Lots of respect to you Mr. Owen, I was a teacher for a while, and also worked in special education for a good amount of time. They need teachers like you more than ever. I hope you have a good school year!
Dude thank you for all the awesome PC building tips and gaming benchmark vids! Seriously, your content makes everything so easy to understand, and it's super cool that you take time to help people out and explain complicated stuff and make it sound so simple definitely the traits of an amazing teacher man thanks so much
When planning a gaming PC, start with what games you want to play now and two years hence, at what graphics quality, at what resolution, and at what frame rate. Decide whether software tricks like upscaling and frame generation are OK with you and whether you want to suffer the performance loss inherent in ray tracing. Choose a CPU that can issue instructions fast enough and a GPU that can draw frames fast enough to create the results you desire. That all takes some diligent research. Now take a look at your budget, and adjust your requirements accordingly.
1440p is the best bang for your buck currently, there's some good and cheap HDR monitors starting at that resolution which will improve your experience considerably more than going to 4K while not completely emptying your wallet. RX 6800 + ryzen 7600 for like 550 and you're set
Completely disagree.... every build should start with your target budget and an additional 10% for your max budget. How can you predict what you'll be playing in 2 years time and what hardware you'll need for those games? YOU CANT. And you don't build a PC just on what games you play. You build based on if it's purely for games or if it is for productivity or both. And you should never ever ever factor in upscaling or frame gen when selecting hardware because not every game uses the same technologies. You should always build on raw horsepower. For example, gaming on a 4060 @ 30fps is going to give a very different result in quality and frametime compared to a 4080 super @ 80fps when using frame gen. And a lot of newbies simply won't understand that, they will just think it's a miracle cure for low fps. The only thing I will agree on is if you care about ray tracing or not as that will ultimately make the decision if you go for an AMD or Nvidia GPU. I'm not trying to be an a**hole to you but your advice just doesn't seem well suited to someone starting out. And for those who already have the knowledge would already know "what they need to know on what suits them best".
It doesn't work that way Someone with a 800$ budget, can't adjust his budget to 1500$. Especially in countries where the minimum wage is like 400$. The PC itself, it already is a luxury. As for the parts selection ... it's usually "just get the newest gen platform". There's no point in trying to play 2024 games on a 2014 platform like the i5-3rd gen. There's also no point in building a NEW PC with a 3rd Gen CPU in 2024, you can just pick that up second-hand for a sizeable discount. The only real choices on platforms, is either you go with AM4, Ryzen 5000 vs AM5 Ryzen 7000, DDR4 vs DDR5 or Intel 12Gen + DDR4 vs Intel 13Gen + DDR5. Depends on how much CPU power you want and if you want to upgrade in the future. These are the only choices. There's no point in building a 8-9-10-11thGen Intel PC in 2024 or a Ryzen 1000-2000-3000Series
Some people play mainly just LoL, others Counter Strike @500hz, others World of Warcraft, others racing Sims, etc. So they can plan the build around that. I for example wanna build a 7800x3d/9800x3d + Rtx 3080 for constant +500fps in CS2, don't really care about anything else much .@@thornstrikesback
None of that really matters, though, because you're constrained by budget. You first decide your budget, then configure a build that spends about 60/40 on (graphics card)/(cpu + mobo). But in order to know what amount you're splitting 60/40, you first buy the cheapest 10ns 2x16 kit, a gold PSU that covers it, a case you like, and a current-gen 1-2TB m.2. Then you look at the remaining amount, multiply it by .6, then find a GPU in that price point. Then you use the .4 remainder and find a decent mobo of the socket you are building on with the features you want, then the leftover is your CPU. In practice, with made up roundish likely numbers for the ram/case/storage/psu: $1000 budget First, subtract the other component costs- $100 memory kit $90 PSU $65 case $60 1TB M.2 =$315 $685 remain for cpu, mobo, gpu. 685 x .6 = $411 for GPU Best GPU performance buyable under $415 (PCPartPicker filter of last 2 gens of NVidia and AMD) is the 7700XT for $385. That leaves 300 for the cpu + mobo. ASRock B650M Micro ATX: $100. That leaves $200 for a Ryzen 5 7600 for $182 or a 7600X for $195. I'd probably go with the 7600 because of the well documented microscopic gap in performance while being set for less TDP. There you go, the entire process of repeatably backsolving for a build via budget. 7600 plus a 7700XT games comfortably at 1440 and demolishes 1080 for the foreseeable future for a $1000 budget. All of these videos just give a man a fish over and over. This one comment teaches everyone how to fish. Be free.
Just build my first gaming PC this year at 40yo. Went with a 7800X3D/4070ti Super and its fantastic. I found a new 7800X3D on sale for $350 so its worth shopping around and taking your time.
@mikedelgrande5296 oh man! Just turned 39 and I'm a lifelong console player trying to do the same. I would like to build one before my PS subscription renewal in December so I can say kick rocks. I was planning to get a pre-built and upgrade but the prices are outrageous and they have all that junk software that can't be, so I figured Check UA-cam! I'm not much of an online gamer. My games are mostly simulators related to driving and the occasional RPG. For example, SnowRunner, Borderlands, Farming Simulator, Spider-Man 2... I may get back into World of Tanks. (I would prefer to replace the 2x 8GB RAM with at least 2x 16GB RAM to start.) Other than that, do you think the build in the video will be able to support those types of games? Once GTA 6 is released, I'm guessing upgrades to some parts would be necessary to play it? Any guidance would be appreciated 😊
With that build, you will enjoy 1440p much more than 1080p, because in 1080p you end up struggling alot with high cpu usage, and it will result in less smoother gameplay. With 1440p, you have a 7600 that is going to get the most out of you 6800 and all will be good when it comes to gaming
You explaining everything in such a simple to understand way shows that you are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for this video! I am planning on buying a completely new PC on a budget of $1500, and this helped me a ton!
@@MrAnimescrazy I do, but youtube will take it down if I was to share it. All I can do is to share the last part of my pcpartpicker list link: /list/tBqNRK
@@red.46 I too like torturing myself watching builds of the same system I have and realising how much more money I spent on mine only a few months prior. Yay. lol
@@craciunator99 Newegg is having crazy deals because the 5700x3d is not selling. It's a little slower than the 5600x3d and 6-10% slower than the 5800x3d, so it's being unloaded a crazy prices.
As a r5 7600 owner, I would suggest one does not use the boxed stock cooler. It will keep your cpu alive, but it is definitely insufficient to keep it from reaching max temps and you will throttle frequently. Spend the extra on even a budget 3rd party cooler, it will be worth it.
That's because it's out of stock at the regular price and 3rd parties are scalping. If you want one, wait for it to come in stock again at the regular price and jump on it before it sells out again.
It is easy to tell you are a teacher.😊. I haven't gamed on a computer since my laptop in 2013. The video was so easy to understand. I was planning on buying a pre-built one, but they are ridiculously expensive and have a bunch of junk software pre-installed. Even if a part or two gets broken trying, it would still be cheaper than a pre-built. Hopefully, I can use this new knowledge to get a computer built before my PS subscription renews 😅. Thanks!
