For that $2k build I would have mentioned that since they got a higher end computer, they should consider upgrading their monitor. 1440p 160+ Hz is awesome… if the screen doesnt look like crap. I’d spend money there if I were that person too. Doesnt net as much performance but I think its something gamers overlook

Man, fitting a good gpu in those price points and your knowledge of price points is very impressive. Good work this time as well Jason!

[@andrewcahill3790]

To really help that second build with the guy who wants to play rust, rust is one of those games that massively benefits from the stacked cores on the x3d. So the performance difference between the 7800x3d and the 7700 is going to be a lot. You can have a 1080ti and have the same fps as a 4090, fps is entirely cpu based in Rust. So anyone who want's to play games like Rust, Battlefield, ANY MMO, or high density entity games please do your self a favor and buy an x3d.

I think the 2000 build needs a 2TB SSD. Also, if you already have a PC, create a Microsoft account, then build the new one and sign in to, there is a good chance you don't need to buy a license.

FYI, if planing on using a wifi pci card on the budget build the 6700xt will block the pci slot. So either use a thumb stick or a pcie relocation cable. Oh and this is the same exact build but went with the sapphire gpu.

[@thelaughingmanofficial]

Rule of thumb: Just because a part is cheap (or has had a price reduction), doesn't always mean it's a good deal.

[@MrHeHim]

ATX 3.0 just really adds ALPM for very low idle power and PCI-5.0 power connectors just remove redundant cables when you have multiple PCI 8-pin cables plugged in (really to make 16 pins more compact). Jonnyguru has a good talk about that and transient spikes on eTeknix, they happen so fast that it doesn't have time to pull said transient power from the cables and drop voltages/power delivery. So basically it's something to be resolved with capacitance/rails on or near the GPU die 😅 which might already be addressed because you won't see the spikes and would be seeing voltage drops on the GPU board reporting.. I'm getting in over my head here, but that's my impression

[@unraveled4639]

This is very important. When buying g skillz ram for ryzen am5. You HAVE to buy the NEO version. And not the z5 only. G skillz neo has the expo profile for ryzen, while the z5 have xmp for intel system. Your system may not boot corectly if you do not chose the Neo version. I have the same MB with a 7800x3d.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

This isn't correct. All of the AM5 boards will use either XMP or EXPO profiles. And there is no performance advantage of using one over the other. Many kits now come with both. We've tested this in a number of Ryzen build videos, check out our 7600 build guide for more.

[@Jwalker76]

I think boost my build is my favourite videos of all the content you produce. I know a fair amount about computer hardware but I don't have the experience you have in building PCs. It's interesting to see your opinion on products like which motherboard to choose. My knowledge on which motherboard to buy and which ones to avoid isn't that strong. On the first build you really helped that guy out. Buying a RTX 3050 is not going to be a great experience. Some people just buy Nvidia because they don't know if AMD or Intel GPUs are any good. And with lower to mid level GPUs generally you're better off with a 6600 over a 3050 yet you managed to squeeze a 6700xt in the build. The second build was cool getting a 7900xtx over the GPU they had considered buying, the 6800xt. Also if you play starfield with this PC the 7900xt is the best performing GPU for this game. Although I'm not sure at 4k if it's faster than a RTX 4090. Given how low the fps is in starfield I don't think I would play above 1440p.

For this tier of PC I wouldn't skimp on B450 / 5500. Get a cheap B550 that supports 4.0 and a 5600 that supports 4.0. Plus double the L3 cache. Sometimes you save money buying the right parts from the start. You have a good deal more future use out of a 5600 and Gen4 PCIe. I bought two 5600's for $106 each well over a year ago.

@11:48 i have a 3600x build and was going to get the 6800XT, as I only have the 5600xt right now that cannot push starfield above 60 fps ,thank god you changed my mind, I just want to be able to 60+ on 1440 and I will be at peace, found this channel yesterday and already saved some money, woohoo well either go with 6800 or wait for 7800xt

[@doughjoe702]

Love the info you give, because of your videos and good information i realize i goofed on my ram upgrade i did recently and will be more mindful of that in the future. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Happy to share some learning with you! Thanks for supporting the channel!

