Rate my potential build.

Budget (including currency): £1,500

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: An assortment of games like, Overwatch, Stray and what not and then like writing things for my course.

 

Hi, so i would love any feedback on this particular set up. Hoping for any advice on changing certain components or parts

 

Thanks

12600k on entry-level H610 board?

 

No SSD anywhere that I can see listed? Unconscionable. 

 

32GB of RAM is probably money wasted.

 

Who knows what a "PCS FrostFlow 100" CPU cooler is.

I'm assuming it's a pre-built? Is it kind of an si thing or just options to choose from? The ram is pretty slow, terrible mobo and an okay psu. Only hdd?

[Hairless Monkey Boy]

I give it a 5/10.

 

Starting from a perfect 10.

 

-1 point for H610 motherboard with 12600K.

-1 for 32GB (more than you need) of 2666 (slow) RAM.

-2 for HDD rather than SSD.

-1 for low end PSU.

Where do you see any SSD?

 

It says "3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200rpm" for "1st storage drive" which is the only drive of any type on the list I can find. What am I overlooking?

Now its a fine system. But have you took a look at AMD? i bet you canfit a 6700XT and a 5600 (maybe even a 5700X) in your Budget and it should perform quite a bit better for gaming with the 6700XT

That's a lot of ram for that GPU imo.
Might want to go 3070 before you want 32 GB ram

z690 is still a waste.  You'd be a lot better off just getting a 112400 and a b660 or a 5600 and a b450.  Then you could go for a way better gpu than the 3060.

Yeah this.  Right now you can get a 6700xt for $415 and it's leaps and bounds faster than the 3060.  It's about the same as a 3070 in most games.  Downgrading your CPU and motherboard and getting that GPU would provide a way higher framerate in every single game.
