Hey, just wanted to chime in here as well. As some of you know, I got the ASUS PRIME X670E-PRO motherboard, and despite the recent troubles I'm quite happy with it. I also went with the ASUS TUF version of my GPU, so figured it was a great fit. As for compatibility, ASUS are really great, and support a wide variety of RAM and specs. I also have a 6000MHz kit (Kingston FURY Beast CL36), and just want to point out that right now, your 6000MHz kit will be limited to 4400 or so due to the MOBO issues. They have no choice but to fix this, but regardless of your EXPO settings, the memory can't surpass that frequency on these boards right now. I'd go for the 6000 kit regardless, as they will fix the issue in time. It would be a bad look otherwise, with both DDR5 kits and AM5 needing traction in the market, ASUS would be silly not to be on top of this.

I think your plan/build sounds good. And, yes indeed, shit is expensive. I still can't quite wrap my head around how much my build cost me, all things included.

Your opinion is more than welcome.

My plan is to leave the RAM running at standard specs until Asus manages to get its sh*t together, and then turn on EXPO. Seems like the mosr sensible thing to do.

By the way, does your run at 4400? I thought the standard was 4800.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Launches on 24th May & AMD Radeon RX 7600 8 GB On 25th May

It's like they sat at a family dinner table and decided when to launch these products

More like both have talked with their contacts in retail to learn when the other one was going to launch something. Sketchy, but passable.

What has me more interested, tho, is the rumored price of the 7600. Yes, I know it's not going to be a great GPU, but if it does launch close to the rumored $250, it could be a banger, even with only 8GB of VRAM.

So the announcement of an announcement that they made last week was for more 4090 cards. Great, just what we all needed.
