The TUF X870 plus wifi was relatively easy to work with for a first time gaming pc builder like me--my biggest hiccups were getting bios to update using flashback and having to convert the thumb drive to MBR, and no display whatsoever on first attempt at POST which corrected itself by just restarting using the power button. Armory Crate for updating and managing devices was pretty intuitive.
Board is well built and looks good to boot! Bios are very easy to upgrade, has plenty of ports, and aura sync works very well for RGB. If you're planning on filling it up with M.2s keep in mind there is some lane sharing, overall though it is a very good board for the price.
Motherboard is great bios could use some more refinement on the mouse side you can use the mouse but it doesn't always notice you select something have to click it multiple times for it to register
