As an experienced builder, I still find these type of videos hugely beneficial. As to see what Paul recommends to what I recommend to friends and family. Both are very close. Thanks Mr Paul’s Hardware.
This just means that you're watching/collecting information from other UA-camrs to use their information given to the masses as your own to portray yourself just as/equal to/more than "knowledgeable" than the popular UA-camr.
I’m definitely in the beginner stage but luckily I have some close friends and family helping me out. In the process of buying parts and watching your videos as well as a few other UA-camrs I’m gaining lots of knowledge and insight.
Don’t make the classic amateur mistake of slowly buying parts to build a pc. Core hardware prices are always slightly volatile and generally depreciating. Buy your motherboard, cpu, video card and memory when you have all your parts to build your PC. Good luck.
Make sure u get the Amd 5800x3d cpu instead of 5600x. Trust me. U wont regret it even it is a bit more expensive. Other than that it is all fine in the video if u are budget builder. And for god sake, pls get a NVIDIA gpu if u are beginner. That save u alot of time in troubleshooting...lol
@ryanjofre My build already has speakers, an ssd with windows and a 4k monitor. Opting to build my own case using wood and plexiglass, all of which to save money. Goal is to put 400 into a cpu and 500 into a gpu
@@MrHowardc43 Well absolutely don't get NVidia either because that shit is worse. Because they can leave you with fucking random bullshit stutters for 7(!) years before it gets fixed with drivers. You gonna recommend Intel then? I'd recommend self harm before recommending Intel GPU right now.
I built my first PC a few weeks back... very similar if not the same as the begginner build. Important to define your objective from the start and stick to it in my case, i had 2 objectives - 1080p gaming with high/ultra details, 60 FPS stable - the GF approval on the budget Managed to get both and after building myself an entry level PC im beyond extactic and can confirm this is an excellent guide only made better by Paul's relaxed and friendly demener.
I've built around 10 to 12 systems over the years and only once did I have a doozy of a problem that it took me 3 weeks to figure out. So I'm intermediate in experience. Great video
1:06 The only thing I would change in the basic build is to add a 500GB M.2 drive for the OS and use the 1TB for data storage and applications. This would add $35.00 to the build. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a major upgrade down the line. 7:01 There are a lot of good reviews for the Gigabyte M27Q. Low end HDR displays use edge backlighting, not local dimming. You don't see many 34" ultrawide monitors, that are flat. 8:28 Buying two 16GB kits of 2 X 8Gb is only $10.00 more than one 2 X 16GB set. 10:10 Air > Water, less fuss. 12:30 Some people say this is more money than sense, other wound say it's a statement piece. I say if it makes you happy and you have the money, go for it. Air-cooling a i9-13900k may result in thermal throttling. If you want to take your build to level 4, incorporate a local artist you like, into it.
Mixing two 2x 8 GB kits might cause instability at XMP speeds - RAM not sold and packaged together have not been tested together and might have different dies.
@@KellyWu04 This is a very valid point but there are some caveats to it. The recommendations below are for DDR4 kits, never mix DDR5. 1. Don't mix kits from low tier vendors or the bottom of product stacks. 2. Don't mix ultra high speed kits. If you mix kits from a top rated manufacturers like G.Skill, Corsair and Crucial and keep the speed at or below 3600, you should be fine. I upgraded my system so many times, I ended up with 4 kits of 2 X 16GB at 3200 CL16. Slow by today's standard, but because they are a high end kits from G.Skill, I've never had a BSoD.
I take issue with the intro! Budget is NOT the first consideration. The first consideration is what you want your PC to do! Think about it: if all you want to do is play Fortnite, a budget of $4,000 for an elite high-end system might be an inappropriate budget for the system, even if you can afford it. Conversely, if you want a system that’s going to make you money, whether it’s number crunching, rendering, or for music production, you need to know that up front so your budget and part priorities reflect your needs. Also, it bares mentioning: if you’re building a PC purely for gaming and you have $600, and you either don’t know what you’re playing yet, or determine that the games you want to play are available on console, get a console! But if your intention is to do more with your computer, and waiting a few months will significantly increase your potential budget, wait the few months!
I just finished upgrading my system piece be piece and I ended choosing most of the same components in the budget build. I'm loving it so far. Good for 1440p gaming and even better for 1080p. Thanks for all the great videos.
For someone new looking into PC building? Level two makes most sense since you can upgrade the CPU down the line without needing a new motherboard. I went all in on level one with Intel when Alder Lake launched almost a year ago and it has been a great upgrade. Nothing like upgrading your setup finally after 6 years and noticing the performance bump :D
I am a level 3 on a budget :-) but not a fan of allot of RGB or water but my first build was a IBM 286 clone and been building my own and many others for friends and family for wow over 30 years and we have 4 gaming systems in my house right now LOL and my adult kids have 2 rooms set up so friends can bring there systems over for land parties just like we used to do even before my Daughter was born :-) and she is 20 now
I am so happy you havent fallen for the shorts crap yet! Finally a video in my notifications that is not a short so one i can actualy listen to and care about... Thank you.
I built my first gaming computer in July. Had the help of a friend who had a couple simple beginner builds under his belt. What started as a level 2 build quickly turned into a level 3 of research and planning, comparing, vertical mounts and clearence issues, hiding and modifying fans to make more fit, Corsair Icue and all the rgb goodness, redoing wires and tucking and hiding and zip tieing, undervolting overclocking etc etc.... now want to go for a full custom loop for the next build... It is fun to get in there and tinker a bit. Understand how it is connected and how it all works. Saves a bit of money and lets you fix stuff yourself which is rarer and rarer. Just wishing i had not gone am4 and rtx3000 series with all the new gen stuff coming out a few months later.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe going with 4x16 GB in the high end build at 16:18 will have difficulty reaching the advertised 6200 MT/s speeds. Users running 4 sticks of DDR5 usually have their speeds capped out at 4800 MT/s (or slightly higher with custom overclocking). Better to go with 2x32 GB, which can reach the advertised speeds and has better XMP/EXPO support. But I agree the build would look much more complete filling all 4 RAM slots.
