How's your setup looking for smooth 1440p gaming?
Budget was 2k before tax and this is what i have
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qrhkrv
I kept the cooler off because I have a Frost Commander 140 already. I was told I could go with the 13700k for tiny bit higher boost clock and the extra 2 p cores but idk. Any reason to stay with 14600k over 13700k? Also i have 2 240hz 1440p monitors already so wanted a gpu that can handle those and 1440p gaming. I would like to edit and render videos using premier pro and after effects eventually as well. Also maybe get into animation on the side very little tho. Also the ram, i was told i wont get xmp to run but i was also told i should stick with the teamgroup kit (i had same speed/cas but G.Skill rgb kit before). Id about that tho i would like fast ram tbh
Please let me know your thoughts.
If you mention the price, you'll face criticism. That said; your RAM isn't included in the MoBo memory QVL at all. Therefore, a 7200 MT/s chance is equally likely—50/50. No certainty involved.
However, it actually operates at 4800 MT/s (JEDEC standard).
The RTX 4070 Ti Super won't achieve 240 FPS on 1440p. It's more around 120 FPS without ray tracing and about 70 FPS with it. That's even lower when using just one monitor. With two monitors, if you play on both simultaneously, the frame rate will drop further.
Without ray tracing:
With ray tracing:
If I were building a 1440p gaming system that's along the lines of what I would want it to be. There is very little difference in 13th and 14th-gen Intel CPUs.
I know back in DDR4 days the highest clocked memory would not always work with a given CPU/Mobo combo. I'm not sure what the sweet spot is for DDR5. I would say you should at least be willing to consider the possibility of the faster RAM not working in XMP and you having to swap it out or dial in your own timings.
You are missing a CPU cooler.
I made some adjustments to the build to better suit your needs. I never imagined it would be feasible to play on two monitors simultaneously with multiple games running at once, especially considering the FPS expectations in esports titles like CS:GO, CS:GO, RTS, and Rocket League.

Modified items: GPU version without Asus OC profile (optional customization saves $120), PSU upgraded to a reliable Seasonic unit in the correct wattage range, and the power supply offers better value than the Be Quiet! model.
Also some of the other people might have more knowledge because before this model I mainly worked with amd systems. However, you could also consider z690 boards since their prices have dropped significantly. If your board includes a bios flashback feature, it might help save a bit for a cpu or gpu.
Your build is fine as it stands.
The changes between 14700K and 13900K won't be apparent.
I could install a 990 pro on a 2tb drive and postpone the second one.
Once it's full, add more storage.
The RAM is acceptable. Intel doesn't gain much from fast RAM, so you might choose to run slower.