Ehhh you'll be ok man most of the parts are surprisingly resilient you'll see just take your time especially with cable management a nd front panel connectors i hate front panel connectors it's the only crappy part it is not always obvious where they go you do great i think good luck to you man
Hi there! I'm a PS console gamer planning on switching to PC gaming. I'm not much of an online gamer. My games are mostly simulators related to driving and the occasional RPG. For example, SnowRunner, Borderlands, Farming Simulator, Spider-Man 2... I may get back into World of Tanks. (I would prefer to replace the 2x 8GB RAM with 2x 16GB RAM to start.) Other than that, do you think the build in the video will be able to support those types of games? Once GTA 6 is released, I'm guessing upgrades to some parts would be necessary to play it?
@@GamesAnimeMusicNLife you will absolutely be able to play all of those games. GTA 6, I can't say what the system requirements will be since we don't even have an official release date. If it comes out in the next 3 years though, this build will probably be able to run it fine.
@@GamesAnimeMusicNLifeThat PC will run those games like a flaming knife trough butter, no issues what so ever even on 4k if you really want to (kinda pointless since 1440p exists). And a tip since you say you play borderlands, I would recommend you mod it, its a lot of fun to play and easy to do.
Only thing to add is to keep an eye on store-only retailers. I hit up Microcenter in July when my old MB took a dump and was able to score a R7 7700XT, GB B650 and 32G DDR5 6000 in a bundle for ~$300 Edit: I forgot to add that the video was fantastic. Thanks for putting it together in an approachable format. Knowing the nuance of how the less pronounced specs impact the build help separate a good deal from someone offloading old stuff. I'm sure this video has already saved some new builders a ton of time and money.
I have to let you know i am 32 and always used ps products, but they kinda suck now and its time to move to PC. I really think your a amazing teacher and man this info really helped me out a ton!
Recently built an SFF PC with a Ryzen 7600 and RX 7800 XT, Crucial 2x16 GB @6000MTs, on an ASRock PG B650i with a TT 750W SFX PSU and a Thermalright Aqua Elite V3 240 for €1260. Paired it with a €130 AOC 24G4X 1080p 180HZ. Will upgrade to 1440p in the future. Absolutely no complains, I max out my refresh rate on almost all games that I'm currently playing at ultra/high settings.
I know talking about taxes isn’t always helpful but for me it made a $1,200 build closer to $1,500 so always keep that in mind when building a price to performance pc. Odds are you gonna be spending at least 14-$1500 on a base mid-range build.
Hey Daniel, thanks for the video. I think you approached the question from the wrong angle though. I think the best way to start building a pc is to first ask, "What are you using it for?". If the answer is Minecraft and Fortnite, the computer you build is going to be very different than "Final Fantasy XVI". Second, I think you should determine what resolution monitor you will be playing at which can be heavily determined by budget. 1080p for low - mid builds, 1440p for mid - high end, 4k... you don't need a video. Once you have a budget, resolution, and goal, you can continue to where this video started with the cpu/gpu. Again, thanks for all the great gpu info!
whew, i got my 3070 with 5600x 3 years ago for 1930 dollars without monitor and now you can build THIS with much less Very pleasant to hear how you talk, good skill
Hey Mr Owen, I would like to thank you for all the information, I never learned so much in one video as I learned here. Amazing video this should be THE video for everyone trying to understand the reasons for buying pc parts
If there's a Microcenter near you, I suggest using that over the site you're using because they offer build kit bundles (heatsink-less CPU/motherboard/RAM) to save cash, if you're building it. However, it'll cost a substantial chunk extra for them to build it for you.
Great video! New builders might want to consider getting a cheaper high refresh oled ultra wide as part of their upgrade paths before some of the other more expensive parts. That’s a huge upgrade that becoming more affordable.
thanks, i need this! building my new rig this november since I really cant play the new games now without my pc stuttering, I am hoping this would last 8-10 years too.
Very good guide that delves "just enough" into the underlying principles as to use-case, then subsequent cpu, mobo and GPU selection - although, I'd expect nothing less from a teacher 😉 Thanks for the tip on the PSU tier list and the link to it - very useful. 👍
Nice plan. I remember upgrading off 9th gen, you should notice it in multitasking and gaming. I do have a 7800XT around and they are solid, GRE didn't exist yet here when that machine was built. My 9600k would choke but upgrading platforms fixed that for me.
@@MaryannLynch-z9c I hemmed and hawed over what GPU to get for a while. I was originally gonna get the 4070 super, but I want a 16gb card and I don't want to spend $800 on a 4070 ti super.
@@sanitygone-l9y the 7800xt has closer to the performance I want. The original card I wanted was the 4070 super, but the 12 gb vram is a deal breaker. The 7800xt benchmarks just below the 4070 super but with 16 vram.
7700 XT is an underrated choice given how it often goes for ~430USD. Sure, 6800XT is a bit faster, but it is harder to get with the same price, usually has very short or even expired warranty and definitely won't support the AI upscaling AMD might be working on if it ever releases.
Here in AUS I priced a budget AM5 build with a RX 7800xt and 7600x for $1100 USD. Haven’t purchased yet but should keep going for a while. AM4 with the same GPU was $980.
Haven't even gotten into the meat of the video yet. Just wanted to express my appreciation for you and your wife as teachers for the work you put in, under not the best of circumstances. I have a number of friends who are teachers in various subjects and cities, and one of the common themes is how underfunded they are in terms of basic supplies and classroom necessities like proper desks. Also, great work on the channel!
The first thing I would teach them is about ESD. I've seen content creators say it is not important because of modern design. What they don't tell you is it reduces their service life.
One thing I noticed was the m.2 drive you selected was listed as having a heat spreader. That is something to watch out for so you don't over spend. Many motherboards have integrated heat spreaders on them, including the one you selected. If the spreader on the m.2 is little more than a sticker, you'll likely be fine. If it's a full heatsink, then you'll not be able to use the mobo integrated heat spreader. For general use, a heatsink is unnecessary, and you should be careful not to spend extra on something you won't need.
Damn, that Techspot chart of motherboards against cinebench blew me away, I never expected so much differences between same chipset's mobos. One more parameter to look at, when scratching your head for the goldilock MB for your needs . And if you want one for a white mAtx build, then you've got so so few to choose from.
I have the fractal design pop xl and its one heck of a case for value. barely over 100 bucks with all that space, 3 huge fans on the front. usb 3.0, mesh dust covers (even on the psu ) an extra storage drawer for whatever, space between the mobo mount and back panel for cable management and extra storage mounting, tempered glass on the other side for showcasing. the front is an aluminum mesh that features geometric shapes. twist screws, several fan size options, plenty of clearance for an air cooler as well as large gpus. its just a beautiful case and cheap for being a full tower. based on the quality of the build (sturdy) its surprising its so cheap. you really cant find better for the price for full tower. not that I am currently aware of anyway. wait for black Friday or cyber-Monday and maybe the phanteks nv9 will come down to about the same price (fingers crossed)
Just changed my 2070super bought in 2020 which served me well to a 4070super found it for 500£.. I was lucky with an offer from amazon, I would say for that price is a good choice even if it is still higher than the 7800
I think if you give it another few weeks for any BIOS update bugs on Intel to sort out and you'd probably still be safe with a 13600K or 13700K. Also, 12th generation chips are not affected at all by the firmware voltage bug on 13th and 14th gen, so you might find a great deal on a 12700K or 12900K if you shop around! I have one Intel system and one AMD system so I'm just saying, shop around and find the best deal.
