Dude that thing is like 6 months away. And add another month or two if availability doesn’t even like you at all. And then by then, what if you just waited for the 6090? He ended up not playing battlefield 6 lol.
The 14900k is the worst CPU I’ve ever bought. Had to replace it twice already, the 2nd one had the microcode updates from the moment it went in and it still degraded and failed within 8 months. Going with AMD next time
Being single here is more important than working in cybersec IMO. Cuz I work in wholesale SI for $1k/mo (it’s above average by Ukraine standards) and you can see my rig in flair, but my friend on the same salary but with GF just upgraded to 3600 and 2070.
Forgot to mention: I got the cpu from a friend working in Intel for 250$ (50% from MSRP) EDIT: everyone are talking about the problems with the intel CPUs, well my friend from intel is a principal engineer of the cpu architecture and performance from the logic design side, I jokingly blamed him for the burning CPUs, he said “no comment”
Yes, this is an important point. My cpu failed after a year on a bios which I thought had this fix. Symptoms: cpu always works on 800 MHz instead of 3.2 Ghz, and everything is slow, games are in 10 fps
Intel employees can buy intel cpus for 50% off MSRP, so it was 250$ for me, i have friends working in Nvidia but unfortunately the GPU shop was empty (everyone bought from it), so i bought it in regular price
What does that have to do anything with it? 😅 You can have hobbies as a taken person, and money is less of an issue when you share a household with someone else
For real, the few $k a year I spend on my SO a year in gifts and food is much less than what she contributes to living costs, and it’s the same for her point of view. A win win
This is true. You can even play games with your partner. Mine actually quite liked the BF6 beta, though I could not participate due to a lack of a TPM. Peak is always fun too.
Funny enough the system requirements for BF6 are surprisingly low so you don’t even need a new computer in order to play…..why is EA suddenly being nice?
Because they had fun playing the game in the beta test, most likely. Shocker.
All internet outrage is one cool trailer away from being swept under the rug.
And all the outrage can also be used by people in the company to actually do better. Not ea as a whole, but a bunch of the Battlefield heads seemed to actually have learned something
Dude what speakers are those on the lower right? They’re huge. Please tell me you’re going to use them as desktop speakers haha. The cap is punched in though, hope it still works.
You didn’t have your bios settings right locking voltages prevents the damage regardless of the micro code. You can also Google how the 9800s are in fact degrading due to aggressive boost profiles and pbo settings
What made you choose Intel ? I’m always curious about this, as typically when it’s like for like (as in price) people would pick the most performant, and that’s very much AMD X3D. Intel uses loads more power for less performance. EDIT n/m just seen other comment that said you got it for half price.
My gaming laptop all of a sudden became ass to use after a firmware update. I tried to roll back, format, reinstall, all the tricks. Was on the brink of buying a new PC when I found out it had started to prioritize main board graphics which had to be changed in bios.
This is exactly what happened to me. I had been running games fine for years at 1440p 100-200fps on my 165hz monitor and after doing some driver and bios updates my performance was trash because it was finally prioritising the intel gpu instead of my rtx 3070.
oh nice I got a 9070xt and a 9600x3d but I play roblox, war thunder, and minecraft with a 75hz monitor (I know its a waste) edit: mb I meant 7600x3d, I do this a lot for some reason
Rtx 3070 with i7-12700k. Hoping to hold off upgrading for a few more years. I don’t play many brand new games, infact the only game I’m playing recently isn’t graphically demanding, although its not the best optimised.
3070 has 8gb of vram right? thats enough for most 1440p gaming, especially fps games, or more optimized games If it gets to a vram limitation, switch to 1080p (i know its ugly, but just save for a new gpu if its really bad, I heard 5070s in the states are getting cheaper) Probably won’t get to a vram limitation; I used to use a gtx 960 with 2gb vram, and it could do max settings at 60fps on war thunder and other games You’ll be fine.. probably..
Assuming the board was somehow dirt cheap, but Intel boards historically are not dirt cheap. In any case, the issues with raptor lake and raptor lake refresh would prevent me from buying it at most prices. For $400-500$ total between board and motherboard, you could get a 9700x or better and it’ll be just as good for gaming. Granted, if op also values the mt performance, then yeah, $250 for a 14900kf is tough to beat.
