Asrock Steel Legend Build

[pangster]

I built my PC a couple of years ago:

• CPU: Intel 12600K
• MOTHERBOARD: Asrock Z690 Steel Legend
• RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR4 3600
• COOLER: 2024 NZXT Kraken Elite 280mm RGB
• CASE: Lian Li O11 Mini (white)
• CASE FANS: Cooler Master Halo v2
• GPU: Zotac Gaming AMP RTX 3060 12Gb white

Overall, been pretty happy with it.. have been thinking about upgrading my GPU for a while now and was looking for something to fit into the aesthetics of the build. And then I stumbled across the Asrock B580 Intel Arc Steel Legend GPU - ordered it from OC on 17/12/2024 and still waiting on it! LOL! - once it arrives I'll post up some before and after images and update on it's performance.

Not much of an upgrade compared to your 3060 I'd cancel it and get something better .

That's really not much of a jump from a 3060, at the minimum I'd be looking at 4070s or 7800xt tier cards.

Very poor 'upgrade' tbh, more like a sidegrade.

Id be looking for a 7800xt or 7900gre to make it more worthwhile

Might actually be a downgrade given the apparent state of Intel's driver overhead.

Yes, I'm afraid I agree with the other guys in this thread. More of a sidegrade at best. Are you still able to cancel the order?

It ain't perfect, but I'd be keeping the 3060 for sure!
