PCPartPicker Part List: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6L9nMb

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-12700F 2.1 GHz 12-Core Processor  (£339.98 @ Amazon UK) 
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler  (£72.26 @ Technextday) 
Motherboard: *ASRock Z690 PG Riptide ATX LGA1700 Motherboard  (£182.55 @ Box Limited) 
Memory: *Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory  (£92.99 @ Corsair UK) 
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive  (£97.99 @ Technextday) 
Video Card: *Palit GamingPro GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8 GB Video Card  (£630.54 @ Amazon UK) 
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P500A D-RGB ATX Mid Tower Case  (£133.99 @ Box Limited) 
Power Supply: *Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  (£123.24 @ Amazon UK) 
Total: £1673.54

 

My overall budget is £2000 including shipping.

 

First and foremost it's going to be sued for gaming. This will be a personal all rounder rig but it's primary focus will be gaming. Everything from Minecraft, Sanctuary RPG Black edition, all the way up to Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding, and the age old stress test Crysis. As I said it will be a mixed use PC, this includes, streaming, video editing, C4D, etc. I'm not concerned about getting the ultra maximum performance in these use cases, just something that can reasonably take it within it's stride.

 

I'm also looking to keep this PC for the next 7-10 years so I'm willing to pay a little more for longevities sake.

 

I'm mostly looking for feedback on the CPU, motherboard, the case, and thermal compound (I'm not sure if the cooler comes with thermal compound).

 

I won't be overclocking, don't need integrated graphics, I also don't need WIFI (and again, won't overclock so don't need an overclock compatible chipset) however I am inclined to stick with this motherboard as it does have USB-C support (not an enormous detail but a nice QoL I would like).

 

Thermal paste. I doubt the cooler comes with it so, any suggestions?

 

The case, I do not care about RGB, and I do not care about seeing into it. I would like 4 USB ports on the front and maybe a USB-C port as well but that's just personal preference.

 

Thanks guys

Part list is private..

Regarding paste all new coolers come with some, preapplied or in a small tube

Thank you for that. It should now be viewable (I hope)

well you told us what you won't do on the pc, but what will you do on it would be a better question

[Ryuikko]

I'd probably switch to a non k cpu since oc dosent give you a lot of performance boost, and a b660 to go along with it. What are you doing with this pc?

The same as everyone else. Gaming, streaming, video editing (only a little bit joking).

Then you could swap the CPU to a 12600k that games as well as a 12700K and use the money t ge a better GPU, the 3070Ti is too expensive for what it is

Also get a PCie4 drive, it'll last longer if you want to keep it for a long time

Another good option is to wait a month or so ti get a 13600K

Could I downgrade the Motherboard to a B660 chipset as I don't plan on overclocking, and the i5 doesn't have an 12600F alternative?

I also plan on having at least 1 other M.2 for gaming. I don't necessarily mind replacing this one eventually but ideally the OS M.2 I want to have good longevity on it. Any suggestions for that?

[Ryuikko]

This should be a better option 

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DvbyZw

Same cpu but with igpu for quick sync

Cheaper cooler that's just as good

 Better board for cheaper and since z690 isn't needed for a non k cpu as well

Same kit of ram

2tb storage which should be a good nice to have 

Good 3080 which should last for a while 

Same case and a cheaper 850 watt psu

You can get a B660 (MSI PRO A is good) but DON'T GET the 12600 non K it has 0 Ecores instead of 4 on the 12600K, rather get the 12700 in this case.

For the 2nd M2 you can get a 2TB PCie3 like the WD SN570, but then you don't need a 1TB boot drive 500GB is more than enough

This is a bit more expensive but you can use a cheaper (but good and silent) cooler

Does the cooler come with pre-applied Thermal paste? I know many of them do but I don't want to order everything and find out I have to delay the build by another few days for thermal paste

It comes with a tube so there's no need to worry about that

If you don't want RGB then why that particular case ?
