I personally find matx to be if not just as good at least real close). good for most purposes and a bit smaller and cheaper.  You don’t get as many pcie slots.  Generally a 16, a 1, and a 4(which may look like a 16 but is actually a 4.  Only 4 lanes are actually wired up) You can’t use more than one video card with them, but frequently there’s only one card in the machine anyway if you buy one with a A&e wifi card.  It’s a judgement call.  The other one is there was a new atx spec put out recently which is almost identical except it lengthens the time a PSU has to be able to support a higher wattage.  If you don’t get one of those and you have an amphere or later video card that is 3060 or bigger it’s often a good idea to bump the required wattage by 100w. With 2 GPUs BOTH of which can throw transient spikes I might even want to go higher.  2 video cards is real rare these days.  It’s not actually for the extra power but to cover the transient voltage spikes.  If you’re using two GPUs (why are you using 2 GPUs?  There’s already an iGPU in the cpu.  If you need another 2d monitor just run it off the motherboard slot.  Maybe you want to run 3 things at once.  A 1080p game, a1440p game, and a 2d) atx is more of a must and you really need to pay attention as to whether the slots other than the top one are how many actual lanes and what type of pcie.  A 3060 can handle being put on pcie x8 (it will still need a x16 comb slot)  a 3070 can’t though.  So it looks ok but you’ll want to pay attention to what you buy.

I want to build a PC for both GPU intensive tasks like gaming and 3d modelling and CPU intensive tasks.

 

Here is a list of parts available in my area along with their price:

Intel i5 13600K - 29,900
Intel i7 12700K - 34,250
RTX 3060 - 29,900
RTX 3070 - 47,200
M.2 NVME 1TB - 5750
ATX MotherBoard - 21,900
DDR 4 16GB - 4700
165Hz Monitor - 12,500
600w psu - 5000
CMP 520 argb cabinet - 5550
cpu cooler - 3000

 

I'm thinking of this build:

i5 13600k

RTX 3070

1tb nvme

ddr4 16gb

165hz ips monitor

600w psu

 

So, the total price adds up to: 1,35,500

 

AMD GPUs are not that commonly available in India and I prefer Nvidia for Raytracing too. 

Is my build good or are there any suggestions? I don't want to exceed the price of my current config.

Im aware that the rtx 3060 has more vram but the 3070 is supposedly faster. Should I change anything?

btw, the currency is inr

Programming is the opposite of a cpu intensive task.  You can program on a phone or even just a paper napkin.  It’s text editing.  Compiling big things can be cpu intensive though.  Likes lots of cores.  The big one is will your compiler use ecores or not?  If it will intel wins.  If it won’t AMD wins.  Are 13700s out yet? There’s an argument for 8/16 for gaming even though only 6/12 is needed to date.  I bought a 12700 for gaming myself. Anything faster than a 13400 or a 5600x is more or less overkill for gaming.  Looking at your preferred, I would look hard at a bigger PSU for that 3070.  The used market for video cards is hot at the moment.  I have no idea what that currency is.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Fixed it.

So India.  Pcpartpicker used to have a thing for India but it doesn’t anymore.  Too many little shops and weird mail I suspect.  Well if AMD isn’t an option it’s only intel.  The big thing with the intel is the ecores.  Somethings (like games) can’t use them so if they can a 13600k has all kinds of cores, but if they can’t it’s got 6.  Enough for gaming, at least for now.  Towards the EOL of the XboxX/PS5 there may be a problem.  Or there may not.  The question is will the ecores do things?  Win11 deals with ecores supposedly better than win10 but I don’t know how exactly.

a 13600k (if you’re getting a k chip I suggest a zseriies mobo to go with it) ahold likely be enough.  You’ll want to find a compiler that plays nice with ecores though.  Then you should rip through things.
