Intel Core i5-12400F
It’s the smartest choice at the moment, because in addition to being faster than its rival AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, it’s cheaper and since the number of motherboards with DDR4 for this processor has increased, it doesn’t there’s no excuse for choosing Lisa Su’s option today.
We are talking about a 6-core, 12-thread processor without E-Cores that reaches 4.4 GHz and has a consumption of 117 watts in Turbo mode. It does not have an iGPU and therefore we need a graphics card, which does not concern us for the use that we are going to give it.
ASUS TOUGH GAMING B660-PLUS Wi-Fi D4
ASUS continues to be the benchmark manufacturer in terms of quality and design, but also with the TUF range, we are focusing our PC on something very basic: stability and durability. Plus, this card has built-in DDR4 support, so we won’t be paying full price for DDR5 as such.
Its chipset is the B660M, which for the present case and considering the hardware is more than enough, and as we will see below, in conjunction with this model it is ideal. And it is that this plate is made up of a system of 10+1 phase power supply, PCIe 5.0, support for three M.2 PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 7.1 sound, Thunderbolt 4 much more.
As we can see, it is an ideal candidate for non-stop gaming sessions.
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB RS 2x8GB 3200 C16
They are the latest that the manufacturer has launched on the market and for this reason it is not that they are better or faster as such, but they include a feature that the others and the deletion of the LPX series n don’t have: a lower height.
Likewise, they do not lose any of the properties of the series, since they incorporate a high quality black anodized aluminum heat sink with new aesthetics, an RGB system with CAPELLIX LED and in this particular version a speed of 3.200MHz con CASE 16 in setup 2 x 8 GBmore than enough for Overwatch 2 and any demanding game.
NVIDIA RTX-3050
Although we have selected a specific model, you can make a selection of the model that best suits your needs. In any case, we choose this GPU for several reasons. The first because NVIDIA seems to have some performance advantage over AMD in Monitor 2. The second because it represents a leap in performance compared to the GTX 1060 requested by Blizzard and the third because it is a question of possible support for DLSS for this game, so knowing it’s going to be better than AMD’s FSR 2.0, making the jump to that model would be justified, but for this game for the others you play as well.
Moreover, it incorporates 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a very low consumption of only 130 watts, so it is ideal for not generating a lot of temperature in the PC and consuming little light. The model chosen is the one that is probably at the right balance between price and performance for playing Overwatch 2 on PC.
PRIVATE RM750
Interestingly, among all the 500-800 watt models, this one stands out above. Not only is it the 2021 revision, but it adds Zero RPM Modean improved cooling design with triangular panels, a new even quieter fan and of course better electrical termination of some key components, where silicones have also been added to specific parts or parts to reduce possible moan of the reel.
We are talking about a totally modular source that is designed for possible updates to our PC and that for the price it currently has is a better option than models with lower powers, where we will achieve that better energy efficiency bringing us closer to 50% average load in use during the game than on the 500 watt models, for example.
It has something very important it is precisely the connector Triple EPS12V which the vast majority of sources do not include. In addition, he obtains the certification 80 PLUS GOLD.
Crucial P5 Plus 1TB
Here we have entered a swampy ground as choosing high performance SSDs has become a really complicated task as the price is moving very fast for really minimal performance gain for practical purposes. That’s why we chose this SSD in its version of 1 TB under M.2 PCIe 4.0.
It is not the fastest on the market, but it is the best quality/price/performance ratio, since for just over 130 dollars on average we have an SSD with guarantees from a TOP brand that achieves 6600 MB/s sequential reading and 5000 MB/s in sequential writing. Figures more than comfortable to play and where neither game nor software will resist us.
CORSAIR iCUE 220T RGB AIRFLOW
Yes, there are half-price boxes with supposedly similar features, but the quality is paid for, like the brand, let’s not kid ourselves either. The option to choose this chassis and not another that can fulfill a similar function in terms of cooling comes from the options of RGB lightingwhere we can synchronize the memories with the fans that it has in the front and also add three more that will be controlled by an independent system that it has, so that we can have a controlled configuration with a single program that is also a reference in the sector.
But it has more qualities as such, such as its dual camera system, its perforated front panel, its magnetic dust filters, heat-tempered glassit’s compact, it’s just sober and just spectacular and something little added today in the chassis and which is curiously missing: a reset button.
This component is a bit dependent on taste and aesthetics, but for all that said, we think it’s more than a selectable option, but each will have different options if you’re looking for a lower price. , more quality or just another design you like more.
And so far our PC for Overwatch 2, with top notch quality and components, good warranty, good performance, good sound and maybe not such a good price considering the situation in which we find ourselves, but there we cannot do anything.
