I am about to build a propper pc for the first time (I have actually built one before but it wasn’t mine and it didn’t have a graphics card).
I’m upgrading from an old macbook air (i3, 2020) so honestly even if the performance isn’t the best it’s still an astronomical improvement.
I chose an i7-14700k because it seemed to have the best performance for price, and a 5060 ti for the same reason, but also because I’ve heard it’s worth getting at least 16gb of ram to sorta future-proof yourself against not having enough vram.
I don’t care at all about what colour the parts are and I’d honesly rather not have any RGB. I just want something that performs well at a reasonable price.

Est-ce que votre préoccupation principale est le jeu ici ? Si oui, alors configurez ceci, malheureusement assez mauvais pour le prix.
Le choix du CPU est douteux, la pâte thermique est déjà incluse avec le radiateur. Vous auriez dû opter pour la plateforme AM5. De plus, la mémoire vive est une seule barrette, au lieu de deux pour le mode dual channel – cela est important. La carte graphique est faible par rapport au prix global de la configuration. Le modèle de SSD choisi est excessif et trop cher pour l’ordinateur si c’est censé être un PC de jeu.
