Hello Guys.
I am building a new desktop PC for my official work and rarely for gaming purpose :). Since I wanted for office work, I wanted a secure and reliable PC, for the same I have opted for 12400f. I am bit confused for the motherboard, maybe your suggestion can solve the problem. For information going with DDR5 motherboard. Between H610 and B760; I have selected B760 motherboard being 3k costlier it is one year newer chipset than H610 and also feels more reliable than H610.

1. Which is better brand in terms of reliability and performance and customer service? ASUS or Gigabyte or MSI

2. Whether to go for Basic B760 Motherboard or with Wifi model. The summary of my research is that Asus is around 300 costlier than other 2. And for wifi; it is not necessity but will be bonus feature as I have wired connection provision. In future; if demand arise PCI wifi can be brought separately; which I believe will be more reliable too. Your suggestion will be mean a lot to me as it will help me decide from the best.
Thanks in advance.
 




These are the motherboards I have selected.
 
Do not get entry-level motherboards, even in the B760 chipset. They have shitty VRMs without any heatsink, temps would always be high.

B760M-K from ASUS is a good option. Asrock B760M PG lightning is a fantastic board, but it does not have Wi-Fi.
If you want Wi-Fi, get the AYW Wi-Fi model, or if you want MSI, you can get the B760M Bomber Wi-Fi, or if you want Gigabyte, you can get the B760M G AX (this is what I have).

Boards with Wi-Fi normally cost 1k more, and it'd cost the same if you buy a Wi-FI card, and you would also have to lose a PCIe slot. If you need Wi-Fi, you might as well spend that extra money.
 
Thanks for your suggestion Mohan997. However the wifi motherboard cost arnd 2k more than the basic one and the difference I found is mainly of Wifi and some extra USB slots and maybe of heatsink too, but i cant recall. Any more suggestions will help me close my confusion. Thanks..
