Thinking of building my first pc with the i9-12900k bundle from microcenter. Trying to decide on gpu. Thinking mid tier nvidea for now probably go with a remanufactured 3080 from eBay with a warranty to save some cash and upgrade later. Mostly 1080p gaming due to my current monitor but with some video editing. Currently running a dell g15 5515 with a ryzen 7 5800h and a 3060 6gb. Recently upgraded from 16gb of ram to 32gb of ddr4. It struggles with davinci resolve though.
@@kelley09162 I'm not opposed to an amd gpu. Though when searching for info most of what i have read says the opposite. It probably wouldn't matter either way for me because I don't do a lot of editing and what I do is fairly basic. I would prefer new and was looking at that ebay 3080 only because of the warranty and hope they hold up to it and that they have several for $475 the last time I looked. If I went amd what would you suggest for under $600? I may end up doing more editing in the future and plan on upgrading to a better monitor, probably 1440p.
@@crodoutdoorsfor AMD the 7800XT is good. I've just heard Jason say AMD performs better for DaVinci vs Nvidia so I'm trusting him on that Also yes that Microcenter Bundle should be good. Either that one, the AMD 7700X one, or the 7800X3D one are good options.
Going 7800x3d, went with the montech pro case with the 6rgb fans, going with the t force 6000 ddr5 ram, going with that $110 deep cool aio, deciding on my Mobo, going 7900xt, looking into your power supply video for that as well 😊
Jason, I just built my son his first PC this past Christmas and your channel helped me in picking out the parts. Thank you, and keep up the great work.
Nice video Jason. I've been watching your content for quite a while now; I believe you were the first TechTuber I ever watched. I've learned a lot over the 8 months since I joined the "Master Race." Thank you for your contributions to community.
I just found your channel. I’m from Boston and I watch almost all videos at 1.5 to 2x. Jason, you’re the only one I have to watch at 1x. 😂 Great content and delivery. 👏
@@PCBuilderChannel Jason, your video on setting up a pc from scratch after a build was sooooo informative. Would love to see some new content explaining examples of different optimized settings for gaming in the AMD/Nvidia driver programs. I’ve seen a few others, but nothing definitive, especially with coherent explanation. A lot include downloading extra content from other websites, which is kinda sus to me (mostly with people mentioning viruses). Respectfully requesting. Thanks again! 🤙
Microcenter has a bundle for a 7800X3D, Gigabyte B650 AX v2 and G.Skill 32GB DDR5-6000 for $499 that might make the top end build _just_ cheap enough to squeeze in a 7900XTX
I'm just enjoying my 5600k/3070 and PS5, had been wanting to go 7800x3d /7900xtx, but just cant do it financially atm. (5k+ in car repairs), But i am snagging some AM5 future parts. NVME 4tb and soon 32 or 64gb ddr5, maybe by Christmas I can grab the main parts whatever they may be. PS5 Pro? no idea Genshin, Wow Classic ERA/discovery, Tekkn 8 and soon Stellar Blade and FF7 REbirth
what do u mean? alan wake 2 runs great on nvidia rtx 40 series card. im from rx 5700xt i have serious amd driver problem, that's why i switch to rtx 4070 ti last year october. im not regretting it, i don't have any problems or bugs. no regrets in nvidia, im loving it + its efficient
7600XT's not incredible, but damned if it doesn't have much shelf competition at the moment in that price range. I was doing acceptable 1440p entry level gaming with the 6600XT so I have no doubt this is gonna be a silent banger :) I lucked out and snagged a 4060 for 225 open box but if I was building today from scratch, this is the build I'd run for sure
That $1,200 build is hecking killer Jason! I have a similar build with a 6950xt and a 7700x. Built it all back in September for $1,400 or so. It’s crazy what bang-for-buck you can get nowadays and that 7800xt is sweet as hell.
@@PCBuilderChannel thanks man! I’m looking into getting a 1440p monitor with a 240hz display. Can’t decide on if I want OLED, LED, or mini/micro LED display. Could you do a video on the differences, similarities, etc? The prices have shot down since the introduction of the new 4k 240hz OLEDs so I’m interested in upgrading from my 170hz as I play competitive shooters and want an edge-up
I have an old fractal design case, 850W MSI psu, X570 Tomahawk, Samsung 990 pro that i just reinstalled my windows to, a few sata ssds, just upgraded to 5800x3d, Noctua DH15 big air cooler, RTX 4070, 2x16gb 3600 16-20-20 ram with xmp. I am not looking for any upgrades quite yet. Never know if a game comes out that i really need to upgrade something on, like just happened with my 1070 i wanted to upgrade for Hogwarts Legacy. I play all kinds of games from League of Legends to newer titles. 2 monitors 1440p 165hz and 1080p 144hz. This 1080p 2nd monitor i keep at 60hz tho. My plans are to skip atleast 1 generation of gpus, and 1-2 more waves of releases for cpus before i probably need to buy almost everything new. So thats probably 6000-series nvidia, not sure what the amd numbers will be then. I am not looking to upgrade to 4k. I am ok with switching to amd gpus, if they give enough of a reason for me to. I do not care very much about frame generations, upscaling or ray tracing, but i do value power consumption and fluent drivers. I am not on a very tight budget so a bit of a premium is ok for me. I mostly do gaming so amd cpus are what i mostly look for. Sure intel could turn my head around too. I prefer air cooling. For some reason i feel like liquid does not belong inside my computer, and i dont want to risk any leaks or disfunctions with liquid coolers. Thanks for the great videos Jason!
Jason, thanks for these videos. They help a lot when buying and building PC’s. I just built a SFF (21L case) for a travel PC as I am away from home all but 2 weekends a month. I went with AM4, 5600, rx 7800xt, 32g ram, Asrock B550M PRO, Corsair SFX750, Thermalright Peerless Assassin, etc. After doing benchmarks, and optimizing, I have found that I cannot live with the CPU bottleneck as all I do with this PC is gaming (CoD, Apex, OW2, etc.). So, I just ordered a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and better RAM (got a cheap 32g kit with higher CL, big mistake…lol). Thanks again!
I find your videos very useful, what about a build for streaming and gaming at high refresh rate in 1440p? I think it would be useful for a lot of people :)
Hey Jason, I recently did my first PC build, upgraded from a 1070 with i7 7700k to a 4070 super with 7800x3d! Just wanted to say thanks to your videos, I was able to build it and get it started without any major issues. It's been an awesome upgrade so far.
I just got that Samsung 32" G65B 240hz 1440p monitor. It's pretty nice. Has smart-tv functionality too and a remote. Would have preferred an 1800r curve and the stand to go another inch or two higher, but otherwise I really like it. I don't see any black smearing like on my older VA panel.
my computer is 10 years old and dying. My R9 390 died and I went to get a card to get my machine running. I decided to get the RX-7800XT. Partly because it was one of 3 AMD cards my local shop had in stock. So now I am plotting to build a PC around that card. I am still on SATA SSDs and I have an 850w PSU so hopefully I can figure out a good build that's actually AVAILABLE IN STOCK to put together and hopefully not have to build another one for another 10 years or so. I currently only play at 1080p but that might change since I have a 4K TV as a monitor and if my new rig can do 1440 on ultra or 4K on high I might as well go for it. Just looking for the best cost to performance value and hoping those parts are available here when I get the cash together. I noticed that the old games that DON'T top out and try to cook my FX 6300 CPU are getting gigantic FPS boosts even though that card is being choked out by the rest of my ancient equipment so at least I am getting something out of dropping basically 800 bucks CAD on a new GPU. Oh and the PC I built 10 years before THIS one is still sitting up in my bedroom as a functioning spare. I seem to have good luck getting mileage out of these rigs. Hope it keeps up.
