How to Build The Best RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Gaming PC!

Main Components

GPU: MSI RTX 4070 Ti SUPER VENTUS 3X

MSI’s RTX 4070 Ti SUPER VENTUS 3X is the headline act for this build, bringing plenty of style and performance to the table. With a metallic grey shroud surrounding the fans, this graphics card resembles the designs of older generations such as NVIDIA’s GTX 1000 series, making it a perfect choice for long-time PC gamers looking for a hit of nostalgia.

On top of this, the neutral colour-scheme allows this GPU to slot into both a white or black-theme system without looking out of place. Whilst we’ve opted for a predominantly white aesthetic for this configuration, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER VENTUS 3X also looks great alongside the black motherboard.

As for the performance, the triple-fan design is powered by TORX 4.0 FAN technology, which joins two blades for more concentrated airflow, allowing the VENTUS 3X to remain cool at all times. As a result, you can expect this GPU to handle competitive gaming without any issues, even when dialling up the visual quality.

CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K

For the best performance possible in more challenging tasks, gaming or otherwise, a powerful mid-range CPU such as Intel’s Core i7-14700K is the perfect pairing for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. As arguably the best upgrade from their 13th generation of processors, Intel’s Core i7-14700K will make our build a great multi-tasker, perfect for content creation.

With a high core and thread count, along with boost clock speeds of up to 5.6GHz, this processor will have no issues running the latest games at 1440p and 4K, as well as plenty of firepower for workstation applications.

For gamers on a tighter budget, you could pick up the Core i5-14600K instead to save some more money. However, the Core i7-14700K will be the best companion for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in terms of performance.

CPU Cooler: MSI MAG CoreLiquid E360 WHITE

To keep our system cool, we’ve picked out MSI’s MAG CoreLiquid E360 WHITE, an AIO CPU cooler that offers incredible value for money. Despite being packed with a 360mm radiator and three 120mm fans, the E360 is amongst the more affordable liquid CPU coolers on the market.

Because of this, the CoreLiquid E360 WHITE is an excellent choice for our build, as the high-end cooling performance at a budget-friendly price point allows the power-hungry components to run at optimum temperatures while bringing down the overall cost of this system.

As the name indicates, this cooler comes with an all-white aesthetic, but MSI also offer a black version of the CoreLiquid E360. No matter which colourway you decide on, this cooler comes with RGB lighting on the fans and pump block, which can be customised through MSI’s Mystic Light software.

Motherboard: MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk MAX WiFi

MSI’s MAG Z790 Tomahawk MAX WiFi offers a wide range of connectivity options for gamers looking to build a high-end gaming PC, making it one of the best Z790 motherboards on the market. As this motherboard is designed with Intel’s high-end 14th-Gen CPUs in mind, it makes perfect sense to use it alongside the Core i7-14700K.

Featuring support for up to 192GB of DRR5 memory, as well as Gen5 slots for a graphics card and M.2 SSD, the Z790 Tomahawk MAX WiFi has plenty of connectivity to support the latest flagship components, as well as future releases. On top of this, the ATX form factor allows this design to slot into a range of PC cases with ease.

In terms of connectivity, the rear IO includes multiple high-speed USB-C and USB 3.2 ports, perfect for plugging in top-tier gaming peripherals and accessories. However, the biggest advantage this board has over the competition is the WiFi 7 module, which provides a greater stability for seamless and lag-free online gaming.

For this build in particular, the darker aesthetic on the PCB and heatsinks contrasts with the other components we’ve picked out, which won’t be to everyone’s liking. But for most builds, the black colour-scheme with the bright yellow/green accents will only elevate the overall look.

RAM: Lexar ARES RGB DDR5

In order to revert back to the mostly white theme for this build, our memory of choice is Lexar’s Ares RGB DDR5, a RAM kit that offers aggressive overclocking performance in a vibrant package. More specifically, we’ve picked out their 32GB kit that comes with speeds of up to 6400MT/s, as this configuration provides great value for money compared to other options on the market.

The combination of a CL32 latency and 6400MT/s transfer speeds leads to smooth and responsive gameplay in a range of competitive and blockbuster titles, even when a system is being pushed at higher settings. On top of this, the fast speed and lower latency compared to other choices at a similar price point means you’re less likely to experience technical issues and glitches.

As for the aesthetics, the ARES RGB DDR5 includes a strip of RGB lighting across the top of the DIMMs, which can be customised via software to match the rest of your system.

SSD: Corsair MP600 GS

For the storage solution, we’ve picked out an affordable M.2 Gen4 SSD in the form of Corsair’s MP600 GS, as this will help to reduce costs while having very little impact on gaming performance. Whilst it would have been easy to splash out on a Gen5 SSD, this drive is all that we need to run the latest games with minimal loading times.

Plus, the MP600 GS offers great value for money, with the 2TB version coming in at a price that is lower than most 1TB Gen5 offerings. By prioritising capacity over performance, this build will have no issues holding a large collection of games, even if it’s full of the huge file sizes required for the latest AAA titles.

Another way this SSD saves on money is by getting rid of the heatsink. Whilst this can have an impact on thermals when the drive is exposed, most motherboards come with a M.2 heatsink attached, which means most PC builders have nothing to worry about.

Case: MSI MPG Gungnir 300R Airflow

To house all of the parts used in this high-end 1440p gaming PC, we’ve picked the MSI MPG Gungnir 300R Airflow. As the name suggests, this chassis puts a heavy emphasis on maximising airflow, mainly by including plenty of ventilation throughout the design.

As a mid-tower case, the Gungnir 300R Airflow supports a wide range of components, including E-ATX motherboards and large 360mm AIO coolers. It also has plenty of room for our RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card to be installed horizontally and vertically.

However, the most beneficial aspect of this chassis is the sheer amount of airflow provided. With mesh panels surrounding the frame, along with three pre-installed fans and enough space to accommodate a high-end cooling solution, the Gungnir 300R Airflow makes it incredibly easy to keep all of your components cool.

PSU: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5

MSI’s MAG A850GL PCIE5 is one of the best PSUs on the market, especially if you plan on building a system capable of playing games at 1440p. This is mainly due to this 850W PSU offering a range of premium features while sticking to a very affordable price tag.

For example, the A850GL PCIE5 is one of the cheapest 850W power supplies to include ATX 3.0 compatibility, allowing our RTX 4070 Ti SUPER graphics card to be connected via a single 16-pin connector, whilst also offering a more efficient method of power delivery. This increased efficiency is supported further by the 80 Plus Gold rating, ensuring this PSU will remain quiet and cool under intense workloads.

In terms of design, this power supply is fully modular, allowing you to pick and choose which connectors are plugged into the device. As a result, cable management becomes much easier, as builders can leave any unnecessary cables out of the system to reduce clutter and confusion when plugging in new components.
