Consider building AdviceRecommend parts for your initial DIY project.
I’m just starting out with building computers and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Everything seems a bit confusing at first. But I have some basic knowledge of specs because I recently replaced my gaming laptop with a desktop. I’m putting it together as I learned it’s usually more affordable and reliable than buying a ready-made unit.
Here are the details I have:

I’m wondering if everything on the list will work perfectly together. My main concern is the power supply unit. I’m not sure if I got a suitable PSU, as I was trying to keep costs low while still getting something decent.
Additionally, I’m curious about whether the CPU matches the GPU well and if there might be any bottlenecks. I also want to know if these components are suitable right now or if there are better options available, especially within a budget. There’s also a chance I could add something extra to improve performance or value. Thanks.
The board isn't suited for that unlocked CPU because of its inadequate VRM design, which will cause thermal throttling. Consider selecting a more suitable power supply unit.

I shared two versions, the second one contains the 12600KF. If you require integrated graphics, then replace that cpu with the 12600K.
I understand. I’m not relying on integrated graphics since I’ll be using my GPU, the 6800 Xe. Regarding the i5 12600f recommendation, I feel it doesn’t match the performance of the 12600k. Are there more powerful CPUs available, similar to the 12600k, that fit with the motherboard I selected? Or should I consider a different motherboard?
The 12600K with integrated graphics matches the 12600KF in all aspects. Both use the same CPU, which is powerful and won’t limit your GPU performance.
