Yes — the Intel i9-14900K / RTX 5080 build is GamerTech's strongest pick for buyers who game and stream or create content simultaneously. It's best for 4K gaming alongside encoding, recording, or professional software running at the same time. Its biggest advantage is 24 CPU cores handling background workloads while the RTX 5080 handles the game itself. It's priced at $5,999.99 CAD.

The i9-14900K brings 24 cores (8 Performance + 16 Efficiency) and Hyper-Threading — this is the specific reason it's well-suited to gaming and streaming together: the Efficiency cores can absorb encoding, recording, and background application load without stealing cycles from the Performance cores running the game. The RTX 5080 delivers 16GB of GDDR7 and DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation, enough for demanding 4K gaming on its own, and its NVENC encoder can additionally offload video encoding from the CPU entirely if preferred. The NZXT Kraken Elite 360mm AIO includes a built-in LCD display on the pump head, capable of showing system stats or custom images. 32GB of RAM is a reasonable baseline for this workload, though heavy simultaneous streaming, gaming, and professional software could benefit from more.
Real-World Use Cases
- 4K gaming at 80–100fps in current demanding titles
- Simultaneous streaming — recording, encoding, and gaming without CPU contention
- Content creation (DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Blender) alongside gaming
- Not recommended for buyers who exclusively game and won't use the extra multitasking headroom
Performance Expectations
Intel and NVIDIA's published specifications confirm the i9-14900K's 24-core configuration and the RTX 5080's 16GB GDDR7 / DLSS 4 support (manufacturer spec). GamerTech's own product page states an expectation of 4K gaming at 80–100fps for this build — this is GamerTech's stated expectation, not an independently measured benchmark result, and should be treated as such until internal testing is published.
Why This PC Offers Good Value
At $5,999.99 CAD, the dual-purpose value case rests on not needing two separate machines (a gaming PC and a separate streaming/workstation PC) — the 24-core CPU is genuinely capable of handling both roles at once. GamerTech has not published a dated comparison against the cost of two separate systems performing the same combined role.
How It Compares
| This PC | Ryzen 7 9800X3D/RTX 5070 Ti (less) | Core Ultra 9 285K/RTX 5080, 96GB (similar) | i9-14900K/RTX 5090 (more) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $5,999.99 | $4,199.99 | $6,399.99 | $9,499.99 |
| CPU cores | 24 (8P+16E) | 8 (3D V-Cache) | 24 (8P+16E) | 24 (8P+16E) |
| RAM | 32GB DDR5 | 32GB DDR5 | 96GB DDR5 | 32GB DDR5 |
| Best for | 4K gaming + streaming | Fastest gaming CPU only | Heavy multitasking/VMs + gaming | Uncapped 4K, higher-end GPU |
Buyers who only game and don't need multitasking headroom should consider the Ryzen 7 9800X3D / RTX 5070 Ti instead — better gaming-specific value. Buyers needing even more RAM for heavy background workloads should look at the Core Ultra 9 285K / RTX 5080 build with 96GB. Buyers wanting more GPU headroom for 4K should step up to the RTX 5090 tier.
Advantages & Disadvantages
- 24-core CPU purpose-built for gaming + streaming/creation simultaneously
- NZXT Kraken Elite LCD AIO adds a functional display
- 10-fan case for strong sustained airflow
- RTX 5080 has real 4K gaming headroom on its own
- PSU and motherboard model not disclosed on the product page
- 32GB RAM may be a limiting factor for the heaviest simultaneous workloads
- Intel platform, for buyers who specifically prefer AMD
- A substantial price step up from the mid-tier builds
Who Should Buy It?
Streamers, content creators, and buyers who regularly run demanding background software while gaming, and who want one system to handle both roles without compromise.
Who Should Not Buy It?
Buyers who exclusively game without streaming or multitasking should consider the Ryzen 7 9800X3D / RTX 5070 Ti instead — similar gaming performance at a meaningfully lower price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PC really game and stream at the same time?
Yes — the i9-14900K's 24 cores, plus the RTX 5080's NVENC encoder, are specifically suited to running a game and encoding a stream simultaneously without one impacting the other.
What frame rates can I expect at 4K?
GamerTech's product page states an expectation of 80–100fps at 4K in demanding titles — this is a stated expectation, not an independently measured benchmark.
What PSU does this build use?
Not listed on the current product page — contact GamerTech directly to confirm before purchase.
Is 32GB of RAM enough for streaming and gaming together?
For most streamers, yes — very heavy simultaneous workloads (multiple encodes, large editing projects) may benefit from more.
Does Windows come installed?
Yes, Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed and activated.
Does it ship across Canada?
Yes, free shipping Canada-wide, with same-day pickup or shipping from Vaughan, ON for orders before 4 PM.
