I went to my local microcenter today and picked up a brand new 9800x3D AMD combo, with a x670 and 32 gb of DDR5 ram. I plan to wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday for some great sales on the rest of what I want and need for my next build. Lots of people doing new builds in the store though I saw.
I tend to buy top shelf and sit on my builds for multiple generations, then update or get the next platform when it's more difficult to run anything at acceptable levels. My current rig is a 5900X and previously an underwhelming EVGA 3070 (it replaced a 1070ti in 2020 and I Barely noticed any improvement). When the 7900XTs went on sale recently, I was planning to go 'last gen' Threadripper to use as many parts of the current machine as I could (I'm primarily modeling/CAD/CAM work with games as time allows these days), but ended up grabbing a unit for a steal. Just with the GPU, fps Doubled from 70-80 to 160+, and with some fine tuning, I'm regularly in the 180-200 range at 2k resolution. That's a Tremendous bump for just a GPU. Now I'm running into PCIe lanes being gobbled up by NVME drives, so I found a refurbed X570 Unity board to transfer everything and *should be able to have all the drives and a full PCIe 4.0x16 GPU again. Even with x8, this thing is screaming good now in games, and the modeling software is equally happy.
Curious you said you have a build for your son. I'm prepping to build my first PC right now and want to build one for my son after. What would you put together for a kid whose going to use it for FPSs like Fortnite, COD, maybe some other multiplayer MMO games. I'm looking for the lowest affordable build that can also have an upgrade path for the future that i can easily swap out the CPU and GPU?
@@Hesoulo if you want to be somewhat future proof , the newest amd socket is probably the way to go. I would look for motherboard,cpu , ram bundles and save some money. (Microcenter has the best deals) . At that point any current gen gpu that is decent would be good . Stay away from the super budget gpu’s. I’m a big fan of the 4070 and 4070super because the cost isn’t outrageous and it isn’t that power hungry.
If you want a really cheap build, you can buy an used processor and gpu, or even a complete computer. Like the Ryzen 5 3600 and Gtx 1080ti 11gb is going for very cheap used now. I bought the cpu for 50€ and the gpu for 150€. It has similar performence to an modern RTX 4060. I have a "Asus TUFF Gaming B450-Plus 2" motherboard. This board supports all the AM4 1/2/3 generation Ryzen Cpu's. "Out of the box" it supported my old 1600x/3600 and also 5600 without bios update. What i can improve overall is investing in a really good heatsink for the cpu and mabe some higher clock ddr4 memory. This all depends on what games the kid plays, if he is into older games like me, you have better compatibility & performence with older builds compared to modern builds.

@@jtome5467 so there is a lot of fear from consumers buying Intel 13th and 14th gen , I personally have 3 i9 systems. 14900k , 13900ks and a 13900k , none of these systems have had any issues. Now I understand the bios and voltage. I had made adjustments way before people were aware of any issues and before Intel knew there was a problem. Currently as long as you update your bios to the newest microcode, I see zero issue with buying the 13th and 14th gen. They are definitely faster than the new core ultra in gaming. Cooling is also important with the i9 CPU’s . I am on custom watercooling and they run extremely cool. As for aio coolers that can handle the i9 - the best results I personally tested on was the ek 360 aio that is affordable and combined with a contact frame and good thermal paste such as thermal grizzly kryonaught or kingpin kpx , it should be a good gaming experience. Also having a higher end motherboard with lots of vrm cooling and powerstages is important with the i9. That being said 14700k and 13700k and extremely good for gaming. If you have concerns, the 12900k and 12700k are good options that are plug and play.
@@tonypolitowicz8290 Ok thanks for the advice. While i still have time, until black friday starts, I will some research about to update bios (some advice update first before put CPU) and "how to adjusments on voltage". If i go with 13th gen something happen i will switch to i9 12900k.
One thing forget to ask is when you said for 12th gen just "plug and play" but should i still set power limit (to what is recommend it on intel website) or just leave it has it is? Also should i update the latest bios (with microde 0x12B) it wont effect to the 12th gen performance? Sorry to ask this questions i just want to make sure i don't make mistakes or encounter issues.
