Btw, with regards to the specs you posted, may I ask the advantage of going with Intel over AMD?
My reasoning for going with AMD was because intel's latest gen runs hot and I thought I would have better compatibility with all AMD build with regards to the Resizable BAR support and stuff (not sure on this).

For my knowledge, if your use case is specifically for gaming, then Intel + Nvidia is the way to go. The 13th Gen is pretty good for now, and about temperature, the 13600K or 13700K don't run as hot as their big brother (13900K). Dual tower CPU Cooler is enough for it, unless you are OC-ing the CPU.

No, no OC, so might go with the non K (if it's much cheaper in my region).
My current setup is Intel + nVidia so I am a bit partial to this... Thanks for the recommendation and proposing a set of compatible parts!

It's nice to be able to tweak it a little, so the "K" would be better for my opinion, it gives you flexibility to play with the CPU (if you know what i meant).
I'm planning to build a PC too, my AMD Ryzen 5 2400G already screaming to be upgraded. I may choose the Intel 13400F or 13500, as i just use it for light gaming (Skyrim + mods).
