Hey everyone! I'm planning to build my first PC and want to make sure all the components I picked out will work well together and fit inside my chosen case. Here's what I'm looking at:
- Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition (GPU)
- Intel Core I5-12400F (with cooler)
- Asus H610M K D4 Motherboard
- 16GB (2x8GB) HikSemi Future DDR4 RAM
- HikSemi 512GB WAVE NVMe SSD
- DeepCool P550 80 PLUS 550W PSU
- Antec AX20 case
My goal is to play mid to high tier games like CS2, Assetto Corsa, and Forza Horizon 5 at around 100 FPS without going into heavy games like Cyberpunk 2077. I'd appreciate any advice on compatibility issues or potential bottlenecks. Thanks in advance!

Honestly, for gaming, I’d recommend considering a Ryzen processor instead. The Ryzen 3 3200G, for instance, has a decent clock speed and is generally better for your needs. It runs at around 3.6 GHz, which is good for games that require a bit more power. Just check the specific requirements for the games you want to play and compare them with the CPU specs.
To check if all your parts are compatible, you can use sites like PCPartPicker. It helps you avoid conflicts between components. Just a heads up—I couldn’t find that RAM or SSD you mentioned on their site. Also, if you could share your budget, I might suggest a better build. Going with an AM5 platform could also be a good idea if you're starting from scratch.
I’m based in South America and can source everything locally for about $500, not including the GPU, which I’d need to import for around $235. So, the total would be about $700, which seems better than local prebuilt options (and I won’t need any peripherals).