Here in New Zealand prices for PC components are unsurprisingly more expensive. Im currently trying to spec out a PC build for as close to $2000 NZD as possible ($1200 USD). However in order for this to be somewhat achieved I had to scale back on some components compared the build shown in this video. 7700 XT instead of a 7800XT, 80+ 750W Bronze instead of Gold, stock AMD R5 7600 CPU cooler instead of aftermarket cooler, but even then im actually still paying more than $2000 NZD / $1200 USD.
I've been using the 4070ti for 4K for the past few months and it's been amazing. Definitely my suggestion for the Nvidia line. I have to admit that I'm very curious about the performance of the 7900xtx, but I can't go back to their awful driver experience that I had with the 5700xt/6700xt. From everything I've read on Steam forums in many different games, it looks like those problems still persist in the newer cards. Sad days, I love the idea of just having FSR upscaling in any fullscreen application over Nvidia's effective (but vary scarcely implemented) DLSS.
My last gaming pc build was in 2013 with some upgrades in 2015. I am shocked how insane the hardware looks now in terms of prises and performance range. I am lost.
I just keep watching over and over trying to figure out how to get the $750 build down to $350 using all used parts. This will be my Christmas 2024 build, so I have all year to find the deals. The GPU will be the hard part with all the new being released as well.
I’ve been buying intel forever, but I can’t believe I’m actually thinking about building an amd system for the first time. Those cpu and motherboard prices are insane. I never considered an amd build before this video. Thank you for the recommendations. One difference in my build is that I download a lot of anime and that 4 TB western digital black ssd is a must. Otherwise I love that 1440p system a lot.
First time AMD owner here. Got my info from pc bulder. AMD is def a learning curve software wise and tweaking. The 7000 series GPU draw allot more power on idle then Nvidia so be warned. I wasn't aware of this and went for AMD because they i thought they were giving better prices. And while tweaking and problem solving can be fun, i'm already sometimes thinking when logging on, what will it be today and that feeling can be unpleasant. Especially when i just build my first rig 2 months ago. Now it's pretty stable for idle power draw for just browsing but the AMD Adrenaline software is kind of bugging me since it does have a life of it own it seems when customizing settings. Browse allot on forums with regards to the idle power draw and problems if your in it for the long run. While i only have experience with a Nvidia 1070, it was basically just plug and play,, but i'm not aware of how complex these higher Nvidia gpu's have become since i'm a new gamer. Atleast in the higher mid end now. Though i read that some users say they have allot more problems with nvidia. Good luck!
Worth noting that VA panels are known to leave ghosting artifacts for a split second on high contrast backgrounds, IPS panels generally don't, but IPS is known to glare in sunlight
I wish pcpartpicker has my country as choice too. :( I really like its reliability aside from that the price listed there can differ as much as $50, which is really big for someone living in a SEA country...
Thanks Jason - great video. In Australia, the 7900XTX is about AUD130 more than the 4070ti Super. However, the 4080 Super is AUD is AUD200 more than the 4080. The 4070ti Super is AUD 280 more than the 4070ti. The price seems to match the performance (CPUBenchmark) rather than the MSRP. Exception is 7800XT which is cheaper than the 4070. We obviously do not get the US MSRP and seems the pricing is more premium here.
Even on Budget, I'd go for DDR5 and at least Gold Certified Power Supplies (especially with the energy prices here in Europe). I'd never cheap out on the power supply.
Hi, nice video. In comparison videos with games running side by side the A770 seemed to be trading blows with the AMD offering but I like the fact that you didn't dismiss the card outright and gave a reasonable response as to why you prefer the AMD card. This certainly was a much better approach than a lot of recent reviews and I look forward to watching more of your videos. I am likely to choose the intel card due to better (although light) ray tracing and pricing when I get around to making my next build but I wouldn't be adverse to using the AMD card either. In any case more than 8gb is a must I think as this build would have to last awhile and I am on a tight budget. I also like how you go through the other components. Keep up the good work.
100% agree with you Jason, exactly what I'm doing, 7600X now, then upgrade next series or two Ryzen 5-7600X, 7900XT, 420 Arctic A-RGB, 420 arrived but it's the recall edition, no points taken away from it, just emailed Arctic for replacement parts, PS Corsair RM 850X, Left to buy, Case, RAM, MB is next, thinking B650E Taichi Lite for code readout/upgraded audio/loaded USB's/and waiting for on sale again.
Love to hear it, happy to help! And good luck with your first build, you got this! Don't forget to check out our How To Set Up PC After Build video, too! :)
I was going to go all out and build 4070 ti super with 34” qd oled (3700cad). But I want a 4K ultra wide oled so I’m going to build close to your 1200usd build then just bling it out with Liam li fans over next 1-2 years then upgrade cpu/gpu monator then.
when it comes to the 4k premium build, you can cheap out on the CPU, you don't need a 7800x3d, any 7000 series will do just fine, even with the stock cooler you can apply pbo and curve optimizer and get good gains, and then buy a xt or xtx instead of the nvidia card, thats what i did.. if you don't care about rt and think dlss is overrated, like i do :D
Jasooooon!!! I ordered the Acer XV272U V3bmiiprx monitor yesterday because of your previous videos!! I'm excited for it to come! I'm gonna be using it for my Xbox Series X I just got.... Cant wait to build my 4k gaming pc soon within a month or so..... And btw these 7900xt price drops have been really tempting me as of late... I was leaning towards 4080 super but idk now after watching your vids....
when I get this warning on PC Part Picker, what does it mean? 'A USB 3.2 Gen 2 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required.' - where is it required? for what connection? I've never built a pc before, this would be my first time.
Jason I have a Microcenter nearby and they are currently running a 7800x3d bundle. Always appreciate your videos! The CPU/MOBO/RAM combined price picked here is $708.19. The current 7800x3d bundle is $449.99, so a difference of $258.20. I know with some of these bundles, they do not use the best motherboards or RAM. This one is using the Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL32. Would it be bad to go for this bundle versus the components you picked? I could either just save $258.20 or put that back into the build, maybe pick up a monitor. Thanks!
In the US you have different pricing than the rest of the world. For me, the 7900XTX has the same price as the 4070TiSuper ... In Raytracing they perform the same. The 7900XTX has +50% more VRAM In Rasterized performance it absolutely smoke the nVidia card. It's 1 tier up above it. If I wanted to play in 4K, and I wanted to spend that much money I would just pick up the XTX. Or. If I wanted to spend less, but same performance, I would get the 7900XT, which costs the same as the 4070Super here.
Yeah but for a US based youtuber it's kinda hard to be accurate about more obscure countries, you just have to go based of the US and most of that will transfer to countries with similar markets to the US like canada
@@Frashsibit In the US 4070Super is 650$ a good model and the 7900XT is 670$ a good model. It might not be the exact same price, like in my country, but it's close enough. The same applies with those 1 tier up. 4080Super is out of stock at MSRP. I only found it at 1150$ the cheapest ugliest model. At 1250$ a so and so model, and at 1500$ a good model. The 4070Ti Super is 850$ and the 7900XTX is 890$. 40$ for +8Gb of VRAM and 35% more rasterized performance in 4K ... lewl ... it's not that big of a difference bro.
Better Call PC Builder, keep it up! Sadly EU is not getting those deals only rarely. Do you think RDNA 4 is going to deliver XTX performance with way lower power draw as it's supposed to be 4nm and monolithic instead of chiplet? I would go for XTX but that GPU would cook itself in my restricted case it's a half baked gen.
