So there's been a lot of upset gathering steam on the inter webs with intermittent games crashes on Intel 13th and 14th gen. Workarounds range from underclocking to disabling ecores. BUT, there are a lot of people finding that simply disabling hyperthreading is a proper solution. The findings...

I will report this as a duplicate, no need to keep opening threads, it’s fine to bump a thread if you’re not getting any response but not if it’s just the same info ignoring requests for information

There's no reason to open multiple threads on the same argument.

Please stop posting the same spec in multiple threads, its much easier for everyone else if you just stick to one thread - also means less work for the mods - yes I merged then together ..... (and dont want to have to merge anymore)

As a personal note about the build I've always gone Intel (well since 2007), but now given the options I would have to defect to the AMD side, just because AMD are so much better currently for gaming purposes, so I'd say take the advice to change to the AMD build suggested

The rtx 4060 ti has only 8gb vram which is not enough for gaming these days. Go for an Intel arc b580 which is cheaper and more powerful and has 12gb vram. Your ssd is very slow and 256gb is too little for storage. Some games are over 100gb each. Ideally look for an ssd with around 7000mb read write speeds and 1tb or 2tb preferably. Also the ram is 5200mhz but you should go for 6000mhz as it will go well with your cpu. Your cooling solution chosen is weak for the cpu chosen. Pick one with aio (liquid cooling). You should be able get all this for £1500.

Tweaking the OP's build would be a waste of money because Intel's 14th gen is dead, defective, and worthless.

Intel 13th and 14th Gen confirmed defective

So there's been a lot of upset gathering steam on the inter webs with intermittent games crashes on Intel 13th and 14th gen. Workarounds range from underclocking to disabling ecores. BUT, there are a lot of people finding that simply disabling hyperthreading is a proper solution. The findings...

Further to this, you didn't mention any of the critical components, and none of them are acceptable for a decent gaming system: Case is unknown, Motherboard is very low-end and PSU is an old, office-tier, ATX2.

Any worthwhile custom PC should be designed with a 7-10 year lifespan in mind; Saving £100-200 by purchasing a system that cannot be upgraded is not a wise choice in my opinion.

 

[Axolotking12]

i changed my graphics card on the build from a 4060ti to a 5060. was it a good choice?

To be honest, the build itself is not good: I strongly advise against purchasing a DOA platform...
