(Sorry for bad English, i am german)

 

I want to ask you guys for help here,

 

 

I have a budget of around 450$ and want to upgrade my old pc with these components:

- amd fx 6300 processor (I know its bad but i got it from my brother)

- gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 6.0 motherboard

- some ddr3 1600 mhz ram (idk the producer)

- LC-POWER LC-CC-120-RGB cpu cooler

- rtx 3060 (I know its overkill and i have a bottleneck)

- i also have an ssd with windows and an hdd with games usw.

 

i want to upgrade to these components and i would like some reviews if this is good or not

- Intel Core i5-13400F

- Kingston FURY Beast DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR4-3600

- GIGABYTE B760 Gaming X DDR4

 

Yeah i would like some opinions and some suggestions for improvement

Yes insane upgrade compared to the FX6300! And a nice pairing with the RTX 3060.

 

You can't reuse the CPU-cooler, the 13400(f) comes with a stock-cooler that is sufficient although a bit noisy.

 

And if your power supply is as old as the cpu it might be a good idea to swap that out for a modern unit.

Thanks for the response,

The Cooler has multiple mounting brackets for multiple motherboards and in the manual it says that it'll fit, and i have 2 fans atached to it, will it cool it?

The powersupply is 600w, can it handle all that power?

 

Sorry for the questions, but im anxious that i spent a lot of money for nothing.

 

THX for the reply

Ah ok great if you have the socket 1700 mounting it will be fine indeed. More than enough cooling for the 13400f.

 

600 watt is also fine, what brand and model do you have?

Thx for the reply,

but i think ill stay by my option, because i already have 2 fans installed on my cooler and it'll fit on the cpu and motherboard i picked.

I don't want to buy another cooler and for my activities (light gaming) it would be good enough to go with ddr4 ram.

 

Thx for the reply.
