DDR4/5 thing is quite a dilemma
I had a look at DDR5/4800 vs. DDR4/3200 pricing for my upcoming (eventually) build, and amortised over the life of the machine it's only a few pence a day. Oddly, the Z690 mobo with DDR5 support seems to be less than the equivalent Z590/DDR4 one which was in my build list before I updated the plan to Gen12

12900k on the way. Overclockers were doing non-retail packaged for £560 which seemed like a good reason to grab one. Less than I paid for the 9900k three years ago.
Very unsure what to do about motherboard or RAM. This DDR4/5 thing is quite a dilemma.
