i5-13600K, typo on the title, oops!
I posted a thread elsewhere about this then realized I should of kept it simple and to the point about AIO/graghics/etc....
Anyway, here is the plan and I know some is overkill and some underpowered if it was a gamming system but I also planned on future proofing as much as made sense and who knows, at nearly 72 I might get into gaming someday
For now, none gaming unless I play solitaire or 2021 Myst, mostly for Chief Architect smaller projects and later mild CAD for fun. System is going to be far more than I need but having fun seeing what I can do buying most all used, clearance, returns, etc.
I plan to do a lot of filtering and airflow directing to mazimize cooling, noise and keeping it clean inside.
UPDATE:
Parts on hand or on order: Everything I buy is used, refurb, etc, what I do on most all things.
Fractal Ridge black $66 with dual 140mm fans
Asrock Z690 Phantom Gaming motherboard, open box, $149
i5-13600k, $222
Thermalright LGA1700-BCF, $13
Shadow Rock LP cooler $25
Silverstone Air Slimmer 120mm CPU cooler fan, $16, highest output slim fan I could find
RTX 3060 ti FE, $275, considering 3070 ti or 3080 FE versions and now 4070
G.Skills Ripjaws 32GB (2x16) DDR5 6400 CL32, $94 (replacing Samsung 4800, not much gain expected)
1TB NVME. Samsung 980 Pro, open box, $78, not much gain over the 970, did not expect it
1TB NVME, Samsung 970 Evo Plus, $59 (second drive, backup)
Corsair SF600 Platinum power supply, $90
2) Arctic P14 PST PMW 140mm fans
6) Arctic P8 PST PMW 80mm fans
4) 140mm nylon magnetic filters
6) 80mm nylon magnetic filters (on the way)
Total approx $1,150 invested.
Parts under consideration or shopping for best deal:
Alphacool 280mm radiator, 20mm thick, pump, etc as needed.
Supporting gear:
MSI 27" 2k 165Mhz monitor clocked to 171Mhz
Perixx backlite wired mini keyboard, scissor keys, very nice, $25
Everything in our full time RV is wired, no WiFi, BT, shielding the whole place against EMI, etc.
Advice always welcome, been at least 10 years since I built a very compact high powered iRacing system for traveling.
Thanks,
Rick
