Hi guyss! I create my budget pc build 'cause i'd like to upgrade my currently pc.

My budget is 900$ approximately.

If you could review my build and write me what can i change there I will be really greatfull! Thank you in advance!

My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N2b6bL

(I will add SSD from my currently pc to new pc so I chose only 500 gb./ In future I will buy M2 storage, but I have limit low budget for now)

Peace out!

Do you live near a Micro Center? They often have some pretty great bundles (motherboard + CPU + RAM) available.

If you are going to go with the 12600KF, you're going to need a much better heatsink. Consider getting this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Gp...tom-spirit-120-se-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-ps120se

See my edited post.

For example: https://www.microcenter.com/product...ies-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle
Ryzen 7 7700X, B650 board with WiFi, and 32 GB DDR5 for $400
--> Would give you some room to upgrade the processor later, if you want, since AM5 may be around for a while

12600KF bundle: https://www.microcenter.com/product...s-v-16gb-ddr4-3200-kit,-computer-build-bundle $250
12700K bundle: https://www.microcenter.com/product...s-v-16gb-ddr4-3200-kit,-computer-build-bundle $300

I think I don't need Wifi in my board. I wonder this is additional costs for me now. I will only remind I have low budget for this build, and for sure I will purchase DDR4

Price difference is usually about $20.

Going DDR 5 now will save you in the future and the Intel options are dead end.

The PA120 cooler will work with either option though for $35 and it handles quite a bit of CPU for a cheap cooler.

Sure. Just pointing out the bundles could be a better value/deal than what you put together. The wifi isn't necessarily an extra cost there.

DDR5 and DDR4 are also pretty comparable in price, so that isn't really a savings.

For GPU, consider a 7700 XT instead of the 4060 Ti. https://www.tomshardware.com/review...20.1316374781.1674610742-651373043.1674610742 (not the be-all-end-all of charts and benchmarks, but a good reference for general performance) - there are a couple that are running for $400: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/video-card/#c=558&sort=price&page=1

OP never confirmed if he's close to a Micro Center, or even in the U.S.

At any rate, the Ryzen 7 7700X bundle is down to $365, one of the best values getting into AM5. It had been at $400 since last summer (with an occasional sale), so it was hard to recommend as some components have gotten cheaper over time.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, MSI B650-P Pro WiFi, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle $364.99

The Intel i5-12600KF bundle (with a different motherboard) has dropped to $233:

My recommendation: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9qy3Jy

Don't go with Intel. It's a dead end. On AM5, you could upgrade to a Zen 5 CPU in 2025 or 2026 and get a crazy speed boost in your games.

Replaced your 8GB card with a 16GB one. VRAM is important going forward. It will help your card stay relevant longer.