I run a 4080 with a 12600K and I keep hearing that I'm soo bottlenecked by the CPU, however I haven't noticed it once. It runs CSGO an Forza Horizon at 240 fps and From Soft games at 60 and 120 fps easily. Black Myth Wukong showed an average of 93 fps in the benchmark.
Bottleneck doesn’t mean you won’t get playable FPS. Check your GPU usage while playing these games. If it’s consistently over 90% then you’re not bottenecked. If not, unfortunately, you are.
those games will run fine they are ok for that system the games people are saying is the super cpu demanding games wich represent only around 3% of highest aaa games out there made today , a neesh thing but if its one of those games ya play then you would see the bottle neck they talk about
you are not, the only way you will get "cpu bottlenecked" on those games is running them at 720 low unlimited fps, by that time you will be running 300+ fps, and if you are not using the frames you are wasting your resources.
5800X3D 7900 GRE …. You won’t regret it. This is the price of the new PS5. + everything else would be on your price. Case memory psu case and mb can total = 1,000$
Can you do a video about building the best workstation PC? Either for video editing or music production? Seems not a lot of people are doing that. thx.
Great video 👍The 4060 is great at 1080p if you're looking for a low TDP. Amd definitely give you much more for your money. If you are into VR stick with Nvidia
I ahven't put it together yet, but I bought my parts piecemeal, got the secondary parts first(memory, nvme, psu) and i gave away my 3070(nephew) and got 6750 xt to use in my current build and then use it with the newer build as a stand in for a 20gb vram or above gpu. Finally decided on the MB the Taichi Lite, and a case NEO Cube 2, about that time the 9000 was close to coming , so i waited thinking 9600x an wait for 9800x3d. Well we saw how that turned out so I grabbed a 7800x3d as they were going out of stock everywhere. I had been avoiding its $399 price, but then i looks and my last cpu cost $331 in 2021 so for the vast difference in performance that extra $60ish seems fine. Will likely not buy another cpu til the next gen after 9000 series.
if you want to connect without wifi to your pc, a wifi repeater often has one or more ports to connect directly to it so you can place it to get a good enough signal and still connect with a cable and not have to use a wifi adapter on the pc itself .
The RX 6800 for around 370 USD is amazing. To me, this is a better value than the RTX 4070 and 4070 Super, and those aren't bad value cards either, but they are also a lot more expensive than the 6800 too. To my knowledge, it's maybe only in Canada and the US that it's been frequently available for that kind of price, and I think it's often not really available at all in a lot of regions, but if it's close in price to the RTX 4060 ti, or if it's less than 100 USD more than a 6750 XT, I think that still makes it the best option if you can possibly afford it. The 6700 XT and 6750 XT have been great value graphics cards too, especially with some recent sales seeing the price going as low as around 260 USD, HOWEVER, the BIGGEST PROBLEM with those two graphics cards is that the actual build quality of most of the cheaper models is pretty low. There are some much better quality models, but those ones tend to be MUCH closer in price to the RX 6800. The XFX RX 6800 which seems to be so common uses exactly the same cooler as the 6800 XT, which was originally built as a high-end product and, as far as I can tell, has very good build quality. I'm not a big fan of Asrock, but their RX 6800 models also seem to still be the same as their 6800 XT model and seem to still have good build quality. A lot of cheap models of 6750 XT are honestly crap and I wouldn't trust them. I'm basing this opinion on videos I've seen from Northridgefix as well as another channel which analyses and estimates build quality of graphics cards. Now, if your fans fail outside of warranty, that's actually not that hard to fix, but it's still a hassle, and then you have a janky setup with fans zip tied to the cooler, and failure in-warranty is a big hassle as well. What amazes me about how close in price the RX 6800 has been to the 6750 XT and 6700 XT is that even the cheapest models of RX 6800 have SIGNIFICANTLY better build quality than most of the cheaper models of 6700 XT and 6750 XT. This is something which is very under-appreciated. On top of that, you're getting around 25-30% more performance and 33% more vram capacity. The 6750 XT is a bit closer to the 6800, but the 6800 will most likely overclock better than a 6750 XT. The 6800 does have relatively high power draw, so it's not as appealing if the cost of power is high in your region, or if you're concerned about managing room temperature while gaming during warm months of the year, but you can still improve efficiency significantly with undervolting when playing games which are less demanding.
Great video. I’d argue you could even go w/ some of these parts on the used market (like GPU, case, etc) to cut down price another $200+. But NEVER skimp on the PSU. I’m a high-end buyer, but if I did go mid-tier 1440p, 4070/4070ti super would be the play for sure.
@@jayv231_ RX 6600/6650 is really good enough for a lot lot of games. Then AM4, 16GB DDR4 3600, 1TB M.2, an ATX mobo, a decent case. Everything being above the bare minimum and upgradeable makes it have no compromises in my point of view. If it was a limiting setup were you would need to change many parts at once or couldn't at all, that would be compromises (yes, speed of components may also be a compromise but that's why I like to see a minimum of quality). So yes. $600 is the minimum viable if you are smart with the parametric filters.
So let's say you upgrade your GPU, then your CPU, then your RAM. That's it. Then you could set it aside and use it as a home-server when you build your new PC in a minimum of 4-6 years.
You also get more use from a PC than a console. For things like homework or business. You can also download mods for games. You just get more value from a PC in my opinion.
I mean it's great but it's in a weird spot, not the best price to performance (RX 6800 takes that one) while also not being strong enough to handle the occasional lumen. It's the best budget 4K card when overclocked but most people would rather get all the premium features of Nvidia at that pricepoint.
I replaced the top of a flexispot table not long ago. the tops aren't great(I mean seriously, it's an adjustable standing desk at that price you knew there were compromises), but the overall package for that price is great. Edit: Also with the case I HIGHLY recommend the montech air 903 max. It's EXCEPTIONAL for the price. I don't know if the base version comes with as many fans or the rgb controller(they're kids, they'll want some rbg lets be real). Literally sitting next to one. And I'll fight you on the 4070super, it NEEDS the extra vram from the ti super version. I can't in good faith recommend anything a kid wants to continue using for a while with less than 16gb at this point unless it's extreme budgeting. And with how expensive the 4070 super is.. that's not a fucking budget product rofl.