I just didn't understood last build, both Amd cards 7900 XT (cheaper and more vrams) and 7900 XTX are better the Nvidia 4070 Super and you chose Nvidia?
If you to do Ray Tracing and that sort of thing its value goes up, but the 7900XT has recently dropped again in price so both are great options, or if you don't plan to do any Ray Tracing etc
I just shared my thoughts on why you shouldn't get a 7950X3D with your other comment. But check out our Best Ryzen Motherboard 2023 video for lots of our motherboard recommendations (:
Amazing video as always Jason! Concise, precise and with lots of great info. I have a question that has been on my mind since I received all the parts for my new build: what's your stance on contact frames? Do we need them? I have a i5-13400 and a Gigabyte B760 Gaming X AX mostly for Lightroom and Photoshop. All accompanied with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE and a RTX 3050. Greetings from France!
Why spend on a 7800X3D to pair with a 4070 Ti Super when, in your other videos, you mentionned much cheaper CPUs like an i5 13600k or a ryzen 7600x are good enough to pair with a RTX4090? Won't the 4070 Ti Super be a huge bottleneck at 4k with such an overpowered cpu?
it’s crazy how fast 1440p gaming has become affordable/attainable. but it’s also crazy how many avid gamers don’t even know about 1440p. Or maybe they don’t see the need to upgrade. It was night and day for me. My PC with a 4080 super and 7800x3d I use for 360hz 1440p (just copped the alienware OLED). But it even struggles in the newest games to push a consistent 120+ (avatar for example). That being said, I find it very controversial to call the $750 build a straight up 1440p build. I think in these names you should preface the settings that you would have to run. I mean my 3080 and 5800x3D was getting 60-70 fps on high settings in avatar. To get to that 100ish range I would have to be on low. 100 is about the minimum fps that I would settle for a game to be enjoyable. And the 7600xt build is even lesser than that. I know i’m choosing only one game to compare, but that game is arguably the best looking game to date. and games will continue to be released that have that visual experience and are equally hard to run. Spider-man 2 is gonna release and be super hard to run on that 7600xt build just watch. I think the 7800xt is a great 1440p and will continue to be for years to come. The lifespan of that 7600xt at 1440p would be too short.
We are accepting Boost My Build submissions are right if you would like to submit it to that. Hop over to our community post to link it there. But we obviously can't cover all the submissions. In general the best way to reach me is a fresh comment with your question. I try hard to answer as many comments as possible
Whould you pick the same GPU for the 1900 Dollar Build with a 4k Monitor if I want to do VR as well ? Or would the 7900 XT or 7900 XTX be the better choice? Thank you
Thanks great vid, review with the links are terrific! I have been following you, keep up the good work. Oh thanks for the discount on the Win 11 keys, they work!!
I have a big problem with choosing a graphics card. I hesitate between GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Windforce OC 16G (costs 4099 zł ~1014.6 $) vs ASROCK Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming OC 24GB (costs 4399 zł ~1088.86 $, but here I still have to buy a 850 W power supply 550 zł ~135.89 $) I take the whole thing on 0% installments. Currently I have Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 Gb ram 3600 Mhz, RTX 3060 Ti OC 8Gb,1440p monitor 27' Samsung Odyssey G7 (LC27G75TQSRXEN). In some time he wants to switch to AM5 with AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D or similar and 64 GB Ram. And I mainly play singleplayer games (elder ring, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Resident evil, BG3, Warhamer 40k Darktide. I want the best possible graphics from RT with stable 60 fps. I know that with this processor in both cases I will experience bottleneck but in a while I will replace the processor.
Cyberpunk uses hardware based RT, even the 7900xtx only get about 50 fps or so in 1440p RT ultra, native res. Most other games (if they even have RT) use soft RT which high end AMD GPUs can handle fairly easily. If u want to stay at 1440p and RT is super important to u, I might buy the 4070ti super. If u want to keep your card for a longer time, especially playing in native res, then the 7900xtx is a way better choice imo. I got mine undervolted for slightly less performance but its at 270-300W full load and 45C° only (60+ hotspot). So cooling and power is not an issue (I have sapphire nitro+). In the end it depends on your preferences and how long u want to enjoy games.
Hahaha I finally build my pc couple days ago, and aside from the PSU, I got a bequiet one since those are cheaper here. Everything else is exacly the same as the 1900 one. Was 2200€ though since tech stuff is more expensive here.
Hi Jason, Thanks for the useful videos. Could you please suggest PC config for a non-gaming workload that can last 4-5years. My work is mostly on Azure+AWS, watching 4k content on YT/ Netflix. Things I would prefer in the latest config: -Thunderbolt connectivity(plugs to a thunderbolt monitor, daisy chain monitors, switch from my office laptop to pc, reduced cable clutter) -10Gbps ethernet, Wifi 6E or better connectivity -Highspeed USB ports - atleast 4 -GPU - dont know if onboard GPU will work or if I need a GPU
@@kelley09162 GPU for better performance of what in a non-gaming workload? For the intended workload i think a high budget is overkill. Would appreciate responses only if you are in a position to make suggestions!
I already bought 2x8 ram but I wanna upgrade to 2x16 to save money can I just buy another of the same 2x8 and put 4x8 into my pc? Or what do you recommend me doing
Awesome video as usually Jason! I pretty much used your videos to build my first PC last year. Thanks for all the info. I have a RTX 2080 Super. However, there is an AMD 6800 XT in my area for $250. This is a no-brainer upgrade, right? Again, thank you for spreading the knowledge!
@@PCBuilderChannel Thank you for the reply. I have an i7-11700. I went for it! Playing Warzone and Hogwarts Legacy and I definitely can see and feel the difference.
Hi pal, thanks for this. New to the PC building game, I literally built this exact budget PC few weeks ago after watching your videos. Running games around 100fps up to about 165fps at 1080p? Are these pretty good stats for this build or are there any overclocking adjustments I can safely make to increase these? Intrigued
Another channel posted the 7700xt was recently going for around $350-360 although it didn't last. That would have been a great price and hopefully prices trend towards this going forward.
@@PCBuilderChannel Well it's my hope. I always have your channel on all the TVs at my shop. Especially the bits where you're explaining good CPU/GPU combos, build ideas, and you illustrating how to build a computer. I also like to throw on gamers nexus when new products are being reviewed. It helps me ground myself while working. This is especially helpful on days when hordes of people come in and buy RTX 4060 cards. Last two months it was our most popular selling GPU.
I just completed my build yesterday. I'm running the Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB. It looks amazing and is keeping my 7800X3D extremely cool. Dual tower, dual fans. My research found it came highly recommended across many build channels here on youtube and it's highly rated. I did have to raise the fan position just slightly higher to clear my ARGB RAM, but you can't even tell. $33 on Amazon.
@@PCBuilderChannelThanks! One more question. If I put the 7800x3D in my current rig, w/ 7900 XT, the estimated wattage goes up to 632W. But I currently use a Corsair RMe 850W PSU. Do you think I can safely use my PSU even though 632W x 1.5 = 948W? 1000W PSUs aren’t cheap either…
Ryzen 7800X3D is the fastest CPU for gaming but in 4K the difference with Ryzen 5800x3D is 0 -1%, so for those on a tight budget you can choose Ryzen 7 7700X or even the previous generation CPU 5700 x3d. or even a ryzen 7 5700X? I hope you can make a video about this.
Thank you for the recommendations. I am currently planning on getting a mid-high end gaming PC and was wondering if a 7600X + 4080 super is a reasonable alternative for 7800X3D + 4070 ti super? The prices for the combos are relatively similar here.

