I am building a machine for my “productivity” loads (mostly large code bases compilations + lots of virtual machines).
Main specs: intel i7 13700K, no gpu, 1tb m.2
Because of vms I run, I need some ram, so I would buy 64gb. Should I go DDR4 3200 or DDR5 5600?
DDR4 is quite cheaper, also motherboard is quite cheaper, so it adds up. But would DDR4 be a bottleneck for cpu?
Most reviews talk about gaming, but maybe ddr4 and ddr5 effect my workloads different?
In my country it’s $50 or even less. 4 more e cores for work is always welcome. You can go either way 13700k or 14700k. I choose the latter personally. It’ll pay for itself fast. What your budget allows, go for it. You can also either go for z690 if it’s cheaper than b760. What I always require though and important to consider is DDR5, pcie gen 5, number of m.2 storage, and # of connectors. Your usecase might be different.
