Hi all,

Looking for some input into the gaming build below. I play a wide variety of games but particularly total war.

I am keen to not spend much more but open to suggestions on improving the build or streamlining anything excessive from the build.

I have a ASUS VG32VQ1B screen.

Thanks!

It's solid enough mate, I would personally want a better CPU cooler the 12600K gets pretty hot I would want a minimum of the Corsair H100i to be completely honest

I'd honestly still stick with Windows 10 but that's just me, less headaches and it's a free upgrade when it's good enough to swap over to

Is that the Corsair H100i ELITE CAPELLIX RGB or H100i RGB PRO XT? Not sure what the difference is.

Good point will definitely go with Windows 10.

Thanks!
