With the release of Monster hunter wilds coming up, I've established that my poor old RTX 2060 super is no longer up to par with the current gaming requirements. I've had my current system for almost 6 years and now looking for something that will last a similar amount of time.

Preferably would like to keep the Intel/Nvidia ecosystem unless someone makes a better argument (12th Gen/4070 Super). I've heard there were stability issues with the 13/14th gen CPU's from Intel and not seen anything about fixes so would like to avoid although almost certainly already out of my price range.

As for performance, I'd be targeting 120fps or above in modern games with High or better settings (unsure if this is unrealistic for the price range).

With above in mind would the following be recommended or have I messed up with the configurable items? (Cooling fans, CPU Cooler, PSU etc.)

the 13th/14th gen issues mostly relate to i9 and possibly to i7 (since it's just a lower binned cpu) and they have mostly been resolved with microcode fixes

i know you've said that you want to keep the intel/nvidia ecosystem but i think you should go AMD for the CPU and stay with NVIDIA for the GPU

simply put, you have the budget for a 9800X3D, which is the best gaming CPU out there rn, it'll really get the most performance possible out of your 4070 super...

you could wait for the 5070 as it would fit nicely into your budget and you'd get more performance out of it (it releases soon, march 5)

overall if you go for a 5070 with a 9800X3D, you'll be golden. you'll be getting the most performance you can out of your budget

here's a system with a 4070 super and a 9800X3D: (https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/saved/5922766)

btw to elaborate on the choice with the 9800X3D - it's also the most futureproofed as you'll be on AM5 (the newest revision of AMDs socket) which will last for a good few years (possibly 5 or more)

an i7-12700K is platform limited meaning if you wanted to upgrade it in future you'd likely have to upgrade motherboard and with it RAM
