Will this rig work?

[Nesquikk]

Budget (including currency): 2k-2.5k AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Random gaming & just a good PC to last for a long time

 

Hey guys, my current rig is dying and I think I've put together a pretty solid replacement for it, however there's 1 or 2 things I'm not too sure of as I'm pretty new to PC building.

 

What I want to get

CPU: Intel i5-10600KA                                                                
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake TH240 AIO                                                     
Thermal paste: Cooler Master HTK-002                                             
Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z490-A                                                     
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB                                   
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti                                                        
SSD: Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280                 
HDD: (Re-use current one)
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid-Tower       
PSU: Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply         

 

I'm pretty confident that all the components will work, however I'm unsure about the PSU. The wattage is fine, but how can I be sure that it has the correct connectors / pins for all my parts? Also, can anyone recommend a good PSU that will have all the right connections?

Also, I know it needs to be an ATX psu, but what does modular mean? Does it matter?

Thank you

That build looks good.

Modular means that the cables don't come permanently attached, instead, you only connect the ones you need to avoid cable clutter.

PSU connectors are standardised, that's why it's called ATX. I'd change the AIO though, have heard a couple more stories than I'd like about it.

ohhhh okay, so a modular psu should have all the connectors I need?

right, what would you recommend instead? I've been told by mates that an AIO cooler is better than air & I don't want a full liquid cooled CPU

The issues I heard of where not totally bad, just comments about it looking cheap and not great, however as far as AIO's go it's not the best but I haven't heard of it leaking or failing more than any other AIO.

also i dont think you are going to need 32gigs of ram.. 16gigs should be more than enough..(what are you going to do with it?)

[YourRandomForumGuy]

16gigs should serve you just fine at a decent speed and timings like 3200 cl16

That is a very underpowered build with such a large budget. Here is what I suggest.

This will easily outperform your parts list and will be a hell of a lot faster.

PS you can remove the HDD and add your own.
