So, you still had some warranty for that? On my country there is no stock of new RX 6600, but I would import it from Amazon. Did you get one for $150 or less?
@@takehirolol5962 i got for about 158$ if converted from my country's currency. I got it from a trusted seller here and he gave me a 1 month warranty. So far, I haven't had any issues with the GPU
@@ProYamYamPC I'm definitely enjoying thanks to you. Even before I bought one, I've been looking at your videos and have seen you recommending this GPU. Great stuff man and thank you!
Wow. Never been here so early. G’morning from the east coast of America. I love the aesthetic of your channel. It’s like the photography channels I watch, so the best of my two favorite worlds! Keep it up!
If you're concerned about power consumption, you can always undervolt your GPU. That's what I did with my 2060 Super, and if you want to save even more, use a 60 FPS cap, and you're good to go. The entry levels GPU's can shine with the AMD 5000 series, they're still quite capable, but that would only be good if you're on an absolute low budget, otherwise, is better to go with the 7000 series like the video says.
To piggyback on the entry level gpu segment, always try to look for reviews for the card you're looking into. Some cards have a "high end" variant of a low end card (i.e a Strix 3060, Aorus 3060, etc.) they are not worth the price premium being asked at all. I made that mistake as a PC noob back in the day. A 2060 Super Aorus was a really good card, cooled well and had lots of RGB. It was not worth $449 asking price as it was nearly $500 after tax ($481) which was basically a 2070 Super (luckily I was still in the return window). Getting a higher end variant isn't the end of the world on a higher end card. But if getting a premium card gets you close to encroaching on the next tier of card, take the higher tier card. 50 and 60 tier cards typically don't need as much cooling as a stronger card. Hence why, you should look up reviews on the card you're looking into otherwise you'd wind up with a 4060 Windforce which should be simple to cool at 115w but somehow managed to be terrible.
At 2:55, If you video edit then you'll want an Nvidia card, as its NVENC encoder is superior to everything else for encoding, and nothing wrong with pairing it with an Intel CPU, I do and I have no issues at all, I use Handbrake and Filmora 9 and Intel and Nvidia are a great combo for both of those. As for "pure gaming", nothing wrong with using Intel either, the Amd X3D chips might be faster, but they've had a own whole host of issues too, ram and motherboard issues that rival Intel's issues with their 13th and 14th Gen, some 9***X3D series CPU boards with melting sockets, not everything is Perfect in Amd's corner.
You're right about the Intel chips, but they're just not great value, particually with the Arrow Lake chips. I currently daily a 13700K and it's a great CPU, albeit while consuming a ton of power.
I use my PC for schoolwork, not pretty much gaming besides some Mario Kart on Dolphin emulator occasionally. I chose Intel. Origionally I picked i7-13700KF, but as soon as I realized that 13th and 14th gen Intel are plagued by silicon degradation, I switched back to i7-12700K before Amazon shipped out the order. I paid just a little over $200 in the US for this Intel chip, which was slightly cheaper than the 13700KF. Its performance is a big upgrade compared to my old i7-6700, but it definitely pulls a big amount of electricity from the PSU during benchmarks and intensive loads. Also my case is Montech Air 100 with ARGB for my microATX build, it's got plenty of vents for fans, and it looks good as well. I prefer microATX over standard ATX due to their size and weight. Only downside to microATX cases is that you cannot vertically mount your GPU. Also the only complaint (for now) about my case is that it doesn't have a front USB-C port.
Nothing wrong with 14th Gen, just buy new. I recently got an 14600Kf, new, have it running stock with no issues (although it easily overclocks to 5.7Ghz on the P cores and 4.5Ghz on the E cores). The whole degradation issue was to do with increased voltages on motherboards, but newer bios's have fixed those issues and now the voltages are 100% running at Intel defaults. There was also a single bad batch of 13th gen chips that had oxidisation issues but those were able to be RMA'd back to Intel for a full refund.
@@mr.not.so.perfect.666 That's great to know. Now I don't have to feel hesitant to upgrade to a 14 gen intel in the future if I feel like doing so. I've also heard that Intel is planning to release Bartlett CPUs in the near future, and that will be a plus since it will make LGA1700 more futureproof.
i run a 7900xt with my good old 12600k im planning on upgrading to a 14700k just so i dont have to get rid of my asus rog mobo just yet ... would it be a better to go all the way am5 for a lot more money ??
Luckily, I just bought a used RX 6600 last month for like less than 200$. I just wanted to get a GPU that could perform well in 1080p with newer games
So, you still had some warranty for that?

Solid stuff man, glad to hear you're happy with it!

If u could , id love a video of u just building a pc no talking . Just cinematics only , that would be do goood 🔥 i love ur style regardless ❤

Undervolting is great, I got one on my 3080. Solid point mate
Cool video!

Still using the powercolor rx5700xt I picked up 2 years ago for 90 dollar locally.

yeah i changed 1060 gb to 3060 Ti used for 200 euro in Germany. More worth that new cards at this price
For 200 Euros, the 3060 Ti is a ssolid deal. Much better than a new 4060 imo
man a 14600k is better in gaming than a 5800x3d and 7600
But it also costs a lto more money and it's on a dead end platform. Not a bad chip if you can find it for a good price though
So I need to trash out my GTX 1660 super and replace RX 580?
No?

It's hard to call. Do you feel like you need an upgrade?
i have that cpu cooler on a 5600x, it's great.
The Thermalright Assassin?
I got a rx 7600 for $213, not bad I think
Good stuff...no such thing as too much Vram.
You know it mate. I wish Nvidia shared this sentiment
How is $250 for a 3080 FE? I just got it
Solid deal bro🫡
@ thank you!
I am upgrading from a laptop with 1660TI so big upgrade for me
I now need to build a relatively future proofed balanced PC aha
I spent $450 to get 3090 FE😂
I've noticed your accent but your use of dollars as a measurement of currency, don't need to answer but where the heck are you from haha
Maybe he is like PC centric and trying to appeal to the larger American audience.
The UK lol. I use USD most of the time because most of my audience is based in the States
