I found a cool PC build I like, but it's using DDR4 memory. I'm looking to switch to DDR5 instead. Here are the specs:
- Processor: Intel Core i5-13400F (10 cores, 16 threads)
- Graphics Card: Palit GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Infinity 3 16GB
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE B760M DS3H (DDR4 RAM)
- RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32GB (2x16, 3200MHz)
- CPU Cooler: JONSBO CR-1000 MAX Color Power
- Power Supply: 1STPLAYER ACK SILVER, 750W, 80+ Silver
- Case: 1STPLAYER MEGAVIEW MV5-TP ARGB
- Case Fans: 1STPLAYER FC(AP)-WH-1IN1 Black (7 pcs.)
- SSD M2: Kingston NV3 1TB (6000 MB/sec)
The whole setup costs around 85k. What do I need to change to switch from DDR4 to DDR5?

You'll need a motherboard that supports LGA1700, which can work with both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM. Just remember, DDR4 is still pretty good for most gamers. By the way, what's the total cost for this build?
You'll need a new motherboard to support DDR5, as they require different slots than DDR4. But honestly, don't stress too much about it—DDR4 is still pretty capable and won't hold you back significantly in most scenarios.
If you really like this build and the price is right, just go for it! DDR4 is still a solid option and shouldn't cause major issues for gaming or general use.
It costs about 85k.
