Feedback needed. Build is mostly for gaming with some video editing. Would like to do dual monitors so I can watch movies and game at the same time. Not streaming, 4k gaming, or overclocking.

Not decided on a GPU yet. Thought about going with a 6600 or 6700 but some anons say stick with a 3060 or 3070. Also which manufacturers do anons like and stay away from cause I don't know what ones to go with. I don't like MSI though. I've got a bad history with them.

Also would I be better off going with 4x 8gb of RAM or is the 2x 16gb just as good?

Is there any sense going beyond 144hz for gaming if it isn't esports gaming?

I3 12100f with RTX 3060 12GB. Good idea?

Bro please, don't use a 10yo shit cooler

install gentoo

the human eye cant see above 60hz

Budget cheap, sure it's a good idea if you want to barely be able to play games and just be dumb and not get the 3060ti

Yeah, that's a great pairing. Prepare for incoming AMD shills though lol

what a nice 0 airflow case

>le 200$ am4 wifi board
Why are you niggers like this?

What makes odyssey g7 poor for non gaming stuff other than the curve?

>buy mobo from B&H
>$15 cheaper than amazon
>go to check amazon
>price matched B&H
Fuck. You.

save one more month and get 12400f and a 3060ti
you'll thank yourself for this for the next 5 years

The CPU and GPU have direct fresh air intake, unless whatever the fuck case you have

It's called future proofing
And it's art

checkered

Case is absolute garbage, don't use it.

Replace the CPU cooler with something else, your cooler choice is ancient at this point and there are way better alternatives nowadays.

Why did you select x570 mobo when you decide to use pcie 3.0 m2 drive anyways? Just get a B550 mobo instead.

I want to build a dinky desktop or old games and just use for browsing. not have latest and greatest. any suggestions? is it even worth it if I have laptop?

How does this look for a dedicated streaming PC? I plan to use a main gaming PC and then this one just for the stream so I don't lose FPS and shiet. I have an old case I can use and the RAM I already have leftover from upgrading another PC.

what cooler should I get for a i7-12700 non k

While looking at AIO's on Amazon the other day, some some troon was showing off their case and it had their waifu on everything. It was a like a $12K rig too. Every available surface had his waifu on it. Their was a vid playing on their CPU cooler of said waifu dancing. The worst part? His waifu is a child, like 11 yrs old. The internet was a mistake. Seeing that vid genuinely depressed me for the whole day.

I think I saw that one also when I was looking for AIOs.

Why not?
For a market full of vapid consumers that don't dart an eye for someone purchasing something like a $500 motherboard, peeps have alot to say about people doing custom loops

What are some experience changing monitors?
I'm on a 1440p 144hz 2014/2015 IPS panel now: XB270HU
