Quick question, does your GPU really bottleneck that much? I'm planning on getting a similar build for mainly Fortnite on Performance and wanted to know how it'd run
The i7 13gen can handle any gpu without problem. If you already choose Intel and you will be gaming mainly, I suggest to buy an i5 13600k with a better gpu otherwise AMD is a better CPU choice nowadays and has better upgradeability. Please state your budget for the CPU and GPU so I can help you.
@@denko69 I think TH-cam deleted my comment so I'll rewrite it in case they did. I have an i7 9700F paired with a GTX 1660 SUPER. I saw the i7 13th gen 150 dollars cheaper on Best Buy and thought it was a steal. I get like 150-200 frames on Fortnite, but I need at least 240 stable frames. Would it work?
@@PatoChu It would work actually. But I wouldn't buy it if I were you. Something like Ryzen 7 7700X will get closely the same performance as the i7 13gen, but with the Ryzen you will be able to upgrade your CPU in 5 years or more. The 13gen i7 is on a dead platform because 14gen Is the last on LGA1700 and it's a copy of 13gen. What I'm saying is if you keep the 1660 super buy a Ryzen 7 7700X if you sell your i7 9gen and 1660 super go for Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 3060 which is what I would choose.

@@denko69 ohh ok thanks for the advice! I know I’d need a new PSU and Motherboard, but would I need new RAM or do those work on all motherboards?
@@PatoChu The Ryzen 7000 is on DDR5 Ram. 5600 to 6000Mhz are great options. For motherboards you can look into a620 or b650.
