Mostly WoW 7800XT DX11 workaround, 12700KF doesn't raid as well. Played some movie scenes Avatar on the 7900XTX 12900KF, character creation screen looked cool but idk. Have a BG3 hankering. Have a 12400F 3060 12gb getting mated soon, I had to order another cooler misplaced my LGA1700 bracket. I finished my WoW fomo but they announced fated raids next season so I likely have to push raid achieve mounts before we get inconvenienced with that oh the raid (unfated) we need is only up 2 of 3 weeks possibly (unless a toggle on or off actually is implemented). Am having some issues with the older machines in my fleet, some nvmes work fine but others aren't so am stuck in a game of musical storage. My mother might not be shutting down the machines properly in the evening, maybe that is rearing it's ugly head.

Awesome! Thank you for using my $450 build as an example. I thought it was pretty good, but clearly, I have much to learn from the great PC Builder!

Also, can this mobo not be upgraded to 14th gen?

You would need to update the bios first. You have to start with 12th gen. The warning is more for people who are starting fresh. if you are starting with the 12100 you are ok. If the 13100 is cheaper when you go buy it then you may have issues.

You should consider adding the White Phanteks Eclipse P400A to your mid-tower case recommendations. It's currently selling for 69.99 USD on Newegg (after a 20 USD rebate). It comes with a tampered glass side window, 3x 120mm RGB front case fans and it has really good air flow. It fits my XFX Merc 310 7900 XTX which is 13.5 inches long without any issues.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks for the tip!

[@innocentbystander3317]

That sounds much cheaper than my Kediers C-570 case, except I got mine 75% off 3 years ago. Still, I'm happy with my case.

That's a great price for that... when it was over 80 there were too many better options but 70 is about where it needs to be.

Tampered glass from newegg, checks out.... That is a good deal, especially compared to the 4000x Corsair, that skimps on the rear fan. $30 for a Corsair 120mm to match; at Best Buy.

To be fair. The NZXT H5 Flow is an awesome case! I ditched my chunky P500A for it and I can still fit a 320mm GPU in it with a front mounted AIO. It stays really cool as well. The 2 fans supplied should be enough to keep the system cool as well until 2 more in front can be afforded.

[@venomsspider1]

Hi so I just want to start off by saying love the channel and quickly becoming a pc enthusiast. I built the $1000 pc in this video... well kinda. Had to change a few things mainly the gpu because the one recommended wasn't in stock so I subbed it out with the phantom Gaming rx6800 xt. Overall this was a great build. I use it for gaming and primarily playing warzone. So one issue I ended up noticing is I think the ryzen 5 5600 is a bit of a bottleneck for the system, at least with warzone. I was regularly hitting 80%+ cpu usage in game with nothing else running in the background. So I just ended up switching to a ryzen 7 5800x tonight and definitely a big difference, I'm now down to about 60-70% cpu usage while gaming. Again overall love the build and love the channel, keep up the great work!

I can't recommend the CH560 enough. Seriously. I just built my rig in the digital version and it was worth every penny. Tons of airflow, VERY quiet fans (that look decent to boot), great build quality, and good cable management. My single gripe with it is the PSU intake filter. While present, it's just a cheap screen that inserts into place with tabs, so you basically have to lay the PC down to remove it. It's genuinely a great value though!

Feelings on the A380 6gb for 94 usd for ultra budget? I personally would roll the dice on a used 1070 or a refurbed 580 but the low profile variant doesn't need a power adapter so less psu needed.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

If you have rebar support 8th gen/newer or recent cpus they seem okay for low power/SFF builds. You probably won't be playing day 1 games without driver issues and Starfield FPS might still be an issue from what I've heard (&/ if you change settings it becomes one). I wasn't much into Starfield personally so if that doesn't matter they seem new and decent for that price range. Could also look AMD budget maybe a 5600 or something cheap. 94 is decent though, I like the not needing a power adapter, you can just slot it in. Haven't used myself but that seems appealing just have the newer cpu limitations with rebar for performance.

[@SpoonHurler]

@@dianaalyssa8726 oh, I forgot that it needs rebar... that definitely could be a deal breaker for some ultra budget builds. I'm going to sound like a jerk but if you are building a 400-500 usd build then playing games day one shouldn't be a deal breaker. I haven't bought an arc card yet either... might get one when my nas is up and running just to test out.

