I am using an old machine which is pretty long in the tooth. It has a 6700k + 1070 SC + 16 GB 3400 ram. Furthermore, I play at 1440p, but Tomb Raider is struggling at that resolution. I am wondering what I could upgrade to for 1000.

[@gruiadevil]

@@RXC13 For 800$ you can get a 5700X + RX 6800 and keep the RAM. If you have a 650W PSU it should be enough. It's going to get 60+ FPS in Ultra QHD, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

[@dianaalyssa8726]

Still rocking $200 CPU (2020 Shadowlands prepatch build): 9600k, 3060, 32gb ram, 1050w. I've thought about upgrading but it's okay 1440p downscaled WoW, casual games Diablo 4 server slammed like a champ 1440p though. WoW is the one this year people are upgrading past few months without FSR there has been a Dragonflight performance hit, With FSR raids are playable on low as evoker heals. Maybe the 7800X3D or something lower priced. I thought about doing the GPU also. It's in the okay for now, Will play Diablo 4 fine category. I think the only settings I touched for D4 were shadows and lighting, it honestly was a great server slam experience performance wise. IDK. 7600/X also looks okay if I move to a new platform soon but would be a 6 cores to 6 cores with better IPC move. It's okay but not amazing holding out with what I have until I decide to upgrade.

I'm so glad that y'all are growing, it's so important to grow the reach of people that are doing what they do purely to help others. Flawless quality again, only thing I'd say is that I'm currently not advising clients to build on AM5, simply based on the switch to LGA sockets, leaving aside the SOC burns, there are just too many bugs. Though, I will also say that a 7700x is currently the best choice if you're going to build an AM5 platform, given the aforementioned SOC problems, and bugs with the x3D chips.

Interested in the 5500 here over the 3600? The 3600 is PCIE 4.0 whereas the 5500 is 3.0. I just bought a 3600 over a 5600 here in Australia because the extra $70 AUD difference would only provide marginal improvement and would pay for a 16gb RAM kit.

[@CrumblingLeech]

I've had clearance issues with RGB ram kit against an AIO for the Fractal Pop Mini Air, they are too high for the rad to fit in. Hope this won't happen with the 2nd build!

[@rustyfleming3594]

I'm wondering, is there a difference in the MSI 2 fan RX 6750 XT, and the 3 fan Asrock RX 6750 XT? Will they perform the same? Will the MSI run hotter and lose performance? There's roughly a $30 difference, so not a deal breaker to go with Asrock?

[@rogued3mon414]

It makes a difference in terms of price to cooling. If they are priced the same, take the asrock one because it has better cooling. Performancewise, it's the same.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Not a huge difference no, I'd go for the cheaper one personally

[@stratuvarious8547]

SATA drives are fine, AFTER you've filled up your m.2 slots and run out of PCIe slots for a PCIe to m.2 adapter card. Sometimes, you just need more storage than you can reasonably get from your allocated motherboard slots.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Ok yes in that scenario they are fine. (;

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Antec case looks pretty nice, but I'm liking the Cougar Duoface too

[@KinGDGaminG63]

Don't need 32 gb of ram?. I was using over 20 playing last of us last night with nothing running but the game and steam launcher and msi center

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I have yet to see a single benchmark where 32GB makes a difference in FPS. If I've missed something, please shoot me a link and I'll check it out. I doubt we'll see 16GB not be good enough for gaming anytime soon as the PS5 maxes out at 16GB (though admittedly different unified architecture).

[@KinGDGaminG63]

@PC Builder yeah. I wonder why it's using it if it don't need it. Strange

[@bmdshred77]

I get why you steered him away from lancool 216 but I have never seen that other case and I have 216 and it’s just such an easy case to build in and airflow is so damn good.

[@Mark3h]

Hey Jason. Have you considered doing an updated prebuild recommendation list for those who arent confident enough or have the free time to build? While looking at pc builders here in the UK, the different branded parts each company uses makes the price flutuate wildly. Many of which not disclosing the make or model of the gpu selected.

[@TivvysToes]

15:04 wouldn’t you be bottlenecking the 7900xtx when playing on 1440p?

