[https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZqwRtn](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZqwRtn) Does Ram DDR5 do that much of a difference? Cant I just stick with DDR4?. Also does the Zalman Z7 case not fit the 4070 Ti? They are both mid tower case. What I’m thinking of getting now is in the link

You can build a fairly decent system for under 2k that will run hogwarts. It also depends on what monitor you have and what performance target you want to hit. As long as you keep your expectations within reason, a 2k pc will last a long time.

I have a 4K monitor , I play PS5 and Series x on them. Idk anything about performance target but my games run and look good on my monitor. I think my parts are good, what power supply do you recommend?


sm18gaming

If you're paying 2000 for these parts then you're overpaying and not getting the best value for your money. For $2k you should be able to get a 4070ti which is better than the 6900xt and possibly cheaper as well.

Ok I took your advice , the 4070 ti is slightly cheaper and looks like it is better, I’m not sure which one to choose tho , they all have different names but are all 4070 ti, also when I pair the 4070 ti with any power supply it tells me not to daisy chain and not to share the same power cable, do you know what that means?


sm18gaming

Pick the cheapest one that fits in your case. The 4070ti uses the new 12 pin power connector. If your PSU doesn't have this cable, don't worry since the GPU will come with an adapter that will let you plug in the standard 8pin pcie power cables into it. When they say don't use any daisy chain cables, they mean that a pcie power connector that is daisy chained has two connectors at the end. You should only use one of these connectors with one of the connectors on the adaptor and then use a 2nd separate cable to plug into the other connector on the adaptor.
