Build the BEST $800 PC for Modern Games +

[@Rico24337]

My current build was originally based off of one of your build videos from 2013 and here we are a decade later. Crazy

[@FrostyBravo]

same, i got a diablotek case he recommended about 10 years ago

[@helloimatapir]

@@FrostyBravo At least it wasn't a Diablotek psu!

[@Mr_Wh1]

Those were the times. The whole 2000s were a magical time for the PC community.

[@Mismag78]

crt + cyberpunk = * aesthetic *

[@Martin-pj5fe]

I love your content, you fill the perfect niche of functional computing when you are into modern games, retro games. Would love to see more videos on using CRT monitors with moderns pcs. Ive gone down the rabbit hole of buying retro early 2000's pcs but its not particularly practical (takes up too much space, doesnt get used, more hardware to maintain). Keep it coming :D

[@dandrevs]

Why no AMD GPU recommendation? 6750xt offer better value than 4060ti most of the time. Also RX 6800 is priced well at the moment. Got one for 450euros here in Europe with Starfield premium edition bundle.

[@lukefilewalker9454]

Dude, Cyberpunk on the CRT looks amazing. Hmmmm.. 🤔

[@Nattraks]

Now is a fantastic time to upgrade/build.

[@chomskyan4life]

I got an Eurocom DTR laptop with an i7 9700KF and 200 watt RTX 2080 about 4 years back. The screen is 1080p 144hz, and most games still break 100 to 120 fps+ with a combination of Ultra + V. High settings, plus RT off. I am happy for another generation, I think. The only thing that bothers me is the CPU hitting 85 degrees C, or over, under heavy load. Even after a new repaste....

[@paulzeev]

I Literally just did this Upgrade 2 weeks ago, I used the Fractal Ridge case, Ryzen 5 5600x , XFX RX 5700xt, Gigabyte B550i mini itx, Pinnacle 3600 MHz 64gb Ram, Big Shuriken 3 CPU cooler, Errmax sfx 550w PSU, crucial m.2 PCIe 4 and wow it was just over $800 some parts are bought new some used but this PC is badass!

[@praetorxyn]

Good stuff. I had a 5700 XT when I played Cyberpunk and got around 59 FPS on Medium, it was still gorgeus. I have a 3080 now, but I'm not sure when I will get around to replaying it.

[@michiganjack1337]

Still holding onto my 1080ti (ride or die 😅) however I’m not going to lie I think it’s getting close to being retired from my main rig. Rest of the system is very new built 2 years ago, so no problems there.

[@solocamo3654]

4060ti is definitely not my choice here... 6750XT is not only faster as you go up in res, has 12gb of vram (bare min I'd recommend even at 1080p) it can be had for slightly cheaper while also including Starfield Premium edition (which you can of course sell if you're not into that). 4060ti's RT performance is not enough to be a pro here and neither is the slightly better energy efficiency.

[@cftyckct]

I would personally go for a 6700XT I don't think the RX6750XT is worth it. It's more expensive, consumes more power and it's not much faster then a 6700XT

[@itsdeonlol]

I would have went with a 6700XT... Ray Tracing may not be that great as NVIDIA, but it's faster than the 4060 Ti...

[@teksyndicate]

I didn't realize they were priced so well now. I'll add that as an option in the description. Cheers

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Phantom Liberty looks very good there. I did a new build on the sales but it's fun to rebuild as problems arise. I think DDR5 and I are in a good place now.

[@RadeonVector]

Still rocking the 1080fe with an i7-7700, still able to play everything on a 1080p75hz monitor, still watching this video just cuz Logan's cool

[@unitybeing777]

Hi Logan, bro I'm upgrading from a 9900k to a 5800x3D and am4 tomahawk mobo. I got a 4070ti tuf oc from insurance as fedex destroyed my previous pc. I'll be livestreaming cp2077 hopefully but too used to 3D stereoscopic aka 3D vision legacy tech by Nvidia - so not too keen to play in 2D. Got a flood of games to play in 3D vision and not worried. Keep safe bro, Godspeed.

