Hello, I'm checking if anyone has shared the components I purchased and how they're performing in my builds. (If you use a different RAM brand or PSU... it doesn't really matter, I focus more on the motherboard, cooler, CPU, GPU, and case.)

CPU: I5-12600K
Motherboard: MSI Pro Z690-A with WiFi and DDR5
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
GPU: RTX 3080 (Lenovo by MSI)
PSU: XPG Cybercore 1000W Platinum
RAM: DDR5 4800
Case: Mid-range budget, aiming for good airflow and about 170-180mm clearance for the cooler.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to connect with other builders.

Ensure you've purchased all components, then disregard this message. RTX 3080 from Lenovo via MSI? Is it an OEM GPU? If not, unusual phrasing. OEM GPUs often suffer from poor cooling, so I’d steer clear of high-power models. NH-D15 for a 12600K seems excessive; AK620 offers better value, significantly cheaper, and would have provided a much higher performance for the price you’d have received with a 13600KF+AK620. DRR5 4800? It might be wiser to opt for DDR4.

It's an OEM GPU with three fans—it was a good deal. I'm not a tech pro, just someone who needs a better cooling solution eventually. I usually go for more power than necessary when it comes to keeping things cool.

Plus, a 13600kf is twice the cost of a 12600k here... : / but, yeah, it would be nice.
