For less than the 3050 another option getting better with each update is the arc a750 though that 6650 xt is still better. They keep improving and I hope they can keep going to add to the competition for amd and nvidia. Just need good upper and mid cards.

Hello Jason! I'm super excited to say that after months of planning, and many different PC Part picker lists later, I'm typing this comment from my brand new completed build!!! I seriously want to thank you so much for all these videos you've put out! They were absolutely quintessential on my journey. The passion you have for sharing your knowledge is incredibly wholesome, and you make such complex topics very easily digestible. I could not have done it without your help, so thank you! Even though my build may be complete, I'll be sure to continue watching, as I'm sure I can always continue to learn and grow. Thanks again :)

I really love the 3rd Boost my build in this video. Dude's build went from a 3060ti to a 4070ti!! At the SAME cost!!! All that took was to stop spending on the premium Cosair AIO, case and silly white PSU and he got his 4070ti. And I would argue that his build would look better with the white extension cables, the white Thermalright air ARGB cooler, and white Fractal Design POP air case.

I would say either 4070 Ti or 7900 XT. The XTX is expensive right now and while the 4080 is good the 4070 Ti would still be a good upgrade over the 3070.

[@Tornado.X]

@@kelley09162 I'm not a huge fan of the XT simply put, if I could find a reference XTX or Founders Edition 4080 for MSRP then I would heavily consider, but I am mainly leaning 4070 Ti currently. I really like the PNY Verto 4070 Ti, but I have a Hyte Y60 case and it would be a tight fit vertically mounted. Likewise, the XTX reference card or 4080 FE are slimmer and would fit better with the side panel on haha

Jason has said X670 isn't worth it and you chose expensive SSDs. Otherwise looks good.

[@Aaron_Lesse]

That last build really connected with me, since I built my first PC in Aug-Sept. of 2021 and used a white Corsair/ASUS theme as well. I lucked out by getting that white Corsair 5000D Airflow case, like new, for about $86. Then I proceeded to overspend on the air cooler and CPU, which left me with an overpriced 5-year old GPU until I could afford to upgrade to an open-box 3070Ti. But even so, it could still play some games at 4K, including the original Skyrim, Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition, and Witcher 3.

[@Aaron_Lesse]

I bought the same motherboard too, and $150 is a great deal for it! I paid about $20 to $30 more. Also, I haven't noticed any less performance by using the bottom slot for the GPU, which made room for a Gen 4 NVMe adapter card in the top slot for more m.2 storage.

[@djGLCKR]

Not gonna lie, I really appreciate these videos because I keep coming back to them while trying to plan my next (and long overdue) upgrade and try to fine-tune things here and there (actually subscribed because of the deep dive on the setups and how to improve them!). Considering I've been rocking an i3 4330 and a 550Ti since 2014, with the only significant upgrade so far being an MX500 SSD, I need new parts. Some are already set in stone, like going for a 6600/6650XT (unless something new gets released in that price range, just 1080p60, MAYBE 1440p in the far future), or being cannibalized from my current build (monitor, a couple of mechanical drives, SSD, CM Centurion 590 case with GOOD airflow and CM Silent Pro M 850W PSU). My only "issue" is what you referred to as "paralysis by analysis" in your Ryzen 7600X build video, and it's choosing which platform to use. I know AM5 is currently in its early days, and despite the slightly elevated costs on B650 boards and DDR5 RAM, my train of thought leads me to believe it'd be the wisest move with a non-X R5 7600 because of upgradeability in the future (as seen with AM4). That is, assuming there'll be a BIOS update for these current boards to offer support for the next generation or 2 of CPUs, and wait for them to drop in price and get one final upgrade that could last another 5-ish years. Worst-case scenario, go with a 7800X3D by the end of the motherboard's life cycle. On the other hand, I could go and grab a 13400F/13500, or even go budget with a 12400, slap some RAM (DDR4 for budget, DDR5 for 13th gen, MAYBE), a compatible B660/760 motherboard, and forget about upgrades other than more RAM and a new GPU for a decade or so. Considering gaming and some productivity (coding/compiling and occasional video/photo editing) will be the main focus of the build, and again, coming from an old build that will be repurposed for other stuff, what would be the best option: Buy and pray for later upgrades with AM5/B650, or buy and forget with 13th gen/B760? Thanks for the in-depth videos! AM5 build: pcpartpicker.com/list/3N8tDq 13400F DDR4 build: pcpartpicker.com/list/wfWs3y 13500 DDR5 build: pcpartpicker.com/list/h8g4Ls

This is what I would do. For production work you'd want an Intel CPU not AMD. Also you'd want a Non-F CPU.

