Hello,
I am planning to upgrade my rig for both a better Gaming and Productivity experience. And with this Thread i want to ask if my build, which i came up with, in my mind, after 1 or 2 months of researches depending on my needs is harmonic (since it will be my first custom build, even though it's only half custom):
I plan to buy:
MOBO: MSI B760M PROJECT ZERO
CPU: I7-14700K
GPU: ASUS TUF GAMING 5070 TI OC
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 2x16GB 6000MHz CL30
PSU: MSI MPG A1000G Gen5 1000W
What i currently use:
MOBO: MSI PRO H610M-E (1 year old)
CPU: I5-12400F (2,5 years old)
Cooler: PowerBoost 120mm Liquid Cooling (2 years old)
GPU: ASUS TUF GAMING 3060 TI OC ((2,5 years old))
RAM: CRUCIAL Ballistix 2x8GB 2400MHz (5+ years old)
PSU: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750W (1 year old)
CASE: RAMPART RAMPAGE for ATX, M-ATX, I-ATX, maximum possible fan amount: 6 (3 front, 2 top, 1 rear) (2,5 years old)
So, i don't really plan to change my case unless you think my current case is not going to be good especially for my CPU pick which is recommended to have 360 fans...
For gaming i currently play games (everyday) at 1080p with my 3060 TI and with the 5070 TI i plan to play 1080p/1440p depending on CPU bottleneck, i never look forward to 4k gaming, it's a little over for me. Also i want to be able to play games that will drop in the future 1080p60fps such as GTA 6. I don't mind playing 1440p, it's just i never did, all i know is that higher resolutions can give more fps. So depending on the game for stable 60fps 1080p/1440p.
For productivity i use Davinci Resolve (free version) and Adobe Photoshop approximately 10-12 hours a week. But depending on the new rigs better performance i will probably work more with Davinci/Photoshop. Stutters on davinci annoy me and makes me just want to go full speed through video editing without much thinking -> lower quality video. A usual 1 hr edit takes double the time which demotivates me.
1-2 months of researching in pcpartpicker, cpu/gpu-userbenchmark, hours of youtube benchmark videos, comparing CPU/GPU weather amd or intel or nvidia, I came to the conclusion that both Intel and Nvidia is better for builds that do both gaming and productivity. But i also want your opinion on this! Should i leave my PSU as it is or upgrade from 750w to the 1000w? Does 14700K still have those heat/wattage issues? Do i need a better case? Please give me some advices!
