I bought a ddr4 mb and have used it for a while, it's flawless but thinking about ddr 5 ram since i have a little experince with ddr5 ram and it had higher 1% lows than my current ddr4 setup

Asus Prime Z790-P or Gigabyte Z790 UD is the cheapest i can find since i want a z mb because i have a 13 gen k cpu i wanna have the option of adjusting, not being limited to what i can adjust

32 or 64 gb 6000mhz cl30 or 6400mhz cl32 is what i want, also 64gb of ddr4 the options is limited (stock), not shure an extra pair of ripjaws v 3600mhz cl 16 would run stable (not on the qvl list)

IMHO, I'd side with the Gigabyte board but to also add;

The 13th and 14th Gen Intel processors were the one's hit with issues. So I'd ask you to keep your expectations moderate on the platform. Make sure you're on the latest BIOS version as soon as you get the platform to POST.

About the ram, the sweet spot for Intel's platform would be between DDR5-6000MHz and DDR5-6400MHz, tight latencies, dual channel. but DDR5-6000MHz is a safe number to stick to and they usually are the cheapest ram kit to find. Regarding ram capacity, what sort of tasks will you tax the system with?
