I recently swapped my AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D for an Intel i5-14600K, which required getting a new motherboard as well. I'm a bit anxious about whether everything looks good in my setup since I already have my storage sorted out. I'm just worried I might have messed something up without realizing it. Here's a link to my build for reference: [PCPartPicker List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9c7PGJ). Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, I'm not sure why you went with that motherboard. It’s one of the weaker options out there.
Your motherboard isn't the best choice; it's quite low-end. While it might work okay if you have good airflow in your case, I'd suggest considering an upgrade for better performance and reliability. Also, why did you decide to switch from the 5700X3D?
Yeah, that motherboard has some significant limitations. You might want to keep an eye on temperatures!
I chose the 5700X3D for $270 but found the i5 was performing better at $200. I had no clue about the quality tiers of motherboards!