Thinking of building my first pc with the i9-12900k bundle from microcenter. Trying to decide on gpu. Thinking mid tier nvidea for now probably go with a remanufactured 3080 from eBay with a warranty to save some cash and upgrade later. Mostly 1080p gaming due to my current monitor but with some video editing. Currently running a dell g15 5515 with a ryzen 7 5800h and a 3060 6gb. Recently upgraded from 16gb of ram to 32gb of ddr4. It struggles with davinci resolve though.
@@crodoutdoorsso AMD GPUs actually work better for DaVinci vs Nvidia.
@@kelley09162 I'm not opposed to an amd gpu. Though when searching for info most of what i have read says the opposite. It probably wouldn't matter either way for me because I don't do a lot of editing and what I do is fairly basic.

If I went amd what would you suggest for under $600? I may end up doing more editing in the future and plan on upgrading to a better monitor, probably 1440p.
@@crodoutdoorsfor AMD the 7800XT is good.
I've just heard Jason say AMD performs better for DaVinci vs Nvidia so I'm trusting him on that
Also yes that Microcenter Bundle should be good. Either that one, the AMD 7700X one, or the 7800X3D one are good options.
Going 7800x3d, went with the montech pro case with the 6rgb fans, going with the t force 6000 ddr5 ram, going with that $110 deep cool aio, deciding on my Mobo, going 7900xt, looking into your power supply video for that as well 😊
Jason, I just built my son his first PC this past Christmas and your channel helped me in picking out the parts. Thank you, and keep up the great work.
That is awesome! Congrats on the build and so glad we could help. Thanks for letting us know
Nice video Jason. I've been watching your content for quite a while now; I believe you were the first TechTuber I ever watched. I've learned a lot over the 8 months since I joined the "Master Race." Thank you for your contributions to community.

