I am looking forward to playing Starfield when it comes out. Would love to have a "Starfield" PC suggested build video or video segment! (My pc is a Ryzen 1600 and a GTX 1070, working on figuring out a PC that will play Starfield nicely). Would love to see options for mid to high end builds meant for Starfield. Ty.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

It's okay. We're getting a Miami Microcenter next year (not too far). Have parts aside, current psu, spare case, and cooler ready. But I haven't went ham on an upgrade build yet. D4 went better for server slam than WoW but that still gets 1440p done with FSR compromise. 9600k 3060 holding up until I move on. Am on 32gb ram, so I like that DDR5 prices for ram are comparable to what I shelled out for my DDR4 kit back in the day (2019).

[@SupremeDP]

Thank you for: 1. Including a real minimum budget build. 2. Using the 5500! I know it had a weak release (seems AMD likes those), but when you're scraping savings for cash, that $90 price point is way too good to pass up, considering how little difference there is performance-wise with the 5600. I recently helped two friends make really low budget builds, and went for pretty much that exact build!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Exciting! Check the recommended specs of the programs you use as a baseline for what you will need (:

[@arsenalfanrichi]

Interface is by far the most important consideration for a music production computer. Spend more on a good quality interface than GPU unless you're intending to game too. Look at things like Focusrite scarlett 4i8 or something like that. Go with plenty of ram for running more audio sends. And a mechanical hard drive is useful for audio, the speed isn't necessary, but storing stem files can be extremely consuming for storage.

[@snarlynx1]

What cool is that even though I’d make some different decisions in these you’ve taught me how to THINK about it - like every dollar has to be spent in a way that it’s more valuable than the other ways you could spend it.

[@jeffm6273]

I just want to say I've loved your videos. I was going to just about copy your $1500 build but ran across the I7-12700k with MSI Z690-a Pro wifi MB and 16gb of DDR4-3200 ram bundle for $349 at Microcenter today. It's going in a Lian Li 205 mesh case. Now to rethink the GPU, maybe a RX 6800 to keep everything under $1500 including Windows 11 home.

[@rozzbourn3653]

on the $2800 build, i would have tried to get the 7900 or 7800x3d and dropped the fancy stuff. i think the 13700k was the better cpu over the 7700. you can build a $2800 system with either a 7900 or 7800x3d with a 4090 and similar design features but not in white. that would be the way to go. for $2800 you can have it all.

[@gergoturi7559]

Good point, but I would rather go for an asrock X670E steel legend motherboard instead of a 7800x3d, since ryzen 8000 series is right around the corner. Also while I think the RAM choice in the boosted build isn't terrible, I seriously would consider a 6000 lc 30 or 32 kit. In fact, that's pretty much what I'm going to buy: 7700x with the 7900xtx, oh and of course a different cooler, preferably an air cooler.

[@rozzbourn3653]

@@gergoturi7559 so you are thinking of the 7700 as a placeholder cpu for ryzen 8000? if that was the case, you could just use a 7600 for a few months until we get the 8000 cpus available. the system i put together on newegg for $2800 was with ddr5 6000 cl 30 2x16gb, because i think that is the best for amd. it was an msi b650 tomahawk mobo, 2tb nvme pcie 4.0, bequiet 1000w psu, sama case that looked like the lian li but in black, a 360 aio msi cooler, msi rtx 4090, 7800x3d. i dont think you would have to upgrade that system for a while. i didnt spec windos 11, because you can just get a key for like $14.

[@shoobadoo123]

Even if that's true, 7700 is much cheaper and has upgrade path for future generations

[@gergoturi7559]

@@rozzbourn3653 okey, my use case is a little bit different, I like strategy games a lot, including distant worlds 2 or stellaris, in which case the extra 2 cores are beneficial. The reason I will go for the x version is that's a little bit cheaper in my area than the non-x and I buy the cooler anyway. But that's an other story, 7600 generaly could make sense too. I agree on the win 11, I think installing windows on your own isn't that annoying, so I see no point in spending extra for it.

[@michaelkennedy320]

Great video as always. btw, even though some people likes RGB it doesn't add any value to the build; your money will be better spent on a better GPU, CPU, M.2 NVMe drive or faster memory.