He likely does based on his business but I’m not one to speak for op. Honestly my 14900k has been rock solid thankfully. That said I made sure I hunted down and knocked on wood lol. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous but not a single crash in the almost 2 years I have had it
Had the same cpu and cooler. Uh oh. Your pc gonna sound like a jet engine if you play on high settings .. return it back and get AMD don’t make the same mistake I did
So will I actually need tpm 2 or will having secure boot be enough? Cuz I ain’t getting a new pc just for battlefield.
I played the beta fine but did it change now to require tpm 2 ? But when GTA 6 comes out on pc that’s a different story.
It’s easier when you know someone inside the industry who can vouch for you.
Cyber security is a vast field, i would start by deciding which field do you want to work at (offensive, Incident response, GRC etc…), I’m working as a security architect in one of the big4 and a CISSP certified. I have to say – cybersecurity is not an entry level job, first get experience in IT, networking and applications. My best advice for you is to start in a helpdesk job, befriending the security team and growing in the company from there, join r/securitycareeradvice for guidance.
Good Luck!
Watch ippsec on youtube. You’ll see what it’s all about and if it’s really for you. It seems fun. Oooh, hacking! And it is fun and cool but it’s also a ton of tedious shit. Not always as fun as Mr. Robot makes it seem. Unless you have that mind. In which case you’ll find out watching ippsec
I would gladly pay $250 more to have a 9800X3D CPU. Theres too many games that get CPU bound with Intel CPUs. Hell, my 9800X3D is occasionally CPU bound on my 5080…
I’m about to register for classes in October. I thought about doing Cyber Security over Software Development. I don’t really have a “passion” when it comes to work and I really just want a decent job, I’m willing to put in the work. I’m in the New England area, not sure if that matters.
I have almost the same pc but a 14700kf, it’s going to be a beast. Like many others said, look up an undervolting guide on YouTube. After undervolting, I got 5% more performance and my temps never go over 75C at highest load with a 360m aio.
I just dont understand why people spend gobs of money on a state of the art system and then get a Gen4 drive. What a waste. Get a Samsung 9100 gen 5 and let that system breathe. It’s literally TWICE as fast.
At this stage I’d install 64gb ram. I’m obviously being super picky, but you’re talking £100 for a potentially insane productivity boost if you decide to dabble with things like ai video and image generation.
Surprisingly the 5080 from my experience is impressively efficient, especially when using DLSS quality at 4k. My Founders 5080 draws about 240 – 280 W even with a boost clock up to 3100 MHz. Native 4k about 320 at most. Not sure the power draw of the i9 but my 9900x + 5080 still leaves me with decent overhead with my 1000w psu.
Same aswell. It was fun figuring out the cheapest list for bf6. Newegg combo deals and price match really came in clutch to lower the price of a 7700x to $198!
Ha.i did the same thing. Almost identical parts. I played the beta and I said shit. I need to do the upgrade I’ve been wanting for a while. Built a new PC and bought a 4K OLED monitor.
Yeah, battlefield 6 gave my pc a run for its money and I have a pretty good pc. No stuttering thankfully but I have never had a game make my cpu go 80+ usage and heat 😅
Why are people giving him shit? Let him enjoy his rig ffs! Who cares if he decided to get an Intel over an AMD. EDIT: I’m a hardware engineer at Google, and being in IT definitely helps pay for the hobby! Congrats man!
No one’s giving him shir, it’s just Intel CPUs are terrible now, it’s more about safety/bang for ur buck than being fanboys. Tho, he did say he got it for $250 so ig who wouldn’t take that deal? Hopefully it treats him well, not sure if they fixed the overheating issues yet….
I wanna build a new pc for battlefield 6 & gta 6, but I just don’t know yet if I’m actually going to play the pc enough to grant how much im gonna drop on the pc. That’s how I’m feeling with my current pc. I have no real incentive to upgrade but I also don’t want to upgrade for two games, nor do I want to play on console. Guess I may have to bite the bullet. It will cost me about $1100 including a bundle from micro center that includes 32gb ddr5, Ryzen 7600X and a ASUS tuf motherboard plus the GPU but it’s not in the combo. I’m thinking of looking at the Radeon 9070 XT triple swift. Goal is 1440p minimum. Been on 1080p with a 144hz monitor since idk 2018
I am also thinking of upgrading for BF6, but my GPU runs it fine, and it doesn’t look crap on lowest settings. I get like 120-200fps depending on map and location.
