Hey everyone! I'm super excited to finally be able to buy my own PC, but I'm a bit lost when it comes to knowing if my configuration is solid. I want to make sure it's good for a mix of 3D work, editing, and gaming. Here's what I've got so far:
- Graphic Card: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G GAMING TRIO OC WHITE
- Processor: Intel Core i9-14900KF (3.2 GHz / 5.8 GHz)
- CPU Cooler: MSI MAG CORELIQUID I360 - White
- Motherboard: MSI Z790 GAMING PLUS WIFI
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32 Go (2 x 16 Go) 6000 MHz CL36 1.4V - White
- SSD: Samsung SSD 990 EVO Plus M.2 PCIe NVMe 2 To
- Hard Disk: Toshiba P300 4 To (Bulk)
- Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO XL (White)
- Power Supply: Corsair RM1000e (2025)
- Monitor: iiyama 27" LED - G-MASTER G2766HSU-B1 Red Eagle
Any advice on whether this setup is good, or if I should switch anything out? Thanks! (P.S. Sorry if my English isn't perfect – it's not my first language!)

You should really evaluate your cooling options too. The i9 can run hot depending on your workload, so solid cooling is a must. Just make sure to check how long the i9 can maintain performance without overheating.
While your build looks pretty powerful, consider swapping out the Intel i9-14900KF for a Ryzen 9 7950X3D if gaming performance is your primary concern. It tends to outperform Intel in both gaming and heavy workloads. Just a thought!
That’s a solid suggestion! Plus, if you go with the Ryzen, you might want to look at getting an MSI PRO X670-P WiFi motherboard to get the most out of it.
Yep, definitely keep an eye on temps! I’ve heard good things about the Ryzen's cooling efficiency in comparison.
