ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI D4 Intel Z790 LGA 1700 ATX

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI D4 is a solid, “safe bet” motherboard if you want a reliable DDR4 Z790 platform in a full-size ATX build. The ROG branding usually means decent onboard features and sensible tuning options, and the board tends to feel aimed at people who actually tinker a bit rather than just boot-and-forget. For the money (£263.34 ex-VAT), I’d say it’s competitively priced *if* you specifically need DDR4 (rather than paying to move to DDR5) and you want ASUS’ BIOS experience and stability track record.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it for a cost-focused office or light-duty workstation build where you’ll never use the “gaming” extras—then you’re paying ROG tax without real payoff. Also, if you’re planning a longer-term platform move and your budget can stretch, DDR5 boards can be a better forward-looking investment. In short: buy it if you’re building a DDR4 gaming/creator PC for a business that values smooth BIOS/feature set and doesn’t mind spending a bit more on the motherboard; skip it if this is just a basic deployment where uptime and lowest cost per system matter most.
