Help with building a gaming PC from scratch
Help with building a gaming PC from scratch
So I plan to assemble a gaming PC tailored for a seamless 1080p performance, and we've selected these parts. I'm checking their compatibility thoroughly, though I'm keen to be certain. Plus, I want to help him construct it from scratch once the components arrive. Could you share some advice and cautions about building a PC?

When seeking advice on new builds or upgrades, consider the guidelines provided here. This response was adapted from a previous discussion about asking for upgrade suggestions. Forums. takes into account your location, purchase preferences, and budget. We operate in the USA but receive interest from various regions, which is why we ask for more specific details. PCPartPicker can assist in organizing the information you need to evaluate your setup effectively.
Is the RAM 1 or 2 sticks? If it's 1 stick, get a 2x8GB combination, as that will help with performance.
As far as building it goes, there isn't any specific order to install parts in, but I think you should at least do these first:
Prepare the case for what you'll need
Install the PSU and figure out how you want to route the cables
Sure, I can help with that. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

In that price range you’ll find a suitable option:

This motherboard isn’t worth your effort; you’d need to invest twice as much.

Phantom Gaming 4 offers a better board, but it requires an updated CPU to work with the BIOS.
Overall, this purchase seems to cost a lot for a subpar system. I’d prefer to save more. Spending $1000 on such a low-quality machine is a poor use of your funds. It’s quite expensive.
If you were to invest more (6,761.37 leu), you could acquire:

This model offers decent performance but falls short in resolution compared to 1440p. If the price remains prohibitive, consider swapping the 7900GRE for a 4060 GPU – it’s half the cost and half the power, still delivering solid 1080p results.
The total comes to 5,049.81 LEV.

Do you think there's much point in cooling a 12400F with an aftermarket cooler? The intel stock one is going to do the job. At worst it gets a little buzzy but for the price, it's fine.
Not sure i agree with you on the Corsair. The RMe is a good model but pricy -

If i wanted a cheaper PSU, i'd rather have one of the MSi MAG A-BN models.
The Corsair RM is neither good nor cheap. It's ok, not bad but i think the MSis are just as good except the Gold rating.
Otherwise it's a nice intel build. A little on the cheap side, but that was the point i think.
