There is no such concept as "bottlenecking"
If upgrading a cpu or graphics card somehow reduces your performance or FPS.
A more accurate term could be limiting factor.
This happens when adding more cpu or gpu becomes less effective.
Your components appear fairly balanced between cpu and gpu.
The i7-14700F comes with 65w power and includes a decent RM1 air cooler.
This is just my view, but you might want to spend about $25 extra for the non-F version of the processor.
Eventually you'll regret not having integrated graphics.
It's a good joke though. I searched for the "bottleneck calculator" and because the 9950X wasn't an option, I used the 7950X and 4090 and pressed "calculate." The site said the 4090 is limited by 21% CPU usage. What? How could anyone trust that information? It seems completely pointless.
It's surprising... even without knowing much about PCs, common sense tells us this information is useless.
The Intel Core 14900k isn't strong enough for an RTX 4090 when using a 3840 × 2160 resolution display for demanding tasks.
This setup has a 22.3% processor bottleneck.
Bottlenecking calculators often seem humorous since tasks vary widely. Some games demand more CPU power, others more GPU. Players adjust settings differently, which can lead to early memory issues. One game shows a 6% GPU bottleneck in my current configuration, yet another requires a CPU upgrade because it struggles with high frame rates, forcing my GPU to operate at just 30% usage. How can a GPU running only half its clock speed be the limiting factor when a CPU can handle much higher performance? In both scenarios, the GPU bottleneck doesn’t actually matter.
In my view, all the outputs from the bottleneck calculator are incorrect. If you adhere to their guidelines, you might also waste money without solving the issue and increase unnecessary stress. Just check your CPU and GPU bottlenecks using Formark when you run it—this helps determine if there’s a problem with the card or processor. If it stops, it suggests the GPU and CPU are the bottleneck. Send feedback
