Thanks @Colif I'm downloading the drivers now! I created the Win11 installer a few days ago, so it should be the latest version? Anyway as long as I fix this with those drivers, it's fine. Thanks again

Hi guys so, I've just finished building my new pc, but when it came to install Windows 11, it asked me for internet connection, without the possibility to skip. Anyway, I found a workoround on internet and could finish the installation. But then, I realised that the wifi wasn't even "visible"...

Thanks @Brian Boru but I guess I will go for the MSI PRO Z790-P, I don't really want to see any more options now! :tearsofjoy:

THANKS!

Oh no, now the power supply that I had in the list is out of stock! https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/jtm323/corsair-rm-2019-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020196-na Can you please recommend an alternative, @Why_Me ? I put here the full list again, just as a...

Ok I think I'll go with the MSI PRO Z790-P, then. Thanks again @Why_Me for the great help and support! Extremely appreciated.

this is the SSD I'll be buying: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/7nXJ7P/crucial-p5-plus-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-ct1000p5pssd8 And I will only buy one (maybe going for the 2TB, just to be safe).

Wow, now that's too many choices! Now I am even more confused ahahaha To be honest I don't know how to chose. Can you please just tell me which one you think it's the best among those and I'll buy that? Thanks!

ok so I think that should do it, right? I get that tomawak motherboard and I update the bios to make sure I won't have problems with the processor. Unless you have a better option to suggest, @Why_Me ? Sorry if I keep relying on you, hopefully I won't be bothering you again once this is settled!

oh no, now it says it is incompatible with the processor, need to find a substitution then. Or maybe I can get away with it just by upgrading the bios: "The MSI MAG Z690 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard supports the Intel Core i5-13600K 3.5 GHz 14-Core Processor with BIOS version 7D32vH7...

ok, so I found this one... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/nk8bt6/msi-mag-z690-tomahawk-wifi-atx-lga1700-motherboard-mag-z690-tomahawk-wifi What do you think? Is that at the same level of performance as the other one?

Sorry I don't understand. This is the one without wifi and bluetooth. While the other one has wifi (not sure about bluetooth?) but it says DDR4. Am I missing something?

Yes that's basically the same model but the wifi version, but I see it says "DDR4", so does that mean I cannot use the DDR5 I was planning to buy? Is there something that can allow me to use everything else I have in the list? As I suppose DDR4 are inferior than DDR5?

Thanks @Why_Me for confirming this! I was recomended this motherboard but only onw I had a proper look. I need something with built in wifi and bluetooth (I don't have ethernet cable available in the place where the pc will be, so it must be wireless). Do you have a recommendation for something...

Ok, gettin close... but one last question! I am just double checking every bit to make sure, and looking at the motherboard: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00066HEV6?tag=pcp0f-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 "MSI PRO Z690" I might be wrong, but it looks like it doesn't have wifi and bluetooth...
