For a future GPU with PCIe 5 support, models like x670e or b650e become essential. You'll need plenty of USB and USB-C ports, flashback storage, ASUS BIOS, and more. A 64GB SSD is recommended since you run VMs in Europe where availability and prices differ from the US. This setup is meant to future-proof the system, typically upgraded every two years. This time you're planning a bigger upgrade—likely 9950x3D or higher (with 3DCache) or similar—depending on what arrives next. The GPU choice will depend on the available options.
for pcie 5 and high performance options without excessive cost, the b650e taichi lite is a solid choice. the x670e board falls short in comparison, especially from an i/o perspective. if you want better value, consider the 6400c32 kit instead of the 6000c30. these are die-based solutions that can handle over 10,000 memory modules and will remain reliable through the end of the ddr5 era, since we don’t expect cpus to need 8000+ anymore—though downclocking to 6000 after enabling xmp is still an option.
Thanks for the guidance. The Corsair 6000 CL30 HYNIX you mentioned is indeed cheaper than the 6400 CL32, and using a HYNIX die could be beneficial for your future OC build.
You can achieve a 7950x3d configuration for 16 cores, and the game runs smoothly. Adjusting it properly gives you a 7800x3d version too, which includes 8 high-clock cores.
Uncertain about the reason for the quick update—new chips won’t significantly boost performance.
It will improve, but unless you're using gameplay similar to CS2/Valorant and require 600FPS instead of 500, you'll notice little change since many high-end titles are already constrained by GPU limits. Check out Black Myth: Wukong!
Received the motherboard from Amazon in a damaged package, so I sent it back. I’m considering purchasing an ASUS B650E for a better price—about 25 euros cheaper—and it would have a more reliable VRM and an error display.
