Posted October 10, 2022 Budget (including currency): Country: Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 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): preferably $600-$750 but iz ok if it goes a lil overprice—the U.S. Gaming(mostly Fortnite, and maybe Overwatch) and regular use for a middle schooler. no peripherals are needed. os preferably windows 11 or maybe 10. Also, I want water-cooling and a good amount of RGB if possible. Already have a gigabyte 1080ti GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically you can either get a good PC with no RGB and no water cooling or a potato with fancy water cooling and RGB for that price. If you want RGB that’s gonna cost extra. Watercooling, even with an AIO, is a no go at this budget, the stock cooler is good enough to cool a CPU like the 12100f and 12400f. You’re a middle schooler, or are looking for a PC for one, so you’re probably going to want a big extra storage HDD or even a large SSD. Why? Kids love games like COD and such, and those games are MASSIVE. You could spend a little more and buy a 1tb SSD (the same model I picked would be good, just the 1tb model) or also get a nice big HDD. Here’s the same list with the 1tb SSD and a big HDD. Plenty of storage for all your games. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XhmZjZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed to a MUCH nicer case, some RGB ram, and an RGB AIO that’s optional. The original parts lists are above, personally this one here is a waste of money but you did say you want RGB and water cooling. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hkgjsL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could go for those Aliexpress RGB fans or some cheap (yet decent) ones from id cooling. Might be another consideration, I agree if stock cooler is enough but getting a decent (even cheap) cooler would've kind-of comforting a bit since the CPU will run on way lower temps and getting a little more headroom for the CPU to perform would've good for little future-proofing. @NF-A12x25I edited a bit of your part list (which actually we have the same near-exact component recommendations) with some of my own recommendation, plus RGB. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MxbHbK Welp, nvm.

Although OP could've go a little bit cheaper if he get a lower capacity SSD, as so far I game the SSD don't do much honestly. Humor me, as you should do. Daily drivers, below.
