Let’s take a look at that.   Intel Gaming PC Parts List Here’s a quick rundown on the parts list that I use for the Intel build. The CPU is the Core i5 9400F featuring six cores without hyper-threading. For memory, I went with Corsair Vengeance 16GB LPX kit clocked at 2666 megahertz. The motherboard of choice was the ASRock B365M Phantom Gaming 4. For storage, I went with the Silicon Power A80 NVMe SSD. The GPU choice was the EGA GTX 1660 SC Ultra and powering the entir
