**Building with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and ASRock X670E Taichi Motherboard**
Remember to take the black plastic protector off before starting your build process. The process is straightforward, but it's essential to follow each step carefully to avoid any potential damage or issues.
Next, we need to power on our system. This involves connecting the power cord to the motherboard and the power supply unit (PSU). I've chosen a Coolermaster V850 Gold ATX PSU with a 3 PCI Gen 5 power connector, which will make managing my system easy and convenient. The gold accents may not fit perfectly with the build's theme, but they'll be hidden away, making it an affordable option.
As we continue with the build, I want to add some RGB fans to accentuate our system's design. I've chosen white Corsair QL fans that will go behind the GPU, adding a nice touch of color and visual appeal to the overall build. Finally, let's pop in the motherboard stand-offs and secure everything in place.
**Cockpit of Our System**
Now that we have all the necessary components installed, let's take a look at our system's performance. First, I'll run some synthetic CPU benchmarks to get an idea of how well our Ryzen 7 7700X will perform.
In Cinebench R23, our system achieved a multicore score of 24743, which is higher than the Ryzen 7 5700X from last generation but not significantly so. The result was similar in Cinebench R23 Single Thread 2, with our system beating out the Ryzen 7 5700X and other competitors by tiny margins.
Next up, we have 3D Mark CPU Profile, where our system impressively beat out chips like the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and the Intel Core i5-13600K from last generation. However, these results may not be particularly exciting, as they're relatively close to what we'd expect from a mid-to-high-end CPU.
Finally, let's run some synthetic benchmarks with 3D Mark Times by Extreme. Our system achieved an impressive score of 8000, which is up about 200 points from the Ryzen 7 5700X.
**Gaming Performance**
Now that we have our system fully built and tested, it's time to put it through its paces in some popular games. I'll start with Starfield at 1440p High, where our system pulled in an impressive 87 FPS. This is not bad considering how difficult this game can be to run.
Next up, I have Hogwarts Legacy at 1440p High, which performed similarly well. Our system achieved a strong average of 112 FPS with consistent results throughout the game.
Moving on to Warzone 2 at 1440p High with DLSS set to Quality, our system delivered an impressive 146 FPS. This is a significant improvement over the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and other competitors in this segment.
In Fortnite at 1080p Competitive, we achieved a respectable 295 FPS, which is barely playable but shows that our system can handle high refresh rates without issues.
Apex Legends at 1440p High delivered an average of 200 FPS on average, with no complaints about the performance or frame rate. Finally, I have F1 2023 at 1440p Ultra High Settings, where our system delivered a smooth 172 FPS on average.
**Conclusion**
While the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is not particularly different from its predecessor, it's still a solid CPU that can deliver good performance in most applications. Our build with the ASRock X670E Taichi motherboard, 47 Ti GPU, and other components has proven to be a capable and powerful system that can handle demanding tasks like gaming and content creation.
