The reason why I wouldn't go with a 13700k is because I did the same when the i9 9900k came out. But I went for the i7 9700k and it is struggling right now. I wouldn't need an upgrade if I bought the i9 9900k.

 

That is very different. A 9700k was obviously not going to cut it and seen as a downgrade in the i7 category compared to the 8700k. The 9700k was a meant to be bad cpu by only having 8 threads which many saw as not a cpu that would last. Hence why slower cpu's from that time with more threads are doing a lot better nowadays.

 

The 13700k is quite a bit faster than the current consoles cpu's and is actually coolable. The 13900k is a stupid cpu that is extremely hard to run at stock without overheating.

 

Pcie 5.0 is something you don't need to even look at. By the time it becomes even remotely relevant you'll want a different computer. For some reason we are rushing super hard to the next pcie version with 6.0 being there next year most likely. For gamers 3.0 is still fine and the 4090 is the FIRST card to show a 5% performance difference.

 

Basically I'm saying a simple board is plenty good.

 

Ddr5 is only worth it if you get proper fast stuff otherwise cheap ddr4 is still equally good.

 

Btw for you a 7800x3d would actually be EPIC. It's THE top tier gaming cpu. For video editing it will be a bit slower than a 13700k but that is up to you. As per your request I will opt for a intel system.

 

One other note any reason for a 4090? Are you gaming at 4k 144hz? If not skip it and opt for a cheaper card then upgrade later. Will give you the better system for less money.

Budget (including currency): Uncapped $

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, Streaming and Video editing.

 

The highlight of this build should be an i9 13900k and a RTX 4090.

Need help with the in between. Things don't need to be the highest price for that specific components. For example, I don't need a ROG STRIX maximus extreme when I can just get the maximus hero. It needs to be future resistance. Also, I will need ddr5 ram and PCIe5. Thank you so much for everything much love for the assistance.

Okay... one last plea here... Go AMD... You'll get far better performance at a better price.

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech. I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

 

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

IMO, this is simply not true. The CPU market moves very quickly and chips from the same generation usualy become outdated at roughly the same time.

I think you'd need an upgrade as well.. Difference between a 13900K and 13700k is 8 additional *ecores* and 5% faster clocks on the Pcores

That doesn't make it more future proof at all...

But well let's dance 🙂

420mm CPU cooler because the case will fit one and it isn't far off the price of a good 360. 2TB MP34 for OS/apps (it's a cheap drive with high TBW rating + 5 year warranty, no need for a 4.0 drive for OS/general app use), SN850X for anything that'll take advantage of 4.0 speeds. The motherboard is a bit... funky, but it's a reasonably priced board that has a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, so once those are more common/affordable you can snag one without needing a new motherboard. Rest of the components should be self explanatory, the case includes 3x 140mm fans which should be fine for 2x intake + 1x exhaust, so no need to add more fans to the list.

I like this list. Why such an expensive 4090 variant though?

The Arctic 420 AIO despite being A-RGB, because it is best of class and non A-RGB is out of stock.

 

Z790 Tomahawk is a reasonably priced motherboard with very good VRM.

 

The Suprim X is perhaps the quietest RTX 4090.

 

The PSU has native support for the 12VHPWR connector used by the GPU.

I like this list. Why such an expensive 4090 variant though?

ASUS tends to make good cards, from the reviews I peeked into when Ada Lovelace dropped the TUF Gaming is a good card, the OC model is only $30 more than the base so why the hell not it's margin of error at this budget. Everyone who isn't EVGA generally has a shit reputation on support, so might as well get the best built card to hopefully dodge any hardware issues, which in my experience is usually an ASUS card. They've had their bad eggs but I believe that was mostly on the motherboard side, I've seen EVGA have more issues with GPUs than ASUS has.

That's true. Honestly the FE is the best bet 99% of the time if you can find one.

This is probably the most expensive PC I'm comfortable recommending if you're exclusively gaming.

You should wait for 14th gen if you're adamant about Intel in case you want an upgrade path.

The reason why I wouldn't go with a 13700k is because I did the same when the i9 9900k came out. But I went for the i7 9700k and it is struggling right now. I wouldn't need an upgrade if I bought the i9 9900k.

 

That is very different. A 9700k was obviously not going to cut it and seen as a downgrade in the i7 category compared to the 8700k. The 9700k was a meant to be bad cpu by only having 8 threads which many saw as not a cpu that would last. Hence why slower cpu's from that time with more threads are doing a lot better nowadays.

 

The 13700k is quite a bit faster than the current consoles cpu's and is actually coolable. The 13900k is a stupid cpu that is extremely hard to run at stock without overheating.

 

Pcie 5.0 is something you don't need to even look at. By the time it becomes even remotely relevant you'll want a different computer. For some reason we are rushing super hard to the next pcie version with 6.0 being there next year most likely. For gamers 3.0 is still fine and the 4090 is the FIRST card to show a 5% performance difference.

 

Basically I'm saying a simple board is plenty good.

 

Ddr5 is only worth it if you get proper fast stuff otherwise cheap ddr4 is still equally good.

 

Btw for you a 7800x3d would actually be EPIC. It's THE top tier gaming cpu. For video editing it will be a bit slower than a 13700k but that is up to you. As per your request I will opt for a intel system.

 

One other note any reason for a 4090? Are you gaming at 4k 144hz? If not skip it and opt for a cheaper card then upgrade later. Will give you the better system for less money.

If you dont mind the teething issue on openCL with video editing, you can swap the 4080 for a 7900XTX for 100$ less that will give you MORE performance than nvidia in raw rasterization.

THIS!!!

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech. I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

 

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

I'm a PhD student working in the fields of reinforcement learning and traffic control. PCs are one of my hobbies and I've built many PCs and performed upgrades on a few laptops (for myself, friends and family). My personal computers include 3 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future). While I believe I have an decent amount of experience in spec’ing, building and troubleshooting computers, keep in mind I'm not an expert or a professional and I make mistakes.
