Question Building new pc - parts being shipped

[ohio_buckeye]

That is a jump. If I were going under 300, probably the 7600. But if you’ve got the money the 6750xt, but at that point it’s not much more for a vanilla 6800.

sorry just got back from my ban -.-

so currently i have everything just waiting on my 12400f processor ( i dont need integrated gphx)

i went with the asrock b660m pro rs (decent budget board it runs a little hot but w.e)

i also went with the rx 6800 its just chillin in the box rn

On that board, since they say it runs a bit hot, may just use a down firing cpu cooler to help push cool air into that area.

If your case has the options, also put a fan at the top pulling air upwards to help pull warm air out.

ok soooooooo... been waiting over a week for amazon to ship my processor .... apparently theres a crazy glitch in their system.... it tells me im going to get my order but never do sooooo. ive been waiting for my new pc for weeks and am tired of it at this point. Im about to just go to microcenter or wherever i got to go to finish my build and get it running today.

Mobo: ASRock B660M MicroATX Motherboard B660M-HDV
psu: msi mag a650an 650w
case: Thermaltake Versa N21 Black Edition Translucent Window Panel SPCC ATX Mid Tower
cpu: i5-12400f
gpu: rx 6800
memory: 2x8 gb SP ddr4-3200
storage: 1tb pcie 4.0 m.2 (also 1tb ssd)
display: acer nitro vg1 27" 180hz 1440p monitor

I accidently ordered this mobo - need to ship it back and reorder the asrock b650 pro rs.... also i was going to go with the i5-12400f just because of the price and how terrible this mobo is. So the motherboard and cpu in this build can be changed to whatever you recommend. I know the psu is lower watts i was trying to make a budget build kind of. Anyways I want to get my pc up and running by today. Microcenter near me is sold out of the 12400f last i checked........Where can I go and what should I buy in order to get this up and running today? Any help with this build is appreciated. If i have to wait one more day I guess I could. Just am not ordering anything from amazon ever again.

whats a good cpu/mobo combo for this build? I need something cheap but still good

You could see if they have any bundles in stock at Microcenter. Sometimes they have 12th gen + mobo + memory for pretty cheap. Beyond that I can't really think of anywhere that is going to have good deals unless you have a local shop that does.

theyre sold out on that bundle otherwise i already would have

im using the msi mag a650an and an rx6800 gpu.

whats a good/affordable motherboard cpu combo for this power supply I have?

Id like to pick it up from microcenter today to finish my pc if possible. (madison heights, mi)

You might want to specify what processor/platform you'd like to jump onto, what your cases' make and model is and what your budget for a motherboard purchase is to help narrow down possible suggestions.

 

[Maximuzzm]

Well i mean its a 650w psu with an rx 6800..... you can see where im going with this. As for budget i need something affordable aka cheap.

If you can't get the bundle, newegg has this board.

mobo: msi 790-a pro
cpu: i5-12600kf
gpu: XFX Speedster SWFT319 ,Radeon™ RX 6800
memory: G.skill ripjaws V 16GB (2x8) ddr4-3200
display: acer nitro 1440p 180hz 27" widescreen
psu: msi mag a650bn 650W
storage: 1tb m.2
case: thermaltake mid tower my friend gifted me
cooler: hyper 212 halo black

finally built and running great... what do yall think? I ended up going to microcenter and getting the bundle their system said they had one left . they actually ran out of the z790-p so they just gave me the z790-a instead since the system said there was 1 left (225$ board on amazon, bundle was 250$)

I didnt flash the bios or adjust any bios settings.. havent checked my temps yet but it seems to run great especially compared to my 720p toaster..... what do you all think? I think its amazing. Spent a ton of money on it though even with some parts being gifted.

 

[Maximuzzm]

did I build a good pc or waste all my time and money?

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Comparable to my setup so it gets my vote lol. For the money sounds like you did well.

The Hyper 212 Halo is meh. Other components are very nice. Get a better cooler though.

The Assassin X 120 SE is only $20. Consider a Phantom Spirit EVO, Dark Rock, Fuma 3, or Peerless Assassin. There's lots of coolers in the $20-60 range that would do much better than the Hyper 212

 

[Maximuzzm]

yeah I just picked it up from best buy to finish my build... its all they had

That's what I'm running on my 12600kf It's a great cooler. But I totally get the 212 if that's what was available. Just keep an eye on the temps and make sure they don't go too high. I want to say mine stays in the 60's-70's with the thermalright in cinebench. But I haven't tested it in a while, so I'd have to check it again.

 

[Maximuzzm]

like you said .. meh..... thats basically what my cooler looks like i have my case fan blowing on one side and then the cooler fan on the other side of the heatsink .. it should be ok
