What is the best intel cpu for gaming? Is it i9 13900k? Or is it too much hassle trying to keep it cool?

7800X3D has by far the best value (and extremely good performance) if youre talking about high end gaming CPUs

Ok I have taken your advice, can you tell me if this looks good keeping in mind £2000 is my budget

i9 13900K would be beast of a processor but it basically requires a beefy AIO if you don't want to power limit it.

But someone told me here that i9 13 is getting a revamp later this year so maybe they will take over?

Basically your options for BEST CPU in 2023 is either AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D or Inter i9 13900K.

If you go for Intel and use your PC exclusively for gaming you should consider Intel i7 13700K. It performs almost identically with i9 13900K in games.

I have i7 13700K and I paired it with Noctua's high end air cooler but it still gets pretty warm under productive and CPU heavy loads. My solution was to slightly undervolt it and I set power limit at 200 watts. TDP is 125 W but it goes as high as 253 W if you can keep it cool. The last 53 watts are "empty". Your performance increases like 1-3% but temperature rises 10-15c.

If I were you, I'd find faster RAM with lower CL (Kingston FURY CL 40.. kinda oof), I'd take 1TB Samsung 990 Pro instead of 980 and that PSU... hmm.. It could be better, like Corsair's RM/HX/AX-series or maybe some higher mid tier Seasonic? You absolutely do NOT want to cheap out on PSU.

If these go way over your budget, SSD's read/write speeds are not so important regarding gaming and you only gain couple more fps from faster RAM with lower CL. But that PSU does not convince me.

And if you plan to play new games (maybe even in 4K) in the future you should probably consider getting a GPU with more VRAM.

Is 4070 ti enough vram? Oh and I’ve found a good deal here so think I’m just going to buy this
