doesnt have to look similar if its replicating my build for one of them. Wouldnt want them arguing that 1 is more powerful than the other. They can look different, but if they perform at the same kind of level then ideal

Right, got it.

The CPU is roughly equivalent, I've done the same size of memory (doesn't make sense to buy DDR4 at current prices) and a graphics card that is close(ish).

My basket at OcUK:

1 x Intel Core i5-14600KF (Raptor Lake-S) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-INT-00803) = £179.99
2 x Intel Gamers Days - Battlefield 6 Bundle (SKU: DIG-INT-06117) = £0.00
1 x Gigabyte B760 GAMING X AX (LGA 1700) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-5BU-GI) = £130.00
1 x Crucial Pro 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C46 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-CRU-01085) = £158.99
1 x Sparkle Intel ARC B580 TITAN OC 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-SPK-03779) = £229.99
1 x Crucial T500 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-CRU-01090) = £131.98
1 x PHANTEKS Eclipse G370A - ATX Mid-Tower Case - Black (SKU: CAS-PHK-05088) = £54.90
1 x Phanteks AMP GH 750W 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply Modular - Black (SKU: POW-PHK-02517) = £84.95
1 x Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB Black CPU Cooler - 120mm (SKU: COO-TLR-02724) = £29.99

Total: £1,012.78 (includes delivery: £11.98)

Hes got 64gb in his pc could pull out 32gb and save some money if it's 16gb sticks

Oh, smart! I didn't think of that!

Would have to change the board in my spec to DDR4.

Do you mean pull 32gb out of my current machine, and leave it with 32gb ddr4 in both?
