and all the Aorus people have suddenly gone silent.

@Andrew 1337 That's interesting. Wonder if I'll get any other opinions to help persuade me to pick 1 over the other. Where are all the people that love the Aorus??? Or the ones desperately waiting for a full release of the Asus....

Please ignore price and explain your reasoning. Which is a better board Asus Rog Strix x570-I Gaming or Gigabyte X570-I Aorus pro wifi?

@Stormseeker9 That was my thought as well. Figured they'd at least test a few higher ram sticks.

Looking at the spec sheet the Aorus X570 I should handle 64GB. However when looking at the compatibility sheet i don't see anything above 16GB. I'm looking at Corsair LPX (CMK32GX4M2B32C16). So is the compatibility list wrong or the spec page on Gigabyte's site?

@Tiffanysinyee correct at that price it sure isn't. I'm hoping that once it pops in newegg or on prime it's alot cheaper. Thinking someone is trying to make a few bills off having it available first.

@Tiffanysinyee I've seen them popping up on amazon the last few days. Nothing prime yet and as stupid prices ($361).

just check out the Asus support page for the board. https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/TUF-B450-PRO-GAMING/HelpDesk/

@jonnyGURU I get there is a point where lower doesn't mean cheaper. I ended up grabbing it cause $30 was worth an extra 5yr warranty. On top of the better build quality and Zero-RPM fan. Thanks for everyone's input.

So if a 450w is way more than I need AND per the sticky threads there is no reason to get a higher watt PSU. The recommendations of a higher watt psu is because of build quality? Any other 450w recommendations? I thought the SF450 and CXM450 where pretty solid.

Newegg is running a $10 off right now for the semi-modular psu between grabbing that and taking Goldenlag's advise and getting a Be Quiet for $30 more.

going to lightly game but mostly photoshop/lightroom. I cut out cost some cost and thought the RAM would be the best place to upgrade. My research might be wrong but it looks like ps/lr wont take advantage of vram over 4gb. The GPU will be an upgrade way down the road.

Since you didn't read the words in the first post and skipped right to the build. Yes i'm between the waiting for the Asus x570-i and just grabbing Auros x570-i . Also yes I'm in the US (which it also says in WORDS) under the NBnP post you skimmed through. I'm trying to follow the passive aggressive theme this thread has taken on......

the reason i went with the 32gb is so i don't have to worry about that upgrade down the road.

Seon123 that is the correct build. I took some of the advise but was looking for 2nd opinions on the PSU. I was able to get the m.2 and gpu for cheaper than the listed price.