The thing to also keep in mind is which limit are you more likely to hit first: Memory that is too slow or Out of Memory in general? My own experience has shown that having more memory even if slightly slower than what I could get otherwise is more useful considering all the background tasks that modern rigs have running.
Would love to see something in the 2.5 range. A top end gaming PC (something that can do 4k at 120/144hz with top titles) but without going *super* crazy on the bells and whistles.
@vlken69 in my area you can pretty regularly get a 4090 for 1.6k-1.7k. The whole idea came from him mentioning in the video that you could scale certain things back like the mobo, aio etc. So I'm curious just how much can you reasonably scale back and still play top of the line. 500$? 1000$?
@@vitharr23-old You can reach the $500 breakpoint just from picking reasonable AIO and MOBO. Another reduction from CPU and RAM because i9 with 64 gigs is kinda overkill for pure gaming. 6 TB of SSDs too, if you're fine with 2 TB PCIe 3.0 (which is slower only in benchmarks and huge file transfers), that's pretty good price reduction too. 1000W gold PSU, decent case for half of the price etc. I guess you can fit the build under $1500 + GPU.
Love your videos, keep it going and I think you have assending to greatness in displaying your knowlege of excel and truely showing us mere mortals there is a use for Pie Charts nowadays.
I really like this type of video! It is nice to see ways of upgrading without breaking the piggy bank. It helps that you show compatible parts and smart ways to bring out the best in my P.C.
The LCD screen thing is super cool and sets PCs apart from consoles more and its nice to make sure stuff is working correctly without running through programs.
for the level 2 build, i personally spend 100$ more for the rx 6800, which can be had for 480$ on newegg, and this would keep up with the 7700x much better than the 6700xt/3060ti at 1440p, with the few extra gb of vram allowing for very high resolution textures for years to come
A 3060 ti seems too weak for what you have in your level 2 setup. I was eyeing that card for awhile but I ended up going with AMD instead. A 6800. Very good card for 1440p 144hz gaming. Also, I appreciate your monitor selection. Lots of variety and good specs.
Nice choice on that specific Zotac 3060 Ti I have used it in a number of builds or the white variant. It awesome that its not the size of a small pet, like a cat.
For gaming only, Level 2. Once you go beyond that, you start to see diminishing returns on performance vs. money spent. You can maximize value or you can maximize performance, but not both. I like value.
I consider myself somewhere in the middle. I'm glad you're keeping an eye on the market because it was interesting to see what you put together. Right now, I'm just considering throwing a 5800X3d in my AM4 computer but I'm not in a hurry. I really want to see how the new X3d cpus bench before I decide for sure what to do :)
I feel like the Intel Arc 750 GPU deserves a shout in the level 1 build. At $250 after the recent price drop, along with a nice boost to DX9 games in the most recent drivers, it punches above its weight for the price/performance.
Maybe this comment might get seen maybe not. But I'm trying to find a video cuz I'm a very beginner, but I feel like I'm asking a good question that most people don't realize should be asked. Or maybe I'm just an idiot and don't realize that that doesn't matter. But I would like to know the order of when you buy certain parts. What should you be looking for in order? I feel like maybe you should buy a case that you like and figure out if everything's going to fit in that case because all parts are made differently if I'm not mistaken.
I love these kind of videos because I am a complete noob. I hope to one day be able to build my own PC, and I am saving some of your videos, so I can easily refer back to them.
Awesome video Paul! Only thing I would add for gaming is an addition of a racing wheel for simulation racing. People are really missing out if your pc gaming and have not experienced this!!!! 😁
Proud owner of 4k+ system here. I do have the sane IAO and I love it, I got great deal on it paid less than 165 by buying older version and LCD upgrade separately have spare parts to sell now and that's how we roll) part by part and and couple years later PC costs as much as a car but I love it
Built my first PC a few months ago in the level 3 group. Hardest part was building in the Jonsplus i100 Pro case. It's a very good case, similar to the Loque Ghost, but much larger. Took me from late morning to after sundown to get it all together... and then it wouldn't turn on. Turns out I had incorrectly wired the IO panel. In retrospect I think I would have gone with a Define 7, but I appreciate the experience of building in a non-standard case right off the bat. I think I learned a lot more.
For level one: The MSI Pro B550M-VC for $120 or so is a great motherboard. It even has WiFi 6E. For level two: I’ll recommend prioritizing the GPU over the CPU. 5600 + 6800 will be faster than 7700X + 6700 XT in almost every game, especially at 1440P. 14:05 Don’t use four sticks of DDR5. Both Intel and AMD’s DDR5-compatible CPUs struggle to run four sticks of DDR5 at 5000 MT/s or faster. Just use two sticks and run those at their rates XMP speeds.
Got mine a while ago and while I don't have enough gpu to run it over 1080p very often its been great. I was a little worried it wouldn't be sharp enough, but it is and the colors look great.
Could you please do a complete custom water loop build, including CPU block & installing duel active water plated on RTX4090 GPU, video? And given the heat from Pcie5 SSDs it would be nice to include a M.2 active water block as well. Include what to buy & then actually put it all together on camera? Thanks Paul!
Think I'd have gone with the non-X CPUs... 65W and cheaper with most of the power? Can't beat that. Love that the price range went ballistic on the high-end build... those are more than the sum of their parts and get silly very fast.
Happily staying at lvl 2, Paul. The price to performance ratio drops dramatically at lvl 3. As a budget builder which focus solely on gaming I can't in my right mind go to lvl 3.
I'd love specs for a relatively high-end PC but I really don't care for all the lighting. Just want to play FPS's and possibly work from home. $2750 - $3000 range and pretty future proof. I know there are certain things I want, minimum 32g ram, a lot of storage. I've built PC's before but it's been a while. Like 2010, LOL and things have changed.
Planning on building a gaming PC for my fianceé (she plays the Sims, so she's gonna need some hefty hardware) I was able to use the micro center PC builder, find products that are similar to the ones in this video, and get mouse & keyboard bundle and decent budget monitor. Everything under $1,000
For memory, you wouldn't want to buy two 32GB kits. You would want to buy one 64GB kit. RAM is finicky and two kits may not work together, even if they're the same kit. It's best to check the motherboard's QVL to see what kits it supports.
