[@bizbarley74]

Helpful video guys. I have commented in the past with some criticisms of component selections based on price point builds and price to performance ratios. However, I've only ever had good things to say about the quality of your step by step tutorials. IMO they are some of the best available anywhere on the internet. You're tutorials are just fantastic and I'm so grateful. I'm planning a build in a few days using the Montech Air 903 case, and I think you mentioned using a similar case for a $1k build guide. I look forward to it immensely. Any chance of doing AM5 with that one?

[@L319HV]

Hey guys love the content. I'd love to see a all AMD build at some stage and your thoughts onto whether there is perceivable performance benefits of running a AMD CPU and gpu together.

[@Qw33zE]

Man I love you guys I always love every video it helped me build my pc so much I really appreciate you guys

[@ThatHoboRektedYou]

Is it good

[@toothytube]

I just completed a fairly meticulous Ryzen 5 5600/Radeon RX 6700 build (with multiple performance & esthetic upgrades to that build) for only $805. I've found your videos to be quite helpful in getting me back up to speed on all the current hardware options that would be a good fit for a variety of "budget" builds. As i've been using my prior FX-8300/RX 470 build for over seven years now. PS: I built my first PC with the advent of Windows 95 back in the early days of "dial-up", so the actual construction part is childsplay. However, making appropriate hardware choices requires research, and input from KZbinr's such as you two is a big help.

[@OOWAPTay]

Is the 5600 better that the i5?

[@AlexHusTech]

*Great build!*

[@daddymercs]

I’m new to pc gaming been a long time console player wanted to make the jump and this is almost the exact build I was planning thank you for the good info love your vids

I’m the same way my guy! I’ve Bn looking at content and errthang b4 I get into pc gaming I think it’ll be nice! Won’t have to keep switching up jus becuz ps5 has this game and Xbox doesn’t.

[@GhostAcez]

I would look at the i5 12600k chips at least, though, as they have been trending at like $10-$20 more than the 12400. Prices fluctuate so just look on PC partpicker and sort for lowest price to see.

[@daddymercs]

@@GhostAcez thanks for the info much appreciated

[@aleksazunjic9672]

1440p is the future of gaming, but is always in the future 😁I will give you one example - RX 580 was at one point enough for 4K in games like GTA V . Now is barely enough for 1080p low in modern titles with FSR.

[@4friends995]

Is it weird that the first thing I did when building a PC was removed all the motherboard screws from the case lol I was so worried about shorting the motherboard I built a desktop after dropping a screw in my laptop an frying it lol so about a year ago I followed one of yall guides an have been absolutely loving it for least a year now thanks y'all

You know I just built a PC with a 7600 for a Birthday present for a friend. How crazy convenient this popped up.

[@misterPAINMAKER]

i bought the RX 7600XT 16GB and it is amazing!!!

[@koreandude]

another banger! if you're doing with ddr4, would have went with 5800x3d and am4 platform but still a great build!!

[@Bdot888]

The 5800x3d is a beast! I upgraded to it recently and frame drops are almost nonexistent. May be last gen but still trades blows with newer cpus 🙏

[@KayakKingdom]

I'm not sure if it always works. But I've seen some cases, if you hold down the LED (rgb) button on the case it deactivates the button, which then allows you to control it in the software.

[@irishpoet83]

What do you guys recommend for a motherboard with built in wifi and bluetooth for a build around this price? Is there at least one or a couple of options available? Thanks.

[@greeshmaisave5410]

Can you please mention next where should we target price of the parts at? Beacuse 32gb ram kit is out of stock so for how much price the ram should be ?

[@DunkinDanknuts]

12400f is still a good chip as far as what you can get new currently. If you’re not afraid of buying used, Ryzen 7 5700x is a much better option in my opinion. It has more cores and threads than the 12400f and also has a higher clock speed. As for the motherboard, You can also pair it with a used rog strix b550f, msi mpg or mag b550 on the used market at around the same price as the motherboard and cpu combo in this video.

[@TheRealNeoFrancois]

yeah true,but am4 is kind of a dead platform now in terms of upgradability,sure a few new cpus came out but you wont have 2 more generations of cpus to choose from like on lga 1700

[@toothytube]

@@TheRealNeoFrancois That intel platform is also "kind of a dead platform" and a case could be made that AM4 is slightly less "dead" with the recent introduction of some "new" AMD CPU's for the AM4 platform.

[@TheRealNeoFrancois]

@@toothytube true one on hand,,but they will not keep putting new CPUs on the platform,and not only that alot of those newer CPUs are a microcenter exclusive,which lets face it would be nice but the nearest one for me is about 5 hours,and the same or even longer of a travel for other people,while on the other hand with Intel your going to have longer warranty on the CPU(which is not as important),but your also going to have a longer warranty on the motherboard,which is usually the more common failure for computer's, but the best part is you don't have to switch to ddr5 if you want to go a little cheaper on ram and motherboard,but hell we can play devil's advocate but honestly the cpu and motherboard market is and always will be fucked unless we can get more competition in that marketspace

[@shopkins82]

Just getting around to watching this after getting home from CES... How has noone else noticed they mounted the CPU cooler backwards? The SE-214-XT heatpipes should curve towards the back instead of the front to give more clearance between the Fan and the RAM... if they were using 4-sticks or a 2-stick motherboard, they would have clearance issues as installed.

