No need to worry about compatibility issues—this board works perfectly with your gaming PC setup. Since you're not planning any modifications, it should fit smoothly without extra work.

It's a gaming-focused motherboard, which makes sense why you'd appreciate it.

The 600 series chipset has some issues with DDR5 support, making the B760 a better choice overall. It’s tough to adjust Raptor Lake without it. It all comes down to whether you’re willing to pay the premium. PCPartPicker lists the CPU, motherboard, and memory options clearly. Total cost is around $765 when shipping and taxes are included. Prices reflect current offers from retailers like Newegg Canada. If your system needs fast USB ports or similar features, go with a board that fits those requirements.

Thank you for the idea. It seems this board only includes one NVMe port, which isn’t enough for your needs. You’d benefit from at least three or four slots.

It's mainly just two options. However, for four configurations, you're mostly limited to the Z series chipset, and most ATX B760 models come with three slots by default.

It might make sense to switch to a 12700/13600 with a DDR4 board. It would save you $200 compared to your current setup, and the components listed are available from GIGABYTE. You could move your existing 32GB RAM into this system to maintain compatibility.
