Help me pick the right PC parts

[Thomaszz]

Budget (including currency): 2300 EUR

Country: The Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:

• GTA
• The Last of Us Part 1
• God of War
• Cyber Punk
• Upcoming BF and COD
• CSGO (main game)

Currently playing a lot of CSGO but with my new PC, which is obviously overkill for just CSGO, I hope to play new games that come out in the next 2-3 years. Most likely building a new PC in the next month or 2.

 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Specs of my current PC:

MOBO > MSI X470 GAMING PLUS
CPU  > AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU > NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080TI ASUS STRIX GAMING
HDD  > SEAGATE SATA 1TB
SSD  > Samsung 860 EVO 500GB
RAM  > HyperX Predator 16GB@DDR4-3200MHz
PSU  > Seasonic Focus Gold 650FX

 

Will be playing in 1080p and 1440p soon. This is the current build that I put together:

CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor  (€439.00 @ Amazon Netherlands)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler  (€114.00 @ Azerty)
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5 g Thermal Paste  (€9.98 @ Amazon Netherlands)
Motherboard: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard  (€259.00 @ Amazon Netherlands)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory  (€97.90 @ Amazon Netherlands)
Storage: Western Digital Black SN770 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive  (€114.90 @ Amazon Netherlands)
Video Card: Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12 GB Video Card  (€969.00 @ Amazon Netherlands)
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case  (€91.90 @ Amazon Netherlands)
Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS GX 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  (€148.85 @ Azerty)
Total: €2244.53

 

I am looking for any advice on replacing the current parts that I picked with better options for similair price. Any opinion on the build would be nice. Currently undecided about the following:

• whether I need a Z790 MOBO or if a B760 would be enough. I will not be overclocking my GPU or CPU, nor do I have any experience in that.
• If I should pick the MSI MPG A850G PSU intead for PCIE5.
• If I should switch the 4070i for a 4070 or go for an AMD option instead (more VRAM)
• I7-13700k or i7-13700?

 

Thanks in advance

If your just doing gaming I would go for a weaker cpu to pair with the 4070 ti (especially at 1440p soon)

I would get either the 5800X3D, 7600 non x or the 13500/12600k

if your not overclocking your cpu then a b760 will be fine just fine. Any b series mobo allows for gpu overclocking

It would be easier but you don't need to

I would go for the 7900 xt (especially if your not gonna do any ray tracing) since it performs better, has more vram and is sometimes/normally cheaper than the 4070 ti

 

I would go for this one: XFX Speedster MERC 310 Radeon RX 7900 XT 20 GB Video Card (RX-79TMERCU9) - PCPartPicker

i would swap out your case to either the h7 flow or the h5 flow (as it will allow for the 7900 xt I linked to fit)

I7-13700k or i7-13700?

If your only doing gaming neither

 

A 13500 or 13600k would do nicely

I would also consider AMDs 5800X3D or 7600 non x if your willing to go AMD

If you get the 5800X3D you can keep your mobo as its a pretty decent one and just do a bios update

• If you're not overclocking, then a B760 motherboard would be good enough. You can still get a 13700K for the higher base clock speed.
• Technically, Seasonic is a better PSU, although I would recommend Corsair 80+ Gold 850x PSU if you can get one.
• NVIDIA will have more stable drivers and performance, so I would recommend sticking with that. If you have the funds, definitely go for the 4070Ti.
• Nah. Leave it at the k.

AMD have gotten much better over the months and it's looking like the 7900 xt is better than the 4070 ti (since they're not gonna use ray tracing)

IMO the 7900 xt is better (as it can also be had for 100 euros less and performs better)

 

[Why_Me]

Here's a case with better airflow (2x140mm front intake fans + 1x120mm rear exhaust fan) and a psu with PCIe 5.0. You want a locked i7 if you go with a B760 board. btw almost all cpu coolers these days come with a small tube of decent thermal paste.

Isn't DDR4 better than DDR5 right now? Only like 200-300 DDR5 kits are better right? I am pretty bad informed about this tho, so any explanation about timings or whatever is welcome.

 

I mean I don't really mind the 60 euros difference on a GPU. Most benchmarks tend to favor AMD GPU's but I am not familiair with the AMD software or the support on games.

