The biggest selling point, especially if you're upgrading from an older rig, is the jump in resolution: you can ditch 1080p for 4K gaming instead, with the RTX 5070 Ti giving you enough breathing room to use 1440p or 4K resolutions, especially if you're happy to optimize your graphics settings for the most demanding games. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the perfect option for a mid-tier build, shipping with 8,960 CUDA cores, along with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM.You're also able to take advantage of the latest Nvidia tech supported by this current-gen Blackwell GPU, including support for DLSS 4. That's a handy set of functionality to support, as DLSS 4's multi-frame generation will let you push up to high and ultra graphics settings at 4K and make it playable.The CPU isn't too bad of an option here, either. The Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU continues to be a popular choice for Intel-focused gaming PCs at this price point. While it's a little older now, it still packs a punch. The 14900KF has 24 cores, eight of which are performance cores that will give your machine the best gaming performance. The other 16 included in this CPU, meanwhile, are efficiency cores, which are great for multi-threaded tasks. You'll be able to push this CPU's clock up to a massive 6 GHz, too.Our CPU benchmarks still have a place for the i9-14900K, the same CPU but with an integrated GPU that the 14900KF here lacks, marking it as one of the best performing processors on sale for gamers if you're still holding out for an Intel over AMD machine.