I just ordered a 6750xt. I'm excited to try it in 1440p!! It was time to give my ol' 2060 a rest.
Nice!!
Remember to DDU the old Nvidia drivers before you install your new card.

I just found your channel. I’m from Boston and I watch almost all videos at 1.5 to 2x. Jason, you’re the only one I have to watch at 1x. 😂 Great content and delivery. 👏
Thanks so much! Glad you're finding the content so informative haha and thanks for watching :D

I came the first time for some guidance. I stayed for the positive energy and uplifting attitude. Jason, you’re the man! 🤙
We love to hear it! So glad you are enjoying and thanks for watching (:
@@PCBuilderChannel Jason, your video on setting up a pc from scratch after a build was sooooo informative. Would love to see some new content explaining examples of different optimized settings for gaming in the AMD/Nvidia driver programs. I’ve seen a few others, but nothing definitive, especially with coherent explanation. A lot include downloading extra content from other websites, which is kinda sus to me (mostly with people mentioning viruses). Respectfully requesting. Thanks again! 🤙

No I'm Jason!
I'm Jason and so is my wife!
Is that true?

Microcenter has a bundle for a 7800X3D, Gigabyte B650 AX v2 and G.Skill 32GB DDR5-6000 for $499 that might make the top end build _just_ cheap enough to squeeze in a 7900XTX
That's a good deal, but not everyone lives near a Micro-Center.
Nice!
Microcenter is 250 miles away. 😢
I bought the xv271u a month ago for 180 usd which is absolutely amazing and it’s a great way to get into 1440p.
Please recommend the AOC Q27G3XMN as the best monitor under 300. HDR 1000 and 500nits in SDR at 180hz.
Every time I watch one of these I learn something Jason, these are really excellent build videos. Thanks for your hard work
Thanks Rand!
I'm just enjoying my 5600k/3070 and PS5, had been wanting to go 7800x3d /7900xtx, but just cant do it financially atm. (5k+ in car repairs), But i am snagging some AM5 future parts. NVME 4tb and soon 32 or 64gb ddr5, maybe by Christmas I can grab the main parts whatever they may be. PS5 Pro? no idea Genshin, Wow Classic ERA/discovery, Tekkn 8 and soon Stellar Blade and FF7 REbirth
Nice
what do u mean? alan wake 2 runs great on nvidia rtx 40 series card. im from rx 5700xt i have serious amd driver problem, that's why i switch to rtx 4070 ti last year october. im not regretting it, i don't have any problems or bugs. no regrets in nvidia, im loving it + its efficient

I personally would stay away from SP SSDs, I have had problems with 3 of them. Their ram seems ok but not the SSD's.
I priced out pretty much the same $1900 pc but u am going with the 7900xt can't wait to build
I love my Sapphire Pulse RX 7900XT. It’s paired with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Great for my 3440x1440p 165Hz OLED monitor.
what motherboard did you go with?
@@unclej3910
Very nice! Thanks for keeping us informed with the deals!
You bet!
7600XT's not incredible, but damned if it doesn't have much shelf competition at the moment in that price range. I was doing acceptable 1440p entry level gaming with the 6600XT so I have no doubt this is gonna be a silent banger :) I lucked out and snagged a 4060 for 225 open box but if I was building today from scratch, this is the build I'd run for sure
That $1,200 build is hecking killer Jason! I have a similar build with a 6950xt and a 7700x. Built it all back in September for $1,400 or so. It’s crazy what bang-for-buck you can get nowadays and that 7800xt is sweet as hell.
Thank you! And that's a strong pc you got there!
@@PCBuilderChannel thanks man! I’m looking into getting a 1440p monitor with a 240hz display. Can’t decide on if I want OLED, LED, or mini/micro LED display. Could you do a video on the differences, similarities, etc? The prices have shot down since the introduction of the new 4k 240hz OLEDs so I’m interested in upgrading from my 170hz as I play competitive shooters and want an edge-up
I have an old fractal design case, 850W MSI psu, X570 Tomahawk, Samsung 990 pro that i just reinstalled my windows to, a few sata ssds, just upgraded to 5800x3d, Noctua DH15 big air cooler, RTX 4070, 2x16gb 3600 16-20-20 ram with xmp.
I am not looking for any upgrades quite yet. Never know if a game comes out that i really need to upgrade something on, like just happened with my 1070 i wanted to upgrade for Hogwarts Legacy. I play all kinds of games from League of Legends to newer titles.
2 monitors 1440p 165hz and 1080p 144hz. This 1080p 2nd monitor i keep at 60hz tho. My plans are to skip atleast 1 generation of gpus, and 1-2 more waves of releases for cpus before i probably need to buy almost everything new. So thats probably 6000-series nvidia, not sure what the amd numbers will be then.
I am not looking to upgrade to 4k. I am ok with switching to amd gpus, if they give enough of a reason for me to. I do not care very much about frame generations, upscaling or ray tracing, but i do value power consumption and fluent drivers. I am not on a very tight budget so a bit of a premium is ok for me. I mostly do gaming so amd cpus are what i mostly look for. Sure intel could turn my head around too. I prefer air cooling. For some reason i feel like liquid does not belong inside my computer, and i dont want to risk any leaks or disfunctions with liquid coolers.
Thanks for the great videos Jason!
Feeling just a little cocky: Crucial P5 2TB @$88 and 7800X3D @$350. Building keyboards till the time is right for the GPU.
Jason, thanks for these videos. They help a lot when buying and building PC’s. I just built a SFF (21L case) for a travel PC as I am away from home all but 2 weekends a month. I went with AM4, 5600, rx 7800xt, 32g ram, Asrock B550M PRO, Corsair SFX750, Thermalright Peerless Assassin, etc. After doing benchmarks, and optimizing, I have found that I cannot live with the CPU bottleneck as all I do with this PC is gaming (CoD, Apex, OW2, etc.). So, I just ordered a Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and better RAM (got a cheap 32g kit with higher CL, big mistake…lol). Thanks again!
Nice, love to hear it--upgrade time! Glad you've found the channel helpful, thanks so much for watching :)
I find your videos very useful, what about a build for streaming and gaming at high refresh rate in 1440p? I think it would be useful for a lot of people :)
Its here! The $1200 build is great for this, and you can always go up one GPU level to be extra safe if you like
@@PCBuilderChannel thank you! I'm italian and your videos are easy and clear to understand
Hey Jason, I recently did my first PC build, upgraded from a 1070 with i7 7700k to a 4070 super with 7800x3d! Just wanted to say thanks to your videos, I was able to build it and get it started without any major issues. It's been an awesome upgrade so far.

