Question Feedback on this build

[murderhornet]

If you have any tweak suggestions for this build please let me know. I've deliberately picked products from well known reliable brands and don't mind paying a small premium for that. Note that the power supply and case are just place holders for now.

Good list; no need to change a thing.

Build looks fine, I would add a smaller SSD for the OS, and have the larger SSD as our game library though I'm assuming this is a gaming build. It'd help if you could state what sort of app's tasks you're tax the new build with.

@murderhornet (luv that name btw), here's a build that will tear it up ^^ Faster RAM, gpu, cpu, etc ...

The 120mm fan goes inside the back of that case for a rear exhaust fan.

Thanks for the reply, that's a great build I might just take entirely. Except for that Crucial SSD, I just don't trust them and will pay the extra for a Samsung or WD. It's not entirely clear what I give up by going from z690 chipset to the B760, maybe not that much (I don't care about having tons of expansion slots).

Edit: I also might opt for the standard 13700 rather than the F version. I like the idea of built in fallback GPU for debugging.

They discovered the first murder hornets in the US just a few miles from here around the time I created this login.

I'm guessing you're from Washington State ^^

AM5 option for future upgrades

B650E for pcie 5.0 ssd slot

case with front panel type C

psu with 16 pin connector for future nvidia gpu upgrade

7800XT performs better than 4060ti. go for nvidia only if you care about ray tracing.