Jason has said no reason to go DDR5 with Intel Storage: Solidigm P41 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($58.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: ASRock Challenger D OC Radeon RX 6650 XT 8 GB Video Card ($289.99 @ Newegg) Total: $829.33 If you want to save money you can go 12400 and RX 6600.

It's a i5-11400f on a B560 MB, 32gb of DDR4 3200 CL 22, RTX3050 (came with it) upgraded the cooler to a Ncotua NH-U9s and it has a OEM 512gb M.2 drive. It's great for 1080p gaming and with the case I have a ton of room to upgrade parts in the future

[@PCBuilderChannel]

[@FOWST]

Hard to build a PC on this budget. I don't think his CPU is a bad choice at all. Even if it's "too good" for the current GPU, it allows future upgrades and it will still run nicely in a couple years. I would have recommended a 3060 and an i7 12700k, or the i5 13600k. Alongside an MSI Z690 board and a big cooler like a Noctua, Brocken or Dark Rock 4. At the current time, I don't recommend buying any more DDR4 ram, especially not the slow 3200. You don't wanna save too much on the power supply either. Hard to build a good PC for little money nowadays.

You are by far KZbins Best, most entertaining, Best informative builder and know'r, i absolutely love your videos, and you made me confident in now trying to build my own rig. Thanks a lot!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That's what we love to hear, and it's why we do what we do! Thank you for your support and feedback.

In the 2nd build, the guy specifically states that he wants a NVIDIA vga and you chose to ignore him. In Newegg the difference between 6650XT and RX3060 is exactly $20 - there is open box cards for 309 and 319$ so that's what he should go for.

[@hellonoitisnt393]

Because nvidia is worse

[@zoak4813]

​@hellonoitisnt393 budget nvidia is worse but high end it can go either way

[@hellonoitisnt393]

@@zoak4813 yep Nvidia is really good at the top end. They should stop taking advantage of their consumers by pricing their lower GPUs too high compared to the AMD ones

[@jamegumb7298]

If he has to have cpu for some reason (compiling, photo or video work, whatever) I would take a light gpu with heavier cpu. Gaming system does not mean that is all he will run, he just may want to play a game here and there (like me). I would take at least extra 2TB for Steam or whatever in that case though (I got 4TB 4.0 ×4). That cpu cooler is off though. Case is whatever you want, 2U for me. Anything goes really, just watch the parts and thermals. (srsly, do not go out and do 2U or 1.5U, there are some real snags).

[@PatalJunior]

Got a deal on a SN850 1TB for 125$, a nice upgrade from a SN550 256GB, and SSD prices have been really cheap lately, I've got a 2TB HDD since I horde a lot of stuff, but 1TB is enough for 95% of people, and I would take fast storage over more but slower one any day of the week.

[@simongodfrey3765]

Your last builder said he wanted to do a lot of music production as well as gaming. For that I'd definitely bump up to 32GB ram, especially if he's using sampled instruments (Kontakt) and then you want to pay a lot of attention to getting a quiet system - I would've used a Be Quiet! case rather than Fractal. Also for music production you need to balance fast single core speed with extra multi-cores. I would've liked to see Ryzen 7 if at all possible although the 5600 should be adequate. Finally, my understanding is that for music production, the ram speed DOES matter. You've come up with an excellent gaming PC, but I feel the music production side has been neglected. Hope this is constructive.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks for sharing!

Even if the person who asked about the first PC doesn't/can't use it, be happy to know that it will at least help someone! That one is almost perfect for what I need!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome!

21:10 : AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is too weak for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti on 2560 × 1440 pixels screen resolution for Processor Intense Tasks. This configuration has 45.7% of processor bottleneck .

[@scottfuller3401]

Great video and it helps a lot as I am working on upgrading my gaming PC as well and considering a similar $1500 budget to the last system you reviewed.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad we could help!

[@jond7754]

Looking to build a 4k pc really the bottleneck I have is my tv is only 60hz. Not sure if I should build a monster 4k pc and upgrade to a high refresh monitor later. Or build high FPS 1440p pc and get a monitor to match now. Trying to keep around 1500ish but I got patience if I gotta save up for more. I’ve never built a PC so I have no idea what a reasonable expectation for the budget would be. Also the Wife would like to be able to do VR. Happy Wife, happy this build might actually be approved by her

[@Totes_ma_Goat]

I haven't looked at builds in years. But when I upgraded my GPU from the gtx 1070 to the RTX 3060ti, I started looking again. But I think my i7 8700 should be okay for a couple more years. Of course, Intel has changed the cpu chips, so I pretty much have to build another computer when I decide to upgrade the CPU.