DDR4 3600 has a slight edge in gaming unless you go with DDR5 7200 ... which is expensive atm.

They've got experience in the gpu game and their performance is normally better for cheaper (for the 7900 xt vs 4070 ti)

No it doesn't make too much of a difference but it can be noticeable in productivity and gaming too. But for its high price it might not be worth it. G skills flare series is well priced tho (DDR5 ram)

The AMD GPU would be more "futureproof" right? Like most AAA games will use a lot of it with unreal engine 5

 

Will most likely still go with the 13700k because I can spend the extra money and it should last me longer

That’s not the reason why. It’s just better.
 

Also there’s no such thing as ‘future proofing’ unless you’re talking psu, ssd, fans, or maybe ram. The gpu market is evolving quickly and even a 3090 can’t beat a 7900 xt

Hi again

 

How much of a difference is the airflow of the Fractal vs Corsair 4000D. Because the corsair case looks better imo. Can I add fans into the Corsair case, if so which ones (no rgb please).

Yeah, take the future proofing quote with a pinch of salt haha. Just meant that It will most likely outperform the 4070ti even more. Might just have to make the switch to AMD. I was waiting for the 4070 or 4070ti to drop in price, the price to performance is so bad right now with NVIDIA GPU's

You can add fans to that case. The 4000D is a really good case with a couple added fans. Arctic P12s are also really good fans, especially for the price and tend to be close to Noctua's in performance. You can get them in a 5 pack.

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/LmCFf7/arctic-p12-pst-563-cfm-120-mm-fans-5-pack-acfan00137a

Did this for a friend's build. Took one of the stock Corsair fans and just put it in the front bottom slot where it wasn't very noticeable that it was a different fan.

You can add either one or two of those fans to the front of the case.  2x120mm should be fine.  If you want high airflow the add two of those fans giving you 3x120 front intake fans.

Yeah if two is enough, Id rather buy 2 seperate ones than the 5pack @IkeaGnome mentioned to save  some cash

Thanks all for the help, still unsure about some parts:

• PSU: the Corsair 80+ Gold 850X PSU and the SeaSonic FOCUS GX 850 80+ Gold are the same price, MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 is about 20 euros cheaper and supports PCIE5.
• GPU: honestly up to my decision now, AMD seems better price/performance but NVIDIA is the comfort choice so to say
• Noctua NH-D15 or Noctua NH-D15S, The G.skill ripjaws are quite "tall" so I would have to adjust the 2nd fan of the normal Noctua NH-D15. Small version about 15-20 euros cheaper.
• 13700k or 13700 (no OC). I think up to me as well. Only reason I am hesitant about the 13700k is having to adjust voltage.
• B760 probs best choice for either CPU because I am not overclocking?

The difference between the locked 12 gen i7 and the unlocked 12 gen i7 is one frame per average. I doubt it's any different with the 13 gen i7's.

I just realized that the case isnt listed here, but i would definitely still vouch for Pop on this build if your case isnt going to fit the 7900XTX. If you can, then we can lob off 87 euro off this build.

[Thomaszz]

So if I am not mistaken the normal Noctua NH D-15 won't fit with my Corsair 4000D Airflow case and G.Skill Ripjaws V RAM.  Maximum CPU cooler height according to corsair website  https://www.corsair.com/corsairmedia/sys_master/productcontent/WW_4000D_4000D_Airflow_QSG_WEB_AA.pdf is 170mm while the Noctua NH D-15 is 168mm. Ram clearance of the Noctua is 32mm while my RAM kit is 42mm so I would have to adjust the right fan of the Noctua more upwards but that won't fit because of my case. So for the CPU cooler I am going with the Noctua NH D-15s.

 

Also would still value opinion about the following:

PSU: the Corsair 80+ Gold 850X PSU and the SeaSonic FOCUS GX 850 80+ Gold are the same price, MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 is about 20 euros cheaper and supports PCIE5.

MOBO: B760 or Z790 for i7-13700k

GPU: 4070ti vs 7900xt pros and cons

You want a locked i7 for a B760 board so you don't experience thermal throttling although as I pointed out earlier in this thread the only advantage an unlocked cpu + Z790 board gives you is the ability to overclock which isn't going to happen with an  air cooler.   

 

This air cooler will fit that case and it runs quiet.  Google the reviews.