Hey Jason, I hope you are doing great and staying safe! I wish I knew pc parts better and why it works with/compared to another. I know for sure you are the person to come to, and watching videos on price drops, builds, or parts are amazing. Thank you for being the person you are and supporting people who are trying to get a pc. I got a IBuypower pre-built slateMR 203i for 799.99$ or 899.99$ at walmart. I knew the price for the parts weren’t that good, but the prices were bad for 2021-2022. I upgraded ram to 16Gb and got a new 3060 GPU, so my focus is anything around the GPU and ram with a 500 dollar budget. I plan on 1080p gaming at mid-high resolution with 60-90 minimum fps. Including adding an AIO or more fans (no RGB). I can’t find my case, or PSU HP1-J600GD-F12S and IBP fans (3 on the front and one in the back) on pcpartpicker, so I added a link to the pre-built by walmart if that helps and here is the PSU model HP1-J600GD-F12S. #BoostMyBuild and thank you again Jason.

[@gruiadevil]

Hi. I see 4 RAM slots on your mobo. Is it just 1 occupied or 2? From the pics on Walmart, seems that just 1 is occupied. You need to check their Latency and Frequency. I suspect it's 3000 MHz CL 16. So you can just drop in another stick of RAM and save some money. You don't need to replace them. The 11400F doesn't require AIO cooling. A big air cooler should be just fine. The one you have is kinda noisy I suspect. 3060 is fine, but you can afford something better. I can't tell what PSU you have. Probably a weak one, since ... iBuypower/Walmart/Pandemic/GT1030 .... I see you listed a 600W. That should be fine, but we can do better ;) This is what I recommend. I don't know/can't tell the GPU clearance on your case, but it seems a 305mm should fit. CPU Cooler: ID-COOLING SE-224-XTS BLACK 70 CFM CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Aegis 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL16 Memory ($21.13 @ MemoryC) Video Card: ASRock Phantom Gaming D OC Radeon RX 6750 XT 12 GB Video Card ($359.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.99 @ Best Buy) Total: $511.10 In Warzone: On high settings Intel Core i5-11400F can achieve from 140.6 FPS up to 270.3 FPS , with average around 188.7 FPS . On high settings AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT can achieve from 199.8 FPS up to 462.5 FPS , with average around 264.3 FPS . On high settings NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 can achieve from 130.4 FPS up to 301.9 FPS , with average around 172.5 FPS . You're being bottlenecked by the CPU in this scenario, but you can upgrade to QHD to put more pressure on the GPU, and it will balance out then. In QHD, the CPU is going to produce the same FPS, the GPU is going to go down though: On high settings AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT can achieve from 150.3 FPS up to 347.9 FPS , with average around 198.8 FPS . On high settings NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 can achieve from 98.1 FPS up to 227.0 FPS , with average around 129.7 FPS . If you do wanna stick to FHD though, an RX 7600 should be just fine and 140$ cheaper than the 6750XT or 40$ cheaper than the 3060 while having more performance.

[@madmycc]

@@gruiadevil hey, the 2 ram sticks are occupied currently in the first and 3rd slot. It's running at the expected MHz CL in bios (if that's the right term for ram speed?). I think otherwise for the AIO cooling since the CPU temp runs kind of high at 35C in bios with having fans on full speed (it's noisy) but I could be wrong? I'm not too of the temp when running a game at low-mid settings at 1080p or college assignments. The PSU is C tier at 600w, so I think that's good for now. It can definitely fit a 305mm, but not looking to change GPU so fast. The CPU cooler has good reviews and good temps according to other buyers. I will look into both a AIO and big air cooler. That's amazing and really do appreciate the results of the settings. I'm not too sure what you mean with the CPU upgrade to QHD.

[@gruiadevil]

@@madmycc Ok :) So you have 2 sticks of RAM. That's fine. You can add another 2 sticks of the RAM I suggested, and get to 24 Gb and that should be enough for the next 4-5 years for anything you want to do. Your CPU runs fine. The cooler you got right now is weak and noisy, that's why you have high temperature. You don't need a liquid cooler AIO. A sturdy Air cooler will do the job just fine. The CPU can't be upgraded to QHD, I don't know what you understand from what I said. QHD = QuadHighDefinition = 2K = 2560x1440 resolution, which is a higher resolution than Full HD 1920x1080 and lower than 4K 3800x2160. The higher resolution, the more detail you can see -> better visual experience. But this would require for you to upgrade your display. In the future, you can look into that, read some stuff, about people comparing the 2 resolutions. Note: The more resolution, the more strain on your GPU, so you need more GPU processing power. That's why I recommended for that category more powerful GPU-s. But. The CPU doesn't need to be upgraded. It makes no difference for the CPU the change in resolution. The CPU can chunk out 140 FPS and 720p, 140 FPS in FHD, and 140FPS in 4K. That's all the FPS he can chunk out. He sends those FPS to the GPU. If the GPU is strong enough, he can either display all of them, or not. So, did you already got the RTX 3060? If so, there's no need for a GPU upgrade, indeed. That should set you up fine.

