This £116 motherboard supports the Core i9 13900K and cheap DDR4 RAM
One mistake I often see novice PC builders making is overspending on the motherboard.

One excellent example of just such a motherboard is the Gigabyte B760M Gaming X DDR4, a simple option that supports 12th/13th-gen Intel processors all the way up to the 13900K. With an asking price of just £116 right now, you can pick up this plus a cheap 16GB DDR4 RAM kit for just £152, letting you spend the vast majority of your PC budget where it really matters.
