Building my new PC

[risins]

Greetings, I made my last build back in 2013, and for me it`s hard to understand what is good, bad or overpriced now wanted to ask your opinions and help to configure my build. I will specs of part list I was initially planning to buy

Budget (including currency): 1500 euros, including new screen

Country: Latvia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: For gaming, such as RDR2, GTAV, CoD, BF and some racing games. Other programs I use daily are Blender, Photoshop and Unity.

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): 

 

So part lists:
CPU: Intel Core i5-10600K
GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 3060, 12GB GDDR6, TUF Gaming OC V2 (LHR)

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V, DDR4, 16GB, 3200MHz, CL16, Kit of 2
MB: MSI H510M-A PRO
SSD: Kingston NV1, 1TB, M.2 2280
PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 V2, 750W, 80PLUS Gold
CASE: iBOX Passion V5
Screen: Samsung F27T350FHR, 27"
CPU Cooler: ?
Any other fans: ?

 

! Also new motherboard should be with Wi-Fi option or option to add Wi-Fi adapter

 

My current rig stats:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770s
GPU: ASUS Nvidia Geforce 760Ti 2GB

RAM: DDR3 KINGSTON HYPERX FURY BLUE 8GB (2X4GB) 1600MHZ CL10
MB: Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3
SSD: Kingston SH103S3/120G HyperX 3K 120GB

HDD: WD Blue 1TB
CASE: some random

Screen: HP LP2275w

 

Thanks anyone who will give some advice what to change and get rid of

The setup looks solid, just make sure that you get you add a decent HDD so that you can have some slower, yet much more obtainable storage.
2TB drives go for about 50USD, so they're pretty worthwhile to pick up and use for something like games.

Also check with the PSU tier list in my signature to get a decent power supply.
I personally only buy things within a B rating or higher. I am not sure what the Coolermaster MWE 750W is, but it might be worthwhile to check and see if it's any good.

Thank you for reply! I had plan to use that WD Blue HDD, because after buying it isn`t even plugged in my old rig. 

? Also RTX3060 or better RTX3060Ti one, don`t see any huge difference in them..

1440p+ - 3060ti
1080p - 3060

I'd look for at least a B460 board instead. I don't think these boards can handle a k series CPU. Alternatively, you could go with a 10400F instead. Some options:

ASRock B560M Steel Legend

MSI MAG B560M BAZOOKA

MSI MAG B460M BAZOOKA

I would go with an NVME with dram instead. Some you can look into:

Silicon Power P34A80

ADATA XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro

Mushkin Pilot-E

Western Digital SN750

 

Prices are in Canadian, so check in your area for the prices. Your current build would still work though, the CPU might not be able to hit it's rated boost clock though.

You could go with a Noctua NH-U12S, Scythe Mugen 5, or Be quiet! Pure Rock 2

If they're not a big price difference, I would go with 3060TI

H series board and K series CPU? Big no here

Get B series board and CPU without K in the end. Have a look at I5-11400F, Because it's priced lower than 10600K where i checked it.

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V, DDR4, 16GB, 3200MHz, CL16, Kit of 2

Does kit of 2 mean you are buying 32GB? if yes, forget it, you can't possible make use of more than 16GB in this system. Only 16 GB is absolutely enough.

3060ti will be better option if it's not costs too high. Also, Have a look at 6600XT, If it's priced around same as 3060, Buy 6600XT.

Get a case with front mesh panel, Not glass.

Thanks for correcting about motherboard.. I really don`t know anymore what fits with what. I`m glad that I finally posted here than buying without knowing anything

About ram kit of 2 is 2x8GB = 16GB. 
I5-11400F is sold out here, but will take a look.  Edit: only available i5-11400, -11500 and -11600  without F series

About GPU, Ti version here is about 100e more than 3060 itself. 

Thank you everyone, will try to make new shopping list and will post if anything will be unavailable.

This is unrelated but was that a typo or did Asus actually release their own 760ti out in Europe?

As far as I was aware the only 760ti’s were oem cards for Alienware.

No typo, got this 760ti about 5 years ago from local computer part store as demo card.

If 11400 or 11500 is available for same price as 10600K, get one of those two, Or try finding 10600 or 10600F for cheaper than 10600K, Because K series CPU is meant for overclocking and they are usually priced higher than non K CPUs, While having same performance, But you can't overcklock unless U buy Z series motherboard, That is out of budget and not worth it.

So, 10600/10600F, 11400/11400F, 11500/11500F get whichever is cheaper put of this three.

For motherboard, Give me list what B460 and B560 motherboards are available and prices and I'll tell which to buy.

Here is updated list of parts that I`m thinking of buy

CPU: Intel Core i5-11400 (6C/12T, 2.60 GHz, 12MB Cahe, LGA1200, 65W)
GPU: Asus GeForce RTX 3060, 12GB GDDR6, TUF Gaming OC V2 (LHR)
MB: MSI B560M PRO-E
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black, DDR4, 16GB, 3200MHz, CL16, Kit of 2
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 Black, CPU Cooler

Looking for any PSU , CASE (i want it as compact as possible) and extra cooler options

I already have HDD and SSD. I don`t have much choice for MB and RAMs so it was best that I could find. Your opinions?

I think it should be okay for a 11400, but it doesn't leave much room to upgrade to better CPU in the future. Also, limited to 2 ram slots, so you would have to replace your current kit if you want more ram in the future. What other options do you have in your market? It's hard to recommend without knowing what you have available.

 

Ram is good, not complaints. Also good CPU cooler choice.

there are a few options - although don`t know which is better or not. Here is link with filtred motherboards for LGA1200 and B series - https://www.dateks.lv/cenas/sistemplates-intel-procesoriem/filt/77932-78913-82512/ord/n

This is the minimum I would go with. It should be good for 11400 and 11700 with some power limits set.

Gigabyte B560M DS3H

 

If you can afford it though, I would go with this:

MSI MAG B560M BAZOOKA

 

Has much better vrm's with heat sinks too keep it cooler. It also has nicer features and looks better imo. It also seems to be able to handle the 11900K, but I don't think this is important for your case. Anything above the bazooka is also plenty for the 11400, but mostly unnecessary

Thank you! Looks like that I will finally order my new PC, thanks everyone for helping out!