(7900x + RTX 2080s)
Wait til you realize you can overclock and undervolt the GPU to use less power but get basically 4090 levels of raw performance and it takes like 5 minutes. Excellent GPU
Man lived dangerously with the intel cpu and a 5080. Make sure to seat the 12v power into the 5080 securely and then double secure it by pushing it in farther. Me personally, I would’ve gone with a ryzen chip but solid build
I made the comment for the 9800x3d 39m ago and he followed up with the 14900kf price comment 38m ago as of writing this comment so I wouldn’t have known
Nah bro, whenever my car is broken I don’t take it to a mechanic I just stick a screwdriver in somewhere, lower the voltage and hope/pray it works well Surely it’s the same for CPUs?
No I’m completely ignorant daddy, tell me Tell me how to not run it stock? Tell me how to change my own oil? Tell me how to know more about processors? Tell me daddy, elucidate me daddy, spank me daddy
Love it, dude! Every PC I’ve purchased or built over the years has been because a new BF was coming out. Did it for BF2, BF3, BF1, and 2042. Wish I could build one for this BF6 release, but funds aren’t there this time around. And my last build was a 3080 Ti that still does just fine (handled beta just fine at ultra settings at 1440p). Guess I’ll wait for the 6000 series. See you on the battlefield!
That 14900kf may give you problems, make sure to get the latest bios and even then you may need to learn how to undervolt it properly!
Nice! Reminds me of when I built my first rig for Fallout 4 in 2016. Z-170A, i5-6500, R9 390, and only a HDD. Even had a CD drive.
Get first part (cyber security), second part (My fiancée) cost me another pc
Everyone burning money to play BF6, me still on am4 3600x overclocked ddr4 3200mhz and a 2070 super also overclocked, lets fucking goo 🤣🤣
I’m running a first generation threadripper still going strong
Man, I’m with my faithful 2060 of 5 years ago
Same but with a 2080ti struggling with my ultra wide 1440p 144hz monitor
Lower the refresh rate a bit?
Ah yeah was thinking about an ultra wide too, if you struggle with a 2080ti then my system wont run..
Awwww boo hoo, try 1660ti on a fucking 15″ laptop screen
The beta ran fine, and I’m still rocking a 1080. Not a Ti even.
Idk if that case has tempered glass or not. But i see that floor.
Great combo, what was your previous pc config
Dude that thing is like 6 months away. And add another month or two if availability doesn’t even like you at all. And then by then, what if you just waited for the 6090? He ended up not playing battlefield 6 lol.
LOL that Intel.
The 14900k is the worst CPU I’ve ever bought. Had to replace it twice already, the 2nd one had the microcode updates from the moment it went in and it still degraded and failed within 8 months. Going with AMD next time
Being single here is more important than working in cybersec IMO. Cuz I work in wholesale SI for $1k/mo (it’s above average by Ukraine standards) and you can see my rig in flair, but my friend on the same salary but with GF just upgraded to 3600 and 2070.
You chose well sir I hope it serves your well and a great touch on the cou deal.
Those speakers might be too much for a computer.
Excellent. Good luck brother, follow the instructions well and give it proper maintenance.
Freaking I/O shield!
Forgot to mention: I got the cpu from a friend working in Intel for 250$ (50% from MSRP) EDIT: everyone are talking about the problems with the intel CPUs, well my friend from intel is a principal engineer of the cpu architecture and performance from the logic design side, I jokingly blamed him for the burning CPUs, he said “no comment”
Yes, this is an important point. My cpu failed after a year on a bios which I thought had this fix. Symptoms: cpu always works on 800 MHz instead of 3.2 Ghz, and everything is slow, games are in 10 fps
I have CompTIA certifications (LET ME IN INTEL!!!!) 😂
Can you kick your friend at Intel in the balls for me for giving amd a monopoly?
Intel CPU’s also come with a free copy of BF6, so hopefully nobody here tries to criticize you for not paying $500 for a 9800X3D.
