I am running this CPU and a Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Ultra. I only have a RTX3060Ti but I was able to play DIV with almost maxed settings at 2k. I had 32GB of RAM but I think DIV beta had a memory leak cause it was using almost 29GB so I upgraded to 64GB of RAM so we'll see if they fixed that leak or glitch with the beta happening this weekend!

If I could justify, I would purchase this kit for one of my other desktops I have. Highly recommend! I was a little leery of the bending bracket this generation of CPU's have... so I purchased this plate from amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1 to help support the CPU cooler. If you're not familiar with what I'm talking about, there have been tests by incredibly talented people that show thermal paste and cooling is uneven with stock brackets on this 12th and 13th generation of motherboards. So certain parts of your CPU may get much hotter than they should be getting... possibly reducing performance or even lifespan. Adding that 3rd party bracket will allow the heatsink to sit properly and flush and not bend or warp any parts of the socket.. keeping everything uniform.
I use a closed loop liquid cooled cooler for all my builds.... even though I don't overclock, but I feel it is more efficient than air.

If I only need the CPU (and maybe the motherboard (upgrading from the 12th gen i5)) is there a go-to marketplace to dump the RAM and Motherboard? Also, what would the going rate be for those? I am about 15 mins from a Microcenter, so I am not tied to Newegg.
