Question Help in building a PC for gaming

[pepejr]

Hi,
I want to build a PC that will be running games in 4k on ultra settings with at least 60 FPS in most of the games.
This is what I've come up with so far.

CPU : Intel i7-13700K
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z790-A WIFI
GPU: Palit GeForce RTX 4080 GameRock OC 16GB
RAM: Kingston FURY 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL32 Renegade Silver
SSD: Kingston 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe KC3000 and WD SN850X 2TB
Cooler: Corsair iCUE H170i ELITE CAPELLIX 3x140mm
Case: Fractal Design Define 7 XL Black TG Light Tint
PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 11 1000W 80 Plus Platinum

I am debating whether to change Case and/or cooler for something else.

Will this build be okay? Can you suggest if I should change something in my build? I would appreciate it.

Here's another take on your build @pepejr . Let's be honest ... is there anything more ominous than an all black gaming build (think Darth Vader). I'd wait until January 3rd when Intel is due to release their locked cpu's along with the B760 / H770 boards.

We clearly disagree fundamentally, I do everything and their base all my opinions on value. This is largely down to not being rich and being able to throw money away on something that is 5% better for 50% more money. I think you are underestimating the fact that firstly lots of people will get caught up in the hype for Halo products they can't afford and it is therefore sensible to have some voices that put the value case. It is clear you (and likely others) will put the opposite so I don't see your issue. Also if you have $1000 and you spend it all on GPU X because it is the best from a performance point of view you are assuming A that the OP will be able to get the same value out of the differential from the next product down the stack as you clearly do. They could spend $500 of GPU Y and then use the other $500 to improve their PC, or wider life in a way larger way than the difference between X and Y.

You know what? I'm actually starting to LIKE you man. I mean, at least you stay true to you convictions and don't back down or blather about crap nobody cares about. You have a position that you like, and so cool, I respect that. We don't agree, but we agree to disagree, and that's almost the same. LOL.

Value is Performance per dollar/pound/euro etc. The idea that Value is not a consideration is inane. Obviously it only applies at the moment of the purchase, Tech will always bring out something newer and better in some short amount of time but that doesn't invalidate making the best value decision on the day you make the purchase.

I respect your thoughts on this, but if an OP is willing to spend their money on a $1500 or even $2000 gpu am i not going to disagree with them. It's their money and they can spend it as they want and if they have the budget for it should there be no reason to say wrong decision based on personal beliefs.

 

[Darkbreeze]

And, I agree with that. Would I spend that kind of money on a graphics card? No. But what you do with your money is your business and if you want to get a bit of advice before spending it, well, that kind of makes sense if you are trying to avoid making a mistake choosing between products. Which, is basically the ENTIRE point of this forum aside from troubleshooting endeavors.
