New build

[Maievh]

Budget (including currency): 36000 NOK(3400USD)

Country: Norway

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1440p gaming. Mostly multiplayer games like Apex, Overwatch 2, Hunt, Dayz, Diablo 4

Other details:  Want a Intel/Nvidia build. Aiming to have it done before D4 release(6/6).

Monitors: 2 monitors, will be gaming on a ROG XG27AQ(27"/1440p/170hrz) with a generic 27" 1440p monitor on the side.

Why are you upgrading? Its time for an upgrade (i5-6600k, gtx980)

 

Build: https://buildapc.gg/no/build/jPOJd

 

Looking to build a 'as silent as possible' gaming rig without hurting performance/temps that will last 4-5+ years.

Is the 4080 overkill for 1440p gaming? was eyeing the 4070ti but all the discussions about the importance of vram pulled me towards the 4080.

But if I can do fine with 4070ti @ 1440p in 4-5 years with most things on high I wouldn't mind saving the 6000 difference.

 

Thanks for any advice in advance.

It all works ^^  I would look at a set of RAM with low profile heatsinks so it doesn't impede the cpu cooler.

 

Something like this.

I agree but surely for their budget a 4070 ti could be sufficient? Or even a 7900 xt

if yout worried about vram (which u probbably should be with the amount of unoptimised shit that is coming out) then i would go amd. for better than 4070 perfomance get the 6800xt or for significanty better than 4070ti fps get the 7900xt

I think you're spending way too much on needless things, way past a good returns in value for money. That's not a $3k PC...

 

I'd go with a system like this: CPU plenty fast as well as GPU with loads of headroom. Since you're going down the route of a lot of esports games, outright performance will be important to you where AMD trades blows, because NVIDA features that of DLSS3 like upscaling and frame generation add a ton of latency.

As you wanted a more silent build, with the money saved you could spend more on a quiet case and fans. 5 Silent wings 4's or a 3 T30 pack...

A more quiet configuration?

if you are going to do gaming only, why bother going nvidia? while yes they are good for gaming, Amd beats them in that aspect, nvidia is good for production purposes and video editing, AMD is not as good, but its better in the gaming aspect

The OP has a $3400 budget and prefers Nvidia so the 4080 16GB would be the logical choice imo.

Where do you see OP saying they prefer NVIDIA?

I swear a second ago it said AMD/Nvidia. I must be trippin.

 

He can have his preferences but Nvidia right now is not great value compared to AMD discounts right now, especially can't recommend if OP won't be using Nvidia software features and is purely gonna have to rely on native rendering resolutions.

Good call, changed to the suggested ripjaws!

Its as Why_Me says, I guess I've developed a bias for nvidia after having very good experience overall with them on earlier purchases. Probably the same for some of my other picks.

fair enough

the nvidia brainrot strikes again

 

ulimatly in the end, its your choice

I'll give it some more thought before ordering, hard to say no to the 20GB vram.

If I were to go with the 7900XT, Sapphire's VAPOR-X NITRO+ seems to be the best "silent" cooler?

well it won't be 'silent' but it'll be pretty quiet
