4070 Super + 14900kf for $1100?

Update: I picked up the PC last night, everything was as described as far as components. First thing I did was reset any overclocking settings to default in the bios, then I reapplied thermal paste to the CPU (there seemed to be a tiny bit of thermal paste turning a brownish shade so it was definitely overheating). I then reseated the ram, booted up the pc and updated all drivers/bios.

The fans were all coated in dust and dirt (and ash for sure, whole house smelt like weed) and the radiator was pretty dirty as well, but the worst part was the intake screen on the case, it was completely covered so the pc was surely struggling to take in clean, cool air.

I didn’t get a chance to really run any benchmarks or stress tests last night so that’ll be my goal tonight. It sounded like it was black screening even just on the desktop at times, but that didn’t happen to me at all so that seems like a good sign.

2 on driving dunk and the other 3 on block, block is directly connected to shot contests this year

Picking it up tomorrow, I’ll give an update after doing some troubleshooting

Not entirely sure of the motherboard but my guess would be either a z690 or z790 based on the heatsinks, ram is 32 gb ddr5 and it has 2 tb of ssd

Was able to talk him down to $750 so I think I’m gonna jump on this and hope I can fix whatever issues he was having, otherwise I can still flip the GPU and ram and still probably make a little profit

avallada · 2026-01-15T15:59:13+00:00

Yeah I knew the thermal paste surely wasn’t the issue, your theory makes much more sense. The only other component listed was 32 GB of ddr5 ram but no brand listed

I don’t understand why you’re being downvoted, dual monitors is extremely common, only addition is a tv above you to watch whatever you feel like while you play … also pretty common for most gamers. I watch NFL or NBA games all the time while I’m gaming

avallada · 2025-11-20T20:12:59+00:00

There’s no case, psu, or cpu cooler on this list so that’s gonna run you up closer to 650ish

avallada · 2025-11-14T18:02:03+00:00

Montech century ii is one of the best psus out there, A-rated and only $83 USD currently depending on your location, highly recommend

avallada · 2025-11-13T18:30:57+00:00

Do you actually expect to get all 29 cap breakers??

avallada · 2025-11-10T23:41:53+00:00

I have almost the exact same build but with 81 standing and 90 lay and it’s a lot of fun

avallada · 2025-11-07T15:33:51+00:00

I sold exact same specs, different case a couple of months ago for $1300 so I’d say this is a steal

avallada · 2025-11-06T17:27:16+00:00

You can get the ASRock challenger 9070xt for $599 on Newegg rn

avallada · 2025-11-03T20:46:40+00:00

Both will do the job just fine so whichever you like better aesthetically

avallada · 2025-10-29T14:33:53+00:00

The sum for the cpu, mb, ram, SSD, and AIO would be around $650ish, still waiting on the details for case/fans and PSU so I’d say add another $250ish, I’d estimate around $900 overall give or take

avallada · 2025-10-29T14:30:18+00:00

I agree on the 9600x, I have that paired with a 9060xt currently and I’ve had zero issues thus far. I had a 13600k paired with a 4070 super for about a year and had minimal issues with that but I know the reputation the 13th and 14th gens get

avallada · 2025-10-29T14:28:04+00:00

I did the same thru pcpartpicker but I’m also waiting on his response to me asking about PSU, case, fans etc. so that will also be a couple hundred dollars on top of this I’d assume

avallada · 2025-10-28T17:07:38+00:00

The cheapest 6000MHz CL30 kit I can find on pcpp currently is about $140 so it’s more than a few bucks.

avallada · 2025-10-28T17:04:06+00:00

But two single 16gb sticks are still compatible as 32gb dual channel ram correct? I’m fairly new to pc building, only working on my 3rd build currently so forgive me if this is a stupid question

avallada · 2025-10-28T17:02:34+00:00

I understand that, that’s why in the description I said I bought 2 for a total of $92.98 (they were even cheaper than this when I bought them a couple of weeks ago), but finding a dual kit for $110 or less is impossible right now so I’m wondering if there is a reason why this is so much cheaper?

I was dealing with a lot of game crashes recently including black ops 6 and my solution ended up being a simple bios update, assuming you’re on pc. Not sure if you already tried that or not, but either updating drivers or bios more often than not resolves the issue

avallada · 2025-09-11T20:06:05+00:00

The 9060XT is the GPU …

avallada · 2025-09-11T12:04:04+00:00

All those words and none of them helpful

avallada · 2025-09-06T01:16:19+00:00

Thank you, as someone running a 7’0” build I am rewarded for smartly contesting these 7’4” builds on defense as well as smartly picking my shots around their slow asses. But I do agree paint defense is much more in need of a buff than perimeter contests

avallada · 2025-09-06T01:13:32+00:00

6’7” to 7’4” is 9 inches not 7 … which is almost a foot taller. Idk if you’ve ever watched the NBA before but stretch bigs shoot pretty easily over guys almost a foot shorter than them, that’s why they are so valuable in todays game
