Hi Jason, what would you recommend for sims racing (iracing and the like) I want a i9 processor, nvda 4090 (I hear the 5090 is coming soon) 64 ram and at least 10 usb ports. Many thx

[@appstate1996]

Hi Jason, I just found your channel (unfortunately, after Cyber Monday). I have a 4 year old HP ENVY general use desktop. It runs Windows 10 and the motherboard is not capable of upgrading to a processor that will run Windows 11. I could wait until next September to look for a new PC, but I'm concerned that prices will jump up if/when the new administration enacts tariffs on imported products. Although I currently don't play any games, computer, Xbox, Playstation, etc, I just retired this week and will now have to fill my day with things to do. Gaming may be one of those things? That being the case, since I need to get a new computer before the prices go up, I thought I would buy one that would be able to play games should I decide to get into that. I watched your video and found it to be very helpful. I looked in your description and see that you have given one of the PC's which was not mentioned in the video 2-flames. I think the PC you did mention (Ruby) is sold out everywhere, that is probably why you updated the list. I have put the CyberPower Ryzen 7700 / RX 7900 GRE 16GB (Faster than 4070 Super) / 32GB / 240mm AIO in my cart. This is a little above what I planned to spend, but it seems like you feel it is a good PC for the money, so I think this is the one I'll get unless you have found a better one for the same money since this posting. I WILL be coming back to your channel frequently to check out what new information and products you are sharing. I don't like to subscribe to channels because I can't stand getting notifications. Thank you for doing what you do !!

[@memochin2776]

All my PCs in last 25 years were prebuilt. Yesterday I built one myself and it was great experience. It's actually only stage 1 with bare minimum, currenly running Ryzen 7600 with stock cooler and integrated graphics, so it's just to use it casually, but eventually 9800x3D goes in, AIO cooling, dedicated GPU and we'll be talking serious gaming. Can't wait.

[@GruelingFive8]

Would make a dedicated GPU first thing you do, might be happy with that 7600 :D

[@MogCity2]

Do you doing any gaming or just regular computing?

[@nydted1]

The only issue I had with Skytech is their RAM. It says 32gb of RAM but the CL speed is not typically top of the line. I bought one 2 years ago and found out the ram (16gb) was very basic and rather than 3200mhz, it was 2444mhz. Did it work for the PC, yes, but it was not what most would have expected. I had to upgrade it to 32gb, 3200mhz, CL16 ram in order for my gaming to actually be stable enough to run. They also tend to skimp on the SSD/NVME quality as well. My only recommendation would be to try and leave a little space for quick upgrades to RAM or NVME. Otherwise, I would say Skytech is a reliable company that will provide somewhat decent prebuilds.

[@jorgem50]

Prebuilt will be good for the non builder. That's how I started back in 2003 and once I began to open up the case and upgrade little by little is how I learned in 2004 to build my own pc

[@AzamKhan-sy2tb]

how do you check which parts are compatible with each other?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

@AzamKhan-sy2tb start with our PC Parts Explained 2024 video!

[@lookherelooklisten7850]

Literally no difference if you build your own or buy a prebuilt pc, where I buy prebuilt pc you can choose all the parts you want on the website and they will just put it together for you, so literally no difference than you getting everything and then go on 5 hours to build it.

[@AzamKhan-sy2tb]

@lookherelooklisten7850 what site do you use?

[@highwaymen1237]

Great presentation. Visually providing the data is much easier to understand. Likely the best video I have ever seen on PC buying options.

I dont need to upgrade yet but your videos are very helpful for keeping up with the PC parts tech scene and deals. Every year around this time i watch your videos to see. I built my PC two years ago watching your videos. Very helpful.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's so great to hear! Very glad we can help and thanks for watching!

[@manzencow9582]

I picked up a Y50 PC from Build Pro PC, and the black friday sale made it an easy decision. It's under $1500 and has a Ryzen 5 7600x, RTX 4070, 1TB NVME, and 16GBs of DDR5 6000 RAM.

