What type of RAM does the ASUS TUF Gaming B560-Plus WiFi support?

Check ASUS's official specifications for the TUF Gaming B560-Plus WiFi to confirm the supported memory type and maximum speed.

Is socket LGA1200 a good long-term choice?

Socket LGA1200 has a good lifecycle ahead with confirmed support for future processor generations, protecting the long-term investment.

Which form factor is better, ATX or Micro-ATX?

The answer depends on your needs. ATX provides more PCIe slots (ideal if you need multiple expansion cards, capture cards or additional SSDs), better cable management space and generally more rear connectivity options. Micro-ATX reduces the overall build size while keeping in most cases the same basic gaming features: one PCIe x16 slot for the GPU, 2-4 M.2 slots and enough USB ports. For pure gaming both form factors are equally capable.
