It’s been since 2014 since I built my last computer. At the time I was really into small form factors and mini-itx machines. My current machine has a i7-4790K and GTX-980 on a Asus Z97I-PLUS motherboard with 16 GB of ram. I am getting decent performance playing MMO’s such as World of Warcraft and The Old Republic. I primarily play these types of games on High or Ultra but last few years I have noticed my system struggling to keep up.

I would like to build a new system based around the NZXT aesthetic prioritizing a clean sleek appearance and excellent performance to hopefully get me another 9.5 years of gaming.

Here is the build.

    I’d get the 14700K given that it is 10-20% faster than the 13700K. It’s the best way to maximize your value of this socket and motherboard since future CPU upgrades will be a different socket

      Yeah thats true, they have so little price difference right now, its better to get 14700k. i just thought op might be from a region like mine, which still intel 14th gen cpu costs 50% more than a 13th gen.
