4K Gaming DOESN'T Have to be CRAZY Expensive!

[@ToastyBros]

One thing to note, this video was filmed before AMD dropped prices on all their higher end GPU’s so this build is well below the $1,700 mentioned at the intro

[@DXcellence718Returns]

Yup also depends on random sales. I was able to pick up this exact card model last week for $710, currently its at 759 right now as of this comment

@@DXcellence718Returns I think my XFX Speedster MERC 310 RX 7900 XT is going for $759 at the moment but my Dad paid over $800 for it last year in March 2023. You may be wondering why my Dad bought it and not me. Well its because I'm an autistic man with no job and he bought it for me for my birthday last year.

Love your content, im a new subscriber, hope to watch more of your videos

[@ToastyBros]

Yes you can definitely do that!

[@danebeee1]

For anyone building this ditch the thermal right cooler for a cheaper air cooler and use that money to get a 7800x3d. Another thing is $190 for that case with those 5 fans is insane. Just buy a decent $60 case (there are a few out there) and a few artic fans and u will spend another $100 less on the case. Hell with all those saving u may be able to get up to a 7900xtx. ****edit**** I actually just out the build together with the 7800x3d and the 7900xtx together and it was $1,758 all together. So u could even swap the 7900xtx out for a 4080 super if u wanted to.

[@MrBeetsGaming]

Yeah I don't understand spending almost 200 on a case when you're trying to make it not expensive....

[@christianmino3753]

I have an i5-12600k and an RX 6800XT, I get great 1440p AAA Gameplay, excited to watch the video and see how a similar set-up does at 4k! So after watching I feel like this is the expected result. Definitely doable, but I feel as though this build is better suited for 1440p, and I also recommend going with an i5 12600k if you need to shave a few bucks off of the build.I've been seeing them go on sale for as little as $150, and I think around $135 for the 12600kf! I could be a little off about the 12600kf, but 100% have seen new 12600k models go for $150 recently. Here is the question I would like to ask, because I've been thinking about it myself recently as the 1440p Monitor I got is only 100hz, which is more than enough for more because I play like 2 Esports games lol. I'm mainly a single player AAA game type of person, and until my 1080p 144 hz monitor just blew out on me out of nowhere (thank goodness I got that 1440p display! It happened RIGHT AFTER that!) I still had a monitor for a high refresh rate experience, do you think it's worth going with a 4k display, over a 1440p display due to the fact I can render games that can't give me the experience I want at 4k, in 1440p on the 4k display anyway? I've heard it's always best to render at native resolution, but how much of a difference does it really make? Also, (out of curiosity because my build is already done, lol) would you guys consider going with the i5-12600k instead of the 13600k to shave some money and lessen the hit from the 4k monitor? Performance is similar enough between the two imo, but Best Buy didn't have the 13600k when I got my 12600k and there was a sale going on, so I had to grab something right at that moment.

1700 is a rent payment now a days in most places in Canada and thats the mid to low side of the scale, not to mention your talking 1700 us witch is 2290.62 can

'Crazy Expensive" is definitely the asterisk here. $1,700 is still more than what most people spend in a single build

[@dusanvlastimirovic5845]

For a gaming pc use the 7800x3d for the build

[@drickreacts]

This is absolutly stunning

[@steadyclouds4614]

Okay so i bought a sapphire NITRO 7900XTX And a 7800X3D and still completed the full build for sub 1800$ so.. huh?.. (1000w psu, 2tb sn850x+980pro, msi micro atx b650, 360 WATER COOLED, 32gb ddr5 6000hz cl30 ram.) So tbh im confused because i built this just before black friday and have a much BETTER system for the same price... (sama case with pre installed fans saved some cash but im still not understanding because it's also an 011 lookalike just the same as their much more expensive case.) I think the sponsor had more play than we were led to believe. Always Love toasty bros content don't get me wrong. Just wanted to let yall know :(

[@cafe88racer53]

Toasty Bros mark up lol

[@steadyclouds4614]

I built before black friday, not during. And I'm confused for the exact reasons you'd listed, if it's a 1700 dollar build with much worse specs than my also 1700 dollar build then I think I'd be confused as to why. Exact price was 1754, with the higher end sapphire nitro. (You can still buy a 7900xtx much cheaper than that and get the gpu bump.. any 7900xtx will be almost 100$ cheaper. we both know the sapphire nitro is the most overpriced) which only goes to show more, why is it a 1700 dollar build guide with specs not worth your time for the price, so thus the confusion and thinking the sponsors mentioned had an extended play. If I search between newegg and Amazon I can still build a 7800X3D with a 7900XTX full build for under 1700 quite easily. That's also with a 7gbps wd black ssd, and 32 gigs of ram as specced above. But I mean If you're not confused why you'd buy worse parts for the same money please tell me why because I certainly don't get it. That said I also had a 360mm AIO included in the full list so there's another 50 saved on a higher specced build getting closer to 1600. You see what I mean yet?( this is all parts included I can send a pcpartspicker list if completely necessary)

[@joemorgan8436]

The 4070 TI Super has just 16 GB of VRAM, However it has fantastic ray tracing. Neither card can play at settings that max out 16GB of VRAM and high FPS so the extral VRAM on the AMD is pretty much all for show. The 4070 outperforms the 7900 and has 8448 Cuda cores v only 5376 on the AMD. The price difference is as little as $50 depending on the manufacture.

I always try to understand why you guys label the pcs above what you recommend them? I am kind of surprised that you actually played in 4k settings. You played at 4k but kept mentioning this was best for high fps at 1440. You normally call some pcs 1440 capable pc but only show gameplay of 1080 at medium to low settings to get around 10p fps. It doesn’t seem like many care but I do think you guys should be more focused on showing real capabilities of the pcs you build without having to play low to medium settings on 1080 or 1440. Maybe even building less pcs under $500 and have that be the lowest while the majority of your builds be like $750 and higher
