Yes…that 12th gen i3 is a beast it won’t hold you back in gaming


cptnkook

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeew


Berkabitz

yes it'll be able to use it


cptnkook

awesome!


savednebula

If you upgrade ur cpu to 12400f, it'll be good for at least a few years. You can also save some money and get H610 motherboard.


cptnkook

Noted. Thanks u/savednebula i already bought all the parts a few days ago


savednebula

Enjoy your PC then good sir.


cptnkook

danke schon. have an amazing week ser 🫡


PGisHARD

Sure


cptnkook

perhaps

All good, except you could have went for better cpu, I think. For example, i5 12400f or 5600x. Less bottleneck, more fps.


Tajertaby

The i3 won’t bottleneck a 3060Ti


TonyTwo8891

I have a 6600 XT, it works fine but in CPU intensive games it definitely doesn't do as well as some other CPUs


Ra1zo47

Might not be much, but cpu will hold back gpu a little. It has 4 cores, which is fine for only gaming, but if you do multitasking then you are done.


Tajertaby

> if you do multitasking then you are done It really depends on the game although I do agree six cores can help with multitasking


Ra1zo47

Six cores is what I would go minimum for. Since I'm working on productivity/gaming and having some apps/tabs open 8 cores is great for me. I think 4 cores won't last long and it is better and more safe to proof yourself with 6 cores at least


Legend5V

4 cores is fine if you game lightly like OP. Moderate gamer, then 6. I have 14 (6+8) but IDK if I need that much, 10 would’ve been fine


cptnkook

hm i can still return this and get the i5 🤔


Ra1zo47

You should, since you mentioned that you aren't heavy gamer, so you should think about a stronger cpu.


MultiiCore_

do it. 4 cores are meh these days.


Legend5V

4 cores is a bit outdated. 6 is a nice spot. If you somehow find them for cheaper, the 12500 and 12600 are like 1% better than the 12400F


cptnkook

i like 1%


cptnkook

i ended up cancelling the order and bought the i5 on newegg hehe. should be coming this friday. woot


Legend5V

GG. 12400F > 12100F. 6 > 4


Ra1zo47

Sweet
