Getting Started & Setup

Hello everyone
I’m about to get a new PC to begin serious business in Unreal Engine for game development and I’m considering a build with:

CPU i7 12700 KF

Asus 4070

32gb of DDR4 RAM

2 To SSD

The person I asked to make the build told me that the i7 12700 KF is a specific type of CPU that doesn’t have an integrated GPU but is able to overclock. I considered it to be pretty good for the usage I intend to have in Unreal Engine but can you tell me if the absence of integrated GPU with the CPU could be an issue for UE5? I know that if the GPU goes down, the PC won’t be able to be used btw.

Also, I prefered DDR4 RAM over DDR5 because of the price and from what I understood, it’s making a huge difference in performances. Is that true ?

Also, if you see anything wrong with that PC buid, feel free to tell me but I think that it meets the current minimal standards to work properly in Unreal Engine from what I read.

Thanks a lot everyone!
