[@valekraine]

Im currently upgrading from almost a decade old setup (17-6700K,,Z170, 1070) and I'm going about my upgrade a little against the norm. I just had twin girls born in Nov so with that in mind and not trying to spend oodles I've been using prime days, sales and black friday to try and score components I've been keeping an eye on. What I have purchased so far- Case-Deepcool CH560 WH CPU-i5-13600KF Cooler-Deepcool LS720 SE WH SSD-Samsubg 990 Pro 2TB Ideas for parts- Gpu-3060TI or 4060TI RAM-Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 WH Mobo-Gigabyte z790 Aorus Elite ICE PSU-Corsair RM850 Gold You see my theme and I mainly game but do stream and need a computer that can handle Large work files as well for my company. I'm not pumping the money into the GPU/CPU at the moment but instead "future proofing" (not really) the base of everything if/when the time comes to upgrade this when I have time and money to do soI don't need to replace it all. I would rather be productive now and competetive later when I get the chance to game more often again.

hey Jason I'm tryin to build a all white pc setup I have a NXT h5 flow white pc case I want to be able to run fortnite at 360hz or 240hz and call of duty at 120hz or 240hz if you can give me some different budget options my budget is 2000$ US I don't know anything about computers if it has to go up to closer to 3000$ that's ok I'm just seeing what I can offaurd at 2000$ in all white also its ok if the motherboard is black

I have just built a PC almost identical to the first build here. I used MSY, PLE, PC Case Gear, Scorptec for the parts. They are all good stores in my experience. Very similar stock and prices. Historically Australian retailers are very uncompetitive pricewise in comparison to US and UK online retailers but PC parts stores have always been an honourable exception.

22:05 Honestly I’m not sure that RAM is the best choice, given that I experienced issues while using an Intel XMP kit with my 7800X3D. I would strongly recommend getting an AMD Expo kit listed on the motherboards Qualified Vendor List. This way you can be absolutely sure that the RAM will work as intended and your system won’t have issues posting.

[@jasonhenninger8220]

For the "no budget" build, I would suggest a few changes. The Case, Montech 903 Air Max white. It's generally considered a great case to build in. If the AIO has a display the case doesn't need it. With the 7800x3D would recommend the 280mm version AIO. Currently it's ~$60 cheaper and with the lager fans potentially quieter. Would probably splurge on 3 4td SN850X drives for the better R/W iops. - also been eyeing the Mushkin Redline 6400 C30 64Gb kit for $215.

As far as the Australian market goes, I would liken pc case gear to microcentre (it’s THAT good) and I have bought 90% of my pc parts from there due to the very competitive prices. They do charge a good bit for shipping. Scorptec is pretty good (so I have heard) and jbhifi is usually pretty good for non-internal pc parts (monitors, cables, headphones ect)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you for sharing! Appreciate it

[@DavidUnderhill]

i use mainly uMart online, pc case gear are also good

[@trcs3079]

Pc case gear, scorptec and mwave are pretty good online stores with competitive pricing. Umart unfortunately isn't the most reliable from my experience, especially when you purchase hardware, make sure you read through the specifications carefully, as you may end up getting something of a different spec. Although they were prompted with store credit or refund when pointed out

[@UncannySense]

PC Case is ok but their prices are not cheaper then the majority of Australian online retailers( I would hardly compare them to microcentre). I prefer Umart (never had an issue and always got what I paid for) Mostly due to the fact they have a local distribution center where I can pick up and drop of parts locally direct. The biggest issue with buying parts like this from multiple retailers is the compound shipping fees...But no 1 retailer offers every brand and manufacturer. Yes we do have Amazon and Newegg, but I am not sure if Australian consumer laws cover their products...

[@hmslc8289]

As an experienced PC builder in Sydney Australia (been building for approx 10 years, have built 50+ gaming PCs for myself, friends and family) I would say most of the big PC retailers are all ok and I haven't really had any issues with any of them. I have used Centre Com, JW, MSY, Mwave, PCCaseGear, PLE, Scorptec and Umart and all of them are pretty similar in terms of stock range and pricing. Living in Sydney there is no PCCaseGear physical location near me so I usually go to one of the others as I won't have to pay for shipping, but that's not their fault

I thought about holding off buying a 4090 until holiday sales, so glad I decided to buy it during tax return season instead, prices were around its lowest, over $500 cheaper and available compared to now. Then came the am5 x670e, 7800x3d and vengance ddr5 6000 cl30 kit. Was nice to finally not have to settle for a budget build.

