The i5-13600K is a great choice. For my build, I went with an ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E motherboard. It has worked well so far!

Oh really? That sounds cool! @ixitheunicorn, what's your primary use for the CPU?

I recently got a MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard and it's been great. I chose this one because it was the best value option.

That's helpful, @shemsheep. I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, do you guys recommend any specific features to look for in a chipset?

Yeah, make sure the chipset supports overclocking if you plan on pushing your CPU to its limits. Also, consider PCIe slots and memory channels.

I agree with @ixitheunicorn. For gaming, having more PCIe slots is beneficial, especially for multiple GPU setups.

Good advice! Thanks, guys!

Yeah, thanks a lot for the help! I'll take your suggestions into account and make my decision.