[@alanb253]

Hi pc builder please could you do a video on setting up a nvidia gpu for gsync etc and what settings to use im struggling with my settings i run a 1080p 60hz monitor im not sure if to turn gsync on and vsync on or what i keep getting mixed messages i only play AAA games at 60fps i use a 3060 ti with a freesync monitor thanks

[@DarrellEarwood]

it seems that $219 for a b650 motherboard is getting close to x670 territory. I would like to see a better motherboard, otherwise excellent as usual. Every time I watch another boost my build episode it makes me want to build lol. I have an old hp pavillion HPE that could use a cpu upgrade. it has a 4 core, corei7 a960 cpu. the motherboard is a truckee. strange. it had 9 gigs of ram in it which i stuffed with 24GB. i replaced the old gtx730 GPU with an RX580. I dont know what else to do to it lol

[@puppydestroyah]

Always love these thank you!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Glad you like them!

[@AnthonyEvelyn]

Lets go Jason! Keep these PC Building Fails coming!👌

[@PCBuilderChannel]

For sure, glad you enjoyed this one! Thank you for watching BMB :)

[@sharkey9]

The MAG 650 is a great board. You could go with the ASUS TUF Gaming B650-Plus WIFI instead, which is kinda the same board with the same features. Depending which one is currently cheaper, you'll never go wrong with one of these. For the RAM you could go with the Z5 NEO version, again the same RAM just with Expo.

[@evilleader1991]

Why not Phantom spirit for cpu cooler?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Another great option! So many right now!

[@o0Silverwolf0o]

Not just teamgroup has rgb ram in that speed, I was debating between teamgroup and corsair ddr5 6000 cl30's, and went with corsair to tie in with my 4 other corsair rgb products and its superior software and customization.

[@SpoonHurler]

My build isn't boosted but my Friday is. Great video Jason.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you enjoyed it! BMB for the win! :D

[@StewartWild]

Doing Gods work!! You saved that $700 guy from a terrible buy.

[@MCGamer69420]

I love the boost my build series and I always wait for those videos every day. Hopefully you do mine soon(unless it doesn’t need boosting lol since I maxed out basically every component)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks so much, we're glad you enjoy the series! And thanks for watching!

[@schtinerbock4570]

For my first build I went with those stupid 2.5” drives as well to save a few bucks. Then realized they didn’t come with the cables to connect them. So there went the money i saved. Ticked me off so much I sent em back. M.2 is the only way to go.

[@JJFlores197]

Did your motherboard not come with any SATA cables? To my knowledge, they include at least 2 unless you bought a used board.

[@schtinerbock4570]

@@JJFlores197 negative. Its an Asus. If it should have it surely was missing them.

[@guandongmai3832]

What platform should I use to put all the interesting parts together, and be able to get hopes from you. I am about to build my PC in two months.

[@TakaChan569]

I keep recommending my friends builds i see here and help add touches to them, now i have my own and like always i'm completely unsure of my own parts lol. I think i have something worthwhile though...maybe lol.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Its hard when its your own! Im sure you got this (:

[@tanboii2015]

I love these videos so much. I'm planning on building a 2k PC myself

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you do, thanks for watching! Very exciting :)

[@kentooney5988]

Hey Jason, i ordered you Starfield 4K build (R5 7600, 7900xt) should i upgrade to 7700 or 7800x3d? money isnt really a factor.

[@JYinferno684]

As of now September 22 2023, on newegg there is a bundle with the 7900x that comes with 32gb of ram. Meaning you could upgrade the cpu without much loss.