[@MrAnimescrazy]

A very high end build. Why did you go high end instead of a budget build?

[@o0Silverwolf0o]

@MrAnimescrazy I usually do budget builds so I already had a budget build pc that was near its upgrade limit, but I am a nut for great visuals, 4k max settings, raytracing, no upscaling, and some video editing, so needed better hardware to get decent fps. Already having a decent pc allowed me to save up over time to get the parts I really wanted this time, and I had someone ready to buy my budget parts, so I recouped some of the cost as well.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad you got what you needed!

[@nicholaslennon]

I would go 5800x3d and a 6800xt or 6700xt for that price. Better balance of performance. You'll be running a better b550m board and cheaper DDR4 with room to buy a Samsung 980 or even 990pro drive. Go Peerless Spirit for aircooler

[@Greenalex89]

Nah, for a new build I wouldnt recomment AM4. The 7600 has a similar performance for less money and DDR5 RAM isnt expensive anymore. I love my 5800x3D and I hope the huge L3 cache will keep boosting it in the future, but for new builds there is no downside anymore by going for AM5. Its funny that the 6800XT sometimes is even stronger than the 7800XT since its "technically" stronger in terms of hardware alone. Defo a viable alternative.

[@fortking777]

Toughpower GF3 1200W Gold has only 4 CPU/PCI-E outputs. But 7900 XTX needs 3 inputs and CPU needs 2 inputs on motherboard. So, its better to choose a PSU with 5+ PCI outputs. I has the same problem and returned the PSU with 4 PCI-E outputs.

[@joby602]

It didn't come with any PCI-E cables with two plugs? 2 cables to the PSU will be absolutely fine on a decent PSU.

Thoughts about the 7800x3d paired with an rx 7900xtx? Also is the Corsair h150i elite capellix a good cooler for the 7800x3d?

[@luvingyouu]

Best (in most games) gaming cpu paired with best amd gpu, ofc it’s a great pairing ; D I recommend getting the sapphire nitro+ model, if that’s just far too expensive compared to other models where you are get the xfx merc model Mainly just avoid all the gigabyte models, the msi gaming model, and the asrock phantom gaming model (taichi is fine to get) Yes that cooler is far more than enough, you can run the 7800x3d for gaming with just an amd wraith prism cooler and it won’t throttle (it’ll be loud tho lmao) The 7800x3d is probably the easiest cpu to cool in the whole 7000 series lineup outside of the 7500f, so any upgrade from a wraith prism is far more than enough for gaming If you need help with anything else reply back

[@ItzSamyam]

@@luvingyouu thanks a bunch m8, and yes, the sapphire nitro+ does have some cool rgb

[@luvingyouu]

@@ItzSamyam oh I wasn’t even talking about the nitro+ for the rgb, the cooler design is amazing and pcb layout and components are very high quality then there’s the fact it also looks great! Just don’t forget to get a support brace for it, the included one only screws into the case and I don’t like those as much for overall support, but a gpu support brace is like 10 bucks or less and is needed on any 3 fan card or 2.5+ slot card

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Great combo! See our 7800X3D build guide for more

[@RickBeacham]

The X3d 5800 and 7800 also run AC and ACC better than the normal 5000 and 7000 series likely since these games are essentially simulations so the L3 cache algorithms will pickup on redundant data... However 7600 will be a great processor and a good platform to build on for future upgrades.

As far as our Aussie mate goes, I built a 7600 non X, higher spec MSI Motherboard, and CL38 6000 Speed Ram, with an similar PCIe 4.0 NVME. Was Au$150 less than using Amazon by using one of our bigger brick and mortar PC retailers. For those 4 items I paid under $740 (got the ram and the nvme at a great price) and those are costing you over $900. That's easily enough to take that 7700XT into 7800XT territory. You'll get 7600X performance with PBO activated, and now you have the 7500F as a cheaper option for basically the same performance... if you can find one. Reality is that Amazon and NewEgg are usually really poor value in Australia. But otherwise the choices are pretty solid.