[@zero.koo1]

i just wanted to know if i got a good deal on a pc that i got, so ill list all the things that i bought( btw on fortnite i get a smooth 120fps-150fps. In a real game) Optiplex 7040mt-$75 2x 8gb hyperx fury RAM:$30 256 gb m.2 nvme ssd:$15 GTX 1650 4gb:$40 Total:$160

[@willwillslc]

Not to in a million years would anyone consider an RX7600 a 1440p card 😅. Still a well priced build.

[@Lurch-Bot]

If you're willing to buy a used Ryzen 5 AM4 CPU, B450 MB and cheap case, this could be a $500 build with the exact same gaming performance.

[@LukeTheJoker]

How about a used parts challenge between the two of you, any budget allowed, but the winner is decided by cents per point on Time Spy. So do you go cheap older stuff or do you go modern faster gear???

[@HuntedCarolinas]

I noticed the motherboard isn’t the same in the description. Will the normal B660M work like the same with everything else? Like 2 ram sticks and everything else? Edit: PSU dead when I got it. Looks like my luck is worse

[@ohhaisman]

that heatsink is massive on that microATX board lol

[@cristyanalexandru]

it will be nice to put the actual link for the parts in the description for the mobo or cpu, ty

[@BrandonMartinez-pi9mn]

Is there an alternate power supply you can use I don't mind it being a bit more(have been wanting to build a pc and I think I might use this as a blueprint)

[@Peter-mo3pr]

How does this compare to the recent AMD build for a similar budget? I'm new and wanting to build my first gaming PC as my laptops starting to struggle.

[@RealEclipsed]

One thing I would say is that when the 7600 xt comes out to use that instead, as that has the bonus Vram that may be required in more recent titles

[@darkkingastos4369]

The thing I would add is to not use a gen4 drive in the top slot because it will gimp that graphics card

[@Lurch-Bot]

@@darkkingastos4369 x8 GPU so not likely.

[@malvinchau2056]

New titles don't really need the vram. Unlike the 4070 and 4070ti, the 7600 isn't really bottlenecked by vram. I've the 7600 and it runs games like starfield, baldurs gate and spider man remastered just fine in 1080p.

[@malvinchau2056]

​@@darkkingastos4369extremely unlikely, most gpus don't use full 16 lanes, the m.2 uses 4x and most gpus use 8x. Even if it did, it would affect it minimally.

[@mino4258]

I love the build guides but this one I have a question about. Wouldn't it be cheaper and better to go with the Intel A750? I mean at 1440p the A750 is a homerun on the bottom end. I have a RX 7600 in my streaming PC and it can run at 1440p but I wouldn't say it runs great.

[@Silvahhhhhhhhhh]

The main issue with Intel GPUs are drivers that can be super hit or miss. In the case of ITX/LP builds though Intel Arc is king, even with bad drivers.

[@Bdot888]

Get a cheaper motherboard and lower wattage psu. And use the extra money on a 4060ti or better yet a 4070. 4000 super cards are releasing soon, so that will drop gpu prices

@@Bdot888 Yeah I was gonna get an 850W but it was only like 25 dollars more. Thanks though i’ll go for the 850W instead, do you have any recommendations on the motherboard? I would love to get a better GPU instead

[@Bdot888]

@@bryanolguin4860 no problem! And yeah an 850 watt would be more than enough. And also a B650 non E motherboard is usually cheaper. Ive gone with gigabyte the past few years and have had no problem. Just read reviews and get the best bang for your buck. Always better to get the best gpu you can afford at the time. But if you can only get the 4060, then it still will be a good gaming experience at 1080p regardless!

[@GhostAcez]

One thing to note is that the i5 12600kf has been dropping to around $150-$180 recently and may be something to look at if you're following this build.

[@vexnity460]

whats better about it?

[@GhostAcez]

@vexnity460 It has 4 more cores (they are efficiency cores but will still help out with stuff running in the background while playing games and will help in any multiform task). It also has higher clock speeds and is generally faster. I just saw earlier today on PC partpicker the variant with integrated graphics was only $170. Basically, the 4 extra cores and bit faster speeds will make it slightly more future proof for only $20 more. The i5 12600k is basically a slightly better version of the i5 13400.

[@vexnity460]

@@GhostAcez what about the ryzen 5 5600¿

[@GhostAcez]

@vexnity460 That one is good too. It should be on par in gaming with the 12600k. Just slower in multitasking workloads like video editing and stuff. I would say if you're looking at Ryzen though and don't already have an AM4 motherboard you should just get a zryzen 5 7600 instead. Yes the cpu is like $40 more than the 5600 and ram is like $20-$30 more for that platform. You maybe end up spending about $100 extra for a 7600. But it's way more worth it because if you want to upgrade in the future you won't have to buy a new motherboard and ram all over again so it will save you money in the long run.

[@BlisterBiscuit]

@@GhostAcezwait so the one they used is worse than the one you named?

Hey there Guys. The one big difference with the GVG Mall type Windows licenses is that you don't get any support. If you get a "retail" Windows home or pro license, then you can call and get support if needed. That's probably not a big deal for 99% of the folks watching your videos, but do be aware that the cheap $15 Windows licenses (or whatever they cost these days) will work, but you are your own help desk.
