Im about to build my first PC and im on a budget. My choice for CPU is either i5 11400 or the i5 12400. Given the current prices on GPUs, I’m going the used market route. Ive found a gtx 1070 aero 8gb, it is an itx version. 16gb of ram 3200hz and 1tb of nvme ssd. For cooling i was thinking since its not a crazy set up stock cooler should be fine, if you guys think otherwise, i might use a better cpu cooler. Is this a good build? Will i have significant bottleneck? Is the CPU GPU combo a good match? Im mainly trying to run warzone. 

 

p.s Which one of the CPUs should i go for?

go for an i7 10700k and an rtx 2060ti

Imagine everything i have written in a Linus Voice/ linus tone (Spock live long and prosper gif here ,idk why tho, i guess i just want to say that i like star trek and am waiting for new seasons of the ongoing shows), But seriously, a lot of what i type only makes sense when said in a Linus tone from an older ltt video (circa 2017-2019 & now 2024-onwards) basically before he got a beard and a lot of it should make sense even in a Linus with a beard face.

also note as per the latest typing test on my laptop, my accuracy is 69%

 

I'm not weird/creepy, I'm just observant I have ADHD and am not on any meds for it.

The 12400 is the best budget chip you can buy right now.

It's performance rivals that of the 5600x, at significantly less cost.

 

The 12th gen stock cooler isnt great, but it will get the job done.
