Hey everyone! I'm building a new PC primarily for 3D modeling with software like Fusion 360 and for gaming, particularly aiming for high FPS in CS2, but not necessarily at ultra settings.
Here are the specs I've chosen so far:
- Intel Core i7-14700KF
- be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 cooler
- Corsair Vengeance RGB 48GB (2x24) DDR5-6000 RAM
- WD Black SN850X 1TB SSD
- Gigabyte B760M DS3H WiFi6E motherboard
- MSI MAG A750GL PCIe5 750W Gold power supply
- Fractal Design North case
- XFX Speedster RX 6750 XT 12GB graphics card
The total cost for this build is around 1100€.
I'm hoping to get some thoughts on a few questions I have:
1. Is the RX 6750 XT adequate for both modeling and achieving high FPS in CS2?
2. Would it be worth it to spend approximately 100€ more to upgrade to an RX 6800?
3. Is the Dark Rock Pro 5 cooler appropriate for the 14700KF, or might it be overkill?
4. Are there any potential bottlenecks or weaknesses in this build?
5. What would you recommend changing to ensure better long-term reliability and stability?
I'm not looking for ultra settings, just a solid and reliable system that will last a few years. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Overall, you’ve got a strong foundation! Just keep an eye on compatibility and maybe check reviews on parts. If you want long-term reliability, consider going for parts with good warranties or customer support.
The Dark Rock Pro 5 is actually quite efficient with the i7-14700KF, but if you're not overclocking heavily, it may be more than you need. Just make sure your case has good airflow to keep everything cool!
The RX 6750 XT is a bit outdated for current standards. For a similar price, you might want to consider faster options like the RX 9060 XT or the RTX 5060 Ti. It could improve your performance for both 3D modeling and gaming.
Thanks for your input! That does make sense.
Got it, I’ll check airflow in my case!
