FIRST BUILD NEED HELP

First Build ( need help)

Need help with my first build.

Hello,

Disclaimer: I will sound extremely clueless with this post, but I just need some professional reddit help. This is my first actual build.

I want to build a budget gaming pc (800-1000€)

First question, should I not trust cpu’s from facebook marketplace? Is there any way they are overperformed and worn out much like mining on a gpu and them selling it?

Here are some of my buying options, I will list each category, price and place that i found it.

CPU:

i5-12400F (80€=87$ from Facebook)
i5 -13600K (220€= 235$ from Ebay)
i3- 14100F (100$ Amazon)
Was also looking at the i7-12700K but it is a bit over budget( if it’s really worth it in the long run in case of any updates please let me know)

GPU:

ASUS Phoenix GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB (260€ = 280$, used Facebook)

Asus RTX 3060 12 GB (200$ Ebay)

Asus Evea Geforce RTX 3060 Ti ( 350€ = 380$ , Used Facebook)

Asus Geforce RTX 4060 8GB ( £270 = 320$, Ebay)

Motherboard

MSI Pro – B660M- A ddr4 (80€ = 90$, Used Facebook)

RAM:

Corsair Vengeance DDR4 32GB (2×16) (80$ Amazon)

Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 (1x32GB) (100€ = 120€ Facebook)

PCU

For the Power supply, I will use my unit from a 10+ year old build of ddr3, it is a Corsair RM750 ( I believe 750 watts might be overkill? But hope i saved money there)

Regarding the case, do not know what to go for and if there should be any compatibility with any of the other components , I dont want a generic boring case, something with a glass would be great, some suggestions would be great

Same goes for the CPU fans, SSD, HDD and any other cooling system that would be necessary

My budget for Case, Fans,SSD, ans HDD is 150-300$

The PC will be used for:

Video editing and rendering
Valuations software
3D DESIGN software

Games:
Valorant
Cs2
Cod
Gt
Fortnite

P.s: was also thinking of using the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F as a direct competitor of the i5-12400F , but I am clueless of AMD cpu’s and would have to change mbd and ram. Also was thinking for going with ddr5 ran in case of updates, as you can see I am all over the place. Please someone competent and knowledgeable inform me and advise me.

Please let me know of what I listed which Cpu is matching best with which GPU for best performance and if I might need to buy something else.

Thanks guys

In the pic is my old build and is just shown in case any other parts can be used on this one.

    Hello Round-Drive-29, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!