The 5080 comes with Borderlands 4, good time to choose these components!
Where I’m from, the 9800x3d costs the same as the 14900kf, and it’s 400$ (converted to usd)
$400….$500….you are splitting hairs here…..he got the intel for $250 and it comes with a free copy of BF6
Damn is that what those go for? I got my 7800x3d with mobo and ram as a bundle for $450 all included
Why are 9800X3D so expensive in murica? In Germany it’s 450.
You’d probably be better off down the line with the 9800X3D because of the lower power usage and AM5 upgrade guarenteed until 2027.
Ok that makes more sense lol
still not worth it lmao sorry intel is just garbage too hot too much power draw too little fps.
Ok yeah I can safely say I’d do the exact same thing
Wtf is the i9 that cheap in USA
Intel employees can buy intel cpus for 50% off MSRP, so it was 250$ for me, i have friends working in Nvidia but unfortunately the GPU shop was empty (everyone bought from it), so i bought it in regular price
what price can they buy the cards for usually, then?
I’ve seen i9’s for 400$ in Oklahoma but that’s the cheapest I’ve seen
First thing I thought when I saw this pic is wtf would you go intel but that makes sense. Glad I scrolled down.
It doesn’t. It’s a brand new build you’re going to have for years. Sell the Intel CPU and do the job right.
Well I mean I agree but what I meant is I understand.
Being single 🤝
What does that have to do anything with it? 😅 You can have hobbies as a taken person, and money is less of an issue when you share a household with someone else
Hey, if you’re in a relationship, you aint playing Battlefield. If you’re having sex, you aint playing battlefield.
I have both and I play a 3-day rust wipe fully. You can definitely have both.
For real, the few $k a year I spend on my SO a year in gifts and food is much less than what she contributes to living costs, and it’s the same for her point of view. A win win
A lot of people with partners spend their disposable income on dates and activities, and their time.
All I am saying is that if it’s your interest and hobby, you will find time for it.
This is true. You can even play games with your partner. Mine actually quite liked the BF6 beta, though I could not participate due to a lack of a TPM. Peak is always fun too.
> What does that have to do anything with it? 😅 No girlfriend to whine about you spending money on things she doesn’t like!
My wife doesn’t. She uses my PC to play The Sims when I’m not it.
If your girlfriend or wife is whining about you spending money on things that you like and or enjoy then you chose the wrong girlfriend or wife
Funny enough the system requirements for BF6 are surprisingly low so you don’t even need a new computer in order to play…..why is EA suddenly being nice?
still not enough
Yep, should be all set on upgrades for a few years I’d say.
Ah, some reference I missed, I see
Hopefully you are aware of the BF6 anticheat and its principles as someone who works in cyber security
Because they had fun playing the game in the beta test, most likely. Shocker.
All internet outrage is one cool trailer away from being swept under the rug.
And all the outrage can also be used by people in the company to actually do better. Not ea as a whole, but a bunch of the Battlefield heads seemed to actually have learned something
Did you get a free copy of uno with your case btw?
iCue is a nightmare
Dude what speakers are those on the lower right? They’re huge. Please tell me you’re going to use them as desktop speakers haha. The cap is punched in though, hope it still works.
Behringer B2030P
They are Marley speakers
Looks like Behringer Truth Studio Monitors
That’s gonna be a sick build. I remember doing my last PC build for the disappointment that was 2042. Still worked out in the end though
Lmao this is some fanboy bullshit. BF6 beta was fantastic. Your fanboy is showing.
wouldn’t know since fuck linux and GPU passthrough in a VM users apparently.
Be sure to place your case’s glass panel on the tile floor, a cool Easter egg happens
There’s many videos online already showing a tuned 14900k beating or matching a tuned 9800 in bf6, he will be fine
A 9800 isn’t going to degrade and crash everyone you play a game though, that’s what I was getting at
You didn’t have your bios settings right locking voltages prevents the damage regardless of the micro code. You can also Google how the 9800s are in fact degrading due to aggressive boost profiles and pbo settings
I had everything set manually and still rma’d multiple CPUs. Voltages and microcodes didn’t fix the underlying issues
What made you choose Intel ? I’m always curious about this, as typically when it’s like for like (as in price) people would pick the most performant, and that’s very much AMD X3D. Intel uses loads more power for less performance. EDIT n/m just seen other comment that said you got it for half price.
