I'm about to build my first PC and would appreciate your thoughts before I make my purchase! Here's what I'm planning to do with it:
- Video editing using After Effects
- Working with Unreal Engine 5
- Gaming at 1440p with a refresh rate of 165Hz (games like GTA, Star Citizen, Fortnite)
- Running some local AI applications
My budget is around €2150, and here are the specs I've settled on:
- CPU: Intel i7-14700F
- GPU: Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Eagle OC Ice 16GB
- Motherboard: MSI PRO B760-P WiFi DDR4
- RAM: ADATA XPG 32GB DDR4-3200 CL16
- SSD: Crucial P510 2TB PCIe 5.0
- Cooling: Deepcool LS720 SE 360mm
- PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W Gold
- Case: Deepcool CG530 White
Are there any issues you see or suggestions for improvements? Thanks a lot!

You might want to reconsider using Intel. If you're set on Intel, going with a newer generation could be beneficial. AMD could be a good route too; maybe consider the 9900X and invest in DDR5. Also, the 5070 Ti might be overkill for what you’re planning to play, but it should serve you well for future-proofing. Just keep in mind that 16GB might be limiting for AI tasks.
Thanks for the input! DDR5 does seem a bit over my budget for what I need, and I'm okay with occasional AI usage. The 5070 Ti was chosen for some future-proofing, especially with more demanding games.
