Name of competitors is not allowed under forum rules so you may want to edit the cooler name.

Do not get an 11900k , stupidely power hungry for the performance it gives. Look for a system with a 12700k imho, no real reason to go for 11th gen and a Ryzen 5800x/5700x would be preferable to a 11900k.

What do you mean by power hungry? Is there a big difference between the 11th gen and 12th?

12th gen can use a lot of power when it is doing productivety tasks such as blender but it is surprisingly efficient when gaming. 12th gen was a significant step up in performance over 11th gen and it went from the advice being ignore 11th gen and get Ryzen 5000 chips to get 12th gen Alderlake. It is a return to form for Intel and is a far better choice than an 11900k which is generally considered to be the worst chip in the 11th gen due to its poor performance/Watt.

If you tell us the sort of budget you are thinking of spending we can spec up a prebuild for you to consider.

You may also want to consider waiting a month for AMD to release AM5. This may drive down prices on Intel chips and save you money. There is also the insane deals on AMD gpus at the moment , do you really want an Nv card ?


That is an insane deal for a card that will beat a 3080ti in every benchmark that does not have ray tracing.
