Hey man
For the m.2s I planned to keep everything separate; the OS on one drive, games on another, and programs, software, storage for videos, photos, and mods on the third. Also, what’s the difference between F and K CPUs? Does one have built-in graphics while the other doesn’t? Can both be overclocked? I’m on the same page with you about the other components. Why is it saying Flash BIOS under a USB?
I chose that particular crucial M.2 for its 2GB cache because I thought it would improve load times for some games.
F: No integrated GPU. No need for manual overclocking.
K: Unlocked, but needs a Z motherboard for manual overclocking.
13th generation CPUs are already boosted, and some boards come with preset overclocks, so the benefit of extra tweaking is minimal. It takes away from the excitement, at least for those who care about it.
No faster than SATA SSDs. Game data is too small for NVMe to surpass SATA speeds. Choose whatever is available at a lower price. The very inexpensive options are dramless ones—perfect for basic photo storage or similar tasks.
I was considering purchasing an AMD CPU but reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of Intel and AMD high-end processors. It mentions that AMD doesn't support or perform well with DDR5, and it's generally less effective compared to Intel in productivity tasks. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for the K-series CPU if it lets me overclock slightly or even undervolt it for power efficiency.
ah ok. Why did you pick the 4090 over the 7900xtx?
I've updated the part list and added fans because I wanna add triple 120s on the bottom. That infinity mirror effect would look really cool. Idk if it's possible for me to run the 3 fans on the shroud and two additional 120s on the top since it shows there's only 2 usb free headers. I checked what connectors they use and it doesn't say usb... How do they work? Is the only option to run those fans a more expensive mobo?

If you have time to wait, consider the 14700k—it has more E cores than the 13700k. However, for the best gaming performance and reduced electricity costs, the 7800X3D might be worth looking into. The 4090 is a clear choice for 4K, as it consumes less power than the 7900XTX. You could opt for the 4090 if possible, or the 7900XTX is also a solid option.
Looking for 1 or 2 (1 intake 1 exhaust) style 120mm PWM fans for replacement, specifically for the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B 51.17 CFM CPU cooler.