I honestly don't know why anyone would need a daily use gaming/streaming PC where a 1000W PSU isn't enough. It just doesn't compute. To me, that's like taking the helicopter to go to work when you live 2 blocks away from your workplace. But then again, that's just me, who's not quite poor, but not someone who can afford to throw stacks of money at problems. I guess if you have money to toss away... a PC that eats enough power to require a 1200W PSU for daily usage is... understandable? Just the electricity bill at the end of the month would make me wince and ask myself if I'm mining crypto. I got myself a 13600k + 4070 to undervolt both of them, gaming at 1440p with ultra settings on everything like cyberpunk and this stuff runs without a single performance issue, while keeping wattage and temps low. My PSU has yet to register a power draw above 500W during GPU+CPU spikes, and I do have an RM1000e PSU that I got for 50% off, too. And now that I've re-read my whole comment, these are definitely the words of a poor person who's concerned about his electricity bill because that crap is goddamn expensive here - like, premium lvl expensive. I'll leave you guys to your 1200W build 😅

[@Audiosan79]

That 1200W build would be just fine with a 850W PSU. Recomended PSU for rx7900xtx is 800-1000W. And that is with intel and overclocking in mind. To say a 1200W PSU is NEEDED here is bullcrap. the 7800x3d only pulls about 80W in cinebench R23. A 7900xtx about 350W. Motherboard and 1 tonn of SSD's do not pull 600W ish :)

I like the cooling solution in the first build. The water cooler is most likely a design choice and thats totally understandable, but since its a limited budget and the 7600 only needs 65W to cool, I would bite the design bullet and go for a waaaay cheaper air cooler and upgrade the GPU instead (as shown). But its still nice that Jason left the option open. It can be really nice to have an awesome looking pc, but to be realistic, at some point its not super duper mega exciting anymore after u look at it every day :) So with a limited budget I would totally prefer performance over looks 😏 (ooor save for a little bit longer and step up on the CPU too, so the AIO is "justified", maybe the 7700X or something).

Hey jason! i have a really good question. i recently found a really good deal on a 4070ti in my country (Greece) where i can pay a montly payment with a 0% interest over 12 months. the problem is tho, i have a 3060ti with a 5600x and i have no idea if the 5600x is going to bottleneck the new 4070ti. keep in mind i only play warzone 3.0 and BTD6. warzone is a very GPU heavy game but still i dont know if its a good idea to upgrade (only my GPU) because of how much the 5600x will bottleneck the 4070ti. what are your thoughts? will my 5600x bottleneck the 4070ti? (i really dont want to upgrade the whole platform right now so i would like your views on this!)

[@Shordies1]

oh also, i play on 1440p with dlss on

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hello! To eliminate the bottleneck but staying on AM4 I'd drop in a 5800X3D if you can. That will free you up to upgrade all the way to a 4090 (if you wanted to and could find one lol). But it certainly will do great with 4070ti.

[@Shordies1]

@@PCBuilderChannel thanks! so it seems the bottleneck will be there, but unfortunately i would need a new psu unit for the 5800X3D + 4070ti as i currently have a 650W corsair unit and i dont think that would be enough. in all seriousness i dont think i will upgrade just yet because i would have to upgrade the cpu and the psu which at the moment seems a bit too much for me but thank you jason! maybe next year when the 50series graphics cards arrive!

Hey Jason, I love these series its amazing what you can do with these parts list!! I have a question about which GPU I should get for my build I've got 5600x and 1080tii but I want to upgrade the GPU to either the 7800xt or the 4070ti. I mainly play COD warzone and Rust and I've been trying to figure out if the price jump is worth getting the 4070ti (roughly $300AUD difference here in Australia) as there isn't many benchmarks comparing these 2 GPU's. Any help would be amazing!!

[@kelley09162]

For Gaming the 7800XT is good. Plus I think you'd have an imbalance if you went with the 4070 Ti.

