I don't really feel comfortable changing any of those things. So all the RAMs I have 2 sticks - Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB 2400MHz CL16 DDR4 DIMM BLS8G4D240FSC 1 stick - Crucial CT8G4DFS824A, DDR4, 8 GB, 2400 MHz 1 stick - Ballistix Sport LT 8GB DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) this one is causing all...

I put together today all the new parts, everything seems to work fine except for one ram stick. If I use it, the new mobo won't boot ... It's really strange. If I put that one RAM stick in by itself, everything boots up, but If i try to combine it with the rest of the three, it won't

Received already 12400F and waiting on nvme SDD and B760M. Btw, do I need a custom cooler from the get-go? As the 12400f came with the stock one. As i understand 12400f has a turbo boost, which should be enabled in the bios by default right?

Yup, sorry i meant B760M + 12400F.

What do you think about me going with Intel Core i5-12400F + Asus TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS first + ssd + reusing other components, and then upgrading the rest of them? I think it would still be a good boost, as i was mainly CPU limited

Thanks for the replies! What about using Intel-Core i5-12600KF https://www.dateks.lv/en/cenas/procesori-intel/758312-intel-core-i5-12600kf-6p-4e-16t-3-70-ghz-20mb-cache-lga1700-125w-?q=Intel%20Core%20i5-12600 Any advantages to upping to a better CPU in this case?

My current cooler is: Deepcool Gammaxx 400 Universal CPU Cooler XDC-GAMMAXX400 I don't really like liquid, prefer the old way, too easy to mess something up. I have no problem with 13000s if it will be enough for a few years of gaming. Like the old setup, wasn't the best, but could game 1080@60...

Thanks for the suggestion! Updated my post! @Lutfij basically everything? For now, GPU works well, the plan is to get a good base platform from which to upgrade it further later. (MOBO + CPU) and upgrade GPU, RAM, PSU, later on.

Updated origin post with this info

Hello everyone! It's time for another PC upgrade, and I'd like to ask for some help and recommendations from you. A few years ago, you already assisted me with advice, and I built a pretty decent rig that has held up well until now. Even BG3 runs smoothly! The goal is not too ambitious...

For sizing, I have a neat case rn (Full tower (EATX)), so mobo size is not a factor here. For cooling, I'm using a custom cooler already (Deepcool Gammaxx 400 Universal CPU Cooler XDC-GAMMAXX400), I think it will suffice? Ok, so i will go for Asus PRIME Z690-P WIFI D4 + 12600K . And what do...

Local offers are 12700 + Asus PRIME Z690M-PLUS = 372,66 + 211,57 € 12700k + Asus PRIME Z690M-PLUS = 435 + 211,57 € 12600K + B660M-A WiFi D4 = 312,11 + 161 € Money differences here are not an issue, if you say that for gaming wise 12600K +B660 would outperform 12700k + Asus PRIME Z690M-PLUS...

Thanks for the info and detailed explanation! I ran those games with MSI afterburner and most of the time CPU was at 100% utilization, when GPU was at 40-60% only, so that means, CPU is the bottleneck there. Im thinking of going with i7-12700 + Asus PRIME Z690M-PLUS combo. What kind of PSU...

BTW, the price differences aren't so big between i7-12700s, is it maybe worth adding extra 60 EUROS for a better model? Would the performance increase be worth it? i7-12700 370 Euros i7-12700KF 420 euros I7-12700K 435 euros

Ok, gotcha! Thanks! What PSU would you suggest to be powerful/optimal enough for this new build? And yes I have a 1TB SSD, should have mentioned that in the specs list.
