Help with gaming PC
Here’s a rewritten version of your text, aiming for clarity and flow:
“I'm building a high-performance PC with a budget of €4,000 to handle demanding tasks like gaming (including 4K resolution), graphic design in Affinity Photo, and video editing. I need a system that can consistently deliver high frame rates without lag – ideally targeting high FPS for next-generation games.
Here’s the component list I'm considering:
* **Processor:** Intel Core i7-9700K (3.6 GHz, 8-core)
* **Cooler:** Corsair H100i v2 Liquid CPU Cooler
* **Motherboard:** Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING (ATX LGA1151)
* **Memory:** Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB DDR4-3600)
* **Storage:** Samsung 860 Evo 2TB SSD (2.5”), Samsung 970 Evo 1TB M.2-2280 NVMe SSD, Western Digital Black 4TB 3.5" HDD
* **Graphics Card:** Asus GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB ROG Strix Gaming OC
* **Case:** NZXT H510 Elite (ATX Mid Tower)
* **Power Supply:** Corsair HX Platinum 850W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular
* **Operating System:** Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit
I'm particularly interested in recommendations for additional components, as I’m relatively new to PC building. Ideally, I want a system that can seamlessly handle these workloads – graphics design and video editing alongside high-end gaming – without any performance bottlenecks. Could you advise on potential upgrades or adjustments to this setup?”

The 2TB SSD has higher endurance and speed which will aid in video editing. The 1TB SSD is near equal to the 970 EVO in terms of performance and will make a very good OS/Application drive. The Arctic II is a very good AIO and is quieter and better performant than the Corsair H100i. The WD Gold will have basically the same performance as the WD Black, it is just the Data Center drive with higher endurance and MTBF. Using Ryzen instead of Intel means that you can use a smaller PSU, but the quality and efficiency are equal. The case is a very good case and has sound dampening material to make the whole system quieter. Going 2x16GB ends up being cheaper and keeps more RAM slots open and it has better RAM timings than the 4x8GB
The performance difference between high-end AMD Ryzen processors (3700X, 3800X, and 3900X) and Intel Core processors (9700K and 9900K) is minimal unless the Intel CPUs are overclocked to 5GHz. However, at 5GHz, Intels can achieve approximately 250 frames per second (FPS) at 1080p resolution, while the Ryzens typically reach around 230 FPS. When scaling up to 1440p or 4K resolutions, there’s virtually no performance distinction in gaming. However, Ryzen processors offer superior performance in productivity tasks. Furthermore, Ryzen processors feature a "Precision Boost Overdrive" function – essentially automatic overclocking – simplifying the process and boosting performance without manual adjustments.
Well still if it goes over 200 fps in games at maxed out graphics that's just amazing. I guess I will go with the R9 3950x then. Thank you.
