    Good info as always but I'd like to make a few small suggestions. As you did with Alexander's, please mention warranty terms / cost. It can make a big difference from SI to SI. Also, if shipping is additional or included. The SI I have used on my last two builds does not charge extra for shipping or sales tax but does for upgraded 3 year parts & labor with lifetime tech support. These do impact the bottom line. Much appreciated! Keep up the great work!

    Been looking around for a good, if not decent gaming computer. Even though it’s going to take a very long time to save up for one. At least your videos will help narrow down which places to search from and all that.

    I'm really liking the Power Prestige from PowerPGU. With an Intel-i7-14700k and an nVidia RTX4080 Super, it comes out to almost $2,900. Is that worth the money or could I get more bang for my buck sacrificing aesthetics for something just as quiet and powerful?

    In the CPU wait game. Got the i7-12700k right now with 64GB CL16 3600 ddr4 ram and a 4090.
    So if I upgrade itd have to be a 14700k and at that point why keep ddr4. I either wait for 15th gen intel or make the switch over to AM5. Either way Ive gotta udate to ddr5

    I get that a 7950x is better than a 7950x3d cpu for content creation but how much is the disparity if you have a x3d and wanna do content creation?! Is it just slower or u can’t run as many apps as the 7950x?!

    • @braethorn
      @braethorn  Місяць тому

      The 7950X3D is still great for content creation. Core parking complicates things. Besides that, the 8 cores with 3D v-cache run at lower frequency due to thermal limitations. It's just simpler to get a 7950X for a multi-purpose PC, but both are great.
