Corsair iCUE Build it Beautiful Intel

Corsair i7-14700KF RTX 5070 Gaming PC – Built in the UK

The Corsair iCUE Build it Beautiful Intel is a high-performance 1440p gaming PC for players who want an ARGB-lit tempered glass build with 20-core Intel processing power and 12GB of GDDR7 graphics.

This Corsair i7-14700KF RTX 5070 gaming PC is built around a Corsair 3500X ARGB Black mid tower with a dual-opening tempered glass front and side, so the Kingston Fury Beast RGB memory, the ARGB fans and the 240mm liquid cooler are on show. Inside, an Intel Core i7-14700KF sits on a Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX motherboard, with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 handling the graphics. It is built to order and tested in the UK, and every part can be changed in the configurator before you buy.

The Corsair iCUE Build it Beautiful Intel is built on an Intel Core i7-14700KF with 20 cores and 28 threads, a Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX ATX motherboard, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 with 12GB of GDDR7, 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory, a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD and a 2TB hard drive. It is cooled by a Corsair NAUTILUS 240 RS ARGB 240mm AIO and powered by a Corsair RM750e 750W 80 Plus Gold PSU. It ships with Microsoft Windows 11 Home (genuine, pre-installed) and a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Intel Core i7-14700KF processor: 20 cores and 28 threads

The Intel Core i7-14700KF has 20 cores, made up of 8 performance cores and 12 efficient cores, running 28 threads. The performance cores have a base clock of 3.4GHz and a maximum turbo of 5.6GHz, backed by 33MB of L3 cache. That high single-core speed suits games, which still lean heavily on a few fast threads. The extra cores give you room to stream, record or run background applications while you play. The KF suffix means the processor has an unlocked multiplier and no integrated graphics, so a dedicated graphics card is required. This build includes one, and all monitors connect to it. The Intel Z790 chipset is the natural partner for an unlocked processor, and the Corsair NAUTILUS 240 RS ARGB 240mm liquid cooler keeps it cool under sustained load.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB graphics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 has 6144 cores and 12GB of GDDR7 memory, with a rated power of 250W. It is aimed at 1440p gaming at high settings, which is where most players with a modern monitor will want to be. The card provides 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 x HDMI 2.1b outputs, enough for up to four monitors, although the exact port layout may vary by card brand. If you want more headroom for demanding titles or higher resolutions, a faster graphics card can be selected in the configurator.

32GB DDR5 memory, NVMe SSD and a 2TB hard drive

The memory is a 32GB Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL36 kit, fitted as two 16GB modules in dual channel. The motherboard has four DIMM slots and supports up to 256GB, so two slots are left free for later upgrades. The primary drive is a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD rated at 7100MB/s read and 6700MB/s write, which holds Windows, your applications and your most-played games. A 2TB Seagate BarraCuda 3.5in SATA hard drive (7200rpm) sits alongside it for the bulk of a game library, recordings and project files. Three further M.2 slots, all PCIe 4.0 x4, and five free SATA ports leave plenty of room to grow.

Corsair 3500X ARGB case, 240mm AIO and 750W power

The Corsair 3500X ARGB Black is a mid tower with tempered glass panels, measuring 460mm deep, 240mm wide and 506mm high. Three 120mm RS120 ARGB fans are pre-installed, and the Corsair NAUTILUS 240 RS ARGB has a 240mm radiator, so airflow and lighting come from a matched set of Corsair parts. The case has mounts for two 3.5″ and two 2.5″ drives, so the 2TB hard drive and any extra storage fit without fuss. Power comes from a Corsair RM750e, a 750W 80 Plus Gold fully modular ATX 3.1 unit. The modular cabling keeps the interior tidy behind the glass.

Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5GbE and a full set of USB ports

The Gigabyte Z790 GAMING X AX has built-in Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, plus a 2.5GbE Realtek wired LAN port for a fast, stable connection to your router. Audio is 7.1-channel High Definition Audio with S/PDIF. The rear panel provides 1 x Type-C 20Gbps, 2 x Type-A 10Gbps, 3 x Type-A 5Gbps and 4 x USB 2.0 ports. At the front of the case you get 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A and a headphone/microphone combo jack. There is room for a headset, controllers, a keyboard, a mouse and external drives without a hub.

What is the Corsair iCUE Build it Beautiful Intel best for?

The Corsair iCUE Build it Beautiful Intel is primarily a 1440p gaming PC with enough processor power to stream or multitask at the same time. The RTX 5070 targets high settings at 1440p, and the 20-core Intel Core i7-14700KF keeps up with CPU-heavy games and background tasks.

At 1440p it suits demanding single-player titles such as Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy and Baldur’s Gate 3. It also suits competitive and multiplayer games including Fortnite, Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals and Helldivers 2. For streaming and light content creation, OBS Studio and video editing work well on the 20-core processor, with the NVMe SSD for active projects and the 2TB drive for archives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Corsair iCUE Build it Beautiful Intel run Cyberpunk 2077 and other demanding games at 1440p?

Yes, the RTX 5070 12GB is aimed at 1440p gaming at high settings. That covers Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy and Baldur’s Gate 3. Esports and multiplayer games such as Fortnite, Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Apex Legends, Marvel Rivals and Helldivers 2 run comfortably. Native 4K at maximum settings is better suited to a higher graphics card.

Which port do I plug my monitor into?

Plug it into the graphics card, not the motherboard. The Intel Core i7-14700KF has no integrated graphics, so the motherboard’s video outputs are not active. The RTX 5070 provides 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 x HDMI 2.1b, which supports up to four monitors, though the exact port layout may vary by card brand.

Can I add more storage or memory later?

Yes. The motherboard has three free M.2 slots, all PCIe 4.0 x4, and five free SATA ports, and the case has mounts for two 3.5″ and two 2.5″ drives. It also has four DIMM slots with two in use and supports up to 256GB of memory, so a memory upgrade does not mean replacing the existing kit.

Does it have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in?

Yes, the motherboard has built-in Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. It also has a 2.5GbE Realtek LAN port for a wired connection, which is the better choice for online gaming and large downloads if your router is nearby.

Who is this PC best suited for?

If you need 4K at maximum settings, choose a higher graphics card in the configurator.

Does it come with Windows, a keyboard and a mouse?
