Hi, I've built a PC myself. It will be used for 3D CAD work and, in my free time (if available), for gaming. Here it is, please be honest.P.S. It has 64GB RAM because the 32GB RAM in our school PCs (HTL) is regularly maxed out. Also, I want this PC to last for 10 years without needing any major upgrades. Monitor will come later, it's not that important.

Basic Configuration:

  • Case: ENDORFY Arx 700 Air
  • CPU: Intel Core i7 14700K 8+12x 3.40Ghz / Turbo up to 5.60Ghz / 28 Threads
  • Motherboard: MSI B760 Tomahawk WIFI
  • Graphics Card: nVidia RTX4070 SUPER 12Gb (various models)
  • RAM: ADATA XPG Lancer 64Gb DDR5 6000Mhz CL30 Kit (2x 32Gb)
  • SSD: ADATA Legend 850 1TB M.2 PCIe SSD
  • Power Supply: ADATA XPG Kyber 750W Gold ATX 3.0
  • Network: Onboard Gigabit LAN
  • Sound Card: Onboard Soundchip
Cooling:

  • CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 36

I didn't cross reference the specs but Toms gave the GS27F a good review.

The FE is Nvidia's reference card. Whatever card you can get for cheap.
So the "GIGABYTE G27F 2, 27"" has the best price to performance ratio
GIGABYTE G27F, 27" has the worst price to performance ratio
GIGABYTE GS27F, 27" idk if its better for my useage
GIGABYTE GS27Q, 27" idk if its better for my useage, could be the best but is more expensive than the G27F2

And to the FE´s, they are actually some worse cards or? I dont understand the sentence (Im not an native english speaker)

Don't get the FE card. Look at Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and Zotac.
