got this build from the forum and i have made a couple of changes, just wanted to double check that everything will be compatible and there are no changes that need to be made. Also if there is any way of me saving money without losing performance then that would also be greatly appreciated, thanks.

M.2 NVMe drive rather than SATA. Cost difference is minimal for much greater speed.

I would go for a 650W PSU with a little higher rating. If the budget is an issue, drop down to the i5-12400, the 12500 only gains you a faster iGPU really.

would it be beneficial to go for the 12400f instead of the 12400?

I cannot recommend using a CPU without onboard graphics, where possible. If (in the future) you have a video issue it allows an easy path for troubleshooting that is worth FAR more than the ~$30 price difference. Also, if you ever get into video editing or streaming it has benefits there as well.

If you need WiFi then have a look at this board. If you don't need WiFi then save the money by getting a non WiFi board.
