    Nice! Without going through the exercise of picking the parts, I would have guessed a computer at this price point would be a lot worse. Looks like a pretty solid machine!

    Glad to see you posting again. I think you missed an opportunity to mention why someone might want to spend more for a better card other than "your mileage may vary". Before selecting a graphics card the buyer/builder needs to understand what monitor will be used. Single monitor, wide screen, ultrawide, triples, 4K, 1440, 1080. You're running triples 1920 x 1080 (5760x1080). That's a lot of pixels to push. Depending on the game and settings the 4060tTi may provide a disappointing framerate.

    • @Sampsoid
      @Sampsoid  8 місяців тому +1

      Thanks and good point indeed. Follow up video will be going through monitors so will mention that indeed 👍

    Really cool video. I am not a pro in pc building and this video help me how to search. Personally looking for a 3x2k .. currently having a 3070 in which cannot reach more then 70 fps at medium quality. I beleive a 4080 super is good spot for future proof for a 3x2k .

    Could you maybe do a review video on the VRS base and VRS wheel? Lots of content creators are posting videos about simucube, simagic etc. but frist hand experience from unpaid users/drivers would be much preferred. Great content as always!

    850watt psu on a system that pulls less than 400, most of which will be the CPU.
    Cheap ass cooler on "K" cpu that pulls over 200watts.
    4060ti is a garbage overpriced card, just get a 3080 on 2nd hand market, it's the same price and miles apart in performance
    500gb ssd is cheaping out in the wrong place, get at least 1tb, more if you intend to mod the shit out of games like assetto corsa.
    "Z" motherboard is useless on that system.
    Overall build, meh, don't recommend.

      Does the game HAVE to reside on the boot drive?
      I like to back up my os drive frequently (scheduled), so I hate it having extra stuff on it. I'd keep at 500 for boot drive and have 1tb or 2tb drives as required for games.

    You could have simply uploaded a list of the components shown in the video. No need for a 15 minute video for this. You didn't "build" anything in the video, you bought parts.