I did my research and failed, overspent and gaming wise performance gonna be great but not for price of the parts. I'll do better when next card gen comes along thanks you for this kind of videos
Hey i was wondering if you could help me out with a question about upgrading my pc, my current build is from 2019. I currently have a Ryzen 5 3600, with an x570 MSI Gaming Edge Wifi motherboard, 16gb of Ram and a 2060 Super. I was thinking of upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5700X3D with extra Ram, totalling to 32GB. And then keep a look out for either a 4070 Super or a 7900 GRE in a couple weeks after. My PSU should be sufficient for this upgrade i think, i have a Corsair RM750. I was pondering if this upgrade would be worth it. Something to note is that i was first looking at a 5800X3D but the price difference between that and the 5700X3D seems to be 330,- to 195,- which i dont think is worth? Hope you could offer some insight :)
I built my last PC in 2020, im sure that in the future i wont be building any new PCs since with the GeForce Now gaming at 20€ per month is much better with no risks of failing hardware. Yeah youre limited with games since they dont support them all atm, but theres always new games being added. And the next thing would be electricity bill, i guess most of yall dont pay it so you dont care but when you move out, it will start hurting seeing those high bills just for using your pc. Example i pay roughly about 40€ per month electricity for my pc alone, at avg. 4h gaming per day, pulling about 800 watts per hour at a price of 0,4€ per kWh.
The best way to start building a pc is ... to educate yourself a bit. There's a ton of good video's out there that make it super easy. I had to learn that stuff by reading books. If people would be a bit less lazy and do the effort of learning something we wouldn't have to deal with the general degradation of software quality, caused by software companies driven to make it usable by even the most ignorant people.
I am looking to do a build here in the near future, perhaps just after the new year, waiting to see what Intel and Nvidia do with what they come out with at that time.. but otherwise, I want a BeQuiet 901 pro case, with a blue ray burner in the bottom front, a BeQuiet Power supply 1200 watt, and a BeQuiet AIO, a couple of Western Digital 2tb M.2 ssd's.. And the rest, depending on what new tech we have after the first of the year.. not sure yet if it will be a 5080 or 5090, or if I actually want to just go with a 4090, all depending on what they come out with, and how it all compares.. but I am not sure about what intel is doing, hearing they will not be continuing with hyper threading.. so I am really curious about what their chips will do without it.. with 8 P cores and 16 E cores, but were not gen 15 also 8 P Cores with hyper threading? I see that as loosing 8 P core threads.. so I am just curious as to how that will show out.. Anyway, that is what I am looking at after the new year.. its time for me to upgrade, running on old tech now!!
I would rather take 2-3 years to buy my parts than to buy it all at once. Id buy a good cpu, motherboard, ram and case for the first year, then buy the psu and storage the year after that, and then buy the gpu the year after that. It takes 3 years but then I am buying the best parts money can buy without causing financial issues.
I find a video saying this is the only PC build worth buying in September 2024 one hour after I assembled and ordered the very same build (with the 4070 super upgrade)
I would really love to see how much noticeable difference you get on CS2 playing at 500 fps vs 300 fps. Visually, I doubt you can see anything. But in terms of response time from click to on-screen action, how many nano seconds of difference does it make
I'm thinking of building a new PC, this video was great. But I'm not sure if I should wait for the 5000 series since they seem to be around the corner and my 4060 gaming laptop, although notthat great does the trick for now. But it doesn't do my 4k 240hz screen justice. And although it manages to surprise me quite often with how well it can handle certain modern games. With others the performance is so bad it's not worth playing for me. I want a PC that can handle all modern games at high/ultra at at least 1440p. I don't mind 1440p but man 1080p is a blurfest. I always knew the difference was big. But it's crazy seeing super sharp textures turn into blended sh dropping from 4k or 1440 to 1080
I have some xmp ram yet the xpo profiled worked as designed. After all the motherboard chooses the speed and latency settings, not the ram, that being said if the ram can run at the requested settings of the mother board it will be fine.
If you're ultra budget you should probably get a ryzen 5600 or intel 12400f, not an AM5 chip like the 7600. The cheaper CPU and the cheaper MOBO and RAM that go with it save you 100-150 and are totally fine for gaming.
I built myself an AMD system a few years ago, and it was never stable. I spent weeks on forums and in the bios, but it would always blue screen or there'd be horrible audio distortion through the soundcard. I'm incredibly unlikely to go with an AMD platform even with intel torching their own reputation with corroding chips. Right now, I'm using a 12900KF on an Asus Z690 Hero, and it's rock solid.
I want to build a $1000 gaming PC but I live in my company's dorm. It will be a hassle to bring the PC when I change companies and have to wait for 1-3 months settling for a new job. Bought a used ROG Ally for around $385 converted . I want to play games at 60fps but the machine can't do that for newer games. I only play older games and newer games that I can lock to 720p/45fps. I wish I had a stable job that pay a lot lol.

Lots of respect to you Mr. Owen, I was a teacher for a while, and also worked in special education for a good amount of time. They need teachers like you more than ever. I hope you have a good school year!
Dude thank you for all the awesome PC building tips and gaming benchmark vids! Seriously, your content makes everything so easy to understand, and it's super cool that you take time to help people out and explain complicated stuff and make it sound so simple definitely the traits of an amazing teacher man thanks so much
When planning a gaming PC, start with what games you want to play now and two years hence, at what graphics quality, at what resolution, and at what frame rate. Decide whether software tricks like upscaling and frame generation are OK with you and whether you want to suffer the performance loss inherent in ray tracing. Choose a CPU that can issue instructions fast enough and a GPU that can draw frames fast enough to create the results you desire. That all takes some diligent research. Now take a look at your budget, and adjust your requirements accordingly.
1440p is the best bang for your buck currently, there's some good and cheap HDR monitors starting at that resolution which will improve your experience considerably more than going to 4K while not completely emptying your wallet. RX 6800 + ryzen 7600 for like 550 and you're set
Completely disagree.... every build should start with your target budget and an additional 10% for your max budget.
How can you predict what you'll be playing in 2 years time and what hardware you'll need for those games? YOU CANT.
And you don't build a PC just on what games you play. You build based on if it's purely for games or if it is for productivity or both.
And you should never ever ever factor in upscaling or frame gen when selecting hardware because not every game uses the same technologies. You should always build on raw horsepower. For example, gaming on a 4060 @ 30fps is going to give a very different result in quality and frametime compared to a 4080 super @ 80fps when using frame gen. And a lot of newbies simply won't understand that, they will just think it's a miracle cure for low fps.
The only thing I will agree on is if you care about ray tracing or not as that will ultimately make the decision if you go for an AMD or Nvidia GPU.
I'm not trying to be an a**hole to you but your advice just doesn't seem well suited to someone starting out. And for those who already have the knowledge would already know "what they need to know on what suits them best".
It doesn't work that way
Someone with a 800$ budget, can't adjust his budget to 1500$. Especially in countries where the minimum wage is like 400$. The PC itself, it already is a luxury.
As for the parts selection ... it's usually "just get the newest gen platform". There's no point in trying to play 2024 games on a 2014 platform like the i5-3rd gen. There's also no point in building a NEW PC with a 3rd Gen CPU in 2024, you can just pick that up second-hand for a sizeable discount.