Put my old pc to rest after playing the beta😔, upgraded to a 4080 I got from a friend for a good price and a ryzen 7 9800x3d
and I just sold my GTX 1080 for 100 and planning to buy 3070 for 200
did you not see the news? its been canceled.
.
.
.
JK. enjoy 😇
At $250 nothing is going to match the 14900K.
Yeah but the 14900 is not 250. He can sell it for more and go amd lol
For Battlefield 6 full amd would be better. 9800x3d 9070xt
Expensive game
I hope you have the proper monitor with high refresh rate .. i wish you bought Amd cpu for excellent gaming
Man that looks sick congratulations!!!
Who’s gonna tell him you can play it on an RTX 3060
Why intel 😢
You better PTFO with that
My 2080S will do just fine
Intel 🤮, but congrats…nothing feels better than finally being able to build the PC you want.
Ugh updated my drivers on my 5070 Ti for bf6 and had to roll back because black screen issue on the LATEST DRIVERS what The Fuck Nvidia
Just make sure you do the bios update for the intel microcode!
Better advice would be to return it for something on am5. Just not asrock
They work in cyber security. Let’s hope they are on top of firmware haha
Yes this is very important!
And plug the monitor into the video card, not the motherboard
Connect it with thoughts and prayers
Bluetooth GPU
There is actually a wireless semi recent gpu that works on wifi, but it’s not optimal
Can you tell me how it is having a 1440p 24“ ? People only recommend 27“ monitors but I feel like I don‘t need 27 because I‘m used to 24.
And call me if you get lost.
Hopes and dreams
Dont forget to take off the plastic cover off the cpu cooler!
I connect the monitor into the motherboard when I need extra vram for AI on my GPU.
I realised I’d had my displayport plugged into my motherboard not my 3070 last week, after 3 years of use 🤣😭
This has to be a joke.
Not a joke only i relized after putting all maxed out and crashed all the time
think u underestimate the stupidity of the avg man. like think of the dumbest normal person you know. that person is baseline.
My gaming laptop all of a sudden became ass to use after a firmware update. I tried to roll back, format, reinstall, all the tricks. Was on the brink of buying a new PC when I found out it had started to prioritize main board graphics which had to be changed in bios.

I feel like you play at 1080p 60hz
Nah, 1440p 166hz. I never had an issue with performance until a did some driver updates and then I noticed it recently.
oh nice I got a 9070xt and a 9600x3d but I play roblox, war thunder, and minecraft with a 75hz monitor (I know its a waste) edit: mb I meant 7600x3d, I do this a lot for some reason
Rtx 3070 with i7-12700k. Hoping to hold off upgrading for a few more years. I don’t play many brand new games, infact the only game I’m playing recently isn’t graphically demanding, although its not the best optimised.
3070 is good for at least another 6 ish years On optimized games
Vram will be the biggest limitation i think.
3070 has 8gb of vram right? thats enough for most 1440p gaming, especially fps games, or more optimized games If it gets to a vram limitation, switch to 1080p (i know its ugly, but just save for a new gpu if its really bad, I heard 5070s in the states are getting cheaper) Probably won’t get to a vram limitation; I used to use a gtx 960 with 2gb vram, and it could do max settings at 60fps on war thunder and other games You’ll be fine.. probably..
And cutting your fingers multiple times putting the I/O shield on.
I would also go into bios and cap voltage on all cores to 1.6v
Sir, I believe some assembly is required.
just don’t preorder it 🤘
Single is the key for everyone. And living with parents 😂 Enjoy it brother!
Assuming the board was somehow dirt cheap, but Intel boards historically are not dirt cheap. In any case, the issues with raptor lake and raptor lake refresh would prevent me from buying it at most prices. For $400-500$ total between board and motherboard, you could get a 9700x or better and it’ll be just as good for gaming.

Well, the micro code updates sure as hell help
Only for so long. Until they all die anyways.
Yea as soon as the betas for that came out I was on it. Hopefully I got it before any major damage. I will say holy moly does it run hot though lol
You leave everything on stock values?
