As title suggests; upgrading from haswell & gtx 970 -> raptor lake & rtx 4070.
Dont plan to upgrade for another 5+ years at least. worth going the i7 route in this case? Mainly doing gaming, video editing & 3d modelling (hobbyist - not professional).
Not really fussed about meteor lake & 14th gen raptor lake doesn’t seem totally worth it for the price. With black friday deals I can build the i7 rig for as much as I was gonna pay for the i5. It’s just debating whether i want to save that 100…
Also thought about putting the money towards a better GPU, but 4070ti is barely a step up for £200 extra and the 4080 is a no go (not going AMD old habits die hard lol), so that’s that.
Would love to hear some thoughts on this as i’ve been out of the PC loop for some time! Thx in advance.
Strangely I was in your situation few weeks ago about same bulid then finally settled for 13600k and rtx 3070 that what was in my budget at the time and gave my gtx 970 to my bro and build him new PC with 13500 and ddr5 6000 MHz and what’s really funny now they released 14 gen after I built both PC and now the prices are dropping and I bought the 13600k for 410 USD and 13500 for 245usd and used rtx 3070 for 329 usd
