Hello everyone, thanks in advance for helping! I am in the process of replacing my PC for gaming. I didn't plan about using any of the exiting parts since I'm planning on a white Hyte y60 build.
Approximate Purchase Date: End of April
Budget Range: Around $1500 for the new build
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: I am planning to sell the old PC to compensate. (Still my full budget is around $1500)
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I'm using Amazon and Newegg, open to suggestions
Location: DC, Washington, US
Parts Preferences: I am building a Hyte y60 white build
Overclocking: No
My current build:
CPU: i5 9400F
CPU cooler: None
Motherboard: Gigabyte H310m s2h
Ram: 16GB DDR4 @1196MHZ
HDD: 1TB Western Digital Sata
SSD: 500GB Samsung 980 --> will utilize in my new build
GPU: ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
PSU: Cooler Master MWE Bronze 750W
Chassis: Cooler Master CMP 505
My suggested build:
CPU: i5 12400F - $157
CPU cooler: No idea
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B660-A GAMING WIFI D4 LGA 1700 - $226.8
Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO SL 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 1.35V - $139.99
HDD: None
SSD: TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA ZERO Z330 2TB + Use my existing 500GB Samsung 980 - $92.99
GPU: ASRock Radeon RX 6800 Phantom Gaming -$485 yet i was thinking about the GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Vision OC 8G -$480 only because of its white color will fit the build better
PSU: CORSAIR RM Series (2021), White, RM850, 850 Watt, 80 Plus Gold Certified, Fully Modular -$150
Chassis: Hyte Y60 White -$200
I understand i can get a better overall PC for this value if was not targeting the Hyte y60 white build but i am looking to balance the good looks and performance.
Edit 1: My current monitor is the 24" 144hz Samsung curved with resolution 1920x1080. I didn't settle on the replacement yet. It doesn't have to be an upgrade, just a replacement because i wont be able to take it with me while moving.