[@MrSuperbrelts]

Hi Jason! Love your videos as always! I've been searching and searching and would like some advice for a possible upgrade to my current gaming rig. I occassionaly play AAA titles but far above all else I play WoW. I play at 1440p and feel the monitor prices for 4k gaming is still some ways from realistic. My build is a 12600k, MSI MAG B660 tomahawk Witherspoon a 10 GB 3080. NZXT C850 PSU and 64gb of ddr4 3600 ram. The build is 1,5 years old and I think I should probably have spent some more on a higher level motherboard, but I hardly think its worth the upgrade now? Do you think theres more performance in a CPU upgrade (maybe 13700 or 14700k?) Or possibly a higher tier AMD gpu?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

You've got a pretty solid current build so unless you are unhappy with your current performance I would stay put for now personally.

[@SauceMario]

This is a cool series. I feel glad that my sub $700 build came out real similar to this.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Happy you enjoyed it! And congrats on your build!

[@KrackenColdOnes]

Why did you shy away from the Montech X3 Mesh? I already bought mine but Im very early in my build.

[@kelley09162]

Nothing wrong with it, it's just that the Montech Air 903 has replaced it so it's hard to find in stock.

[@codykorzenowski6888]

A few days ago I made a parts list form my friends that might buy his first ever PC and I picked out very similar parts to this build except I went with a 12100f for the build and a ASRock $95 motherboard

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome! Glad you are helping out a friend!

[@HAL--ov4qu]

Be funny to see the cat talking and he says "and it will help this guy right here" as he puts a paw on your head. LOL! Hmm, too bad neither of us are special effects gurus. Because I would make it and you could use it for a Halloween episode 😅

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That would be hilarious! I'm sure the cat has plenty to say :)

[@jakubsikora5055]

Another great video, always waiting to see what are your solutions

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks so much! Happy to bring you a new BMB!

[@juzzy237]

The boost today were insane so much performance leap jeezzzz

[@TheOomiGang]

I'm so craving in making awesome 3d animations on animation platforms such like blender, maya and more. But, I also get bored every now and then and play games such as team fortress 2, overwatch, and more. My budget for this build is $2000 (Monitor Included) I made a PC with a 12600k and rx 6650 xt, but it was bottle necked because of the monitor

[@konstantinlozev2272]

Good advice for Rx 7800XT instead of Rx 6800XT. FSR3 is supposed to work better on it

[@itsatrap4986]

I think the B550 UD AC for $90 is better paired with the 5500 in the first build. Better at everything: 10+3 power phase, PCIE4 x 16, 2 x Nvme(1 gen4), WiFi, bios flashback

[@EmiDelta]

Question: how do you want us to submit pcpartpicker builds? KZbin always removes the link

[@kelley09162]

He has a Community Post every month asking for submissions. He'll have one again in October, but if you don't want to wait you can post yours in September's and I can take a look.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

What Ty said! To send in your list make sure you are publicly subscribed to the channel and keep an eye out for our community post. Next one will be in October. We also announce its time on twitter / threads @pcbuilderjason

[@jerryguizar7073]

Thanks for the tip on the + sign and Amazon.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Absolutely! Glad we could help! And thanks for your support!

[@ReichReview]

Both good builds after making the changes, however I am seeing a problem. You can upgrade the gpu yes but you cannot assume the person has a monitor that will work for 1440p or even 4K. I think that most people have 1080p monitors, I have a 7800 xt and cannot even play in 1440p because money went to gpu

[@JustCarnivorousCupcake]

Just stumbled across your channel and I love this video, very informative. I am looking to build my own pc some time in the future, but where can I submit such a list?

[@kelley09162]

He has a Community Post every month asking for submissions. He'll have another one sometime this month.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

So glad you found us! What Ty said. Keep an eye out for our community post where we will call for the lists. We also announce its time on twitter/threads @pcbuilderjason

[@ElFacheroFaires]

What a coincidence, that is a build that I could perfectly do, except that I would put a Ryzen 5 5600 because in addition to giving more performance, it will create less bottleneck
