Build Advice Is this a decent 1080p gaming rig ?

[filip.pos.14]

Hi all ,
I am in the process of building a new pc, intended for gaming in 1080p. Ideally coupled with a 244hz monitor in the near future.
This is what i came up with in the range of 900 EU :
CPU : I3-12100F
GPU : Zotac 12GB D6 RTX 3060 Twin Edge
Motherboard : Asus Prime h610M-A D4
RAM : Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro black (2 x 18 gb) DDR4 3200 MHZ
PSU : Corsair CV650W 80 Plus Bronze
Storage : Samsung MZ-V8V1T0BW 980 1TB NVME PCI-E GEN 3.0 X4 M.2 2280

If that's ok i will probably keep the same build for at least 2-3 years before considering an upgrade. I am aware that the mobo doesn't allow any upgrades in terms of CPU but i am looking for something that will perform good for now with a 244hz screen.
I will not overclock the cpu and so i would like to ask if the stock cooler is OK?


Thanks in advance

Thanks for replying. Do you think the PSU is reliable?I couldn't find a review on it but the consensus is that corsair is a good PSU manufacter.

That particular psu isn't one that you will see recommended on here. Look at the Corsair RM series.

These are out of my budget atm, i could get my hands on
EVGA SUPERNOVA 550 GT, 80+ GOLD 550W, FULLY MODULAR
Do you think it's good?

You may consider not getting the 3060 and look at the rx 6600 or the 6600xt. Those are pretty close on performance and should cost less. That may even allow you to get an i5 cpu instead of the i3.

6600XT is def out my budget. I could get the 6600 which would save me 60eu and add another 40 to get the i512400. Do you think the i512400+6600 is a better combo than i3+3060? I am not sure if my this motherboard is suited for the i5 though.

That works ^^

I’m not as well versed on Intel so I’ll let someone else respond. The 3060 is slightly better than the 6600 but it’s close.

Have a look at the hierarchy chart.

It seems 3060 is a tad better than 6600 but not too much, looking at some benchmark vids it looked like the average difference in FPS was in the order of 1-10. I might as well go for an i512400f with 6600 at this point.

 

[ohio_buckeye]

I would agree as that would balance the build a bit to where you get the majority of the power offered by the 3060, but you still come up with a better cpu.

On the RX6600 v 3060, they are both close in normal raster performance. Factor in Ray Tracing, and the 3060 wins out by a lot. If RT is important to the OP, it's something to keep in mind.

Do you think this is a significant advantage compared to freesync offered by the amd gpus?

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Freesync is just a technology to keep things smooth on screen. Nvidia gpus should be able to do this as well.
