Honestly, looking at the 12th gen specs, I really do think I messed up by not building around a 12th gen CPU but I guess that's for next time.
Purchased the Intel 11th Gen i9 11900K CPU now (sorry XLR8).
I literally have no money left for a PSU and case let alone throwing in a GPU.
Big L.
I'm considering this case https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403547184713 (it's £55 with 6 fans included). It's not white but the 6 fans really do save me a lot of money. Opinions?
Brought the NZXT z73 AIO cooler
NZXT H710i in white brought
Just waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive in the post.
Here's the final build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7bh7C6
I will add a GPU in the future and possibly additional RAM (total 32gb) and storage. Will see with usage.
Guess all that'll be left to update on this thread is the actual final product once I've assembled everything.
Thanks you so much to everybody that has commented. You were all extremely helpful.
Could somebody advise me on the following?
I brought my motherboard from Amazon. I paid £227 for the board and £14.85 for shipping charges.
Now, I have received a letter from ParcelForce stating that I need to pay £57.08 for customs...
What should/can I do? There's no way I'm going to pay £57.
Update: Never mind
Amazon said they will ask the seller to pay it or refund me the cost of customs! Great!
The elements you put in that list look nice, but I'm not a specialist in this field, so I can't fully guarantee they will be perfect for your needs. Moreover, there are a lot of platforms that can review them or give you some help. For example, I have been fixing my laptops for the past years at poole pc repairs, which are the best in my area. I am sure you can look at their platform to find some nice and useful information. On top of that, you can ask them to take a look for a more professional review and opinion.
Well, I've ended up refunding my mobo because fkin Amazon won't help cover the £57 customs fee.
I have also returned my i9 11th gen processor as the points Corey made are pretty valid.
The new CPU is Intel Core i9-12900K 3.2 GHz 16-Core Processor
My motherboard is Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A GAMING WIFI D4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Power supply arrived without Cables (fkin eBay) so I've switched that too a Corsair CP-9020187-UK 750 W RM750x Fully Modular ATX Power Supply - White (haven't purchased yet).
Once I get my refunds on the mobo and CPU, I'll buy the new parts.
Buying parts is such a headache!!!!
Update: All new parts have been purchased.
Motherboard changed to NZXT N7 Z590 Matte White
All parts arrive on Monday! So I should have the PC build and ready in the evening or by Tuesday!
All my parts arrived today (well in 1 hour of this post).
Will send pics of the final build today!!!!
Update:
I brought the wrong fucking motherboard, it's a LGA1200 when I need a LGA1700 fuck sake
Updateurchased NZXT N7 Z690 Motherboard - N7-Z69XT-W1
Arriving Tuesday
It's finally built! GPU arrives tomorrow
Will show another pic later when everything is cleaned up and the setup is finished!