Right now yea. Hooked to a 360 aio
Had the same cpu and cooler. Uh oh. Your pc gonna sound like a jet engine if you play on high settings .. return it back and get AMD don’t make the same mistake I did
Thats what i did i bought the New Intel Core Ultra CPU thinking Intel always the goat then i did some research now i have a Ryzen 7 9800x3d.
So will I actually need tpm 2 or will having secure boot be enough? Cuz I ain’t getting a new pc just for battlefield.
I played the beta fine but did it change now to require tpm 2 ? But when GTA 6 comes out on pc that’s a different story.
Jesus, that’s going to be a beast when it’s fully up and running.
Mind telling me how you got into cyber security? I’m interested in the field (and the moolah 😂) Nice build man 🤙
It’s easier when you know someone inside the industry who can vouch for you.
Cyber security is a vast field, i would start by deciding which field do you want to work at (offensive, Incident response, GRC etc…), I’m working as a security architect in one of the big4 and a CISSP certified. I have to say – cybersecurity is not an entry level job, first get experience in IT, networking and applications. My best advice for you is to start in a helpdesk job, befriending the security team and growing in the company from there, join r/securitycareeradvice for guidance.
Good Luck!
cybersecurity is a complete useless job if you’re not previously an experienced developer
Thanks man 😁🤙
Watch ippsec on youtube. You’ll see what it’s all about and if it’s really for you. It seems fun. Oooh, hacking! And it is fun and cool but it’s also a ton of tedious shit. Not always as fun as Mr. Robot makes it seem. Unless you have that mind. In which case you’ll find out watching ippsec
Oh yes don’t worry I’m not expecting it to be fun I’m expecting the “fun” to come from problem solving but realistically I’m in it for the money
damn i mean you don’t need that kinda build for bf6 😭
9070xt does better in bf6
That’s good for gta 6 bro
Very nice congrats sir
You were supposed to get a Ryzen bruv 😢
I would gladly pay $250 more to have a 9800X3D CPU. Theres too many games that get CPU bound with Intel CPUs. Hell, my 9800X3D is occasionally CPU bound on my 5080…
What a blessing my friend! Enjoy it a lot!!!
How much you get the 5080 for?
Shut your stupid ass up
That’s amazing. You will love it.
*but doesn’t buy the season pass*
Sick man. Welcome to PC gaming, il see you on the other side
This guy feeling retarded after learning bf6 graphics were gimped just so crack children can run it on their potato hardware LMAO
Don’t forget to take the plastic off the cpu cooler 😎
Ew, Intel. Nice build tho, enjoy.
I’m about to register for classes in October. I thought about doing Cyber Security over Software Development. I don’t really have a “passion” when it comes to work and I really just want a decent job, I’m willing to put in the work. I’m in the New England area, not sure if that matters.
Im happy for you, but my 1080ti 8600k can play BF 6 just fine. You can do a whoooole lot more with a 5080. Enjoy it.
Upvote because I see speakers
I was gonna do this but the beta ran really well on my 2080 super.
Don’t forget to update the bios on your motherboard or you’ll toast that 14900KF
You playing it in vr max graphics or sum shit 😂😂😂
It’s not optimal for a long time and only useful for specific scenarios
Please update when the PC is assembled and running! Good luck on the field! 😀
I have almost the same pc but a 14700kf, it’s going to be a beast. Like many others said, look up an undervolting guide on YouTube. After undervolting, I got 5% more performance and my temps never go over 75C at highest load with a 360m aio.
W case, psu and ram (and the rest too) I have the same for tnose 3 things (4000D Airflow instead of Frame though)
I just dont understand why people spend gobs of money on a state of the art system and then get a Gen4 drive. What a waste. Get a Samsung 9100 gen 5 and let that system breathe. It’s literally TWICE as fast.
Dudes will look at this and say « hell yeah »
Im thinking of selling my gpu and upgrading for BF6 too
Great price for the KF I paid 220 for mine and haven’t looked back. Should last me until AM6 or see if Nvidia does anything.
I hope your cpu stays fine, i updated my bios and sent it back
For clarification, if you buy a Intel product I heard you get BF6 for free.
At this stage I’d install 64gb ram. I’m obviously being super picky, but you’re talking £100 for a potentially insane productivity boost if you decide to dabble with things like ai video and image generation.
