As it says in the title, i'm building my first pc. I've been researching compatible gpu's, cpu's, and everything else and I want to see if there would be any problems with what I have so far.
CPU: Intel i7 12700k 12th gen
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G OC

RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB 16GB 6000MT/s DDR5 CL40 DIMM Desktop Memory 2 x 8 GB

Motherboard:  Gigabyte - Z690 AORUS ULTRA Motherboard

For cooling, I have no idea what to get for this, appreciate it if you guys help me out a bit here. Same for the case.

edit: no idea what to do for the storage either, or the PSU

 

thanks, jdog

This dosn't seem like a great value build.

 

A Z690 board is very expensive and not worth it for the price point you seem to be buying in.

A 3060 12GB is just a bad value.

DDR5 ram is an expensive pick and dosn't add that much performance.

 

At this price point your better off going for B series motherboards, non X AMD 5000 series CPUs and DDR4 ram.

 

What is your budget and where are you buying?

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

If you want to go 12th gen, I'd choose a cheaper motherboard. 16GB is not usually good value either.

 

The PSU in my spec is way overkill, but a decent discount.

 

Suggestions for case, cooler included.

I'm trying to keep the costs of everything below 1000 dollars, but I could go over if needed. I'm kinda new to all this PC stuff, and i was going to buy the parts from Amazon, is there any other sites that could be used to look for parts?

A 5700X is roughly a 12600K equivilent, but a 7800XT is roughly equivilent to a 4070 (but with more vram, so it should be relevant for longer)

 

The first of my builds includes a 5600 CPU which will come with a stock cooler (it's easily enough for that chip). The second includes a 5700X, which dosn't come with a cooler, so I added a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler which should be more than enough for that level of chip.

The case may come with fans, if it dosn't I suggest building it, seeing if the thermals are good and then if not you can always add some more fans later to unlock extra performance.

First build has been updated with an idea stolen from @Tetras. That Phanteks amp v2 1000W PSU is a bargain.

12600kf + 4070 + 32gb 3600c18

 

You can swap the 4070 out for a 7800xt, might even be able to find a good deal on a used 3090

Not worth buying as it doesnt have a 10 year warranty

 

Id reccomend the thermaltake Gf3 1050w as its at 121$ but also has a 10 year warranty and its got a slightly higher wattage

 

If you want a cheap 1000w then thatd be the apevia prestige/galaxy since those are priced low enough to jistify not having a 10 year warranty and also priced somewhat competitively to used 1000w units

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

12600kf + 4070 + 32gb 3600c18

12600kf seems a decent value atm

 

but i don’t think 32GB of ram is worth it at this price point

 

And I’d take a 7800XT over a 4070, it just seems the better value and long term option.

newegg only says 5 years for labor and parts

Whist for the GF3 it says 10 years for both labor and parts

 

That’s just neweggs parts and labor. The manufacturers warranty which you get as well, is 10 years.

Welp the gf3 is only a little more and offers abit of extra wattage so id still go with that, but good to know the amp series actually has a 10 year warranty, they just do a really bad job of actually advertising it though

Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  ($96.99 @ Newegg) 

But this is absolutely not worth buying at that price and its also got a 7 year warranty, atleast get the rm or rmx if you wanna overspend on corsair psus so youll atleast have a 10 year warranty

 

Btw the be quiet 12m 850w is at 89$ (the one in my list) and it has a 10 year warranty and more wattage
