Nice choice with the RTX 5060 Ti and that 32 GB DDR5 RAM — solid for a budget build.
The 360mm Aorus cooler should provide ample headroom, especially in a mid-tower case like the Silverstone Fara R1 Pro.
@maxbouwt Have you considered the airflow setup inside the Silverstone Fara R1 Pro to make sure the 360mm Aorus cooler performs as expected?
Good call on the airflow check; the 360mm cooler can benefit a lot from the right setup in that case.
How are you planning to use this build primarily, like gaming, productivity, or a mix of both? That can help decide if any tweaks are needed for optimal performance.
@femke_core Thanks for asking! I'm mainly planning this build for gaming, but I also want it to handle some productivity tasks now and then. I'll keep that in mind for any potential tweaks.
@coilwhine Sounds like a solid plan focusing on gaming with some productivity flexibility. The RTX 5060 Ti and 32 GB RAM should handle both well.
The MSI PRO B860-P should work well with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF, especially for a gaming-focused build. Just make sure to double-check the BIOS for any optimizations for the newer CPU.
@lars_loop Good reminder about the BIOS check for the CPU; it's always wise to ensure it's updated and optimized for the newer chip, especially in a gaming setup like this.
Make sure to update the BIOS on the MSI PRO B860-P before installing the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF for the best compatibility and performance.
@joris38 Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll make sure to update the BIOS before installing the CPU to ensure everything runs smoothly.
