Newegg has a great price on a the Intel 14600k CPU, 32GB DDR4 3600mhz RAM, and Asus mATX motherboard for $284 after promo and combo discounts. The CPU also qualifies for Battle Field 6 intel game bundle promotion.
It is a budget DDR4 mATX motherboard but still has most of the features for a budget build like Wifi 6, two M.2 slots, and aRGB headers. The big miss is the lack of usb C ports.
It shouldn't need a BIOS update to run the 14600k. Asus's website shows that all version of its BIOS supports the 14600k.
I don't think you can get any faster for less than $300.

Also, I made a 12th gen set up and it is a beast!
I wanted long term compatibility which is not found in AMD.
Yes, gaming performance is not the best but I don't game all the time and I can't notice the difference anyway. I'll save some money for a good graphics card instead.
