I'm building a new PC

I'm going to start with the Intel i5 13600k, seeing as it's just an i9 in i5 clothing. I was thinking of going denser and more expensive, but honestly, I just need enough to handle a live2d model, obs encoding, and games, I'm not rendering anything or doing more than those 3 things at once... too little/too much? Looking at GeForce RTX 4070 Super for GPU and going fully watercooled this time around cpu and gpu. So PSU will need to handle a decent load. For RAM, I'm going to put in 32gb of totally extra DDR5 memory... Now the question is, if that CPU isnt enough, do I go double core with 2 i5s, or is it a waste of 300 bucks, you think? Upgrade to better chip, or is this a viable alternative? PC bro's tell me what you think. Edit: For context; on my current rig, I'm running the Ryzen 7 3700x and EVGA RTX2060 Super. Both air-cooled.

  • That's a solid gaming build right there. I personally would not use 2 CPUs. If you're worried about multitasking (which it sounds like you are) I would just upgrade to a better chip. The 13600k is a beast, but I don't know it's performance when running multiple programs like live2d model and OBS. If you do upgrade at CPU, the top tier Intel CPUs tend to run hot so they would need to be liquid-cooled, which it sounds like you're already planning on doing. I wish I could offer more help, but it sounds like you're doing a lot of research and I'm sure you'll get what's right for you. My current PC: RTX 4090, i9-14900k, 64gb of DDR5