[@hololololololololololololololo]

i'm contemplating the exact same build you showed in the end. 5600 with 6950xt. I was wondering if I should go with 7600x since i kind of feel like the cpu might be the bottleneck when I play games in 1440p. 7600 also has future upgradability. really big dilemma as the 7600 cpu+mb+ram is around 100 dollars more expensive

[@hololololololololololololololo]

i just plan to play aaa games

[@PCBuilderChannel]

If you have the budget for it, it would be nice to go up to 7600 for the AM5 platform. But 5600 6950XT is a good combo as well, and you can always upgrade that to 5800X3D in the future

[@Karldin83]

7600 would probably be nice, but I doubt the 5600 will be much of a bottleneck when my 5800x doesn't bottleneck the 7900xtx. Was a little worried, but should be fine

[@Pand0rasAct0r_]

the 3800xt i have bottlenecks my 6950xt slightly. not big but not less. any ryzen 5000 cpu mitigates that easily. however i think an 8 core cpu like the 5700 is a much better pick. however your better off going for the 5800x3d than the 7600 as the 5800x3d is very competitive compared to the 7000 series and 13000 series

[@domesticdingo1417]

It is interesting in the first build you said M.2 drives are maybe a dollar or two more, in the browsing I've been doing recently it actually seems like there are better deals on the M.2 drives than the SATA ones. It seems like there's a ton of supply so especially the PCIe 3.0 drives are competing for lower and lower prices these days. EDIT: Something to keep in mind, a lot of the case market can feel cheap right now but when I was shopping for cases I was really trying to find a good deal on one with a USB-C on the front IO. The case you included in collegedude's does have a usb-c module you can add on separately but for people who are looking for that feature, cases do tend to be more expensive right now

[@xxxxtripxxxxOSG]

It is really a shame how hard it is to find cases that have USB-C in the front I/O considering it has been mainstream for a number of years now. Same with many motherboards not having USB-C or even a front panel connector for it.

[@OcDmn]

hope the USB C front will trickle down to under 50 MATX cases. heck in that price range there's still single USB3 lol

That 750w PSU seems awfully tight for an RX 6950, considering transient loads. AMD specs 850w as the minimum, And I'd honestly just invest a few extra bucks into a higher wattage unit.

First of all thank you for all you do and taking the time to share videos like these: I’m a first time builder with a 5,000usd budget trying to get a highly productive(priority) / gaming PC that will be years in long lasting and potentially future proofing. This budget also includes extras like a mouse, keyboard, monitor, and headphones. Reason for productivity is mainly rendering and animation using programs like blender and unreal engine. Below are some components I have picked out and some reasons for choosing them. pcpartpicker: /list/mMXszf CPU: i9 13900k (rendering) Cooler: NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB (screen display) Motherboard: Unknown RAM: Corsair Vengeance 64gb 2x32gb DDR5 6600 CL32 (DDR5 & 64gb) Storage: Samsung 990 pro 2tb (professional/ gaming utility) / Samsung 870 EVO 2tb 2.5”(project storage) GPU: MSI Suprim X RTX 4090 (rendering/gaming) PSU: FSP Group Hydro Ti Pro 1000w (12+4-Pin 12VHPWR Connector/ ATX 3.0) Case: Unknown ( Mid or Tall tower) Extra Fans: Unknown Monitor and extras: Unknown (high performance but nothing fancy needed) I would really appreciate your assistance and thank you once again

[@rogued3mon414]

Hello there. I've seen the list and YOU can do better than that. I kept your CPU and aio but I would go for the NZXT N7 Z790 for the motherboard. I would not go ROG as they face issues with their motherboards. For the RAM, why not go 4x16? I would recommend going for GSKILL TRIDENT Z5 RGB 6000 CL32 2x16 in 2 packs of it. Both packs priced the same as your corsair 2x32. For the storage, why not use an NVME for your project storage? I would recommend the TEAM TFORCE A440 pro as it's as strong as the 980 pro. For the GPU, I would recommend going for the 4090 aorus master as GIGABYTE makes good 40 series and that costs way less and it even has an LCD screen. FOr the case, I would just go LIAN LI LANCOOL 216 or the LANCOOL 3. It's got adequate airflow and you don't need extra fans. For the psu, I would go more than 1000w like the thermaltake toughpower GF3 1350w. That ensures your power supply lasts longer. For the monitor, I think you nees a 4k monitor like the ROG Strix XG32UQ. It's a 160hz IPS 4k monitor. Rest of the parts is up to you as I don't know your preference for peripherals and there's like a million to choose from.

[@Jay_Cartier369]

Finished my 13900k / 6950xt build a couple days ago it’s wonderful! Was 170-190 fps then around 220 in the gulag on 1440

[@j.p.h.8126]

12GB of VRAM is just fine ''for now''. Unless you want to play some certain games at 4K Ultra with RT on. But if you can buy a card that has more then it mite be better in the long run. I think that Nvidia and AMD are going to have to start bumping up the VRAM on their cards in the near future.

