    Hoping to scrounge together some money to take a shot at VTubing within the next couple years. Hoping to have a lot of room for expansion in my PC, enough power for a smooth VR experience eventually. Gotta be able to play games at 1440p and still have the power to stream and render my little avatar persona.
    I’d love to see a buy guide for VTubing, like starting from scratch and including the price of getting someone to make your avatar. I’d love to know what sort of budget I’d need and where best to allocate my money.

    I am building something similar. i5-13600kf, z690a pro, rx 6700xt which is better than the 3060ti in pure gaming without rt, 32gb corsair lpx 3200 cl16, an arctic liquid freezer ii 360mm aio, and a LC Power 804B Obsession Case. SSD is a Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 1TB. I am going to use it for 3440x1440p @144hz. Since the 13600kf is a beast I just need to replace my gpu for the next upgrade and maybe a faster ram but that is all.

    Hi! I got the same case and cooler. My motherboard is also Asus but it's a B7690 Strix. I just got a question, I plugged in the RGB controller's USB 2.0 cable on the bottom left USB 2.0 of my MB and the Kraken cooler's cord to the right USB 2.0 header just beside the other one. The kraken has light and display but the software is not detecting my cpu cooler. Did I connect it right? Thanks!

    I'm in the process of building a PC for the first time and just picked up a 3060 ti through Best Buy and was curious on the difference between CPUs. What are the benefits of having the i5-13600K compared to the i5-12400F? Thank you!

    • @fabian9384
      @fabian9384 Рік тому +1

      The 12400f has 6 cores, the 13600k has also so 6 performance cores but additional 8 effeciency cores. So 20 threats combined. Also, you are able to overclock the k version easily with an z690 or z790 board

    • @gwilymmacdonald8465
      @gwilymmacdonald8465 Рік тому +3

      For the RTX 3060 Ti, the i5 12400F is probably a better combo, as the 13600K won’t significantly impact your fps and, as the latter costs so much more, for that range of GPU the 12th Gen CPU makes more sense in my opinion.

    • @Rackcoon929
      @Rackcoon929 Рік тому +1

      The difference should be heavily required softwares such as graphical design based (cinebench for testing, in where CPU's matter)
      If you're gaming the difference is that you're being ripped off (13600k doo doo)

    I hate the fact that you don't show the actual performance without dlss, It irks me so much. I'll watch an entire video of yours, and forget that you do this each time.. Only to get to the point where you show benchmarks, and I find myself angry as shit. I now have to go look for another 13600k, 3060ti build to see its genuine performance.. Not everybody wants to use dlss, so thanks a lot.

    Feels like a overkill with a 13600k with a 306oti GPU.... Should have least been 3070ti...

    Dude, I hate that builds are not really that expensive. What is expensive is the stupid graphics card like bro they need to make a graphics card that is like affordable for a People like all this 3060 and comparing it to a 3090 and stuff like that like bro they need to make one graphics card, Dad can just game they should too late in the game category like if you want to play Fortnite with Valorant in CS go buy this graphics card if you want to play rust if you want to play assassin’s creed if you want to play other high-end games, then buy this graphics card

    Here's a 4k white/black build for $1,486.43 (In North America at the time of this comment):
    •CPU: 5800X - $248 from Newegg
    •Motherboard: Asus Rog Strix B550 A-Gaming - $146.99 from Amazon (you will likely need to flash the bios)
    •Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB - $56.99 from Amazom
    •Storage: Silicon Power A60 1TB NVME - $57.49 from Newegg
    •Graphics Card: MSI Gaming X Trio 6950xt - $779.99 from Newegg
    •Case: Montech X3 Mesh White: $64.99 from Newegg (currently on sale)
    •PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 PE 850w PSU - $104.99 from Newegg
    •CPU Cooler: Vetroo V5 52 CFM CPU Cooler - $34.99 from Newegg
    Notes: You could go with a lower watt PSU to save $20 (give or take), but the 850w gives you some headroom and can deal with any transient spikes from the 6950xt. You could also switch out the ram for some faster models or even ones with rgb, but it'll cost a bit more. If 1TB of storage isn't enough, you could grab a 2TB NVME. The cheapest I could find with similar speeds was about $129.99. If you're not a fan of air coolers, there are some decent water coolers for fairly cheap as well, the cheapest one I could find that kept the white aesthetic was the ID-Cooling Frostflow X for $54.99 from Amazon (Not sure how it performs though, might need to look that up before you buy). You could (and probably should) upgrade the CPU from a 5800x to a 5800X3D for another $100. The 5800X3D is a much better CPU for gaming, I was just trying to keep the price as close to $1,500 as possible. You could also reduce price even more by going with a 6900xt or even dropping to a 6800xt, both can manage 4k gaming for almost every game. (curse you Flight Simulator! lol) Also, definitely look into some other cases as well. The Montech Mesh was named best budget case of 2022 by Gamers Nexus, but they still felt it was a little lacking in some aspects.
    Lastly, you should always use something like pcpartpicker to make sure you're getting the best price on whichever components you're buying. It'll also help with compatibility by informing you which parts are compatible with which.
    P.S. Wait for Black Friday and you'll probably be able to build something like this for even less. 👍👌😁
