Hello, I’m after a bit of advice I’ve ordered the below build for my PC but having thoughts on wether to keep with Intel or swap to AMD, Im looking at changing the build anyway from the Z390-F to Z490–F motherboard (if I stay with intel, will obviously change if I switch to AMD) any advice would be greatly received!
