what parts do you need?
do you need just the tower or do you also require the monitor and/or peripherals?

ratbag908 · 21 Jun 2024 at 17:44

I already have a monitor but would these parts be good
could you build around a i5 12600kf and a rx 7900 gre

i've seen your spec on another thread and at £1030 i think it's a waste of money because you're stuck with a non-oc board and ddr4 ram and an entry level psu

this is a bit overbudget, but probably what i'd get inc the 7900gre:
My basket at OcUK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 5 7600 Six Core 5.10GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DW-AM) = £172.99
1 x MSI Pro B650M-A WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 Micro-ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-378-MS) = £160.00
1 x TeamGroup Delta RGB 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C30 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (FF3D532G6000HC30DC01) (SKU: MY-0B8-TG) = £109.99
1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 GRE Gaming 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-SPR-01588) = £499.99
1 x WD Black SN770 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS100T3X0E) (SKU: HD-58F-WD) = £64.99
1 x Kolink Inspire Series K6 ARGB Micro-ATX Case - Black (SKU: CA-047-KK) = £29.99
1 x CORSAIR RM Series RM650 Fully Modular 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply (SKU: POW-CRS-01425) = £79.99

Total: £1,117.94 (includes delivery: £0.00)

the ryzen 7600 is less power hungry and cooler than the 12600kf, whilst being faster in gaming workloads
so...AM5 + DDR5 with an option to upgrade your CPU for something better down the line
sn770 is a faster ssd than the sn580
better psu
