I won’t focus on minor details about the CPU specs for a DDR4 setup... But honestly, it looks like there are better Intel LGA1700 options than the 13600. Looking at the overall picture, this choice seems solid—it offers a good value with minimal changes needed. It’s a decent upgrade without disrupting other parts too much. Just make sure to update the BIOS before installing the new CPU.
When the amount reaches 13600k, the PSU should be checked—either approved or require additional support.
