      Normally I have in the past been one that rarely upgrades but just builds a new system.
      Due to cost of components today and the overall inflation rate that is lessening the hobby budget spending amount considering a CPU upgrade from a 12th gen 12700k to a 14th gen 14700k or 14900k if the black Friday sale prices give decent discounts on the 14th gen sku's.
      Figure this and a 50 series GPU upgrade will stretch this build out for another solid two to three years and save a few dollars doing so.

    Hi Jason just wanted to say thank you man, that I’ve assembled a PC first time myself (even though I’m a software engineer never done it before) all thanks to your buy recommendations and assemble instructions. And I have literally become a child again, that magic is back, I’ve learned so much more, played so much more titles that I wanted to play for 10 years that I couldn’t have done on my ps4 and ps5, but first of all, your tips were 100% accurate and very practical, nobody is doing such useful content for a regular Joe that wants to build a PC himself. I appreciate your “current market situation” and “how to choose a …” videos. You’re doing a God’s job, dude. Down to earth, honest man you are.

      Wrong in most cases, you can tell an AMD form an NVidia GPU. Nvidia tends to have a more vibrant and crisp colour, over the Radeon, which tends to be blander in colour and flicker at the edges of frames.

People are lazy & don't want to do their own research. I still don't fully trust Intel GPU's as their still working out some kinks but they are making good progress so give them another year or 2 & they'll be much more competitive in the GPU market.

    The PC I built a few years ago is all AMD and I'm super happy with it - 5600/6800XT Taichi. The 16 GB VRAM is great and it crushes every game I play at 1440p. Raytracing just isn't worth the performance hit for me, I'd rather get 165 FPS with no raytracing & high or ultra settings than 50 FPS with raytracing maxed out. I'm about to help my brother build his first custom PC with all AMD parts - 7600(X)/7900XT. FPS & VRAM are #1 for me and I'd rather support AMD than Intel or nVidia anyway.

    There's also tons of graphics settings that do virtually nothing, so find an "optimized FPS" video guide for the games you play and turn on those settings. There's all kinds of settings you can turn down and have the game look nearly indistinguishable from "ultra" or high settings, but with 40-50% more FPS. That's how I got Helldivers 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 to go from ~40-50 FPS on a 1080ti/3700X at 1080p to ~80-90 FPS.

    I was originally waiting for the AMD 8000 series but with the CEO confirming they will not have high-end cards and their highest 8800 will only have 256-bit bus, I decided to pull the trigger on the good sale prices of the 7900 XT with 320-bit bus and 20gb VRAM which helps a lot since I run VR and 45" LG Ultragear 240hz OLED, I replaced a RTX 4070 that was getting 90 FPS on fully modded Asetto Corsa to now 200+ FPS with the 7900 XT OC White Phantom, that I got for $630 and two free games. You are spot on, that raw power I just get high FPS without DLSS.

    I have a 3080 10GB that I bought late last year for a little over $300 to tide me over until 5000 series/8000 series cards come out early next year. The 10GB is not ideal but for the games I play for now it's been fine for me and for that price used (on ebay) it was a big enough upgrade over my old vaunted 1080 that I went ahead and bought it as a stop-gap. I don't really play games at high enough res. to push the 10GB cap but I know I will sooner or later (and by the time I'm really feeling the pains of this card's low VRAM cap hopefully something like a good used 4070 ti super or something will be down a few hundred $ from where it is now (which would make it much more appealing.) Thanks for your always great videos, best in the biz!

    If you are facing a CPU bottleneck, why would you turn up settings? That won't make things run faster. Simple solution is to cap FPS. If your max FPS with that CPU is not sufficient for you, there are CPU heavy specific settings that you can turn down. Depending on the game whether it gives you that level of control and indicates which settings are more CPU intensive.

    I went with the Newegg $330 deal, it isn't an upgrade for me, because I have a 5700g on an itx, so my computer is getting bigger, but it will put me in the AM5 arena to upgrade later if I need, and also provides me a pcie slot to add some USB c ports on the back of my computer. I'll be able to sell all of my am4 components for about $400 on ebay, which will pay for my cpu fan but I'll have to pay taxes.
    I think now is the time to switch to AM5 if you're on the AM4 platform, because you can sell your hardware before the holiday season while people are shopping, and after this winter it will be hard to sell AM4 as easily with 9000 around the corner, and everyone being broke in this economy.

    I think the huge misconception is that the numbers show at @8:00 doesn't have upscaling turned on. 4K Resolution upscaled actually looks crisp and is more than worth it. Especially with the release of OptiScaler that has Frame Gen support. I believe it would be great information to showcase upscaling features as well. This way, most viewers will understand what features come with the money they are about to put up.

    When the $1600+ 4090 cant do 4k 60 natively on some of the new games its just bad time. Just save some money and go midrange and use aggressive upscaling with a 1440p resolution until the GPUs catch up. Devs are building games with performance upscaling in mind sucky time if you like to crank settings max.

    Temps and "acceptable limits" i have not had a system that ran well over a few years running 75-90°c, just because something can handle 100°c doesnt mean its fine to near max that. Alarming amount of people seem to think 95°c is fine cuz thats what it runs out of the box.
    Those lower priced Asrock's runs like the sun and while you saved money, who knows what it killed off in the process of dying, you have saved so little compared to the problems that can occur, more heat more problems, and less performance. Same with PSU not running enough watt above what youre pushing, youre almost always gonna land on 850w in a modern system since you really want that 20% over the top of estimated draw. Now you CAN budget run a 750w if you have ~700w useage, but would you recommend that, i hope not without cautionary tales. Depends on how long you plan to have a system that works as intended. I always build for 4-6+ years with a GPU swap down the line ensure plenty of PSU room.
    In my book if you have motherboard nowadays on AM5 or Socket 1700 that you might aswell go for a board that isnt on meltdown temps at longer game hours.
    The problem is you cant get a scrapped for features motherboard with good Vram and build quality and chipset because R&D exsists, same with some manufacturers not selling motherboards without Wifi, cuz the damn thing wont sell on its own, forcing an extra payment on the board, you dont get features for free, you just dont. Features you dont want or need? Absolutely.
    Ray tracing is another example of R&D price you pay, would you turn it on below a 4070ti super? Maybe, should you? No absolutely not, as it will murder the performance.
    Upscaling (DLSS,FSR) is good i suppose on all GPU's, and UE5 is an insane engine that can optimize very well, question is will the developer.
    I mean if you go absolutely low key performance bang for buck, and just get a 4070 something or a 7800xt with a 850w while the rest is just there to barely make them functional.
    The cheapest motherboard, i3 14100f or an AM4 non-X or non-X3d, $20-30 Pc case, 16-32gb DDR4 RAM depending on OS, stock CPU cooler, bronze PSU, sure its budget, you might save $400-600, but i wouldn't expect that to survive 2 years without something horrible going wrong especialy if you let BIOS and GPU default OC itself, i would most likely hold off from running XMP profiles aswell !
    Buy cheap buy twice and GPU's are not cheap enough for that to make much sense these days imo.
    If youre very careful.. and lucky, it might live until you can re-do this again when you need a new GPU, as the remaining components now are so dated they cannot be bought for cheaper than current hardware. But seriously make sure not to have a single thing overclocked from factory settings or otherwise on a budget, you cannot afford to help it along into the grave.
    Unless the budget says its unavoidable, do not do it.