Paul, what would be a lifespan for a all in one liquid cooler? Should a person just wait for it to fail or should it be replaced at certain intervals? Thanks for the great videos.
Tier 3 builder, definitely. My current build is somewhere between a tightly-packed optimized machine and a work of art. Every time I sit down in front of it, I go "aw yeah, that's my baby."
i feel as though i will be joining you shortly. today 2/8, my final pieces to my i9-12900k 3060 ti build arrive (i do understand i could’ve spent more on gpu but prices are gauged to all hell right now) just wanted someone to talk to about it bc none of my friends are into pc building
I think you have it backwards at 6:57 in this video. Any GSYNC monitor is compatible with Freesync but not every Freesync monitor supports GSYNC. My AOC 24" gaming monitor only supports Freesync.
would you upgrade a 3700x to say a 5800x3d or just wait and build a new system? for contexts i have a gtx 1080 with a 1080p 144hz monitor all other components standard b450 mb 16gigs 8x2 at 3200 500gig m.2 os and 1.5 tb hdd 600w psu. edit i thought i was going to play more games,k but i really try games out then just watch you guys on youtube.
I had a 3700x, then 5800x, now 5800X3D... and for very specific games, the 5800X3D would see a boost, but overall, with a 1080... I'd say you're good as-is. Just enjoy playing (or watching 😆).
I've built around 20 PC's. 3 (or 4 very soon) for myself and others to my friends. I still think I'm not expert with these. There's so many little nuances when building a PC and picking the parts. In a week I'll build my first SFF build (GPU and M.2 SSDs are from old build). There'll probably be some finicky things but I figure 'em out during the building. I think that's the best way to learn, at least for me. Of course, I wouldn't recommend the absolute beginner to just jump blindly in the world of PC building. There's so many great guides to get started nowdays.
For me I've been slowly learning about different components.. more the mid range builds and am4 socket because it's more affordable and still decent for gaming. But I looked at already built PC specs to get an idea of what's compatible with what. And went with a b550 motherboard. Ryzen 5 5600, rtx 4070 super. 850w GPU. Mid size case. An air cooler, that added up to $1700 for me.
Been building PCs since about 1999-2000. I plan everything out a few months in advance going over many reviews before I pick my parts. 😁One more thing I'm using a sound card , the Sound Blaster AE-7 cause board audio still can't compete with a dedicated card.
Getting ready to buy my 5th PC . Just bit the bullet and upgrading to AM5 tomorrow when my case gets in. Decided to go with a 7900x and 7900xt on a ASUS rog strix B650e-I gaming Wi-Fi with 2 firecuda 530 gskill flare x-5 6000 thrown into a coolermaster nr200p max. Can’t wait to put this together. Just not looking forward to tinkering with the memory.
I've been building for 20 years now and 1 thing I never cheap out on is the PSU. Most quality psu's will last 10+ years and a higher wattage gives you more expansion options.
most excellent video, totally enjoy your comments and suggestions. I for one use your recommendations when shopping and purchasing various PC components. But may I mention one thing...when mentioning PC cases and their benefits bloggers always mention the number of fans, or what pretty aesthetics the box has, etc but hardly never mention whither the recommended case has dust filters over the openings or not? As a builder I'm one who doesn't really care wither the case fans are all in colored sync...my biggest concern and what I end up purchasing is how the case handles dust. If you think of it in the future can you please add these recommendations and wither your reviewed/suggested cases handles or protects against dust buildup and cleaning? Again thank you for the highest quality videos and content on the planet! Cheers.
I think Jay posted a video on "what to do after building your computer" and part of it contains instructions on the bios. He also has some in depth videos on using graphics drivers.
I spent 2700 Euro on my latest build that I now have for about a week or so, and it's the perfect pc build for what I want to do with it, I have no regrets so I consider myself an expert because I always build the perfect pc specially tailored to the person I'm building for. And none of them come back because of issues they always came back for more.
I think people would probably say I'm in the 3rd group, but I actually consider myself to be in the second group, I just build in stages. In 2018 I decided I was going to build a new system to do contract render work from home while taking care of my ailing mother. I wanted to get back into building CLC systems, so I planned all my parts around eventually switching from air cooled to liquid cooled after upgrading when the next CPUs and GPUs came out. I'm fairly sensitive to fan noise so I went with a Lian Li O11D XL case to fit my NH-D14 with some extra fans and switch to 3 triple fan rads so they can run at low speeds and keep the 3950X and RTX 2080, and whatever their upgrades would be, cool, an ASUS ROG Crosshair mobo that had a monoblock available from EK, and SL120 fans from Lian Li that would make cable routing simpler. I've upgraded to the 5800X3D since I'm not doing render contracts anymore and a 3080 when it was available at MSR a year ago, and I have the waterblocks, rads, pump/res, tubing, and coolant, but the compression fittings are back ordered.
Really cool concept for a video. I'm firmly in like level 2.5 although I want the best deals I can find, so I routinely purchase some used parts to keep costs down. I like to upgrade every year-ish but with a lag of 1ish years on the platform. Also, no RGB, thank you.
So far all my PCs have been boring AIO builds. Currently going into water cooling as I’ve just bought two WBs and four rads from EK. Still doing research though. Don’t want to mess up lol.
I think I would lean towards the level 2 build if I was building now. But although I know it's not high performance, the Intel ARC cards have my attention at the moment. Tired of being price gouged and their drivers have improved a lot.
If you are serious about AM5 check out B650E motherboards. They have PCIe 5 x 16 for GPUs where B650 only has PCIe 4 x 16. GPUs don't need it YET but that would mean the B650E will last longer for not a lot more cost.
I am intermediate at PC Building. I could be an expert at choosing parts and putting them together, but, I also am not comfortable doing the super in depth setup stuff. Even though I can set up my own custom windows install
Following the "expert" example, I have decided to adopt a 1TB kitten, and wait patiently until it grows into a 30TB housecat. Not sure where the cables go, though. Kinda scared to find out.
should be worth a mention in this series that whichever system youre building you need to check the motherboards qualified vendor list to make sure the memory will work. or at least thats what i shouldve done with my z570 taichi cause it does not like my crucial memory running the xmp profile. you might have to overclock it yourself if you dont check the list. running without the xmp works fine. its a pain trying to manually overclock it. programs suggested by others put out values it didnt like either.
