Suffer not the abominable intelligence

I've been following the flowcharts, and I don't mind giving requiem a go. I am wondering what exactly the difference is between regular requiem and the ones that uses Noxcrab's mods. Do they make Requiem easier or harder?

Hi all,

After upgrading my GPU from an 3080 to a 5070ti I am looking to upgrade my CPU next. I am currently rocking an i5-12600K and I am thinking it's becoming a bottleneck for what I do with my pc (pretty extensive gaming, workstation). I know Intel is flat on its arse right now in its CPU development and I am looking to make the AMD switch for the first time.

My go-to online store sells these upgrade kits of mobo + ram + cpu and they currently got a mix of an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D, Gigabyte X870 AORUS elite and a Corsair DDR5 vengeance 32 GB, CL 30 for 1187 euros. That sounds like a good deal, but I am willing to splurge a little bit extra on a better mobo. The CPU also seems a bit overkill for what I do and I am looking for the 7800X3D as an alternative.

So my questions:

1. Is this mobo good for the CPU I'm getting and is there a potential upgrade on a more premium model?
2. Is the 9800X3D the go-to for my use profile or can I get away with the 7800X3D as well?
3. I heard in the past that christmas builds could cause issues, is that still a thing or can I safely rock the AMD CPU + Nvidia GPU combo?