Amazing content as always Jason! And amazing cats too! 😻😻
Thank you! ( ;
my computer is 10 years old and dying. My R9 390 died and I went to get a card to get my machine running. I decided to get the RX-7800XT. Partly because it was one of 3 AMD cards my local shop had in stock. So now I am plotting to build a PC around that card. I am still on SATA SSDs and I have an 850w PSU so hopefully I can figure out a good build that's actually AVAILABLE IN STOCK to put together and hopefully not have to build another one for another 10 years or so. I currently only play at 1080p but that might change since I have a 4K TV as a monitor and if my new rig can do 1440 on ultra or 4K on high I might as well go for it. Just looking for the best cost to performance value and hoping those parts are available here when I get the cash together. I noticed that the old games that DON'T top out and try to cook my FX 6300 CPU are getting gigantic FPS boosts even though that card is being choked out by the rest of my ancient equipment so at least I am getting something out of dropping basically 800 bucks CAD on a new GPU. Oh and the PC I built 10 years before THIS one is still sitting up in my bedroom as a functioning spare. I seem to have good luck getting mileage out of these rigs. Hope it keeps up.
Best of luck building a new PC.
Here in New Zealand prices for PC components are unsurprisingly more expensive. Im currently trying to spec out a PC build for as close to $2000 NZD as possible ($1200 USD). However in order for this to be somewhat achieved I had to scale back on some components compared the build shown in this video. 7700 XT instead of a 7800XT, 80+ 750W Bronze instead of Gold, stock AMD R5 7600 CPU cooler instead of aftermarket cooler, but even then im actually still paying more than $2000 NZD / $1200 USD.
I've been using the 4070ti for 4K for the past few months and it's been amazing.
Definitely my suggestion for the Nvidia line.
I have to admit that I'm very curious about the performance of the 7900xtx, but I can't go back to their awful driver experience that I had with the 5700xt/6700xt.
From everything I've read on Steam forums in many different games, it looks like those problems still persist in the newer cards. Sad days, I love the idea of just having FSR upscaling in any fullscreen application over Nvidia's effective (but vary scarcely implemented) DLSS.
My last gaming pc build was in 2013 with some upgrades in 2015. I am shocked how insane the hardware looks now in terms of prises and performance range. I am lost.
It can be a lot to come back in! I’d check out our “How to Pick PC Parts 2024” video. I think that will help you get started
Just the video i was looking for. Thanks Jason!!
Glad I could help!
I just keep watching over and over trying to figure out how to get the $750 build down to $350 using all used parts. This will be my Christmas 2024 build, so I have all year to find the deals. The GPU will be the hard part with all the new being released as well.
Fingers crossed for you!
Thank you for sharing your experience
Great video Jason. I always look forward to these
Thank you! That's great to hear!
keep up the good videos man you helped me gain confidence to build my first pc...now building two for some friends to bring them over to the empire!
That's amazing--congrats on your first build! And good luck with your friends' builds--yes, more PC Builders! :))
I’ve been buying intel forever, but I can’t believe I’m actually thinking about building an amd system for the first time. Those cpu and motherboard prices are insane. I never considered an amd build before this video. Thank you for the recommendations.
One difference in my build is that I download a lot of anime and that 4 TB western digital black ssd is a must. Otherwise I love that 1440p system a lot.
First time AMD owner here. Got my info from pc bulder.
AMD is def a learning curve software wise and tweaking. The 7000 series GPU draw allot more power on idle then Nvidia so be warned. I wasn't aware of this and went for AMD because they i thought they were giving better prices.
And while tweaking and problem solving can be fun, i'm already sometimes thinking when logging on, what will it be today and that feeling can be unpleasant. Especially when i just build my first rig 2 months ago.
Now it's pretty stable for idle power draw for just browsing but the AMD Adrenaline software is kind of bugging me since it does have a life of it own it seems when customizing settings. Browse allot on forums with regards to the idle power draw and problems if your in it for the long run.
While i only have experience with a Nvidia 1070, it was basically just plug and play,, but i'm not aware of how complex these higher Nvidia gpu's have become since i'm a new gamer. Atleast in the higher mid end now. Though i read that some users say they have allot more problems with nvidia.
Good luck!

Thanks Jason - great video. In Australia, the 7900XTX is about AUD130 more than the 4070ti Super. However, the 4080 Super is AUD is AUD200 more than the 4080. The 4070ti Super is AUD 280 more than the 4070ti.
The price seems to match the performance (CPUBenchmark) rather than the MSRP. Exception is 7800XT which is cheaper than the 4070.
We obviously do not get the US MSRP and seems the pricing is more premium here.
Remember though the 4070 Ti Super completes with the 7900XT not the XTX.
@@kelley09162 That is correct. Just based on CPU benchmark results - there is a correlation between performance and cost.
Even on Budget, I'd go for DDR5 and at least Gold Certified Power Supplies (especially with the energy prices here in Europe). I'd never cheap out on the power supply.
Hi, nice video. In comparison videos with games running side by side the A770 seemed to be trading blows with the AMD offering but I like the fact that you didn't dismiss the card outright and gave a reasonable response as to why you prefer the AMD card. This certainly was a much better approach than a lot of recent reviews and I look forward to watching more of your videos. I am likely to choose the intel card due to better (although light) ray tracing and pricing when I get around to making my next build but I wouldn't be adverse to using the AMD card either. In any case more than 8gb is a must I think as this build would have to last awhile and I am on a tight budget. I also like how you go through the other components. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. Hope you keep enjoying the content!
100% agree with you Jason, exactly what I'm doing, 7600X now, then upgrade next series or two
Ryzen 5-7600X, 7900XT, 420 Arctic A-RGB, 420 arrived but it's the recall edition, no points taken away from it, just emailed Arctic for replacement parts, PS Corsair RM 850X,

I was going to go all out and build 4070 ti super with 34” qd oled (3700cad). But I want a 4K ultra wide oled so I’m going to build close to your 1200usd build then just bling it out with Liam li fans over next 1-2 years then upgrade cpu/gpu monator then.
when it comes to the 4k premium build, you can cheap out on the CPU, you don't need a 7800x3d, any 7000 series will do just fine, even with the stock cooler you can apply pbo and curve optimizer and get good gains, and then buy a xt or xtx instead of the nvidia card, thats what i did.. if you don't care about rt and think dlss is overrated, like i do :D
can you add vrchat fps its a great challenge for budget pcs honestly
Jasooooon!!! I ordered the Acer XV272U V3bmiiprx monitor yesterday because of your previous videos!! I'm excited for it to come! I'm gonna be using it for my Xbox Series X I just got....

