Is this a good combination of hardware?

[Jun Ishiwata]

I'm planning on upgrading my pc to : 

i9-13900K
ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-F GAMING WIFI
Corsair 64 GB DDR5-6000

How do these components work together?

I already have a Gigabyte Aero 4080.

Also will a 850W psu be enough?

Kind regards,

Technically it will be enough but i honesntly think its better if you go with a 1000w psu. Also a 13700k is essentially the same in performance as 13900k but at least its able to cool it. Also btw next time and for later reference post topics like these in the New Builds and Planning section

Good 850W PSU with is enough if you don't overclock, for overclocking even good 850W unit will struggle.

Parts you have listed are good, but no one can tell if they are good for price you are paying in it or not, they may even be waste of money if there are better parts available for same price.

Make a list at PCPartPicker and link it, make sure country is selected correctly and prices are listed correctly.

850W should handle a ~250-260W CPU and 320W GPU with some room to spare.

OP didn't mention a cooler? 13900K isn't impossible to cool, a 280mm or 360mm AIO will handle it fine, especially if you enable power limits, typically lose little to no perceivable performance, while cutting power draw by a good bit. 

 

I would say that you can likely get a 13600K and see no difference in games, if you want to save the $ over a 13900K. If you do anything outside of games that can take advantage of more cores though, the 13900K is an absolute monster.

What are you going to run that will require a 13900?

 

Or 64GB RAM?

Thank you so much for the reply, my psu is a be quiet! Pure Power 12M 850W. I bought this one cause it has the 12v connector for the 4080 since i dont trust the splitter. For pricing its not that big of a problem since its funded by the company thank you for your concern tho!

PSU should be perfectly fine unless you overclock.

4080 pulls less power than its previous generation counterparts

 

 

 

I run a 3080 and 13700k on an old 850w Seasonic Focus Plus Gold, should be fine

I use a 360mm AIO ( NZXT Kraken Z73)  Im using After effects and 3D a lot for work so that why i would choose a 13900k but if you say a 13600K is fine too then i would opt for that.

For work stuff the 13900K is indeed a lot faster, there's legitimate reason to get one there. Puget has a review of it in creator workloads here: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/13th-gen-intel-core-processors-content-creation-review-2369/#Motion_GraphicsVFX_Adobe_After_Effects

 

Relevant summary slide for AE:

 

That 360mm AIO should cool it fine.

Can you use your gpu for rendering?

 

Then the 13900k is kinda useless as well the gpu is always faster.

 

That pudget bench shows it well.

 

There is also the other interesting tidbit of going amd as you'll still have an upgrade path later if you so wish.

 

Normally I dont suggest this but since the 7950x and a 13900k (without exotic cooling) arent too far apart it might be a worthwhile ivestment.

 

Any decent b650 board handles a 7950x too no problem so dont even need an expensive board

I see, I've never been a big AMD fan to be honest so im a bit on the fence with it.. In the past always had problems with the GPU's so... but it might be a route to think about yes !

I mean they are entirely differenr devisions and amd cpu's have been solid for the last 5 years

[jaslion]

To add to this if your gpu is doing all the 3d rendering (it really should optix allows for basically finished render results in real time) then the cpu is basically not even a backup for that.

 

After effects has cpu and gpu portions so there it is more usefull but again all the 3d effects stuff is almost always gpu. 2d manipulations most of the time too. The real thing is basically just transcoding the files to a different format where the gpu isnt always relevant and there the difference between a 13900k (assuming you can cool it properly and tweak it a bit) vs a 7950x in overdrive (aka just like intel letting it go to 100c for max speed) leads to a minimal performance difference. Only reason amd is slower whilst being faster in other cpu's tests is adobe being intel first. A lot less these days but you can still see it from time to time.
