[@MaryannLynch-z9c]

I think a 7600 or 7700 is appropriate given the price of the 7800X3D with the 9800X3D sitting around the corner waiting to release. Am still good with my rig, been helping my friend price storage lately.

"It's about getting you what you want, when you want it" Exactly sir! So many people let waiting for great deals stop them from getting good deals, and others wait so long they miss stock entirely.

[@GroetenUitNederland]

Happened to a colleague of mine. He could have bought a RX 7900 GRE for €520,- Inc. tax. The model was even excellent tested on our nations biggest hardware website (edit = Inc. tax)

[@AZusaYX]

Yeah, money is always tight these days, but i would kick myself way harder waiting for rock bottom prices just to wind up missing out entirely, or having to wait months longer for that pricing again. I understand that saving 20 bucks here. And 10 bucks there adds up, heck i still do budget am4 builds for people just getting into the hobby, so yes i deal hunt for that tier of hardware, but having the parts for 10 or 20 bucks more than someone who spends all day refreshing newegg and jawa to get the best possible price is worth it to garauntee you get the parts you need to complete the machine and put it into service, rather than have several hundred or over 1000 dollars of hardware just sitting incomplete while you try to save an extra 2% on total build cost on your last few parts is a level of patience i dont really have.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yes!

[@Mr_Joe_B_619]

[@David-pi9lb]

I considered waiting for the latest AMD CPU's but boy am i glad i decided to go with the 7800X3D just before the new CPU's came out. Saved me money compared to prices now and the new CPU's turned out to be not worth it anyway.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Exactly this! I understand the urge to wait as nobody wants to build something and then have it no longer be the best a month or two later. But Tech moves fast these days and I urge folks to get what is best for them when they want it.

[@joelferguson625]

I haven't made the switch to AM5 CPU's, I still run my desktop with windows 10 and will be doing so for as long as I can. Honestly the Ryzen 5700x3d as a drop in upgrade for anyone still on AM4 is excellent. The biggest downside of AM4 for gaming in 4k is that you're going to want a solid B550 or X570 motherboard that makes use of faster storage, ram, and pice bus bandwidth. Personally I'm still happy with my Windows 10 desktop, I prefer using it over my Windows 11 laptop.

[@JeremyBell]

@@PCBuilderChannel I'm extremely confused why you're suggesting your viewers should buy a 7800x3d in the first place?! What's the use case? This CPU is extreme overkill for 95% of gamers.

[@JBrinx18]

I got that Seasonic Focus GX Gold 1000W for $131 off of Newegg. Now I can OC my 6950xt if I want to without tripping. But i found out the main problem with my build was my memory. It was faulty, so I sent it in for replacement and got your recommended Silicon Power sticks!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Great!!! Yes sadly a certain % of all RAM sticks will fail, and it sucks when you get unlucky! But glad you fixed it!

6950XT for $279?? Where?

[@Bezxex]

@@rubenramirez8062 pre owned, and really lucky

[@ronsupernault]

Wow, I'm thrilled that this got on an episode. This build was for my wife's first PC. (Already been built). We ended up squeezing the budget a little for a pink 4070 GPU. Funny that you put the Vetroo v240 AIO on there because I originally was going to use that, but everyone & their brother kept telling me that an AIO was unnecessary. Ended up going with Team Group for the RAM & found the Adata m.2 SSD on my own. We plan to add more storage down the road. The SSD in the case is meant to be the OS drive. Overall, I think I did pretty well for my first build. 25:35 I'm now working on a build for myself that will be a power-house 4k gaming rig.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks for sending it in and congrats on your build!

[@ronsupernault]

@PCBuilderChannel Thanks. Seeing your recommendations was validating on whether I made good choices in the end. I feel like I did pretty well. The case was the money pit, but my wife really wanted that specific case for the pink theme. The only part I didn't end up liking was cable management between the fans & the controller. The fans only had daisy chains for the 3-pin connection but not the 4-pin. Getting them all to reach in that case was...frustrating.

