Ddr4 ram isn’t furureproof?

You should see DDR5 boards and ram prices first. Your concern will go out of the window immediately.

Casing is one thing to look at. Since I can’t get bigger one. Must be around same dimension as my old coolermaster case. Since I place it on my lower table rack.

state your case model

If you up your budget more, DDR5 and RTX3090 also no issue!

state your case model

CoolerMaster N400 w/Window - KWN2

I looking at similar sidepanel and dimensions casing. in order to place at bottom. I would prefer smaller than n400 one too.

just a question, why recommend msi?

Previously using a p965-ds3 (core2quad days) for donkey years before upgrading too
The gigabyte aorous and asus boards look quite nice too….