'expert' here, for beginners, benchmarks and keeping somewhat up to date are helpful to find out relative performance, so you can recognise a good deal or how 'powerful' your machine should be. Building is easier and more straightforward than figuring what tier of parts you should get..Level skill has nothing to do with the tier of parts you build, its about getting the best value/for your needs
I am building very close to the high end build. I am looking for a 4k monitor. What screen would you take, with my "demands" below. - No curved - >144 hrz, OC 160 is great. - < 1 Ms - Real 4k at least, otherwise I think it's a waste of my 4090. - >32" - DisplayHDR >600 - At least Gsync compatible I wish there was a QD Oled with these specs right now...
I feel like my knowledge on parts is somewhere between beginner and intermediate, but my experience in actually building anything is definitely at beginner levels. I already have a PC, so my hope is that I can upgrade some of my components in the not too distant future at least. I'll only be gaming at 1080p, so I'll still likely be keeping to the "beginner" type build like you have laid out here. I need to do a little bit more research into various parts, but it seems like my CPU should be fine for now (Ryzen 3600), but I almost certainly need to upgrade my GPU in the near future (1650 Super) due to the only 4 gigs of VRAM it has currently. I also need to upgrade my RAM from 16 gigs to 32, but my question there is whether I should just go ahead and get two more 8 gig sticks, or if I should go with two 16 gig sticks (since it can be done for around $80 currently) and then just sell my current RAM on ebay or something (probably get about $35-$40 for them based on others asking prices). Of course, I'd also love to get an nvme (my mobo has two slots for nvme at least) of at least 1TB...but I'm disabled and my income is very limited because of that. I wish I could manage to work even just part time, but alas, my body will not allow it.
Oh, and I'm actually happy with my current peripherals tbh. I have a 24 inch ASUS 75hz IPS (I think it was around $140 when I got it) monitor, so at least a bit better than the standard 60hz models. I have a fairly cheap wireless Red Dragon gaming mouse (it was only $15 on sale and much better than my old mouse) and I recently upgraded my keyboard from a cheap membrane one to a Tezarre Mechanical with Gateron Optical black switches. I know it's not the best keyboard out there but man, oh man, the improvement over my old membrane keyboard is amazing, and it was only about $30! It's also hot swappable, so there is room to improve it down the road. (I like the feel, sound, and speed of these optical blacks though)...
Assuming you're not streaming or doing much or any background work. If I was you I would not waste a cent on ram right now. It appears to be a sheeple thing where everyone moves up to 32. I know there's one AAA title recommending 32 gb ram but reality is everyone's fine for years with 16. And the more important aspect at present is likely the ram speed, not so much the amount. Save all your money for a GPU, and get best possible, then do other stuff because ......... the GPU can go forward for a decade, but not much else will ( exception case, fans, psu), including new RAM.
This whole video is level one: Level 1: follow a quality build guide like this video Level 2: read component reviews, select components with knowledge of your specific games / applications, performance targets and bottlenecks. Level 3: consider buying used, flipping your used parts. Have a vague awareness of product roadmaps / release cycles and a multi-year upgrade plan for each subsystem. Case mod. Moonlight old parts as DIY projects (HTPC, router, NAS). Turn off your RGB and behold the beauty of the night sky
I'm not a beginner, but not an enlightened master either. We're all learners. I consider myself fully proficient at choosing parts for a balanced gaming system, but since current generation graphics cards are all stupidly expensive, I built my new "Black Friday 2022" gaming PC a bit out of balance: 13700K, 64GB of DDR5, Taichi Z690 board, two 2TB Gen 4 NVMe SSDs, and a 6800XT. I used some parts I already had on hand: Corsair Air 540 case, H115i cooler, a pair of WD Black 2TB spinning HDDs for local archiving, a 1000W Platinum PSU from EVGA, a Corsair Strafe keyboard, and my old favorite G502 mouse. I added a Gigabyte M32U 144Hz IPS 4K display. This system has more RAM and storage than it needs, and it probably should have a 4080 or 7900XTX. Maybe it will get one or the other soon; I'm watching prices.
Great video..I was really hoping there was a 2k-2500 build that would be considered level 3. Maybe with a 4080 . I don't care about rgb or custom liquid cooling, maybe just an aio. 1440 at 120hz seems to be great. I just want a nice case with good cooling and good performance. Any thoughts on something between level 2 and 3?
Can you please advise the ideal GPU options for my PC? my pc: ryzen 5900x, 64 RAM, 4k display resolution. I choose a GPU for video editing and playing new games, ideally in 4k, but it is also good in 2560x1440px
Price focus is good and all, but what about brand reliability. Is paying a little more for Asus for example from Gigabyte or MSI worth it or not? Hardware site never talk about whether prices for products are justified
Rumor has it that if you build the Level 1 system Wendell from Level 1 techs appears
A tech legend worth believing.
you have to perform the summoning ritual though
You have to build it, turn off the lights, look in the mirror, and reboot your router 3 times.

1:06 The only thing I would change in the basic build is to add a 500GB M.2 drive for the OS and use the 1TB for data storage and applications. This would add $35.00 to the build. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a major upgrade down the line.
7:01 There are a lot of good reviews for the Gigabyte M27Q. Low end HDR displays use edge backlighting, not local dimming. You don't see many 34" ultrawide monitors, that are flat.
8:28 Buying two 16GB kits of 2 X 8Gb is only $10.00 more than one 2 X 16GB set.
10:10 Air > Water, less fuss.
12:30 Some people say this is more money than sense, other wound say it's a statement piece. I say if it makes you happy and you have the money, go for it. Air-cooling a i9-13900k may result in thermal throttling.
If you want to take your build to level 4, incorporate a local artist you like, into it.
Mixing two 2x 8 GB kits might cause instability at XMP speeds - RAM not sold and packaged together have not been tested together and might have different dies.