The only real choices on platforms, is either you go with AM4, Ryzen 5000 vs AM5 Ryzen 7000, DDR4 vs DDR5
or
Intel 12Gen + DDR4 vs Intel 13Gen + DDR5. Depends on how much CPU power you want and if you want to upgrade in the future.
These are the only choices. There's no point in building a 8-9-10-11thGen Intel PC in 2024 or a Ryzen 1000-2000-3000Series
Some people play mainly just LoL, others Counter Strike @500hz, others World of Warcraft, others racing Sims, etc. So they can plan the build around that. I for example wanna build a 7800x3d/9800x3d + Rtx 3080 for constant +500fps in CS2, don't really care about anything else much .@@thornstrikesback
None of that really matters, though, because you're constrained by budget. You first decide your budget, then configure a build that spends about 60/40 on (graphics card)/(cpu + mobo). But in order to know what amount you're splitting 60/40, you first buy the cheapest 10ns 2x16 kit, a gold PSU that covers it, a case you like, and a current-gen 1-2TB m.2. Then you look at the remaining amount, multiply it by .6, then find a GPU in that price point. Then you use the .4 remainder and find a decent mobo of the socket you are building on with the features you want, then the leftover is your CPU.
In practice, with made up roundish likely numbers for the ram/case/storage/psu:
$1000 budget
First, subtract the other component costs-
$100 memory kit
$90 PSU
$65 case
$60 1TB M.2
=$315
$685 remain for cpu, mobo, gpu.
685 x .6 = $411 for GPU
Best GPU performance buyable under $415 (PCPartPicker filter of last 2 gens of NVidia and AMD) is the 7700XT for $385. That leaves 300 for the cpu + mobo.
ASRock B650M Micro ATX: $100. That leaves $200 for a Ryzen 5 7600 for $182 or a 7600X for $195. I'd probably go with the 7600 because of the well documented microscopic gap in performance while being set for less TDP. There you go, the entire process of repeatably backsolving for a build via budget. 7600 plus a 7700XT games comfortably at 1440 and demolishes 1080 for the foreseeable future for a $1000 budget.
All of these videos just give a man a fish over and over. This one comment teaches everyone how to fish. Be free.
Just build my first gaming PC this year at 40yo. Went with a 7800X3D/4070ti Super and its fantastic. I found a new 7800X3D on sale for $350 so its worth shopping around and taking your time.
Nice build.
@@MrAnimescrazy thanks! Coming from a lifetime of console gaming, everything I play on PC is blowing my mind.
Literally going with the same from a 2700x & rtx 2070 build from 2019.
@mikedelgrande5296 oh man! Just turned 39 and I'm a lifelong console player trying to do the same. I would like to build one before my PS subscription renewal in December so I can say kick rocks. I was planning to get a pre-built and upgrade but the prices are outrageous and they have all that junk software that can't be, so I figured Check UA-cam!
I'm not much of an online gamer. My games are mostly simulators related to driving and the occasional RPG. For example, SnowRunner, Borderlands, Farming Simulator, Spider-Man 2... I may get back into World of Tanks. (I would prefer to replace the 2x 8GB RAM with at least 2x 16GB RAM to start.) Other than that, do you think the build in the video will be able to support those types of games? Once GTA 6 is released, I'm guessing upgrades to some parts would be necessary to play it? Any guidance would be appreciated 😊
@@GamesAnimeMusicNLife what is your budget?
Literally have 7600 + rx6800. Recently upgraded to a 1440p monitor and im really enjoying the build.
With that build, you will enjoy 1440p much more than 1080p, because in 1080p you end up struggling alot with high cpu usage, and it will result in less smoother gameplay. With 1440p, you have a 7600 that is going to get the most out of you 6800 and all will be good when it comes to gaming
U are wrong lol@@Ladioz
Gotta love people like you, who just say that you are wrong without explaining why they are wrong. @@charizard6969

wtf what? That crazy of a combo for only 265????
Make sure you check that its a good PSU on the tier list. Or else that whole build is going up in flames.
@@craciunator99 Newegg is having crazy deals because the 5700x3d is not selling. It's a little slower than the 5600x3d and 6-10% slower than the 5800x3d, so it's being unloaded a crazy prices.
@@carrickdubya4765 I couldnt find that deal on newegg at all. But I got a 5700x3d for 153 shipped off aliexpress which was nice.
As a r5 7600 owner, I would suggest one does not use the boxed stock cooler. It will keep your cpu alive, but it is definitely insufficient to keep it from reaching max temps and you will throttle frequently. Spend the extra on even a budget 3rd party cooler, it will be worth it.
Ditto.
true and the PA is wonderful to keep it low when gaming
RIP 7800x3D prices. gotta love seeing it $420 when a couple weeks ago it was like $360...
@@kotztotz3530 I saw it on Amazon for 309 the other day. I paid 349 for mine

That's because it's out of stock at the regular price and 3rd parties are scalping. If you want one, wait for it to come in stock again at the regular price and jump on it before it sells out again.
They are just raising the prices so they can drop them again over the holiday season it happens every year.
It's even out of stock sometimes. Since Intel isn't an option right now and the 7800X3D is the best anyway, AMD simply can't provide enough units.
It is easy to tell you are a teacher.😊. I haven't gamed on a computer since my laptop in 2013. The video was so easy to understand. I was planning on buying a pre-built one, but they are ridiculously expensive and have a bunch of junk software pre-installed. Even if a part or two gets broken trying, it would still be cheaper than a pre-built. Hopefully, I can use this new knowledge to get a computer built before my PS subscription renews 😅. Thanks!
Ehhh you'll be ok man most of the parts are surprisingly resilient you'll see just take your time especially with cable management a nd front panel connectors i hate front panel connectors it's the only crappy part it is not always obvious where they go you do great i think good luck to you man
About a month ago i scored a B650E Taichi for $270 on Newegg. Paired it with a 7800x3d. Im good for a while.
great choice i got the same about 4 months ago for the same price

Very close to the pc build I put together last weekend. Feeling proud of myself right now for some reason.
Hi there! I'm a PS console gamer planning on switching to PC gaming. I'm not much of an online gamer. My games are mostly simulators related to driving and the occasional RPG. For example, SnowRunner, Borderlands, Farming Simulator, Spider-Man 2... I may get back into World of Tanks. (I would prefer to replace the 2x 8GB RAM with 2x 16GB RAM to start.) Other than that, do you think the build in the video will be able to support those types of games? Once GTA 6 is released, I'm guessing upgrades to some parts would be necessary to play it?
@@GamesAnimeMusicNLife you will absolutely be able to play all of those games. GTA 6, I can't say what the system requirements will be since we don't even have an official release date. If it comes out in the next 3 years though, this build will probably be able to run it fine.
@@ianchinworth1677 Awesome. Thanks alot. I really appreciate it.
@@GamesAnimeMusicNLifeThat PC will run those games like a flaming knife trough butter, no issues what so ever even on 4k if you really want to (kinda pointless since 1440p exists). And a tip since you say you play borderlands, I would recommend you mod it, its a lot of fun to play and easy to do.
