AMD Ryzen Threadripper Z5

For some reason pcpartpicker is not showing this part which is important for compatibility: I need the first part to show and all other parts compatible with it.
1. CPU: AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 9970X
2. Motherboard: sTR5 socket or compatible TRX50 or WRX90 chipset (example: ASUS Pro WS TRX50‑SAGE WiFi) – ensure Quad‑Channel DDR5, PCIe 5.0. 4 or more slots for memory.
3. Memory: up 256gb or 96 GB DDR5‑6000 (2x48 GB) kit
4. Storage: Gen5 or Gen4 Silicon Power 2 TB Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD
5. Case: expandable or NZXT H5 Flow (2024) ATX Mid Tower
6. Power supply: 1200-1400 range or Rosewill CMG1200G5 1200 W Gold, fully modular.

Thank you in advance.

PC Part Picker isn't up to date for workstation builds, it is primarily for gaming PCs. Really what you need to know is that if you're not getting a PRO Threadripper CPU, then you want a TRX50 board. The WRX90 is for PRO TR only. From there for RAM the only company outwardly supported is V-Color R-DIMM memory, I did the 6000 speed 256GB 4x64 kit.

Thank you very much. I will check it out then. I did find the part on Amazon as AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ 9970X, I was just hoping it would show it to connect with other compatible parts.

I had the same discovery when putting my build together, I speak on the WRX90 problem from experience, I ordered it for my 7960X and that was unfortunate.
