i think a cool concept would be a video of coming back to whoever you gave the boosted builds to a few weeks to a month later and seeing how they liked it, if they made any changes, etc. You can sometimes find them in the comments too which you could use and if they supply any pictures of their builds that would be really cool as well for a video follow up.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

If your motherboard has an M.2 slot on it, you should just be able to put it in. Then you can create a windows installation media, disconnect your sata drive (turn off and unplug the PSU when making hardware swaps) and reinstall using the USB drive. In the bios you could also change the boot devices instead of unplugging but honestly I find it easier to unplug a cable.

Or if you're looking for a White build there's a Newegg Combo with the 7950X and ASRock X670E Steel Legend for $776.98. You don't need 670E as B650/B650E is perfectly fine but since there are 7950X combo deals with 670E it's a good option.

I upgraded from a 4790k recently after it served me well all those years. Old ddr3 with working mainboard and cpu got surprisingly expensive. I sold everything old except for my Dark rock pro 3 cooler, the gtx 1080 and my haf x case. For under 100€ (if I factor in the sold equipment) I went from 16gb ddr3 and 4790k with low end no wifi/bluetooth mainboard to 32gb ddr4 with tight timings and a Ryzen 5800x on a x570 motherboard with Bluetooth and wifi 6. I even got another 1tb m.2 ssd. Sure ... I traded used for used. But the new setup is lightning fast in comparison, was basically free and I can upgrade the GPU whenever I want in the future. Currently the 1080 is ok for cad work and League of Legends. I saw all parts running and were able to benchmark before I bought to see if everything works fine. Now ... knowing that building a pc is fun and actually pretty cheap in comparison, I would buy used again any day od the week.

Out of curiosity, when it comes to picking out products you suggest for builders, do you consider things like the noise level of fans, build quality, return rates, etc.? I'm one of those that 'got bit by the Corsair bug' during my last build and have basically every type of product they make. I chose them because of peace of mind and having used them in the past, know that the experience is good. However, I keep watching this entire video series of yours and see where I could do better with picking other brands in my future builds. I just worry, if something were to go wrong later with a non-Corsair product, am I going to be paranoid and always think that will be the cause of it... I like peace of mind. But I also like cheaper.

Hi Jason, I am looking to build a rig for about $900 that's got a very strong CPU to play esport titles such as valorant, fortnite, could you squeeze in a 7800x3d in a $900 build? Or would i have to downgrade

[@OdinAlgeron]

valorant likes intel, the sweet spot is the 12700k(f) fortnight runs on a potato, the 12700k(f) demolishes it so a 13700k(f) setup would be better and cheaper than a 7800x3d rig

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So for games like Valorant you still want to focus on your GPU choice, but because the games are easy to run your GPU will be putting out a lot of frames so you want a CPU that can handle it. But a $449 CPU is not what you want for this in a $900 build. Go to our 5600 build guide video instead. Much better choice for this build need.

[@sandymccabe7670]

I think the Rx 6700 XT with the USD 700 budget build may have been better. Video editing would be a pain with that i3 13100f, but an upgrade down the line to a i5 or i7 would net you a bunch of nice E-cores. Great for editing. Quicksync is also a good boon for an Intel build.

Hi Jason! Quick question, looking to upgrade my GPU from my 1070. Will also be upgrading RAM and PSU but wanting to know what would pair for best results without bottleneck with i7 8700k? Also wanting to OC the CPU as well. Also considering submitting a new build for your next BMB episode but if I can get by with good graphics on 1080p and good performance on MSFS 2020 with an upgraded GPU and RAM with the 8700k OC'd for awhile then may just do that while I build up some money for a real nice setup in the future. Thank you!

[@ivantsipr]

I don't think upgrading your PSU and ram would be any good in a platform that old, it would be best to just save $$ to do a whole new build on a modern platform, I'm pretty sure a 12th gen i3 (12100) outperforms your 8700k. Any modern GPU (AMD 6000 series /Nvidia 3000 series ) would be bottlenecked on your CPU.

I like how you still recommended him the ryzen even if they said they wanted intel, because at that price, it is the best, if you want to do some video editing. i would totally listen to your advide if i were them.

[@Entropics7075]

Hi Jason, can you recommend me value PC parts to complete my build? I’d like to go for 1440p What I have: MicroCenter 7900x RAM Mobo NZXT H7 Flow Samsung 980 Pro Id like to cut costs on: PSU CPU Cooler (AIO or Air) GPU Monitor Fans?

[@SanjaySharma94847]

Hey I was asking as far as I know after the drivers update on the intel GPUs the a750 and a770 has gotten wayy better, does this apply to the a380? Or will it get better drivers in the future or if I should wait till the next generation of intel GPUs?

[@ChubyBoi]

The a380 is just not a good card

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I don't recommend that GPU, see our latest GPU Market Update video for more on the best GPUs to buy right now!

[@SanjaySharma94847]

@@PCBuilderChannel Thanks for the reply. I am thinking to build a gaming pc for about 45k ruppes which is roughly 550 usd.

[@ivantsipr]

​​@@SanjaySharma94847then get the a750, the a380 is a basic GPU, just good for display or a HTPC for blu ray play back but not good for gaming.

