Haven't built a PC in about 15 years. Kids and life got in the way. Decided to jump in at the Mid level and this helped me decide on the Ryzen 5 5600X and the Radeon 6700XT with 32gb DDR4 ram. Lets just hope I still know how to build one. I'll keep using these videos for reference.

[@ploob.2207]

I personally would recommend going for DDR5 as it is the faster and more future-safe, but it does cost a little extra.

[@thegamingmanatee6803]

I literally have the same setup as you. It was well worth the upgrade from a R5 2600 and RX 580 8GB

[@TurboLoveTrain]

@@ploob.2207 bro, DDR is almost a 30 year old tech and DDR5 isn't worth the significant cost increase for the slight increase in performance over DDR4. Also, you just cant "upgrade" from DDR4 to DDR5--you have to rebuild your whole system. The pinouts aren't even the same between DDR4 and DDR5. Basically double your build price (at least double) to use DDR5 over DDR4 and your speed improvement is going to be maybe 10%.

[@keldrini7939]

@@TurboLoveTrain yes but if you were to make your first pc it's better to start of with DDR5, that way you don't have to upgrade later on.

I wanted the 7900xt but the prices for some reason don't tend to scale just according to the currency conversion here in Canada. The 7900xt is around $1100 Canadian or more depending which version, that's more than I was willing to spend on it so I went 7800xt. I'm doing 1440p anyway so I think it'll be fine for a while.

[@stu1002]

You want your GPU to be the bottleneck. Here's why: If you plan on keeping the system a good few years, ultimately, you're going to upgrade the system at some point. It is *far* easier to upgrade your GPU than your CPU - which could well require an entirely new motherboard. I.e. Basically a new system. Get the CPU/motherboard which gives you the most headroom for future upgrades, and go for a solid midrange graphics card with good performance/value ratio. In 3 or 5 years you can replace your mid range card with another high-mid card, and I bet your high end CPU will still keep up with it. Also, if your CPU/motherboard is strong, you always have the options of adding more RAM etc etc... If you go the other way and max out the GPU against and cut corners on the CPU, you may have a slightly better system for *today* but you've limited your future expansion much more.

[@jarlwilliam9932]

[@alphagamma1289]

Basically what you're saying is get an AM5 socket :)

[@jmass4207]

There's a consumer-specific set of value propositions to consider. Better performance now and over the lifetime of the current build is real value. Not everyone will keep most of their system when they upgrade again regardless of how much they try to plan ahead and leave 'room' for a 1-2 component migration. The timing/chance comes into play. And it's not the worst thing in the world to have a second system left on hand (or nearly one) after you upgrade. You can use it for different purposes or gaming in another room, gift to another, sell, etc. And the point in time where you will have the most breathing room for CPU upgrades will be the beginning of a new platform which exposes you to the most potential early-adopter issues.

This isn’t including the pc case, fans, water cooling/cpu cooler, accessories such as custom cables and not to mention peripherals such as keyboard and mouse, monitor and such. Keep in mind the prices I listed are in USD so I imagine CAD will be even more so it can get really pricy. Don’t let this discourage you though, like the people in this reply thread said, you can get good performance with budget hardware nowadays as games aren’t really getting more demanding nowadays on the low end. I personally am running a 3600 and 1660ti for 1080p gaming on my college pc and it’s served me quite well.

[@jpdj2715]

Biggest challenge may be selecting memory with timings that are beneficial to performance. If you're into gaming, follow YT wisdom and your discretion. For me it's hi-res images and a 1080ti works great, but its 11GB video RAM become limiting. For me and upgrade to, say, a RTX 4070ti Super (basically a slightly limited 4080) means 16GB but the ray tracing power will not help Lightroom (Camera Raw) and Photoshop. 32GB RAM is frequently exceeded so my workstation has 64GB (Windows - Linux and MacOS may need half of that or less). As to video RAM, part of image processing is done in the GPU and the OS wants to keep lots of pixels in the GPU RAM. GPU as coprocessor for LrC started a couple years ago and LrC was the only "user". Today even Windows uses it, e.g. to cache icons and previews of folder hierarchies. SW tools to "manage" that are limited.

[@deviousnate7238]

I especially like your cpu/gpu combo videos for the information about minimum and maximum pairings. Years ago I built a PC with a 3600 and 5700xt for 1080p 144hz, which was later upgraded to a 6800 and 1440p 170hz, and more recently a 5800x3d, with an eye to eventually pair it with something at your recommended max performance. (8800xt later this year?) Being able to alternate between cpu and gpu upgrades without the system ever feeling unbalanced has been great. If you are still producing this content whenever AM6 comes out, I'll be counting on you to help me repeat the process for my next build cycle. 👍

If you have money for a midrange gaming pc (1200-1500) definitely go for the amd 5 7600(x), over the i5. Single core (amd) is mostly better for gaming, cheaper and has ddr5. Next to that you can upgrade your cpu and gpu on the motherboard with amd. With an b650 motherboard (be sure its a am5 socket) and the 7800xt you will eat up 1440p gaming! Get yourself some 6000mhz cl30 ram and an nvme, gen3/4 ssd and you will elevate your gaming experience for a mid range price. This build would be between 1200-1500, without an screen ofc.

[@kelley09162]

So Jason doesn't recommend that GPU. If you're going Nvidia at least get the 4060 Ti 16GB. The other option is the Intel A770 or go AMD. As for the CPU either option is good.

