It seems you're asking about PCIe4 as a common choice for gaming setups. Most modern games work well with it, and you don't necessarily need a powerful CPU beyond certain limits. If it only supports PCIe 3, it's still viable for budget builds since the main slot can handle around 3070 MHz. You could potentially upgrade to a $500 PCIe card for better performance.
The listed specifications indicate M.2 slots with PCIe 4.0 support.
Uncertain about the previous assumption, I only realized it when the video was released today.
I wasn't aware of everything related to it; it seems the video is the main source. I thought maybe someone else had seen it for a while, since I'm not up to date. The product doesn't mention any PCIe versions other than PCIe 3, which made me curious.
That’s a different page than the one I got. Very complete. If it’s got pcie4, it’s usable at any level of gaming except top end despite the 2166mhz memory. The cpu is fast enough and you can put any video card you want to on it. I might think of a 6400 for a low end system. This seems like the new low for a high refresh 1080p gaming machine PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($73.99 @ Newegg) Motherboard: Gigabyte A520M S2H Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($74.99 @ Newegg) Memory: Silicon Power SP016GBLFU320B22 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL22 Memory ($35.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Patriot P210 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($43.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: Gigabyte EAGLE Radeon RX 6400 4 GB Video Card ($139.99 @ Newegg) Case: Zalman T6 ATX Mid Tower Case ($44.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: SeaSonic S12III 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($69.00 @ B&H) Total: $482.94 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2023-02-25 14:59 EST-0500 so replace the cpu and motherboard with that and you get slower memory but two more cores. Replace the 6400 with something huge and you get 4k high refresh gaming for super cheap. Would be weird that the video card costs 4 times what the rest of the system does but I think it would work.
Support for 4.0 x16 is available on those Tiger Lake Erying combinations. A resizable bar is also included. Contrary to Dawid's comments, XMP functions but restricts speed (sellers mention 3200MHz) and offers no customization. For instance, changing my DDR4 3600 to 3400MHz seems unusual. The 11980hk versions can be overclocked, while 11900h and 11800h cannot. On all models, you can tweak BCLK for minor overclocks. Because of thermal concerns, I recommend choosing the 11800h model if possible.
