After a 7-year break from PC building, I'm seeking advice on the most dependable motherboard manufacturers for a mid to high-tier gaming setup. I'm planning a 1440p gaming and media build in the $1500-2000 range, likely with an AMD CPU (7000 series or newer) and GPU combo.

While I'm not aiming for maximum settings, I assume a higher-end motherboard will cover my needs. Which brands have been consistently producing reliable boards recently? I'd appreciate insights on manufacturers known for their quality, durability, and performance in the current market.

Any recommendations or experiences with specific brands or models would be helpful. Thanks for your input!