[@felixcosty]

Thanks for the video. I found after buy a few controllers, that yours was at a lower price for two and that they work way way better for driving in Cyberpunk. Just use the controller for driver, mouse and keyboard for driving is better in 2.0, but is is not mouse look driving, waiting for a mod that give mouse look driving, then I will be much happier with Cyberpunk. It is a 7/10 game right now, with mouse look driving like in Borderlands 2 it will be an 8/10.

[@spretten]

i know some PC builders will hate to be asked, lol, but I'm burned out and overwhelmed by tech these days (and I'm prob not alone in that). would you consider doing a mini guide on what to look for ready made gaming PCs?

[@jambo1815]

two sticks of ram. 6 core cpu minimum. GTX4060 or RX7700XT

[@jonnscott4858]

that's the way to do it.

[@masterkc]

Logan from tigertv? Awesome

[@dragonsystems5973]

I have a 1080 Ti backed by a 12100F that runs Cyberpunk 2.0 just fine, something like 1440p medium to high... its the card in my media center running my 4K TV, I just was curious so I ran it one day

[@audaxxx4202]

Why not AMD GPU? 6700XT for example?

[@Poxenium]

just tell me which aliexpress seller is trustworthy for RX580

[@mrshmee]

11:06 😂🤣

[@Papa_irv]

What monitor are you using? Specs and display?

[@teksyndicate]

For games? I use a CRT for most fps these days... and an Alienware AW3821DW... but that's a bit ridiculous for this. If you're asking what I'd pair with this, I'd have to think about it and maybe do a video on displays.

[@NoNamenoonehere]

Starfield i Will Say has taken the throne for the Can It Run "that game"The time to upgrade Newest Gaming PC(not for retro ppl) has most 100% come again,

[@davidcrowder1202]

my 2070 and i7 9700f cant even run it at stable 45fps medium much less 60! i have to lock it down to 30 fps like my pc is an xbox with better mod support. it sucks cause i basically just built this pc sense im broke af.

[@eskimodot]

Sharks are older than trees.

[@madokie1970]

11:50 Those Gigabyte psu's have an "explosive" reputation iirc...................

[@wszczebrzeszyn]

6700 XT is much better than 4060Ti.

[@darren253]

What do you think of Game Pass really. Can we have your thoughts?

[@teksyndicate]

Bad for gaming in the long run. Ok for consumers at the moment

[@ThinqK]

you never say hi

[@packersfan036]

How about the rtx 3060 12gb?

[@NoNamenoonehere]

...F.....F usually stands for Fail....Intel Don"t Put F on your cpu names ....ppl will get ideas... you see ,,you see

[@JMartinni]

Any recommendation of the 4060/4060 Ti depends heavily on the regional pricing at the time... not a card I'd recommend anyone to personally.

[@RMSLtnick]

Personally If you can still find them my recommendations are rtx 3060 LHR (the 12gig version) OR RX6700XT

[@TheUnitedView79]

Just upgraded my card again.. found a 3060 ti for dirt cheap..

[@MikaelKKarlsson]

Yeah those aged fast for what many tried to use them for. Don't i know it. 😂

[@TheUnitedView79]

@@MikaelKKarlsson works for me.. Cyberpunk at 128fps on highest settings

I still can’t come to update my desktop on 3770 ivy bridge oc with a 3070 super aio got a nice new laptop that can run indie games on a i3 no gpu :o very nice latitude 15 2023 model base

5600g is also pci 3.0 vs 5600 pci 4.0

[@Jafar-dr6to]

With intel the f means your f’d if you have to trouble shoot without gpu😂

[@felurianmasters4369]

Logan, the problem is zenbleed. I'd pay 30$ for security.

[@Tudorgeable]

security from what?? How is a CVE affecting you as an average user? Why would you care about security when all you do is game on a machine? If you truly care about the safety of your data, keep it offline or on a NAS, locally (and one more extra place for backup purposes). Intel users who allow microcode updates to mess their performance for 'security' reasons are actually ignorant. Security in IT is a meme

[@Chakotay2222]

alot of reasons to upgrade then you mention only 3 games wth? One is old other is broken third no one cares about
