12700k 32GB DDR5 build.

Hi folks,

No real set budget in mind but don’t want overkill either on parts. Bang for buck as they say. It will be paired with a 3060. Looking for someone to spec out all parts.

That intel chip looks to be the best cost wise for gaming. 2TB hard drive as well needed

thanks

If you want bang for buck then you want DDR4. Virtually no performance benefit to DDR5 (sometimes worse), very hard to get, and very expensive. And the DDR5 motherboards are much more expensive as well. Asus has gone completely bonkers on the motherboard prices.

Thanks, I'll go DDR4 Can someone spec out a full 12700k build. No real set budget but no overkill. Just a good machine.

Core i5-12600KF is better value than Core i7-12700K (30eur/core vs 35/core).

Following, want something very simillar. Except im on a 970 until I find something better ;')

I’m going the Ryzen/3090 build now prebuilt.

200 a month over 18 months. Not too bad.

get the use of it with this Covid shite, wish I did something similar when this first started.

Interest rate: 11.99% Fixed

Representative APR: 16.49% APR Representative

That's insane.

A bank loan from AIO or BOI will save you hundreds! https://www.bonkers.ie/compare-loans/

I'm going down the route of a loan from the bank Koki, cheers though.

I'm going this with the four year dedeicated support for 400. I'll do it over two years. Will get the use out of it.

I'm confused, 200x18 = 3600 but that machine is 6k?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118344668#Comment_118344668

I'm gonna do 5K loan and 1k of my own money over two years. Works out around 220 a month.

It will be well used. I don't drink or smoke. Machine is 5.5K but with hyper warranty for four years with Dell brings it up to 6K.

The overall specs are sweet, but spinning rust and a 750w Psu (for a 12900 and 3090???) for 6 grand? Also, haven't those cases come under serious scrutiny recently re inadequate cooling?

Even with scalper prices, you'd likely still get better value and performance by building yourself.

Homelander

Do you even need a machine like that? This whole "it'll do me for years thing" generally equates to a huge waste of money in 90% of cases, in that it'd be cheaper to buy a new machine every few years that'll perform consistently as well to the standard needed while costing less.

Really the only way that machine makes sense is if firstly, money is no object because it's vastly overpriced - even Currys have similar machines for thousands less.

And even then, it still only makes sense if you're actually gaming at 4k ultra settings right now, or 1440P 240hz, or something similar.

Finally, Dell customer support for home users is utterly atrocious. After buying a dud gaming laptop, and the hell I went through trying to get it sorted with clueless tech support in Eygpt or India, I wouldn't ever touch them again, let alone pay for a 4 year support package.

Also, that's €400 wasted. Irish consumer law is very strong - a €6k PC automatically would have a huge warranty under our consumer law, eg no judge in a Small Claims Court would find that a €6k PC that dies after 4 years is reasonable or even close.

So if you bought one of those €4k machines in Currys which is basically the same as the Dell, you'd be essentially covered just the same.

Just one thing about the Small Claims Court. The maximum they can award is €2,000.

a small claims court can pass your case to a district court for review if necessary anyway. Besides it’s likely they wouldn’t award you the cash rather order Dell to sort it out.
