#Looking for feedback on what to pair with my 3060 Ti 8GB. Upgrading from old build
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Budget is probably $500-$700 but that will need to include 64gb DDR5 ram.
Currently on part picker I have a I5-12600k with a Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite
why 64gb ddr5?
Well rn I have 32gb and I pretty frequently max it out
hmm well is the 32gb right now ddr4 or 5 if ddr4 you could be cheaper on the build
I would suggest going for am5
Most people would call the 12th, 13th and 14th gen "dead platforms"
Didnt stop me from buying one tho. Any of the current sockets will be old when i upgrade in the future anyway.
A 12600k will work well for you. And you can still upgrade to a 12700k which would give you even more oumpfh.
And you will have a bad upgrade path

Don't take this the wrong way but I really don't want to switch to AMD
I ended up getting a 13600 as I found it for the same price as tbe 12600
