Is My PC Parts List Good Enough for Gaming?
Asked by
GamerDude42
Hey everyone! I haven't owned a PC in years, but now that I have a better job, I'm looking to build one soon. I want to make sure my parts list is solid enough to run most games smoothly without breaking the bank. Here's my list: [https://newegg.io/b58e50e](https://newegg.io/b58e50e). I'd love any feedback you have! Also, I thought Newegg offered a PC building service, but I can't find it—did they stop doing that? I'm a bit lazy and would pay for assembly if it's available!

Your parts look pretty good overall! Just a heads up, though, the RTX 3050 isn’t the best GPU option—it doesn’t perform as well as the 3060 or the RX series. You might want to consider upgrading to something like the 3060 8GB or 12GB, or perhaps the 2060 Super or RX 5700 XT for better performance.

Just a quick tip—I saw you're looking at the i7-12700KF. You might want to consider the i7-13700K or KF instead, since it has about a 10% performance increase, depending on your budget!
GamerDude42: Thanks for the suggestion! I was planning to get the 12700KF from my local Microcenter and order the rest from Newegg.

BuilderBuddy99: Oh wow, I didn't realize there was that much of a difference. Last time I was into PCs, the 30 series was just announced. I’ll definitely check out the 3060s! Is the 2060 better than the 3050?
