This is really tempting. Can someone talk me out of it? Seems like even with the ridiculous RAM prices, this combo is a decent deal. sure, 32gb would probably make this an instant buy for me, but I mean beggars can't be choosers. I'm stubbornly running a core i5 that won't quit for about 9 years, so it's time for an upgrade. I feel like the mobo is on its last legs, lol.

Consider that this motherboard only has 2 dimm slots and 2 m.2 slots. So when it's time to upgrade your RAM, you're going to have to replace BOTH modules meaning even more money to spend on RAM down the road. And you better have two large m.2 NVME drives already, since those are your only onboard options. Do you really want a mini ITX board?

I realized that, too, the more I looked at the slots. I don't mind mITX because I'm sick of having a giant case and don't really need to expand much anymore, but 2 dimms is concerning since this only comes with 16gb. Great point about the m.2s as well, though that isn't as much of a concern for me.

Going to hold for now, but I'm still going to keep an eye on decent 7700x and 9600x bundles. I may be able to wait out the RAM thing for another year or so, since I am not typically on my desktop quite so much anymore, but we shall see, lol.

If you want mini ITX, then you will have to accept that you only get 2 RAM slots. I've never seen one with 4 slots; they may exist for niche uses but are incredibly rare. Although with DDR5, it's really not recommended to run with 4 sticks. Check out the SFF subreddit /r/sffpc for case ideas; the sizes can range quite a bit depending on how small you are aiming for.
