This is the currently best all around performance budget build.

Is the reason that fast DDR4 is better than average DDR5? or is DDR5 still too expensive?
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank leeterbike

I have a 7900x, ddr5, 4090 and I honestly cant tell if its any faster. (in daily use with moderate to high loads) Obviously mine is faster, when testing the CPU only, (in games) the difference isn't that noticeable. (only specific titles) Video processing is about 30% faster with the DDR5/7900 vs 13600k/3600 ddr4

2. D5 is both good and priced reasonably right now. The good is because most recent AAA games and Apps does utilize much bandwidth over latency. Reviews like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I...eVA
3. You still gonna see counter proof of exotic D4 still good in competitive games, but problem is when you considering buying those D4 4000 CL16 or D4 3600 CL14 b-die. they're somewhat more expensive than med tier D5.
4. DDR5 are well good overclocker, especially if your D5 is using Hynix chip, every single one of them can overclock to at least 6600@CL32 w/o any problem. And B660 do support t XMP and memory oc this time. On the other hand D4 is pretty much pushed to limits when you bought them, every single b-die has been made to exotic pairs which cost way more than cheap D4 sticks. So an example is:
if you pay $140 for 32G D4 3600@CL16 the best it might do is 3800@CL16. While you pay $150 for 32G D5 5200@CL36 it can easily oc to 6600@CL32 which improves a lot and matching top of the line D5 performance. To compete with it, you might need to spend $250 for b-die D4 to oc to 4000@CL16 to match, but you already see the irony here.
So all in all, if you're build a brand new PC with nothing at hands, you might be better consider D5 for they're fair priced now and potential to use for next 4-8 years to come. However if you have a exist system and D4 at hands, especially those are exotic D4 memory, you'd better stick to it for a little longer.

I've never heard of CL32 or CL40, does the insane data rate of DDR5 more than make up for the latency?

I do think 13600k performs better than 7700x and the memory set from micro center is not the best. But I have watch numerous benchmark from hardware unbox, GN, LTT, etc. I ran some of the same test such as r20, r23, god of war, horizon, and my results stay within 5% of their result. I am not sure how much differences ddr5-6000 memory would make if you are doing productive task on a daily basis, but it is not noticeable in my use case, which is gaming in AAA titles at 1440p. If you plan to upgrade in around 3, 4 years, am5 is worth considering if you have a micro center around.

I only came up with about $100 difference this deal with RAM vs a $100 motherboard with the x3d.. I'd suggest a beafier $125 option though or refurb.
You always pay more for the latest and greatest and this is solid for a fresh release.
It seems core for core that AMD and Intel have somewhat switched positions, I remember when Intel fanboys mocked AMD even though it won in multi thread.

Imagine the the fanboys who bought a 7600k instead of a 1600 back in 2017. Hahaha I can upgrade to a 5800x3d with the same board. Can't say the same for 1151 owners. 🤣

That said, I've got a 7700X and ASRock X670E from that microcenter deal with the free RAM and it's amazing 😍
