m looking to build my first PC - main use will be games like football manager and tasks like video editing in filmora and non-professional music production using Ableton for my DAW.
so far I've chose to go with the following:
CPU - i5-12600k
not sure if I should go for a cheaper 12th gen like i3-12100 but chose i5-12600k because I think is will help with quicker rendering in filmora and general multitasking. If i go for i3-12100F and a cheapish GPU would that be better that i5-12600k integrated GPU?
Motherboard - Gigabye Z690 Gaming x DDR4 ATX
Went with DDR4 over DDR5 because the price of DDR5 seems so much more and I think for what i need DDR4 is fine. Could I got for a cheaper B660 here?
RAM - OLOy 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3600 CL18
was debating on whether I need 32GB and or if I should go for 2 x 8GB. Also not sure how much difference CL16 vs CL 18 makes. Another option for RAM would be Corsair Vengance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3200 CL 16 for around the same price.
Cooler - ID-Cooling SE-226-XT LGA 1700 compatible 6 Heatpipes
PSU - EVGA 850 GQ
SSD - Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB M.2-2280
wasnt sure what to go for here or if this is good enough/could cut cost here?
Case - a bit confused with which case to go for and how many fans I'll need?
