Budget (including currency): $USD1500 max

 

Country: USA

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Latest games and coding

 

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 have everything except the PC.

 

I have access to Microcenter. I was wondering if this deal is worth it.

I don't have any preferences as far as looks. Don't care about overclocking either.

Bear in mind you'll need a dedicated GPU, otherwise the built-in GPU, while not bad, won't get you all the pretty effects in gaming

 

EDIT:

If you buy the parts individually, you will pay a lot more, so as a bundle yes, a good deal

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

Take it or leave it IMO.  They also have a Bundle for a 12600k and a z690 board for $300, which at you budget would get you a much faster gaming system since your GPU matters 1000x more than having a bunch of extra unused cores.  As far as single core speeds, the 12600k is more than fast enough for any GPU now and will be for some time to come.  It also has 10 cores and 16 threads which is more than enough for your workload.  The 7900x thing is a good deal, but it's twice as expensive and won't benefit your workload, forcing you to go with a slower GPU, which will effect you gaming performance al.  You want the fastest GPU your budget will allow while.  I'd go with something like this, this would have all of your games running at an extremely high framerate at 1440p:

Here just a suggestion for the other parts to get to a full system...

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/t2QjVw

With the parts from the Bundle the total price would be 1523.93 $, but you also have some choces, for example you could change the PSU for a 750 W one to get right to the 1500USD

 having a better gpu is always going to give you more fps so spending that much on cpu isnt really worth it if you are not pairing that with top of the line gpu (4090)

Thank you all for the responses. I've decided to go with the other CPU/Mobo combos some of you have recommended. 

 

Can you help me decide between these two:

 

BUILD 

@Queen Chrysalis

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jcfs4s

 

The mobo recommended here is not instock anymore so I'm going with this one instead:

 

https://www.microcenter.com/product/643435/Z690-PLUS_TUF_Gaming_WiFi_DDR4_Intel_LGA_1700_ATX_Motherboard

 

It's also $70 bundled with the CPU

 

The GPU is available on Amazon but the shipping takes a while. I'd rather order as much as possible from Amazon.

 

The RX 7900 XT Ultra one is available on Amazon with prime shipping, is there a major difference between it and the Black Edition recommended?

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNLT17XQ?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1

 

-------------------------------------------------

BUILD

@Gokul_P

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fQz8gb

 

This does not appear to be available anywhere:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JnZ9TW/thermalright-tl-r12-6525-cfm-120-mm-fan-tl-r12w

 

So I'm guessing this is equivalent?:

R 12 b is cheaper than R12A  and the only differance iam seeing is the color changed. And yeah the 12700K Tuf gaming board bundle for the same prize is also good

Hey I just updated my post, not sure if you get notifications when I do so I'm letting you know. I included a question regarding the GPU you recommended. Also, any recommendations on a case I can get on Amazon?

Visuals: If you want to save some money, dispense with the aesthetic crap, like white and RGB, and get "plain" alternatives.

 

Fans: Fans are a good idea. The PC Part Picker has the wrong name if you insist on white. The correct one is Thermalright TL-R12-W 12cm Cooling Fan. I saw it on DHGate for $22, AliExpress for $13.50. If you're keen, there are several alternatives from TR, as well as other companies that have white fans. If you want to save money on the SAME model, get the black for $6.90 or the gray for $10.68 on Amazon. RGB versions are 3x the price. Color, sadly, does matter because they tend to produce parts in large numbers only in specific colors (usually black or gray), so anything else is more expensive unless demand drives supply up, which drops the price. Aside from this, there are several other good brands, including Corsair ML120, Noctua 120x25, and Arctic ( @Queen Chrysalis: which model?).

 

Cooler: An RGB or regular Assassin, or you could look at other air tower coolers, or get an AIO. Do you have AC?

 

RAM: Both are good, although I didn't look at the details beyond the trade-off in frequency (3600 vs 3200) and CL (18 vs 16). I'm not really familiar with those brands. If you need something better, take a look at this article to see if anything fits your needs.

 

Storage: I'm not keen on Kingston, and the Crucial is significantly better. Also, Crucial makes memory for a lot of companies, including Nvidia and AMD. Both have better products: check out this article for a range of deals of TOP SSDs. If you're planning to have many games installed at the same time, I can say from personal experience that 1 TB will NOT be enough. Get a 2TB and/or two 1TB SSDs. If you get two, install the games to the 2nd SSD so your boot drive has plenty of space. I currently have Neverwinter, WarHammer 3: TW, CoD: MW2, Vampire: Bloodhunt, Propnight, Diablo Immortal, plus my browsers and stuff, and I usually have less than 100 GB left on my boot drive. I had wanted other games but had to settle. (I have a 2nd SSD, but I've been preoccupied with a family crisis).

