Is My First PC Build Good for Gaming?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some feedback on my first PC build. I want to use it primarily for gaming, specifically for Apex, Rust, and possibly Ark. Here's what I have:
- Intel i5 12600K - £110
- NVIDIA 3060ti - £175
- 650w PSU - £22
- Amazon Assassin King CPU fan - £22
- Case + fans - £11
- IONZ KZ-X Deep Space ATX Full Tower - £11
- Kingston 480GB SSD - £35
- Kingston FURY Beast 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz DDR4 - £30
- ASUS Prime H610M-K D4 LGA 1700 MicroATX - £40
All of this adds up to £445. Do you think this is a good build or am I making a mistake with my budget?

Honestly, some of the parts seem a bit outdated and slow for today’s standards. Given your budget, you might get better performance by looking for a used PC rather than piecing together new, cheaper parts. Also, the PSU for £22 raises some red flags. Just keep that in mind!

CuriousNewbie: Which parts do you think are slow? I'm also a little worried about the budget PSU, but as long as it works... right?