[@jasonhenninger8220]

The new Montech 903 Air Base @ $65 is getting alot of good press. Or the Max for $75 with ARGB fans. The $1400 build; I would have suggested the 6800xt for $100 less and gone for upgraded MB. Currently Amazon has the 7600x @ $218.98 For the high end build, would offer the Montech 903 Air Base(W) @ $69 if trying to keep a white theme. Otherwise save the $4 :) . The 7700x is just a couple $ more. Feel more comfortable with the MSI Gaming X over the Zotac. (Totally a personal issue). For$108 GSkill has a white 32G 6000 cl30 kit. Or if not RGB the Tforce Vulcan 5600 cl32 for $11 less. Or Flare X5 5600 cl30 for $2 more.

[@ardithconley2628]

I am a old time PC builder. Been doing this since the the 80s. I got tons of parts over the years. Between upgrades of the AMD 4050 and B550 upgrades gave me some great parts. Such as a 5600X CPU 32 g 4x8 mem matching kit. I got this idea of making a test pc. I bought a new case and PSU to pull this off. I had a new 550 PSU never opened and a cases but I wanted a different look and I know that I will be testing graphics cards. I need more power than a 550 watt PSU so I got a Modular 1050 watt for $71 on amazon. Case I think the one I got may be a little over priced but it will do. AZZA CSAZ-280B Spectra for $59 amazon I got a renewed MSI Torpedo B550 MB for $109 to give me all the parts I need to build my GPU testing system. I had about 3 B450 MBs but I wanted the Gen 4 lanes. Now all I need is the GPUs so I will start with RX 480 for testing I got from amazon for $99. After I get my new rig put together. that is $338 to start this project. not to bad. Beet that! You know that is not going to be the GPU that PC will end up with.

[@Idtelos]

Other than the aio and gpu choice, that last build is decent. for 4k@120hz, not much performance difference (aside from power consumption) between i7-13700k and the 7800x3d. If he goes to $3k, he can easily get that 4090, faster ram (more ram) and a better mobo.

When you run 2 separate NVME drives, you can go into the BIOS and configure them in RAID0 which produces faster read and write speeds than a single NVME storage unit

[@gruiadevil]

While NVME Raid is possible ... OS on a Raid system is a pain in the butt ... Find one of Linus's videos where he did ... He went balls deep, put 4 Sabrent Rockets drives in Raid0 for a 20.000 Mb/s Write/Read speed just so his system to crash and inevitably he switched to a 7000Mb/s drive when he upgraded his personal rig ...

In regards to the first PC. I built a PC around 2018 with a 4tb hard drive for storage and a 1tb SATA SSD as a boot drive. I used the hard drive for games and some light video editing. What I found out was everything takes so much longer on a hard drive. Games would take forever to start and editing video was slow. I ended up buying a nvme 1tb SSD and using my other sata 1tb SSD for a games drive and editing and using the hard drive just for storage.

Went with the ASUS Prime B450 you mention here, but chose Ryzen 5600g because I like onboard video capability for diagnostic options if needed. Waited on the SSD and today bought the KingSpec 1TB, never heard of it but it hits the price as the SP stuff seems to have gone back up a bit. Bought the RAM you have here. Thanks for the insights.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad we could help!

[@SamuelKB.000]

At 14:19 the 7600x is a cheaper and better CPU though runs slightly hotter and uses slight bit more power but still should keep in mind (cheaper in UK right now don't know about US)

[@Cybur_]

2 questions on the second build: Would the ryzen 5 7600 bottleneck the 6950xt? Would you need a larger watt psu to run the 6950xt?

[@kelley09162]

No it would not bottleneck. As for the PSU you'd need to put your build into PC Part Picker and times the watts by 1.5 to see what watt PSU you need.

[@killstreak5500]

Still watching the video but I love how the first build ended up. I agree 💯 with the storage, my buddy has an Xbox and I have a laptop, even loading into fortnite and COD lobbies you can tell the difference good storage does. I have COD on my sata 2.5 inch drive that is no where close to the speeds of the storage on that build and I still load in almost immediately vs the round has already started and he on Xbox is just now getting into the game.

