12900K+6900XT ITX Gaming Build

Budget (including currency): 3000 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming at 1440p 240hz on Ultra. BF 2042, BFV, COD Vanguard, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, FH5, Star Wars BF II, Witcher 3, Halo Infinite, Lots more game pass games.

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 is my list so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mZQb4d. I dont think a gen 4 ssd is worth it since im just gaming but i dont know if that ssd is any good for gen 3. The list is a tiny bit over budget but honestly as long as its 50 dollars within. I also want to know if the 280mm rad and the 2 fans are enough to cool the 12900k and the 6900xt in such a small case.

Allegedly Gigabyte DDR4 motherboards have some BIOS issues with RAM performance though 3200 CL16 should still work.

Maybe an Arctic Liquid Freezer AIO?

A 12900k is just far too much for basically any 280mm cooler so I advice you take a step down. The gigabyte boards also have some rather big bios issues atm.

Starting from the 12700k, you're always get more with better cooling. 280 is fine, just dont overclock the CPU so hard.

 

But the graphics card probably wont fit, CM gave a 60mm limit for thickness but the card is 62mm.

Im not sure if it makes a difference but the actual card is this one: https://www.microcenter.com/product/632635/powercolor-amd-radeon-rx-6900-xt-red-devil-overclocked-triple-fan-16gb-gddr6-pcie-40-graphics-card, the Red Devil Overclocked not the Ultimate. The Non-Ultimate is not on Pc Part Picker. Also, why does pcpartpicker list it as compatible if it isnt?

Same 62mm.

Did you consider an i7-12700k? It would resolve any budget issues without seriously impacting gaming performance.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
