Time warp gif5/8/2023 But paying Php 20K for a midrange ASUS B650 ITX motherboard is crazy. With AM4 you lose CPU upgradeability, that is a given. Also it only needs cheaper DDR4-3600 CL16 memory. Personally I would go for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D build as it has the lowest overall build cost and performs just the same as the Core i5-13600K or Ryzen 5 7600X. However the first two CPU's need fast DDR5 memory to perform their best. The fastest CPU's there are the Ryzen 5 7600X, Core i5-13600K, and Ryzen 7 5800X3D. It mostly depends on the memory speed, the GPU you will be using, and the overall cost of the build. My take on this is whether you use a Ryzen 5 7600, Core i5-13600K, or Ryzen 7 5800X3D they will all have similar gaming performance:īest Value Gaming CPUs, 13600K, 12600K vs. More CPU upgradeability (especially to X3D chips) Or order a DDR5-6400 C元2 kit from Amazon for an Intel 13th-gen / AM5 Ryzen 7000 build. You can go with a cheaper DDR4-3600 CL16 kit for an AM4 / Ryzen 7 5800X3D build. But if you bought slow memory like DDR5-4800 CL40 or DDR5-5200 CL40, then you might want to consider selling the memory and re-think your build. Then it looks like the Intel build is your best choice. Depending on the CPU cooler you use, expect to limit the TDP in the BIOS.Ĭonsidered the 5800X3D too but I already have DDR5 ram A Core i7-13700K will probably need AIO liquid cooling unless you go with a bigger case that allows taller CPU air coolers. The Lian Li A4H2O case has limited space for CPU air cooling, so you probably have to go with a 240mm AIO liquid cooler.īut if you are mostly using the PC for gaming and not doing heavy all-core workloads, a low profile CPU air cooler should be fine with a Core i5-13500 or Core i5-13600K. The only problem I see with an Intel 13th-gen build is power consumption and heat, especially with the higher TDP parts like the Core i5-13600K or Core i7-13700K. Don't go with a low-end medium-term CPU like the Core i5-12400 considering the amount of money you are spending on other parts. One that you will not need to upgrade for a very long time, or will last until the entire lifetime of the build. Every time you open up your SFF PC it will feel like you are doing open heart surgery. Upgrading an SFF build is something you would want to avoid as much as possible, as replacing the CPU, re-installing the CPU cooler, tying down all the cables again is a headache. What I would expect is you would pair the board with:Ī Core i5-13600K for good gaming performance or.Ī Core i7-13700K for a balance of good gaming + productivity performance However pairing an expensive MSI Z690I Unify motherboard with a Core i5-12400 does not seem like a good build approach. If you really want the Thunderbolt 4 functionality, then go with the Intel build.
