Please help me build my first pc

[Lola mina]

Budget (including currency): around 1200$ for the pc, 400$ for hdd storage (around 32 tera)

Country: Israel 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I'm a programmer so I think I might need an i7 cpu for the cores. I haven't played games before but I whant to start. Thinking of starting with "the last of us".

 

Plus I need at least 16 tera of storage, so instead of building an home nas I'll put 4 drives of smr in raid 10 configuration.

 

Other details

That what I've come up with. Feel free to rost this, I'm quite new at this.

@Lola mina Looks like a perfectly fine system for the most part. Two suggestions:

1. Get at least a 2tb NVMe SSD for OS, games and tools. 1 Tb can fill up pretty fast with AAA games and professional tools and utilities.
2. Get at least 32 GB of RAM, again for professional use you'll likely find yourself restricted with only 16GB.

EDIT: Also depending on what you're doing with all that RAID 10 space, you may want even more than 32gb of RAM if you have to load a lot of working files off those HDDs.

That board will not handle an unlocked 13 gen i7. The VRM's on that board are horrible. You want a locked cpu for those B760 boards so that you don't suffer thermal throttling.

Thank you so much for the helpful and detailed reply.

Isn't that more logical to upgrade the motherboard instead?

I mostly agree with Why_Me, the only thing i'd change is to keep the iGpu in your CPU. I personally have had too many situations where an iGpu would have been great for debugging and I didn't have one, so I try to always have one now.

As far as the K vs non-K I'd say unless you want to actively overclock your CPU then just get the non-K. The performance difference is small between the two unless your overclocking(or under volting for power savings.
