Build Advice Building a new mid-range PC ?

[Lucky_SLS]

If the budget is tight, you can explore Intel i5 12400 and B660 DDR4 build.

The Intel 15th gen Bartlett lake will use LGA 1700, so the 15th gen CPUs should be compatible with your mobo if you update the BIOS.

I'll go for the "pedestrian" 7600 CPU, then. Any data on whether the stock cooler is sufficient?

I'll think about the RAM, thanks for the info. Same goes for the SSD, although I hardly ever go to the 25% free limit.

Mobo: I will consider this too, but once again, going for a better mobo as suggested above would strain the budget consderably, and I don't wanna get wound up in this loop. Edit: I've just read further back ,and the ASRock B650M-HDV m.2 is indeed affordable. I don't mind going for that, although I would have liked a Gigabyte mobo, as I've had nor problems with them ever, for over 25 years now.

PSU: the models on the list are not available in the store I'll be getting my rig from. Would this be a decent alternative: Seasonic Focus GX 750W PSU (FOCUS-GX-750) ?

I could link you the store website, but it's in HU only, so I don't presume you wanna bother.

If I wanted to go down the DDR4 route, I would go for AM4. But you guys just dissuaded me from doing so...

That's a much better product line to go with.

This was the cheapest worthwhile Gigabyte board I saw when looking and it's comparable to the ASRock, but it was more expensive by a fair bit so I didn't include it: B650M DS3H.

You can always link it, won't hurt anything.

Cheers for your reply and patience.

Since you don't mind me linking the store, here is the updated rig I have now put together (I have had to swap out the case, as the I3 is no longer available, but whatever...):
https://www.pcx.hu/?action=prodConf...puterCase_piece=1&assembly=1&assembly_piece=1

(I could swap out the ASRock mobo for the Gigabyte one you recommended just above. But if ASRock is reliable now (it didn't use to be back in the day), then I don't care which brand I have.)

The reason for avoiding AM4 is because it has no upgrade path. If you were currently using AM4 with a 3rd gen ryzen I would have indeed suggested the 5700X3D.

The 12400 is not bad, it will still give you 100+ fps in most games when not bound by GPU. And the 15th gen bartlett lake upgrade will get you by for the next 4 years comfortably. So get the 12400 now, upgrade to bartlett lake next year and minimum 5 to 6 years of usage on the same platform.

Most browsers have the translation feature. With your budget known, it would make the job easy for us. Share the link if you can plz.

Here is the link to the PC configurator of the store I will be buying from:
https://www.pcx.hu/geposszerako

I cannot have 100+ FPS in games, as my display maxes out at 60Hz. But that is perfectly fine by me. I'd rather have stable 60 fps all the time than it fluctuating between, say, 70 and 100.

If you don't mind, could you please provide a rig blueprint with the 12400 as well?

^ just checked that the mobo will revert to pcie 4.0 X4 if you use 8500G.

Get the 7600 instead plz.