Fellow teacher here.... I've built before and I appreciate the vid as I am upgrading soon!!!
Only thing to add is to keep an eye on store-only retailers. I hit up Microcenter in July when my old MB took a dump and was able to score a R7 7700XT, GB B650 and 32G DDR5 6000 in a bundle for ~$300
Edit: I forgot to add that the video was fantastic. Thanks for putting it together in an approachable format. Knowing the nuance of how the less pronounced specs impact the build help separate a good deal from someone offloading old stuff. I'm sure this video has already saved some new builders a ton of time and money.
Mad how I’ve been doing research no. Stop for about two weeks and this is the exact build I came up with besides the psu
I have to let you know i am 32 and always used ps products, but they kinda suck now and its time to move to PC. I really think your a amazing teacher and man this info really helped me out a ton!
Recently built an SFF PC with a Ryzen 7600 and RX 7800 XT, Crucial 2x16 GB @6000MTs, on an ASRock PG B650i with a TT 750W SFX PSU and a Thermalright Aqua Elite V3 240 for €1260.
Paired it with a €130 AOC 24G4X 1080p 180HZ. Will upgrade to 1440p in the future.
Absolutely no complains, I max out my refresh rate on almost all games that I'm currently playing at ultra/high settings.
I know talking about taxes isn’t always helpful but for me it made a $1,200 build closer to $1,500 so always keep that in mind when building a price to performance pc. Odds are you gonna be spending at least 14-$1500 on a base mid-range build.
Hey Daniel, thanks for the video. I think you approached the question from the wrong angle though.
I think the best way to start building a pc is to first ask, "What are you using it for?". If the answer is Minecraft and Fortnite, the computer you build is going to be very different than "Final Fantasy XVI". Second, I think you should determine what resolution monitor you will be playing at which can be heavily determined by budget. 1080p for low - mid builds, 1440p for mid - high end, 4k... you don't need a video. Once you have a budget, resolution, and goal, you can continue to where this video started with the cpu/gpu.
Again, thanks for all the great gpu info!
THIS!!! If you're planning to play counterstrike on a high refresh monitor at 1080p you will be completely CPU bottlenecked with the system you built.
whew, i got my 3070 with 5600x 3 years ago for 1930 dollars without monitor and now you can build THIS with much less
Very pleasant to hear how you talk, good skill
What a good ad I’m so happy they helped your school what a good cause
Still one of the coolest and chilliest channels for pc info.
Thanks. Was super confused with modern choices and this video cleared up the confusion.
Hey Mr Owen, I would like to thank you for all the information, I never learned so much in one video as I learned here. Amazing video this should be THE video for everyone trying to understand the reasons for buying pc parts
If there's a Microcenter near you, I suggest using that over the site you're using because they offer build kit bundles (heatsink-less CPU/motherboard/RAM) to save cash, if you're building it. However, it'll cost a substantial chunk extra for them to build it for you.
Great video! New builders might want to consider getting a cheaper high refresh oled ultra wide as part of their upgrade paths before some of the other more expensive parts. That’s a huge upgrade that becoming more affordable.
thanks, i need this! building my new rig this november since I really cant play the new games now without my pc stuttering, I am hoping this would last 8-10 years too.
Very good guide that delves "just enough" into the underlying principles as to use-case, then subsequent cpu, mobo and GPU selection - although, I'd expect nothing less from a teacher 😉
Thanks for the tip on the PSU tier list and the link to it - very useful. 👍
These videos are my favorite and so useful. Thanks!!
FlexiSpot... Livin' it up when I'm goin' down!
you're the kind of teacher we need more of, Mr Owen :)
Nice video. Thanks. I like the "and this is why" aspect of it.
Currently saving to upgrade my pc. Planning to go with the 7600x for cpu and the 7800xt for gpu up from the i7-9700k and the 2080 super.
Solid upgrade!
Nice plan. I remember upgrading off 9th gen, you should notice it in multitasking and gaming. I do have a 7800XT around and they are solid, GRE didn't exist yet here when that machine was built. My 9600k would choke but upgrading platforms fixed that for me.
@@MaryannLynch-z9c I hemmed and hawed over what GPU to get for a while. I was originally gonna get the 4070 super, but I want a 16gb card and I don't want to spend $800 on a 4070 ti super.
@@Zer0Hour17 why not the 6800xt? the 7800xt is about 5% faster for a 10% increase in price. do you prefer the 7800xt cos its newer?
@@sanitygone-l9y the 7800xt has closer to the performance I want. The original card I wanted was the 4070 super, but the 12 gb vram is a deal breaker. The 7800xt benchmarks just below the 4070 super but with 16 vram.
7700 XT is an underrated choice given how it often goes for ~430USD. Sure, 6800XT is a bit faster, but it is harder to get with the same price, usually has very short or even expired warranty and definitely won't support the AI upscaling AMD might be working on if it ever releases.
Keep up the great content! Last year I did a 7600x build with a 7800xt and It runs Black Myth no problem
Here in AUS I priced a budget AM5 build with a RX 7800xt and 7600x for $1100 USD. Haven’t purchased yet but should keep going for a while. AM4 with the same GPU was $980.
Haven't even gotten into the meat of the video yet. Just wanted to express my appreciation for you and your wife as teachers for the work you put in, under not the best of circumstances. I have a number of friends who are teachers in various subjects and cities, and one of the common themes is how underfunded they are in terms of basic supplies and classroom necessities like proper desks. Also, great work on the channel!
The first thing I would teach them is about ESD. I've seen content creators say it is not important because of modern design. What they don't tell you is it reduces their service life.
One thing I noticed was the m.2 drive you selected was listed as having a heat spreader. That is something to watch out for so you don't over spend.
Many motherboards have integrated heat spreaders on them, including the one you selected. If the spreader on the m.2 is little more than a sticker, you'll likely be fine. If it's a full heatsink, then you'll not be able to use the mobo integrated heat spreader. For general use, a heatsink is unnecessary, and you should be careful not to spend extra on something you won't need.
finally someone esle explains a cpu like i always tell my customers.
Damn, that Techspot chart of motherboards against cinebench blew me away, I never expected so much differences between same chipset's mobos. One more parameter to look at, when scratching your head for the goldilock MB for your needs . And if you want one for a white mAtx build, then you've got so so few to choose from.
You must be a great teacher! Nice Video
I have the fractal design pop xl and its one heck of a case for value. barely over 100 bucks with all that space, 3 huge fans on the front. usb 3.0, mesh dust covers (even on the psu ) an extra storage drawer for whatever, space between the mobo mount and back panel for cable management and extra storage mounting, tempered glass on the other side for showcasing. the front is an aluminum mesh that features geometric shapes. twist screws, several fan size options, plenty of clearance for an air cooler as well as large gpus. its just a beautiful case and cheap for being a full tower. based on the quality of the build (sturdy) its surprising its so cheap. you really cant find better for the price for full tower. not that I am currently aware of anyway. wait for black Friday or cyber-Monday and maybe the phanteks nv9 will come down to about the same price (fingers crossed)
Just changed my 2070super bought in 2020 which served me well to a 4070super found it for 500£.. I was lucky with an offer from amazon, I would say for that price is a good choice even if it is still higher than the 7800
I kept making the mistake of upgrading components way more than I really needed to, not proud of how much iv spent
What are your specs?
