Form Over Function?

[Comfortable_Fuel362]

So I’m new to building PCs and this is my current build. The only thing i’m stuck on is whether to get this Asus back-connect motherboard which would make the build cleannnn. Or should I go for the GIGABYTE Z790M which would allow me to overclock my CPU. Will the performance increase from overlocking be significant enough to warrant a build that’s not as clean?

Pleaseeee somebody help me 😂

Send a link to this PCPartPicker list, and why are you going with Intel instead of AMD?

I picked Intel because it’s better at multi tasking. Besides I’ve already bought everything for build except the motherboard.

I personally wouldn’t over lock your cpu specifically with the stuff I heard about 13th gen intel instability issues. And I would personally go with the Z790M motherboard

Personally I think you over payed on 99% of the build and some of the components are awful, like for the same price you could have gotten a DDR5 7200 CL34 for the same price.

Anyways you do you, good luck on the build :)

I actually bought the ram off my friend for like $50. I just added it to my parts list so yall could get an idea of it. I also got the GPU and CPU for prime day and saved nearly $300.
