CPU side the 5700g is more like a 3700x, with a dedicated GPU. FPS, in this review, for many titles, I would consider unacceptable performance.

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G APU Review: Radeon GPU Inside

The Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. It used to be OEM only but it's now landing on retail...

www.techspot.com

So get a getting CPU ~8-10% slower than a 5800x when it costs 320 dollars (5700g) vs 400 dollars (5800x) is a bad value proposition when it can also game, but getting a 1300 dollar card vs its 600 dollar MSRP is good. Like I said, when talking strictly value right now compared to the alternatives, the 5700g is great.

Paying $1200 for a system that can barely handle any modern title is a poor value. If you are going to spend roughly $1200, get something that can actually handle modern titles. 5600g vs 5700g doesn't really matter, CPU gaming performance wise. Gen 4 vs Gen 3 doesn't matter, for games. I only chose one earlier, because it fit within the budget. A 2tb Crucial P5 would have sufficed, and saved them $100. 16gb is still enough, for now. The used market is always an option, for gpu, but many would prefer to have the warranty of a new card. An 11400 would be better, and doable with $1200, but you would lose out on better upgrade options.

All of this really is a moot point, as the OP was asking for a rig over twice this. If they were not comfortable with spending that much, they wouldn't have put one together for that price. No, personally, I wouldn't buy an RTX 3070ti, or any RX 3000 series card, for that matter, especially with inflated prices. The OP is willing to shell out on one. If they wanted to wait a year, on potato graphics, they would have asked about such a build, from the start. Since they didn't, we suggested builds of a similar cost, but offered more for their budget. Gaming PC costs are a poor value, but you do the best you can, with the money willing to be spent.

I completely understand, I just wanted to let the OP know that there is a viable alternative to doing what he was intending to do. If they really want to shell out 1300 dollars for that GPU then my advice will be heeded but ultimately ignored and I am fine with that as long as there was an understanding. What you call potato graphics is also a bit misleading considering it can play many games, especially popular competitive games, at 60+ fps at 1080p. That's better than the first "gaming" PC I built. Thanks for at least contemplating my opinion and forming a reasonable response.

Hi! was hoping someone could look at my build and let me know whether this is a good build? First time builder so a little inexperienced and would greatly appreciate the help, thank you!

What resolution are you going to be gaming at, and what games are you going to be playing now and into the future? The reason I ask is because at least a 3060 ti is a much better value at 810 or a used 3070 for 815 than a new 3070 ti is at 1250-1300.

Intel Core i5-11400F Review - The Best Rocket Lake

The Core i5-11400F is Intel's most affordable Rocket Lake processor. While its multiplier is locked, you can still adjust the power limit. Once we did that, the CPU ran over 15% faster and almost matched the Core i5-11600K. We also made an interesting discovery regarding Gear 1 vs. Gear 2.

Why would you buy an 11400f for $207, when you can get a regular 11400, for $199?
