What are the essential requirements for an i9-14900 K?
I found most of the parts on amazon.de, but the location is actually Sweden.
Both Premier Pro and DaVinci Resolve benefit from GPU-based hardware acceleration. In most scenarios, the upgrade from the 13700k to the 14900k offers minimal improvement over the 14900k compared to the 13700k. To achieve the 14900k, merely change the CPU in the component list.

That, plus the iGPU options, is also worth mentioning.
D12L isn't suitable for overclocking or 100% load, but it's sufficient for everyday use.
In the TechPowerUP review you referenced (page 24), temperatures for the i9-14900KF are observed; you can check it here:
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel...0k/24.html
The NH-U14S maintains the CPU at stock speeds of 81.3°C during gaming and 93.8°C under full load—well below the 100°C threshold for such performance. The NH-D15 reduces these temperatures by about 5°C, making air cooling sufficient.
That's a significant improvement compared to previous models.
The same applies to CPU coolers; they are among the top air-cooling solutions.
As for the power supply, it’s worth noting:
🤔
Corsair CX is mainly suited for office setups without a dedicated GPU.
Corsair RMe offers better performance than CX but falls short of Seasonic Focus.
My opinion is clear: if you can afford the Core i9 and RTX 4070, you’ll also be able to invest in a quality PSU. While I previously recommended the Seasonic Focus, now I’d prefer the Seasonic PRIME, preferably an 80+ Titanium model. This unit stands out as one of the best PSUs available, if not the absolute best. I’ve personally used two Seasonic PRIME TX-650 units (one in Skylake, another in Haswell builds) with full specifications and photos attached.
Take your choice,

If you can’t afford a proper PSU, avoid the Core i9. Instead opt for a more affordable Core i7 so you can allocate funds to a suitable PSU. Or consider swapping the RTX 4070 for the RTX 4060. There are many ways to save money on a good PSU.
Remember: Since the PSU powers the entire system, it’s the most critical component inside the PC.
Additionally, with such high-end hardware, I’d also recommend considering an UPS. It should provide clean sine wave output, line-interactive design, and around 700W/1200VA capacity.
For example, the CyberPower PFC Sinewave CP1300EPFCLCD (1300VA/780W) can be found here:

I currently use the same UPS twice—one for Skylake builds and another for Haswell builds.
In my opinion, every PC should have a backup UPS.
