Honestly should look at the 7800x3d it’s a killer cpu especially paid with the 7900 xt

performance outside of gaming isnt as good as either the i7 or r9

What’s your use case
If your doing a little coding or a little video editing on the side then get the 7800x3d
If your barely gaming get 13600k or 13700k with ddr5

Asus is usually insanely expensive
If you live near a microcenter check top right

Do you need wifi?
Also for ram I believe DDR5-6000 CL30 is the best (for amd) not sure if that’s also the case for intel though