 

Case: I'm not familiar with these brands, although I know Phanteks is supposed to be a good case maker. Both have about the same amount of ventilation and the left side is glass, and both seem to have mesh on the fronts but how big the difference in mesh  is is not obvious from the photos. Visually, the outsides seem very similar - lack of creativity. Both have PSU shrouds and space to hide things behind the mobo. Neither allows for externally-accessible drives (e.g. hot-swapping, DVD, BluRay) in the case, but if you remove the front of the Magnium, you can access 2 drives there. Both have 7 mobo expansion slots covered in the rear.

 

  • The Cougar:
    • has 3 120mm fans and can hold two more, and/or you can have 1 120/240mm radiator, plus 2 120mm rads, or a combo (but 120mm rads are useless for this);
    • also has mesh on top;
    • supports mini-ITX to ATX mobos
    • the front panel has a power button, USB (2) 3.2 Gen. 1A and (2) 2A ports, and 1 mic and one headset RJ-45 jacks. The max. GC length is 350 mm / 13.78";
    • has:
      • 1 x External 5.25" (great if you need an internal HDD.
      • 2 x Internal 3.5"
      • 2 x Internal 2.5"
    • has two bays in the bottom front accessible from the right
  • The Magnium:
    • comes with 2 120mm fans, but their website is lacking in info, so I can only assume from the photos that it can hold the same as the Cougar;
    • also has a mesh filter under the PSU (hopefully it is actually close enough to the case to filter out dust, unlike the one on my Corsair iCUE 5000x);
    • supports e-ATX mobos (but there's an unexplained asterisk, and e-ATX isn't listed on PC Part Picker), as well as mini-ITX to ATX mobos;
    • the front panel has a power button, reset button, and another button I cannot determine, USB (2) 3.2 Gen. 1A, and 1 mic and one headset RJ-45 jacks. The max. GC length is 400 mm / 15.748";
    • has:
        • 2 x Internal 3.5"
        • 3 x Internal 2.5" with removable tray
    • has two slide-out drive trays in the bottom front of the case so, if you remove the front, you can access that - I guess they're 3.5"
    • cable management

CPU: Your AMD choice vs. Queen's Intel choice. i5-12600k is older and ~$160 less expensive, 7900x has +1 GHMz +2 cores and +8 threads. Speed rank: 18 vs 26. So, do you want better or cheaper?

 

Mobo: Your mobo choice (ASUS RS B650E for AMD) or Asus TG Z690. If you don't plan on overclocking the CPU, and you don't need the superior features (e.g. slots & ports), you don't need a Z board. Compare the B & H boards and see which meets your needs. You could even compare apples to apples: both RS or both TG.

 

PSU: Both are fully modular. I don't see that particular Thermaltake on the PSU Tiers list, but fortunately it's in the spread sheet as Tier A  (Units Index tab, line 1280) but not much data. The Enermax is Tier A+ multi-rail (line 523), with some data. The color is not relevant except price: +$15 for the Enermax.

 

Price: (Fans not included) Queen's was $1553.87. Gokul's came to $1629.85+ the CPU and mobo, again because the CPU is the newest gen versus last gen for the Intel.

 

You could consider looking at comparable CPUs and mobos...Unfortunately, the PC Part Picker doesn't seem to have the new stuff (I looked). I hope this helps.

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

LOL, by the time I'd have put together a parts list for you, you'd be happily playing on your new PC. It takes me a while. 😉

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

CPU: Your AMD choice vs. Queen's Intel choice. i5-12600k is older and ~$160 less expensive, 7900x has +1 GHMz +2 cores and +8 threads. Speed rank: 18 vs 26. So, do you want better or cheaper?

 

Mobo: Your mobo choice (ASUS RS B650E for AMD) or Asus TG Z690. If you don't plan on overclocking the CPU, and you don't need the superior features (e.g. slots & ports), you don't need a Z board. Compare the B & H boards and see which meets your needs. You could even compare apples to apples: both RS or both TG.

 

 Queen's was $1553.87. Gokul's came to $1629.85+ the CPU and mobo, again because the CPU is the newest gen versus last gen for the Intel.

Cpu: 12700 vs 7900X in gaming has at max 5% differance but spending that much money on 7900x and getting 6800xt compared to the 7900Xt you are loosing almost 30-40% perfomance.  Even compared to 6900Xt it still has 20% more perfomance .  And 12700 has a very similer perfomance to 13600 but that cpu isnt available as a bundle so you are looking at spending close to 500$. The cpu alone is 300$. If you have the money get the 7900x that isnt going to do much in gaming  and coding 

 

Motherboard: its a cpu motherboard bundle in microcenter and there all is z690 and all of them in the same prize. 

 

We have to consider the budget cant really say 4090 is the best gpu so you should get that to a guy with 2000$

True, all true. I had just responded to someone with way more money and forgot his budget was smaller, but I left it open-ended for him.

 

I've never shopped at Micro Center. Doesn't really matter, though, since PPP doesn't have that mobo and CPU listed. I didn't say anything about the GC since you both chose the same one. Hopefully, though, he has enough info to pick yours or Queen's suggestion and then modify it as needed. 👌