[@gtphil1489]

If you wanna go another level up on aesthetics (and way up on price), you could get a NZXT Kraken Elite 240 or Z53 in white. They are AIOs with an LCD display so you can show a cute animated character as the centerpiece of your build. There is a cheaper kraken non-elite, but it has a much smaller display inside a black circle which is not as appealing.

[@ronsupernault]

@@gtphil1489 that's a cool idea. My wife would dig the animated LCD.

[@alvesvaren]

5:57 I don't agree, for 99% of use cases DRAM-less is basically as fast as ones without it, I'd rather spend less and get more storage If you're moving large files around often, the increase in write speed might be nice but for everything else, DRAM-less for cheaper is the way to go nowadays with HMB

[@stephenallen4635]

yeah its weird that the people recommending spending more from dram cache drives have never actually tested the difference

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Hey Ty! So they are still supplying it (at least it seems that way!). What happens is that when the weekends come they sell out and restock midweek. Demand seems to be massively outstripping supply right now. Whether AMD is doing that or just demand is crazy is hard to tell.

If your building and looking at getting 4070 GPU watch out we see them been made with slower GDDR6 memory this drops raw memory bandwidth by 5%, so not going to be as good the only reason got one if they cost less than the GDDR6X models so chech memory and make sure your GPU use GDDR6X

Your updated build is good and I agree with most of your recommendations. You did say you wanted an SSD with DRAM but added the UD90 which is DRAMless. These people seem like first time builders, and usually I'll recommend air coolers (Thermalright PA120 or PS120) instead as they have less failure points but that Aqua Elite V3 is a solid price, can't argue against it. Solid build, solid advice.

[@RagnarokCo]

Thanks for hanging in there Jason, I could tell how much it hurt for you to boost a build with a more expensive case setup than CPU. But I do think it highlights an opportunity for case manufacturers. Very few cases come in a different color than white or black.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yes!!! I think I've talked about this in a previous Q&A at some point, but my issue with things I call the "NZXT Virus" or the "Corsair Virus" is people who want max performance but get fixated on one specific part (Lian Li O11 Dynamic comes to mind!) without realizing how much performance they have compromised. But if a particular aesthetic is the goal - for instance an all white or pink build - then let's do it!

In the first build I know you went with the persons direction and that is totally fine. I am curious however if a 7500f/7600x plus a 4080 super would give you better performance? I suspect it would be better at 4k just not sure if that cpu would bottleneck at 1440p. Any ideas?

It's so disappointing to see AMD embracing such anti-consumer practices, like jacking the price up on Ryzen 7000 because they developed a crappy next generation that nobody is buying. AMD seems to forget that their value prop has been being a good value, with better prices and as good or better performance than Intel. Their focus on AI is likely what's hurting them, and it will cost them market share if they're not careful.

I'm stuck in limbo right now. I held off on upgrading until after my vacation, expecting Zen 5 to offer more than it did. Not that I was planning to buy it at AMD's usual inflated launch prices, but I hoped Zen 4 would drop in price. Now, look what happened-the 7800X3D has spiked, and a new X3D chip is on the way. So, I'm left with two options: either bite the bullet and pay a €70 premium (which keeps rising), or wait for the 9800X3D announcement, hoping prices settle down. Maybe Arrow Lake will shake things up, and I might even have to switch to Team Blue-which I really don’t want to do, considering the current state of things.

I got that combo and it works well. Depends on the games you play. I personally play lots of CPU intensive games and I am really happy I went with the 7800X3D instead of a worse CPU and better GPU.

[@KonglomeratYT]

There is always a bottleneck. If you go from playing Space Marine 2 to Victoria 3, a perfectly balanced system will experience two completely different bottlenecks.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

You would get better performance dropping to a 7600 and going up on your GPU choice so I wouldn’t do that personally

[@Pistolstar01]

Would you say upgrading to 7900xt would be good I don’t want to downgrade cpu because I plan to play lots of cpu intensive games

[@goldenghostgod5333]

I paid 377 for my x3d in March. I’ve only had the pc put together for about 3 months. I wasn’t even thinking about building a pc when that chip was 320

[@carlosemiralonso7997]

Not gonna lie, Im not gonna buy a pc gamer (another one) anytime soon. This is pure entertainment. That being said, informative too.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@sammasic5849]

Still running on AMD 5600x since 2020 and 7900xtx since 2022. No need for an upgrade for while.