@ so for 12th gen the old micro code is fine the 12th GENCPU doesn’t demand as much power and voltage is an issue. I have a 12th GEN on a PC at my work office and it’s on an old bios . It never commands a lot of voltage and I’ve had zero issues whatsoever.
Just did last month. 4080 Super and 9700x build 0 regrets well worth it. Coming from a ZOTAC 2080ti AMP Extreme. The difference is insane, and DLSS 3.7 with FG looks just as good as native resolutions. Also looks and plays better than my brother’s 3090ti. FG takes a good amount of vram though. So 16GB is concerning. Especially for those even worse 50 series leaked prices .
Similar here just getting a 4080 non Super 13700k prebuild refurb for cheap coming from a 1080 Ti. I saved so much that I also scored a 27" 1440p OLED. Bliss! 50 series prices will make many regret not buying sooner.
@@cosmicheretic8129 The 1080ti is great. I had that in my rig before the 2080ti. I just gave that build to my friend it wasn’t even worth going through the trouble to sell it and he was still on a 970 somehow. 🤷🏾♂️
50 series is about to drop but I'm looking at a prebuild with a 4070 ti super...honestly sucks but I've been on a 2060 for so long I think it's worth it
For smaller budgets, on intel side hands down now I5 12400f +ddr4 or AMD R5 5000 series offer great value and saving compared to "better" CPU like I7 or R7, will more than makeup if its spend on GPU.
I am laptop gamer and I buy 4k usd laptops and upgrade after 4 to 5 years. I also want to build my 1st high end gaming PC. Here in the Philippines a 4090 was around 3k to 4k usd but now I can find one for $2010. I will wait for the 50 series and see if it's worth it or I can buy the 4090 at a discount when the new cards come out. I am eyeing the 5080 or 5090.
I'd love to hear some opinons or experience on the idea of gaming in 1440p on a i5 9600k and perhaps a RTX 4070. I mostly chase higher frames in my games so I wouldn't mind playing on high/very high instead of ultra. Keep in mind that I play quite a few new releases at constant 60 FPS (30 FPS in singe or coop games) atm and still enjoy them. I've been thinking of upgrading my old GTX 1060 6gb since I am getting GPU bottlenecked in many games and I was thinking of buying a RTX 4060 ti 16 gb or something for 1080p but I am pretty certain I will get quite bottlenecked in many games on 1080p on my old CPU. Thats why I've been thinking of buying a new 1440p monitor and GPU to play on 1440p to alleviate some of the CPU bottlenecking that will occur. Buying a new GPU and 1440p monitor would cost me less then upgrading my current CPU since I need to get a new motherboard and RAM as well and I have no use for the old parts, and I'd like to get as much juice as I can from this CPU before one day I upgrade it to be able to play on 1440p. There is still room for overclocking my old i5 9600k. Also I am from Europe so computer part prices are quite different then the MSRP if people make comparison based on price of GPUs and I preffer Nvidia GPUs because of their features. Cheers guys!
@@TheCROHELLBOY well some things to consider. For games like csgo not a problem. If you were compare it to say a 5600x a budget 6 core 12 thread cpu vs the 6 core 6 thread intel cpu , there would be a decent uplift. Pending on what gpu you select also has a big impact on where your bottleneck will be. For 1080p you would be fine. 1440p will have an impact on fps. Personally I would steer you to go for a platform upgrade. 12600k would yield a 20% uplift alone. Save up and maybe go for both, gpu and cpu. Also take the used market into consideration.
@@tonypolitowicz8290 Thank you for a quick reply! A bit more info about my PC: it has 32gb of RAM and a lot of storage which I added to as years went on (2 M.2 SSDs, 2 sata SSDs and a 1 TB HDD). I never experiance much stutters besides on EfT which is quite unoptimised. I basicaly use it for gaming since I built it and I mostly play not super demanding games and older titles, for example: BG3, Persona titles, fps games like CS, Helldivers and strategy or military games like total war or Warno). Since I am in a smaller Europian country used market has redicilous prices for PC parts, so much so that sometimes there is only 2 ads for a PC part that are the same price as a newly released better part. So selling such old parts is a no go... I've had this PC for 6 years and it still does the job that I need it to (plays games without stutters and at a console level fps 😅), but I was thinking of upgrading the GPU atm to something that I would use for the next 4+ years if I am lucky, and buying a CPU and motherboard next year. Also since PC parts prices are quite different in my country on the new market what GPU would you reccomend (focusing only on performance) for 1440p right now and in the future or do you think I should stick to 1080p with my i5 9600k? Currently the 70s cards from Nvidia seem like a decent choice in my eyes. 😁
@@TheCROHELLBOY so many choices on gpu - 3060 12gb 7600xt 6750xt Used 2080 3070 on the used market 7700xt All depends on budget. Here in the states there are so many great cards used for a very reasonable price.
