Are the i7-14700KF and RTX 5080 a solid combo for gaming?

-

I’m in the process of planning a new PC build and I’m aiming for the best performance for both gaming and productivity. I’m considering an Intel i7-14700KF paired with an RTX 5080, along with 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 6400MHz. Is this a good setup for high-end gaming?

Definitely, that combo should serve you well! The i7-14700KF is a beast and when paired with the RTX 5080, you’ll have no trouble handling even the most demanding games and applications. Just make sure your cooling system is up to par to keep everything running smoothly!

Honestly, you might want to consider going AMD for better value. The new Ryzen CPUs are pretty powerful and they can offer excellent performance, especially when paired with a high-end GPU. Just my two cents!