[@hiriotapa1983]

Nice video! Very informative and you, Jason, always sound so enthusiastic... what SSD would you recommend instead of the Team Group MP34 2 tb? Here in Thailand it's not for sale, so I went with a MP44L 2 tb for about 2800 baht=80 usd, actually our 3rd SSD after WD SN770 and Silicon Power UD85. Over a year ago me and my son bought a i7 11700KF with a huge discount, for +- 192usd, instead of a gen12 i5 12400, about the same price back then.... very content with it, even though it's a dead platform.. hopefully it lasts a few years and combined with a used Sapphire Nitro+ 6800XT for 355usd and 32gb 3600CL17 (tuned to 16), it's pretty powerful.. do you have experience with using a 42-43" 4K TV as a monitor? They're very cheap compared to large monitors, although my son prefers a 2K 34" ultrawide as a future replacement for his 24" FHD screen. Is the 6800XT+11700K powerful enough to drive an ultrawide 2K screen at high fps?

Hey there, Jason! I'm reaching out to get your opinion on building a budget-friendly PC that I'm currently working on.

Additionally, it would be great if you could also share your preferred brands for these components. Thanks!

Depends on what your budget is, but the cheapest GPU I think that could handle entry level 4K is the 7800XT. As for the CPU the 7600 or 7800X3D are good options. For the Motherboard any B650 with good reviews should be fine. The new Gigabyte Eagle (which is the cheapest ATX B650) looks good but doesn't have any reviews yet.

When my old am3+ mobo finally died, Im glad i came across your videos. I picked up one of the radion pulse rx 6800 for $410 and managed to get a 5600x3d/tuf gaming mobo/g.skill 16gb kit at micro center for $270 and a be quiet 500fx case with 4 rgb fans for $100. Another $70 for a psu and i got a killer setup for around $900. I did reuse my SSDs and monitor. Next year ill upgrade to a m.2 and 1440p monitor next year. I spent enoughfor now. 1080p ultra on everything for now. 😅

Thanks for this video, although here in Europe we're persecuted by extra prices due to VAT taxes around a +20% compared to US prices :)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yep! These prices don't include tax because different states have different tax amounts (including a couple lucky states with so sales tax at all) but most states will see totals somewhat closer to what you are seeing with tax

another great video, I built my second 1080 build this year (on your recommendations) for my son for Xmas, it matched your build here almost exactly went with ryzen 5600, a B550M board, and picked up a rx 6800 at new egg. I also used the Bitfenix (black) case. I did some testing on it with games I play and it was really putting out amazing fps. Thanks again

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's amazing, congrats on the new build! You're very welcome, thank you for watching and enjoying the channel :D

[@VndNvwYvvSvv]

Very nice. I did about the same. Gives me headroom to up the GPU, going to a 5800x for free after I sell my 5600X, and I can probably move to AM5 in 6-12mo for next to nothing when prices drop by selling the board/CPU/RAM combo because I got mine used, like new condition.

[@DazednConfused0]

Nice, I plan on moving to AM5 also, it looks like all the components are moving in the right direction, I plan to go "lite" on the RAM though because I agree with Jason that there is likely to be RAM improvements for DDR5 in the not to distant future.@@VndNvwYvvSvv

Looking for a budget Sim Racing PC to start with (but with possibility to upgrade in the future). Not playing any other games really, only interested in trying out iRacing. The game doesn't have high requirements, BUT it will be played on ultrawide monitor and in the future I might use triple 27" screens (also it uses a lot of computing power for in-game physics etc). Budget? As low as possible, just to try it out if it's even for me

[@RickBeacham]

Don't buy a PC. Use a PS4 or Xbox Game Console then decide. Assetto Corsa and ACC already have highly optimized version on Playstation and XBOX. AC physics are much better that Gran TUrismo so it should provide a good test case. If you like sim racing then buy a AMD x3d based processor are typically better for Simulation racing games with single monitors.

[@RickBeacham]

@PCandSimRacing This channel focuses on cheap PC builds for Sim Racing. It will cost you about 400 to 500 to get a descent PC for sim racing. You might be able to find used parts... But like I said nothing out there will beat a PS4 or XBOX since the games are highly optmized to the CPU and GPU on those devices. AT 200 dollars or less you can't beat it. You won't have to worry about setting up the simulator either its already prepackaged for you on Assetto Corsa PS4 versions. Also make sure you get a descent Wheel like a Logitec or if you can DD direct drive wheel base. Otherwise it will not be very fun...

I think its the first time that I 100% agree with your build swap. Good finds, Great value for the perf/dollar on that build. 100% agree on the SSD swap, the WD Black has been decent for me, I also have a corsair p600 but the star of my show is the cheaper and surprisingly much faster old A-data XPG s11 pro. This ssd has been rock solid and bl;ows away the other two in actual read write speeds. holding a higher transfer rate much longer during high GB loads.

