PC Parts You Should AVOID Buying in 2024! ❌

[@sayo9812]

Adding my brick to this, as someone who uses a 750 daily. (The one i got seems to be "castrated" but i bought it used so there might be a lot wrong with it). The performance is pretty good, maybe not the best in competetive games but it's more than enough for smooth 1080p 60fps on high/ultra settings in rpgs, indie games etc. But most important: for a year of owning, i got 1 bluescreen. And i'm not exacly sure if it's arc's fault either. No driver problemes ever. If you are curious, go for it. It's cheap but very well rounded. I build a pc with A770 twice, once with A580 and about 5 times now with A750. None of my customers had any problems yet, and i don't think they will. (and it's probably the most aesthetically pleasing gpu in it's price range, be it Limited Edition, Gunnir Photon, Sparkle Titan or Acer Predator)

[@ankushchauhan7563]

Thank you for the relieving comment, I ordered an arc 750 a few days ago, for my first budget PC, and as it is on the way, I panicked.

[@MostSaneBuddy]

​@ankushchauhan7563 arc 750 is pretty damn good for that price range the only real issue it had was that most games were not optimized to for it so it does perform worse than what it could but they have been rolling out updates to improve that I saw some games running nearly double the fps that were shown on 8 months ago compared to few weeks ago

I think youre wrong about buying a 360mm AIO.

I like to remind people that many motherboards still don’t support gen5 SSDs. So, check the motherboard specs before shopping. As always, look for deals. Prices on top tier SSDs often bounce up & down like crazy.

[@willy7968]

Gen 3 SSD isn't bad for storing games if u can get it cheap. I have a crucial P2 SSD(Gen 3) and a crucial T500(Gen 4) as my main drive

[@45eno]

Gen3,Gen4 or Gen5 drives in most every way are no better in game loading than a quality old 2.5” SSD. There is only a few games that harness their speed. Main thing to avoid is the cheaper no dram versions as they drop way off in performance anytime moving game folders around. I finally got rid of my slowest Crucial P2 1tb about a week ago for $50. I had an extra SN750 1tb I cloned onto. I have 21 NVMe drives installed on all my builds and sadly their performance never gets used during load times. They all run like regular SATA SSD’s. Now when I move game folders from one to the other then that is fast and I regularly see 2000-4000mb read/write. Also fast when the game software like Steam has to check the freshly moved over game folder it reads at NVMe speeds. But loading a game they run at sata ssd speeds almost always.

[@feliksdzerzhinskij800]

Problem is 2TB gen 3 SSD and 2TB gen 4 NVME here has only $20 price difference lol so it's no brainer to get gen 4

[@BigBerias]

theres maybe a couple of seconds of load difference whenever you load up games, i also went with a gen 3 drive, even the 2.5'' sata ssd's are still fast enough to boot up windows and load games off of

[@DLexEdition]

Sometimes the problem is your core clock rate (what people call speed) are using way more voltage than advertised, couple that with the amount of current the unit uses, that increases the wattage seen at the active junctions (transistor junctions). Try intelligently underclocking the cores while overclocking. Each CPU has certain sweet spots that allow you to go up quite high and still be stable while reducing the amount of power that is consumed and comes off as a waste product as heat. This can be done on GPU cards as well. Also, having a not so well regulated PSU can cause temperatures to spike on your motherboard chipset and components plugged into your PCIe slots, too. Not all PSUs are equal in that area.

[@rangersmith4652]

Ryzen 7900 and 7950 CPUs might see a significant price drop when the Zen5 CPUs are released. But they might not. The advice to wait and see is sound. My plan is to build either a new AM5 video/audio production PC or a new primary gaming PC once we see where Zen4 prices go. Which one I build, and around which CPU, is a tough decision since I already have a 13700K (with a 280mm AIO) system that is very good for either use case. My sense is that the 7950X will become a price-to-performance bargain if the Ryzen 9 9xxx chips prove to be 15% or more faster. There's no reason for 99% of us to buy a Gen 5 NVMe drive. A storage drive that needs active cooling to function properly is just plain silly.

[@winteropz6410]

No matter what country you are in, better or worse wifi, lan internet beats wifi, even 5g wifi.

10:37 This is where the Noctua nh-d15 can be deceptive. I have an older 1st gen nh-d15 from 2016. Yes, it was expensive. But I have been moving it between computers for almost 10 years now. The only moving parts are the fans, which I've upgraded as the fan tech has improved. Assuming I don't bang the heatsink around around, it should still be usable when I die. I suspect that eventually I'll upgrade to something that the nh-d15 won't fit on, but that hasn't happened yet. When it does, I'll just turn one of my older computers into a home server or entertainment center. HOWEVER, I'm still running 12th gen Intel. From what I've heard, it would be idiotic to try and run 13th and 14th gen Intel processors on air cooling. (Also, you don't have to use old heatsinks inside your pc. I got one of those cheap hdmi to usb video coverters and it was overheating. So, I took an older Noctua heatsink and strapped the dongle to it. No more overheating problems.)