@@tonypolitowicz8290 I was mostly looking at the Rtx 40 series cards from retailers since the price is more reasonable. And for price something around 600-700€ (around 750$) if it can be used for more then 3 years atleast. But like I said I am more concerned with future performance then price atm.
I, personally wouldn't advise anyone to build new on AM4. Even if you have to go 7600 to get on AM5 it's much more sensible. DDR5 will become more relevant as games and engines lean more on the frequency. Intel is an outright avoid until we see Arrow lake performance.
I'm using 12900k and 4090 in a custom loop. I actually may not change my cpu. If i do get a cheaper 14900ks. I won't have to change much and will get a nice boost in performance.
Was looking at 4070ti then the 7900xtx became the same price. Then I thought is it really worth it now or should I wait, I'm also tempted to buy all the main parts - the gpu and get a budget gpu like a 7800xt. Sell that later and get one of the next gen cards. I assume the 7800x3d and a 650b will support the next gen cards.
It depends on people situations. If you want a 7900xtx it would have been a great time to buy it for prime day. Me personally I’m waiting to see what happens with the next launch. I have a 7900xt and I’d only really upgrade if the 5080 makes sense. Looking at leaks though the 5080 at the proposed price of $1200 for 16 GB vram is a hard pass. If they launch the 5080 for 899 (i highly highly doubt they will) then I may pick it up. It also looks like Nvidia will come out with a 5080 super/TI so I may wait until those release to see if it’s worth it. Knowing Nvidia they will hike the prices and make it not worth upgrading. Just got to see what the real world performance is and make a decision then. I don’t usually upgrade my gpu every cycle but I do miss my Nvidia gpu because my favorite game isn’t optimized for AMD at all. Went from a GTX 970 to a 3080 to a 7900xt. Just got to wait and see what the prices are. 7900xt is still great so I’m not too upset if Nvidia jacks up prices as high as everyone thinks they will
@@joniqst 3080 is still a great card but I went from around 60 FPS to 95+ in games like helldivers 2 and space marine 2. I didn’t like sitting at 60 at max settings but you definitely can do it
Just buy it if you need it, do extensive research, not everyone loves in States or western Europe. In my case the price has been stable high in the past year, so I jumped for ryzen 7500f to replace my old skylake 😁

I have a 5900x/3080 setup, I am thinking on upgrading my 3080 to 5080 only. not sure if there will be a huge gaming performance difference between 5900x and 9900x at 4k 144hz.

i have new 12700K + msi z790 edge ti max + new 7800x3d with X870 A gaming wifi. i don't know wich to keep, because i like the msi board better, looks cooler
5800x3d not langer available or at ridicoulous prices. Good option if you allready own an AM4-platform the 5700x3D, i wouldn't suggest to build a new system on AM4 basis, but i would highly suggest to upgrade to an 5700x3D (of course if you get an 5800x3d at a reasonable price but only then). i would choose my GPU wisely you can't burn more money (literally) a big issue the most youtubers ignore is additional the energy/perfofmance ratio, especially how good do they go down in power consumption if limited in Framerates, there only a few genres benefitting from highest framerates available, if yo go for genres beside that a stable framerate is worth a lot more than high peak values. Don't forgetif you plan to have highest framerates you need an equivalent monitor to benefit from them, if you only have a FHD 60 FPS monitor why spending tons of money for 4K/240 Frames GPU. In many countries energy costs have risen tremendously don't ignore that, The energy efficiency has becoming much more important.
