I take issue with the intro! Budget is NOT the first consideration. The first consideration is what you want your PC to do! Think about it: if all you want to do is play Fortnite, a budget of $4,000 for an elite high-end system might be an inappropriate budget for the system, even if you can afford it. Conversely, if you want a system that’s going to make you money, whether it’s number crunching, rendering, or for music production, you need to know that up front so your budget and part priorities reflect your needs. Also, it bares mentioning: if you’re building a PC purely for gaming and you have $600, and you either don’t know what you’re playing yet, or determine that the games you want to play are available on console, get a console! But if your intention is to do more with your computer, and waiting a few months will significantly increase your potential budget, wait the few months!

1:06 The only thing I would change in the basic build is to add a 500GB M.2 drive for the OS and use the 1TB for data storage and applications. This would add $35.00 to the build. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a major upgrade down the line. 7:01 There are a lot of good reviews for the Gigabyte M27Q. Low end HDR displays use edge backlighting, not local dimming. You don't see many 34" ultrawide monitors, that are flat. 8:28 Buying two 16GB kits of 2 X 8Gb is only $10.00 more than one 2 X 16GB set. 10:10 Air > Water, less fuss. 12:30 Some people say this is more money than sense, other wound say it's a statement piece. I say if it makes you happy and you have the money, go for it. Air-cooling a i9-13900k may result in thermal throttling. If you want to take your build to level 4, incorporate a local artist you like, into it.

If you mix kits from a top rated manufacturers like G.Skill, Corsair and Crucial and keep the speed at or below 3600, you should be fine. I upgraded my system so many times, I ended up with 4 kits of 2 X 16GB at 3200 CL16. Slow by today's standard, but because they are a high end kits from G.Skill, I've never had a BSoD.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe going with 4x16 GB in the high end build at 16:18 will have difficulty reaching the advertised 6200 MT/s speeds. Users running 4 sticks of DDR5 usually have their speeds capped out at 4800 MT/s (or slightly higher with custom overclocking). Better to go with 2x32 GB, which can reach the advertised speeds and has better XMP/EXPO support. But I agree the build would look much more complete filling all 4 RAM slots.

I have the 34in ultrawide version of the HP 27 inch monitor and I love it. Thinking about picking up the 27 to add to my set up.

I would encourage anyone who is on a budget to wait and try to save a little more money so you can have $1200 to $1500 to build a tower because that way you aren't making hard compromises. A $1500 tower today is a 4k gaming, video production powerhouse. The only difference between a $1500 tower and a $4000 tower for most people is higher frame rates at 4k. A $1500 tower will play almost all 4k games at 60fps and for those that don't just go 1440p.

I think there are plenty of reasons to build a gaming PC with console levels of performance: * Customizability * Upgradability * Massive back catalogue to choose from * Choice of storefront - even if you stick with Steam you can buy keys to use with Steam through other stores like Humble Bundle. * Larger indie scene * Emulators allowing you to play games from bygone eras without having to collect the physical hardware Although I will say that below the price of a Steam Deck + dock it might not be worth building something and instead use that for your primary device.

not only the cost but am4 has some really nice looking boards much better than what there is to choose from on am5

I've been building for 20 years now and 1 thing I never cheap out on is the PSU. Most quality psu's will last 10+ years and a higher wattage gives you more expansion options.

I think the only partially misleading bit is referring to them as beginner, expert etc in terms of level 3. Someone who buys an expensive high end artsy build displays no more skill than the beginner. Not unless they're crafty and actually fabricated said case or something. Plenty of people who know what they're doing who opt to spend their money more wisely and it might mean a less flashy case but one that costs less, still has great airflow and cut back on the rgb to instead put it into components that gain real performance. These levels are instead more just price based.

For $2500 including tax, I just built a i7-13700K, RX 6950XT, 32GB DDR4 machine in a Hyte Y60 with two 27" 1440p 170 Hz IPS monitors. Plenty of RGB, Kraken X63 AIO (only used part.) You don't need $4000 to get to level 2.75.

Definitely expert… but I sometime forget to check the psu cable lengths when building an sff and that’s not pretty on the day of building 😂.
