Hello, I have a Gigabyte z370p D3,16 Gb DDR4 with an i5 9600K processor (4.9 cores, 4.5 cache). I'm considering an upgrade to either the i5 13600K or KF, or possibly a 12600K or KF. For the motherboard, I'm targeting a range of 200-250 euros and want something with RGB lighting and good performance for overclocking and gaming. I'm also evaluating the ASUS MB Intel 1700 ROG STRIX B760-A for gaming. Regarding memory, I'm thinking about switching to DDR5 or adding more DDR4 modules to reach around 32 GB, or upgrading to a 16 GB DDR5 stick. I have about 120 euros for RAM and would prefer RGB lighting.

Hello, I'm punctuation. It's nice to meet you. Just a quick note—your setup details were brief. Could you clarify the rest of the configuration? Also, do you have a B760 series motherboard in mind? And what is your overall budget looking like?

I own an MSI RTX 3080 10G Z TRIO graphics card. My RAM is a Hyper X Predator 2.933 MT/s, and I have several storage options: a Samsung 980 NVMe 500GB SSD, a Kingston 500GB SSD, and a Sandisk 250GB SSD. I use Coolermaster AIO water cooling with one fan. My case is a Corsair iCUE 465x, featuring three 120 RGB fans front and one 120 and one 140 fan on top. My total budget is around 500 euros without RAM and about 600 euros with a DDR5 upgrade.

P.S. Knowing your case and drives, or the fans you use, helps me give better advice. I asked clear questions, but if you didn’t answer based on what I shared, maybe you could skip this part. After all, being a "gold contributor" isn’t exactly cool, right? Also, I’m here for gaming PC tips—don’t worry about grammar!

It's just a joke, but you're right about the grammar. For a mobile CPU, getting a 13600k and a Z690 works well. If you need DDR5 support, pair it with an 7700, a B650, and a 6000C36, plus the DDR5.

Sure, I'll make sure to clarify. At least you mentioned something helpful about the B series, which really did assist with my decision. Thanks for that!

Hey there. You're sticking with Intel, that makes sense. Since you're not in your home country and won't be back for a while, it's smart to double-check. For your setup—16 GB DDR4 RAM and 12 GB SSD you're using—adding more RAM isn't necessary unless you need more performance. Stick with what fits your needs and budget.
