Question Looking to build a gaming pc for $2300

[porkie]

Brand new to this stuff, I have had a look and talked to friends but haven't really been to sure, I have been liking parts such as the Intel i7 12700k and 3060 but I have no clue what im doing overall, any help or builds would be greatly appreciated, also if possible I would ideally like 32gbs of ram.
Cheers

Currently is the worst possible time in all of known history to built a pc but don't let that slow you down. Prices and availability from what I've been observing are only prown to get worse. Here is what I was able to come up with at a swing:

Cpu: I7 12700KF
Gpu: EVGA RTX 3060 12Gb
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212
MB: Gigabyte Z690 UD
Ram: G.Skil trident Z 32 Gb 3200Mhz Cl 16
Psu: Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 750W 80+
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C

Total cost should be around 2500$ tops so there is plenty of room to improve.

If you're building yourself right now, basically keep trying until you get the GPU you want (from something like a Newegg product shuffle) and then spec out the rest of the PC with the rest of the budget.

It's the opposite procedure of what I'd normally suggest, but we live in strange times.

From the newegg shuffle you should be able to get a 3070ti in the 1K range 3060ti 650 area from their it's easy.

You might have to get it bundled with another part so you need to keep the rest of the build flexible.

What's your monitor resolution or does one need to be included in the build and what country are you located?

Australia, and monitor is not a concern at the moment.

Knowing your resolution is important so I know what graphics card to recommend.

Have you looked into prebuilts? It's the cheapest way right now because oem's get a separate allocation of gpu's and will charge msrp for the gpu.

That doesn't help the OP if he doesn't know his monitor resolution.

If its just for gaming you don't need anything better than a 12600k. I would build this and then find the best GPU you can. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tY7z8J

Oh. I mean the only thing really important about that list was the 12600k