@@KellyWu04 This is a very valid point but there are some caveats to it. The recommendations below are for DDR4 kits, never mix DDR5.
1. Don't mix kits from low tier vendors or the bottom of product stacks.
2. Don't mix ultra high speed kits.
If you mix kits from a top rated manufacturers like G.Skill, Corsair and Crucial and keep the speed at or below 3600, you should be fine.
I upgraded my system so many times, I ended up with 4 kits of 2 X 16GB at 3200 CL16. Slow by today's standard, but because they are a high end kits from G.Skill, I've never had a BSoD.

I take issue with the intro! Budget is NOT the first consideration. The first consideration is what you want your PC to do! Think about it: if all you want to do is play Fortnite, a budget of $4,000 for an elite high-end system might be an inappropriate budget for the system, even if you can afford it. Conversely, if you want a system that’s going to make you money, whether it’s number crunching, rendering, or for music production, you need to know that up front so your budget and part priorities reflect your needs. Also, it bares mentioning: if you’re building a PC purely for gaming and you have $600, and you either don’t know what you’re playing yet, or determine that the games you want to play are available on console, get a console! But if your intention is to do more with your computer, and waiting a few months will significantly increase your potential budget, wait the few months!
IKR!
My kids wants to play Roblox. Cost is no object.
13900ks/RTX4090 it is then!! 😆
@@jasonhurdlow6607what do you do for work bud?
@Knownothinelse That was sarcasm. My kids do have solid PCs, but not that solid! 😄 They've outgrown Roblox anyway. I'm a software developer.
I love the way you talk. Everything is concise enough where you don't lose interest but still has all the info you need
Advanced builder, building systems starting with an 80286. Love your approach to guiding the community!
Thanks Astro Canuck! this one is probably a bit below your skill level 😅
Z80 or nuthin'
Remember to add a 80287 too!
I just finished upgrading my system piece be piece and I ended choosing most of the same components in the budget build. I'm loving it so far. Good for 1440p gaming and even better for 1080p. Thanks for all the great videos.
For someone new looking into PC building? Level two makes most sense since you can upgrade the CPU down the line without needing a new motherboard. I went all in on level one with Intel when Alder Lake launched almost a year ago and it has been a great upgrade. Nothing like upgrading your setup finally after 6 years and noticing the performance bump :D
Just the type of content I want to see from you, good work Paul! Please post such vids monthly with updates reflecting the current pc marketplace!
I just built my 2nd high end PC and I still watched your 2019 build series to help me! You’re the GOAT!
Paul coming in like a champ with recommendations as I'm looking to upgrade. I love this channel
Finally a video that shows where the budget should go. That's all I really wanted to know. Lol.
I am a level 3 on a budget :-) but not a fan of allot of RGB or water but my first build was a IBM 286 clone and been building my own and many others for friends and family for wow over 30 years and we have 4 gaming systems in my house right now LOL and my adult kids have 2 rooms set up so friends can bring there systems over for land parties just like we used to do even before my Daughter was born :-) and she is 20 now
We started with a 386. My first full build was a Pentium 90
I am so happy you havent fallen for the shorts crap yet! Finally a video in my notifications that is not a short so one i can actualy listen to and care about... Thank you.
I feel like you left out level 2.5 . 13700k 4080 1tb nvme 750 watt psu 32gb dd4 cheap z790 motherboard $2200-2400 ak620 air cooler
I built my first gaming computer in July. Had the help of a friend who had a couple simple beginner builds under his belt. What started as a level 2 build quickly turned into a level 3 of research and planning, comparing, vertical mounts and clearence issues, hiding and modifying fans to make more fit, Corsair Icue and all the rgb goodness, redoing wires and tucking and hiding and zip tieing, undervolting overclocking etc etc.... now want to go for a full custom loop for the next build... It is fun to get in there and tinker a bit. Understand how it is connected and how it all works. Saves a bit of money and lets you fix stuff yourself which is rarer and rarer. Just wishing i had not gone am4 and rtx3000 series with all the new gen stuff coming out a few months later.
Thank you again for explaining your thinking process, I really appreciate it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe going with 4x16 GB in the high end build at 16:18 will have difficulty reaching the advertised 6200 MT/s speeds. Users running 4 sticks of DDR5 usually have their speeds capped out at 4800 MT/s (or slightly higher with custom overclocking). Better to go with 2x32 GB, which can reach the advertised speeds and has better XMP/EXPO support.
But I agree the build would look much more complete filling all 4 RAM slots.
The thing to also keep in mind is which limit are you more likely to hit first: Memory that is too slow or Out of Memory in general?
My own experience has shown that having more memory even if slightly slower than what I could get otherwise is more useful considering all the background tasks that modern rigs have running.
saw your shirt in this video, fell in love, got two shirts through the store. stay classy mi amigo.
Would love to see something in the 2.5 range. A top end gaming PC (something that can do 4k at 120/144hz with top titles) but without going *super* crazy on the bells and whistles.
Good luck finding good deals when you most probably need a 4090 (which is around the ~2.5k breakpoint itself) to meet your 4K144 requirement.
Become a thief and rob the parts.
You are asking Asking for the best of the best. But you don't want to spend money 🤣.
@vlken69 in my area you can pretty regularly get a 4090 for 1.6k-1.7k. The whole idea came from him mentioning in the video that you could scale certain things back like the mobo, aio etc. So I'm curious just how much can you reasonably scale back and still play top of the line. 500$? 1000$?
@@vitharr23-old You can reach the $500 breakpoint just from picking reasonable AIO and MOBO. Another reduction from CPU and RAM because i9 with 64 gigs is kinda overkill for pure gaming. 6 TB of SSDs too, if you're fine with 2 TB PCIe 3.0 (which is slower only in benchmarks and huge file transfers), that's pretty good price reduction too. 1000W gold PSU, decent case for half of the price etc. I guess you can fit the build under $1500 + GPU.
Love your videos, keep it going and I think you have assending to greatness in displaying your knowlege of excel and truely showing us mere mortals there is a use for Pie Charts nowadays.
