[SOLVED] New build with my old GTX 1070Ti

[runningw]

For the sake of money, I decided to build a new PC with my old GTX 1070Ti and Samsung 970 evo 1T. Here is my new build:

CPU: Intel Core-i7 11700F
Motherboard: Gigabyte B560 Aorus Pro AX
GPU: MSI GTX 1070Ti Titanium
SSD: Samsung 970 evo 1T
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8G*2, DDR4, 3200
PSU: Thermaltake PF1 (non-ARGB) 750W
Optic drive: Asus DRW-24D5MT
PC case: Be quiet! Pure base 600
Case fan: Arctic P12 PWM PST
Monitor: Dell s2721dgf

I might upgrade my graphic card in the future, so I leave some room in the PSU.
Any suggestion to the build would be appreciated, especially with the PSU, the case fan and the monitor!

PSU: Thermaltake PF1 (non-ARGB) 750W

It reviewed well and is overall good unit. Though, Seasonic Focus Platinum is still better.

Case fan: Arctic P12 PWM PST

A good PWM fan that also has PWM pass-through, meaning that you can connect another PWM fan to it, without needing to use 2nd fan header.
Specs wise, it also has good airflow of 56.3 CFM and good static pressure as well, 2.2 mmH2O,

Monitor: Dell s2721dgf

CPU: Intel Core-i7 11700F

Do note that F-suffix means that the CPU doesn't have iGPU in it. Meaning that it will need dedicated GPU to work (just like Ryzen CPUs). Now, if you'd get non-F version, and your dedicated GPU dies, you still can use your PC by connecting your monitor to your MoBo.

A very reasonable build.
Some thoughts:

On the processor, a non F gives you integrated graphics which is handy for debugging.
If the price is not much different consider it.

What will be your cpu cooler?
I like the noctua coolers.
Here is a suitability chart for the 11700K:

Even a NH-U12s is ok.

Good case, one of the few with dvd space.

On the power supply.
Good thinking with a quality psu and a 10 year warranty.

I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say by 20%.
It will allow for a stronger future graphics card upgrade.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.
You will often find that the difference between 750w and 850w is about $20.
As an example, Seasonic GX750 to 850w is only $20 more.

Lastly, with the alder lake launch, look at the i5-12600K
The price is similar, but the performance difference is massive.
Look for a lga1700 motherboard with DDR4 support.
I see little difference in performance between DDR4 and DDR5.

Thanks! Since I don't do overclocking, I thought the default CPU fan was enough? 12th generation CPUs are not yet in mass release in my country, so it's a bummer.