78003dx or 7900x are they close in gaming? I game, but I also do a little video edit. they have a good price bundle with both CPU, but the 7900x close with a much better mother and memory for $100 more.

[@michaelvandermaas5871]

Few issues - but a big one - that i3 will bottleneck that GPU by an enormous amount.... This wont allow that GPU to work at its full potential at all. Maybe at 1440p you might catch a break but thats not really a 1440p card

[@nostrum6410]

for the first build get the 12600k, throw a 240 or 280 aio on it, use the 2 included fans as intake and your good. unfortunately i really doubt you will find a 6800 for 400, better chance of getting a 7700xt for 400

[@phantomboy51]

If i use deepcool ch560 case and put 360 mm aio on the top side of the case then it will make a negative airflow so should i remove the back 120mm fan for a efficient airflow or it's not a problem to have 3 140mm front fan 3 120mm top and 1 120mm back fan configuration?

What CPU should I pair with a 3070 for a heavily modded Skyrim?

[@SamyAbdelhay]

I actually just picked up the Deepcool CH560 (non-digital) and it's an AMAZING case for the money. Jason, I haven't even repasted my CPU yet and it literally dropped my cpu temps about 15-18c and keeps my 3080 well under 70c. I went for it because I used your general template for an AM5 7600 build for my cousin last week using the Antek NX410 case, and I was like "how the heck is he just running stock case fans and getting these wildly low temps!?" Figured my old case just had horrible airflow (it did, an ancient Deepcool MATREXX 50) but now things are running so great, im happy to eventually do my overhaul in this case! Awesome stuff as always!

So glad you had a great upgrade! We LOVE that case in our Ryzen 7950X + RTX 4090 production build my wife uses. The airflow is so good!

I recently built a new rig. Ryzen 7 7700, 7900 XT 20GB, 32GB 6000mHz CL30, MSI Mag tomahawk, with a Noctua U12A, in the corsair 4000x. Love the thing. Rips up 1440 and maxes out my 165 hz monitor on most games. Decent frames at decent graphics settings in demanding things like Ark survival ascended (the reason for the upgrade). To save a little money, and because I don't plan on doing 4k gaming, just wanted to future proof my system for my 1440 monitor for the next few years, I didn't go top of the line GPU. Therefore I decided to go with the 7700 non x version CPU because of it's ability to overclock so similar to it's x version but topping out about 30 watts less and 15--20*C cooler with a steady overclock I knew it would be a beast for what I'll use it for.

[@Algorythmfpv]

For my budget I could have gotten a better system for sure. But I like aesthetics too. On the system itself, purely power. I probably spent about 1900, after taxes just over 2k, but in total with cords and cables, adapters, RGB, fan cable splitters, vertical GPU mount, fans, an overkill CPU cooler and sending it to my guy to have him overclock everything and stress test the unit it was closer to 25. and I'm not mad about it

I put so much info because im really new to this and wasnt sure what info is needed for the question i have.,,, which gpu upgrade and will i need a new psu and is my mb good enough. Im enjoying the 4060 for now but pretty sure soom i will not be. Its very quiet and cool temps,, when i run old games on 4k i do hear the fans but its still so cool temps.

[@kelley09162]

So for Gaming the 7800XT is better than the 4070 unless you really care about Ray Tracing. As for the PSU you'll need to put your build into PC Part Picker and times the watts by 1.5 to see what watt PSU you need. I assume you'll need a new one if you go 7800XT.

Hey Jason, I Know you just did this as a finale boost my build.. but I just found your channel a few days ago.. I loved your content! So useful, informative and entertaining! I'm working on building up my very first gaming pc and I'd love your intel on my setup. The plan is to build something great that will last me for AT LEAST 5 years running AAA games (not necessarily on ultra, but as best as possible for a long time until I have to update it again. Bare in mind: a lot of components here were chosen to stay - for possible upgrades in the future - and others I've made my peace with the fact I'm gonna have to change them later on - like the gpu). I dont stream, and I've got a basic monitor along for the ride, it's just for my own entertaining. Here's the catch: some stuff is already bought, because I got great deals on them. This what I already own: - PC case - GPU - Power supply (not this actual one. I Couldnt find the one I bought in the website - I think its a brazilian brand or something.. all I can say is that it's a 1000w, 80+ gold, full modular, PCie 5.0 compatible + PFC) Everything else Im taking your recommendation on (although Im quite found of the idea of keeping the Ryzen 9 7950x; and I'd rather not go the Water Cooler route). No actual budget restriction. But I think 2,000USD is a good cap. Oh and.. the LESS RGB,THE BETTER. pcpartpicker.com/user/th3s0n1c/saved/#view=LJZ8Hx
