Need advice: is this a good build for my needs?
Posted by Ganeneester@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 17 comments
Hi all, I need some feedback on the build list that I put together. Is this a fine build that keeps me going for the next coming years?
Usecase: my main use will be gaming (Planet Coaster 2 on good quality, 60 fps, GTA IV on good settings, Assassins Creed and other upcoming games) and video/photo editting. Next to that I want to experiment with some local AI and just want something that is somewhot future proof.
Items that are in my basket in a shop in the Netherlands:
CPU: Intel Core i7-14700KF — €359 Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS (DDR5) — €115 RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16) DDR5-6000 CL30 — €529 Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 1TB NVMe M.2 — €199 GPU: ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC — €659 PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 12M 750W 80+ Gold (BN343) — €110 Cooling: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 240mm AIO — €68 Case: Fractal Design North Mesh Charcoal Black — €141
Total:2.180
I already have the sutff like monitor, mouse, keyboard. Probably only need to get a Windows License.
Thanks in advance!

terrible build.
get AMD cpu just better for gaming and you can also upgrade CPU in the future with it.
the mobo that you picked is dogshit, with the CPU that you picked you probably throttle...

Thanks for the honest feedback! Sorry for being a noob, haha. I researched for a bit andI saw that the Intel CPU was a better choice for versatility if i wanted to do some video and photo editing and stuff. But the AMD can handle that fine aswell?
dask1@reddit
yes, this is easy job for that CPU.
sure, the intel one probably will the the same rendering job like 10% faster, but the AMD is deliver you a lot more FPS, more stable, a lot cooler (A LOT!), ability to upgrade in the future.
and more importantly the CPU wont die you, intel LGA1700 have some issues... (i unfortunately have 13600k)

Thanks a lot! I'm going to look into it!
dask1@reddit
btw you can also upgrade CPU to 9800x3d since you care also for productivity and not only gaming...

This is when I order everything from one shop
dask1@reddit
seems that you want to get everything from Azerty for some reason?
anyway, if im limiting PCPP to only from this seller i would do this:
https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/TZZ9Np
-i stick with the AIO that u picked, even tho im not sure why u getting AIO? it wont give u any performance boost, and idk i dont think u care about the inside aesthetics?
-the mobo that u picked is way too expansive, i picked u something similar, personally i would get even something cheaper but it sems that u insist on b850 and ATX for some reason.
-the NVME u picked is EXTREMMLY OVERPRICD!
i found u for almost the same price 2tb with the same quality (have dram as well), personally i would avoid Samsung nvmes because they kinda insist u install their shitty bloatware "Samsung magician".
-why u picked this expansive ram? not a single reason to get it even if it were 5$ more vs what i picked, in fact your most likely use the inferior Samsung die while my Hynix. (didnt checked but most likely... it really not that important tho)
-really worth to pay extra and get the 9070xt.
-not a fan of this case because of the price (also get exhaust fan for this case...)
-100w more same tier PSU. (as i said they are the same tier but mine is SeaSonic manufacture and they are imo the best manufacture of PSUs they one of the biggest...)
so, my build is 100 euro less, slightly better gaming performance due to better GPU and 2tb drive.
so sry i would say that the build that u made is not good...

The 1000W from Azerty is non modular compared to the 750 that I can get from the same shop (they don't offer the 1000 as non modular), I googled and saw that that can have an impact on the build for airflow and such. But the interesting thing is that the 1000w is cheaper than the 750.

I think this will be it! Thanks a lot😁

For a similar price, this system has a much better gaming CPU and GPU.

Thanks for the feedback! One big thing that made me go for the Intel was the versatility when using video edtiing / photo editing. But would you say that will also not be a problem for the build you mention? Really appreciate it!
aragorn18@reddit
How much gaming vs. photo/video editing will you be doing. Intel chips can be faster for photo/video editing, but it's not like AMD's CPUs are bad at it.
Ganeneester@reddit (OP)
I think it will be 50% gaming 50% editing. I really look for an allround good pc. I don't need 4k gaming, but just want something that is future proof and that I can also use as a reliable and powerfull workstation.
aragorn18@reddit
Then the Intel 270K Plus is worth considering.

Thanks, I'll look into it!
