Need assistance with assembling a PC build.
Need assistance with assembling a PC build.
Hi!
This is my initial attempt at assembling a PC, and I’m looking for advice on whether these options would work well. I’m really unsure about compatibility and overall performance, so any guidance would be super helpful. Also, when is the best time to buy PC components? Any thoughts on sales and timing?
Thanks!
Within your budget? Yes, this fits the price range.

I wonder if spending 496 dollars on a cooler for a 13600KF makes sense.
This computer is primarily intended for gaming purposes. If it were used only for gaming, a X3d processor would offer better speed. However, keep in mind that a X3d is essentially a one-size-fits-all solution and other tasks would perform more efficiently on a standard processor. The X3d achieves its speed thanks to a large cache in the main thread. When other processing tasks are introduced, this advantage diminishes. On build 1, the Noctua NH-D15 cooler works well, but I’m unsure if it’s necessary. Moving forward, the RGB fan at 44.5mm would affect the front fan performance. The NH-D15 would still be fine. I prefer purchasing a high-quality power supply with a 10-year warranty and an 850W or higher capacity. On build 2, avoid cutting costs with a low-end F processor. Integrated graphics will eventually pay for themselves. The I5-13700K is a solid gaming option. I wouldn’t opt for an AIO cooler unless space was a constraint or I planned heavy overclocking. Intel chips are designed to run at 100°C for optimal performance. You might see about a 2% boost with a 360AIO; is that worth the investment?