[@rmaccauley9666]

On the topic of motherboards. I suggest going into pc part picker, adding your gpu, drives, a wifi adapter, and ethernet adapter to your build as well as a sound card if you think you would ever consider one, then choosing the cheapest wifi 6E equipped motherboard that is compatible with all your hardware. This will allow you to upgrade your build to utilize faster internet when it's made available to you. Of course you should removed either ethernet adapters or wifi adapters if you don't see yourself ever using one. If you're not familiar with internet speeds, they tend to improve even faster than processors at the moments. In just a few years your internet speed can double and you can end up unable to fully utilize a high bandwidth package (which are often heavily discounted to be one of the most affordable and functional packages for multiuser households).

You should call them out for it(as much as you can because I know, lawyer and lawsuits are not nice)but if there is something to say, just do it. Fanboys will be fanboys, they won't listen of course, but there will be people who might start to think themself after you tell them why their preferable brand is not doing so good now.

[@GeekaWhat]

I did call them out for it. I wasn't saying 'sorry' because I think I mystically owe Intel something, it's just the way I delivered it. I want stuff to be good, but I will always call out when I think things are good or bad... I mean that was the premise of this entire video.

[@szybkacebula3167]

Im still running my overclocked msi 1080ti gaming x with 11gb vram. Still play the newest games on max settings. And got a i5 14600kf overclocked to 5.7ghz and is running 50-70 degrees tempertures. But im using a watercooler. Also running the ddr5 dominator 7200mhz at 34 latency. 1 is runninh at 7400mhz

Actually looking to build a gaming pc in an old 90´s beige tower that doesn´t have any exhaust fans and only a 80mm intake fan on the lower front. (power supply mounted above the mainboard) Wondering IF it would be possible to use a 5800x3d in that without horrible thermal limiting it. The options i consider right now are a 5800x3d with a big cooler from be quite (will add 2 40mm fans on the rear to create some exhaust), or a 5600x(3d?). With a rtx 4070. It surely would work either way just not to sure about the thermals... Might probably better to go with a lower power ryzen 5 non 3d and go from there. But... i may even end up with a ryzen 9 5950x cause reasons. Sadly water cooling isn´t really a solution in this case, just want a proper 90s sleeper build. I may even consider getting a intel arc a770 cause... reasons.

In Serbia it's about 100$ difference between RX 6750 xt and RTX 4060 ti 16GB. Is it worth to buy 4060 ti 16gb for that extra100$?

[@ThePrimordialArchon]

No its not, the 6750 xt outperforms it

[@JeSuisPaul]

Not at all, buy the RX 6750 xt, even if they were at the same price the RX 6750 xt would still be better because it's outperforming it

[@Treestorm]

Gen 3 M.2 is fine. Games honestly don't need gen 4 read/write speeds that is more for workstations and they get super hot if you don't have enough airflow or your Mobo do not give you good sinks for them. You better off save that extra 30 dollars get a gen 3 M.2 and put that extra money into something else like a better motherboard or better cooling or fans.

[@iamkepler186f]

12:46 Why did I feel pain?.... Thanks for the advice. I'm planning to upgrade my 10-year-old rig

[@TheBanjoShowOfficial]

I don’t really see any price conscious upgrade for me worth doing other than going to lga 1700 as of right now because it’s the only way I can reuse my 32gb of ddr4 and my CPU cooler. So I’m saving a ton of money on just those things not having to be purchased again. Sure, I’ll have to switch over at some point in the future again, but that tends to be the case anyway when talking about doing cpu upgrades. Most people aren’t buying a new cpu every year or two years. I’ve had my current i7 7700k for 5 years. It has served me well, it’s at the end of its life to me, so now I have to switch motherboard. But chips like the i5 13600k came out literally a year ago, they’re still brand new for most people, and they’re very cheap to find on eBay, often going sub $200. It’s really a no brainer to me. Like yeah I could wait and buy a new chip with a socket that’ll be in service for years to come, but firstly I don’t know if that socket will ACTUALLY be in service for years to come and by then it wouldn’t be worth it to upgrade to that last generation of cpus on that socket if we used the same logic. And I’d be spending double or triple the amount as well. So yeah I’m gonna get myself a 13600k

hello hope u r good i have a 7800 xt and a corsair h150 cooler I'm looking forward to buy a cool case cz my case is getting heat alot i don't want a fish tank one, cz u said its not that great what do u recommend for me sir.(i dont care about the price alot but the lower the better if it does the work)

[@dianaalyssa8726]

There are a lot of air flow cases, maybe a Montech Air 100. My 7800XT is in an Antec NX410 White case. There are a lot of non-fishtank airflow cases, as long as you can fit the GPU and the front intake is mesh I think the airflow has a chance. Case I have has 2 x 140 intake and 120 exhaust. Would price 60-100 about what you might spend on a decent case.