I really like this type of video! It is nice to see ways of upgrading without breaking the piggy bank. It helps that you show compatible parts and smart ways to bring out the best in my P.C.
The LCD screen thing is super cool and sets PCs apart from consoles more and its nice to make sure stuff is working correctly without running through programs.
for the level 2 build, i personally spend 100$ more for the rx 6800, which can be had for 480$ on newegg, and this would keep up with the 7700x much better than the 6700xt/3060ti at 1440p, with the few extra gb of vram allowing for very high resolution textures for years to come
A 3060 ti seems too weak for what you have in your level 2 setup. I was eyeing that card for awhile but I ended up going with AMD instead. A 6800. Very good card for 1440p 144hz gaming.
Also, I appreciate your monitor selection. Lots of variety and good specs.
Been building computers for over 20 years.....still doesn't gets old. Good videos Paul!
thank you for doing these with such high frequency.
Nice choice on that specific Zotac 3060 Ti I have used it in a number of builds or the white variant. It awesome that its not the size of a small pet, like a cat.
For gaming only, Level 2. Once you go beyond that, you start to see diminishing returns on performance vs. money spent. You can maximize value or you can maximize performance, but not both. I like value.
I consider myself somewhere in the middle. I'm glad you're keeping an eye on the market because it was interesting to see what you put together.
Right now, I'm just considering throwing a 5800X3d in my AM4 computer but I'm not in a hurry. I really want to see how the new X3d cpus bench before I decide for sure what to do :)
Sticking to AM4. I am definitely a level 3 setup but without the LED...I rather spend the money on functionality rather than bling.
i really enjoy your delivery... even without the innuendos from the news episodes😅
I feel like the Intel Arc 750 GPU deserves a shout in the level 1 build. At $250 after the recent price drop, along with a nice boost to DX9 games in the most recent drivers, it punches above its weight for the price/performance.
Maybe this comment might get seen maybe not. But I'm trying to find a video cuz I'm a very beginner, but I feel like I'm asking a good question that most people don't realize should be asked. Or maybe I'm just an idiot and don't realize that that doesn't matter. But I would like to know the order of when you buy certain parts. What should you be looking for in order? I feel like maybe you should buy a case that you like and figure out if everything's going to fit in that case because all parts are made differently if I'm not mistaken.
I love these kind of videos because I am a complete noob. I hope to one day be able to build my own PC, and I am saving some of your videos, so I can easily refer back to them.
Awesome video Paul! Only thing I would add for gaming is an addition of a racing wheel for simulation racing. People are really missing out if your pc gaming and have not experienced this!!!! 😁
Waiting for X3D reviews, then will make my decisions on next upgrade path. Im thinking 7900X3D and 7900XTX.
Proud owner of 4k+ system here. I do have the sane IAO and I love it, I got great deal on it paid less than 165 by buying older version and LCD upgrade separately have spare parts to sell now and that's how we roll) part by part and and couple years later PC costs as much as a car but I love it
This video comes at a good time. I need a new computer and am considering building a new one. This will be my first build.
Built my first PC a few months ago in the level 3 group. Hardest part was building in the Jonsplus i100 Pro case. It's a very good case, similar to the Loque Ghost, but much larger. Took me from late morning to after sundown to get it all together... and then it wouldn't turn on. Turns out I had incorrectly wired the IO panel. In retrospect I think I would have gone with a Define 7, but I appreciate the experience of building in a non-standard case right off the bat. I think I learned a lot more.
PC part tier list when!? (This channel is S tier!)
For level one: The MSI Pro B550M-VC for $120 or so is a great motherboard. It even has WiFi 6E.
For level two: I’ll recommend prioritizing the GPU over the CPU. 5600 + 6800 will be faster than 7700X + 6700 XT in almost every game, especially at 1440P.
14:05 Don’t use four sticks of DDR5. Both Intel and AMD’s DDR5-compatible CPUs struggle to run four sticks of DDR5 at 5000 MT/s or faster. Just use two sticks and run those at their rates XMP speeds.
LG Ultragear 32”, 1440, 165Hz on sale at Costco rn for $229.
Got mine a while ago and while I don't have enough gpu to run it over 1080p very often its been great. I was a little worried it wouldn't be sharp enough, but it is and the colors look great.
Could you please do a complete custom water loop build, including CPU block & installing duel active water plated on RTX4090 GPU, video? And given the heat from Pcie5 SSDs it would be nice to include a M.2 active water block as well. Include what to buy & then actually put it all together on camera? Thanks Paul!
Think I'd have gone with the non-X CPUs... 65W and cheaper with most of the power? Can't beat that. Love that the price range went ballistic on the high-end build... those are more than the sum of their parts and get silly very fast.
Congrats, Paul. Your subscriber count currently matches high capacity floppy disks.
Happily staying at lvl 2, Paul. The price to performance ratio drops dramatically at lvl 3. As a budget builder which focus solely on gaming I can't in my right mind go to lvl 3.
Paul: you should dedicate 40% of your budget to your graphics card
Me: allocates 20% of my budget to a budget card from 2017
I'd love specs for a relatively high-end PC but I really don't care for all the lighting. Just want to play FPS's and possibly work from home. $2750 - $3000 range and pretty future proof. I know there are certain things I want, minimum 32g ram, a lot of storage. I've built PC's before but it's been a while. Like 2010, LOL and things have changed.
Planning on building a gaming PC for my fianceé (she plays the Sims, so she's gonna need some hefty hardware)
I was able to use the micro center PC builder, find products that are similar to the ones in this video, and get mouse & keyboard bundle and decent budget monitor. Everything under $1,000
Going for the Level 3 .. waiting for parts to come in to fill up my Cooler master HAF 700 EVO.
For memory, you wouldn't want to buy two 32GB kits. You would want to buy one 64GB kit. RAM is finicky and two kits may not work together, even if they're the same kit. It's best to check the motherboard's QVL to see what kits it supports.
Paul, what would be a lifespan for a all in one liquid cooler? Should a person just wait for it to fail or should it be replaced at certain intervals?
Thanks for the great videos.
Good question. I had the same dilemma and decided to go with air cooler.
