On request, I can build a complete PC around this platform according to your budget and requirements. Additional components are charged at purchase cost. I can also simply apply fresh thermal paste if required, assemble and configure the system, install Windows 11 despite the i7-4790K not being officially supported by Microsoft, and provide a valid Windows licence if required.

This platform remains perfectly capable for everyday use and 1080p or 1440p gaming with an appropriate graphics card.

For gaming, an RTX 3070 / RX 6800 class GPU is a very good upper-end pairing. An RTX 3080 / RX 6800 XT or RX 6900 XT can also be used, particularly for 1440p Ultra or 4K, although the i7-4790K will increasingly become the limiting factor at high frame rates, especially at 1080p.

16 GB of RAM remains sufficient for many games and normal use, although 32 GB is preferable for demanding modern titles and heavy multitasking.

For office work, multimedia and general everyday use, the platform still provides very good performance. Its main limitation today is platform compatibility rather than raw performance. The i7-4790K is not officially supported by Windows 11, and some recent games and software impose newer security and CPU requirements. For example, Battlefield 6 officially requires TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and a newer supported CPU.
