Questionmy pc build
hi folks:
I put together these parts for a pc and wanted to have you guys critique it for me. I'm just a everyday user nothing special and I play games. My video is 1080p. I left out the power supply
cause I haven't decided if a 750w is good enough or if I need to go higher so there isn't so much of a power draw on the PSU. I feel like some of the parts are an overkill for I will be using it
for but that's ok with me. It's been 8 years since I built my last and I'm not for sure the cl 6000 memory is too much. 3200 was good enough back then. Here is a link to what I selected. If I need to post each one separately, someone yell. Thanks ahead.

750W works well for that project. However, you should avoid pairing two M.2 NVMe SSDs with a B760 board because of the restricted PCIe lane capacity.
Here are some suggestions that fit your budget while offering extra durability thanks to the VRAM count.
The mentioned component is scheduled for launch within the next 10 to 12 days, if not sooner.

Coming in July
No requirement for an AIO given the CPU's low power draw; this cooler is a five-pipe model that comfortably handles the processor. It’s currently out of stock on PC Partpicker but can be found on Amazon. No concerns about clearance since it’s a single tower unit.

The 120mm Arctic fan fits snugly inside the back panel of that case for effective exhaust.

You could proceed as planned:
My thoughts:
Avoid cutting corners, consider adding $25 more for a 13400 with integrated graphics.
Testing becomes smoother with integrated, it really helps when you encounter GPU problems.
This chip isn’t very powerful and should come with an Intel stock cooler.
I’d be interested in giving it a try to see what happens.
Under heavy use, the fan could become noisy.
If cooling is a concern, a high-quality thermalright cooler for $40 is worth considering:
Thermalright PS120SE CPU Air Cooler, 7 Heat pipes CPU Cooler,Dual 120mm TL-C12B V2 PWM Fan, AGHP 4.0 Technilogy, S-FDB Bearing, Suitable for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200, PC Cooler - Newegg.com
Purchase the Thermalright PS120SE CPU Air Cooler, 7 Heat pipes CPU Cooler,Dual 120mm TL-C12B V2 PWM Fan, AGHP 4.0 Technilogy, S-FDB Bearing, designed for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200, PC Cooler with quick delivery and excellent customer support. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll see the difference at Newegg!

It should include sufficient paste.
At first, I’d install a single 2tb m.2 SSD for both Windows and apps.
Eventually, once storage is fuller, there will be more choices to expand.
750w works adequately. However, the 13400 supports stronger GPUs, so I might consider upgrading to 850w.
Upgrading from 750w to 850w usually involves only a small extra cost.
For instance, a Seasonic focus GM-750w with a 7-year warranty costs $130:

The 850w model is priced at $147.
Corsair RMx 750w with a 10-year warranty is $120:

Thanks Lafong.. I can switch the CPU to 13400 without any issues. I think adding graphics to the CPU could assist in troubleshooting if the video card fails. I'm not completely committed to water cooling, but I thought it might be a better choice.
My budget is around $2000, and I didn't want to overspend beyond what I needed. Right now I play D4, Red Dead, a bit of Star Fleet Command, and some golf on Steam.
More than what I required brings up the issue of what is truly necessary... compared to what you might desire.
You have the freedom to shape all these details.
You now own 347 items dedicated to CPU and liquid coolers, with 140 focused on coolers.
I’d reallocate that 347 by leaving out liquid cooling unless there’s a compelling reason to keep it.
Right now you can purchase a 13500 for 248 at Newegg.
A 13600K is available for 300 to 320 units, though prices fluctuate in that range.
The CPU remains the key component; stronger CPUs extend the time before upgrades are needed.
You can maintain adequate cooling for a 13500 or 13600K unit using air for 50 hours or more... I’m not sure how much concern temperature could cause.
Why_Me here, I wasn't familiar with the 4060-TI with 16g model. All my previous info was about the 8g version and assumed it would work fine. I considered the 3060 with 16g but a review I read suggested the 4060 is superior. I'm planning to switch to the focus2 case after watching some videos. It seems a bit smaller than a standard ATX, so changing it could help avoid any issues. As a WD enthusiast, I'll stick with their 2TB models. I'll replace the AIO cooler with the one that comes with the CPU for the box cooler. If temperatures become a problem, I can upgrade to something better. Honestly, I'm not very familiar with MSI's quality, have always preferred Asus, so I'm unsure if this board matches their standard. But thank you for your advice.
Thanks for your reply, Lafong. I've decided to switch from the AIO cooler to the box cooler that comes with the CPU. I'm happy with the 13400 model.
Thanks, Geofelt. I plan to replace the AIO cooler with the box cooler included. If necessary, I can upgrade later. I'll check the PSUs too—seems the price gap between the 750 and 850 isn't significant enough to worry about. Thanks for the links. Also, I'll reduce the number of 2.5-inch drives to one. I was considering two at 4TB, but I wouldn't need another if it's not essential. Thanks again for your advice.
Thank you for your feedback. I corrected my list except for the 4060 Ti being 8g instead of 16 and will wait for the 16g version.
New list is:

I’ll also look into a MSI motherboard for comparison with the Asus board.
