Re: Advice wanted for pc specs for playing Apex

In regards to Apex (and most other games) , it doesnt really matter if you opt for a fast i5 or the top i9.
Given the same GPU is used, the FPS will differ in the single digit percentage.
There are some exceptions like "The Finals", where its better to have a top notch CPU.
AMDs RX7800/7900 series might be also worth a look, if fps per watt is not an issue for you.
With the new 5000 series, prices for previous generations will drop, so it might be a better option to go with the 4070 if you dont wanna loose a chunk of money only bcs the new generation hits the shelves. 
imho X070 series models from Nvidia were always the "best bang for the buck" option, as i experienced myself and with a lot of my friends.

    @r1ggedgame Also, thank you for the advice. This makes me feel much better about the one I'm looking at. I bet sometimes newer generation processors can drop in price once an even newer one is released, so the 4070 is probably the best value, especially if the difference really isn't noticeable.

    @AymCTLI think it’s best to work backwards on this. What resolution and at what refresh rate are planning to play at?

    The 4070, especially the super variant, should be plenty for most people. You could always upgrade the gpu in 2-3 years and leave everything else alone.

    Personally I have a 3070 for a 1440, 175hz monitor, and it stay’s pretty much locked at 170fps. It’ll dip if there’s a ton of stuff going on. I think that if I had a 4070 it would be plenty for myself. Of course the 4080 would be a little better, but diminishing returns.

    Good luck. Let us know what you end up with.

    edit: If you’re lucky enough to live near a microcenter, I’d highly recommend their powerspec house built PC’s. They’re priced really well, high end components, and the builds are clean.
