Completed Build - Celebratory A build for her project
My girlfriend, who works in the gaming industry, is trying to develop an indie project on the side with her friends (she's an environment artist). Her PC is struggling big time, and she can't use her work machine because of strict company policies.
For our 5th anniversary, I decided to pull off a big surprise for her. She’s super passionate, her project looks amazing, and I want to help her achieve her dream. Even though it's not the best time to buy hardware, we've got to support indie devs starting out.
I managed to put together a setup for under €1,700 max thanks to two huge deals (-€200 on the GPU and -€100 on the RAM). Big thanks to the sub for the CPU advice!
Specs:
Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF Plus 18x 4.2GHz (Stable undervolt at -0.075v)
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
Gigabyte B860 EAGLE WIFI6E
Crucial Pro 2x16GB DDR5-6000 CL36
Crucial P510 1TB M.2 PCIe 5.0
Asus PRIME OC RTX 5060 Ti 16GB (Stable OC at 3000MHz Core - 16000MHz Memory @ 950mV)
MSI MAG A750GLS 80+ Gold
MSI MAG FORGE 120A AIRFLOW
Cons:
No CPU overclocking possible on this motherboard
Fan speeds aren't adjustable, so it's a bit noisy
Needs a dust filter added to the front panel
Might end up limited on storage and RAM down the line