Tier 3 builder, definitely. My current build is somewhere between a tightly-packed optimized machine and a work of art. Every time I sit down in front of it, I go "aw yeah, that's my baby."
i feel as though i will be joining you shortly. today 2/8, my final pieces to my i9-12900k 3060 ti build arrive (i do understand i could’ve spent more on gpu but prices are gauged to all hell right now) just wanted someone to talk to about it bc none of my friends are into pc building
You can find a lot of decent high refresh monitors at good prices today!
I think you have it backwards at 6:57 in this video. Any GSYNC monitor is compatible with Freesync but not every Freesync monitor supports GSYNC. My AOC 24" gaming monitor only supports Freesync.
would you upgrade a 3700x to say a 5800x3d or just wait and build a new system? for contexts i have a gtx 1080 with a 1080p 144hz monitor all other components standard b450 mb 16gigs 8x2 at 3200 500gig m.2 os and 1.5 tb hdd 600w psu. edit i thought i was going to play more games,k but i really try games out then just watch you guys on youtube.
I had a 3700x, then 5800x, now 5800X3D... and for very specific games, the 5800X3D would see a boost, but overall, with a 1080... I'd say you're good as-is. Just enjoy playing (or watching 😆).
@@jasonhurdlow6607 thanks man
You always do gaming PC builds. How about a CAD or video editing workstation?
As usual Paul, ON POINT.
I've built around 20 PC's. 3 (or 4 very soon) for myself and others to my friends. I still think I'm not expert with these. There's so many little nuances when building a PC and picking the parts. In a week I'll build my first SFF build (GPU and M.2 SSDs are from old build). There'll probably be some finicky things but I figure 'em out during the building. I think that's the best way to learn, at least for me.
Of course, I wouldn't recommend the absolute beginner to just jump blindly in the world of PC building. There's so many great guides to get started nowdays.
For me I've been slowly learning about different components.. more the mid range builds and am4 socket because it's more affordable and still decent for gaming. But I looked at already built PC specs to get an idea of what's compatible with what. And went with a b550 motherboard. Ryzen 5 5600, rtx 4070 super. 850w GPU. Mid size case. An air cooler, that added up to $1700 for me.
Been building PCs since about 1999-2000. I plan everything out a few months in advance going over many reviews before I pick my parts. 😁One more thing I'm using a sound card , the Sound Blaster AE-7 cause board audio still can't compete with a dedicated card.
Getting ready to buy my 5th PC . Just bit the bullet and upgrading to AM5 tomorrow when my case gets in. Decided to go with a 7900x and 7900xt on a ASUS rog strix B650e-I gaming Wi-Fi with 2 firecuda 530 gskill flare x-5 6000 thrown into a coolermaster nr200p max. Can’t wait to put this together. Just not looking forward to tinkering with the memory.
I've been building for 20 years now and 1 thing I never cheap out on is the PSU. Most quality psu's will last 10+ years and a higher wattage gives you more expansion options.
most excellent video, totally enjoy your comments and suggestions. I for one use your recommendations when shopping and purchasing various PC components. But may I mention one thing...when mentioning PC cases and their benefits bloggers always mention the number of fans, or what pretty aesthetics the box has, etc but hardly never mention whither the recommended case has dust filters over the openings or not? As a builder I'm one who doesn't really care wither the case fans are all in colored sync...my biggest concern and what I end up purchasing is how the case handles dust. If you think of it in the future can you please add these recommendations and wither your reviewed/suggested cases handles or protects against dust buildup and cleaning? Again thank you for the highest quality videos and content on the planet! Cheers.
Thanks for all this great info, Paul!
I have the 34in ultrawide version of the HP 27 inch monitor and I love it. Thinking about picking up the 27 to add to my set up.
Level 3 builder day 1 🤘
Would love to see a general and more in-depth guides to bios setup Paul. See plenty of build videos on UA-cam but few good bios guides.
I think Jay posted a video on "what to do after building your computer" and part of it contains instructions on the bios. He also has some in depth videos on using graphics drivers.
I spent 2700 Euro on my latest build that I now have for about a week or so, and it's the perfect pc build for what I want to do with it, I have no regrets so I consider myself an expert because I always build the perfect pc specially tailored to the person I'm building for.
And none of them come back because of issues they always came back for more.
Great episode 👏
I think people would probably say I'm in the 3rd group, but I actually consider myself to be in the second group, I just build in stages.
In 2018 I decided I was going to build a new system to do contract render work from home while taking care of my ailing mother. I wanted to get back into building CLC systems, so I planned all my parts around eventually switching from air cooled to liquid cooled after upgrading when the next CPUs and GPUs came out.
I'm fairly sensitive to fan noise so I went with a Lian Li O11D XL case to fit my NH-D14 with some extra fans and switch to 3 triple fan rads so they can run at low speeds and keep the 3950X and RTX 2080, and whatever their upgrades would be, cool, an ASUS ROG Crosshair mobo that had a monoblock available from EK, and SL120 fans from Lian Li that would make cable routing simpler.
I've upgraded to the 5800X3D since I'm not doing render contracts anymore and a 3080 when it was available at MSR a year ago, and I have the waterblocks, rads, pump/res, tubing, and coolant, but the compression fittings are back ordered.
Really cool concept for a video. I'm firmly in like level 2.5 although I want the best deals I can find, so I routinely purchase some used parts to keep costs down. I like to upgrade every year-ish but with a lag of 1ish years on the platform. Also, no RGB, thank you.
So far all my PCs have been boring AIO builds. Currently going into water cooling as I’ve just bought two WBs and four rads from EK. Still doing research though. Don’t want to mess up lol.
Most excellent stuff 👍
Level 3 baby!!!! The only way!! Love my Asus Strix 4090! Just need to pair a couple of QD-OLED panels with it!
I think I would lean towards the level 2 build if I was building now. But although I know it's not high performance, the Intel ARC cards have my attention at the moment. Tired of being price gouged and their drivers have improved a lot.
If you are serious about AM5 check out B650E motherboards. They have PCIe 5 x 16 for GPUs where B650 only has PCIe 4 x 16. GPUs don't need it YET but that would mean the B650E will last longer for not a lot more cost.