[@gregorytorosian2135]

if you live near a micro center i think the 12700k, auros z690 mobo with ddr4 ram for $350 is a great reason to get a 12th gen

[@iGhoSt121]

Probably gonna do something very similar to the last build for the same price without a monitor though… what would you recommend I spend that extra $300 towards? Stronger CPU? GPU?

[@rogued3mon414]

To me, get a better board like the aorus pro or the tomahawk wifi. Then a better 7900xtx (hellhound is a low rated GPU since it has cut down materials). For the CPU, a 7800x3D or a 7900x. Then a case and SSD of your choice.

I think you're underestimating how much RAM future games are going to suck up. That being said, most of the folk in the boost my build were requesting specific games so it's passable to recommend 16GB of RAM. As an example though, Diablo IV was using around 21Gb of RAM with 4k ultra settings. It would blow the poor 16Gb out of the water, fortunately I have 32Gb so I didn't have to worry.

I was going to suggest a i3 12100F or 13100F paired with a large quiet aftermarket cooler, 16 gigs of DDR4 and a B610 and an HDMI 2.1 capable sub $200 Arc A750 or RX6600 with most of the build budget going towards memory and an optical drive with the added bonus of playing RE remasters and Street Fighter 5 and 6.

I wonder if the chunky 7900XTX is going to choke for air being so close to the PSU shround in the mATX case? Since that is 3 slots + some GPU and the PSU shround in the Fractal case is not very well perferated. Not alot of room for the AIR to flow maybe.

[@OhhShiznits]

Sup dude,I really like your videos, so I want to upgrade my gpu and cpu. i would like to know what you recommend, and i mostly play fps shooters. Currently, I run: Asus tuf x570 wifi Amd 3600x cpu 2070 super 750 Corsair Psu Rip claws 3600 mhz

[@kelley09162]

I would go 5600 on the CPU and GPU maybe a 6800 XT or 6900 XT.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I think Ty's suggestions are good! See our recent 5600 build guide video for more

Excuse me Jason, I found the acer nitro vg240ys 165hz monitor for $140. What are your thoughts on the deal? I'm from India. Any other suggestions for the price range.

[@rogued3mon414]

That is a good price for a monitor especially in India. Acer makes good gaming monitors though.

aw thank you! Glad you are enjoying (:

[@thomaslayman9487]

wait is a 7900xtx gonna fit in an mATX case like the pop air mini ?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

You'll want to check the specs of the specific case to be sure

Currently running a ryzen 2600 and Evga 1070 SC. How much should i spend for a gaming + learning blender build?

[@manuelcanache1958]

I had a budget of £1000 ($1250) this is was I managed to build, it was my first time building a pc so I don’t know if was the best combo. Also I want to mention that I was looking specifically for SFF build Case: NZXT H1 V2 (It comes with AIO and 750w 80+ Gold PSU) £229 ($283) MB: Gigabyte B550-I Pro AX (Rev 1.2) £172 ($213) CPU: R5 5600X £150 ($185) GPU: ASUS Dual RX 6700XT £368 ($455) RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 CL18 2x16 £67 ($83) Total was £986 ($1218)

Hello Jason! I’m conflicted , currently have an HP victus 15L (Ryzen 5 5600G, teamgroup 16 GB DDR4 CL16 3200, 512GB M.2 , 1TB SSD and RX6400 ). These games are running havoc on the GPU and for me to upgrade I would need to upgrade the PSU that fits and they range for 400w $120+ and 500w $170+ if you can find the OEM (aftermarket PSU for this machine has not so good reviews) then I would need to find a GPU that fits , according to @techwiz the GPU’s that fit would be at 400w up to RX6650 XT and 500w up to RTX 3070 . Should I just build one using parts I have to save on cost? I was thinking B550 Tuf pro MB , using my 5600g cpu, DDR4, M.2 and SSD , purchasing RX 6950 XT and a good rated PSU and nice case. I do not care for RGB . Please help!

[@kelley09162]

I don't love the 5600g, but the RAM and storage should be good. What's your budget for upgrades?

[@groove269]

@@kelley09162 I’d say $600 if not getting the rx6950 xt . Mostly play multiplayer games , FPS . I don’t think I’d get much if I were to sell the victus to put towards new-ish build

[@sethdills6889]

Do you think the microcenter 7900x/asus b650e-f/6000 cl 32 or 34 ram is a good buy? I have not been able to find a new gen build cheaper. Prefer am5 for future. Will be matched with 7900xtx, 1k watt power supply. Budget isnt really set, more interested in value over budget.

[@richardlee846]

Hi Jason, love your channel! I have a motherboard question. I am using a Crosshair VII Hero with a 6900XT, 5800X3D and 32gigabits of ram. 850 watt psu. My question is: Should I upgrade my motherboard? Will it make that much of a difference? I race on iRacing. Thanks for your time and what you do! Much appreciated!

