Create PC Build Recommendation for Evaluation
I’m putting together this build primarily for
gaming
, specifically
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
and
Black Ops 6
, aiming for
140–160 FPS at 1440p (2K) on high settings
. The build has a
white aesthetic
, which is a key priority for me alongside high performance. I plan to use this setup for at least
4 years
before upgrading. I’m debating whether to stick with the
Intel Core i7-14700K
or switch to the
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
, as I’ve heard AMD performs well in gaming scenarios. Additionally, I’m wondering if the
RTX 4070 Ti Super
is future-proof enough for my gaming needs or if I should hold out for the NVIDIA 5000 series.
Specs
Monitor:
MSI MAG 271 QPX E2
Processor (CPU):

Prices for the
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
in my country are very high, making it a tough decision whether it’s worth the extra cost compared to the Intel i7-14700K. GPUs are also hard to find locally, and I was lucky to find this
MSI RTX 4070 Ti Super in white
, which fits perfectly with the aesthetic I want for my build.
Let me know if the
Intel i7-14700K
or
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
is the better choice for gaming, especially with longevity in mind, and whether the
RTX 4070 Ti Super
is sufficient or if waiting for the NVIDIA 5000 series would be smarter for future-proofing. Appreciate your feedback!
Just reiterating the conversation here; I'm preparing to review my build aesthetics. I'm planning a high-end PC and want someone to check it (if I missed anything). I intend to run 2k@144+fps on it. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BjKtfy. Also adding a Strimer Plus v2 24pin and an 8x2 pin to the motherboard and GPU. I need to add any...
Hi there! From Dubai, I noticed the Ryzen 7 9800X3D prices are quite steep, which has complicated my choice. Concerning the "7 months" remark, yes, I had been planning this project some time ago but opted to wait until the end of the year to assess any changes in cost and stock. For the NZXT, I completely understand your perspective, but I’m going with the Kraken model mainly because of the display—it’s a feature I’ve always wanted to incorporate for a standout look. Thanks for your thoughts! Feel free to share any more suggestions.
I was born and grew up in Dubai, U.A.E. As @Why_Me mentioned, it's a global issue. NZXT's AIOs are outdated since the Z series was introduced. There are other ways to get an LCD in your build—JayzTwoCents has videos on adding panels. In fact, if you're considering AIOs, you shouldn't look further than the Arctic Liquid Freezer III models.
If you're seeking our thoughts, I'd recommend thinking about how long you want to keep the build and how much you're spending for it. We’re based in the USA, so parts availability and prices can differ by region.
