How's this for $3k, aesthetics not important at all.

That's a decent size case, why not do a ATX mobo as opposed to the micro atx? Any specific reason for that?

I would recommend this instead. Much better cpu cooler, 3080 over 3080Ti (saving some money there too), and just 1 2TB M.2 NVME SSD.

 

Case fans are for the front of the case (intake).

A z690 motherboard is a better pairing with the i5-12600k.

 

I'd suggest a higher performance cooler.

 

A better case. The Focus G cases have an acrylic side panel. Easily scratched.

 

The most important change is the PSU. The BQ is not worth anywhere near CA$125.

I have my i5 12600k paired with the MSI Z690 EDGE DRDR4 mobo, stock overclock profile with a NZXT 280mm z63. Ide temps around 20-22c, I havent seen it over 40c yet.

I'm surprised the stuff other than the 3080Ti managed to add up to over 1000USD, since you underestimated/cut down the power and cooling side of things so much. Yes, not on about aesthetics.

Low idle temps just means you remembered to remove plastic film at the base of the cooler and it's powered. That's it. Not related to full load temperatures at all which is what does matter.

Just stating my personal experience and observations with said CPU and my specfic mobo, brotha! Thats all, but you are correct!

If one doesn't plan to overclock (other than XMP) and only has two drives, what is to be gained by spending more on the motherboard? It's a pretty simple setup and the only reason for the k-series CPU is that for some weird reason it's cheaper than a non-k.

there's no need for an unlocked CPU and Z-motherboard if you're not going to overclock. most people don't anyways and i highly suggest just downgrading to a locked cpu and motherboard to save a lot more money. running WoW at 4k, a RTX 3080 should be sufficient. but i advise you put the money to cool the PC components instead as it can get hot.

I was hoping to get it all from one etailer (amazon) but now I see that the 12600non-k is $300 so $80~ savings. Probably worth spreading the budget around.

Why do you have 2 M.2 SSD's? 1 of 500GB and 1 of 2TB

 

With that case you can just as well use a couple HDD's instead of a extra M.2 SSD, which will give you more storage for the same price.

500GB OS, 2TB Working Storage, Games etc. That way the OS disk can be wiped completely and it doesn't affect any of the files. The goal was speed, hence NVME.
