Gaming system upgrade

[driftwood]

Are there still people out there who use PC gaming systems?
I built up my current one about 8 years ago and it's still going strong.
I am now considering an upgrade.
I haven't kept up with the technology during that time.
To avoid doing a heap of research I thought I would cheat and ask for advice on here.
The system will be Intel and have the ability to run a 32'' 4k monitor at up to 100 frames.
I am happy with my current case and cooling system, so I'm looking for recommendations for motherboard, memory, CPU.
I can work out the other bits myself.
In the past I have found the motherboard to be the hardest choice. 

Thanks

Too late to answer now ? Why intel, for gaming AMD is better for the price, runs cooler, uses less power, and is very stable. Intel has had issues with the 13th and 14th gen CPUs that make me a bit wary.

That said any i7 from 12th gen onwards or any ryzen 7 7xxx or 9xxx will game very well. The intel chips have a productivity edge but gaming wise there's not much in it.

i9 and ryzen 9 are total overkill for gaming and not worth it IMHO.
Motherboard - Asus, Gigbyte, MSI - compatible socket, however many M'2 slots you want, can't really go wrong as long as you match the socket to the CPU
RAM - 32GB DDR5 6000 or similar, 16GB is still enough but barely and it's starting to not be with the latest titles.

I just built mine, ryzen 7700X (2nd hand due to budget) Asus B650M-E, Gskill DDR5 6000, had some issues but fingers crossed all sorted now. I game at 1440P 32" 120fps mostly.

Edit: get RAM that's on the motherboard QVL support list from their website if possible. I copy paste the part numbers into PBtechs search function myself.

Thanks Dugi

No, not too late, haven't gone ahead with that.
Although I have upgraded to a RTX 4070 Super.

Yes, AMD is an option, and I have had them in the past.
I've now gotten used to Intel and are more familiar with the compatibility of components.

Either way I can't justify the cost, especially having to buy a new 4K monitor as well.
I shouted myself a Moza Truck Wheel bundle for Xmas which I felt guilty about.
