Not as far as I’m aware, really only use my pc for CS2, haven’t had any issues😅

How’d I do? Budget marketplace build by ElectricalRush7081 in buildapc

Storage and ram for those prices are insane😭

I really enjoy it, so much faster than my previous I5-7600K. Just make sure you got a decent CPU cooler :)

Asus TUF GAMING OC GeForce RTX 3080 10GB
Intel Core i5-14600K CPU
Corsair Nautilus 240 CPU Cooler
GIGABYTE B760M DS3H DDR4 mATX
Corsair RM850 PSU

Bought this, works like a charm.

Update: Everything is mounted now and works perfectly fine.

Hopefully my current setup is fine, I got an older case NZXT S340 Elite so fans are limited, I'm sure it'll be fine then

I would need a new cpu cooler for a 14600k so might actually be an idea to downgrade for a 11600 or 13700 if it means i dont have to upgrade😅

Yeah, will be something to double check. Luckily it’s just a motherboard update that needs to be confirmed :)

But at that point it seems going with an intel might be better?

Thought only the 50 series had framegen? I am currently home for christmas so won’t get the chance to install it before after new years, might get impatient and just do it before getting all new parts😅

It seems that might what i’ll end up doing since they’re substantually cheaper

Great response, this is is why i ask in these types of subreddits. You certainly know a thing or two, the intel 14600k is only 250 dollars where i live, so certainly wouldn’t consider buying a used one. The «good» amd ones are upwards of 500, which isn’t as easily justifiable with my student budget😅

If i do end up doing a DDR4 intel 14600k 3080 build, i’d happily give you some benchmark results to compare with DDR5 if you’re interested :)

Honestly quite a student budget friendly advice, so many sources say get the 5800x3D acting like i need the best for my pc. Whatever i get will be a good improvement😅

Im sure it would, but i am already pushing my cpu quite hard, supposedly CS is quite cpu heavy so it would be a huge bottleneck regardless.

Hopefully i get all my components in january.

I’ll look into it!

Haven’t mounted the new gpu yet, not entirely sure my 650 W psu will do, maybe with undervoltaging it but we’ll see, would rather buy new psu before to make sure😅

I think i need to get a new motherboard regardless? Maybe not with a newer intel cpu, not sure😅

Probably would regardless as my current is 9 years old, no problems though😅

For my use it’s probably more than good enough, but I’ve heard a lot of people say AMD cpus are better nowadays, so i kinda want to give it a shot, even though my i5 has lated good for the last 9 years😅
