the extra efficiency cores are only really useful in productivity

I'd rather get this psu Cooler Master MWE GOLD 750 V2 FULL MODULAR 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (MPE-7501-AFAAG-US) - PCPartPicker

Or an 850w

you defo don't need ddr5. And if you do get it then get at least 32gb

yes I am over but I put 2tb of storage in and good low latency 2x16 ram and I went for am5 (newer platform than lga 1700). You can go for 1tb of storage with an mp33 if you want to really stay in budget

We can go LGA 1700 as well though. But I think the real selling point of lga 1700 is it's compatibility with ddr4

Initially I had a 7600 and while in shooter games it gets like single digit more fps than the 13400F, the $20 savings in CPU and other places allows us to push to a 6700XT while staying below budget cap.

Far cheaper, well spotted.

I swear I selected 32GB, but be seeing things, you right it does say not what I'd recommend.

Now it's showing up, when I did it Sapphire was the only one for that price.

I dunno about 12600K. 13400F is basically the same chip just uses less power and runs less hot. 99% of games there's within a frame of each other, 13400F sometimes being the one on top.

nice build but why no 2tb of storage? I only say that since a 2tb nvme is only about 30 AUD more

good point, both have the same efficiency cores and p cores just the 13th gen one with less power and can actually be cooled by a stock cooler
