Question PLEASE Critique my build before I buy it!

The list looks good!

You would need the Pro version only if you want the virtualization features and encryption. For gaming and content creation, the home edition would do.

But i would ask you to wait till the 4080 super and decide on this. you might even have price cuts on the vanilla 4080.

I do run a home business do you think the encryption would help with personal security? I try and back up everything fairly often on a 6TB drive. And what is virtualization if I may ask? Lastly, I agree I think I will wait to see what happens with the 4080 super. Do you think the 4080 / 14900k combo will out perform the 7090X3d / 7900xtx for my use case?

Tarkov with run great with an i7 and the i7 is a solid cpu in regards to video editing.

I mean I don't mind paying a little more for my "dream" build I just don't know if I want to pay out the $4k price tag for the 4090 aswell. So I am basically trying to find the next best option for around $3,000 or maybe a touch over is fine tbh. Do you think I am just going to have a better time with a 4080 and a 14900k?

Thats assuming the 4080 super launches for 1200 USD.

Swapping the CPU and mobo for 14900k and a Z790 mobo like the MSI Z790 Pro A would bring the total to 2880 USD for the above build. And i have not included Win 11 in the list. So you decide...

Regarding getting the 4080 super at MSRP: the GPU announcement would be on Jan 9th i think. After the announcement, retailers would have the pre order links up and running. Check everyday and register yourself and hope for the best 🤞

is the 7900xtx really outperforming the 4080 here?

Wait a few weeks from now for the reviews of the 4080 Super that's due out this month. As far as a cpu I would look at the 13700K or the 14700K.

How come not the 14900k?

should I just grab this and move on with my life and the build lol https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1750958-REG/pny_vcg409024tfxpb1_geforce_rtx_4090_24gb.html

is this a good price for a 4090 right now? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1750958-REG/pny_vcg409024tfxpb1_geforce_rtx_4090_24gb.html

If you are okay with paying well over MSRP ($1600) for the part that's a decent current price.

The encryption also slows down storage performance if I am not wrong. So there is a trade off. Virtualisation for running sandboxes and cloud management of other devices.

The power draw between the 14900k and 14700k is about 30w

The temps are again similar. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i7-14700k/24.html

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i9-14900k/24.html

Regarding performance, gpu wise both 4080 super and 7900xtx should be similar. The 7950x3d with manually configured gaming x3d gaming cores would have a slight edge.

In premier pro? Intel/nvidia like shown in puget system's testing.

I just don't know if I can justify it. I kinda just feel like a 4080 is all I need for 1440p you know?

I trust you based off everything you've shared so far I think your reasoning on everything checks out and I don't see any bias. What would you do if it was your decision and your money?

You said it. Indeed the 4080 is more than enough for 2k.

Oh I didn't say it was a good idea, and I wouldn't even buy a 4080 (current pricing) as the value of pretty much everything is suspect this generation. Waiting for the 40 series Supers is a very good idea at this point as it may push some pricing into better territory.

For sure I am just very excited it's hard to be patient haha.

You are not an esports gamer who wants the lowest latency possible I guess. But if you want a good and stable experience, both the 14900k and 7950x3d give that to you.

But I would go for intel nvidia as you also use premier pro. You have 2 more weeks to make up your mind XD

Reviews should be out by Jan 21 according to rumors.

Take me for example, I am waiting for the 4070ti super!
