New Build Suggestions afte Watching "Maybe Building Your Own PC is a BAD Idea"

[Monte319]

Budget (including currency): ~$1300

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: ETA for now.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

 

This will be my 2nd full build from scratch after upgrading my current system for the last time. I am currently waiting on a 3060 TI, so I might have one in hand by 2022. I the mean time I will be using the graphics available with the Intel CPU.

My current idea of list of parts minus a GPU can be found at PCPARKPICKER.    https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Monte319/saved/#view=LFsgBm

 

I posted on PcMech before coming here and got some great help from GLC. Below is beginning to final product I hope to build in the near future. Since I am not in a huge hurry, I will be watching prices/sales to get the most for the least price.

Thoughts?

You're spending $610 on your CPU mobo and cooler for intel when you can get a lot more CPU performance for $10 more. I would personally never pair an i5 with a $240 motherboard and $110 cooler. 

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor  ($421.05 @ Amazon) 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S redux 70.75 CFM CPU Cooler  ($49.95 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($149.94 @ Amazon) 
Total: $620.94

Will not work, as AMD has no integrated graphics. unless you plan on using your pc without video signal, Intel is the only option for new builds if you don’t have a gpu, unless u get a g-series AMD processor, which are quite expensive and only max out at 4 cores.

OP doesn't have a GPU, so they need the iGPU. Don't know if that's the only reason for going Intel, but they did specifically mention it as one.

I was just about to ask "Does the AMD chip have integrated graphics?"

well most amd processors have no integrated processors because they assume you will buy a dedicated gpu for maximum gaming perfomance, and to pack more cores etc. 

[Monte319]

I am also going Intel becuase right now from what I have read, the i5-11600K Rocket Lake is the best bang for your bust when it comes to gaming.

Sorry, I completely missed that part. Yea it doesn't. You can swap it for the 11700k instead with a more affordable mobo and cooler or just grab an older GPU off ebay until you're able to get something better.

Thoughts?

 

Thanks,

I would recommend getting RAM with a lower clock speed (3200 or 3000) as memory that fast is unnecessary with intel, and instead spend that extra money on RAM with a better cas-latency (CL)

Any suggestion? Crucial, Gskill, Corsair, etc?

Thoughts on these changes to my build.

Also should I use my GTX 660 and work on an AMD build until I get a 3060ti?
