I am currently exploring upgrading my PC after 8 years - I have very little patience for partial upgrades so I tend to invest in a relatively decent rig that i hope will last 5+ years at a minimum.
I am currently considering a rig with the below specs and was wondering if anyone is able to offer me any feedback that I should consider? From what I consider i am pretty future proofed with this. I don't game to 4K but think it can offer the capability for it should I go for it down the line. My main concern I guess is whether the Processer is overkill - GPU cost is usually the monster nowadays, so the cost of the i9 didnt really put me off. But I've heard that the i9-14900K runs quite hot and I am wondering, even with the cooler I've selected below, whether anyone can advise on how noisy the beast would be (ie is it distracting).
Cheers for any feedback.
