11400f advice

W1lders · 28 Apr 2021 at 12:10

Hi
Can someone in the know please advise me on a build I’m looking at
Ideally a 11400f processor, not sure on mobo and memory? There seems so many choices!!! 16gb ideally
Would I benefit from a liquid aio cooler or would the stock fan be ok and quiet enough? not fussed on oc’ing at the moment, just want to build the basics first

Additionall thinking of adding a 3060 graphics card... is this a decent gaming combo?

Mite be worth getting the 11400 if you dont have a gpu and no poinft going aio just a £30 range cpu cooler to keep it quiet.

No overclocking unlass you get a k chip with a z motherboard.

The 3060 is a good option but what resoloution are you gaming at ?

Can I request a k chip?
Which mobo and memory would anyone suggest? Been a while since I looked at hardware
not done any gaming since bf4 came out so been a few years! still running an old school 6800 quad core processor!

Going k chip and z motherboard will be more cost.

Couple more questions, wifi needed do you want integrated graphics till you get a gpu so you can use your system.

Rgb lights ?

No rgb lights
Don’t mind a little more cost if it’s worth it
I was hoping to get the 3060 at the same time

No chance unless you get a pre built system.

No 11400k so gone 11600k with igpu till ypu get a gpu.

750w psu covers you up to a 3080 .

If your not to fussed about overclocking theres money to be saved.

Are you looking for a budget build? Also the prices above this post is way too overkill.

W1lders · 28 Apr 2021 at 14:24

I guess mid range...
Annoying about the 3060
Are they that hard to get hold of?!

And should I look at 590 490 or 390 motherboards?

Temp.sgk · 28 Apr 2021 at 14:48

Neither, get a cheap b560 motherboard instead.

No questions/comments of the above build ?

You cant overclock the cpu on a b560 motherboard .

W1lders · 28 Apr 2021 at 18:27

Hmmm I guess maybe I should be looking at a pre built machine due to no the gfx card availability

I was going to reuse my case, ssd and psu

Annoying as I was looking forward to
Building it myself....

W1lders · 28 Apr 2021 at 18:28

Would definetly swap the 3060 to the 3060ti since it's only 20 quid more while giving a good bump to fps.

Agreed, the 3060 is a waste of time if you can get a ti
