Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

If you're getting a Z series chipset, get an unlocked processor. If you don't want to overclock the processor, get a B660 chipset instead. You can still work with the ram kit you'd picked up above. 1x SSD? I'd get two in there, one small and one large. The smaller one would be for the OS and app's while the larger one is for your game library. Not sold on all of Coolermaster gear, more of a Fractal-Design kind of person(but that's my opinion/choice on cases, primarily).

I'd get an 850W unit to deal with transient spikes from your GPU.

The 12400 / 12400F runs cool. No need for that $115 Noctua cpu cooler. The case you have chosen comes with ZERO front intake fans which means it's a hotbox. btw size up on your SSD.

Normally peeps run a single 2K monitor alongside a cheap 120mhz IPS 1080P monitor. One is for gaming and the other one is for anything else other than gaming.

Dual SSD version of that build up above. Replace the board with this one and add that 500GB SSD for your O/S (Windows).

Hello,

Thank you very much for answers. Appreciate your opinion.

After some study I changed almost all PC parts to other brands. Please, share your opinion regarding new PC components list.

Note 1: I'm planning to use the PC for next 5-7 years, reliability is priority.
Note 2: CPU is with video chip for a purpose. If Graphic Cart went off, I would be able to use PC, until Ill get a replacement.
Note 3: Im planning to use SSD as System disk only. There would be 2 additional 2HDDs from my current PC (2TB and 1TB), where I would store other stuff.

SSD as System disk only

1TB is way too big for that, 256GB is more than ample. Get a 1-2TB SSD for games.

*Intel Core i5-12

With DDR5, 3070Ti and $360 motherboard, i5 seems low-powered to me—would've thought you'd be going i9 or AMD equivalent.

Wait for an expert to comment tho, I'm not one
