Seeking Advice on a New Build - PC part sales

My existing rig is 13 years old and I've decided to have a new rig built for me. I've come to understand over the last few days that deciding on hardware is a lot more complex than it was 12 years ago and I need some advice but let me start by explaining what I want.
I'm not a gamer and from what I've been told for what I currently do on my PC, an Intel Core I3 would meet my needs. However, based on my experience with my current rig, if you exceed your needs now, the PC you'll build, will last as long as you don't have a hardware failure so I'm wanting my new rig to have a Core I5 instead. Since I want this rig to last I'm going to put a 13th generation Core I5 in it. I'm also planning on it having a Western Digital 1TB SSD in as well. With the above being stated this rig will probably be a once and done build with probably zero chance of it being upgraded down the road.
One question for starter is whether I should go with DDR5 memory or with DDR4? I was speaking to a tech today that said that for what he does, he can't tell the difference in speed between DDR4 and DDR5. Another person I've communicated with said that the price of DDR5 memory is low right now and that since this is a once and done build I might as well go with the faster RAM. With that in mind my local parts house seems to be geared toward DDR4 boards instead of DDR5 boards so if I were to choose DDR4 I would have a wider selection of boards.
Based on the direction of DDR4 vs. DDR5. I'm looking for a board that's not necessarily a high end gamer's board but I don't want a low end board so something in the middle would probably be best. Note that I'm certainly limited to any of the following boards but these are the boards my local parts house stocks. My problem is that I don't have a freaking clue if these are high end, low end or mid-tier boards but most of them are DDR4 boards instead of DDR5 boards. The store obviously likes Gigabyte boards with a couple of ASUS boards thrown in. Since this is a major purchase I'm trying to avoid a major screw up by not picking a decent board so any help and/or advice folks can offer will be appreciated.

Android TV Box KT-609

Hello there ya'll.
Last year I purchased an Android TV Box KT-609 from Vision Electronics here in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. IMO, it's been a great box to me. It's nothing fancy, with very little bells and whistles but it does the job. I have been doing some research though on how to upgrade this box's firmware or even upgrade the KitKat 4.4.4 to Lollipop 5.1 OS system. Sadly I've been unsuccessful as this box may not be very popular. Below is a picture of the box and the link. I'll also share the information from the Visions website as I can't seem to find a manufacturer's website. If anyone out there knows which manufacture this is and their website address, it would be more than greatly appreciated. Even a link on how to upgrade OS. I look forward to being a part of this community.
Glock.
P.S. Because I'm a new user, it won't allow me to post a link to Visions Electronics so... it's Visions dot ca and search Android TV box KT-609
I can't even post a picture yet either so.... maybe a MOD can be kind and enter a link and or picture on my behalf until I earn my stripes. Thanks.

Seems like my advice and others like me has been heard. Thanks to Jide for being responsive.
I have pledge remix io+ but please guys let us ask Jide to include a microphone in the controller so that we can do voice search over YouTube and use Google now voice search. I sent them an email asking this. Please guys send an email too. This is a function that needs to be implemented. Put a microphone in the controller like nvidia shield

With a May 2017 (estimated) ship date, and given Jide's record with the Ultratablet, does this mean that early adopters can expect support to end December 2017?
I'm not trying to throw mud at Jide but seriously, the way they seem to have screwed over ultratab early adopters is pitiful.
Hopefully if we choose to become Kickstarter supporters for the IO+, we won't get End-Of-Life status 6 months later.
I have heard that there were lots of issues with the SoC..
project has been stopped
this is no longer an active project as Jide Tech has abandon its dream to be one of the leading android TV/PC, however you can try Matricom Gbox they have been at it for years and the are back once again to lead the way.

KB KB-T900 from Amazon?

I recently purchased this tablet from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS52XC5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has Android 5.1 and would like to find out if it can be upgraded. I think the tablet is made by Kubi and is model number KB-T900, but I could be wrong and probably am. If anyone has any suggestions for how to upgrade, root or otherwise improve the device, I would appreciate the help.

I'm looking at recent one on Amazon as well. 10" Kubi, 4gb RAM, 64GB ROM, Android 7.0....
Says upgrades are downloadable. I also see its an MTK chipset so you can use the SPFlash Tool, which is just like Odin for Samsungs....
Have you ever found root?
Awesome specs for $125 !!!!!!!

No, I never did and, after a month or two, the device stopped working properly. I have yet to determine if it is the digitizer that’s gone bad or something causing the OS to run slow. I pretty much gave up on it after getting no answers to my question.

root methoed for my bargain

Hi I recently went to Argos shopping for a new device as my nexus 5 was broke beyond repair, and I came across the Bush spiral d5 dual cam on sale for £59.99 and the specs it has got is a bargain 4g quad core at 1.3 GHz 2gb ram 16gb internal storage nougat 7.0 720p 5inch screen dual rear camera set up fingerprint sensor and USB type-c. And when I have searched the net it is actually a archos sense 50 DC just Argos just changed its name so I'm WO during if there's any root method or a custom recovery for this type of device