[@michaeljolley6773]

In general I would say DDR4 : 3600 and DDR5 : 6000 As minimums. I got my NZXT Elite case for $80 returned to Best Buy their returns are almost always in perfect condition.

[@jad1079]

I like that Jason covers $3k-ish builds. That's what I'm most interested in.

I just upgraded everything on my PC besides the GPU, so it's really new PC same GPU. Went with the 7800X3D and it's amazing!

[@Christian-nn9zg]

You mentioned future proofing and it got me thinking how I need to build a new comp...mine is 10+ yrs old, Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H motherboard, Intel 3770k processor, 32gb ddr3 1600 and GTX 650Ti 1gb vram unlocked (came with assassin's creed 3), up till the new games recently (2021+), I haven't had an issue with it, now I won't even buy them because the are incompatible. I haven't looked at components in years and have no where to start and no budget in mind except for being future proof another 10+ yrs. I am not partial to amd or intel regarding cpus and not partial to Amd or Nvidia regarding gpus. The only thing is I have never had good experiences long term with Asus. I built comps/nets back in the win95/98/net4.0 era and my current comp was the last i built. When Windows 11 and Star Wars: Jedi survivor came out and was incompatible with my hardware more than my gpu, i knew i needed to build a new comp. Can you help with a roughly next decade build?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Check out our Best GPU/CPU Combo 2023 video! I think that will start you on your new upgrade journey. You might also check out our PC Parts Explained 2023 just to see what's changed over the years.

[@Md-df8kh]

Hey Jason great video as always. You should do a Starfield pc build. Many people are looking forward to make their first pc anticipating the release of the game. Cheers

[@homerthompson416]

I was running a 250GB SSD until last year and even that was pretty painful. For instance RDR2 is a really large game and I just barely didn't have enough space left on that 250GB SSD so had to install to a mechanical drive and deal with ugly load times. 128GB would really be a mess, you'd be able to install almost nothing to it. Now with a 1TB SSD and still having my old 250GB SSD also installed it's awesome to never have to play a game from a mechanical drive again. I was a late holdout on the small SSD plus big mechanical drive bandwagon but SSD is so cheap now it doesn't make any sense to buy less than 1TB.

[@techno952]

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hi Thomas!! Hope you are having a great week!

[@RhinoXpress]

I mean I see what you are saying about the b550 and going with the b450 was a better option for now, but once he upgrades to a cpu that can take advantage of PCI-e 4.0 the b450 motherboard wont take advantage of it. I'm looking at it more towards future upgrades here.

[@gruiadevil]

B550 boards are limited to 5800x3D or 5950X. 5800x3D tops out a 6950XT in QHD or a 7900XTX in 4K. Unless you want to play in 8K on a GPU that doesn't exist yet, nobody needs PCIe4.0 on B550. The loss is minimal. The only place where it would be useful is SSD. But again. A 3500/3000 Sequential Read/Write is plenty enough for gaming+occasional video-editing. You don't need a 5000/7000 Mb/s drive unless you're doing some pro-work.

[@RhinoXpress]

@@gruiadevil what are you talking about? B550s are not just limited to those CPUs. You can run a wide variety of zen 2 and zen 3 cpus on b450 boards. Newer higherend gpus already exceed the through put limits of pci e 3.0, especially when paired with multiple newer gen nvmes.

[@bobulator]

Hello Jason, what is the best 1440p gpu I can pair with my ryzen 5600x without bottle necking it. Love the video

@PCBuilderChannel Thanks so much, I will look into this Love the content. I'm looking forward to the next video. 👌

[@jinxdad2809]

Jason, If you buy a GPU with 16GB or more, don't you need more than 16GByte mem on the motherboard, since the app and OS need room to run as well.

[@Jcarini15]

[@Phantom-darkness]

M.2 have come down. Just put 4 gen 4 2 tb ones in raid 0 on my 13900kf build and I’m impressed by the speed of those in raid.

[@Phantom-darkness]

Yeah cooling is important on in the higher end. Got 13 Corsair elite fans on my 13900 build. 3 front 3 side. Did push/pull on the 360 rad with lcd and one in rear For 13 total. In front and side and out top rad and rear. I’m running 30 idle and mid-upper 80’s in cinebench with the AI overclock only. Have some room to move up on clocks.

