Seems a bit high for a 3060 when you can get a 6700xt for $20 more.

Overspending on so many things, such as CPU, cooler, case.

Does 3d modelling uses CPU or GPU? I'd assume GPU.

12400 instead of 12600k.

A lot cheaper and decent air cooler.

1TB great value SSD, no modern computer should only have HDD and no SSD.

3070 instead of 3060.

Case is way too expensive for the budget, but if you like it then who am I to judge.

Good PSU, no change.

Win 11 key, find a lot cheaper ones, just google it.

Yea still quite abit of hypocrisy here

 

Psu is highway robbery, you can get a god damn 1000w phanteks amp for the same price

 

Rams also overpriced and corsair isnt even good anyways, easy 15$ ish save going for silicon power

 

Cs1030/2130 is best value 1tb/2tb cause cheap and high end (3k+ r/w speed)

 

Peerless assasin 120 se offers much better cooling performance than the vetroo v5 while being similarly priced

 

And board choice is just stupid, why the hell even bother with a b660 tomahawk when z690 goes for the same price and b660m aorus pro ax is 134$ and prob similar feature set and i/o

 

Case is personal preference but look for cheaper ones cause >100$ you arent gonna get much other than size or gimmicks

Pretty much what i usually reccomend for (near) best price/performance at this budget, btw used gpus exist so you may consider looking for a used ebay gpu and save some $

I would recommend WD for your HDD over Seagate (particularly the Black series, but Blue with a larger cache will do), and you really should consider an M.2, even if only a 500GB... Boot time will be greatly decreased and apps and games will load faster. I would recommend the Blue SN570, arguably a good bang for the buck -- beyond 3,500 mbps you really won't notice much extra speed.

 

Given that the 3060ti-OC I paid $850 for six months ago is still $479, I don't think $379 is bad at all, but if you can get a 3070 for the same price, by all means.

 

I fail to see how the RM850x is highway robbery, it's the same price I paid for one six months ago, and I have no complaints.

 

Given the amount of posts I've seen lately concerning issues with Win11, I wouldn't touch it. I've disabled updates on my machine because Microsoft refuses to leave me be about my free upgrade to an obvious dumpster fire that almost everyone is having problems with.

Heres a bloody evga p3 1000w platinum psu at 16$ more, 1000w gq is 5$ cheaper than the rmx

 

Yea terrible price for an actually good psu, maybe if it was closer to 110$ i wouldnt be bashing it so hard

So much hormone in this post, are you starving or what.

 

I try not to change too much, they made their choice for a reason, if it is still within their ability, I don't see why I have to change them. They will most likely end up with some of their own choices anyway.

For example, brand preference, maybe warranty coverage, or just trust. 

As long as their choice isn't dumb, it should be fine, this isn't a very budget strict build anyway.

PC building is not all about saving a buck, in fact it is about being able to personally pick each components.

 

12400 doesn't need that much cooling, and that cooler you mentioned is huge, personally I don't like unnecessarily huge components. Makes assembly and disassembly so much harder.

 

SSD, sure your choice is a good bang for buck, but I would rather have 1tb fast storage and at least 2 tb of cheap decent storage, you could fit a 4tb drive and 1 tb SSD with your choice.

 

The board, which he chose, is just fine, he doesn't need to purchase the best performing one, maybe he likes the look or need some of the features so he chose that.

Board is kinda personal for mid range builds anyway. I learnt from experience, I chose the cheapest decent board and now I wish that I had chose a better looking one.

 

And the PSU you chose is a lower quality PSU, RMx maybe expensive, but people trust that PSU model.

Objectively 12700f + 3080 vs 12400 + 3070, ofc the damn higher spec wins by a landslide, dont matter the crap like the mobo (doesnt even directy affect performamce)

 

If you are fine with a lower perfoming system then thats your choice but objectively higher spec always crushes lower spec (aside from oc shenanigans but thats mostly dead or reserved for maniacs)

 

 

The cooler it dont actually look that big but photo angles vary, fuma 2 if you wanna ensure best ram compatibility and gain abit of cooling performance (apparently now matches the d15)

 

Ssd choice yea i goofed, meant to go for the 2130 at 147$, though the 1030 will still perform the same as the mp33

 

Looks are objective, features, i/o, etc. Nope, b660 tomahawk looks to be overpriced for no reason, may aswell get the z690 a pro/ud at the same price, though a feature comparison with b660 tomahawk and z690 a pro would be more useful in determining if the b660 tomahawk is not that garbage or its so bad you may aswell get the z690 boards. Also boards wise ive only seen ppl choose for colour or brand not just looks, i mean if it doesnt look like a lowend h610 it looks fine

 

Gd is lower quality but 45$ cheaper, and you really dont need to waste all your money on a psu either, gd wont explode or anything and will last a good decade like the rmx. Get a sufficiently good psu at the best price and done not just arbitrary ""ooh this psu is better because it lasts 1 year longer than the others and better power regulation" when literally everything else lasts 10 years and doesnt have extreme voltage swings or volt spikes or anything like that. Compare to the competitin both in its class (850w) and if its overpriced af above its class like the evga 1000w p3 platinum psu, and keep in mind im running a dazumba 450w from 11 years ago (average quality unit) yet it still runs just fine all these years later.

 

 

Im just a value guy, max performance/$ more better

 

If youve maxed specs (12700f + 3080) then sure spend on all the crap you want as it wont comprimize performance but if you are comprimizing performance for crap that dont even affect performance then i just say no

I truly understand, as an Asian, I really really value good bang for buck, it's in my blood. But I also value personal choice, pretty/good looking things, and high quality things.

Based on his choices, he'd like a good looking PC, which I understand, which is why I didn't maximize the budget, leaving him some room to choose good looking parts.

Yea sure do what you want really its your $, tbh i wouldnt really go absolute max value either but thats mostly because i like to oc the balls off my ram and if i get a ddr4 platform sure ram go vroom vroom, though i have my ways of compensating for $ wasted (ghetto loop over normie custom loop, no case, etc.)

 

Personally i just invalidate aesthetics as like sure you can look like those social media pcs but those have been done to death (aside from actual unique pcs like the pc that looks like some sort of building that they showed off on ltt), daily xoc sector is pretty barren

From what I hear about the quality of some of EVGA's products and their RMA / warranty process, I'm perfectly fine with what I have. Only issue I've had with my build is the RAM instability, and that was sort of my own fault because I didn't know about QVL when I ordered it.
