Is this a consistent build?

Si1ent_Knight · October 9, 2022

Budget (including currency): 1200

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly Gaming, relatively big variety (Paradox-Games, LoL, Wreckfest just to name a few), also high level Programming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I already own the Acer monitor and want to keep it as a secondary monitor, nothing to upgrade from since i use a laptop right now.

I am currently browsing parts for my first self built PC and currently got this:

I already own the Acer monitor and want to keep it as a secondary monitor.

Now my questions, is this a cohesive build and should I upgrade the processor one step? Also is intel+amd combination fine or should i change something around? Also unsure about the Power supply. And is the setup capable enough so the new monitor is actually worth it or should i settle on either 144 Hz or 2560 x 1440, and is it even a good idea to run 2 completely different monitors like that? I have a little bit budget to spare, but I don't want to spend much more.

Thank you for your advice.

It's okay, except the PSU which is sh#t, you really should take something better

The mobo isn't great, will work ok with a 12100, but you could get a better one that would allow upgrade up to a 12700 (or 13xxx )
