Hey everyone! I'm trying to decide between two setups for my gaming rig:
1. Intel i7-14700K paired with an RTX 5070
2. Intel i5-14600K combined with an RTX 5070 Ti
I'm curious which combo will give me the best performance for gaming. Any thoughts would be super helpful! Thanks!

I'd go with the i5-14600K and the RTX 5070 Ti. The i7-14700K is a solid choice, but you're sacrificing a better GPU tier if you pick it over the Ti.
Between those two options, definitely choose the second setup. But honestly, have you considered the AM5 platform instead? It might give you better future upgrade options!
For gaming, I really recommend going with an AM5 setup. AMD offers great CPUs with an easier upgrade path than Intel right now. If you're choosing between your options, definitely prioritize the GPU over the CPU since upgrading the CPU later is simpler and cheaper.
Thanks! If I switch to AMD, which processor would you suggest for the AM5?
