Finished the rebuild last week. Working great, everyone, thanks!

Alright, ordering the 12600k and MSI's b760. Looks like the Gigabyte one is not really available.

Alright all, I have the CPU cooler now, and will likely buy the i5-12600k on holiday sale for $153 now. It seems the motherboard is no longer available? Is there a good alternative/good sale?

OK thanks both! I would go with the i5-12400F and MSI PRO B660M-A. It seems my RAM should be fine for it, and the CPU does come with a cooler, unless you think for $20 the one listed above would be much better? How would I determine power supply aging? It is five and a half years old now, but I...

Hi and thanks. I forget exactly what I added, but my installed memory is now at 32GB. Otherwise I've only upgraded the monitor and external hard drive, which isn't too relevant here. I could spend what you listed for sure.

Hey all, so I received a ton of good help five years ago in building this PC (2). I have since increased the amount of RAM, but haven't really done anything else. It's working pretty well for the most part, but with Windows 7 no longer supported, I think I need an upgrade in order to be able to...

So I enabled the PS2 simulator and it worked! Thanks all for taking your time to give all the advice!

I reinstalled it, it looks fine. Arrow matching the arrow, good thermal paste spread, everything locked in fine... What's wrong???
