Build Advice Parts Compatibility Check and any recommendations ?

[QuestionMaker21]

Hello,

I was just wondering if all of these components are compatible with one another and if anyone has any recommendations ?

Thank you

Difficult to give an opinion without knowing your budget and monitor resolution.

 

[QuestionMaker21]

Monitor resolution: 1920x1080 and dont worry about the budget

 

[QuestionMaker21]

Also, are all of those parts on the list above compatible with each other?

They're compatible but budget does play a factor seeing how you could have a DDR5 build. 500GB SSD is the standard for an O/S drive.

 

[QuestionMaker21]

What parts would you recommend if I were to go with DDR5 instead? In terms of budget, it would be nice to keep the price as low as possible but also have a very good PC. Also, would you have any recommendations for the 500GB SSD?

I'd look at making these changes. btw no extra case fans required for these cases down below.

Okay, I've made some adjustments to that list.

Is this good now? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/y3hTxs

I have pretty much the same setup with a 13700K on an ASUS Strix - D4 Z690 motherboard. and it is just such a big performance increase.

Couple of things, to maximise DDR4, try to pick up some CL16 RAM instead of CL18 DDR4 3600. The price difference should be minimal.

More importantly if you can go DDR5 as this looks like a new buid, then go that route as DDR5 has become a bit cheaper. In any case, a Z790 motherboard and the MSI Z790-A Pro is a great motherboard and cost effective.

I went for the NZXT H7 Flow which is just personal choice but is an excellent case and can take a 360mm AIO in the roof but the Lian Li is a great case.

So the motherboard plays a decent role in terms of performance?

 

[vMax]

Oh and save money n the Windows key and buy it from some where like CDKEY or G2A and get for like $20 ....Plenty of places where you can get a genuine Windows 11 Pro key..

Getting a decent motherboard is important! The MSI Z790 - A Pro is very good especially for the price. A good VRM is important as is a decent BIOS experience especially if you want to ever push the 13700K and the 13700K and be pushed very nicely with minimal vcore.

Good choice going with DDR5 on the 13th Gen, and if budget is not a problem, why go with 3070Ti? I'd recommend 6800XT or 3080 10/12GB if you wanna go Nvidia.
PS: Also consider the Arctic LF II better value IMO.

DDR5 is a waste of money it's like 1-3% faster but at least 50% dearer. Given the Socket 1700 is likely done with raptor lake anyway it doesn't have much upgrade potential. I would consider a 6750XT if you are just gonna game at 1080p, a 3080 is a waste at that resolution. Some of the suggestions above are ok if you aim is bragging rights but they aren't value for money for what you are going to use it for.

You really are on nearly every thread proclaiming that anything above mid tier last gen cards are not necessary for 1080p. If you consider minimum FPS and your target of 120-165hzz monitors, you could very easily need a 4090 depending on the game and settings. More realistically a 6900xt / 3080 or higher is a nice to have for minimums.

Considering I can't play Cyberpunk with RT and DLSS with a consistent 100+ fps at 1440p with a 3080, I'd say a 3080 is great for 1080p if you want to play high refresh rate AAA games maxed out with Ray Tracing.

At 1440p RT on quality and maxed setting at 1440p I only got around 60-80 fps with a 3080 playing cyberpunk. I need to test again, lots of performance updates to drivers, game optimizations, and I went from a 3900x to a 5800x3d.

Where did you get those numbers?
13700K 12 game average with DDR5 6400 measured at 184 FPS compared to 163 FPS with DDR4 3600. (184 - 163) / 163 = 0.1302 or 13.02%.

The fact that OP can buy a 1440p or 4K monitor at any time makes the whole argument moot.

Agreed, but he has been spouting this nonsense in many threads with several different circumstances all involving 1080p gaming. It was more of a general disagreement on my part specifically to him and his proclamations in this thread.

Encouraging people to massively overspend is just plain irresponsible. 1080p is comfortably achievable for almost all games bar Cyberpunk and a small handful of others. Claiming you are some kind of "special savant" who can see faster frame rates than medical science has proved possible and then shilling for nVidia to get people to shell out enormous amounts is a ridiculous poisition. The only people who should go near a 4090 are millionaires they are a waste and even the 4080 is so overpriced that you need to be earning 6 figures and play 8 hours a day to justify it. And if you think paying an extra $500-800 quid to ensure your 1% lows never dip below 144fps then you have your priorities all wrong.

Putting words in my mouth and accusing me of all people for shilling Nvidia, nice laughs on my part. Technically a 970 or an r9 290 ca get 60+ fps on most 1080p games but it limits the possibility of getting your target of, lets say, 120 fps for your 1% or .1% minimums. Having better than the minimum requirement for your target FPS will decrease stuttering and many other kinds of detriment to smooth gameplay.

As far as be being a "special savant," because I can tell the difference between 60 / 120 / 165hz monitors is ad hominem with no basis in science or fact. The fact that you are bringing in your beliefs of millionaires only cards is evidence of your irrelevant personal beliefs being injected into recommendations for systems.

DDR5 6400 is at least 2x the price of DDR4 3600 in most cases 2.5x the price, in terms of return on value it's awful.

Claim what you like but you are putting enormous value and recommending enormous spending just to ensure that performance is at a level that you well never see a framerate below that of the monitor. I think if you can spend ½ the money and get that 90-95% of the time that is good value and a much more sensible way to spend money. You can do want you want with your own money but convincing others to be in your little cult in which having perfect framerates are the only possible goal without knowing their financial circumstances is irresponsible.

I see you are just like those audiophiles who claim they can "hear" sound at higher frequencies than science has proved the human ear works at and swears blind that somehow they defy the norm. Again if you think it is worth it for you do what you like but when you advocate to others you should have some consideration that they shouldn't be peer pressured into bad financial decisions for your personal quirks.
