I'm building my first PC and wanted to know if my current parts list is good and if it's worth the price. Here's what I have:
- **CPU**: Intel Core i7-14700K 3.4 GHz 20-Core Processor
- **CPU Cooler**: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB 110 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- **Motherboard**: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
- **Memory**: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
- **Storage**: Samsung 9100 PRO 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
- **Video Card**: MSI VENTUS 3X OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB Video Card
- **Case**: Corsair FRAME 5000D RS ARGB ATX Mid Tower Case
- **Power Supply**: be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
The total cost is about 2093 EUR. Any thoughts on this setup?

Before diving in, what's your main use for this PC? Is it for gaming, work, or a mix? If you're aiming to play demanding titles like GTA VI at 4K with good settings, this build should do well. Just keep in mind that the CPU choice might not be the best for gaming right now. I'd consider checking out some reviews on current CPUs for gaming to make sure you're getting the best performance for your budget.
I'll be gaming as well as using it for some light work, but gaming is the priority. Can I still get good performance with this build?
