Comments on my build

[Drake Jest]

I think i have finalized the build i  want to buy, in about 3-5 hours i will buy these components. I have maxed out my budget on these components, its what i think the best i can get in my area. As a final sanity check that everything will work together, i am asking for your guidance.

 

CPU : intel i5-12400

GPU: NONE (will transfer a gtx1080 from my old build)

RAM: 2x 8GB Kingston Fury Beast RGB 3200MT/s DDR4

MOBO: MSI Pro B660M-A WIFI  (WIFI and BLUETOOTH are important features)

SSD: Kingston NV2 1TB PCie 4.0

PSU: 650W Seasonic GX Full Modular Gold

 

Thoughts ? :)

Good, supposing you're on a tight 500ish budget

looks like a nice build, but i have mixed feelings to that MSI motherboard. I saw many people complaining about them, and also maybe take the K version, although idk if you're gonna be overclocking. Also think of going AMD, since I see you aren't going with the 13 gen, and you can get the same hardware at a lower price, thus spending it on more important things.

The 12400 gets toasty enough that I would recommend some form of aftermarket tower over the stock cooler. That Kingston drive's price has me worried it's very low quality, so I would chip in an extra $10 for a Crucial P3 or something that you can verify isn't bad on the tier list. A 1080 should actually fit very well into this system & 650W will be perfectly fine for it.

What complaints ? I've used a B660M Pro-A for my son's build on a 12600K and it's working nice

I did not know of this tier list let me see if my local version of amazon has anything i can swap with.

 

EDIT: could not find crucial p3 on the list, also wont it be a downgrade since a NVME 3.0 rather than V2's 4.0?

 

Speaking of which, i found a non RGB version of the ram at around 25$, images from the reviews looks legit and the seller is a known chain in my country.

The total would actually be around 600 in $. Still looking for sellers that offers lower prices.

Elaborate please share links if possible also. Id like to read up on them

What are you using it for? Gaming? Just browsing? Something else?

 

You can change the CPU and motherboard to a 5600 and B550. It performs pretty much the same as a 12400, but usually a lot cheaper. Really the only thing you're missing is the upgrade path.

The Kingston is actually pretty decent, I wouldn't say the P3 is an upgrade over it. Also that tier list hasn't been updated in ages, so it doesn't list recent drives or changes to older ones.

That's one of the best value boards for LGA 1700 right now, not sure what complaints you heard about it.
