Any Suggestions For My New Intel PC Build?

Someone1111

Budget (including currency): $1750.00 CAD before tax (about 1413.00 USD) 

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: High performance on most mid-range games (Minecraft, Valorant, Risk of Rain 2, etc.)

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): 

Planning to build an Intel pc because a 3 year old laptop just isn't cutting it for my gaming preferences. I have the parts I'm wanting to use listed below. I already have a good monitor, mouse, and speakers as well as a 1TB HHD drive so they will not be included in the list. If anybody has any advise for improving price to performance on any of the following parts, I'm more than open to suggestions. 🙂

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K 3.7 GHz 10-Core Processor ($359.99)

CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240 56.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($135.99)

Motherboard: MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($415.35)

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory ($172.99)

Storage: Kingston A2000 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($84.99)

Case: Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case ($144.50)

PSU: SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($117.98)

Case Fans: ARCTIC P12 PST 56.3 CFM 120 mm Fans 5-Pack ($52.99)

 

The current total with the OS and everything is about $1600 CAD before tax

 

I have a GPU that I had salvaged from my cousin's PC. He says it should still work very well so I will not be buying a new one (at least until the prices drop down). I've linked the model below just for reference.

GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB Phoenix OC Video Card

 

Lastly, PC part picker is warning me that the cooler might need a mounting adapter for the motherboard, but I'm not sure how to check if that is the case or not.

 

Here is the complete list:

Some cost cutting and upgrades to ssd + psu

 

get windows off of a site like scdkey so you dont have to pay full price for some dumb liscense

 

Cheaper cooler as i dont expect any cpu overclocking

 

Cheaper ram cause you can just oc them

 

Cheaper board cause 400cad for a low end board with wifi is a ripoff
