Intel 12th gen gaming PC price
The overall cost can be quite staggering but this is down to the base of this build featuring the next-gen of parts. To save money, you could opt for the lesser-powered Core i7-12700K and pair it with a more affordable Z690. You could also go for a lower-speed RAM kit, while still taking advantage of DDR5, and could grab a cheaper PC case with a more affordable PSU too.
We wanted to build the best Intel 12th gen PC here but we understand that only a minority of gamers can actually afford such luxuries. Another way to save money would be to go for an RTX 3060Ti, however, we wouldn’t recommend pairing this with the i9 CPU shown in the build above, as it would be better suited to an i5-12600K.