@@gelobongs well for a lot of hardcore enthusiasts 1500 dollars usd is a budget build. I agree that’s a fair amount of money. But the difference between a 750 dollar pc to a 1500 dollar pc is a huge performance difference and probably worth saving up a little more money to have the best possible performance experience without spending 3000 plus dollars. I have huge investment in my 2 main builds. Now with the used market being present saturated, there are some really good deals out there.

@@cosmicheretic8129 Practically the same card. Good choice 👍🏾 if the 5080/5090 are a good price, I’ll loose a bit of cash and buy the 4090.
50 series is about to drop but I'm looking at a prebuild with a 4070 ti super...honestly sucks but I've been on a 2060 for so long I think it's worth it
@@ItsOats the 4070ti will be a good jump in performance and you will have DLSS for more fps !
For smaller budgets, on intel side hands down now I5 12400f +ddr4 or AMD R5 5000 series offer great value and saving compared to "better" CPU like I7 or R7, will more than makeup if its spend on GPU.
I am laptop gamer and I buy 4k usd laptops and upgrade after 4 to 5 years. I also want to build my 1st high end gaming PC. Here in the Philippines a 4090 was around 3k to 4k usd but now I can find one for $2010. I will wait for the 50 series and see if it's worth it or I can buy the 4090 at a discount when the new cards come out. I am eyeing the 5080 or 5090.
@@e36boy no matter what path you take - you are looking at a huge uplift in performance.
I'd love to hear some opinons or experience on the idea of gaming in 1440p on a i5 9600k and perhaps a RTX 4070.
I mostly chase higher frames in my games so I wouldn't mind playing on high/very high instead of ultra. Keep in mind that I play quite a few new releases at constant 60 FPS (30 FPS in singe or coop games) atm and still enjoy them.
I've been thinking of upgrading my old GTX 1060 6gb since I am getting GPU bottlenecked in many games and I was thinking of buying a RTX 4060 ti 16 gb or something for 1080p but I am pretty certain I will get quite bottlenecked in many games on 1080p on my old CPU. Thats why I've been thinking of buying a new 1440p monitor and GPU to play on 1440p to alleviate some of the CPU bottlenecking that will occur.
Buying a new GPU and 1440p monitor would cost me less then upgrading my current CPU since I need to get a new motherboard and RAM as well and I have no use for the old parts, and I'd like to get as much juice as I can from this CPU before one day I upgrade it to be able to play on 1440p. There is still room for overclocking my old i5 9600k.
Also I am from Europe so computer part prices are quite different then the MSRP if people make comparison based on price of GPUs and I preffer Nvidia GPUs because of their features.
Cheers guys!
@@TheCROHELLBOY well some things to consider. For games like csgo not a problem. If you were compare it to say a 5600x a budget 6 core 12 thread cpu vs the 6 core 6 thread intel cpu , there would be a decent uplift. Pending on what gpu you select also has a big impact on where your bottleneck will be. For 1080p you would be fine. 1440p will have an impact on fps. Personally I would steer you to go for a platform upgrade. 12600k would yield a 20% uplift alone. Save up and maybe go for both, gpu and cpu. Also take the used market into consideration.
@@tonypolitowicz8290 Thank you for a quick reply!
A bit more info about my PC: it has 32gb of RAM and a lot of storage which I added to as years went on (2 M.2 SSDs, 2 sata SSDs and a 1 TB HDD). I never experiance much stutters besides on EfT which is quite unoptimised.
I basicaly use it for gaming since I built it and I mostly play not super demanding games and older titles, for example: BG3, Persona titles, fps games like CS, Helldivers and strategy or military games like total war or Warno).
Since I am in a smaller Europian country used market has redicilous prices for PC parts, so much so that sometimes there is only 2 ads for a PC part that are the same price as a newly released better part. So selling such old parts is a no go...
I've had this PC for 6 years and it still does the job that I need it to (plays games without stutters and at a console level fps 😅), but I was thinking of upgrading the GPU atm to something that I would use for the next 4+ years if I am lucky, and buying a CPU and motherboard next year.
