Hi Junior!

Sorry for a late reply but the motherboard you suggested, the B660 is not out of stock, would it be fine to just use the Z690 plus?

I’ll post specs i’m looking to get in the next post i’m hoping to order Wednesday!

Thanks

Yep! Z690 should be all good, it should also only be a few £ more

Looks good! I'd make the 2nd drive a PCS M.2 so your boot drive is faster then drop the thermal paste, Corsair AIO's come with high quality thermal paste pre-applied

Will do Junior, i was looking at getting the upgraded Radeon 6600 XT put says my average watts would be like 217w where any other graphics card has it well over 400w.

Does this mean something isn’t compatible or is it just a low watts card?

Is there any point upgrading to H115i Liquid Cooler for just a couple £ extra

Cheers Scott, what did you change just the paste?

Thanks

Post a couple of week back about a PC and after some research, reading up and talking to people on (thanks a lot for all help) I’ve decided to go with the build shown below.

However i got a phone call today from PCS saying my Ram as RGB won’t fit in and i have to change to normal Corsair Vengeance without RGB so i have a quick question.

I’ve changed my order from a Radeon RX 6600 to Nvidia GTX 3060 but i’m just wondering if this would fit in due to the 3060 been longer than the 6600

It was discussed before about my monitor and my build and everything is supported for 1080p and i’ve gone with the PSU to support further upgrades in the years to come.

Thanks,
Jack

Solid build mate, fair warning the RGB RAM in that case it means you cant roof mount the radiator.

I would actually say drop the RGB RAM and drop the cooler to the H100i. The H115i I believe is also too big to go on the roof and the H100i is more than enough for the 12600k so you can save a couple £ there. Solid build all around though at 1080p it'll kill everything and the 3060 is just enough to open the door to 1440p should you want to go that direction in future

Yeah they called and mentioned it, just changed it to the normal ram without RGB, surely i’ll have enough RGB anyway with front fans and aio.

RGB RAM dropped as stated above, they have mentioned anything about the H115i not fitting though and it’s only like £6 so more so chosen that to make it a bit more future proof, can’t hurt right? 😌

Thanks for the help bud and hopefully i’ll have my PC within the next week so i’ll update some pictures once everything is up and running!
