My First Build. Help!

[Rohit85]

Hi Folks

Looking into getting into PC gaming. I was gifted an RTX 4070 Ti, so looking to make a build around that.

This is what I have so far. Please let me know how I can improve and at the same time reduce costs. First time posting here so not sure how to add baskets etc. But this is the list of what I'm thinking.

CPU	i7-13700K
GPU	RTX 4070 Ti 12GB
RAM	Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB 5600 MHz
Power Supply	Corsair RM850x
Motherboard	Asus Rog Strix Z790-F
SSD	Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB
CPU Cooler	CORSAIR H100X RGB ELITE 240MM AIO LIQUID CPU COOLER
Case	Corsair iCUE 4000D RGB Airflow

How much is your build costing you?

This is how I'd do it:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Intel Core i7-13700F (Raptor Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-6BD-IN) = £359.98
• 1 x MSI B760 Gaming Plus WIFI (LGA 1700) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-37M-MS) = £149.99
• 1 x TeamGroup Vulcan 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C36 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (FLBD532G5600HC36BDC01) (SKU: MY-0BB-TG) = £99.95
• 1 x WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS200T2X0E) (SKU: HD-591-WD) = £129.95
• 1 x Phanteks Eclipse G300A Mid-Tower High Airflow PC Case - Black (SKU: CA-0C0-PT) = £64.99
• 1 x Corsair RMe Series RM750e Fully Modular Low-Noise ATX Power Supply v2 (CP-9020262-UK) (SKU: CA-27S-CS) = £115.00

Total: £931.85 (includes delivery: £11.98)​

Cooler, this.

Thanks for the reply. I had couple of questions.

What's the difference between i7-13700F and K? The F seems to be cheaper but am I losing out on anything?
I was told I needed 850w power. You've listed a 750w power supply, will this be enough?
Also what about cooling?

Ok how about this. My friend convinced me to return the 4070 ti and pay a little extra for the 7900 xtx. Does this build work for that?

Thank you

The memory is an expo kit, I'd buy XMP for Intel and EXPO for AMD.

If you're getting a 7900 XTX, a 750 PSU is lighter than I'd like.

Hi Tetras. Thanks for your reply. I can’t find any memory that says xmp. Can you please recommend an rgb 32gb memory solution pls.

Thanks

OK let's do this. You guys come up with some suggestions for me. So far, from my research, these are my requirements:
- I want the AMD 7900 xtx
- I want the intel 13700 or the amd ryzen 9 7900x3d. Which ever is better for the GPU
- I play a mix of games. Main game is online COD. On other days it will be others like Last of Us, GTA, Far Cry, God Of War, Star Wars Jedi Survivor. I would like to play COD on highest fps possible (guessing this will have to be on 1440p) and all the other single player type games at high fps above 120 on the highest resolution (preferably 4k)
- I like the look of corsair icue rgb. the ability to link all items to one hub and control like this.
- I want 2tb storage
- RAM and PSU I have no preference. RGB RAM would be nice actually.
- Motherboard I guess you would select based on compatibility of other components you select.

My budget is around £2k - £2.4k

Thanks for helping out btw folks. Glad I came to this forum.
