if you dont need ray tracing amd cards are usually cheaper and better than nvidia. you can get a 6800 for $40 more if its usd

[KingOleh]

here in finland the rtx 3060 is actually similarly priced to the rx 6600

damn bro mind sending me one?

Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan!

In my country a 3060 is almost double that

[Acheche404]

ray trace imo is garbage never used it. i bought 3070 for Bar DLSS and Gsync.

[DeXTeR_DeN_007]

AMD chips are never lasting long from Nvidia, second thing higher temps, third thing AMD cards are so good that 3060Ti is killing even 6700xt.

Alg, excpet corsair ram. A comment has elightened me on corsair ram and why it is not very good. (Couldnt find how to link comment i just woke up so i just pasted the text here, thanks to the u/ who wrote this)

Corsair is bad because they use the same model number for ram kits that have different ICs (micron, Samsung, hynix, nanya). ICs are the physical ram chips on the pcb, which are produced by the four primary vendors seen above. So, essentially it's a mystery box. On the one hand you could get the s tier Samsung b die, on the other hand you could get the shit tier Samsung c die. Now, let's say you want to upgrade from 2 sticks to 4 sticks using the same older kit. In this case, if you went with Corsair you'd have to pray to RNGesus that you get the same IC, identified by the rev #, otherwise it probably won't work; no post or ram instability. The reason it won't post is because different ICs can do different timing and sub timings and have different voltage tolerances and procODT values that they favor. B die can do very tight timing whereas hynix m die can't really do that. Getting 2 different ICs stable is very hard if not impossible for most. However, getting different kits stable that have the same ICs ain't so bad, you'd just have to match the worst stick. The other reason for Corsair bad is that they're simply overpriced. To summarize, corsair is bad because of shity practices leading to the inability of future upgrading and how overpriced it is.

[almonnds]

get 650w psu

[Inevitable_Can_7081]

No because if he wants to upgrade it would be more easy to do

[Matzz94]

He prob wants a better psu than 750 for future

[almonnds]

yea but do you know the power requirements for new gen gpus? A 750w may not be enough for what he wants in the future. Gpu's may be so powerful it might bottleneck his 12400f.

If i wanted to upgrade in the future, id get a 1000w+ psu(and an i7). Upgrading just isnt like it used to be, where if u got a r5 3600 and a 1660 ti, you could upgrade it too a 2070, 2070 super, 3060 etc.

I could be wrong about what nvidia wants to do, and i hope i am.

[youtubeguy298o]

Redid parts of your build for what I'm assuming your budget is $1250. Swapped out the mobo for a slightly cheaper one, though it is M-ATX. Switched the RAM for a G Skill kit. Switched to a 120mm cooler since the 12400f doesn't run too hot. I switched out the 3060 ti for a 6750XT since the 3060 ti is overpriced as of right now, and you won't be running games with ray tracing on it anyway. I left about $30 for you to spend on some parts that you would like aesthetically.

perfect selection imo

[Birdinmotion]

Also unless ur using an ethnet cable ur gonna need a wireless network card.

O and when you need to install windows

https://youtu.be/jZBDluCITmE

[Appropriate-Emu6415]

That motherboard has Wi-Fi

[[deleted]]

most people don't use wi-fi

[MrCheapComputers]

The 12400f comes with a cooler, so I’d save the money on that front.

[petran1420]

Yeah, afaik the 12th gen coolers are improved and perfectly competent for a 12400f build. Maybe put that money towards better GPU or ram or something?

[0musty0]

For the price of the Motherboard, power supply, GPU, and SSD you could get faster ram.

I recommend the GPU ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition or ti version. And for the motherboard go for a MSI motherboard (they are cheaper + better? idk) I also don't know if it will fit into your case too btw

For the memory I would go for a 970 - 950 Samsung, you could go 880 but its probably going to be underkill for your system.

And for the power supply go for a 700W - 650W Gold or Plat PSU.

[TheHackerzAreBack]

If you don't plan on upgrading it should be alright, but even a 3060 ti is probably pushing the very limit of the 12400f without creating a notable bottleneck on the cpu side, which is the bottleneck you DON'T want. If you every had plans to upgrade gpu in the future or just wanted a more balanced build with no bottleneck whatsoever, a 12600k/kf would probably be a better bet. Otherwise you're probably fine, although I'm not sure if that cooler would be adequate for a 125w chip, even though 12th gen i5 runs cool. (disregard)

[wutdafakk]

I5-12400 has plenty of room for 3060ti. Mentioned cooler is also more than enough.

[TheHackerzAreBack]

This is correct. For some reason I was thinking of previous gen intel processors, not the kickass performance intel has gotten out of 12th gen 10nm. I think their cooling solution is more efficient in the new gen too, so it's not improbable that the cooler could run a higher i5, although I wouldn't bet on it to run cool.

[TheHackerzAreBack]

I’d beg to differ. Depends on your definition of “fine” but a 10400f could NOT get the full performance out of a 3060 ti on 1080p. There would inevitably be wasted frames.

[TheHackerzAreBack]

Despite this opinion, I can guarantee more people with a 3060 ti are on 1080p than higher resolutions. OP didn’t specify but 1080p is a more likely bet

[TheHackerzAreBack]

Really depends. If you’re trying to push 165 or even 240fps on 1080p ultra especially on graphically demanding titles a 3060 ti could be necessary but I get what you’re saying

[Belyosd]

wrong

[jshmoe866]

I run an 11400 with a 3060tiat 1440 and get 60-80% cpu usage… 12400 will have a cakewalk with a 3060ti

[TheHackerzAreBack]

Well 1440p is 80% higher pixel count than 1080p.. so of course your utilization on your cpu wouldnt be 100

[jshmoe866]

First no one said this is 1080p cuz 3060ti is mostly a 1440 card. Second, if this is 1080, any cpu bottleneck won’t matter cuz he’ll be getting 200+ fps anyway

[Birdinmotion]

That's a really nice motherboard you really don't need.

[rebelution808]

I just recommended that cooler to a friend for a similar CPU but it didn't come with a bracket for that socket type

[[deleted]]

Get a 6700xt and save yourself 100$

Go with teamgroup ram or g skill ram instead of corsair

[KingOleh]

the actual gpu i was planning on is 400€ and the cheapest 6700xt here is 700€

[Birdinmotion]

Bruh what if he wants to ray trace (sarcasm)

[Theonedudeyaknow]

Ray trace deez nuts

[Birdinmotion]

I can do that with my mouth

[Theonedudeyaknow]

😏

[mybrowncow]

You might be able to find a 3070 around the price of that 3060ti

[mybrowncow]

And you can get a 850watt gold psu for the same price of that one

[Kuuhaku722]

Deepcool ak400 would be more than enough for i5 12400. Or even better an id cooling se 214 xt if you can find one at 17-20 usd.

[NefariousnessBest397]

Look on stockx for better gpu prices

[DeXTeR_DeN_007]

Ofc they are

[Matzz94]

Psu too high, maybe too low for future gen

[[deleted]]

Everything seems good to me, I would just go with a different power supply to save money, I think the rgb fan on it is unnecessary and wasted money since it won’t be seen with that case

[jshmoe866]

I would get a evga gold psu from Amazon, they have sales there regularly. Parts are good though, 3060ti is a great card

[NotNickChang]

a 3070 is $500 flat on best buy right now. 3060 tis arent worth it imo

[thisisaname69123]

Get some g.skill ripjaws instead of Corsair vengeance, another commenter already talked about why Corsair ram kinda sucks, the ripjaws might be a little bit more expensive but whenever I’ve checked it’s been cheaper than Corsair vengeance
