Let’s be honest — building a new PC in 2025 isn’t as simple as it used to be. Especially now that AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 series is out and motherboard options are everywhere. Two names you’re going to see a lot are ASRock X870 and ASRock X870E. They sound almost identical, but don’t be fooled — they cater to very different kinds of builders.

So if you're debating which to buy, here’s a straight-up breakdown of what matters — no fluff, no marketing speak. Just the facts, with a bit of real-world advice thrown in.