[@cosmo8400]

great video man

[@Micromation]

CPU-wise, overwhelming majority of gamers doesn't need anything more expensive than 7500F and that will most likely continue being the case even after 9000 series release. It's £120 CPU that performs on par with 5800X3D in overwhelming majority of games. Buying into AM4 platform now doesn't make slightest financial sense unless you already own all pieces of the puzzle and are rocking someting like Ryzen 2600X. As owner of 7700X, 7950X3D and now 7500F courtesy of AliExpress, the last one is more than adequate for each and every gaming needs if you're targeting 1440p+ resolutions under 360fps... As for PSUs, 2nd hand unit that holds golden badge on PSU Tierlist will always be a better choice than brand new cheap or noname PSU. Case in point Thermaltake GF1 850W goes for around £40 these days and is amongst the golden standard for ATX 2.4 PSUs and will outlive your current and the next build after that anyway... assuming 850W is enough to power it 😅

[@ThatBlenderGuy1]

Idk only the people who have never used one says its bad. Maybe its just my config but i was playing sons of the forest with my friend who has a 4070. I have a 4060 ti, both of us got about 120 fps at 1080p ultra settings so. Both get about the same performance with the 4060 ti being about 150 bucks less

[@dooraexploore9388]

I think the advice here against the ryzen 9 7900x cpu doesn't apply to non-gamer heavy productivity software users (3d rendering/editing/graphics design etc) in their case, the 7900x is actually superior, the 7800X3D is better at literally everything else though, especially gaming

[@sdvmnc]

thx a lot, I was watching some of your other vids because im trying to build a pc!

[@vslaysfn]

Is the vetnus 2x black RTX 4060 still good regardless of the money value

[@kathelotvs]

I don't regret going 4060 ti. I bought the 16gb model and it runs very well, speeds up my system from the 1660 super. I don't really game, I don't really do much, but I make music and render stuff. So I feel like it's a good card. The 8gb model is bullshit though

[@matheass93]

i think at this point intel already fixed most of the problems,i don't hear anything bad about Arc for the last half a year. and if you only compare raw stats then a arc 770 is slightly better than a RX7600 while costing 40$ less.

[@B7UEYE]

If you’re thinking of getting a 4069 legit just get ANY mid or high end of the previous generation. Especially the AMD gpus have really reasonable prices, you can also get 1440p cards for the same price as a 4060. It’s just a bad card, low vram, high price.

Rx 7600 isn't that bad, at least in my country. If you only consider non used gpus it has the same price as rx 6650xt while having a little better performance and lower power consumption. I got one for 250 USD. Rx 6750xt is over 100usd more expensive.

[@androidboygaming9884]

Dude, need help…is 4070 12GB better or 7800XT for 1440p gaming? I don’t care about DLSS or FSR…I just need better Fps! Im upgrading from 1650ti along with 5 5600 to 7 7800X3D

[@TacticalCorn]

no 7800xt is faster for straight up peformance

[@fxfxrki]

7800xt has better pure rasterization performance. Since you said yourself you don't care bout DLSS anyways, go for the 7800xt. If the 7900gre doesn't cost much more go for that one instead

[@stefansarajlic6023]

7800 xt is better

[@MasePlaysGames]

Get a 4070 super for like $40 more as it outperforms the 7800xt and is more well rounded as it’s an nvidia card

[@ce3dubbzz]

[@ryanhampshire7042]

I think gaming on my 2nd gen i5 2500 with 1050ti gives me similar gaming performance to my 12th gen i5 12600 with rtx 3060 and the tech industry has been gouging our wallets for minimal benefits as the 2 systems i described above were build roughly a decade apart.

[@dustinstormes845]

Sounds to me like he's saying it's better to buy a 3060 than a 7600. I'm trying to get the best gpu I can afford and the 7600 has about the minimum performance for what I'm looking to build but it's also the most I wanna spend on a gpu.

[@ramyRHM]

non x3d chips can be better than x3d chips (excluding the 7800x3d) because they have 2 CCDs and cpu struggles to pick one plus only 8 cores benefit from the x3d thing and you wont need it unless gaming

[@tigerbalm666]

That rear fan is useless, and the 3 back side fans. Too many fans create too much bad turbulance. Imagine cars moving faster on a one-way lane as opposed to 2-way lane...

You really helped me so thanks about it. but i have to ask do you think that the corsair vengeance 6000mhz 36cl is good enough for the 7800x3d? (my main game is fortnite).

[@redwheat333]

get cl30

[@lubieplackim]

You should go with 32 or 30 cas latency

[@tuutela]

It is however good to remember that the cas latency does not directly tell anything about the actual latency as time it takes to recall an item from memory. It only tells how many clock cycles it takes. For example the latency of dd4 3200 cl16 ha sthe same latency in time wise as ddr5 6400 cl32. (As the ccyles go double as fast). Bandwith is a lot greater of cource in ddr5. (Double that).
