[@Ethan7_7]

17:02, that montage is fire my guy

[@neilharbott8394]

The only warning I've seen with GPU power, is for a card that requires more amperage than the CABLE supports, you should use 2 cables in place of the double cable. Probably not an issue with this card, but if you get worried about it, especially down the road with newer (more power hungry) GPUs, it's safe enough to use 2 cables.

[@balwantsinghbhullar]

Just a suggestion, should have gone with "Gigabyte Gaming X AX V2" for motherboard, I'm also building a same system, what do you think of "MSI MAG Forge 120A" for cabinet for my build, it comes with 6 included fans, thank you.

[@KelonSzN]

why did u suggest the other board?

[@balwantsinghbhullar]

@@KelonSzN It has much better VRM, 8-60AMP, while as Eagle AX only have discrete Mosfets, Hardware Unboxed Tested both boards in video Titled "56 AMD B650 Boards Tested" with 7950X and VRM temp difference is huge, "67 Degree on Gaming X AX" and "83 Degrees on Eagle AX", that's while testing at Ambience temp of 21 Degree, In India Ambience Temp is 35 Degree, so "Eagle AX" will start touching throttling range.

Nice one dude!

[@Davewont]

has anyone gotten to try the 7600x3d from micro center yet? I've been looking at the bundle they have and was thinking of using it from my next build to jump off the AM4 platform.

[@goalieman206]

I haven’t personally gotten it but I’ve seen the benchmarks for it. Seems like a 10% downgrade from the 7800x3d but a $-200 price. Even less if you get the bundle from microcenter. I believe with the bundle it’s only like $188 so well worth the upgrade. I believe it’s still 20% better than a 5800x3d (the best cpu for am4) for $20 less (with the bundle deal that is). If I was upgrading my system I 100% would have gotten this. I just upgraded to a 7800x3d but if I knew the 7600x3d was coming I would have waited. Either way it’s an amazing price to performance build.

[@inmortal131]

Is the best one and best combo is 4080 súper or 4070 ti súper.

Question: is the Ryzen 7 7700x just bad overall or something? Cause for its price point where I’m at it seems like a solid cpu for $250ish. I just don’t see a lot of builds with it

[@j.i.d.255]

it is a good cpu. get the non x if you can

[@inmortal131]

Best for Ryzen 7 is 7800x3d and 75800x3d or ryzen 5 7600x and for gpu 4070 ti súper or 4080 so save like 1800-2000.

[@seymourcarson]

@@inmortal131 I wasn’t asking about best lol. Obviously the 7800x3d is king but for almost $450 I don’t see why I need a beefed up cpu like that only to run a 7900 gre. So my question of why nobody talks about the 7 7700x still stands lol. It also has 2 more cores than the 5 7600x as well and only 50$ more.

[@j.i.d.255]

@@seymourcarson pc centric uses 7700/7700x on his videos. the only downside of 7700/7700x imo is the power consumption but other than that it is great. if i had the extra money i would buy it than the 7600 which i got

The best overall of the gpu RX 7800 xt is a price to performance ratio for 1440p resolution is my favorite amd gpu also the rx 7900 gre is much better performance rasterization and rtx 4070 super with ray tracing and dlss.

@@ITheWatcher-qq8nw ill go AMD with this one, Ryzen 7 7800x3d is probably out of stock for you so get a Ryzen 9 7000 series or the new 9000 series, 14900ks isnt good because you cant upgrade to 15th gen(requires to buy new motherboard), and also it runs CRAZY hot and pulls like 400 watts of power, ill get either a really good b650 or a x670, drop the ram to 32gb because 64 is way too much overkill(if you want some future it's ok for 64). If you went with a ryzen 7 7700x or 9700x, you can save a bit of money to get a rtx 4080 super or 7900xtx. Overall, build is ok but not good, swap the cpu, ram, and gpu and you're fine for 5-6 years from now.

[@FakeTrev]

If you want the best streaming *right now* NVIDIA has better nvenc quality (the streaming format twitch supports rn) so you can make this same build but maybe use a 4070 series instead if you want best streaming preformance. However twitch should be supporting av1 soon and amd does have av1 so you can save some on a amd card now and wait a little for twitch to catch up

[@LegendRockPlot]

just upgraded to the RTX 4070 Super and i dont really feel its much better then my 3060

[@KillerKiba]

if you dont see a difference in performance (number wise) than it might have to do with the refresh rate of your monitor, cpu bottleneck, or resolution you play at. Generally the 4070 super should out perform the base 3060 1080p 1440p and 4k which i dont know if the 3060 has the power to even do. You might also just have V-sync on which limits your fps to your monitor refresh rate, so if you have a 144hz and have V-sync on, with both 3060 and 4070 super you'll be capped at 144fps on games even if both gpus are able to push way past that number.
