🧱 Build Quality & Upgrade Notes
Area | Analysis |
---|---|
CPU & Cooler | 14400F is solid; stock cooler is okay for stock speeds, but loud under load |
Motherboard | Basic but compatible; limited expandability (2 RAM slots, fewer USB ports) |
RAM | Dual-channel 3200MHz is good; can upgrade to 32GB (2x16GB) later |
Storage | 256GB will fill quickly; add 1TB+ SSD soon |
GPU | RTX 4060 is very efficient and cool-running; DLSS 3 is a big bonus |
PSU | 650W is more than enough for this build — good headroom |
Cooling | 3x ARGB fans = good airflow and aesthetic |