[@xxShadowcavexx]

Really good video and got some ideas out of it. I originally intended to build a new system for the Nvidia 5000 launch, but after watching I might just upgrade my CPU. Right now I'm running an AMD 3800X with a RTX 3080 GPU at 4k. I think upgrading to 5700/5800X3D should be the best option paired with probably a RTX 5080 (depending on future test results). The CPU might still be a little bit on the lower end, but on 4k it shouldn't matter that much and it's much cheaper than building an AM5 system.

[@kelley09162]

I would go 5700X3D when you're able to and then upgrade the GPU later.

[@ablaauw70]

want to build a new pc and have 2 choices made. Which is the better choice? I am not the gamer I once was but I still want to play a new game. 1e. Asus ROG STRIX Z790, Intel Core i7-14700K, ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER OC,16GB GDDR6. OR 2e. ASUS ROG Strix Z890-A, Intel Core Ultra 7 265K - 3.9 GHz - 20 Kerne - 20 Threads, ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER OC,16GB GDDR6. So far i can see is the I7-14700K faster end in a combo Cheaper than the Ultra 7 The Ultra 7 is newer for that and will probably last a year longer. What is wise in this case?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

For gaming I strongly urge you to go 7600X. See our 7600X build guide for more.The intel CPUs are a disaster right now. But if you really want Intel the 14700K is the choice (with the warning about the degradation issues).

I do not at all recommend that CPU for gaming. Its absolutely terrible price to performance. You'd be much better off dropping to AM4 and getting a proper last gen CPU and budget GPU. See our Best Budget Builds 2024 for some much better options

I would upgrade your CPU/Motherboard first then later you can upgrade your GPU. Get a 5600/5600X and a B550 Motherboard. What's your budget for upgrades?

[@xavierhatten9011]

Just like with new smartphone releases, upgrading components like CPUs and GPUs should prompt a similar consideration. For example, if you own an iPhone 15 Pro Max, jumping to the iPhone 16 Pro Max might not make sense, as the changes are often minimal between generations. Similarly, with high-end hardware like the RTX 40 series, it’s wise to assess whether the incremental upgrades really offer significant improvements that justify the expense. For most people, holding off on upgrading every generation can lead to more meaningful enhancements and better value when they eventually decide to upgrade.

That CPU would bottleneck that GPU so I would recommend a faster CPU with it personally. But if you're planning to drop in a 13600K in there soon that's fine.

[@diogooishi1378]

What about a Ryzen 5 7600 with RTX 4060 (no Ti)? I have no budget for a 4060 Ti, lesser yet for a 4060 Ti 16gb, but I wouldn't like to be on AM4 platform on its lifecycle end, so the logical upgrade would be a 7600. I'm aware that the GPU would be the bottleneck, but I can consider upgrading for a 6060 or 7060 in the future, with Ryzen 7600 still delivering everything that it can deliver. Definitely a "bad" combo or only a slightly not optimized one?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

IMO you would have a better long term experience with just going with a Ryzen 5600 and RX 7700 XT 12GB. But you certainly can go with AM5 if that's what is important to you.

You can go 4070 or 7800XT but even there the CPU is going to start bottlenecking it so definitely not past that. I'd personally drop in a 5700X3D now then upgrade your GPU when you can as high as you want

Thank you for simplifying all the data in this and other videos. After seeing this one, I know exactly how to maximize gaming performance within my budget. This video actually saved me some money as I was leaning towards the i5-12600kf, but I see now that as a gaming oriented build it will not give me the increase in performance to cost (about 30$ more for the 12600kf where I live) The money saved can go to a decent air cooler. Great video... Going to see the build videos of 5600x and i5-12400 next.

Hello Jason, can you help me with some advice, i want to buy a Ryzen 7 5700 G version !! What is the best option to go with, the RTX 2060 or the RX 6750 ?? Ryzen 7 comes with 1 tb Ssd and 32 gb Ram and psu 650watt. Thanks Greetings from Amsterdam Europe.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hello Amsterdam. Unless that's the only thing available to you I really don't recommend that, especially since you plan to pair it with a GPU. Its different architecture than the 5600 and the 5600 would be a much better choice. See our Best Build September video for a great sample 5600 build guide

@@PCBuilderChannel thnx Jason, i will follow your nice vids, keep up the good work.

Is intel I7-11700 and a rtx 3060 a good combo??

[@kelley09162]

If you already have that CPU it's fine. You could also look at the Intel A770 GPU.

Right now, i have a Ryzen 5 2600x and GTX 1650 on a B450. I want an upgrade, thinking of getting a R5 5600 and Rx 7700, any advices on possible changes here?

[@kelley09162]

That would be a good upgrade.

I am a bit puzzled where I should I get next, as I have a 4070Ti paired with a faulty AMD R5 3600..Should I invest towards DDR5 and *ahem, perhaps Intel, because probably less problems ? Or should I try to keep on AM4 and if so, what would be a good fit to not bottleneck ? I feel like 5800x3D is too pricy for what it offers - from what I've seen. Using the PC for gaming, streaming and will go into (video,photo) editing as well

[@PCBuilderChannel]

The 3600 is bottlenecking that GPU for sure. AM4 doesn't have any more problems than Intel so I wouldn't worry about that. If you have the motherboard to support it I'd go 5700X3D.

[@horia43]

@@PCBuilderChannelThank you for your answer, sir ! May I ask for a little bit of reasoning for 5700x3D over 5800x, besides the L3 Cache ? In a comparison video I saw that 5700x3D is getting very similar results (often lower actually) in terms of fps - but worse 1% and 0.1% lows. Thank you again for taking some of your time ❤

[@kelley09162]

@@horia43 because the 5700X3D is better for Gaming vs the 5800X. Whatever video you saw I'm guessing wasn't the most accurate.
