After concluding I will really stay with air coolers, now I'm trying to find out what is a decent option. Is there any info about what I should look into? I'll be looking for those with 140mm fans because of noise, but can still do with 120mm if not possible. As for the heatsink, is there some...

Very good info. I had to do the second part specially. Also I had to swap the ram slots.

I suppose I still had water coolers in mind and reading into the water cooler sticky, I feel like that won't be the most adequate option for me right now. (I'm already having thermal throtling issues using an old intel stock fan that came with an i7 4790k, according to HWinfo and that's just...

Thanks for the headsup about the sticky, I'm a little overwhelmed with info but gonna start reading asap! Instead of getting a cooler based on the case, I've been thinking about getting a case based on the cooler. Main goal is to get a case that lets me put at around 4 additional fans. Never got...

I wound up having to change my case and also cooler to finish the current build: RTX 3060 TI i5 13600k Asus B660M-PLUS D4 Kingston SNVS500G MVMe 4x 3.5'' HDDs that can be reduced how to only 2x. Cooler I had was a RR-212X-20PM-R1 that won't fit that mobo (unless I get a backplate adapter?)...

UPDATE: My B660M-Plus D4 came with a sticker on the box saying that it was ready for the 13th gen. It was quite well placed, as it seems to be part of the box. It was great for the cost-benefit, but I hope this is the last time I have to deal with an Asus MOBO (Gigabyte feels like a dream) I...

Thanks, @--SID-- ! I went on with the RM850x But that info will certainly be useful on BR forums.

Thank you so much for your time and help! I'm set on the 850W PSU. I'll go research a little more about the motherboard issue and hopefully not have to make another thread. I'll pick your first reply as best answer for this thread, as it might be the most useful for others.

Would the 850W affect much of my electricity bill compared to the 650W one? Or is that a thing of the past and these PSUs take only the required Voltage/Current?

Alright. The websites I'm using are: www.kabum.com.br - Got all the other parts here already. www.pichau.com.br - Where I found the 650W RMx and a RM850x that's tempting cause of price www.terabyteshop.com.br - Has the best deals, little stock, at least it barely lasts www.amazon.com.br -...

I'm in Brazil, that's great info. Let's see if I can find a better deal there. I also just found out I'll most likely have to flash the bios of my mobo for 13th gen, so I'll have to pay some shop to do it for me, as I got no 12th gen.

Hard to pass on indeed, but I guess I should have mentioned I'm outside of the US right now... It doesn't seem like I'll find a better deal than the one mentioned over here. PS.: Turns out that recommendation was just perfect for a buddy I got in the US!

I'm finally getting an upgrade, but would like to spend as little as possible. I'm getting a little burned out from being out of the loop since my last upgrade of 2016... So, straight to the point: I currently have the CS650M PSU that, while it never gave any other problem and works perfectly...

Turns out that in my case, it was a dead processor. Thanks for the help, @Colif

Thanks for bringing up something I didn't think of. Although it's unlikely I'll be able to get a 13th gen one, I guess I should wait for it before making a true final veredict. However, it still helps a lot knowing what seems to be a good idea right now. PS.: Yes, I love somewhere newer...
