Core i7-13700K + Arc A750: bottleneck check
GPU-limited at 1440p. GPU-bound (normal).
The Arc A750 is the part working hardest at 1440p, which is what you want. The Core i7-13700K keeps about 35% in reserve.
By resolution
| Resolution | Limiting part | Severity | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | GPU | 29% | GPU-bound (normal) |
| 1440p | GPU | 35% | GPU-bound (normal) |
| 4K | GPU | 50% | CPU overkill |
The Arc A750 is the limit at every resolution and by a wide margin at 4K (50%). The Core i7-13700K is overkill for this card: a faster GPU would give you far more frames than any CPU change.

Power supply
The Arc A750 measured 203 W average while gaming (255 W highest 20 ms spike, TechPowerUp). With the Core i7-13700K at its maximum turbo power of 253 W and about 75 W for the rest of the system, the sustained load is about 531 W. A 750 W unit is the safe choice.
