Have always only admired pc shops from a distance. Trying to build my first pc. I ll keep it short-

1. Purpose - Gaming at 4K60FPS. I play mostly story based games. Visual quality is important to me.
2. Divided over motherboard. (a) Asrock b650 pro rs (ATX) or (b) Asrock b650m pro rs (m-ATX). reason - the ATX board has 12+8+1 60A power stages vs 8+2+1 50A power stages on m-ATX board. Also the ATX has beefier heatsinks. Also GPU are extremely overpriced in my place. So might have to go the crossfire way in a few years. For this the ATX has secondary PCIE3x16(x4) at PCIE_3 position on the ATX board while it is at PCIE_2 position on the m-ATX board. The secondary PCIEx16 slot is connected to CPU in both motherboards.

I am open to NVIDIA GPU too. Though I know I won’t be able to combine two of them.

This is the build I have been able to plan so far -

Thank you for patiently reading this far. Thank you for any and all comments/suggestions.
