Forge PC builds custom Intel gaming computers powered by the latest Intel Core i5, i7, and i9 processors. Combined with NVIDIA RTX graphics, our Intel builds deliver consistently excellent gaming performance across all resolutions.
Intel Core processors have long been a favourite for gaming builds thanks to their strong single-threaded performance and excellent compatibility with a wide range of motherboards and memory configurations. The Core i5-14600K remains one of the best gaming CPUs available in 2026 for its price.
For content creators who also game, Intel's Quick Sync hardware video encoder is a significant advantage. It allows for high-quality, low-CPU-overhead video encoding and streaming, freeing up more processor cores for your game.
Configure any of these builds from scratch using our step-by-step PC builder.
Absolutely. Intel's 14th Gen Core processors deliver excellent single-core performance which is important for many gaming titles. The Core i5-14600K and i7-14700K remain highly competitive choices for gaming builds.
The Intel Core i5-14600K offers outstanding value for 1080p and 1440p gaming. For maximum performance, the Core i7-14700K or i9-14900K pair excellently with high-end GPUs like the RTX 4080 or 4090.
Intel's LGA1700 platform supports 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen processors. While Intel has moved to a new platform, LGA1700 boards can still be upgraded to higher-tier 14th Gen CPUs, giving existing platform owners options.
Intel's current generation CPUs tend to perform slightly better in single-threaded workloads, which benefits some games. Intel also integrates excellent Quick Sync video encoding, which is valuable for streamers.
Yes. All our Intel 12th Gen+ builds default to DDR5 for maximum memory bandwidth and future upgradability, though DDR4 options are available where they offer better value.
