looking at getting new pc, budget is $1450 / €1436 (+- 200 is ok)

im currently looking at this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L9xHJM
ignore prices, they are very different to local price for me here

i feel like i'm necking my gpu with the cpu, but idk how good the i5-12400F is with 3070 - so maybe not

give me thoughts and ideas :)

i think an i7-10750H might be better, maybe even a lesser i7 than that

idk why so many people hate on gaming laptops. it runs every game smoothly and doesnt melt unless you do something stupid with it like running 4 heavy games at once but there is no need for that it is cheaper, ticks all the boxes and is just more convenient imo.

I've been using a GIGABYTE motherboard for almost a year now, and I gotta say you should definitely avoid one If you want your RGB to work correctly. Because RGB Fusion sucks. Just get something like ASUS or MSI

get ryzen 7 for 3070
edit:for game heavy ryzen better intel good for workstations
cheaper RAM available for same quality
x570 would be great for every high end build

ignore prices, they are very different to local price for me here

it’s less than $60 where i live because big sale

it’s a gaming/workstation mix, would ryzen 7 still be better?

Like a ryzen 5/i5 is baseline for gaming, ryzen 7 can run any game available and a ryzen 9 would be an overkill for gaming.get ryzen 5 5600x (real cheap+3.6ghz) it will work great at 1080 to 1440

ryzen 7 5800X 3.8ghz 36mb good?

€150 more expensive, is it worth? (from 210 to 360)

a semi modular psu > fully modular if u know that stuff

750W is cheaper than 650W for me bc sale

yes it’s dumb of them but i’ll take the price with a smile hahah

get rtx 3080 instead of 3070, way more worth for the price

looks good, but i would get the sn770 instead of the firecuda and replace the case with something better like a phanteks p400a

also keep in mind that while the 12400f is better than ryzen 5600x/5800x in most gaming scenarios, it doesn't have as much 3d cache so cpu heavy games like valorant will perform worse

if anything get a better processor, cuz a 2.5 GHz processor would not go with ur beefy components, better go for Ryzen 5 3600

Ignore people talking about valorant being cpu heavy, although it is, with the amount your spending literally any variation will get 300+ fps, focus on the non valorant games/ thing you want it to do

On intel anything less than an i7 is usually shit. Also are u doing editing? Cause if not u don’t need 32 gc of ram
