I did some research and bought all the pieces after finding all the deals from his forum and others..
Just wanted to share my build..
Rosewill PRISM S500 ATX Mid tower
Intel i7-12700
ASUS Z690-PLUS TUF Gaming WiFi DDR4 Intel LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard
GSKILL DDR 4-3600 (4x8)
2TB NVME SSD
ID-cooling Frostflow x 280 CPU water cooler
artic MX-4 Thermal Paste
Thermaltake Smart BM2 750W Power supply..
Free Windows 11 (Thanks to OSU - Free to Students)
Gigabyte RTX 3060Ti OC 8G (this only needed 1 (8 pin power plug)
Total cost: around $950
I had my son put together most of the items. This way he also learns what each pieces do and how it connects..
His major is computer programming, but had no idea about computer hardware..
I think we got lucky.. after we put together the computer, it booted up without any issues
Had it running several days straight testing all the games..
Our Goal was to build a computer that can handle all games at 1080p with all options on..
