Question Build good, for my needs?

[darryl305]

SO another "Is this build good?" question. Here is the part list:

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/darryl305/saved/#view=tVxGkL

So, the build I am going for here is LONGEVITY!! To put it like this, my current PC is an i5 skylake, and a 970gtx

So, I am looking for a build that will be great for current gaming, at 1440p. Also streaming, and video editing, and pehaps will be doing some things on UNreal 5
I am hoping for a system that will be mechanicly strong enough, as to the parts and componets, to last many many years, Even if it gets to the point where I am well out of date for current gaming needs, it will still run, not burn out or have part failure.

Price is oif a concern, yes. But I canm spend a little extra if its worht it. Thats why I went with an I7. I believe an I5 woulde be more than fine for my gaming and primary use, but, the I7 is only like $100 extra. SO , why not? That being said, my budget range is about $1500-$2200

This build?
You need better CPU cooler.

For the same price you can build an AMD system on that will have an upgrade path.

This is a good review of the 13700k vs the 7700X. If you need a workstation then the Intel would be the right choice but for gaming the 7700X is the better choice for one reason in particular.

The LGA 1700 socket ends at the 13000 series and has no fututre upgrade path.

The 7700X is on a new socket that does have an upgrade path.

You can build as is.

Some thoughts:

Hyper212 is cheap but not that effective.
I found one difficult to install.
Consider the Thermalright peerless assassin:
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-se

Spend the extra $25 or so to get the 13700K non F version which includes integrated graphics.
Having integrated graphics is good for testing and can keep you running if you have discrete graphics card issues.
Plus, integrated gives you quicksync which can help with video editing:

AS others have pointed out, the Hyper 212 is not strong enough for that CPU.

Ideally go big air, Like a Noctua NH-D15, or a good AIO 240-280.

This will ensure little or no throttling, along with keeping temps regular looking enough. These chips are designed to run hot.

Personally I would do it like this with that type of budget. You can get a 7XX0X3D when it comes out in about a month if you want significantly more performance and return the 7700. I left room in the budget for it. The 7900X3D will cover all your use cases with ease.

Thanks for all the info. I think I am going to go for the AMD after all. Even though, at present, the Intel "might" be more worth it, as you have stated, I am thinking about future upgrades. in 4 or 5 years, AMD may have a newer CPU with great performence upgrade, and the price could be right.

Hey, so looking at the build link you sent me. I did notice you picked out a diiferent PSU? Just curiousHat would make the Segate PSU better than the Corsair, to justify the extra $50 id have to spend?

You could get either but Seasonic does make good psu's as well.

I game with a 5800x3d and 4070TI at 1440p and it's just fantastic, buttery smooth with all the eye candy tuened on. I've built both AMD and Intel gaming PC's over the years, I've had no complaints at all with the last two AMD rigs.

 

[helper800]

Seasonic and Corsair have been making (designing) the best PSUs for about a decade now. Cannot go wrong with either of them. Seasonic is generally more expensive.

Here's a few changes to consider. That case down below was released a few months ago and was named case of the year on multiple review sites. Unlike the CM 212, this cpu cooler down below will easily handle the i7.

i7 12700 / 12700F gaming benchmarks. The difference between the locked 12 Gen i7 and unlocked i7 is one frame per second. I doubt it's any different with the 13 Gen i7's.

in 4 or 5 years, AMD may have a newer CPU with great performence upgrade, and the price could be right.

Have you asked yourself how likely it will be that in 4 or 5 years you will be able to upgrade your AMD CPU without buying a new motherboard?

Highly, highly likely there will be 2 more CPU releases on this socket from AMD.

 

[darryl305]

I dont see why I would? The motherboard is an AM 5 socket which was just released a few months ago. While I realize in maybe 5 years they may have release a new socket by then, I would imagine there should be several newer CPU, along with RAM and video cards released in in 3 or 4 years from now..
