New build

[Pally]

Budget (including currency): no more than $4.000 if possible.

Country: USA, 30 minutes from Micro Center, build my old pc there with your help before. Have to build new my old pc can not be upgraded to widows 11 also its over6 years old.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mostly for gaming (KCD2, War Thunder, Dune Awaking, Dragon Dogma2, Skull and Bones) and watching shows. PC is my main source of entertoyment.

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):  I will start fresh. I may be use one of the SSD 500gb Storage Drive as secondary. This is what I was thinking: Processor: Intel Core i7-14700KF (5.6 GHz Turbo) (28-Thread) (20-Core) 3.4 GHz (14th Gen), Video card : MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB ( has to be NVidia just got new monitor G-Sync Monitor LG UltarGear QHD 34inch 144 HZ), System memory: 64GB DDR5 6000MT/s or 6600 MT/s (Kingston or some good company), Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-P (Wi-Fi) (Intel Z790 Chipset) (Up to 3x PCI-E Devices) (No SLI) (DDR5),

Power Supply: 1000W Digital Storm Performance Series (Semi-Modular) (80 Plus Gold), Storage Drive: SSD M.2 (4TB Samsung 990 PRO) (NVM Express), Cooling: AIR: Stage 2: Noctua NH-D15 chromax. black (I don't want liquid cooling), Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home (64-Bit), Tower : mid size case Fractal 3 black, really like the one I have now. I want power and performance. I don't need any accessories and I am really not that big on RB.

I am open for suggestions and greatly appreciate the help, this will be my second time building pc under your guidance, want to last me for a while. (they are getting to expensive lol). I am sure I am forgetting something. Thank you very much.

There is absolutely no reason to go Intel at this point for gaming on any machine.  AMD is superior.

I would highly recommend getting a Ryzen 9800X3D over a 14700k.  

Sweetspot RAM for 9800X3D is 6000Mhz CL30.

The Noctua NH-D15 chromax is a pretty cooler but incredibly expensive compared to a Peerless Assassin SE120 / Phantom Spirit that will do the job just as well.  A 9800X3D sits at 70-105w during heavy gaming.

 

1000w PSU is rather overkill for a 9800X3D/14700k and a 5070 Ti, a decent 750w will actually be plenty.

I dont know what a '''1000W Digital Storm Performance'' is, as I can't find anything on it.  Just get a reputable RM850x or RM1000x if you really want 1000w.

How much did you pay for your previous machine that you think $4000 is a reasonable budget?  I ask because what you list is $2500 max.

 

A high-ish end machine is $2000 roughly.

He's listing a prebuilt I think, from Digital Storm.  hence the PSU and the way he describes each part.

Order the components and afterwards call around to local PC / laptop repair shops and have them build it for you if you aren't comfortable building it yourself.

I'd say look into used 4090's, or open box deals.

Personally, I would go with an AIO cooler for a 9800X3D, even though they don't run incredibly hot, it may be nice to have if you are considering overclocking at some point in the future. A high end air cooler would do fine though if you really want.

Thank you all for such timely response and suggestions. Yes the previous pc was in $2,500 build in 2019, the only reason I put $4k, because it was mot prices for reasonable pc on the build websites.  Also I did listed the components from the build pc website  but it was a combination of different sites. I never looked in to Ryzen because all my pc were intel including I build with your assistance last time. And yes I am not comfortable to do it myself. I will defiantly look in all the suggestions and see what can be arrange in the better budget the better. I am sure I will have more questions later. Again thank you all.

Thank you again.

Use the SN850X as your primary drive: Windows 11, browser(s), programs, game(s) that you play most frequently seeing how that SSD has DRAM cache. The SN7100 for your secondary storage drive.