For an I9 with a 5080 I think you legitimately will need a 1200w psu. Other than that, looks amazing dude!
Surprisingly the 5080 from my experience is impressively efficient, especially when using DLSS quality at 4k. My Founders 5080 draws about 240 – 280 W even with a boost clock up to 3100 MHz. Native 4k about 320 at most. Not sure the power draw of the i9 but my 9900x + 5080 still leaves me with decent overhead with my 1000w psu.
That’s not a PC, that’s a military enlistment waiver — Battlefield 6 will run smoother on this than in real life.
You could better pick a ryzen 9800x3d than that intel 14900k a lot more FPS.
I’ll never understand why people keep buying Intel….
Honestly if you look at the OC overhead, the 5080 is basically just a downclocked super
Except the supers are supposed to have 24GB of VRAM.
Man I love adult legos! That will do quite nicely!
How is that the point you took from his comment?
Another person who goes Intel for a brand new build because who the fuck knows why besides blind fan boyisim.
I forgot to mention so i wrote it in a comment, i got the cpu from a friend working in Intel for 250$ so it was an insane deal
That’s such an insane deal.
That’s an insane deal bro, just make sure to update the bios
Heck yeah dude! Friend and I also did a rebuilds for BF6. Enjoy the process!
Same aswell. It was fun figuring out the cheapest list for bf6. Newegg combo deals and price match really came in clutch to lower the price of a 7700x to $198!
Bro that’s a great deal, the 7700X is a beast! I probably spent too much myself, but here we are lol
Yep, it paired with a 9060xt like a beast compared to my previous system with a ryzen 5 5500 and gtx 1660 super!
Bro that’s gonna be night and day. Welcome to frame country!
At the risk of being pedantic and feeling mischievous today. What are you going to play it on, I don’t see a monitor. 😁
If two people who make 100k live together, you genuinely don’t believe they make more money and live better than you…are you slow?
Ha.i did the same thing. Almost identical parts. I played the beta and I said shit. I need to do the upgrade I’ve been wanting for a while. Built a new PC and bought a 4K OLED monitor.
Almost identical to mine except I only got an i7 processor.
my ryzen 5 pro is better
Yeah, battlefield 6 gave my pc a run for its money and I have a pretty good pc. No stuttering thankfully but I have never had a game make my cpu go 80+ usage and heat 😅
Make sure to get a CPU contact frame too. Might be worth it to spend an extra $10
Intel is dead 5 years ago… 9800X3D or nothing to play Battlefield 6 kid
damnit, wish I went for the WiFi 7 version. I’ve only got 6E and it would have been nice to get the multi-band support
Why are people giving him shit? Let him enjoy his rig ffs! Who cares if he decided to get an Intel over an AMD. EDIT: I’m a hardware engineer at Google, and being in IT definitely helps pay for the hobby! Congrats man!
No one’s giving him shir, it’s just Intel CPUs are terrible now, it’s more about safety/bang for ur buck than being fanboys. Tho, he did say he got it for $250 so ig who wouldn’t take that deal? Hopefully it treats him well, not sure if they fixed the overheating issues yet….
because why would you buy a CPU WITH A KNOWN defect? It’s not an AMD VS Intel thing.
Nice bro. Updated mine as well after 9 years.
Got a nice deal on a Asus astral OC
Someone wrote Battlefield also runs on a 980
I wanna build a new pc for battlefield 6 & gta 6, but I just don’t know yet if I’m actually going to play the pc enough to grant how much im gonna drop on the pc. That’s how I’m feeling with my current pc. I have no real incentive to upgrade but I also don’t want to upgrade for two games, nor do I want to play on console. Guess I may have to bite the bullet. It will cost me about $1100 including a bundle from micro center that includes 32gb ddr5, Ryzen 7600X and a ASUS tuf motherboard plus the GPU but it’s not in the combo. I’m thinking of looking at the Radeon 9070 XT triple swift. Goal is 1440p minimum. Been on 1080p with a 144hz monitor since idk 2018
Enjoy my friend!!, post the final result pls
I am also thinking of upgrading for BF6, but my GPU runs it fine, and it doesn’t look crap on lowest settings. I get like 120-200fps depending on map and location.
