Compatibility and related parts

The i5-13400F uses the FCLGA1700 socket, so pick one of our LGA1700 motherboards and check whether that board takes DDR4 or DDR5 before choosing memory (RAM); the CPU supports up to DDR5 4800 MT/s or DDR4 3200 MT/s. Plan for a graphics card too, since it has no integrated graphics, and consider one of our CPU coolers for its 148 W Maximum Turbo Power. Our PC builder checks compatibility for you, and parts bought as part of a PC build get free assembly and testing.
