So ive decided to buy a 13600k and upgrade my rig, im keeping the ddr4 i already have and ive kinda narrowed it to these two motherboards because of their features and availability but open to other options assuming they aren't a month out like the nzxt i ordered and had to cancel

One thing i noticed at the last minute is the cpu power connectors,the msi uses two 6+2s and the gigabyte uses a 6+2 and a 4pin? unsure of the significance of this :censored:, gigabyte has more vram phases.. is that better? LOL

price is pretty close (msi about 30$ cheaper)

Amazon.com: MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 ProSeries Motherboard (ATX, 12th Gen Intel Core, LGA 1700 Socket, DDR4, PCIe 4, CFX, M.2 Slots) : Electronics

Amazon.com: GIGABYTE Z690 UD AX DDR4 (LGA 1700/ Intel Z690/ ATX/ DDR4/ Triple M.2/ PCIe 5.0/ USB 3.2 Gen2X2/ Type-C/WiFi 6/2.5GbE LAN/Motherboard) : Electronics
