I'm preparing a build without a graphics card and wanted to check the processor options from both Intel and AMD. You mentioned you have an RTX 3050 and a 550 source, but your current setup is quite outdated. It's surprising how long old parts can still work, though they struggle with modern games and rendering tasks. I'm considering a Ryzen 5-7600 or an i5-13400F to reach DDR5 directly. While DDR4 will eventually fail, it’s still useful for now. What do you think? I’m looking for affordable recommendations for the case, 32GB RAM, and the processor you mentioned. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

The current DDR5 boards won't work for speeds a few years from now. If you're looking to cut costs, consider a DDR4 board. DDR4 is nearing the end of its life, and the technology available now will likely be its final form. What are your plans for a motherboard, RAM, and CPU? Which CPU and motherboard do you already own?

I suggest the options listed, considering your need for no graphics card and assuming you don’t require a case or power supply. Let me know if you’d like adjustments.
