[SOLVED] Thoughts and/or changes (April / May build)

[Why_Me]

I won't be doing anything other than playing CoD Warzone, possibly BF6, and surfing the net with this @ 1080P. I realize the prices will change but this is where they are now. I'm debating on going with the trustworthy Intel SSD that's not all that fast or spending $20 more for a faster SSD.

I see no flaws in this.Solid 1080p and 1440p build if im being honest.
This is the first time i see someone use @ as AT in a sentence xD

Oh yeah,why pay 120$ for windows,there are much cheaper ways to get licensed windows

Z590 is for later on upgrades to 11900k/11700k,am i right?
And also ram compatability

The Z590 + rocket lake cpu means native 3200MHz RAM support along with PCIe 4.0 and whatever else intel has for that combo. I plan on sticking with the 11040F due to low TDP (65w) which means low heat vs the unlocked intel chips not to mention the low price vs the unlocked intel chips .. that and no need to O/C these days.

I just came across these boards today. There's more coming but this is what I've found so far. Check out the specs on a few of these and the RAM they support. No reason to spend big money on a Z590 board. The comet lake 'H & B series boards' didn't support 3200MHz RAM and I thought it would be the same with these new 11th gen. boards but luckily I was wrong. This is a game changer imo.

Yeah for the people that dont plan to overclock,but want fast ram support without paying a ton,this is really good.
Bruh why do Asrock board looks so skinny,if thats the proper word .
That Strix tho 👀

Edit:
Also PCIe 4.0 on the first x16 slot and m.2 slots,really really good.

The low end Asrock boards are six layer boards vs the normal 9 layer. They look cheap and nothing I'd want to use with an unlocked chip.

PCI-e 4.0 SSDs indeed sound great on paper....

But, when you measure how much faster Win10 boots, or games loading the 1 second or two shaved off of 20-30 second load times, the differences do not seem as great in the 'real world'...

Save any SSD money for later when you need more space; if money is burning a hole in your pocket, jump to a faster GPU for 'won't need to upgrade GPUs for quite a while'-longevity. (3070? 6800XT?)

Not that much gain with 3070 over 3060Ti in my opinion.
PCIe 4.0 is yet to become better,in the current state its the same as pcie 3.0 in normal tasks,but who knows what will happen in the future.
