  1. Parts list for $1000 without a GPU with an option to use the integrated GPU until you can buy a good GPU for $550 PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jkYmVc CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K 3.7 GHz 10-Core Processor ($299.99 @ B&H) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition 42 CFM CPU Cooler ($37.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z690-P D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($219.99 @ B&H) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory ($139.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($124.39 @ Amazon) Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case ($94.18 @ Newegg) Power Supply: SeaSonic PRIME TX 750 W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($104.99 @ Newegg) Total: $1021.52 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2021-12-07 14:46 EST-0500 Some of these things are mostly preference and aesthetic choices, such as the cooler, case, and motherboard. You should be able to play some stuff off the 11600k's Igpu, but the system would be MUCH better with a gpu.
  2. Silly idea: see how many average gpu's you can run and game on at the same time off 1 CPU and motherboard (probably threadripper because it has a lot of cores and PCIE lanes so you could get tons going) using mining GPU splitter cards and risers. WIth a 64 core threadripper, could you run 64 (or 32 more realistically) VM's each with their own gpu and game on all of them) ? This would sort of be 8 gamers 1 cpu, but way cooler! I would not be surprised if there are other limitations stopping this, but even 16 gamers would be very cool!
  3. I was an idiot and bought a NZXT kraken m22 for my system (10700k). It failed (pump died, cpu running at 115c) and I am returning it, but I don't want to put a new M22 in my system because I don't want to kill my CPU when it inevitably fails, so I plan to sell the replacement I am sent on eBay. For me, aesthetics are important to me and overclocking is not (as long as the temps are good, they don't need to be 40c max load or anything like that), and I really liked how my M22 looked in my system, so I want to get a NZXT kraken x53 (on sale for $99 now) to replace it. However, I worry about the reliability about that also, even though it is an Asatec design and should be more reliable then the bad M22 pump in rad design. Do you think the X53 is a good option, or if not, what else would you recommend, air or water? I have a H510i and use NZXT CAM, so I would prefer to use something that works with that.
  4. Buy a b360 board with a 10700k (My friend almost did this, but I stopped him). He ended up getting a Aorus Pro B460 (even though I told him that it was terrible value and he should get a z490)
  5. 5-700 You could start at $700 and decrease the price if there are no takers. You might also want to consider parting out the gpu.
  6. I think both would OC just fine. The msi one might be better, though. With what you are spending, you could get a x570 gaming edge, which would be a better board. Any of them would handle a 5000 series just fine (maybe not an oced 5950x though). Just choose whatever one you like best based on your needs. I would get the refurbished x570, but no option is bad.
  7. I should probably specify that I want your primary/desktop CPU.
  8. You might want an 11600 because it has a better IGPU. If you have a way to get the 2070 super, then it doesn't matter.
  9. Maybe your drive is not formatted correctly, or you have a broken USB port. You might want to try remaking the install media or trying a new flash drive. You can try a BIOS update, but you will need a USB stick working to do that. Good luck!
  10. Like others said 1050 1050ti 1030 970 960 4gb 750 ti 1650 super if you can find one rx 5500xt if you can find one rx 570 4gb 560 550 480 4gb 470 460. All are good used options at the right price.
  11. A 3970x should NEVER be paired with a 1660s. That is a $1800 cpu. Also, it is bad value unless you need all of the cores. I am just kidding, I know you aren't talking about a threadripper.
  12. Why ddr4-4000 RAM? The infinity fabric clock will make it almost impossible to get those speeds anyway. Gett a 3600 speed kt. With the money you save, you can get a 5600x, which is a much better CPU.
  13. Decription: Great gaming computer, intel core i7 cpu, 8 gigs of ram running at ?, amd radion rx 550 graphics card with 4 gb of vram, 1 tb ssd with 500 gb hdd. this pc will play just about any game i have thrown at it (What? Stardew valley?). if you have questions feel free to ask. Note I'll let u test it before u buy it. $300 Looking at this for a friend and thought it was a bit funny.
  14. Why would you get a 9600k? A 11400 would be cheaper and better value if you're not overclocking. Here is a revised parts list. Also, I DO NOT recommend paying 650 for a 1660 super, but if you must build the system now, it will work. I assume you plan on a gpu upgrade. otherwise there is no reason to get a 750 watt psu for this. A 600 watt would be fine.
