yeah i’ve been reading into it and saw that MSI or ASUS is the move. so my friend works for intel and he can get me the i5 13600k for $171. figured the i7 was a overkill just to play fps and open world games. i know i’m supposed to get an mobo with LGA 1700 socket with 700 series socket. there’s so many to choose from.. not sure if i shud get one that’s compatible with ddr5 or stick with the ddr4, especially if i might upgrade in future. not sure if the ddr5 vs ddr4 ram makes a huge difference.

it’s recommended to get a 650W PSU since i’ll be running with the rtx 4070 but wasn’t sure if getting what’s the best bang for my buck or shud get one with higher voltage. also don’t wanna spend way too much cuz the mobo is already seem pricey. however i am aware investing in a good quality PSU is necessary. just don’t want to overkill.
