Rx 5700XT + 4690K?

Hi there

 

I hope GPU is the right section here. If not then im deeply sorry

 

My current system is running a 970 and a 4690k, both at stock clocks. This has been fine for 1080p @ 60fps but i have recently upgraded my monitor and i am now in the market for a upgrade. The point of upgrading would be to play at 1440p at closer to 144 fps. When upgrading i also consider that i want to be able to run mac os in addition to gaming. My eyes have landed on a RX 5700XT since i cant afford to upgrade my whole system. 

 

Would the combo of a 4690k and a rx5700 xt be okay and not be destroyed by bottlenecks? 

 

Thanks

When you say 4790k, is that i7 or i5?

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Depends on what games you play but most modern open world games like assassin's Creed or ghost recon or red dead 2 or whatever...far cry etc. your cpu will have a very hard time with...so if you're into those you'll want a new cpu soon for sure.

 

Get the card yes but start saving money for a ryzen 3600 with a board and ram
