what do you think? which is better? which will last longer? it’ll be used for primarily gaming. minor amounts of adobe stuff/editing

Wouldn`t purchase either of them;

VIDEO: GeForce RTX™ 3060 12GB GDDR6 Video Card (Ampere) [VR Ready] [+458] (Single Card)

The only thing that I would have on the first list.

Video Card ::GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - 8GB GDDR6 (VR-Ready)
Storage ::1TB Samsung 980 M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD

The only two components that I would have on the second build.

Both CPUs have no integrated video.

The 3600MHz RAM is too fast for both CPUs so is a waste.

Cooler Master PSUs are on the avoid list.

Power Supply ::600 Watt - 80 PLUS Gold Certified

Could be any old piece of junk, you want to know the brand and exact model name or number of any PSU and at the prices quoted above you want a Corsair, EVGA or Seasonic PSU that has a ten year warranty.

i have a budget unfortunately, so some brands arent an option. the 3600mhz ram was a free upgrade from 3200, only reason i have it. ill take your advice into consideration and make some adjustments to the first. second is a prebuilt thanks for the help

[phillpower2]

Couple of links for you;

Logical Increments which gives you example builds and their cost.

PCPartPicker for sourcing components and build ideas etc.

the 3600mhz ram was a free upgrade from 3200,

No such thing as “free” one CPU can only handle 2666MHZ RAM and the other 3200MHz so the 3600MHz RAM is in no way an upgrade.

You are welcome

Asetek 670LS 240mm Gen 6 Liquid CPU Cooling System w/ Copper Cold Plate + 2x Phanteks SK120 PWM Radiator Fans
750 Watts - Corsair RMx Series RM750x 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Fully Modular Ultra Quiet Power Supply

these good alternatives for cooler and PSU?

the first site has 3200mhz as the lowest freq ram available to custom builds. same price as this 3600. shrug

[phillpower2]

Can`t help with the cooler as I have not heard of it before.

You do not need a liquid cooler.

3600MHz RAM would not work with either of the two CPUs above, i5-10600KF you would have to manually overclock from 2133MHz to the max that the CPU can handle which the specs here say is 2666MHz, the i7-11700KF, specs here you would have to manually overclock from 2133MHz to the max that the CPU can handle which is 3200MHz, if you were to enable XMP on either system the system will not boot because the BIOS will not recognise the 3600MHz RAM.

[skragglenuts]

if i were to swap over to a ryzen setup, lets say a 5600, would that ram be good to go? what about cooling then? stock amd ok? im wary.

[phillpower2]

You do not build a PC to accommodate RAM, you consider the intended use and what core CPU and GPU will be required, you then find the appropriate speed and amount of RAM and after deciding on how many storage devices and the case you want you then choose an appropriate PSU.

I prefer an Intel build as most of their CPUs have integrated graphics whereas AMD CPUs do not, my advice, pay a bit more for an Intel HD CPU.
