What country are you located, what is your budget, what will you be using your PC for, what is your monitor resolution and do you plan on reusing any components from your current PC?

Gaming is easier on 1080P if your budget is low. It's why I game on 1080P.

144hz is nice. FreeSync or G-sync compatible.

So what should i get

 

[Why_Me]

So what should i get

Freesync usually allows for gsync. Google the monitor to make sure.

Look at the B610 boards.

 

[firatakn]

wait a sec if i go for the used market i can even get a gpu so much thx again

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Question to ask. Do you already have a system? If so what are the specs on that?

its really old
cpu:i3 2100
gpu:n9500gt
ram:4gb 2666 mhz
and it has an h61 mobo

 

[ohio_buckeye]

You might see what you can get in an amd ryzen system as well. Even an older one of those should allow cpu upgrades up to zen 3 in the future.

You get what you pay for. Cheap Intel boards have poor VRM cooling, and will hold back performance, so upgrade path is poor. That MSI B660 can handle an i7 12700, with ease. Cheap H610s will fry in such a situation.

An AMD alternative, for you to consider. Faster integrated graphics, though not as fast as a 12100. AM4 is on its way out, though, with AM5 coming later this year, but it will be expensive, due to the DDR5 requirement.

well i see amd as better option cause maybe am5 is gonna come out but until i get a am5 processor ill probably have a higher budget and i could get an am5 mobo
like i said i dont need a high end pc so amd is my choice

 

[logainofhades]

Intel is the better choice, right now, as you have an upgrade path. Upcoming 13th gen will work in current 600 series boards, with bios update. There's nothing wrong with AMD, but you need to be aware of the differences, with regards to future upgrades. AM5 will require a whole new platform.

I'm afraid to ask, but what is this exact "400W" power supply?

Then you'll need to also budget a proper PSU or the whole upgrade is flushing money down the toilet.