[@Sergicecream]

What’s up Jason! Is my 5800x not a good match with my rtx 4080? Debating on upgrading to a 5800x3d or spend the money for a 7800x3d with supporting parts that needs to be paired with newer cpu

[@rogued3mon414]

5800x will actually support a 4080. No need to upgrade the CPU unless you feel like it.

[@Sergicecream]

@@rogued3mon414 thanks for the input, I mostly play warzone 2 and see my frames in the 160-170 range I thought maybe my 5800x can’t keep up to put me closer to the 200fps range

[@johnnunez9295]

As someone who's not in the US I was wondering if the prices you quote are the "final" price the user pays or if there are taxes to add on afterwards. I'm in the UK and a "cheap" 4090 is £1,600 (= $2,000) over here (inc tax), quite the difference.

[@gruiadevil]

US doesn't list prices with tax. So that's never the final price, which you see in these builds. We, in the EU, have Tax + Import fees on lots of products which are imported from the US or somewhere else, if it's not being made in the EU. I think there's a factory being built in Germany right now which should cut costs on the importing fees. But yeah ... since Brexit, you'll have to pay those either way :)) So yeah, your stuff is always going to be more expensive. But at least you got rid of the immigrants? :)) Right? :))

[@HERBALSS]

Whats better a ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 or a XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 6600 CORE

[@kelley09162]

6600. I don't think anyone recommends the 3050.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

If these are our choices 6600 for sure. See our recent Best GPU for Gaming 2023 video for lots more on this

[@huepfhoernchen]

Jason, is a Ryzen 7600x to powerful for a 6700xt in 1440p(maybe even ultrawide)? What to get?

[@itsatrap4986]

Yeah, it's overkill for the 6700XT. But it is a new platform and is able push a 4090.

[@kelley09162]

No that's fine, but I would get the 7600 instead as it's cheaper and uses less power.

[@DavidUnderhill]

The last build still FEATURED windows install DVD ? Either the download or usb Options would be preferable as no DVD drive

[@PCBuilderChannel]

OOf!

[@twal3]

In that first case study, I think the builder might be planning to install the OS on the 128GB SD (have a dedicated OS drive), and then install everything else on the larger secondary drive. Thought there was some advantage to having a separate (dedicated) OS drive.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

There is no longer any advantage to partitioning storage that way, check out our Best SSD for Gaming 2023 video for more.

[@carrionwithout_me]

Welcome back to boost my build where you break pc part picker and we fix it! Excited for this episode, let's get into it!

[@lamardoss]

I have a career in AI and I also like to game every now and do photo/video editing as well as have massive music production software and sample packs for my side hobby... I have 10 terabytes worth of SSDs in my rig and still looking to add that much more, at least, in a home server to the side. I only have about 1.5 tb available space for storage currently. Can never have too much storage. Lol.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

The storage goes so fast its true! Thanks for being a channel member!!

[@themannamedjames8766]

I'm helping a church to build a new production computer and was wondering if you had anything new. Great timing and video!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Cool! My recommendation would depend on the type of production, but start by checking the system requirements of the programs they use. Most likely you will want a Nvidia GPU (pairs best with most production programs) 32gb of ram and probably 2 or more tb of storage.

[@Make_It_So]

That PSU was a good choice since he wanted to some future upgrades. Replacing the PSU after upgrading the GPU is a pain.

[@Pete856]

Just wondering why you use ATX sized cases on mATX boards? They're not small cases and I don't think they offer any better cooling than a well designed mini tower. It just seems a waste and looks strange having those bottom 3 slots doing nothing below the board. I'm using a Cooler Master "MasterBox MB311L A-RGB" mini tower, cost around US$70 spent another $5 for a rear fan. It looks good, was easy to build in and has great airflow.

[@-Tropico]

does the aorus b650m is a good mobo for ryzen 5 7600 and rtx 4070 with 450w psu

[@williamduncan7401]

For the build with the 6600 XT imo you could go with the R5 4500 which is $75 (and often lower) and for this GPU it should work just fine and put that extra money into a better SSD.

[@shoobadoo123]

[@kaseyboles30]

The rx6600 series is 8x pcie4 and does loose some performance on pcie 3. The 3600 is close in price to the 5500 and on a b5xx board can give you the pcie 4 lanes to run it properly. At it's perf level the extra 5-10% for using pcie4 is worth it. Though the 4600 is abt 5-10% below the 5500 on cpu tasks, it won't bottleneck the rx6600.
