Build Advice New Build Suggestions ?

[Gauravterna]

Hey Guys..Need gaming PC Build recommendations here (Budget 3000 USD)..
My current plan:
1) CPU: i7-13700/i7-13700F ($ 425)
2) GPU: Gigabyte Gaming RTX OC 4080 ($ 1450)
3) Mobo: Need suggestion here..I prefer the B760 as I dont plan to overclock any components..But would still prefer to have PCIE5..(Budget $ 300-400)
Should one go for Z series in case no overclocking is reqd ?
4) RAM : Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 5200 MHz ($ 100)
5) PSU: Corsair RM1000e ($ 180)
6) SSD: 2TB WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD ($ 190)
7) Cooler: Need a suggestion here..I guess a simple one should work here as I again don't plan to overclock any part...(Budget $ 150)

Where are you located and what is your preferred site for purchase? Make and model of your case used for the build? If you go for a non K SKU processor, then you're fine with the B series chipset. You should still be able to ruin the rams as advertised. Stock cooler should still be adequate or something slightly beefier than the stock cooler.

Although I use the below sites for reference, I will be buying and getting the build setup from a local shop..

Except OC is there any other disadvantage to the B760 over Z790 ?

My current cabinet is CM MB530P.

Thanks \m/

That Coolermaster case will accept coolers up to 165 mm in height, which means nearly any air cooler would be OK. You'd probably want a fairly large dual tower model. Don't know your local prices, but in USA the candidates would be in the 50 to 100 dollar range. Noctua, DeepCool, Thermalright

I7-13700 is a locked cpu. The only thing you'll be overclocking is the ram. Forget about OC as a variable, with anything more than a 13600k, OC is obsolete as the inherent defaults in the cpu are considerably better than what amateurs and many pros can accomplish. There's zero point to locking cores anything higher than 6 cores.

13700 is a seriously good cpu. It gets better scores than almost all 13600k + OC cpus, and does so at much lower wattage use. Far easier to temp manage.

So ignore OC, totally.

B or Z board is your choice, and that depends on wants. Many of the higher grade B boards have everything the Z boards have, except for OC capability. So choose the boards that fit your needs. Pcie headers, usb ports, usb-c capability, number of fan headers, number of rgb or argb headers, type of net controller, audio jacks, wifi, price, whatever you require. Make a list of needs, and another of wants. Find several boards that fit all your needs, then toss any that don't fill enough wants.

You'll end up with a board or 3 that fills all your needs, as many wants as can be, and B or Z makes no difference to anything but the price.

Your plan is reasonable.
My thoughts:

Try the stock RM1 laminar cooler first.
I used one on a 13100 and it is so quiet that during testing I did not notice that I had connected it to a pump header and it was running full blast.

Buy the non F suffix version. If you ever have a graphics card version it is a lifesaver.
And, you also get quick sync with it:

Intel® Video Processing Library: Video Codecs

Unlock media features on CPUs, GPUs, VPUs, and other accelerators with a successor to Intel® Media SDK—a video-processing API for encode and decode.

Do not get excited about fast sequential benchmarks of pcie ssd devices.
The benchmarks are for sequential processing at high queue depths.
Most of what we do is small random I/O so sequential speed means little.
These guys could not tell the difference:

You can get a 2tb Intel 670P for $70:

You will find a MATX B760 motherboard to be more reasonably priced.

Everything made by man has a failure rate, that includes the cpu. Some of those failures were in the igpu, that's tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars lost. So Intel renamed them 'F' and sold them at a reduced price. And ppl bought them, so now Intel will intentionally burn an igpu by voltage spike, just to meet contract quotas on F cpus as well as sell any igpu rejects.

Can't blame them if otherwise it's a perfectly good cpu, no point in junking a whole bunch of otherwise perfectly good silicon. AMD has been doing it since the FX, a FX 6300 is nothing more than an FX 8300 cpu with either a failed node or one that's intentionally fried because it wouldn't hold the specs etc.

Either way, there's nothing wrong with an F, as long as you are aware that if you have any gpu issues of any sort, you are way up the creek with no paddle, a leaky boat and no bucket.

The price difference between an F and non-F is seriously cheap insurance, you may never need it, but it's better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

With that video card PCIE bandwidth is really a nonfactor.

Totally agree here..I think this cost difference only made sense while buying an i5..The minor saving here is too little versus the overall spend.
