Do I need DMI 8x ? I plan to have 13400 or 13700, ~ RTX4080, two M.2/SSD drives, one HDD. Mostly casual gamer.
Just about the only people who may have problems with DMI 4.0x4 are those running NVMe 4.0x4 SSDs in RAID0/1/10.

Normal people and gamers aren't likely to notice any meaningful performance penalty even from DMI 3.0x4, especially if all of the frequently used stuff is on the CPU-attached NVMe slot at 4.0/5.0x4.

Then i take b760, newer is usually better for me. It will be massive upgrade for me from my i5- 2500k@4.7
