yea this looks exactly like what im looking for. usb c input is nice as i know i'll have a ton of ports free for that. might wait for pay day and go with the slightly pricier model. https://www.takealot.com/creative-labs-stage-360-soundbar-dolby-atmos-with-subwoofer/PLID90877345

Spent most of my budget on my new pc before i realised i dont have anything besides my headset for sound. preferably i'd like to find a nice sound bar to put under my monitor but if theres a better or more affordable solution with speakers i'm open to that as well. Just wanted to know if...

yea i saw the supplier stock. was hoping to just order stuff they had in stock to speed things up even if the lead times are identical. seemed like a safe bet. i guess the question now is how badly do i need pcie 5.0 probably dont need it right now but in the future who can say... i'm thinking...

no other reason than i want the board to be a bit future proof(and also that board seems to be the only one they have in stock for that chipset) corrrect me if im wrong dont only the newer boards have pcie 5.0?

ok i'm also considering a 4080 build with AMD PC Builder - Wootware its a little more expensive but the 4080 is enticing

nah have most of that stuff already. that R45k is just for the tower & i guess i need to get a windows key somewhere too(although i heard that isnt too expensive if you look in the right places XD)

thanks wasn't even aware there was different intel/amd ram. just switched that out

Up until now I was mostly a console gamer. the few games i did play on PC was at 1080p but with everything going multiplatfrom i thought it was a good time to make the jump to pc. on this new build i wouldnt want to play at less than 1440p. aiming for 4k will probably tap out my budget if this...

budget right now i have about R45K to play with. might stretch it to R50K if i can justify it but would rather not

also thanks for all the input everyone. was not expecting so many replies. definitely alot of into to process.

1440p is good enough for me. as for the CPU im getting conflicting answers about the i5 13600K. in this thread i'm seeing either the AMD offering is better or to get a better intel CPU. yeserday i read that i5 is a beast for the price you pay and is very close in performance to the 13700K...

ok i was actually thinking about getting the superflower but the non rgb versions was out of stock. might just go for the rgb one then. thanks for the input

I do want the system to be a bit future proof. the newer motherboard should let me upgrade a bit more overtime no?

1TB storage is fine for me. i've been using 1TB on my laptop over the last couple years and never came close to filling it up. if i ever need more i'll just buy another drive.

Not sure about the AMD vs Intel CPU but that intel i5 seems like a pretty popular pick from what i've read. as for the GPU i'm pretty set on Nvidia GPU only because of streaming. I've watched some friends trying to stream with AMD and it seems to be quite a pain. also read about some driver...