[@nicolasparks510]

Hey Jason! Thanks for everything! All the advice and tips! Because if you I was able to build a pc! I haven't checked to see if it can post yet, but thank you for everything. Thanks for all the advice for the best components for the price and such!

[@rohenplays]

What I would change in the last build is substitute the 4070 ti ($839) for a 6950 xt ($699)and you can squeeze in a r7 5700x and it would remain around $80 less than with the 5600 and 4070 ti combo and give more performance because of that cpu upgrade, other than that, super informative video I love it

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks for sharing!

[@donglee6599]

Rather paired 5800 with a 6950xt instead

[@brads2041]

I've personally used that downfire cooler master cooler. It will NOT handle a 13600. I had to replace it on my 11400f running at about 90 Watts. It's pretty crappy

Hey Jason, Im curious is this motherboard 3:23 would be enough for i3-12100f and maybe upgrading later to i5-12400f? Or gigabyte ds3h one would be better?

[@zInslanex]

For sure he Gigayte ds3h would NOT run the i5-12400F at the full frequency,however it is perfectly fine for the i3-12100F. not sure about the AsRock one.

[@BananaGusFringFan]

@@zInslanex Do you know any budget motherboard that would be better than these two?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So the tricky thing here is only certain motherboards work as they are supposed to with the 12400. So if you plan to upgrade to there in the future I would buy for that now. See our 12400 build guide for the list

[@kelley09162]

I would say if you can afford the MSI PRO B660-A go with that as it's currently the cheapest one Jason recommended in his 12400 video.

[@BananaGusFringFan]

@@PCBuilderChannel I thought previously about buying Asus b660m-k prime but I want to cut off costs a little bit cuz I will have to buy monitor too (gigabyte g24f)

[@brads2041]

Really liked how you worked out that $700 build

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you! Hopefully its helpful to builders with that budget

[@PeterMurrayj]

2:30 Yea makes sense, save $ on CPU and upgrade GPU for best gaming FPS

[@tutufnm4895]

Very useful content, fun, and informing, I wanted to know if my rx 6600 is a good combo with my Ryzen 5 5500 or would it be better with the rx 5600xt. Thanks!

[@kelley09162]

The 6600 would be good with your CPU

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Good combo, but if you are buying new and can stretch to 5600 its a better CPU for not too much more

[@kakudiego]

I end up getting: AMD 7700X + 32GB 6000 CL36 (free) + New Jedi Game (free) = $314 Gigabyte B650M AORUS Elite AX = $160 Thermal Grizzly Aeronaut = $8 total = $518 using now with 5700XT, (I hope soon) I'll receive a new 6900XT (free)

Love the video redo on the first build good choice on the cpu I have one of these they chug along well for gaming. I don’t know about that A60 SSD it has no DRAM cache. I’d go a Samsung 970 Evo Plus as the main drive. They’ve dropped in price lately in Australia $99 AUD a good buy

[@sndrc9]

13700K paired with 4080. Perfect gaming and rendering PC. I went with 4070Ti cuz 4080 don't fit in my case

[@NoLuv4Hoz]

Omg watching these bad builds get corrected is so therapeutic! It's as satisfying as watching a hoarder's house get cleaned up or a someone poor go from rags to riches. 👍

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you enjoy! It feels therapeutic for me to make them (;

[@DelScully]

for the guy wanting 1440p and 4k gaming but also music production why would you cheap out on the cpu and get the most expensive gpu you could get? If he wants to do music production, he should be throwing in around 50/50 on the gpu and cpu as well as 32 gb of ram. A 4070 ti is over priced like crazy.

[@BeefCurtain91]

Would the 6950 xt not be a better fit for the white monster in the correct price range?

[@BeefCurtain91]

Seeing it at 699 in a few places.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Also a good option!

[@raymondrogers3929]

With builds it is worth considering that many games dont need a balanced system. One of my favs is cities skyline. Horribly optimized, as many games are. Single core performance is the key. 3d cashe barely does anything. It would be most optimim to get a killer cpu and ram, sacraficing part of the budget of the GPU. All other tasks dont need state if the art equipment.

[@Draconas]

21:52 I'm sorry but a ryzen 5600 with a 4070ti? Isn't the 5600 going to bottleneck the shit out of the 4070ti?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

It's not my first choice for sure! I would prefer the 5700X at minimum. But in this case it will get them what they are looking for in performance and gives them a nice upgrade path. Sometimes you got to bend the rules a bit to fits someones build needs (;

Nice video Jason. You really boosting the 4K 1500 for that guy. A 3060ti is potato compare to 4070ti. Massive performance difference in 4K. Heck 3060ti is not even for 4K gaming 😂
