Building a Custom PC

Gipper

Hello! I am looking at making a gaming PC with a budget of $2,500. The parts that I currently have ready to order is:

Intel i9 10th gen, MSI - B460 MAG Tomahawk Intel LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard, 32 GBs of RAM, Corsair - iCUE 4000X RGB Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case - Black, 850W Power source, ASRock - AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT Challenger D Dual-Fan 12GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card, and then finally (the last big item) 4 TB of HDD along with 512 GB of SDD.

Just checking to make sure all this will work and there wouldn't be any issues with the build.

Greetings. Which specific i9 processor were you looking at?

You can use a part picker such as https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx to get an idea on any incompatibilities

It's a base 3.6 with a 5.2/3 turbo.

Yes, all the parts you listed would be fine to use together.

The B460 chipset would be a bottleneck for an i9 CPU. I would recommend a Z490 board to use all the features of the 10850K CPU and the performance of your memory. I put together a quick build here that can show you what kind of a build you can do for about $2500 based on your config:
