Nice timing. Microcenter is running some good mobo/CPU bundles right now. This is what I would build:

ASUS Z690-PLUS TUF Gaming WiFi DDR5 and Intel Core i9-12900K combo
$509 ($189 savings): https://www.microcenter.com/product/...herboard-combo

G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL36
$150: https://www.microcenter.com/product/...-TZ5RK_-_Black

You could also go with an i7 instead of an i9 and save $170 off the mobo/CPU bundle. If you're mostly just gaming, you don't necessarily need the extra cores.

If you don't currently have NVME storage, this would be a great time to include that as well. The speed improvement even over old SSD drives is so impressive.
