CPU bottleneck?

[Eddyy]

Hi guys, I decided to join this forum after watching LTT videos for awhile.

 

Recently I bought a newly built PC from a Store in Singapore and I just let them recommend me which parts to include in the build with the budget I gave them.

 

I have received the PC and then out of curiosity decided to do a bit of research on whether they did a good job.

I am a little concerned that the CPU might be bottlenecking my build considering I am running a 4070 TI.

Hope to get some advice so I can make more informed choices next time I build another PC. Image attached shows my build.

It's fine

this should be fine, maybe at 1080p you'll have some bottlenecks but for the most part this should be good at 1440p (where the 4070 ti feels most at home)

More concerned in how much they charge you, but that build is pretty much the few what id build anyway around 1600$-1800$, especially considering that this is an ITX build.

I paid about $2640 USD for this.

If the place is close to where you live then I don't see why not.

You'll never get a PC that's perfectly "balanced" for all games.... i.e. where everything maxes out at the same time, with no bottlenecks or limitations (or over-spending on any component).... theoretically possible for one app/game, but impossible for all scenarios.

 

In terms of your spec: the CPU and RAM will most likely be the bottleneck compared to the the GPU, but not by generations or orders of magnitude.

 

As per Filpo's comment - an RTX4070 should be for 1440P gaming, but you will see a really measurable bottleneck if you are doing 1080P gaming, but probably only at VERY high frame rates anyway.

 

If you had a K-skew i5 and high spec (higher MT/sec AND lower latency!) memory, then you'd probably be in a slightly better balance, but not worth spending the money on that for what would be very marginal gains, especially in any higher graphics settings or higher resolution scenarios (1440P+).

Thanks everyone for your advice. You guys were super helpful!
