[SOLVED] z490 motherboards

[dradu20]

Hello everyone!I plan on buying the Intel's 10th gen CPUs.I was thinking of buying Gigabyte Z490 aorus elite.I haven't decided yet so any suggestions are welcome.
Also I used userbenchmark to test the compatibility of my components and I tried using a 2x16gb RAM and it's says it's not working...why?I read the specifications of the motherboard and it should work...
(https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCBuilder/Custom/S189196-M1141981.153864.693540.998434vsS0-M?tab=RAM )
Thanks alot!

userbenchmark doesn´t know the Z490 well for now, only few tested their system on this site. Also the (BETA) behind the RAM compatibility mark doesn´t look very confident.

You can also have a look on gigabyte´s support homepage for tested RAM modules:
https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_z490-aorus-elite_20200527.pdf

The RAM is not listed there, but could work nonetheless

10600k looks like a much better choice.

The thing is that where I live there is only i5 10400.I was thinking also about buying the i7-10700k(also the only option i got here).So is it worth buying i7 instead of i5?

What RAM should I choose for 32gb?And also what motherboard(socket 1200)?
Don't think about shipping,I want the price of the motherboard to be around $200 and same for RAM.Any suggestions?