I was leaning towards 4080 super but idk now after watching your vids....
Awesome!! So glad we can help and best wishes on your set up!
when I get this warning on PC Part Picker, what does it mean? 'A USB 3.2 Gen 2 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required.' - where is it required? for what connection? I've never built a pc before, this would be my first time.

Jason I have a Microcenter nearby and they are currently running a 7800x3d bundle. Always appreciate your videos! The CPU/MOBO/RAM combined price picked here is $708.19. The current 7800x3d bundle is $449.99, so a difference of $258.20. I know with some of these bundles, they do not use the best motherboards or RAM. This one is using the Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 and G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL32. Would it be bad to go for this bundle versus the components you picked? I could either just save $258.20 or put that back into the build, maybe pick up a monitor. Thanks!
No that bundle is great. Jason just doesn't talk about them because not everyone has access to a MicroCenter.
Awesome Video Per Usual, Thank You Jason!
Thanks so much! You're very welcome, and thanks for watching.
Good one Jason. Ever appreciated.

Hey Jason! I wish you talked more about your gpu choice, the reasons why the 4070 Ti Super won against the 4080 Super.
We just launched our Best GPU for Gaming 2024 video so you can check that out for way more
In the US you have different pricing than the rest of the world.
For me, the 7900XTX has the same price as the 4070TiSuper ...
In Raytracing they perform the same.
The 7900XTX has +50% more VRAM
In Rasterized performance it absolutely smoke the nVidia card. It's 1 tier up above it.
If I wanted to play in 4K, and I wanted to spend that much money I would just pick up the XTX.
Or. If I wanted to spend less, but same performance, I would get the 7900XT, which costs the same as the 4070Super here.
Yeah but for a US based youtuber it's kinda hard to be accurate about more obscure countries, you just have to go based of the US and most of that will transfer to countries with similar markets to the US like canada
@@Frashsibit In the US 4070Super is 650$ a good model and the 7900XT is 670$ a good model.
It might not be the exact same price, like in my country, but it's close enough.
The same applies with those 1 tier up.
4080Super is out of stock at MSRP. I only found it at 1150$ the cheapest ugliest model. At 1250$ a so and so model, and at 1500$ a good model.
The 4070Ti Super is 850$ and the 7900XTX is 890$.
40$ for +8Gb of VRAM and 35% more rasterized performance in 4K ... lewl ... it's not that big of a difference bro.
Better Call PC Builder, keep it up! Sadly EU is not getting those deals only rarely. Do you think RDNA 4 is going to deliver XTX performance with way lower power draw as it's supposed to be 4nm and monolithic instead of chiplet? I would go for XTX but that GPU would cook itself in my restricted case it's a half baked gen.
Great vid Jason 😊 probably the best pc building advisor 😊
Thank you!! Appreciate that (:
I agreed in every component except in the monitors recomended,VA panel are real bad at high Hz

I just didn't understood last build, both Amd cards 7900 XT (cheaper and more vrams) and 7900 XTX are better the Nvidia 4070 Super and you chose Nvidia?
If you to do Ray Tracing and that sort of thing its value goes up, but the 7900XT has recently dropped again in price so both are great options, or if you don't plan to do any Ray Tracing etc
Love your videos, just getting to building my own pc
Nice. Good luck with that. Any questions you have?
So glad you are enjoying! Best wishes on your build!
Also which motherboard do you think its the best for its value for 7950x3d?
Jason doesn't recommend the 7950X3D but if you already have it the MSI Tomahawk Jason recommended in the 1900 build would be good.
I just shared my thoughts on why you shouldn't get a 7950X3D with your other comment. But check out our Best Ryzen Motherboard 2023 video for lots of our motherboard recommendations (:
Nice microphone btw the sound quality is amazing
Oh good! Thanks that's helpful to hear
Amazing video as always Jason! Concise, precise and with lots of great info. I have a question that has been on my mind since I received all the parts for my new build: what's your stance on contact frames? Do we need them? I have a i5-13400 and a Gigabyte B760 Gaming X AX mostly for Lightroom and Photoshop. All accompanied with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE and a RTX 3050. Greetings from France!
Why spend on a 7800X3D to pair with a 4070 Ti Super when, in your other videos, you mentionned much cheaper CPUs like an i5 13600k or a ryzen 7600x are good enough to pair with a RTX4090? Won't the 4070 Ti Super be a huge bottleneck at 4k with such an overpowered cpu?
it’s crazy how fast 1440p gaming has become affordable/attainable. but it’s also crazy how many avid gamers don’t even know about 1440p. Or maybe they don’t see the need to upgrade. It was night and day for me.
My PC with a 4080 super and 7800x3d I use for 360hz 1440p (just copped the alienware OLED). But it even struggles in the newest games to push a consistent 120+ (avatar for example). That being said, I find it very controversial to call the $750 build a straight up 1440p build. I think in these names you should preface the settings that you would have to run. I mean my 3080 and 5800x3D was getting 60-70 fps on high settings in avatar. To get to that 100ish range I would have to be on low. 100 is about the minimum fps that I would settle for a game to be enjoyable. And the 7600xt build is even lesser than that. I know i’m choosing only one game to compare, but that game is arguably the best looking game to date. and games will continue to be released that have that visual experience and are equally hard to run. Spider-man 2 is gonna release and be super hard to run on that 7600xt build just watch. I think the 7800xt is a great 1440p and will continue to be for years to come. The lifespan of that 7600xt at 1440p would be too short.

