Hello, I would like to update my post.
Asus Tuf 144hz monitor
Max budget £2,860
Computer only for gaming
In general, my room is very warm. My question is whether the cooling will be suitable for this processor.
Thank you for any help

TonyCarter · Thursday at 3:36 PM

I think most people on here would recommend staying away from Intel for gaming (or for anything but very niche usages in fact), due to their dodgy power claims and the CPUs degrading over time.

Is that a 1440p monitor? Do you have a known need for 64GB RAM, if not, then it's pointless.

Whilst I wait for that answer, I'll build an 'equivalent' spec AMD build, which will be cooler, quieter, and more performant, for probably less.

TonyCarter · Thursday at 3:41 PM

Well, here's the equivalent using the best gaming CPU around at the moment, and the same RAM/SSD sizes you chose (with nothing else optimised).

The only thing I'd personally change on this, and only if the glass-fronted 5000X is not a deal-breaker...would be to get the 5000D and add 4x QX120 iCUE LINK fan kit to keep all the fans/AIO running off the same controller and running the same type fans/LEDs schema.

Alternatively, if you want glass and lots of RGB, then the Corsair 6500X is a big glass aquarium case than can have fans on the bottom and side, so they don't get in the way of the view inside...like this...

I always thought Intel was better than AMD processors. That's why I always chose an Intel processor. Yes, the monitor is 1440p. As for memory, I have no idea.

Sawasz · Thursday at 3:58 PM

I wanted a 16GB ASUS PROART GEFORCE RTX 4080 SUPER graphics card - HDMI, DP, LHR, is this card also included in this set?

Not for about 5 years now, Intel are the poor processors like AMD used to be in the old days.

Yes Intel used to be, but now they have been surpassed by AMD, check out YouTube for videos on the 14 series of Intel chips

Sawasz · Thursday at 3:59 PM

sorry, I see it's in the first set

Sawasz · Thursday at 4:01 PM

ok, then I will have to think about changing the processor. I like this first set given

If you answer the questions @TonyCarter has asked then we can likely optimise it better for the budget.

Over the years the pendulum swings back and forth. AMD is where it's at right now for desktop CPUs as the 14700 and 14900 CPUs are having serious issues right now as already mentioned. Here's a video from Hardware Unboxed:

Intel tried blaming the motherboard manufacturers but the problem is an Intel problem.

It can be, it's only another £50-60 IIRC, but just swapped it out to ensure I could fit all the other bits in budget first...and until I knew whether we'd agreed we needed a 4K GPU (4080 Super) or 1440p/ultrawide 1440p GPU (4070Ti Super).

ASUS® ROG STRIX Z790-F GAMING WIFI II (LGA1700, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7)
GIGABYTE X670 AORUS ELITE AX (AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 6E)
comparing these two motherboards, which one would be better in the first set you mentioned?

Sawasz · Thursday at 4:11 PM

of course, when it comes to the graphics card, I think that in the near future I will change the monitor to 4k
that's why I chose the 4080 graphics card
my budget for this computer is 2860 max

You can't compare them, as they're different chipsets. One is for Intel (Z790), the other is for AMD (X670).

But the Strix 670E is probably the equivalent to the Strix Z790-F...but the X670E (the E is important) will not work with the LCD AIO coolers...that's why I had to go for the Gigabyte.

can you please rate this build, it is still within my budget
