Question Buying New PC, looking for recommendations

[Vanz_000]

Hi All,

Looking at a new PC, see below for choices so far, thoughts?

• CPU =$485 Intel® Core™ Processor i9-14900K 8P/16 + 16E 3.20GHz [Turbo 6.0GHz] 36MB Cache LGA1700
• Mobo =$220 ASUS PRIME Z790-P WIFI D5 DDR5 ATX w/ Wi-Fi 6, 2.5GbT LAN, (4)PCIe x16,(1)PCIe x1, (3)M.2, (4)SATA
• PSU = $170 1,000 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Gold w/ PCIE 12+4Pins Connector for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards
• GPU = $1200 MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GDRR6X 256-Bit HDMI/DP Nvlink Tri-Frozr 3 Ada Lovelace Architecture Graphics Card (RTX 4080 16GB Ventus 3X OC)
• Case = $150 LIAN LI PC-O11 Dynamic EVO XL Full-Tower Dual chamber Gaming Case Seamless View Tempered glass on the front & side [No Fan] (Black Color)
• Cooling = $160 Corsair iCUE H115i RGB Elite Liquid CPU Cooler
• RAM = $127 G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series (Intel XMP 3.0) DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 7200MT/s CL34-45-45-115 1.40V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM
• SSD Boot HD = $90 ADATA 2TB SSD Legend 850 LITE, NVMe PCIe Gen4 x 4 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drive, Speed up to 5,000MB/s

total = $2600

Some questions:
1. Been awhile since I updated a PC, not familiar with liquid cooling, any advice or recommendations or things to watch for in general? Plan to watch some youtube install vids first…
2. Looking for really quiet fans, any suggestions or do you think the above will be pretty quiet?
3. I want to somewhat future proof this and be able to plug in a RTX 5090 or even 6090, should I go to 1200W PSU, anything else look like it could be a problem for next gen GPUs?

Standard PSU = red flag to me what exact make and model PSU.

The rest depends on what the PC will be used for.

That board with its 14 phase power design isn't really cut out for that 14 gen unlocked i9. I'd also be looking at a case that fits a 420 AIO such as the lian Li Lancool III.

This wouldn't happen to be a Cyberpower purchase would it? If so do not buy. Cyberpower is an absolute joke among serious system builders and enthusiasts due to their overall poor build quality and overuse of generic components. As has already been said, pairing a generic PSU with a 4090 is already bad news. And there's potentially lots of other red flags too.

Upgrading to a 14900K won't make this future proof necessarily, especially for gaming. Anything more than an i7 and in most cases, an i5, is diminishing marginal returns on your purchase. In other words, you won't get the benefits you paid for, for use in a gaming environment.

awesome, thank you helper800... why did you choose the Intel Core i7-14700K over the i9-14900K, other than cost was there a reason?

Also, if you could spend $400 more helper800, what would you upgrade? Also, would like to be able to put in a RTX 5090 or even RTX 6090 in the future if possible...

Main use = gaming PC, Cyberpunk 2077 , Elden Ring ...etc

If the 13700K cost less than the 14700K I would get it.
For spending 400 more it would depend on the monitor your going to use.

Haven't picked a monitor yet, looking at these:

SAMSUNG 43" Odyssey Neo G7
Gigabyte AORUS FV43U 43" 144Hz 2160p HBR3, NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible

using this for now... AOC C32G2 32" Curved Frameless Gaming Monitor FHD, 1500R Curved VA, 1ms, 165Hz

do you have recommendations?

That is a 4K monitor you need a 4090 video card.
You can drop down to a 14600K and probably fit it in your budget. Also would require less cooling.
@4K resolution the video card means a lot more than the processor the 14600K would be a much better choice if you can get the 4090 with it.

so this guy I was watching the other day was gaming at 4K with a RTX 4080 and seemed to think it was fine, why are you saying I would need a 4090?

Can you game at 4K 144 FPS with the RTX 4080

is it to ensure the FPS are always above the 144... is the adaptive sync crap?

thanks for your comment by the way, much appreciated...

[Why_Me]

My opinion on Raptor Lake Refresh is that it's great for peeps doing a lot of productivity work such as video editing for example but it more or less does nothing for gamers and the casual user. E-cores don't do much for gaming and that's what Intel has been doing these past few years .. adding more E-cores. As far as monitor resolution goes for gaming ... 1440P is the sweet spot. It allows you great frames per second without breaking the bank while giving you a solid picture.

I'd run that build like this. Replace the 140mm fan that's included with that case with the 140mm ARBG fan down below. Easy to work with case that has great airflow and offers plenty of options. This gpu (RTX 4080 Super 20GB) is due for release this January. You can use the integrated graphics that come with this cpu until then.

In normal circumstances that gpu should have been named RTX 4080 Ti 20GB. Personally I like the 'Ti' name better than 'Super'. Less to type and easy to remember. You can purchase everything now but the gpu. Use the integrated graphics that comes with that cpu for now and once that card is released jump on it.

okay, I was thinking in case I scratch it or F it up in some way, usually they are so cheap anyways... might still order some, don't want to delay my $2600 build waiting for a ten dollar thing...

so this guy I was watching the other day was gaming at 4K with a RTX 4080 and seemed to think it was fine, why are you saying I would need a 4090?

thanks for your comment by the way, much appreciated...

Using DLSS in more demanding titles the 4080 would work @ 4K. Like he said most people can't tell the difference about like max and high settings most people can't tell the difference.

The 4090 is massively overpriced, I might wait till after the first of the year and see what the 4080 Super performance to price will be.

For gaming the 14700K will be all you need.

 

[Why_Me]

Here's the differences between the 13700K and 14700K in regards to frames per second, power consumption, etc .. I would post the review from this site but for some arsenine reason Tom's refuses to install a dropdown menu in their reviews.

P-cores (big cores) are what counts for gamers and casual users. E-cores (little cores) are more or less helper cores for peeps who are into using multi threaded apps / programs.

Look on here for P-cores and E-cores and do the math.

The difference is literally like 3.5 FPS, it's not enough to make that much of a difference. It's a 0.01% increase over the previous generation.

Expect the RTX 4080 Super 20GB to sit between the RTX 4090 24GB and the RX 7900 XTX 24GB on here.

quick questions, is there a way to turn the lights off on these fans, or do I need to buy with no lights? I often sleep with my PC on at night and I don't want my room lighting up like a disco club...
