£269 for a 12600KF looks like a bargain if it beats a 5800X in MT considering the 5600X launched at £320 and couldn't even beat a 3700X in MT.

£200 Mobo + £300 CPU (12600KF) + £250 RAM (32 GB 4800 Mhz DDR5) so £720 in total...

A budget version for now was B560 (£110) + i5 11400f (£150) + £120 RAM (32 GB 3200 Mhz DDR4 that's a decent kit to OC, Viper Steel) for £380.

£35 more than a 5600X set up but performance above a 5800X in MT and a higher end board isn't bad. Cheaper B boards will probably arrive later which should mean price parity with a 5600X system or cheaper if you go with a 12400F when those are released.

Hmm, let's see the performance now. Prices are not TOO bad in the end.
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £555.47 (includes shipping: £10.50)

Damn! Though seriously, I'm loving more and more of these boards with the plastic and metal covers hiding most of the circuitry. Plus I've started growing fond of E-ATX.

Cheapest 4 slot spaced motherboard is £930 to £1660... so anyone wanting to stick 2 x 3090 in and use the official 3090 bridge in is in for a expensive time again as was on AM4 motherboards with 4 slot spacing, unless they buy the 3 slot spaced motherboard and the A6000 3 slot bridge at £250...if you can even get them.

Anyways lets wait for the reviews and see what Intel has really done.... This is all a bad sign what is coming for AM5 motherboards with PCI 5 and DDR 5 too..


Edit: maybe this one too is 4 slot spaced but can't see any specs for it if it supports pci 5.0 8x8x on the two slots as no details yet.

Z690 Aorus Master - Intel Z690 DDR5 ATX Motherboard for £430..

or even this (but again no details on the slots if they will do 8x8x):-

Z690 Aorus Pro - Intel Z690 DDR5 ATX Motherboard for £290..

1000 watt PSU should be overkill, but Nvidia and Intel have been forced to increase power use to try and keep up with AMD.

You have to take in to account the amperage spikes on Ampere.

Its where a lot of people go wrong, they think they have a PSU thats enough and it turns out its not..
