PC Parts You Should AVOID Buying in 2024! ❌

I bought a case with bad air flow because it was the only case that met my requirements in my sub $50 case budget. Thanks to some power tools and a complete disregard for my case's resale value, it now has amazing airflow.

@@mohammedbest786 it's nothing special. I just took a drill with a bit that's bigger than the holes in the case and just drilled out the holes to make them wider. I didn't realize until after I got the front done that I was applying too much pressure and had warped the front so my fans rub and make a horrible noise by I have a loud sound bar and subwoofer combo. I plan on just taking an angle grinder with a cutting disc and just cutting out the front since it's warped I've just been lazy lol

I DO NOT regret going Intel ARC A750. It gets me very high frame rates in everything I play ( Fortnite, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, Warthunder and many other titles )... I don't have ANY issues with it on any title I've played! It's half the price of the 4060 and often competes on a 1:1 FPS against it ( my son runs a 4060 beside me so I know this first hand!! )

[@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)

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.

[@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.

No brainer imo and if the cooler last for years it will be futureproof.

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.

4060 and 4060Ti have 16 gigs of VRAM available as well, not to mention that they are able to use DLSS3 and Framegeneration, which is quality-wise still better than AMD's solutions. Buying an older 3070 for example cuts down on those features, pushes you to use suboptimal 3rd party solutions and are also more powerhungry aka inefficient. Not to mention, that a 4060Ti is pretty much on par with the 3070 in rasterizing, but exceeds in the Raytracing category. Gen4 NVMe's: Dont recommend the P3 Plus, as it has terrible TBW rates and just exceeds Gen 3 Performance by a wee bit aka is a Gen4 slow poke that could petentially break quickly. If you have just Gen3 available on your board, the other 2 are good options, but if you have Gen4 and want to have a drive that gets near the limit of Gen4, but is still affordable, i'd suggest a Lexar NM790 for example, its fast, affordable has very high TBW rates and also doesnt get very hot.

It should be fine.

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).

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.

TLDR: Since my new R5 7600x doesn't come with a heatsink I'd rather spend the extra $40 on an AIO since it runs cooler, is easier to keep clean, and allows me to upgrade to a R7 without worrying about upgrading the cooler. If I knew for certain I wouldn't get a higher end CPU, or I had a very tight budget, then I agree to save your money. FULL: In my mind, I'd rather buy a 240 or 360 mm AIO for $50-80 and know my CPU will stay cool and last me for longer, than spend $0-30 less for an air cooler that is more tedious to clean, and potentially lead to higher temps and a need to replace the CPU faster. I'm in the process of building a new PC and replacing my ryzen 5 3600 with a 7600x. I'm definitely buying an AIO since they're fairly cheap, look better, work more efficiently, and the CPU doesn't include a heatsink. Then if I decide I want to get a ryzen 7 9000 series CPU, I won't need to buy a better cooler. However, I suppose a person who has no need or desire to upgrade, or is on an extremely tight budget would be better off getting a $20 air cooler.

[@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.

[@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).

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@timondemuys9198]

Why no gen 3 it isn't a bottleneck at least now and within 5 years still not

[@bobboman]

if you are buying an RX 6800, you might as well buy it new, i just built a computer and paid 370 for it, going to ebay to buy it used would ended up with me paying more because of shipping

[@makxzyrun2934]

Im waiting for the new 50 series to upgrade my RTX 3060Ti. The problem will be the GPU and CPU combo to have the best performance. Need help

[@SK_30241]

You’ve got a new subscriber! Thanks for the info 😊

[@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...

[@SniperWolf2024]

If you have a 3070 and up you should upgrade your monitor! To a 144HZ to 250HZ if you can afford it. Anything 250FPS you can’t tell if there is not FPS counter. 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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 😅

[@GreyDeathVaccine]

Any recommendation for AM4 mobo for Ryzen 5900X?

[@williamtaylor2572]

great video. You nailed all of them except number Nine.You failed to mention a really important resource There is a list of power supplies rated from a to d. They all have been tested.

Good Advice, but please don't apologize for dissing Intel 13 & 14th Gen CPU's. This Dumpster Fire is Raging!!

[@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

[@vslaysfn]

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

[@snakeplissken1754]

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.

Gen 3 nvme ssds are fast enough that you really won't know the difference between it and a gen 4 ssd. Not unless your moving massive files, in which case your going to need more storage than a 1TB drive.

[@aaronj3245]

the 9000 series chips are mostly just more efficient chips at $100 price increases. for gaming they are not worth it yet.

Why would I not by a processor if the whole pc doesn't turn on without it? This guy is stupid in this one 🗣🔥🔥🔥

Avoid DDR5 32GB high CAS latency? 6:18 There is a numbers like this "CL-46-46-46-90 DDR5", and for DDR4 there is "CL-18-22-22-42", what is that mean and which numbers we should care about?

[@Crusher91]

For ddr5 the sweetspot is ddr5 6000mhz cl30 to cl36, for ddr4 3200/3600 mhz cl16

@@Crusher91 Oh very nice, so random brand is okay right? like kingbank, apacer, or PNY.. similar brand not really popular?

The 3070 only has 8gb of vram. Just get a used 6700xt, used 6800, used 6800xt, or 10gb used 3080.

If you can’t win with a 1070, 2060, 4060 (all the same horse power) then you don’t deserve an upgrade, plain and sample! if you want the real nice GPU like a 4070S or 4080S and your not a pro your throwing money away! 😂❤🎉 get a AMD for purely gaming and Intel Nvidia if your a true pro! ❤❤❤❤😂
