I have a question is the Ryzen 7 7800x3d not too good for the rx 7800xt? in some other builds I saw them using the Ryzen 5 7600x instead. I also saw that in some games the gpu was on 100% while cpu only was in 30%@@CRATERHQ​

[@MULTYGAMERLOVER]

@@barryhastodie7600x is a more common place even a 7600, heck my build that i made was the exact same sapphire pure gpu but a 7600x instead last month. The only reason you would ever get a 7800x3d is that down the line you would get a better GPU. ie the new 4070 tie super and above series or 7900xtx. So its usually up to the consumer/player, would you get a 7800x3d (hopefully on sale) in hopes in upgrade later. Or just stick with the best mid+ tier combo you can get right now which is a new AM5 cpu+mobo and a strong price to performance 1440p card (which is the resolution i wanns play & stay at)

I had added the exact same items as the video into my Amazon cart, which was a little over $1800. I’m not sure if I had done something wrong, but that was the total that it came out to.

the 7800X3D is a gaming monster, you can even couple it with an RTX 4090 and you still get the job done for gaming, right now there is a good value in the i5 12600K/KF, I know you did a build with it 3 months ago, but, you still can do another combo, maybe with an RTX 3060 12GB or an RX 6800 XT/ non XT

If so, which one would you recommend that could replace the bronze rated PS for this build?

I’m glad you involved ark for the fps test, I currently have a 1660 super and I can’t even get 20 frames on the damn game and is the reason I’m looking to upgrade. This build is beefy af for a reasonable price!

you would probably get better frames with a 4070 if you remove the clouds and fog and use dlss and frame gen i get around 100 fps like that

Probs worth just not playing the fkn game :D if a game cant even be played on high graphics over 60fps consistently when spending £1500 etc yet the pc can run everything else perfectly fine....that screams an issue with how the games been optimised and it aint worth spending another 500/1000 for 1 god damn shit game

I just built one of these yesterday, overall impressed with it the temps scare me but it’s supposed to be normal. I went with a Wi-Fi/bluetooth board. I went with a crucial 2tb ssd and a 850 watt gold rated psu. I went with the deep cool cooler with digital readout and a deep cool case and 32g 6000mhz ram. Was my first trip to micro center, glad it’s a 2 hour drive as I could see me spending tons of money there if it was closer. I was googling what these are going for prebuilt and it’s anywhere from $1600 to $1800 but none have a Wi-Fi/bluetooth motherboard and only a 1 tb ssd, and a 750 watt psu. I’m all in at $1200 with what I built I firmly believe it would be $1800 or $2000 on Amazon or Newegg. Got the 7800xt for $489 which is the best price I’ve found on it.

drop the white looks, go for black because its cheaper. then what you want to do is replace the 7800xt with a 7900gre and if you want future proofness buy the 850W psu you dont have to tho. if its a bit over 1500 and you really want to stay beneath 1450 go for the r7 7700x cpu instead. if you dont like the case in this vid take a look at thermaltake or corsair cases, they are reasonable priced and maybe even higher quality and definetly better looking.
