This is the PC I REALLY use...(2024)

About a year and a half ago I made a video about my personal gaming/editing system, and spoke about why I used my chosen components.
This is an updated version of that video, and since the last one I've made a few changes to my personal rig. I want to share those changes with you, as sharing my long-term experiences will hopefully help you decided if parts like these are right for you.
I'd consider this build mid-range, but some would say it's low-end as the CPU and GPU are the weakest in their respective line-ups. All I know is that this system is fine for my needs.
I'll also be discussing any upgrades I want to make, as well as any changes or alternatives I'd suggest for a PC like this.
Thanks for watching :)

@@test_account939 I would say only upgrade if you want or need it. Usually the wants are not aligning with the needs, so usually your wallet decides it. Or the need! I am rocking on a 1500X cpu (+16GB Ram), but of course my main rig is a beefier one. For what I need It's usually an overkill (the main rig), but sometimes I need it, so it comes handy. On other days the 1500X is doing fine for daily tasks, learning, playing and entertainment (music and video)! Amazing times we live in! With a 6 years old cpu you can still have decent performance for some tasks, not like in the 90's where a 2 years old machine was obsolete, but completely! Enjoy your rig, until you feel you can't enjoy it, because of reasons.

Respect. This is an honest system, not a hotshot KZbin 'review samples' machine - despite there being some of that in pieces. I love the fact that your setup remains functional, humble, and cost conscious. Also, a thing that a lot of folks forget is that 'how you game' has a big effect on what's right for each of us. Not sure what you default to on your own time - but I don't do competitive eSports, first person shooters, or AAA 'open world' stuff too much (Ok, I like Grand Theft and Red Dead, but - honestly - I have those on console...). I roll with cRPGs, and some Indie/Retro titles. Yeah, I occasionally play the Witcher series, or mess around with the whole comic book adaptation - but I just don't need a 4090 or RX 7800 type card. I do like style so I collect some older cards, most of which CAN STILL DO WHAT I DO. I find myself on the CPU bottleneck, a lot - Baldur's Gate 3 is a prime example. My favorite way to play, however, is with an Arc a380, Pentium g7400, and a 75hz CRT at 1600x1200. That's not my 'normal' computer - which I rarely, if ever, game on (eh, it's that tinkering side, as you'd say). I keep the main system fairly recent to let my wife have a hassle free situation with maximum rewards for someone who just beats the damn game regardless of the settings. Me, I meander about and explore... both in game and component wise. So, hey, thanks, man. Keep on keepin' on.

Nothing wrong with spending money on your hobby - the main thing is that you get fun and entertainment out of it. If that's from the hardware itself then great. Maybe it's a UK thing, but I don't know anyone here who has a "high-end" system and upgrades regularly - so long as it does what you want, we tend to stick with what we have.

On the topic of DDR5 DIMMS, the 8GB DIMMs if I remember right use x16 ICs, you should see 4 chips on one side, these are cheap basically but are slower than DIMMS with x8 ICs when repeatedly accessing data.

Just a heads up. I'd avoid ebuyer here in the UK. They'll do anything to avoid a warranty claim. I sent back a motherboard that went faulty. They said there was nothing wrong with it, then shipped it back to an address that wasn't even on my account and I haven't lived at in 5 years. Needless to say I lost it entirely. They lost a big customer that day as they wouldn't even own up to their screw up at all.

Very interesting system, surprised how cheap used options are in your area.

I went 7600 with a B650E-I combo and 2x32GB 5600 RAM, stuck it in a tiny Chopin Max case and overclocked and undervolted it, including the iGPU. Then I stuck a 140mm Noctua fan on top, squeezing another 8W from the CPU. It's a fun, portable build! 😼

Great Video as always! For me personally its a Ryzen 7 5700X overclocked to 5GHz with an NZXT Kraken 240 as cooler on a ASUS ROG Strix B550-F with 4x16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3600MHz, together with a XFX Radeon RX 7800 XT Merc 319 in a Nzxt H5 Elite case. And all getting powered by a Corsair RM750x. Pretty happy with it and it will surely get me thru for the next 3-5years.

wow. i cant even get my 5800x to 5ghz without freakishly high voltage. good job. i went the undervolt route instead, i set power limit to 100w (old is 120w or 125w) and did -30 on the voltage offset so i run around 4.85ghz all core. runs cooler on all core workloads, doesnt go above 64c on my 280mm with the fans at the lowest speed and didnt change performance in games.

For me AM5 comes to: - Buy now 7500F and upgrade with the latest Gen on the socket. Great chip and best price/perf currently - Overspend and go for 7800X3D and forget about it for 5? years

Always liked how modest your builds are. Most people don't need a mega pc. Especially since most gamers are just playing Overwatch, Valorant, Fortnite, etc. You dont always need the latest hardware to have a good time gaming!

[@denox420]

From my testing, the deep cool ak620 is a great lil cooler, unless your pulling more than 250w thru your cpu

[@williammathies2998]

Thanks!

[@hmorris]

500k subs? I remember when you had 50k man that’s crazy!

[@ifezwants]

I would like to see a comparision between this and the 12400F PC u were using

[@zilverman7820]

Good news guys. You don't need to overspend on your pc to play and enjoy high end games with just a mid setup like this dude.

My PC is right between your old one and your new one, I got a prebuilt from eBuyer on offer a couple years ago as it offered good value at the time (marginally cheaper than same/similar parts on PCPartPicker) and was new to PC gaming at the time so didn't want to jump straight into building one myself. I could've got better for the money now but the GPU shortage was still in affect at the time as well as COVID. For £820 Mobo: ASUS B550M-K CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: ASUS OC dual RTX 3060 (12gb) RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200mhz Storage: 1tb Samsung m.2 + 1tb WD HDD I want to upgrade the ram and storage soon as I know newer titles need an SSD and use up tons of space, but for the most part I'm happy with it. Also the case ventilation is not the best, so the GPU regularly hits the high 70s, it has a decent CPU cooler inside though. My monitor is 1440p 95hz and older/esports titles easily max it out, while new AAA titles hover nearer 60fps with DLSS.

[@otacon5648]

Man I love your content so much but at over half a million subs, I would think you could have one of every gpu made in the last 5-6 years on hand to do any comparison test as you need to. Certainly from the 10 series onwards. I know a KZbinr who had a dozen cars including three Ferraris before he hit half of the subs you have, so you definitely have the money.

[@MasonzeroDigitalWorks]

That's a nice looking PC! One question I have though, is if you didn't care about the temperature monitor, would you still use an ATX case with your mATX motherboard? I've never quite understood that, unless a lower price was a factor. That said, I have the Lian Li case that can reconfigure to support ATX or mATX and I have my mATX board in there in the mATX config. So maybe I'm not one to talk!

[@cazix7642]

This guy and Iceberg Tech have such a similar vibe, nice rig though!