(7900x + RTX 2080s)
Never build a PC just for a single game. You’d limit yourself for what you can get for the money. Other than that, good luck!
Very nice, congrats!
Nice. Tips on getting into that field?
either know someone or go get a CS degree from a state college and work your way toward it over 5-10 years if you can’t take the nepo shortcut
Hell yeah (can I continue this or is that cheating?)
Monitor oled where is?
Wait til you realize you can overclock and undervolt the GPU to use less power but get basically 4090 levels of raw performance and it takes like 5 minutes. Excellent GPU
everyone asking how you got all these, i’m trying to find out how you got into cyber security
House of Marley speaker any good? Looking at getting some for my daughter’s vinyl player.
I see tile floors. Dont let the glass panel touch the tile floors.
You bought a new 14900KF in 2025?
Man lived dangerously with the intel cpu and a 5080. Make sure to seat the 12v power into the 5080 securely and then double secure it by pushing it in farther. Me personally, I would’ve gone with a ryzen chip but solid build
Bad choice to go with Intel due to stability and overheating issue! Hence, you should’ve gone with AMD X870E mobo and Ryzen 9 9950X3D instead.
I really wish people would stop believing they need that fastest cpu my gpu is the breadwinner here
Any particular reason for a Raptor Lake chip?
Do you only read every 3rd word or something? It was in the original comment for this thread
can you say that again I got « only 3rd something in comment thread »
I made the comment for the 9800x3d 39m ago and he followed up with the 14900kf price comment 38m ago as of writing this comment so I wouldn’t have known
Are you sure it wasn’t 37 min ago these things matter.
Let’s hope they fix the cheater problem which was already in the open beta. Otherwise enjoy looking at very smooth death cams
If you always wait for something better, you’ll never build at all. Something better is basically always 6 months away, or less.
by the time the supers are in stock at msrp, it would be 6 months away from RTX 6000 release and the waiting cycle continues
why an intel i9
That Behringer on the floor, I hope you don’t have downstairs neighbors lol
I hope you have a wonderful day
My friend is doing a build for BF6. So hyped
Dude bought intel in twenty twenty-five
You’re going to have your fun. For me, it was always a Battlefield game in the past few years that pushed me to upgrade😁
Congrats bro 🙌 hobbies are a great way of motivating you to work hard/grind to be able to afford the cool toys.
Facts. I took some freelance work to pay for my wedding and ended up with money left over so got a 5070.
Nice man. Enjoy!
Neat build, man! I hope you enjoy it!
Or you can do the method that intel recommends and not void your warranty but you do you
Nah bro, whenever my car is broken I don’t take it to a mechanic I just stick a screwdriver in somewhere, lower the voltage and hope/pray it works well Surely it’s the same for CPUs?
Don’t forget to smack it around a little bit
Do you really know that little about processors?
Did you really buy a k series processor just to run it stock? Do you even change your own oil?
No I’m completely ignorant daddy, tell me Tell me how to not run it stock? Tell me how to change my own oil? Tell me how to know more about processors? Tell me daddy, elucidate me daddy, spank me daddy
*Spits the mana of knowledge in your mouth*
Since when does lowering voltage void warranty?
It popped up for me in xtu. Could you argue it and likely win? Yes. Is it worth it when there is a way to make it stable and not have to fight it? No.
Welcome to the party bro! I got myself an upgrade for bf6 too.
Got the same MB. Nice.
Love it, dude! Every PC I’ve purchased or built over the years has been because a new BF was coming out. Did it for BF2, BF3, BF1, and 2042. Wish I could build one for this BF6 release, but funds aren’t there this time around. And my last build was a 3080 Ti that still does just fine (handled beta just fine at ultra settings at 1440p). Guess I’ll wait for the 6000 series. See you on the battlefield!
my 2080ti was struggling, time to upgrade !
I have simalar setup but with 9800 x 3d and it ran beautifully in 4k on the beta
BF6 is so fun! Congrats on the ballin computer, it will look amazing on it!
Checks out.
Broo -11 downvotes😭😭wtf i just proved my point
Because the beta was fun?
This brings me a nostalgic feeling. I build my first pc back in 2011 for bf3 launch! I had i5-2500k and nvidia 560ti build back then 😀
