why do you need AM5 motherboard? are you buying entire PC? or are you buying just the motherboard because you already have other parts?

because I'd like to have amd cpu in the future and yes I'm buying entire pc and don't have it (also I'm not going to reply now because I'm going to sleep)

if you're buying AMD CPU in future, why not wait? prices of AM5 motherboards can be lower, unless they're discounted in your country now?

that depends, is 7000 and 9000 series all you want to drive, or do you want to drive later (more powerful) CPUs too?

 

is FH5 and WT the only things you'll be doing?

Just to be sure I can't have motherboard that I can now put 12500f and later upgrade to 7000 ryzen?

no, that was never possible, 12400f is Intel, LGA1700 socket, Ryzen 7000 series is AM5 socket

 

they're completely different:

 

 

For AM5 motherboard, you'd also need DDR5 RAM, because there isn't an AM5 motherboard with DDR4 RAM slots.

So when what motherboard should I get when I will upgrade?

either of these on this list support AM5 processor, 9000 series if the BIOS is right,

 

and the motherboards have strong enough power delivery for future CPUs that might draw even more power than the current ones do.

do you need to look for motherboard right now? you can come back to these forums when you have the money and when you will want to upgrade

No, Intel CPU cannot run on AMD motherboard and vice versa.

 

This should be pretty obvious as you look at the chipset names and what CPU needs what.

 

I would do a bit more research so you have a base understanding of what you're spending your money on, so you can be confident you're getting what you want.
