If not mistaken that is still SATA in M2 format so ur choices are limited.

PS. Those NVME M2 drives recommended above might not work for ur mobo, some M2 those generation are SATA only or dual type, pls check ur manual to confirm.

Crap mobo but then ur pairing with an i3 so they should do fine together. The issue is will you then be CPU bound as its only 4cores+HT. Need to check ur AI usage will it use lotsa CPU threads or not. Otherwise a 12400 or 12600K might make more sense.

Also will 16GB RAM be sufficient? A lot of productivity programs do scale well with at least 32GB.

The NV2 SSD... erm many here would critic but if ur on a tight budget where Rm50 makes a difference, then it will do fine.

For normal use & casual gaming plus lotsa reusing of hardware tells me OP is budget limited so pointless to reco him expensive AM5.

Better just get

5800X3D,
any B550 mobo,
any 8GBx2 3600MHZ DDR4,
RX6700XT/6750XT (the extra VRAM will benefit for use in 2K)

Modern or not it is a matter of affordability. AM5 is expensive. And DDR5 5200 is pisspoor speeds. To future proof a DDR5 system you'd need at least 6400MHZ or higher so that you can still use the same RAMs while not crippling a future RAM upgrade.

Unless ur OCing or have specific applications, RAM is something you don't feel much difference with higher speeds. Ur programs generally don't open faster when going DDR3 to DDR5.

Right now DDR5 tech is expensive and speeds are still in the infancy. Unless ur got money, no point to buy now.

I'd also reckon this build but instead topup to RX6700XT/6750XT (about RM 1.8~2k), since you have a 2K monitor why waste its capabilities sticking to 1080.

Bro where you can get PA120 for RM99? I want 1 bijik.

5200MHZ crap speed no better than DDR4 3600. Try 6400MHZ and above if really want to future proof.

Then futureproof for AM5 is crap if only limited to 6000MHZ DDR5.

Intel 1700 is more futureproofed then. Same socket til Raptor refresh, but able to take in up to DDR5 7200, able to update RAM years later on. AM5 will need a new mobo & new CPU family to effectively use the same speed that Intel can use now. Where is this futureproof BS then.

Let me tweak it a bit from TristanXs
Core i7-13700
Use Intel Box Cooler (yes you will need to run at default which will drop PL2 to 65W but office nonGraphic heavy use is ok)
MSI B760M-A Pro Wifi - 779
Corsair Vengeance 4x 16GB DDR4-3200 kit (getting to 3200 will give better compatibility with XMP but if faced instability, drop it to 3000/2933)
Transcend MTE220 1TB <300
Adata Core Reactor 650W - 405
Any standard airflow case - <200

I think it will be sub RM4k.

I agree that GPU will be too stretch ur budget, a decent one will about RM 1500-2000 nowadays. Nearly half ur budget gone so how to get the rest?

I advice build first then use the onboard iGPU to try see if it suits ur usage. If not then later add Quadro or RTX Aseries workstation GPU. These if you get used 2ndhand oso shd be no problem as they werent popular with miners, so most would have came from office workstations too.

Gaming RTX might work in certain cases but I dont know ur building software enuff to know how compatible these are. To be safe use work focused GPUs. That meant staying away from Radeons too.

Budget 7K for the latest gaming CPU that's just been released? Very hard.

If you could bump up budget to 8k, then use TristanX recommend to AthrunIJ but swap out that 3090 GPU for a 3060Ti/3070 for around ur balance RM2k. If purely gaming I'd say RX6700XT/6750XT/6800 but since you work on it as well, no Radeons.

7k is a lot of money to spend so why stick to older and obsoleted platform? Topup 1k more and get 7800X3D but you will need to compromise a bit on the GPU side, still a 6700XT/6750XT should suit ur needs for games but I will still advice go for 3060Ti/3070 if it involves working.

There is very little room to upgrade an obsoleted system. I doubt AMD will come out any new CPU for AM4 anymore.

Am not saying is bad, but for the price one is paying (RM7k) it is just too much money to put into a dated system with no more upgrade path. This unlike 1700 with RPL refresh still to come.

IMHO if paying 7-9k, its better to get a DDR5 system; either Intel or AMD.

Stay away from used RX500series or even 'new' ones from brands like AFox, MLLSE, 51RISC, CORN, etc. Most likely exminer or remade from miner GPU parts.

As long as it goes 4-5 FPS higher than 7800x3d they regain the Epeen crown. Thats all that matter.

Last gen CPU & mobo. But at those prices I guess its okayish. The SSD if below Rm250 is okay but if closer to Rm280-300, there are better ones even DRAMless with much higher speeds. The PSU is a sus, topup RM 5k and get a better unit.

As usual, prebuilds will have compromises and this unit in no exception.

RTX ka? Closest to VRAM & maybe pricing(?) is RTX2080Ti, most likely used ones by now. Yes it is way back this gen. 3060 12GB has the VRAM count but not the GPU muscle to use all of it.

In USA, EU, Australia markets the 6700xt is selling slightly under 3060 nonTi prices. AMD Msia is smoking strong weed.