I clicked on best gaming pc vid, turned out to be budget pc build.
7800X3D going up more than $100 in price in my area is the saddest thing ever right when I was prepping to upgrade
W teacher
I think if you give it another few weeks for any BIOS update bugs on Intel to sort out and you'd probably still be safe with a 13600K or 13700K.
Also, 12th generation chips are not affected at all by the firmware voltage bug on 13th and 14th gen, so you might find a great deal on a 12700K or 12900K if you shop around!
I have one Intel system and one AMD system so I'm just saying, shop around and find the best deal.
Thank you Soo much, this was such an insightful video
I got a 12gb 3060 for $160 a few months ago and looking at the current price was a much better deal than I thought it was.
I run a 4080 with a 12600K and I keep hearing that I'm soo bottlenecked by the CPU, however I haven't noticed it once. It runs CSGO an Forza Horizon at 240 fps and From Soft games at 60 and 120 fps easily. Black Myth Wukong showed an average of 93 fps in the benchmark.
Bottleneck doesn’t mean you won’t get playable FPS. Check your GPU usage while playing these games. If it’s consistently over 90% then you’re not bottenecked. If not, unfortunately, you are.
those games will run fine they are ok for that system the games people are saying is the super cpu demanding games wich represent only around 3% of highest aaa games out there made today , a neesh thing but if its one of those games ya play then you would see the bottle neck they talk about
@@Denroe-fd4hx Yeah, maybe like Stellaris or something like that.
you are not, the only way you will get "cpu bottlenecked" on those games is running them at 720 low unlimited fps, by that time you will be running 300+ fps, and if you are not using the frames you are wasting your resources.
Well in CS you ARE cpu bottlenecked with your setup. 240 fps in CS is not great, even if you play at 4k resolution.
5800X3D 7900 GRE …. You won’t regret it. This is the price of the new PS5.
+ everything else would be on your price. Case memory psu case and mb can total = 1,000$

I just get a new 6800 and its just amazing 🤤
You're how i imagined clark kent would look like irl
Can you do a video about building the best workstation PC? Either for video editing or music production? Seems not a lot of people are doing that. thx.
Great video 👍The 4060 is great at 1080p if you're looking for a low TDP. Amd definitely give you much more for your money. If you are into VR stick with Nvidia
7500f can be had on Ali Express for $120 all day and is basically the same CPU as the 7600. Disabled igpu & 100mhz lower (3% performance difference)
I ahven't put it together yet, but I bought my parts piecemeal, got the secondary parts first(memory, nvme, psu) and i gave away my 3070(nephew) and got 6750 xt to use in my current build and then use it with the newer build as a stand in for a 20gb vram or above gpu. Finally decided on the MB the Taichi Lite, and a case NEO Cube 2, about that time the 9000 was close to coming , so i waited thinking 9600x an wait for 9800x3d. Well we saw how that turned out so I grabbed a 7800x3d as they were going out of stock everywhere. I had been avoiding its $399 price, but then i looks and my last cpu cost $331 in 2021 so for the vast difference in performance that extra $60ish seems fine. Will likely not buy another cpu til the next gen after 9000 series.
if you want to connect without wifi to your pc, a wifi repeater often has one or more ports to connect directly to it so you can place it to get a good enough signal and still connect with a cable and not have to use a wifi adapter on the pc itself .
The RX 6800 for around 370 USD is amazing. To me, this is a better value than the RTX 4070 and 4070 Super, and those aren't bad value cards either, but they are also a lot more expensive than the 6800 too. To my knowledge, it's maybe only in Canada and the US that it's been frequently available for that kind of price, and I think it's often not really available at all in a lot of regions, but if it's close in price to the RTX 4060 ti, or if it's less than 100 USD more than a 6750 XT, I think that still makes it the best option if you can possibly afford it.
The 6700 XT and 6750 XT have been great value graphics cards too, especially with some recent sales seeing the price going as low as around 260 USD, HOWEVER, the BIGGEST PROBLEM with those two graphics cards is that the actual build quality of most of the cheaper models is pretty low. There are some much better quality models, but those ones tend to be MUCH closer in price to the RX 6800. The XFX RX 6800 which seems to be so common uses exactly the same cooler as the 6800 XT, which was originally built as a high-end product and, as far as I can tell, has very good build quality. I'm not a big fan of Asrock, but their RX 6800 models also seem to still be the same as their 6800 XT model and seem to still have good build quality. A lot of cheap models of 6750 XT are honestly crap and I wouldn't trust them. I'm basing this opinion on videos I've seen from Northridgefix as well as another channel which analyses and estimates build quality of graphics cards.
Now, if your fans fail outside of warranty, that's actually not that hard to fix, but it's still a hassle, and then you have a janky setup with fans zip tied to the cooler, and failure in-warranty is a big hassle as well. What amazes me about how close in price the RX 6800 has been to the 6750 XT and 6700 XT is that even the cheapest models of RX 6800 have SIGNIFICANTLY better build quality than most of the cheaper models of 6700 XT and 6750 XT. This is something which is very under-appreciated. On top of that, you're getting around 25-30% more performance and 33% more vram capacity. The 6750 XT is a bit closer to the 6800, but the 6800 will most likely overclock better than a 6750 XT. The 6800 does have relatively high power draw, so it's not as appealing if the cost of power is high in your region, or if you're concerned about managing room temperature while gaming during warm months of the year, but you can still improve efficiency significantly with undervolting when playing games which are less demanding.
Great video. I’d argue you could even go w/ some of these parts on the used market (like GPU, case, etc) to cut down price another $200+. But NEVER skimp on the PSU.
I’m a high-end buyer, but if I did go mid-tier 1440p, 4070/4070ti super would be the play for sure.
What are your pc specs?
That said I've seen people plan a system with a way overkill PSU that sponges GPU budget
Facts!!!
The minimum viable gaming PC is $600 bucks. With no compromises.
More like 700-800 tbh. At 600 still compromising in some areas
@@jayv231_ RX 6600/6650 is really good enough for a lot lot of games.
Then AM4, 16GB DDR4 3600, 1TB M.2, an ATX mobo, a decent case.
Everything being above the bare minimum and upgradeable makes it have no compromises in my point of view.
If it was a limiting setup were you would need to change many parts at once or couldn't at all, that would be compromises (yes, speed of components may also be a compromise but that's why I like to see a minimum of quality).
So yes. $600 is the minimum viable if you are smart with the parametric filters.
So let's say you upgrade your GPU, then your CPU, then your RAM. That's it.
Then you could set it aside and use it as a home-server when you build your new PC in a minimum of 4-6 years.
@@Splarkszter that's what the extra 100-200 is for lol
@@SplarkszterAny PC below $1,400 will be tons of compromises.
