I’m currently getting some shit for my future workstation.

I’m looking for one that doesn’t bottleneck the GPU and CPU and run ddr4.

        The graphics card already has enough ports for 4 monitors on its own.

        You don’t need to use the integrated graphics for additional monitors.

      QUestion? How many watts for the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-A ATX LGA1700 + rtx 3060 combo?

        650 watts Cybenetics gold rated is more than enough.

        It’s the CPU that matters not the motherboard when it comes to power consumption. Nvidia’s official 550W requirement assumes that the RTX 3060 is paired up with an i9-10900K. 650W is just the lowest segment that PSU ODMs are seriously competing in.

        Not say there isn’t any benefit in getting a higher capacity PSU. A 750W PSU might be necessary, if you’re planing to overclock an i5-13600K and overclock the GPU. For a quieter build, a 850W PSU will rarely ever need to turn their fan on under such a light load.

            If you’re going with an i5-13400. It can’t overclock and it doesn’t consume much power so there’s no need for a Z790-A, water cooling, and a 1300W PSU.

            Get the MSI Pro B660M-A motherboard, Corsair HX750 Platinum, and use the money saved to get an RX 6700 XT / RTX 3060 Ti or better yet wait for the RTX 4060 Ti that comes out next month.

            128GB (4x 32) of RAM, is way overkill. 32GB (2x 16) is more than enough.

            The Crucial P3 is PCIe 3 and QLC so avoid it. Get the Kingston NV2 instead, cheaper and faster than the P3, it’s a great budget PCIe 4 TLC SSD.

            Deepcool AK400 is a cheap tower cooler that’s officially compatible with the LGA 1700 socket. An even better value is the Snowman T4. It has an LGA 1700 screw type variant (₱850) but the cheaper clip on variant (₱566) can be made to fit by rotating the pushpins 90 degrees so they just slide freely around their slots.

            Tecware makes decent clone cases, substituting the Lian Li for the Tecware VXL Dual Chamber is another way you can save money to spend more on the GPU.

            Instead of 2x 1080p monitors and a mount. It would be more practical to just get a single 34" 1440p 144hz ultrawide, the Xiaomi Mi 34" goes for around ₱21k.

              Ultra-wide is overrated, no offense btw First monitor is for OBS, the second is the main. Also, I love water cooling so the DeepCool AK400 is a good stopgap.

                Personally I just use a 4K TV, monitors aren’t all that competitive even the insanely expensive monitors can’t do proper HDR.

                  Aight. Do you know 1440p tvs at 120 or higher hz?

                Go with the Koorui 27E1Q 1440p since that’s a subbrand of HKC and it’s panel is from AUO. It’s from an established decades old company sourcing panels from the same source as the pricier brands.

                You could get an RTX 4070 within your budget if you cut back on storage

                RTX 4060 Ti’s rumored MSRP is $450 (so ₱28k with VAT included) so it really shouldn’t be all that much more expensive than the RTX 3060 Ti.

    I would just go for whatever B660 board is within your price range and has the feature set you are looking for. For an LGA 1700 board I am currently using the ASUS Prime B660 D4 Plus, or some shit like that. Its DDR4, has 3 M.2 m-key slots and doesn’t have any obnoxious gaming designs. Only thing is it might be a bit hard to find at a reasonable price now, it’s a bit older. Would definitely recommend that or something similar.

    You won’t be able to overclock anyway unless you upgrade to a 13600k, and while it is a fantastic processor the performance benefits over a 13400 are probably gonna be negligible even with a chunky overclock unless you have really specific use cases or tweaking shit like that is just your thing, idk.

    Definitely wouldn’t bother spending over $150 USD on a board though, can certainly find something serviceable for half that even. Good luck comrade.

        Very good advice yea. Was thinking for a 13400/3060 it shouldnt matter much but absolutely a key thing to look at when choosing a board.

          It only has 6 phases in its power design. The Asrock HDV motherboards are pretty much only suitable for the weakest chip they support, the i3-12100 in this case.

    Unless you are overclocking, the motherboard doesn’t really matter much. You only need to make sure it supports all the ports, storage options etc. Personally, I would pick something like ASUS TUF series, I’ve had good experience with it, and it is not overly gamerly.

        You can’t overclock unless the processor has an unlocked multiplier. i5-13600K or 13600KF (no IGPU variant) at least as only the intel CPUs with a K have unlocked multipliers.

            They multiply (e.g. 35x) the base clock (always 100mhz), which what determines the frequency of the CPU (3.5Ghz).

      It’s mostly slapped with the gamer bit sadly.