[@mirai2967]

Hey Jason! i was wondering if you could tell me what should i update in my setup i currently have Ryzen 5 3600 16 gigs 3200 mghz RX6600XT OC 700W 80+ standard MBO Gigabyte A520M S2H (i was thinking it will be the cpu probably but idk . I’ll leave it to the specialist)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yep I'd pop in a 5600, then when you are able you can upgrade the GPU all the way up to a 7900XT or 4070ti. See our "how to upgrade your pc" video for more (:

Jason, with one is better? an i7 13700kf or ryzen 7 7700, i would like to play games (god of war , overwatch ,cs go ) but also for work .

[@PCBuilderChannel]

For gaming and basic work stuff I'd recommend 7600 paired with the best GPU that fits your budget personally. But if you need to do production style work (video editing, blender etc) then 7700 or 13600K are good choices. See our 7600 and 13600K build guides on the channel for more

[@captaindcc]

Could I ask if it’s possible to build a low power at idle and low power usage while gaming 1440p PC? Maybe through undervolting? Lowering tdp? Which components are best for this? Also needs c8 sleep state. Not sure if impossible it not

[@giorgibulia4521]

I watched your SSD videos. So, what do you think about getting a gen4 SSD instead of finding a good gen3 one and when is it a good choice? Which gen4 SSD can be grabbed for those who have only gen3 comparable motherboards? (Just pay a little much and don't worry about possible better performance on Gen 3 level.) 1 or 2 TB versions.

[@whiteypants7074]

How tf you fit 7 fans in that micro atx case lmfao

[@Frost_186]

check out the fractal design Focus G. It seems to be a new budget case on the block with some very nice hints of the meshify C.

[@x7juggernaut7x]

Love you videos!!! I have question for you. I acquired a pile of usable parts and I want to complete a build that makes sense for gaming (iRacing, ACC, Forntite), maybe some streaming, and definitely my work-from-home O365 workloads. I have i7-12700, RX 6750 XT, and Kingston KCP548US8-16 DDR5 x2 RAM (is this garbage RAM?). What would be good to round this out as an understated (LED/RGB not needed at all) but capable gaming rig? $600 max budget. THANKS!!!

[@agilesh8485]

will there be any live Q&A ? thanks for all your teachings, simple but very informative ☮

[@sp1cy_cholo]

Hey I just want to know whether an i7 13700k a good cpu for 4070 ti. If not what CPU would you recommend

[@sp1cy_cholo]

Ryzen is good btw 🙃

[@rogued3mon414]

The 13600k would be good also and costs less

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Good combo depending on what you are doing. If you are doing a production focused build this sounds good. If mostly gaming I'd be going 7600 and 7800XTX instead

[@sp1cy_cholo]

@@PCBuilderChannel decided to go full send and go Radeon Rtx7900xtx but should I go 7700 or 7900X for the cpu?

[@rogued3mon414]

@@sp1cy_cholo Either the 7900x/7900 or the 7800x3D. 7900x has 64mb L3 cache while the 7800x3D has 96mb cache. 7700 is still good tho with 32mb cache. Edit: Don't buy asus boards for now as they face some issues with em.

[@cubetikiller]

Also get a windows key for a lot cheaper

[@speedbit1750]

I really like that you explain why you think other pieces of software are better , that is why I do not like other channels that tell you something is better but do not really explain why at least not in a clear way as you do.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks for the feedback! Glad its helpful

[@Fortyozkilluh]

awesome video, im considering a 7700 build... but the gpu market right now is kinda blah. would it even be worth it with a 6700 xt? i dont really want to go any higher because the power consumption isnt exactly great, but nvidia isnt exactly a better option lol.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I'd go 7600 with it personally, that would be a solid combo. But you can also go 5600.

Hi! First time building a pc, previusly owned a prebuilt. This is the build I am thinking of getting, 1440p gaming and future game development. HZXT H7 flow RTX 4080 Amd ryzen 7700x Asus tuf 650B Corsair icue H150i Corsair ddr5 ram, 32 gb Corsair RMX series 1000 watts 1 tb ssd SN770 This comes to almost 2400, this good?

[@rogued3mon414]

I would just get a 240mm aio since that's enough to cool the 7700x or get a cheaper 360mm aio like the DEEPCOOL LS720 se. For the case, I would just recommend the LIAN LI 216. For the power supply, I would get something with the 5.0 cable like the montech titan gold or the thermaltake GF3. And for the SSD, I would get a 2tb like the TEAM TFORCE CARDEA A440 pro.
