Ram capacity, and a solid Ethernet nic with support in your target os are my number 1. # of sata/nvme connectors would priority 2. of course cpu compatibility like you mentioned. I have had good luck over the years with inexpensive or even used mobos. I tend to spend more on the psu than mobo. Make sure you run some stress tests after you install it to help identify any failed components on the board. ``
PCI lanes in alternate of SATA/Ethernet NIC. If it's not on the motherboard there's a damn good chance you can buy a PCI/M.2 card for it.
Yeah I tried browsing for some used options but shipping here in Canada starts to bring the cost close to newer ones. Also, good point on the PSU. That's fairly old too so might look at something newer.
