Hello all, first time poster. I am looking for advice on completing my first PC build. I was recently able to purchase the following components as a bundle from Marketplace:
(NEW)Corsair 3500X with fans
(NEW) No-brand TGD Gamer X Gperhuan 360mm AIO cooler
(NEW) WD Black SN770 1TB NVMe SSD
(NEW) Intel i5-12600K
(NEW) T-Force Vulcan DDR5 32GB 6000MHz RAM
I also picked up a new MSI MAG A750GL 750W ATX 3.0 / PCIe 5.0 PSU for $50
I primarily game at 1440p focusing on higher framerate over high settings. I do game occasionally at4k but its not my main focus. I run a triple monitor setup - Two 27" 1440p 165hz monitors and a acer predator XB273K V6 27" dual 4k 160hz/1080p 320hz monitor. I mainly play COD, Battlefield, Hell Let Loose and some other less demanding titles. I do use my current laptop for light AI model training and for programming. I prefer an NVIDIA GPU.
I still need a motherboard/CPU/GPU. I am willing to consider buying used components to save money and to keep the build cost low if possible. I am considering selling the i5-12600k and using that money for a better cpu/gpu unless advised otherwise. I have considered buying a used mobo from marketplace/ amazon to complete the build. Also to consider My local walmart has the MSI 12gb 5070 for $489 new.
Should I sell the CPU that I have and put that towards a better CPU/mobo combo or save the money and get a better GPU?
If i upgrade the CPU which micro center combo should I consider?
Any advice is appreciated, trying to get the most out of this build.
