I decided to move on newest platform 13900K+Z790, but before i'll fu** up something like with 10th intel gen instead of amd i'd like to ask.
So, im wondering about MOBO and RAM, i really dont know which motherboard i should get and with which RAM basic clocks, would be great to do it cheapest.
Best priced mobo for me would be this one : https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-Z790-EZ-Latch-Multi-Key-Motherboard/dp/B0BHTMXMRQ
looks poor but i heard its almost the same like this one https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-Z790-Q-Flash-EZ-Latch-Motherboard/dp/B0BH9DXY38 , just the power section is different (16+1 < 16+1+2)
Its really worth to pay extra to elite model?

And about the Ram, i'd like to go with basic DDR5 4800MHZ and just overclock it to 6000 by XMP, the price differences between 4800 and 6000 are really high in my country, but im afraid about the quality of sticks and their potential for OC, it would be better to pay extra for 6000mhz instead of 4800, some of the sticks are hynix, some micron, where micron are weak for OC.

Platform Specs :
CPU : 13900K
MOBO : Gigabyte Z790 UD AX
PSU : Endorfy Supremo FM5 Gold 850w
BOX : Endorfy Signum 300 ARGB
AIO : Endorfy Navis F280
RAM : Kingston Technology Fury Beast 32GB (2x16GB) (KF556C36BBEK2-32) <<<< These ones on hynix sticks, i heard that OC potential is up to 7000mhz easily, but im not sure.
GPU : 6900XT
 
Never heared of "Endorfy" hardware brand....

QVL lists says these are Hynix-M, so DDR5-7000 would be the upper limit. Usually DDR5-6800 32-38-38-96 @ 1.5V works. Probably could tweak it a bit for better results. Might not even do that well...

A bit high voltage, that cheap mobo will handle it?

They are up and coming similar to what bequiet was a while back. Sorry @Drzeww I have nothing to add as Ive not been shopping for Intel 700 series lately.

What will be the primary uses of your PC and if it's gaming what is your monitor resolution?

Photoshop, Android Studio, some video editing, i dont like to play on PC just some exclusives on ps, but maybe i'll try PC version of calisto.

Nope. DDR5 is 5V in (always) and the DIMMs themselves step it down. Memory overclocking is trial and error. I'm sure 6000-6400 will be easy to do though.
So Motherboard is okay, i thought will be shity.

I'd suggest a bigger PSU.
