Was really thinking about just transplanting what I have into a new case but I also want to pass my current rig onto my son, except for the keyboard and mouse I have. Those are just things I feel shouldn't get passed down so I have some cheap new KB&M in my PCPartPicker list. Let me know if you all think this will work and if I am missing anything I might need. I am new to PC building and am super interested in getting into it as I already do console repair and cleaning.

The difference between the 12700K and the 12700F is very minimal. 5% at most, even overclocking does not make a huge difference. Swapping to the F version allows you to save some and going to a less expensive H670 motherboard also nets about $250. (If there are no other features on the Z690 you chose you want/need.) Cooler is also overkill. If you want an AIO for the style points I'd recommend the arctic liquid freezer 2 rgb which comes in up to 480MM variants. Among the best AIO performance on the market and good pricing. 

 

7000X is really overkill as it's kind of an unwieldly monster and you can fit everything you need in smaller cases. (I chose the 4000X RGB but the Lian Li O11 air mini is also a good choice.) But the 4000X is essentially a slightly smaller version of the 7000X. I added the ASUS TUF V27AQ as it provides a much better gaming experience with 1440p and 165hz. With this graphics card you can easily run 4K if you want to hook it up to a TV or change your mind and go for a 4K monitor. 

 

Added an actual mechanical keyboard. If you don't like this one there are several on the market for less than the K55. 

 

Put the savings into a 3080Ti. At 1440p this will be ~30% faster than the 3060Ti in your current build. Also swapped the power supply for an 850W one. (I like the rgb as well but you never really see the power supply anyway.)

The build is light on RGB- only for the Case and video card. That's just my preference, but I can adjust it to yours if you'd like (If there's anything else you'd like changed, please just ask). Windows can be transferred from PCs!

This message has some constructive criticism, and some commentary for @Linkfyre

 

1. Yep, that is true. I like to overclock, but OP, if you don't plan to overclock (essentially only for fun) you can save around $150 by going with a b660 and a 12700/f, maybe even $200 as you wouldn't need as beefy of a cooler.

 

2. I'm not sure of the full specs (primarily IO in contrast to the asus) but the MSI pro B660-a is going to have better vrms at the same price (with a black colour scheme!) So I think I would go with that motherboard.

 

3. H212 is a solid little cooler, but you can go for better performance for the same price, or the same for a lill' less (se224xt, 225, 226, and scythe coolers). 

 

4. Corsair RGB Ram is pretty, but you're definitely not getting the best value there. This is more of a flavor preference, but you can get the same performance for $60 less if you sacrifice the aesthetics, or for $40 if you go with a slightly better kit from Crucial. 

 

5. 3080ti has it's advantages, but when you can get a 6900xt for $300 less, I'd go for it. OP, if you have specific workloads that you need an Nvidia GPU for, Perhaps consider it, but otherwise, AMD is what I'd favor. 

 

6. The case is another flavor preference, personally I'd go for saving like.. $60? And still get RGB, and better airflow in the phanteks p360a. 

 

7. OP, hardware unboxed (yt) and Rtings (website) are really nice sources for monitors, I would highly suggest going over to them and checking out their reviews/ roundups and seeing what suits you the best. 

 

8. The keyboard is mechanical yes, but personally I'd advocate for spending some more for an overall better experience. Leopold and especially varmilo offer many great options, at a relatively affordable price. 

 

9. I'm a bit of an audio snob, so take my comment with that in mind haha. Gaming headsets/headphones for several reasons generally sound pretty bad, and aren't something I'd recommend for most people. However, wireless (especially low-latency wireless suitable for gaming) is pretty hard to get for a headphone that sounds good. If you're fine with wired, the koss ur40 (kind of ugly, but for a very good cause) is quite nice, and for a little more the creative aurvana live! SE, and the akg k361 are nice headphones. For wireless, you have the Koss kph7 wireless, ksc35 wireless... and that's about it, until $180. All of these headphones lack a mic, so you'll need to add one on (either a dedicated, seperate mic such as the fifine k669b, a stick-on boom mic like the v-moda boom pro, or a laviler mic.) 

[Linkfyre]

I appreciate the inputs on this and am doing some comparison shopping on these parts, and looking at a combination of aesthetics and functionality. Again, thank you! Gonna be editing my list based on these recommendations here soon. Not ready to pull the trigger on the purchase process yet.