Also since PC parts prices are quite different in my country on the new market what GPU would you reccomend (focusing only on performance) for 1440p right now and in the future or do you think I should stick to 1080p with my i5 9600k? Currently the 70s cards from Nvidia seem like a decent choice in my eyes. 😁
@@TheCROHELLBOY so many choices on gpu -
3060 12gb
7600xt
6750xt
Used 2080
3070 on the used market
7700xt
All depends on budget. Here in the states there are so many great cards used for a very reasonable price.
@@tonypolitowicz8290 I was mostly looking at the Rtx 40 series cards from retailers since the price is more reasonable.
And for price something around 600-700€ (around 750$) if it can be used for more then 3 years atleast. But like I said I am more concerned with future performance then price atm.
@@TheCROHELLBOY with that budget lots of choices. 4070ti would be pretty solid.
I, personally wouldn't advise anyone to build new on AM4. Even if you have to go 7600
to get on AM5 it's much more sensible. DDR5 will become more relevant as
games and engines lean more on the frequency. Intel is an outright avoid until we see Arrow lake performance.
@@stephanhart9941 i completely agree -but for the budget builders it can be a good cheap option
I'm using 12900k and 4090 in a custom loop. I actually may not change my cpu. If i do get a cheaper 14900ks. I won't have to change much and will get a nice boost in performance.
Was looking at 4070ti then the 7900xtx became the same price. Then I thought is it really worth it now or should I wait, I'm also tempted to buy all the main parts - the gpu and get a budget gpu like a 7800xt. Sell that later and get one of the next gen cards. I assume the 7800x3d and a 650b will support the next gen cards.
@@Jodor-- I would probably wait unless you find a great deal.
It depends on people situations. If you want a 7900xtx it would have been a great time to buy it for prime day. Me personally I’m waiting to see what happens with the next launch. I have a 7900xt and I’d only really upgrade if the 5080 makes sense. Looking at leaks though the 5080 at the proposed price of $1200 for 16 GB vram is a hard pass. If they launch the 5080 for 899 (i highly highly doubt they will) then I may pick it up. It also looks like Nvidia will come out with a 5080 super/TI so I may wait until those release to see if it’s worth it. Knowing Nvidia they will hike the prices and make it not worth upgrading. Just got to see what the real world performance is and make a decision then. I don’t usually upgrade my gpu every cycle but I do miss my Nvidia gpu because my favorite game isn’t optimized for AMD at all. Went from a GTX 970 to a 3080 to a 7900xt. Just got to wait and see what the prices are. 7900xt is still great so I’m not too upset if Nvidia jacks up prices as high as everyone thinks they will
@@goalieman206 good advice
What kind of uplift did you get going from 3080 to 7900xt?
@@joniqst I will say the 3080 is a great card
@@joniqst 3080 is still a great card but I went from around 60 FPS to 95+ in games like helldivers 2 and space marine 2. I didn’t like sitting at 60 at max settings but you definitely can do it
Just buy it if you need it, do extensive research, not everyone loves in States or western Europe. In my case the price has been stable high in the past year, so I jumped for ryzen 7500f to replace my old skylake 😁

5800x3d not langer available or at ridicoulous prices. Good option if you allready own an AM4-platform the 5700x3D, i wouldn't suggest to build a new system on AM4 basis, but i would highly suggest to upgrade to an 5700x3D (of course if you get an 5800x3d at a reasonable price but only then). i would choose my GPU wisely you can't burn more money (literally) a big issue the most youtubers ignore is additional the energy/perfofmance ratio, especially how good do they go down in power consumption if limited in Framerates, there only a few genres benefitting from highest framerates available, if yo go for genres beside that a stable framerate is worth a lot more than high peak values. Don't forgetif you plan to have highest framerates you need an equivalent monitor to benefit from them, if you only have a FHD 60 FPS monitor why spending tons of money for 4K/240 Frames GPU.
In many countries energy costs have risen tremendously don't ignore that, The energy efficiency has becoming much more important.

I agree that’s a fair amount of money.
But the difference between a 750 dollar pc to a 1500 dollar pc is a huge performance difference and probably worth saving up a little more money to have the best possible performance experience without spending 3000 plus dollars.
I have huge investment in my 2 main builds. Now with the used market being present saturated, there are some really good deals out there. Me personally, I typically buy all new hardware and tend to be on the flagship parts. 1500 is enough to build a very powerful pc.
