Getting ready to buy a new PC. I've waited for the Intel Alder Lake 10nm Intel CPUs and DDR5-4800 support to come out. Now that it's been out a while I've tried configuring a PC and ideally want 128 GB RAM, but can't get it. When will 128 GB RAM become available? So far you can only buy 32 GB or 64 GB RAM.
Also, I'm going for a Gigabyte motherboard this time around - because it appears they put the CMOS battery in an easily accessible place at the bottom. ASUS stupidly put them in the middle underneath the graphics card meaning you have handle and remove sensitive / expensive components just to replace a battery. Had to buy a ton of anti-static gear just to replace a battery. Never Again.
I'm looking at the Coolermaster Mastercase H500M and the PCS frostflow 200 cpu cooler, which I think will fit? Never had liquid cooling as I don't trust it for the potential of leaks. Also I will probably go with 2 extra case fan option, which might be fitted at the top of the case?
