[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jonboy602]

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.

16:12 Hi, I am guessing he was going for RAID on some of those drives. If he was keen on doing it I would recommend to get a mobo that has 4 slots 1 for boot and 3 others for RAID. *Especially games nowadays need to load game shaders which needs to load from storage.

[@rlosangeleskings]

[@PROBLEMASAQUI]

Yeah, I've built my first PC last week (altho the build has been 2months in the making) and i also went with the Sapphire Pulse 7800XT. Absolutely love this card and at 1440p I can run everything max max and still get close to 200fps. This last week I couldn't wait to get off work to have fun with this bad boy. :D

[@Nocturnal2010]

@PROBLEMASAQUI exactly 💯. I forgot to mention I got the Red Devil one. They tried to warn me about fan whine but the ppl I've seen with that noise don't have big enough psu's. I always go over with my psu and not just PC's. I used to build competition sound systems and you if your math is wrong you will start a fire. The fans in the gpu barely run prob because I have 8 fans, 4 in 4 out I'm guessing

[@The_Lightless]

@@Nocturnal2010yes a large reason for coil whine is having incompetent PSUs. People just like to blame the card. I also purchased a 7800 XT but the main reason I didn’t picked the power color ones is because it only has 1 HDMI port and I really wanted multiple.

Hey jason , I should’ve had you look at my bill. I pretty much went all MSI. 7800 X 3-D X 670 E tomahawk. But I really screwed up and bought a MSI 4060 TI gaming X.

Excuse me Jason, if I don't mind used gpu, should I buy a used 3080 10gb. I'm expecting it to last 3-5 years (college) and I want to only build 1 PC if possible and not constantly upgrade. Radeon cards are inconsistent with price where I live (malaysia)

[@MrAnimescrazy]

Yes get it.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thats a good choice for used

[@denissorn]

Why would you want a 1200W PSU for that build? 850W is good enough and what many use without issues.

[@kelley09162]

For the PSU he says to put your build into PC Part Picker and times the watts by 1.5 to see what watt PSU you need. Also Nitro GPUs use more power than other models. If it wasn't a Nitro XTX a 1000W would be good.

[@denissorn]

@@kelley09162 I have seen quite a few people using 850 for 7900xtx, not Nitro, but they have more demanding CPUs. And I have also seen people using 750W PSU with same GPU or maybe it was XT, and 7800x3d (some of them experience crashes but I doubt they're related to PSU, my impression is it was related to issues with drivers on windows and Linux platforms).

I have a radeon rx6800 xt. And I have huge issues with it. If I turn on my pc and start gaming, after like 10-30 mins my gpu just shuts down, video freezes and I have to restart. I already tried older driver, didn’t do anything. Does some have a device?

Hey, I have a friend who wants to get into pc gaming. But has a budget of around 1100-1600 cad. I’m not sure if he’ll be wanting 1080p gaming or 1440p gaming. Do you have a recommendation for GPU-wise? I was looking at RX 6750 XT (Mech) for 519.99 cad on Amazon. Or RX 6700 XT (AsRock) for 449.99 on NewEgg (CA). Both are for 1440p gaming.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Those are great options! And if you are looking at those cards I wouldn't wait to long. They are likely to sell through and go up in price. If they want 1080p with an option for 1440p I'd go 6700XT asap

Hey Jason, just wanted to know if it's fine to use RGB components from different brands? I couldn't find a straight answer on the internet.

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

Yes. You will just need different software to control them. In short, a working mess.

[@daveycliff]

I've got rgb components from different suppliers, and I use SignalRGB to control them all, which works great

[@PCBuilderChannel]

The issue becomes controlling them. Components with the standard 3-pin 5-volt ARGB connector will generally be controllable by any software. However, some brands like Corsair use proprietary connectors and while you can buy an off-brand adapter, controlling them using a different app (for instance, not using Corsair's iCUE) mightr be challenging. You can run multiple RGB software apps, and sometimes that's what needs to be done.

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

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.

100% this - go with flare x5 its a nobrainer

[@definitelyahooman7030]

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...

[@definitelyahooman7030]

@@trcs3079 I have always been suspicious of umart, never bought from them

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.

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 :)

[@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.

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.

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 I wanna thank you for your videos, I used a lot of your tips for picking out parts for my pc. All I'm missing now are the PSU and a monitor. Currently looking at the XPG Core Reactor 850w (for a Ryzen 5 7600 and 7800XT) and an LG 34GP63A-B 1440p 34'' Ultrawide.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

[@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.

Does anyone have tips for high temps on Rx 6700xt sapphire pulse? Just recently built my first computer and I can’t figure out why the GPU temps are so high, cpu temps are well within expected parameters but it seems no matter what I do with fan speeds and such, my gpu temps go in the 80s(degrees Celsius) and that is at the edge so I imagine the hotspot isn’t good either. Based from what I can tell,the airflow is good(montech 903 max with 3 intake and 1 exhaust, mesh front and top panels) , and everything looks to be operating normally but it is my first PC build ever so if anyone has ideas on what I could’ve missed,I would appreciate it.

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.

Asus rx6700xt graphics card. 2 sticks ddr4 16gb 3200mhz for 32gb Total. 750w psu. At some point in the next 3 to 6 months id like to upgrade mobo, ram, and CPU. The tenth gen intel does great for what it is and is quite balanced performance with the 6700xt. I can use rebar thanks to some bios upgrades to intel 10th gen. Wondering if changing to a new cpu socket, ddr5 and pciex4 would give performance worthy of the upgrade? I play COD and do 3d modelling in sketchup primarily. Would even consider am5. I typically like to not be an early adopter of new tech, i usually wait till the Bugs are worked out and prices come down. I think the time is approaching that ddr5 and a new cpu socket is justified.

Hi man, I've recently discovered your YT channel and it's lit! I've a question tho. Ive build a PC myself, with an Intel Core i7-12700K CPU Boxed and a motherboard from ASUS ROG STRIX B760-A GAMING. My question towards you is, what GPU would have been the most suitable in the range from 300-450$/€ Ive seen in your videos you seem to enjoy the RXs but does this work with Intel as well? Would be nice if you let me know. Have a nice one!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

AMD and Nvidia GPUs will both work great. With 12700K the max I would pair is 7800XT or 4070. Sweet spot might be 6700XT. But those are selling through so I would jump on it asap

[@AndyViant]

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.