You are awesome!!!
You also get more use from a PC than a console. For things like homework or business. You can also download mods for games. You just get more value from a PC in my opinion.
Why is the 7900 gre never highlighted, I’d think it to be the obvious choice for price/performance no?
I mean it's great but it's in a weird spot, not the best price to performance (RX 6800 takes that one) while also not being strong enough to handle the occasional lumen. It's the best budget 4K card when overclocked but most people would rather get all the premium features of Nvidia at that pricepoint.
I replaced the top of a flexispot table not long ago. the tops aren't great(I mean seriously, it's an adjustable standing desk at that price you knew there were compromises), but the overall package for that price is great.
Edit: Also with the case I HIGHLY recommend the montech air 903 max. It's EXCEPTIONAL for the price. I don't know if the base version comes with as many fans or the rgb controller(they're kids, they'll want some rbg lets be real). Literally sitting next to one. And I'll fight you on the 4070super, it NEEDS the extra vram from the ti super version. I can't in good faith recommend anything a kid wants to continue using for a while with less than 16gb at this point unless it's extreme budgeting. And with how expensive the 4070 super is.. that's not a fucking budget product rofl.
I did my research and failed, overspent and gaming wise performance gonna be great but not for price of the parts. I'll do better when next card gen comes along thanks you for this kind of videos
What are your specs?
Hi, thanks for the video. What monitor do you suggest for the RX 6800 XT build?
Hey i was wondering if you could help me out with a question about upgrading my pc, my current build is from 2019. I currently have a Ryzen 5 3600, with an x570 MSI Gaming Edge Wifi motherboard, 16gb of Ram and a 2060 Super. I was thinking of upgrading to a Ryzen 5 5700X3D with extra Ram, totalling to 32GB. And then keep a look out for either a 4070 Super or a 7900 GRE in a couple weeks after. My PSU should be sufficient for this upgrade i think, i have a Corsair RM750. I was pondering if this upgrade would be worth it. Something to note is that i was first looking at a 5800X3D but the price difference between that and the 5700X3D seems to be 330,- to 195,- which i dont think is worth? Hope you could offer some insight :)
Was that a slick cameo from Mrs. Daniel?
great job
Ryzen 7500f is got awesome perfomance for around 150$
I have a Ryzen 7 5800x a 4070 super with 32GB of ram runs everything even the recent wukong game with all settings while streaming.
I built my last PC in 2020, im sure that in the future i wont be building any new PCs since with the GeForce Now gaming at 20€ per month is much better with no risks of failing hardware. Yeah youre limited with games since they dont support them all atm, but theres always new games being added. And the next thing would be electricity bill, i guess most of yall dont pay it so you dont care but when you move out, it will start hurting seeing those high bills just for using your pc. Example i pay roughly about 40€ per month electricity for my pc alone, at avg. 4h gaming per day, pulling about 800 watts per hour at a price of 0,4€ per kWh.
the peerless assassin is really good for the price
you're pretty good, thank you
The best way to start building a pc is ... to educate yourself a bit. There's a ton of good video's out there that make it super easy. I had to learn that stuff by reading books. If people would be a bit less lazy and do the effort of learning something we wouldn't have to deal with the general degradation of software quality, caused by software companies driven to make it usable by even the most ignorant people.
I am looking to do a build here in the near future, perhaps just after the new year, waiting to see what Intel and Nvidia do with what they come out with at that time.. but otherwise, I want a BeQuiet 901 pro case, with a blue ray burner in the bottom front, a BeQuiet Power supply 1200 watt, and a BeQuiet AIO, a couple of Western Digital 2tb M.2 ssd's.. And the rest, depending on what new tech we have after the first of the year.. not sure yet if it will be a 5080 or 5090, or if I actually want to just go with a 4090, all depending on what they come out with, and how it all compares.. but I am not sure about what intel is doing, hearing they will not be continuing with hyper threading.. so I am really curious about what their chips will do without it.. with 8 P cores and 16 E cores, but were not gen 15 also 8 P Cores with hyper threading? I see that as loosing 8 P core threads.. so I am just curious as to how that will show out.. Anyway, that is what I am looking at after the new year.. its time for me to upgrade, running on old tech now!!
I still rock a Evga platinum 1000 from 2014 😅
I was going to build but I might wait until 5000 series
I would rather take 2-3 years to buy my parts than to buy it all at once. Id buy a good cpu, motherboard, ram and case for the first year, then buy the psu and storage the year after that, and then buy the gpu the year after that. It takes 3 years but then I am buying the best parts money can buy without causing financial issues.
28:43 I’ve used 3 Thermaltake gf3 psu. Very good! 12vhp too.
Great help! TY
ill be saving up for a 5090 and 9800x3d it's the only computer that makes sense to me as i only like 4k
I find a video saying this is the only PC build worth buying in September 2024 one hour after I assembled and ordered the very same build (with the 4070 super upgrade)
I would really love to see how much noticeable difference you get on CS2 playing at 500 fps vs 300 fps.
Visually, I doubt you can see anything. But in terms of response time from click to on-screen action, how many nano seconds of difference does it make
i just built a 7600x3d with a 7900 GRE 32gigs of cl30 6000ram was this a good combo for 1440p
Ps5 pro is being compared to a 7700xt equivalent and will also have a PSSR.
I'm thinking of building a new PC, this video was great. But I'm not sure if I should wait for the 5000 series since they seem to be around the corner and my 4060 gaming laptop, although notthat great does the trick for now. But it doesn't do my 4k 240hz screen justice. And although it manages to surprise me quite often with how well it can handle certain modern games. With others the performance is so bad it's not worth playing for me. I want a PC that can handle all modern games at high/ultra at at least 1440p. I don't mind 1440p but man 1080p is a blurfest. I always knew the difference was big. But it's crazy seeing super sharp textures turn into blended sh dropping from 4k or 1440 to 1080
Raddest math teacher ever
I have some xmp ram yet the xpo profiled worked as designed. After all the motherboard chooses the speed and latency settings, not the ram, that being said if the ram can run at the requested settings of the mother board it will be fine.
If you're ultra budget you should probably get a ryzen 5600 or intel 12400f, not an AM5 chip like the 7600. The cheaper CPU and the cheaper MOBO and RAM that go with it save you 100-150 and are totally fine for gaming.
I built myself an AMD system a few years ago, and it was never stable. I spent weeks on forums and in the bios, but it would always blue screen or there'd be horrible audio distortion through the soundcard. I'm incredibly unlikely to go with an AMD platform even with intel torching their own reputation with corroding chips. Right now, I'm using a 12900KF on an Asus Z690 Hero, and it's rock solid.
I want to build a $1000 gaming PC but I live in my company's dorm. It will be a hassle to bring the PC when I change companies and have to wait for 1-3 months settling for a new job. Bought a used ROG Ally for around $385 converted . I want to play games at 60fps but the machine can't do that for newer games. I only play older games and newer games that I can lock to 720p/45fps. I wish I had a stable job that pay a lot lol.
