PC build help

Vector93 · October 21, 2023

I'm new to PC building and I made my first build the only thing I'm not sure of is if all parts are compatible, can someone help with that ?

The motherboard is lga 1200, and the cpu is 1700, so switch either the cpu or motherboard with something with the same socket and the rest of the parts should be compatible.

You need B760 or Z790 for a 13400, because it is socket 1700 and 13th gen.

H610, B660 or Z690 are technically compatible (also socket 1700), but they might need a BIOS update so probably best to avoid unless the board has flashback and you're comfortable with flashing.

FYI: You don't need a 360mm AIO to cool a 13400F, you could even use the box cooler.

I would suggest changing to a DDR5 build, e.g.

The 13500 has 4 more E-Cores and a better IGP than the 13400 (the 13400F doesn't have one).

There is a pretty good website called PcPartPciker in wich you can pick all the components and it will search the best price for it in mos well-known sites and check most compatibility issues. Also I couldn't find your mobo anywhere and i don't know in what currency or where did u find that prices but doesen't seem very realistic. Also if u gave us the workloads u are gonna be using it for it'd be easier to help. Asuming normal gaming workloads and mantaining your CPU and GPU i've created a list wich will probably work. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LvcC89

Also if u add an HDD, around same budget (1500$) PcPartPicker has a guide: https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/Yxqqqs/excellent-intel-gamingstreaming-build Wich will give u more CPU and GPU power...

Not enough info. If OP goes for productivity and 13600K is still miles away in their local pricing then yeah, it make sense. But beyond that it still have the same cursed Alder Lake IMC and cache setup so in gaming performance it would be a tossup. OP, reread and answer few questions in this thread to help us. Be Specific.
