    Thank you for this! Prices on everything are almost normal now. I worked myself up to 3 grand with Z690, 12900K, 64GB DDR-5 at 6GHZ This would be about 800 bucks, SO for now, I'll go with this, a12700K, and use 1/2 of my 128GB of DDR-4, 2666. I can do it all for under $900 with a 1KW supply.

      You should be fine with just 32 GB RAM. Save yourself the money and put that towards the 12900K. I use the mobo and ram both DDR5 versions and under 3k for the build. But I went to Micro Center. Try there too.

    Been tough deciding between this one, asus tuf, and the msi pro a. Will be my first build ever with a 12700k and 3080 hybrid. Big upgrade from a 2012 MacBook lol.

      I got the msi edge for my 12600k and I love it, asus was having problems during launch, may be better now. Overclockeing is handled well by the msi edge 👏 newegg reviews are worth checking out

    Ddr 4 and ddr5 mobos are around the same price. The problem is the ddr5 ram prices at this moment. Eventually ddr5 ram will be widely available at affordable prices then I can upgrade. For now I'll stick to ddr4.

      Exactly and that's if you can get it.
      Ddr5 may be worth it in the future but problem is most of the good new boards require ddr5 and like you said ddr5 isn't widely available yet.

    Funny enough, currently the price is $250 for the Z690 MPG Edge Wifi DDR5 and $273 for the Z690 MAG Tomahawk Wifi DDR5 so the Edge is great value right now although it’s still significantly more expensive than say the Z390 Edge which was only around $175 iirc

    Nice video! I want to pair my i5 12600K and I am doubting between three Z690 DDR 4 motherboards: the Aorus Elite ($290), MSI MPG Edge ($375) Asus ROG Strix A Gaming ($420) I am a casual gamer. Which one would you advise and why?

    • @avrona
      @avrona  2 года назад +2

      Depends on how much you want to to spend, however Id say an Aorus Elite will provide you everything you need at its lower price, and there isn't anything in the other two that will justify the higher prices.

    • @justinward3218
      @justinward3218 2 года назад +1

      The Aorus Elite was only $30 cheaper at my time of purchase, so I went with the Edge.

      No.
      It's separate boards.
      You can't get the ddr 4 version and use ddr 5 memory or vice versa.
