Hi all,

Interested in this MATX setup which is $3015. Mainly for gaming. A bit over budget but I want the CPU, GFX card, and 32G RAM which Aftershock/Dreamcore don't have.

Processor: Intel Core i7-12700KF
Motherboard: Asus B660M-A Prime Wi-Fi & Bluetooth (DDR4)
Cooler: Asus TUF LC 240 ARGB - Black AIO
Graphics Card: RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB - Asus
SSD: Transcend MTE220S 256 GB NVMe (R:3500/W:2800)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD
Ram: Corsair RGB Vengeance Pro SL 32 GB 3600 MHz - Black
Power Supply: Silverstone ET 750 W 80+ Gold
Case: Tecware Nexus Air M (4 ARGB Fans) - Black
Operating System: Un-Activated Windows 11 Home 64-Bit
RGB Fans: Standard Black Fans (3 Fans)

Thanks.

Not a wise built for gaming, go for a better quality motherboard, psu and at least a 1tb ssd.

Saw the price and I went :eek::eek:, but other than that, might I ask what's wrong with the PSU? SilverStone 750W Gold rated PSU should be more than enough, unless there's something inherently wrong with the PSU itself.

What mobo should I go for? Am looking at micro ATX types due to preference.

dreamcore offers 5600x + 3070ti for just under 3k, though it is only 16gb of ram. but then again honestly if ur not doing work like video or photo editing, 32gb is too much for gaming use case; ur probably better off getting ram upgrades elsewhere anyway as si dont offer lifetime warranty on ram as compared to if u buy them outside.

at that price, i think its better to get a machine with 3070ti instead. but downside is u will have to swing to amd 5600x

i feel b660 shld be pair with non k chips like i7 12700 , i5 12600 and i5 12500.

Spot on. The CPU and motherboard is a total mis-match.

12700KF on a B660 mother is a waste. B660 should pair with 12700, 12700F etc.

I feel it is overpriced for the specs. The only good thing is that Mansa I assume should provide after sales service support for a few years. Which means if something goes wrong, Mansa is responsible to troubleshooting and fixing/replacing the parts for you.
