Came to £2626 + £25 for 5 x ARCTIC P14 (5 Pack) - 140 mm Case Fan which PCS didn't have as an option.

I hope to add 3 140m fans to the side of the case & use the spare two to go on the bottom of the case, this won't be difficult if I watch a Youtube video on how to install the 3 side fans on the Corsair 5000D will it?

feel free to rate it.

This is an upgrade from my Old PC system from 2018, was sick of playing games without shadows & medium setting.

1070ti , i7 8700k 4.6 , 32GB

The 5070Ti isn't really a 4k gaming card I'm afraid 🙁

I know welI thought if I just get that now & perhaps hold onto it as its not to expensive as the 5080 + I could trade it in for a 6 series when they come out, its all I could get within a reasonable budget 🙁 Am also only using a 60inch 4k OLED Tv aswell so I don't expect anything higher then 60fps at the moment

And since it's already in build, maybe worth adding another smaller fast drive just for Windows once you get the PC, just cos its useful to keep separate

5070 ti would be fine for 4k but you wont be maxxing things out but if your just aiming for 60 right now you would be fine

looks like it

unless nvidia decides to require a stupid amount of power for their next gpu

I did have 32GB ram & a 1000 PSU in my order but I changed it based on advice on the forums so hopefully this build will be future proof a little bit, I had almost 7yrs out of this current system. I just think the 5080s are a tad to expensive

not much of a upgrade from the 5070 ti either for the price increase

5070 Ti is a great card. To go 4K you want to you use DLSS 4 in quality-mode. You will se almost no difference from native 4K and you'll get a great fps boost.
