I'm getting all the pieces together for my new build, I don't do it often, the last build being over 6 years old now (OK, I've moved from HDD's to SSD's, but that's it!)
I'm going for an 13700K (it was cheaper than than non-K) on an MSI Z790 Tomahawk DDR5 (for the increased PCI lanes over the B760)
Non of this will be overclocked. Not a huge gamer, nothing that would ever push a system to it's limits. I do a lot of photo and video editing though.
Looking at getting a healthy chunk of memory this time, either 64gb or 96gb as my current 16Gb system is starting to struggle with the latest versions of Photoshop and Premier.
Does the memory have to be on the QVL list, as MSI's current compatibility list for 64Gb kits, isn't very well populated.
Looking at something like Kingston's F5-5600J3036D32GA2-RS5K or F5-6000J3040G32GA2-RS5K, both say on their site compatible with MSI Z790 13th Gen boards, but neither are on the MSI list.
Is it that critical when I'll not be playing with anything fancy other than enabling XPM?