[@PlayerGuyPlays]

For video editing they are going to need more storage soon, to segregate the work load

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Up to the editor! I keep giving my wife separate drives for her films and she never uses them lol

[@m4hk4h]

I just got a 7600X for 160€ on eBay, can't wait to start my build. 😁

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Best wishes on your build!

[@Fear0537]

I'm planning to get a 7800X3D wirh 7900 GRE for 1440p ultrawide!

[@whiteinstinct2121]

can you please get some pc build recommendations (sweet spot) for Deep Learning and Gaming? hard to consider thank you

[@RC-ITgaming]

I'm fine with everything but the case. The montech cases I've built in for customers all feel cheap and like I'm gonna snap the parts, my staff feel the same about them we've had about 20 go through our shop.

[@PCgamerChannel]

So glad I built my pc 4 months ago. I got the ryzen 7 7800 for 320 XD. For 2077 dollars I got a 4080 super and ryzen 7 7800x3d, same build would be a few hundred more now

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Nice!

[@helloweener2007]

Prices are insane for the 7800X3D In Germany you can still get it at Mindfactory, but the price. 7800X3D 444,- EUR 7900X3D 455,- EUR 9900X 474,- An the best 8 Core for the price is still the 7700 tray for 216,- EUR You can get a 4070 Ti Super for 802,- and a 4080 Super for 999,- So you can have a 7800X3D + 4070 Ti Super for 1,246 EUR or a 7700 + 4080 Super for 1,215 EUR.

[@TheMaskedNinja_]

Sometime next year I'm going to spend probably close to 4000 on my second PC, hopefully I can get into a boost my build before I end up pulling the trigger

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Best wishes on the build!

[@sandornyemcsok4168]

I would be curious about the secondary and tertiary timings of the EXPO profiles of the first build. Because the tCL does not really matter, CL 30 vs 36 is not a big deal. tRCD, tRP, tRAS are the same on both kits. However the Corsair is Samsung, the Teamgroup is Hynix M die.

[@DonGynikoo]

I bought the Palit Gamerock Classic 4070 Ti in January last year because I didn't want to spend 1350 euros on a 4080. The 4070 Ti was a great card and I never had any problems with the only 12GB of VRAM. This year I sold my 4070 Ti and bought the Gigabyte 4080 Super Gaming OC for 1100 euros. It's a very good card, but compared to my Palit Gamerock Classic 4070 Ti it looks very boring. If I had known that the 4070 Ti Super was coming out I would have waited to buy the normal 4070 Ti but you can't know that but now it doesn't matter anyway because I already wanted to buy the 4080 before and now I have the 4080 Super for 250 euros less and still have a few percent more performance. VRAM is not always the most important thing because when you see that there is only 4 FPS on average between the 4070 Ti and the 4070 Ti Super, it's an absolute joke in my opinion. 4GB more VRAM and 4 FPS more on average...WOW...really intense.

[@ChrisZukowski88]

Vram size is not for speed....Having extra Vram never hurts. Having not enough V ram does!

[@maxelito7590]

my option would be go for (G-SKILL CL30 32GB 6000 Mhz) insted and (ARCTIC FREEZER iii) watercooler then go for like NZXT H6 flow insted of that H5. DONT FORGET ANTI-SAGG also =D

[@Akuouji]

what is the best alt for 7800x3d to pair with rtx 4070ti super then? I didn't see you mention about it (after replaying ofc), unless I missed it out

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I'd go 7600 right now. Strong CPU (its what I have in my personal gaming rig) and you'll be ready for upgrades in the future. Check out our latest video on the channel for more.

[@christopherguillot9377]

Why not 7900 xt for $100 less?

[@oldmatttv]

Great vid!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed

[@mikesmith-wk7vy]

i just picked up the 5900x cpu for 250$ well worth it for the mid life of my computer since my 5800x has been way too hot for something in its category . not ready to upgrade platforms yet and the 5800x3d and 5950 are over 300$ and i dont need that much performance

[@cory0778]

I love these videos 💪🏻

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@xcliinton]

First build didnt look like it had "Problems" in comparison to slight adjustments needed. *Im also not a fan of the 4070 series cards as a whole lol* Also dont sleep on those insane Air Coolers either! Not every build needs another point of failure.

