Posted January 22 Budget (including currency): ~1150$ (400 000 HUF) Country: Hungary Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games and college work Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Hello guys. So i have a really old rig (i7 4790, GTX 750Ti), and i want to upgrade it in the next month, within a budget, but still want to future proof a bit. I don't have to by peripherals or monitor cause i have a Lenovo Thinkvision T27hv-20, so i want to play in 2k 75hz. I picked out a list of parts, which i think will work, but to be 100% sure i wanted to ask you guys what you think about it. I already bought a used asus 3070 dual OC edition, for 340$, so my build is around that, and the PSU as new. So my build looks like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nvgjL9 . If you have anything wrong with it please tell me cause i'm a beginner with pc builds, i built the computer i have, but these parts are a bit higher price than i already have. Thanks in advance for everyone who helps me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to worry about updating any bios if you ever decide to upgrade to a 13 gen cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna look into it, the cost is fine now, i was rather interested in the build itself, it's compatibility and performance . Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

I was checking out prices on other places and came across on ebay there is multiple new 12600kf processors at the same price as the cpu i choose. It has 30 day money back guarantee. What do you think should i buy from there or not?

Posted January 27 Author 10 minutes ago, Why_Me said: That looks to be a decent deal ^^ It’s like the same price of parts picker gives me from newegg but they doesn’t ship to hungary so i think it’s legit and it costs the same as a 12400f in hungary. Also i looked into the mobo thing, do i need ddr5 or is it not worth it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need a Z790 board for that but to be honest those cpu's are clocked high out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 28 Author Just now, Why_Me said: Because they don't make a locked 12 gen i5 that will boost as high as the 12600K / KF. ohh so i understand, the k version is already “overclocked” the overclock you can do is just fine tuning.

The i5 K/KF not only boost higher than the 12400F for example but they have those four e-cores to handle background task such as Discord for example.
