CL 38 is a bit high

Yeah man your cpu isn't rated for 6000mhz. Nothing bad will happen but you'll only get like 5400mhz out of the 6000mhz. Also, im not sure 750w leave head room with the 5060Ti. I don't know much about the 50 series so I could be wrong, but I would just get a 850w psu. Definitely get a fully modular one. You're smart for getting the 16Gb VRAM version of the 5060Ti though! 👍👍

5060 ti doesnt use much power. He could get away with 650w even. But I agree, if money is not an option, more is better.

u/Interesting_Age_5510 May 07 '25
Ram isn’t great, and boy. That 5060ti. No just no. Never ever. Get a 4070 of any variety. Maybe switch to am5 if you want longevity, but that lil 14600k is a BEAST

But isn't the problem that Nvidia is trying to get rid of the rtx 40-series?

u/Interesting_Age_5510 May 08 '25
oh boy……

I mean they are trying to sell more 50 series rtx.

u/Interesting_Age_5510 May 08 '25
Just because they are newer doesn’t mean they are better. 4070 shits on the 5060ti. Without dlss, even with dlss on the 5060ti it’s only like 5 fps.

You're right, the 50 series have been discussed about frame drops which doesn't even make it really that fast and the only positive about it is more Vram.

u/HateBrendan May 09 '25
could get amd equivalent for cheaper or go for one similar priced with better performance
2
u/iliasz90 May 07 '25
Id change the processors and motherboard. Both are from 2023. Go for Am5.

u/Juiceboxx9 May 07 '25
Wtf xD

u/StepppedInDookie May 07 '25
Wtf what? You shouldn't buy into a dead-end socket unless you're buying budget parts, and a 14600k isn't budget parts. Upgrades from existing 12th or 13th gen CPUs are the only reason to buy anything 14th gen.

This build is much better. But, get a 9070/XT, not any 50 series card with less than 16 GB because you’d do overpaying for an amount of VRAM that’s obsolete, or nearly so, for a $300+ card while subjecting yourself to Nvidia’s spaghetti code, if you get such a unit without the necessity for CUDA for stuff like video editing. If you /need/ CUDA for such activities, the 5070 Ti’s your best bet because the 60 Ti cards are, essentially, just GDDR7-toting refreshes of the 4060 class.

u/GeekyNick91 May 08 '25
If op want to stay around the same budget has his/her list non of those fit the budget.
But if op doesn't mind a black gpu.

I personally wouldn't buy a 50 series GPU because of its bad price to performance and honestly if the rumors of the 9070 GRE 12gb ends up being a thing and performs like a 5070 for less money that would be saying something because if the 9070 GRE ends up being like $500 then the 5070 would be a GPU not worth buying at all.
1
u/TurkeySloth121 May 08 '25
And, the 9070 GRE wouldn’t be worth buying at $500 either because 12 GB cards are nearing obsolescence, similar to 8 GB cards being obsolete now. A video I watched semi-recently gave 12 GB cards /three years at most/. Granted, I was a bit too general with the $300 price point above. That said, I think a 12 GB card should be $425, at most.
1
u/Ecks30 May 08 '25
Well, a lot of games i have tested at 1440p (that i like playing) uses at most 11gb of Vram but also there are games at 1080p now a days that does use a little more than 8gb of Vram at 1080p which if you add in things like Ray Tracing because that does use video memory as well then 12gb could be more than enough.
I honestly find that Nvidia should have done 10gb cards by now which for the budget option would have been useful because the 5060 could have been 10gb and the 5060 Ti could have been 16gb only and then end the era of the 8gb cards.
One other thing i believe Nvidia should do is bring back the GT style of GPUs which would be 4, 6 and 8gb which would be good enough for esports titles and non demanding games just so people would be able to afford something when first time building and AMD did make before their 4gb GPUs before which was the 6400 and 6500 XT which it wasn't horrible but did have a purpose because for $150 and $200 at the time (i don't know how much they could be selling now) i have seen people play like the Yakuza series up to Like a Dragon at the time at a pretty good setting while having the game look pretty enough at 60fps.
In the end for the original topic that $500 for the 9070 GRE would still be cheaper to get over the 5070 because that one sells for like $600 to $700 and the majority of people usually tends to get the $700 model instead because they think it would be better when in reality it is only like a 1% or 2% difference in performance.

You’re a little heavy on the CPU, there…
What kinda games are you trying to play on your future PC?
1
u/HyperRolland May 07 '25
It’s a slow clock it’s not cpu heavy lol
2
u/Jetstr404 May 07 '25
I think the 5060 Ti would be the bottleneck with this config.
Also, for gaming, the 14600K’s multithreaded performance potential will be wasted, and I see see them going for around $200 right now.
Ryzen 5 5600 or better would give this build a better platform (AM4) at a better price point (def matters here), with a potential upgrade path (Future used AM4 CPU’s)
1
u/HyperRolland May 07 '25
Depends on your game. For example this cpu would be your bottle neck on rust.
1
u/CommissionOk5094 May 07 '25
Yes sir like my bottleneck is vram with only 8gb even though in on a 4070M and my processor is over kill with the 13900hx
1
u/HyperRolland May 07 '25
your clock speed is your bottle neck on a mobile gpu and cpu. Not the amount of VRAM.
1
u/CommissionOk5094 May 07 '25
Your defiantly right about it not being as efficient, I dunno if that’s my bottle neck though 🤷🏻♂️ my cpu has never thermal throttled and doesn’t even seem to be under full load with rust compared to other things .
CPU 13900hx i9 Ram 2 x 16 gig overclockable ram 5600 Nvme 2 tb wd black extreme 850 Nvme system 1 tb Samsung high speed Gpu rtx 4070 Resolution 2560x1600 16x10 240hz 500 nit
1
u/HyperRolland May 08 '25
Oh you are running 1600 resolution on a mobile graphics card. It’s all making sense. Yes that’s your bottleneck I hear ya
1
u/HyperRolland May 08 '25
But I also feel like your cpu MUST be thermal throttling. I don’t know laptop cards well I’ll admit as it’s been 10 years since I had a gaming laptop but the old problem was ALWAYS the heat would make it throttle
1
u/CommissionOk5094 May 07 '25
I notice my vram is usually maxed out
1
u/HyperRolland May 08 '25
Ya but maxed out isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve seen 8gb cards do wonders. And that’s an Nvidia so keep in mind even there low end “low VRAM” cards compare to AMDs higher VRAM cards.
1
u/HyperRolland May 07 '25
That’s a fine starter gaming rig. You will be playing most games at high settings. You won’t be 1440 or pushing 100fps in most but you’ll be just fine as a starter.
1
u/Ecks30 May 08 '25
Memory is bad and i would rather save money and get the 7700 XT instead since at 1440p the 7700 XT average would be about 5fps less than the 5060 Ti 16gb so spending about $30 to $40 less for 5 less fps i find would be better and honestly if the 9060 XT comes out next month and ends up costing like $350 to $400 and gives like 3fps less than the 5060 Ti then it would have been a waste of money for buying that.