I have a big problem with choosing a graphics card. I hesitate between GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super Windforce OC 16G (costs 4099 zł ~1014.6 $) vs ASROCK Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming OC 24GB (costs 4399 zł ~1088.86 $, but here I still have to buy a 850 W power supply 550 zł ~135.89 $) I take the whole thing on 0% installments. Currently I have Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 Gb ram 3600 Mhz, RTX 3060 Ti OC 8Gb,1440p monitor 27' Samsung Odyssey G7 (LC27G75TQSRXEN). In some time he wants to switch to AM5 with AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D or similar and 64 GB Ram. And I mainly play singleplayer games (elder ring, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Resident evil, BG3, Warhamer 40k Darktide. I want the best possible graphics from RT with stable 60 fps. I know that with this processor in both cases I will experience bottleneck but in a while I will replace the processor.
Cyberpunk uses hardware based RT, even the 7900xtx only get about 50 fps or so in 1440p RT ultra, native res. Most other games (if they even have RT) use soft RT which high end AMD GPUs can handle fairly easily.
If u want to stay at 1440p and RT is super important to u, I might buy the 4070ti super. If u want to keep your card for a longer time, especially playing in native res, then the 7900xtx is a way better choice imo. I got mine undervolted for slightly less performance but its at 270-300W full load and 45C° only (60+ hotspot). So cooling and power is not an issue (I have sapphire nitro+).
In the end it depends on your preferences and how long u want to enjoy games.
Hahaha I finally build my pc couple days ago, and aside from the PSU, I got a bequiet one since those are cheaper here. Everything else is exacly the same as the 1900 one. Was 2200€ though since tech stuff is more expensive here.

Hi Jason, Thanks for the useful videos. Could you please suggest PC config for a non-gaming workload that can last 4-5years. My work is mostly on Azure+AWS, watching 4k content on YT/ Netflix. Things I would prefer in the latest config:
-Thunderbolt connectivity(plugs to a thunderbolt monitor, daisy chain monitors, switch from my office laptop to pc, reduced cable clutter)
-10Gbps ethernet, Wifi 6E or better connectivity
-Highspeed USB ports - atleast 4
-GPU - dont know if onboard GPU will work or if I need a GPU
Depends on what your budget is and yes you'd want a GPU for better performance.

Awesome video as usually Jason! I pretty much used your videos to build my first PC last year. Thanks for all the info. I have a RTX 2080 Super. However, there is an AMD 6800 XT in my area for $250. This is a no-brainer upgrade, right? Again, thank you for spreading the knowledge!
Assuming the 6800XT is in good condition yes it's a no brainer.
@@kelley09162 Thanks for the feedback.
Depends on your CPU but I'll bet its a great choice!
@@PCBuilderChannel Thank you for the reply. I have an i7-11700. I went for it! Playing Warzone and Hogwarts Legacy and I definitely can see and feel the difference.
even better 1440p 240hz would be the nitro vg272U for 270 on newegg rn
Hi pal, thanks for this. New to the PC building game, I literally built this exact budget PC few weeks ago after watching your videos. Running games around 100fps up to about 165fps at 1080p?
Are these pretty good stats for this build or are there any overclocking adjustments I can safely make to increase these?
Intrigued
You just know we’re sitting patiently for our taxes😂
Another channel posted the 7700xt was recently going for around $350-360 although it didn't last. That would have been a great price and hopefully prices trend towards this going forward.
Yeah that seemed to be a mistake on the retailer's behalf or just a crazy flash deal.
Any great deals will still instantly vanish. Both from gamers and scalpers.
Jason, Jason...Jaaaaaasssssssoooooonnnnn! A million subs by September 2nd 2024.
Haha let's see! We're growing fast and appreciate all the support! Thanks for tuning in :D
@@PCBuilderChannel Well it's my hope. I always have your channel on all the TVs at my shop. Especially the bits where you're explaining good CPU/GPU combos, build ideas, and you illustrating how to build a computer. I also like to throw on gamers nexus when new products are being reviewed. It helps me ground myself while working. This is especially helpful on days when hordes of people come in and buy RTX 4060 cards. Last two months it was our most popular selling GPU.
For the 7800x3D… what is a recommended Air Cooler?
I just completed my build yesterday. I'm running the Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB. It looks amazing and is keeping my 7800X3D extremely cool. Dual tower, dual fans. My research found it came highly recommended across many build channels here on youtube and it's highly rated. I did have to raise the fan position just slightly higher to clear my ARGB RAM, but you can't even tell. $33 on Amazon.
Thermalright Phantom Spirit is a good choice.
Thermalright is always the best value, the Phantom Spirit is the main one for value right now.
Check out our 7800X3D build guide!
@@PCBuilderChannelThanks!
One more question. If I put the 7800x3D in my current rig, w/ 7900 XT, the estimated wattage goes up to 632W. But I currently use a Corsair RMe 850W PSU. Do you think I can safely use my PSU even though 632W x 1.5 = 948W?
1000W PSUs aren’t cheap either…
What air cooler would you recommend for gaming on a 14700k?
It might be cheap in US,but the prices elsewhere in the world are crazy(EU here)...nothing close to cheap
I wouldn't buy a budget or Samsung VA panel (flickering, smearing, scan lines, ghosting), definitely sticking with IPS for a bit more $
Which ones better for gaming, Ryzen 7 3800xt or 5 5600
5600. I don't think Jason would recommend that older 3800 in 2024.
Thank you
Ryzen 3800XT is an older CPU. The 5600 is the one to get for gaming. See our $750 build we use it in that one.
But I could get the r 7 3800xt for 50
@@KaisComputers still not recommended in 2024. Go 5600 or 5500 if the 5600 is too much for you.
Ryzen 7800X3D is the fastest CPU for gaming but in 4K the difference with Ryzen 5800x3D is 0 -1%, so for those on a tight budget you can choose Ryzen 7 7700X or even the previous generation CPU 5700 x3d. or even a ryzen 7 5700X? I hope you can make a video about this.
The fastest is 7900X3D
you didn't do the best DAC's to get Jason, I've been asking for a long time xD
I thought I listed a bunch on the Best Ryzen motherboard video! :)
What's the cheapest Intel cpu for 4k gaming...
Thank you for the recommendations. I am currently planning on getting a mid-high end gaming PC and was wondering if a 7600X + 4080 super is a reasonable alternative for 7800X3D + 4070 ti super? The prices for the combos are relatively similar here.