[@edwin4625]

To those considering pre-builts versus building one yourself, I support your choice, but you have to watch Jason from PC Builder to get the most out of your money. He knows these parts like the back of his hand and talks about them often enough in his videos to have each one memorized. He’ll provide value for your dollar every time-I promise you. I copied his 5950X build from one of his older videos a few years ago, and I’m still using it as I type this comment. He knows his stuff.

[@GRIGGINS1]

You get better deals buying directly from the Manufacture than from New Egg or Amazon. And you get better parts.

[@edwin4625]

@GRIGGINS1 I think you missed the point of my comment. Basically, I was saying that Jason knows these PC parts really well because he makes videos about them over and over again. He’s memorized the performance of each component and also remembers their prices. This allows him to analyze the specs of pre-built PCs and tell his audience-especially those who don’t want to build their own PCs-which ones provide the best value for their money. Jason has this knowledge because he’s memorized the power and price of nearly every PC component as part of his job.

[@GRIGGINS1]

@edwin4625 it is still bad advice tell people to buy from New Egg. When you can literally save money buying directly from the SI.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you Edwin so much for that, so happy to help the community learn, save, and build! Hope you keep enjoying all the content :))

[@Heisenberg_747]

Man the American prices makes me sad. :( I have to pay 2x for same specs here in the UK.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Frustrating!

[@GruelingFive8]

What specs/budget are you looking at mate? I wouldn't have thought it'd be that bad, AWD-IT, Scan and Overclockers might be worth looking at, I've not gotten a pre-built from a big company before so can't really speak for them but generally their builds seem decent for the money generally.

[@jasonprendergast7493]

Do we. My 4090 I got a fresh deal on, I actually got hold of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and at the MSRP price took. Where are our prices double the price as you say. They’re actually cheaper over here if anything! 😂

[@yerachmielb1]

This video was great, but the main thing that I learned is that if I plan properly and spend smartly (finding deals wherever, or getting a bundle from Micro Center), then I may get a better value building my own PC. (Of course I'll utilize this channel in planning that too)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Building yourself is generally much better value yes (:

[@Anton_dk]

Not sure if I missed it in the video, but how come there not be any prebuilds with Radeon cards? Surely they'd be better value...

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Really wish there were more! But Nvidia has the prebuilt market dominated so for a prebuilt team green is likely going to be your only choice. Different from building one yourself for sure

[@mybrotherjames8579]

Zack (ZTT) talked about that issue in a video a while back. He recommends AMD mostly for people building their own pc but his company only offers nvidia in their prebuilts because to the avg buyer nvidia has more brand recognition so the pcs sell better.

I am getting a new PC for the first time since 2016 this week or the next, and your videos have been super helpful. But why the lack of AMD GPUs? I'm Team Red, and going with a 7900 XT. 😁 I would say they are more performance for your money if you don't care too much about ray-tracing, and at least for more tight budgets I would go with them over Nvidia anyway.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Oh believe me I wish there were more AMD GPUs in prebuilts! But Nvidia dominates the prebuilt market so if its a prebuilt you're looking for you'll likely have to go team green. If you're building yourself absolutely Radeon is likely you're better choice

[@sdmugabe]

Great presentation sir

[@JB-jr3bm]

Folks if your buying a prebuilt gaming pc as a gift. Do yourself and your loved one a favor and have a microcenter build one for you. A legendary 7800x3d bundle is $599. Have a case, power supply, OS & GPU added. Theyll build and warranty the work....and youll likely be well under 2k. Walk out with an inccredible PC built on solid advice.

[@GRIGGINS1]

Only works if you have a Microcenter in the State you live in. And Most people don't have one in their State.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Sadly closest one to me is a 10 hour drive!

[@Orwellian444]

Whats a microcenter? I'm in Hawaii and looked up a few pc shops and they charge 250+ up to build someone's pc

[@JB-jr3bm]

Sadly yes, microcenter is not everywhere yet. I do apologize for not including that in my comment. @orwellian- Microcenter is a distributor of electronics focused on computer parts. They also offer to build it for you. They are customer centric- They took my 13th Gen Intel chip back when they didn't absolutely have to .

[@mrwest2474]

Do you realize not everybody lives near a microcenter ? Nobody is driving across state lines just to build a pc to save $100-$300. Their build prices are insane too.

