good build?

[_y0sh]

Budget (including currency): 1600$ CAD

Country: canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: games and multitasking 

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): is this a good build for 1440p gaming? (planning to buy gpu used)

That board and cpu cooler won't handle that cpu when it hits turbo boost. You will suffer thermal throttling.  Here's a few changes to your build. Low profile RAM so that it doesn't impede that dual tower cpu cooler and btw the difference between DDR4 3200 and 3600 for these Intel builds is slim at best.

You cut corners with that 7 phase board and rinky dink cpu cooler in order to fit that gpu in your build.

It’s not rinky dink.  It’s sufficient for gaming on a 12600k.  If you think that’s rinky dink you haven’t seen what people were using for cooling 10 years ago with chips that ran half as fast and just as hot.   What’s the issue that a 7-phase board would cause?  That’s not cutting corners, that’s getting the best gaming experience for your money.

 

Not every system needs a dual rad cooler.

Cheap boards and unlocked Intel cpu's don't play well together.

What’s the specific point your making with this as it relates to OP’s use case?  12900k getting the board hot in a long cinebench test is not relevant.

12600kf + 4070s + 32gb 6400c32

 

board can still overclock non k 12th gen and k 12th-14th gen via bclk and it has pretty good vrms and i/o for the price

 

much better cooler, if you want rainbows on it theres the se argb version for 3$ more

 

much cheaper ssd, doesnt matter for just gaming anyways and all the dram ssds are quite abit pricier

 

guaranteed 10000+ capable hynix a dies on the 6400c32 sticks so you wont be needing to replace these tilll 32gb is not enough

 

4070s, should perform alot better than the 3080 whilst drawing less power and 2gb extra vram, if you wanna go for a used gpu you may be able to get a used 3090 for a similar price to the 4070s which is a better card with double the vram albiet consumes a ton of power

 

decently priced psu with a 10 year warranty instead of being a warrantyless unit with only 7 years like that rme or god forbid only 5 years or less

 

its now matx form factor so less desk space taken up but theres also good atx cases for cheap like the g360a if you still wish to go for an atx case

welp since you two are arguing for whatever reason im just gonna put an end to it

 

hilariously overpriced boards

weak or bad value coolers

still on ddr4 and not ddr5

warrantyless overpriced psus

 

 

boards wise just get the cheapest thing thats capable of running the cpu and meeting your requirements, in this case i went with the b760m pg riptide due to its low cost and very beefy vrms, i was initially considering a ddr4 board only to realize a futureproof ddr5 6400c32 kit was only an extra 40-45$ and all those <150$ boards ddr4 boards have trash vrms not to mention the b760m pg riptide and its very beefy vrms and k cpu overclocking capabilities was going for dirt cheap

 

cooler wise basically the cheapest dual tower available usually the peerless assassin and its variants, any less and you are barely saving any money, any more and you are barely gaining anything performance wise though if you want a cheap thermalright aio for aesthetics only thats a valid choice too if leftover budget is available

 

ssd wise cheapest thing with the highest specs or best value, prefferably dram and/or gen4 (though dram > dramless gen4), doesnt matter that much anyways especially not ssd branding since the components are all from the same few manufacturers (ex phison, silicon motion, etc.)

 

and i geniunely dont understand why you wouldnt go for a 10 year warranty psu if it isnt that much more if not the same price as whatever warrantyless unit

 

now stop arguing =p
