Hey there. The cost variation was clear, so I think I'll choose the Elite version.
you currently have a few components ready. the b650m hdv at 107£ offers limited value beyond a new form factor and wifi; the extra dimm slots are probably not useful and i’m unsure if 14 usb ports would be worth it, especially with 17 or 21 available. the usb3 option is decent but the hdv already includes 6 usb3. for better performance, consider the b650 pg lightning at 152£ (17 usb3) which provides more usb3 and stronger wifi. if you need gaming features, the b650m pg lightning also offers better vrms compared to the hdv version.
The setup is planned with the following components: CPU – Ryzen 7 7800X3D (still to purchase), GPU – Sapphire RX 7800 16GB (still pending), RAM – Corsair 16GB (under review for a replacement), PSU – Corsair 850W RM (already acquired), 1.5TB SSD with two units (currently owned). Based on earlier discussions about the motherboard, I’m leaning toward the Gigabyte AMD B650M AORUS ELITE AX AM5 Micro-ATX.
You got this information from someone who seems to know a lot about computer specs but isn’t entirely up-to-date on the latest RAM releases.
Yep the more I look into this the more I realise that every single component will need to be replaced, especially the DDR4 RAM. I've been doing a lot of research and think I've settled on G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000MHz CL30 DDR5. Unless you can spot anything wrong with that?
They often find the Flare X5 at comparable speeds and timing more affordable.