Hi Jason, i got the ASRock Phantom Gaming D OC Radeon RX 6800 XT 16 GB Video Card 2 years ago when i built through your guides. I noticed the 6800XT isn't in your new gpu related videos, why is that? Did it turn out to not be a good card, or is there something related to the current available versions being junk? I'm back to build my friend a pc (: Apologies if you've mentioned this before, just curious is all. Thanks!

[@2hotscot]

Just not a lot of supply of that generation card anymore. Have to lean towards the 7700XT for a similar price.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Its a great card its just almost completely sold through. No longer available at all in most markets and only one model left new in the US last I checked

Jason I'm disappointed that your only covering Nvidia GPU's when you've started in several video that AMD is the best bang for your buck for mid-range gaming. Are you doing a separate video covering the AMD GPU systems??

He wants over 300fps in cs2 with his peferred cpu i5 12600KF - his budget is 800€ so I gave him two possibilities. 12600KF + RX 7600 (168€ + 281€) or 12400F + 7600XT (117€ + 359€).

Not a stupid question. The gaming experience on PS5 vs PC is very different so that's your first choice. Then of course a pc can do a lot more than a PS5.

TF2 is consistent 360fps at high settings even during intense MVM or casual lobbies. I only do the Precision Boost Overdrive and the hottest my pc will get is around 68-70° if I’m in a full intense lobby of HLL. My monitor is the AW2725DF 27in 360hz QD-OLED

Nice!!

what case does the skytech shadow use?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I'm not sure it is sold into the DIYPC market. I think it might be a custom design done by Montech, with whom they have a close partnership.

on B&H the Lenovo 5i legion tower pc with a 4070ti super and an i7 14th gen is 1,500$ grab it up quick

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I can't recommend 13th or 14th gen Intel CPUs right now sadly. But if you are comfortable with them and know the situation it might be worth it. Lenovo is also OEM so keep that in mind

[@T1vg-yt]

@@PCBuilderChannel I understand the cpu issue and oem is a bummer but im not gonna upgrade for a while and at that point i will be able to pull the gpu ssd and ram from the Lenovo and turn it into a storage machine also i plan on game develope ment along with gaming so intel offers more for me than amd right now

No! I don't recommend those CPUs at all, terrible for gaming and that's also not a GPU I recommend.

That's why we're here . . . i really appreciate you trying to help everyone to get into their system with their budget.

Thanks William! Obviously I love helping people build their own but sometimes that's just not possible for folks (or wanted which is fine too). Hope you are having a great week!

no love for the 7800xt?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Lots of love for it! Its just almost never found in good prebuilts. See the section of the video on prebuilt GPUs. The prebuilt market is absolutely dominated by Nvidia I'm afraid. If you are building your own pc we have completely different recommendations and you should check out our Black Friday GPU video!

Hi jason , I got a msi b650 pro s wifi , and a ryzen 5 7600x with 32 gb ram 5200 from corsair . For some reason i cannot do pbo with curve optimizer cuz the i get crashes .

Don't buy form Cyberpower. It is not a good prebuilt company. And their PCs tend to be HotBoxes.

Crazy. I paid $1,500 in October for a i9 14900k with a 4070 ti super from Lenovo with the 360 aio. I decided to make my own build because i scored on a 7900 xtx. I got an amazing deal last month from newegg with a 32 gb ram, x870 board, and the 9700x. It is being cooled with a 360 aio and has crazy fan configuration. They both were purchased for the same amount and very satisfied with keep the 7900 xtx build.

What percent of people buying a 9800x3d will actually “ notice “ the gaming gains at 1440p or 4k over a 7600x cpu. I am guessing none.

Probably not no, and it really depends on what GPU its paired with to. But there are really good 7800X3D and 7700X deals out there right now so hopefully people will look at those

Since the new amd 9800x3d is sold out would the 7800x3d bottleneck a 50 series gpu when they release or am I best off waiting for 9800, I'm considering the 5090 but may go 5080

[@PCBuilderChannel]

9800X3D will also likely bottleneck the 5090 (as it currently does the 4090) so I wouldn't worry about that. Remember there will always be some bottleneck in your build the trick is to get the best possible combo. See our "Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024" video for lots more on this