[@salohi1990]

Great content as always love to see it. 7:40 the MONTECH AIR 100 ARGB comes with 4 ARGB fans with 3-pin connector, with a fan/argb hub can be connected straight to the motherboard, i have it right next to me actually. However, max fan speed is 1200 rpm

Hi Jason, this topic is unrelated to this series, but I recently built a PC with an X570s motherboard with Wifi 6 onboard. But when I load into windows, it there is no wifi connection at all. Can you help me please?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Did you install the motherboard driver for it? Double check the bios settings as well. Can always jump into the device manager in Windows and check to see its status. Can be a lot of things, for more help go to the reddit build a pc forum and post a troubleshooting post and you'll get help.

Can I go to find current builds that are auto pricing updated that PC Builder certified tm per class?

[@whiteypants7074]

I built with a fractal north. Excellent looking case. Its just thin. I would not reccomend an aio in the top, so either remove that front fans and mount it there, or go air cooling. Not sure about custom loops tho idk. Otherwise, the case is awesome

When will the next one be? And how do you choose which of the many comments to boost?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Next round will be in May! We have people post their pc part picker links to a community post calling for the lists. We go over each one and look for the ones that need the most help. From there we choose based on getting a variety of budgets and build needs per video so everyone will see something useful to them (:

Can you tell me what parts to buy for the best gaming PC or even what pre build? I have a $1500 budget, and idk what I'm doing. It's just so complicated, but I want the best I can get 🙏

Great BMB video! How can we lowly amateur builders submit a build for possible review and roasting?

[@entropicdoom8018]

Jason, I built a PC in 2013 using a CaseLabs Mercury S5 + Pedestal. I have 2 x 120mm radiators in case and 2 x 240 radiator in pedestal. CPU is I7-4770K and a Nvidia 780Ti. 32Gb of memory and 500Gb of storage on an SSD. I water cooled CPU, GPU, and Memory. Anyway, I am hoping to upgrade my system. I want to water cool, it has been reliable for 10 years now even with intense mathematical modeling running for weeks at a time. I want to stick with an Intel CPU (I helped develop Ice Lake through Meteor Lake thus I would feel like a turncoat if I went with AMD CPU) but GPU I am more flexible with brand. Gaming (priority 1) and computational modeling are my goals. How can I contact you for recommendations?

[@NzLand3r]

Hahaha this was a great one! Unlearn what you have learned from advertising and get wise with Jason! 😝

[@PCBuilderChannel]

haha thank you! Hope you are having a great end to the week!

[@hayesgamingtv]

Hey Jason I went with the gigabyte b550 aorus elite AX V2 with Ryzen 5600 paired with rtx 3060 ti. Do you still recommend this motherboard over the $700 brother 2 build motherboard?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Right now the Aorux Elite AX V2 B550 is on sale for $159 so $30 more and you essentially get bios flashback and Wifi 6 (and bluetooth) which to me is worth $30 if you want those features. If not, the B550M Steel Legend is a great value board with some premium features.

[@DesireProspers]

What budget cooler do you recommend for a 12700k should i save my money and get a 360 mm or a try a 280 or i was thinking of getting the NH D15

[@kelley09162]

I wouldn't say the NH D15 because it's not worth the money. The Deepcool AK620 is about as good as that for a decent amount less.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hop over to our 12600K build guide video, Id use the same list for 12700

[@adventwolfbane]

Good show. Liked the budget builds shows what you can do with the best choices. I have a new Arc A770 LE GPU was wondering what CPU you think is a good combo for it?

[@kelley09162]

5600 for AMD or 12400/13400 for Intel.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

What Ty said! But I would say 5600 or 13400 (not loving 12400 price to performance right now). Check out our recent 5600 build guide for more

[@odysseus9797]

You mentioned that with so much cash on the 7800x3d ram speeds no longer matter (much). Is the same true for the 5800x3d? I was planning to build a PC with the latter (paired with an rx6800 normal or xt not sure yet)

[@abelmusic9355]

Yes its almost same with the 5800x3d but getting higher ram speed and lower latency will still be a bit better than having normal average clock speeds on the ram.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hop over to our 5800X3D build guide!

Awesome content, but i think you made a mistake on the brothers 600 usd motherboard. You suggested the gigabyte B660 with an i3 13100f, but that wouldn't work because the mobo doesn't have bios flashback, and i dont think the bios would be updated either...

[@vONESHOTKILLERv]

Does it matter if the motherboard has entry level audio in it if i already have a dac and amp combo? I just use headphones

[@PCBuilderChannel]

If using a DAC the onboard audio on the motherboard doesn't matter as you are passing the signal off digitally to the DAC for the analog conversion.

[@nikolajsawitsch6978]

I love your PC build videos, you're always straight forward with telling why something is worse than something else in consideration of all factors.

Sure there is the ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A also that is white, but im still not sure about that. Does anyone here know more?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks! Check out our best motherboards for Ryzen 7000. The X670E-A is the white version you are looking for, HOWEVER, nobody needs X670 so consider the B650 version instead. Rest of the build looks good but is very premium ($$$).