[@MarakiTech]

I can’t wait for the x3d version of the 9000 series

[@blingyman123]

I got a 3070ti and i7 8700k, still going strong. Is it worth a cpu upgrade now?

[@radeononi758]

Wrong case for that small of a cooler, cpu thermals need either a high af case or large cooler. These will throttle still.

[@radeononi758]

That's also a bit too small for thermals as a case, air acts as insulation if you can't get rid of it.

[@timothywells8589]

Personally I would always put money into a good psu especially a 1000+w, with the 5090 around the corner rumored to be 600w you'll be kicking yourself if you have to upgrade your psu as well. I upgraded my psu to 1000w to run 2x 3090 but kicking myself now I didn't go for 1,200+w. I use the gpus mostly for inference learning and llms.

[@DPbuildsNcreations]

If he would have gone to Micro center he could have gotten the original PC around 1,800. The 7800x3d in micro center is 389 Plus the corsair is 109, the CL30 6,400 AIO - artic liquid freeze is 99 So he could have done it with OG build and maybe add a 4080

[@j.p.h.8126]

In the last pink build since its going to have a black PSU i would sugest getting some pink or white cable extensions if the budget can be streched just a bit. 😃

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Yes for sure, I was just out of budget in the build. Probably should have mentioned that but we were rushing to get this video done before Hurricane Francine hit.

[@j.p.h.8126]

@@PCBuilderChannel What a hurricane is everything ok there? 😱

[@kismeras]

How do I submit a build to be boosted?

[@CaLiKiLLa01]

Built about 2 months ago missed the 7800x3d at $350 prime special but got it at $368 if I remember correctly. Best Buy had the 4090 OC Asus for $1999 replaced the 4080S OC I had originally for the build. That’s for sale only used a month.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Nice!

[@MaryannLynch-z9c]

Can see that 7600 or 7700X for people that missed the 7800X3D being cheap. I'm still okay with my rig 12900KF 4090 48gb DDR5 Gskill. I haven't been into the new Nerub-ar Palace raid at all yet to test performance. Unlocked the new earthern LOTR style dwarves so I'll probably level one or more. I think a 7800XT would be good for a lot of people around that 1K mark or trying to make PS5 pro slayer pcs. 6800 might be enough to slay the PS5 Pro.

[@harrycee656]

Nowadays you start with the GPU then match to that. Mid grade GPU mid grade system to support it with a mind on upgrades. Upgrade path is only a concern mid to low end. High end buyers are just going to get a new system after selling it for 1/2 their purchase price.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Pretty much. CPUs have gotten a lot faster in the midrange and lower end, mostly due to the introduction of increased L3 cache even on the lower end models.

[@jabronilifestyle]

nowadays I start with the case then match to that lol

[@ram89572]

I don't understand selling the old system at all. When I upgrade, my old system goes into a closet until I need the parts for something or a friend or family member needs them. Money much less money compared to what I spent on the parts to begin with does me zero good when there is a hardware failure and an RMA has to happen

[@ptah4000]

Considering building a "waiting build" with a 8600g with a 650e motherboard with plans to get a ryzen 9800x3d and next gen mid tier graphics in the next 12 months. I will probably just wait it out with my 10400 system for now.

[@codycrabtree3684]

8:03 the 7900GRE is cheaper and does better unless your using Ray tracing if you're not using rice tracing, the 7900GRE is a much better card in my opinion because of the price difference

[@Will-zi6fn]

Tbf the guy wanted to do video editing and streaming as well which is probably why he went for nvidia

[@dg-dm1rr]

im kicking myself for not getting a 7800x3d a month ago when i was getting the other components for my new build. now i cant find it anywhere or its 100$ more expensive 😭

[@PCBuilderChannel]

It’s frustrating for sure

[@obalasgaming155]

Its like 350 euros at my place soo its not that expensive...
