See how intel gpus are doing in the games you want to play. Sometimes each gpu brand (intel, amd, nvidia) has issues with some games/things like ray tracing.

u7-265kf along with prime z890-p is too pricy for what it delivers . i d not get them

Memory prices are spiking (mostly) everywhere and not just in China. DDR4 started increasing in price because production was being dropped, and now DDR5 is increasing because AI data centers are ordering a lot of the production time.

Whatever you do, you want to make sure you get 32 GB. DDR5 isn't made with anything smaller than 16 Gbit (equals 2 GB) chips, and they commonly have 8 chips (single rank) or 16 chips (dual rank) per memory stick. So the only way you can possibly get less than 32 GB total is to either use a single stick of memory, or to use memory which has half (4) the amount chips. Both options severely reduce the throughput/performance of the memory itself so I would not do that. So even if it's more expensive, it's worth getting 32 GB or more. Rumors are that memory may be expensive for a while, and DDR5 platforms don't do high speeds with four sticks of memory, so it might be worth considering 2x 24 GB (48 GB total) or 2x 32 GB (64 GB total) if you plan to stick with the PC for five+ years and don't want to drop memory speeds later. 32 GB should last five more years though, but 2027 will probably bring new consoles and a few years later will probably be games coming with them made in mind, so right around that time might be when things start pushing for more, so if this is a PC you want to last, this is the time to make that decision.

As for recommendations, on AM5 the common suggestion for DDR5 would "6000 MHz/CL 30" but I don't know for Intel. I do know Intel benefits from greater speeds and LGA 1851 sort of fails to impress in gaming compared to not only the competition but also against its own predecessor, so I'm not sure if 6000 MHz would be giving up a lot of performance or not. I believe many reviews include 6000 MHz results (as well as higher) so it should give you an idea of the difference it makes.

For storage, I'd try and get 2 TB if you can, but if you need to go with 1 TB for cost reasons that's fine. Try and get something TLC (ideally with DRAM) for the system drive.

This is all assuming you can fit it in the budget. I'm not very familiar with pricing in China.

If you are on a budget, even if you aren't really, as it stands right now, unless you can get a heck of a deal on Intel, go with AMD for the cpu and a sfor the gpu, go nvidia.

Intel processors are to fill the charts only .so you get the idea how bad they re

They aren't 'bad' it's they aren't like the FX chips were, they just aren't as good and unless they are a GREAT price they aren't worth using, not so much because of the chip themselves, which let's be honest and mid range cpu's upwards are fast enough for most games these days, at good fps, the issue really is how much extra you have to pay for good memory and a mobo to get the most out of them compared to AMD which you can run happily on a cheaper mother board with slower memory and get as good or better performance overall.

Unless you are using specific programs that favour Intel that is, though I'm unaware of any that favour the ultra chips like some used to favour the older cpu's.

little more , come on , it s not little more but too more - more phases of the mobo , higher TDP cooler , greater PSU . Forget it . even if you got i3 , upgrade path is not seamless . Nah

Where did I say little?

You'll likely use the same cooler on either side, so not worth mentioning, psu, same deal, you are u likely changing which psu you are looking at for either side.

Am5 doesn't have that much life left in it either, it's more, but, only one more gen probably and you are unlil3ly to upgrade from a Ryzen 9000 to whatever is next, but to AM6 realistically, so I don't really see that as an issue.

With that all said, AMD makes the better option, as I said.
