Hello guys,

Have to start by stating I'm a long time super big fan of the channel. 

Really need advice on which would be a better option for new build since its been around 30 years I haven't build a computer, and really need your advice on which components / parts i need to buy. What i know is This computer should be small:

Processor: Intel i9 13th k

Ram: ddr5 64 gb

Video: would like a founders edition but too expensive any recommendations?

Motherboard: really need a recommendation since i want it to be matx or even itx.

Case: thermaltake micro atx core v21

Cooler: have no idea but needs to be silent not necessary opting out off water cooler for cpu

psu: have no idea but needs to be super good so it can last an eternity.

 

I really need help since I just don't want to do a bad investment so please give me advice!!!!!

Is there a particular reason you want 64gb?

[Berns]

the 64 gb memory is just because I run gns3 labs which uses virtualization and since I deploy easily 2 palo alto firewalls in HA its only there 10 gb and the rest of my lab uses let's say another 24 gb so total would be 34 gb plus what im using in the background. Also, Sincerely just a failsafe since I don't want to keep investing on memory and just want to use the build like for at least 5 years with no intervention.

I also have 64GB, but I don't have the excellent reason that you do...Just investing in the future.
