I wish they told you if the power supply comes with cables to power SATA hard drives as I have two 4TB hard drives of games. I hate to spend thousands of dollars and cant even hook up a hard drive without buying a new power supply or trying to figure out how to get extra cables from the Power supply maker. Also knowing how many extra M.2 slots are available would be nice. To spend thousands and only get 1TB or 2TB M.2 SSD is a crime. I had trouble with my external USB drive making my windows have to reinstall USB driver so I dont use it anymore.

I would also like to say that if you go full budget on the prebuilt systems with an RTX 3060. If the 3060 is the single fan (Pheonix), make sure you have excellent airflow in your case or you will see high temps over 85c. If you can ensure you get a dual fan or a larger case allowing for good airflow you should be good to go. I made that mistake and after getting a new case, my temps dropped almost 20c at full use.

[@Kwstr42]

4 days of research, 17 videos on CPU vs Gpu and combinations. i cant even begin to tell you how much the first 10 minutes of this video were the most informative, straight forward comparisons i ever found as to what are comparable units for builds, what to avoid and what is best. and pairing that up with pre builts that have proper groupings finally told me what i needed to know over all and thanks to you i have a solid idea of what i want and how much ill need to spend. ive been trying to find a build that fits my needs, but all i could find is videos about builds based on price points and budgets. how do i know how much i need to budget if i dont know what i need?? lol. this video told me what the teirs are for components, relevant builds, and based on the price points, told me roughly where i would need to budget to get something ill be happy with. all i knew was i wanted something 70 to 80% the power of a current top builds that can handle 1440p, VR and multi tasking with some upgradability if i should want to i know some people want a gaming pc now and have 1000.00 and need to know what the best build is for that price, but my philosophy is find what will do what you need and make you happy, and if it is more than your budget, either find ways to cut the price down, or wait a little longer and put more money in the budget. if the PC right for me turns out to be 2000.00 then i should save up for that instead of just getting something i can afford right this second. im shooting for 1440p gaming with provisions for VR gaming, CAD design and 3d modeling, streaming and light video editing. preferably something i wont need to upgrade for 7 to 10 years so im not ending up with lots of computer towers all over lol. i feel im roughtly in the ballpark of an i7 with a 4070ti thats 16gb and now that i know that, i can figure out the ram i need, the type of cooling and case size ill need as well as which board yada yada. once the cpu and gpu fell into place i could figure out what else i need and have a rough idea of cost, or at least i can make a shopping list to get an idea of cost to save up for which was ultimately my goal

[@kelley09162]

Are you looking for a Pre-Built or are you building your own, and if building your own do you need help picking out the parts?

[@Kwstr42]

@@kelley09162 i am getting a parts list together with prices and i can look at prebuilts, if i find one that is what im looking for for the same price or cheaper, then i can get that and save time, costs and hassles of building my own. if not, building my own would be fine. my goal is to find the system i need and want, then save up for it over a couple paychecks. i have money set asside i just need to know how much more ill need. the hard part isnt building as much as figuring out the parts i need to get to ensure it works correctly. my base requirements are minimum 16gb vram to cover what i need for VR, an intel processor with integrated graphics and at least 8 cores for productivity tasks i will need to do and i want a cpu and gpu that will compliment each other performance wise. everything else will be based on what the cpu and gpu are, which is why i feel an i7 and a 4070 ti super 16gb are probably a good combo that will last me a while. should be good for vr gaming while streaming and also productivity when im doing other hobbies and its solid 1440p gaming and still 4k compatible. based on a quick back of the napkin math its about 2100.00 over all, but thats without price shopping so probably less. ultimately i dont need it right away as im in a transitioning period, so by the time im ready for one, this will be good, or the same money could get me a better rig, my goal is by the end of summer but thatd close to the new line up of gear, so there might be some used 4090s going on the market for a lower price than the current price of the 4070 ti super lol

[@davisb9380]

how is 1440p the most popular res when most people are still using GPUs made for 1080p gaming like the 3060, 1650

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I'm talking about new PC builds and prebuilt buyers (since we are talking about buying a new prebuilt gaming PC). We regularly poll our viewers and if they are not at 1440p or 4K right now they plan to make that their gaming resolution in the future. Very few are looking to buy new for 1080p (and usually those are esports fanatics).

[@blackbirdpctech]

What is the customer support like from companies like Skytech or ABS? I think that’s an important consideration for people buying pre-builts, otherwise they would likely build it themselves.

Jason, i know i have been coming back and forth and been bothering you with my unability to pick but- I have a question for motherboard's power phase, is it important for a 7500F? (MSI B650M-A WiFi for (8+2+1) 190$ vs AsRock B650M PG Lightning WiFi for (6+2+1, no nvme heatsink but supports gen 5 ssds)160$, and what do you think about ATX 3.0 psus? should i pau about 10$ - 15$ more for a PCIE 5 support? (Fractal Ion Gold 80+ 750W for 90$ vs MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 for 101$) both of them is listed on A tiers but the MSI being on the speculative position, and i do plan on getting the 7800 XT, Thanks!

[@kelley09162]

Getting a PCIE 5.0 PSU isn't that important since you're not getting a Nvidia 4000 GPU. The new PSUs come with the 12VHPWR Connector to match that of the 4000 Series GPU but since you're getting an AMD GPU it doesn't matter.

Hey! In regards to the Lenovo Legion T5 (5600g/3060) Any concern about the output of the PSU, it looks to only be 400w? When I look it up, the recommended PSU for a 3060 is >550w.

