This would be a good balanced build, well within your budget. I would choose Intel over AMD for lower power consumption, and AM4 is a dead platform that I wouldn't invest in at the moment.

 

If you are gaming at 144Hz, the 12600 is worth it over the 12400 I would say. Will be a bit more future proof. If you want to spend your entire budget, you could consider spending  the extra money on a 3080Ti or 3090.

 

But really the smartest choice is to get the build below, and save the rest of your money for future upgrades.

 

Good luck!

The 12600 is about the same as the 12400f since it has the same amount of cores. I wouldn't expect to see a lot of difference

Might not be the best time to buy new cpu or gpu as new ones are coming out in a few months.

Aha, you are correct. I was somehow under the impression the 12600 had more (E) cores but it does not. They both have 6 P-cores and 0 E cores.

 

In that case, either step up to the 12700 (8 P cores + 4 E cores), or stick with the 12400.

You might be thinking about unlocked  version of the 12600 which has 4 extra e cores

12400F (12600F if you really want that extra 0-20fps)

 

2x8GB@3200, no need for more

 

Most budget towards the GPU to get performance

 

+ good heatsink like Noctua and Corsair 4000 or Fractal Torrent

The 12600K goes a bit beyond just adding 4 more e-cores, it also comes with Turbo Boost 3.0 so even if you don't overclock, it keeps a lot more of its cores up to speed. The 12400F has the old, crappy Turbo Boost 2.0 which is basically its achille's heel. Straight when you get a 2 core or over load, all of the cores scramble at 4 ghz. You get no more. It boosts only a singular core load to 4.4, and that happens almost never since Windows throws other tasks to the other cores, eventually bringing them all together down to 4000 Mhz. It's advertised as a 4.4 Ghz CPU, but this holds no actual truth when you put it to real use like I've done here... with this kind of budget, I'd probably be looking at a better CPU. It is a perfectly fine CPU for a build worth a grand though.

A bit over budget. Adjust the NVMe drive choice if necessary.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