[@Greenalex89]

I would religiously avoid the 4070TI. It has such horrible value for the price and only 12GB VRAM. COD has always been better on AMD GPUs and if u wanna play AAA titles in the future Id go for 16GB VRAM with the 7800XT ooooor if u (for some reason) totally insist on nvidia, I would wait for the 4070TI super (probably 16GB, launch at january 2024?) and get that card if the price is not too high.

[@KiwiZD]

Very interesting episode Jason, thanks. I am from New Zealand where computer prices are even more expensive than Aussie parts, and we really only have one large nationwide computer store chain. I only play one game, Ark Survival Ascended, and my 3060Ti 8GB GPU is failing miserably. The game is in early access, and I am lamenting/hand wringing over which GPU to purchase to run this game at med/high settings. It seems that even the 4090 struggles with epic settings, though optimisation is being almost tweaked daily. The game supports frame generation and is recommended, so I assume that AMD cards are out of the equation. I am leaning toward the 4070Ti which are around $1500NZ ($930US) for a cheaper GPU (a lot of money to spend on one game - but I am a hardcore enthusiast). Not sure if you know anything about this demanding new UE5 game release as I see conflicting information on how best to pair up a GPU. Really appreciate if you or your audience have any advice. Many thanks in advance for any advice or pearls of wisdom :)

[@OmniscientFence07]

I don’t have firsthand experience with this game so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I’ve read AMD cards seem to do fine. Radeon has frame generation tech so that shouldn’t be a concern, although ray tracing might be an issue if that is something you want. A 4070Ti would definitely boost your performance, but if you can find a 7900xt for around the same price it’ll probably get you slightly better performance. Hope this helps!

[@KiwiZD]

@@OmniscientFence07 thanks for your reply. I keep hearing about 'baked in' code with respect to different games, with certain graphical settings being controlled by the games overriding GeForce settings etc. I believe that Ark has being primarily designed to utilise NVidia, and favours this game hardware, but then I have nothing to compare against, but for $1500NZ (which is a lot of money for me) I just don't want to miss out on what the game has to offer. Genuinely nervous to make a decision that I might regret. The game has both Nanite and Lumen tech, so not sure if both are fully supported, or if there is something else around the corner to wait for.

[@OmniscientFence07]

@@KiwiZD I understand getting nervous about it, it’s a lot of money for sure. I know Lumen favors Nvidia and I think you’d probably be happy with the performance of the 4070ti, but it could also be worth waiting a few months for the Super cards to drop if you really want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck.

[@KiwiZD]

@@OmniscientFence07 I had already considered that, hoping that maybe the prices for 4070Ti might come down a bit, or that I might be able to settle for the plain 4070 as this would save me nearly $500 - have a 650W PSU, so would have to upgrade this too if I go 4070Ti. If the 4070 will suffice then I think this is a good option.... but I just don't know if it is enough. I think I just have to be patient, and hope someone trustworthy can do a deep dive into this beautiful (frustrating) silicon hog of a game! Thanks so much for your comments :)

Hi. Great video. I'm also thinking about upgrading my PC. Probably I'll get a RX 6700 XT although NVIDIA DLSS sounds nice. I can get used RX 6700 XT with warranty but I can't decide which one is better. Which one would you guys choose RX 6700 XT Sapphire Nitro+ for around 280 USD or XFX Speedster MERC 319 RX 6700 XT for around 270 USD. Also I would be upgrading my Ryzen 5 2600 to Ryzen 5 5600 without the change of my B450 Aorus Elite. What RAM should I choose? For now I use 16GB Cl 15 3000 Mhz but it seems like my motherboard limits RAM to 2933 mhz.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks! Your RAM is fine at 3000 CL15, roughly equivalent to 3200 CL16. It's likely the Ryzen 2600 that is your limitation, not the motherboard. Could go 2x8gb DDR4 3600 CL16 with the 5600, just make sure to update the bios before you remove your CPU. IMO, for only a little bit more, I'd grab a brand new sapphire pulse RTX 6700 XT 12GB for $319, but the nitro is the better of those cards.
