Consider building a new version?
Consider building a new version?
Hey Guys, here are some gaming PC build ideas within your budget.
My current setup:
1) CPU: i7-13700/i7-13700F ($425)
2) GPU: Gigabyte Gaming RTX OC 4080 ($1450)
3) Mobo: Prefer B760, no overclocking planned, but want PCIe 5 support (budget $300-400)
Would it be better to go with Z-series if overclocking isn't needed?
4) RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 5200 MHz ($100)
5) PSU: Corsair RM1000e ($180)
6) SSD: 2TB WD Black SN850X NVMe ($190)
7) Cooler: Simple model should suffice, staying within $150
Let me know if you need any changes!
Where do you find yourself and which platform do you favor for buying? What is the construction of your case? If you opt for a non-K SKU processor, the B series chipset works perfectly. You should still be able to damage the RAM as intended. The stock cooler remains sufficient or should be a bit more robust than it is.
Even though I refer to these sites for guidance, I plan to purchase and obtain the build setup from a local shop.

Regarding the B760 versus Z790, is there any other drawback besides the OC?
My present cabinet model is CM MB530P.
Thanks.
I7-13700 is a secured processor. The only adjustments you’ll make are related to RAM. Don’t treat overclocking as a flexible option, especially for models exceeding 13600k—those default settings are far superior to what most hobbyists or experts can achieve. There’s no benefit in increasing core count beyond six.
The 13700 stands out as an excellent CPU. It achieves higher scores than nearly all 13600k+OC models while using less power. Managing temperatures is significantly simpler.
Ignore overclocking entirely.
Your board selection depends on your priorities. Higher-end B boards offer most features of Z boards except for OC support. Pick the one that matches your requirements. Consider PCIe headers, USB ports, USB-C, fan headers, RGB/Argb headers, network controller type, audio jacks, Wi-Fi, and budget. Compile a list of essentials and another of preferences. Identify several compatible boards, then eliminate any that don’t meet your needs.
You’ll end up with a board or three that satisfies all your requirements, with B or Z being irrelevant except for cost.

This MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI is built with Intel 13th Gen Core processors and features performance-enhancing specs to surpass challenges. It includes Core boost, Memory Boost, Premium Thermal Solution, and M.2 Shield Frozr for optimal operation.
More details can be found on the official website.
Your plan is reasonable.
My thoughts:
Try the stock RM1 laminar cooler first.
I used one on a 13100 and it is so quiet that during testing I did not notice that I had connected it to a pump header and it was running full blast.
Buy the non F suffix version. If you ever have a graphics card version it is a lifesaver.
And, you also get quick sync with it:

Do not get excited about fast sequential benchmarks of pcie ssd devices.
The benchmarks are for sequential processing at high queue depths.
Most of what we do is small random I/O so sequential speed means little.
These guys could not tell the difference:

You will find a MATX B760 motherboard to be more reasonably priced.
Everything made by man has a failure rate, that includes the cpu. Some of those failures were in the igpu, that's tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars lost. So Intel renamed them 'F' and sold them at a reduced price. And ppl bought them, so now Intel will intentionally burn an igpu by voltage spike, just to meet contract quotas on F cpus as well as sell any igpu rejects.
Can't blame them if otherwise it's a perfectly good cpu, no point in junking a whole bunch of otherwise perfectly good silicon. AMD has been doing it since the FX, a FX 6300 is nothing more than an FX 8300 cpu with either a failed node or one that's intentionally fried because it wouldn't hold the specs etc.
Either way, there's nothing wrong with an F, as long as you are aware that if you have any gpu issues of any sort, you are way up the creek with no paddle, a leaky boat and no bucket.
The price difference between an F and non-F is seriously cheap insurance, you may never need it, but it's better to have and not need, than to need and not have.
The PCIe bandwidth in this video card is essentially irrelevant.