It's not that you need 16GB for a 4060 Ti or RX 7600 XT - they would have been fine with 12GB, it's that they have more than 8GB which for their 128-bit memory bus means it's clamshelled on so you get 16GB (2x8). It's just the fact that they have more than 8GB which is critical.

I generally recommend for people that want to stream to go up one GPU level than needed for their games. So yes a 4k build would be safe

[@Ristovski919]

So I have rx 6750 xt gpu waiting to be installed on pc, for which monitor should I aim 1080p or 1440p with this card? Cpu ryzen 7. 5800x

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I'd go 1440p. See our Best Gaming Monitor 2024 video for more on GPU level with resolution

Hi there, I want to ask what is the best mobo for 7900xtx and ryzen 7 7800x3d? And corsair rm 1000x is good psu for that combo? I'm just learning about this PC stuff. Thanks

[@kelley09162]

Yes the Corsair is a good PSU for that, though there may be cheaper options that are also good. As for the Motherboard the MSI B650 Tomahawk is a good option, and if you want more check out Jason's 7800X3D build guide from last year.

[@leagueaddict8357]

Put the parts into PC part picker, it will point out problems that you will most likely face, and check out the cultist PSU tier list, and make sure you pick only B tier or above which it probably will be if it is a Corsair PSU but you have to make sure it is, and you most likely will need a USB hub for RGB.

Why is the 7900xtx rated so poorly with 24gvram? Is it a bad card?

[@dylanjastle]

It’s one of the best cards. I probably would not pay more than $850-$900 for it in this market though.

[@FizzikkOfficial]

21:18. Wait so RTX 4060 is worse than RTX 3060? So should I be getting the RTX 3060 then instead?

[@kelley09162]

Yes because there's a 12GB VRAM version of the 3060. The 4060 is only 8GB of VRAM.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

The 4060 8 GB is a terrible price to performance card. We actually just launched our Best GPU for Gaming 2024 guide if you want to learn more

Cause i wanted to try out UE5 and Unity, any tips would be greatly appreciated

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Honestly any of the 1440p or 4k options we recommend would be good for this. Bonus if you can get one of the 32gb options, but if you choose an SI you can always add more RAM

I have all the good specs on my computer ( i think) except for the graphics card. I bought this from a gamer in 2019 or 2018 and it has a Nvidia GTX 960. It's an ASUS computer with I7 3770 CPU 3.4GHZ 16gb ram 12g GPU Nvida GTX 960, should I just open it up and see if I can upgrade the graphics card. I was considering buying a new computer but i feel like I have enough specs for what I want to use it for. My goal is to play VR while streaming and currently it doesn't work. Using quest head set. Please any advise you can give I would greatly appreciate it.

[@kelley09162]

Considering that CPU is over 10 years old I would recommend building/buying a new computer. It's possible you can reuse some of the parts though. Just depends on the full specs.

It may sound like a dumb question but I need some help. I currently have a pc that my friend built a long time ago and sold to me for cheap. It works well but I need to upgrade as its pretty outdated and struggles when running some games, video editing, or streaming so I'm going to build my first PC. I have gotten my new build I want to do approved by a few of my friends (and their parents) who are huge tech guys and have all built computers in the past so I think I'm all set for building it. Which leads me to my question, how should I position my fans. I know he said 2-3 intake and 1 exhaust but I'm going to use the Deepcool LS520 and the H9 flow case. Does anyone know how many I should place as intake/output? It'd be a huge help.

[@kelley09162]

So I believe that would mean 3 in the front and 1 in the rear. Also I think that's how the fans come in the Case when you get it.

[@kelley09162]

I saw that. It seems good to me. Just to make you aware there's another option for $1999 but by iBuyPower. It downgrades the CPU to the 7700X but upgrades the GPU to the 4070 Ti Super, 2TB SSD vs 1, and better RAM at 5600mhz vs 5200. The Cyberpower is good if you like the Blue Color though.

Dear Jason, which best gpu for Ryzen5 5600, is it RX 7600 or RTX 4060? for gaming.

Neither are great because both only have 8GB of VRAM but between the two probably the 7600 because it's cheaper.

Jason, why has Remedy produced a game in Alan Wake 2 that is so hard to run at decent frame rates? It seems strange to make a game that so few systems are capable of running

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I've dived into this in some of our Q&A's. Short version is it is a combination of factors: 1) Game Devs are under pressure to launch games faster often in poorly optimized shape & 2) Games are becoming more visually demanding and AW2 is a good example of some of that. Expect more titles like AW2 (though that may be a worst case scenario) coming in the future so stock up on that VRAM.

[@stevewoods76]

@@PCBuilderChannel This is why I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU, My 6700XT is fine for now for most games at 1440P but who knows what the future holds. Any suggestions to pair with the 5800X3D max budget of £800ish (Oh and why are components so much more expensive in the UK?)

​@@stevewoods76Here in the UK our vat of 20% is included as the base price whereas in the UD it is not.

Out of curiosity what makes you recommend the 3060 over the 4060ti for 1080p? Is it just the vram? Cause I am sure the 4060ti is significantly better like 30-40% stronger and 8gb vram is more than enough for 1080p

[@kelley09162]

Yes it's the VRAM. If you can afford a GPU with more than 8GB of VRAM you should get one.

[@ningensan8198]

​@@kelley09162 That doesn't really make sense though. Extra vram above 8gb is not necessary nor will it give any substantial improvement on 1080p 99% of the time. On the otherhand, the 4060ti outperforms the 3060 in every other aspect so it really is a stupid recommendation
