The h510 would not be my choice of case.

 

Intel i5-12600k is a much better gaming cpu.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

You should go for 12600K instead.

But I'll add few things.

H510 us really worst case u can get, BC it don't really have place to put AIO 😄 

This build includes much better CPU, Also AIO that supports LGA1700

Faster RAM

Better SSD with Dram

Better case 

And adequate PSU

And u should definitely check 6600XT

I agree with the guys before, the 12600K is the better choice. Also the H510 is horrible for airflow, that thing will be a oven. So here is an optimized list, more towards pure performance and airflow:

CPU: the fastest gaming CPU right now, the 12600K is a great gaming CPU and I would always aim for it, if it is available.

Cooler: Intel 12th gen is hot, so a good AIO will keep you safe and also it has RGB!

Motherboard: Well, the cheapest Z690 board, DDR4 Compatible because DDR5 is great, but not yet real benefits. Also Price/performance wise it's not worth it.

Memory: Just a cheap 16GB 2x8 kit from a known brand.

Storage: So I went with a gen4 SSD here, mainly because the budget allowes it and its compatible to direct storage, which means better gaming performance in the future.

Video Card: yeah, thats a though nut, so the 3060ti is great and all, but the 6600XT is usually easier to get. If you have the budget, go for the 6700XT tho, it outperforms the 3060TI and is close in some games to the 3070. But if it's out of reach pricewise, then aim at the better value card, in most cases thats the 6600XT.

Case: If you like the H510 or NZXT vibe, then this case comes pretty close, it has actual airflow and it is easy to build in, just a solid case!

PSU: just a good 750w unit should be enough to power it.

In general, you could save a few bucks by going to a gen3 SSD, it wont hurt Performance now and Gen4 is only useful for direct storage, so yeah, might be a good move.

But that's what I would go for in your situation.

remove the GPU price, and get the windows 10 disc from one of those places for like $10, then it's ~$1k, and will likely perform at least 30% better

is nzxts new h510 with front mesh good?

Nope, not really. Especially for the amount of money it costs. So the H510 is 70 bucks, not a good case but a good price. The H510 Flow is 120 bucks. But it has no improvements, rather then less material at the front. It should be less by that logic, but its way more. For 120 bucks you can get a meshify 2 compact, a Lianli O11 mini or something cooler. No need for that NZXT case, that also doesnt have great air flow performance.