I am intermediate at PC Building. I could be an expert at choosing parts and putting them together, but, I also am not comfortable doing the super in depth setup stuff. Even though I can set up my own custom windows install
Thanks for this well done and informative video.
Following the "expert" example, I have decided to adopt a 1TB kitten, and wait patiently until it grows into a 30TB housecat. Not sure where the cables go, though. Kinda scared to find out.
should be worth a mention in this series that whichever system youre building you need to check the motherboards qualified vendor list to make sure the memory will work. or at least thats what i shouldve done with my z570 taichi cause it does not like my crucial memory running the xmp profile. you might have to overclock it yourself if you dont check the list. running without the xmp works fine. its a pain trying to manually overclock it. programs suggested by others put out values it didnt like either.
'expert' here, for beginners, benchmarks and keeping somewhat up to date are helpful to find out relative performance, so you can recognise a good deal or how 'powerful' your machine should be. Building is easier and more straightforward than figuring what tier of parts you should get..Level skill has nothing to do with the tier of parts you build, its about getting the best value/for your needs
I like the new intro
I am building very close to the high end build. I am looking for a 4k monitor. What screen would you take, with my "demands" below.
- No curved
- >144 hrz, OC 160 is great.
- < 1 Ms
- Real 4k at least, otherwise I think it's a waste of my 4090.
- >32"
- DisplayHDR >600
- At least Gsync compatible
I wish there was a QD Oled with these specs right now...
I feel like my knowledge on parts is somewhere between beginner and intermediate, but my experience in actually building anything is definitely at beginner levels. I already have a PC, so my hope is that I can upgrade some of my components in the not too distant future at least. I'll only be gaming at 1080p, so I'll still likely be keeping to the "beginner" type build like you have laid out here. I need to do a little bit more research into various parts, but it seems like my CPU should be fine for now (Ryzen 3600), but I almost certainly need to upgrade my GPU in the near future (1650 Super) due to the only 4 gigs of VRAM it has currently. I also need to upgrade my RAM from 16 gigs to 32, but my question there is whether I should just go ahead and get two more 8 gig sticks, or if I should go with two 16 gig sticks (since it can be done for around $80 currently) and then just sell my current RAM on ebay or something (probably get about $35-$40 for them based on others asking prices). Of course, I'd also love to get an nvme (my mobo has two slots for nvme at least) of at least 1TB...but I'm disabled and my income is very limited because of that. I wish I could manage to work even just part time, but alas, my body will not allow it.
Oh, and I'm actually happy with my current peripherals tbh. I have a 24 inch ASUS 75hz IPS (I think it was around $140 when I got it) monitor, so at least a bit better than the standard 60hz models. I have a fairly cheap wireless Red Dragon gaming mouse (it was only $15 on sale and much better than my old mouse) and I recently upgraded my keyboard from a cheap membrane one to a Tezarre Mechanical with Gateron Optical black switches. I know it's not the best keyboard out there but man, oh man, the improvement over my old membrane keyboard is amazing, and it was only about $30! It's also hot swappable, so there is room to improve it down the road. (I like the feel, sound, and speed of these optical blacks though)...
Assuming you're not streaming or doing much or any background work. If I was you I would not waste a cent on ram right now. It appears to be a sheeple thing where everyone moves up to 32. I know there's one AAA title recommending 32 gb ram but reality is everyone's fine for years with 16. And the more important aspect at present is likely the ram speed, not so much the amount. Save all your money for a GPU, and get best possible, then do other stuff because ......... the GPU can go forward for a decade, but not much else will ( exception case, fans, psu), including new RAM.
For a between Tier 1 and Tier 2 build at Tier 1 pricing, you can find used RTX 3070s for the price of a 3060.
Do you need a wifi adapter or is it just an extra in order to connect to the internet?
This whole video is level one:
Level 1: follow a quality build guide like this video
Level 2: read component reviews, select components with knowledge of your specific games / applications, performance targets and bottlenecks.
Level 3: consider buying used, flipping your used parts. Have a vague awareness of product roadmaps / release cycles and a multi-year upgrade plan for each subsystem. Case mod. Moonlight old parts as DIY projects (HTPC, router, NAS). Turn off your RGB and behold the beauty of the night sky
I'm not a beginner, but not an enlightened master either. We're all learners. I consider myself fully proficient at choosing parts for a balanced gaming system, but since current generation graphics cards are all stupidly expensive, I built my new "Black Friday 2022" gaming PC a bit out of balance: 13700K, 64GB of DDR5, Taichi Z690 board, two 2TB Gen 4 NVMe SSDs, and a 6800XT. I used some parts I already had on hand: Corsair Air 540 case, H115i cooler, a pair of WD Black 2TB spinning HDDs for local archiving, a 1000W Platinum PSU from EVGA, a Corsair Strafe keyboard, and my old favorite G502 mouse. I added a Gigabyte M32U 144Hz IPS 4K display. This system has more RAM and storage than it needs, and it probably should have a 4080 or 7900XTX. Maybe it will get one or the other soon; I'm watching prices.
Great video..I was really hoping there was a 2k-2500 build that would be considered level 3. Maybe with a 4080 . I don't care about rgb or custom liquid cooling, maybe just an aio. 1440 at 120hz seems to be great. I just want a nice case with good cooling and good performance. Any thoughts on something between level 2 and 3?
Do a level 2 build with a 13700k and a 4080, swap out the mobo for a z790 of any kind. Done. $2400
in the new builders guides could you mention various non-rgb options
Thanks
Excellent video. Thanks!
Def looking at a model in between the 2nd and 3rd 😂 actually always have and always will. Need 4 options in the series. ❤
Can you please advise the ideal GPU options for my PC?
my pc: ryzen 5900x, 64 RAM, 4k display resolution.
I choose a GPU for video editing and playing new games, ideally in 4k, but it is also good in 2560x1440px
Price focus is good and all, but what about brand reliability. Is paying a little more for Asus for example from Gigabyte or MSI worth it or not? Hardware site never talk about whether prices for products are justified
