WE MISS YOU MATT

Is he dead

No​@@realsamhyde

[@KempCanThrust]

Genuinely excited for these videos

[@normang.827]

Thanks Matt, always enjoy your videos!

[@patrickreekers4201]

Really enjoyed this build guide. Nice video Matt, you got a new sub :)

[@robertlucke4964]

Awesome build thanks for sharing

[@bs9two4]

the legend is back when we needed him most

[@VipRo1]

bro that build is crazy!😮😊

[@RenatoG1848]

You da man Matt, great video

[@dave4shmups]

Great PC build video Matt! Does that M.2 drive have a heatsink on it?

[@brentw8365]

Some nitpicking/points for improvement: - 32GB 5600 C46 for $80 is kinda meh, when 6000 C30/34 can be had for ~$90. I got 6000 C32 for $84 a few months ago. - SSD prices rocketed back up since November last year. I miss $35 1TB & $75 2TB deals. Next best thing now is Best Buy putting some SSDs on clearance sale for $15-40 ish. - This is Ryzen specific, but would've loved if you mentioned PBO w/ negative Curve Optimizer. Really helps with temps.

I'm from Dhaka Bangladesh. This content is Quality full and helpful informative. Keep it up

[@AstiLoyce]

I got the last gen version of this build, the Ryzen 5 5600x and the RX 6600, pretty solid build!

[@user-uh1rk6cn7x]

Does it still work and how is it with games for ex. RDR2,Cyberpunk and Helldivers 2,if I may ask,bc. I was thinking about making basically your build,but with 16gb ram...also what's your motherboard? Sorry for asking,but does it seem to be futureproof? Btw. thx in advance if you answer❤

[@AstiLoyce]

@@user-uh1rk6cn7x yeah it works great for those games, you might want to get a Peerless Assassin cooler for the CPU though because it can get hot with the stock one and thus its speed can go down You might need to tune the High preset in Cyberpunk to get stable 60 fps if you don’t want to use the FSR upscaling included in the preset, but it’s a good experience overall In Helldivers 2 i use the Medium preset at native 1080p and i run it locked to 60, with some rare drops to the 50s About the RAM, you might need to consider 32gb if you want to use Discord or a Web browser in the background while playing games, sometimes i’ve seen over 16gb usage with just a game + discord call open on Windows 10 And i’m running an A520M Asus motherboard, but it has no overclocking and it only has PCIe 3.0 on the GPU and M.2 slot, you might want to go for a B550 for better future-proofing If you can find the next gen parts for a similar price as the old gen parts i would suggest getting the newer stuff, but the old stuff still holds up decently!

[@Rigem.]

Great job! Does that case have a bottom filter for the power supply? If not, I would take it off the top and stick it to the bottom. That would free up airflow and protect the power supply from sucking up dust n dirt from the bottom..

[@anthonypra8899]

Toasty bros just used this case. It's a good looking case. And it comes in white that's cool 60 bucks. 60 bucks.

[@anthonypra8899]

Yes, great another video within a month. Great and an affordable build. Well, another affordable build

[@notyourbusiness1352]

I've been doing my own research for quite a few days now, and this is by far the BEST bang for the buck balanced $800 build. With almost every part the same, except the MB, RAM (32gb DDR4 3200mhz) and CPU (Ryzen 7 3800x), u can build an older AM4 platform, but it would only save u about $88 bucks or a more reasonable alternative of intel i5-13400f, obviously different MB with same DDR5 ram would save u $24 bucks but the deal breaker here is this Ryzen 5 will absolutely destroy the intel in gaming performance.

[@VishanRamnanan]

I WAS JUST RESEARCHING THESE PARTS, HOLY HECK! 😂🎉😊

[@asusame50]

Love your vids Matt, keep them coming! ❤

[@MrSamadolfo]

the 6650XT is sometimes the same price as a regular 6600

[@marioStortuga]

I'm sure I'm not the only one I have a ritual that I boot before I put the close up the case.

[@Pond6]

hey matt what camera do you use for videos?

[@MrSamadolfo]

😒👍 okinos aqua 3 amazon also has a taller ATX version as well

[@gaminglowspecs]

cool! ryzen 7600 and rx 7600

[@VipinKumar-so8yx]

I have a question. Is the Okinos Aqua 3 a Micro ATX, if it is does the Asrock b650m pg lightning wifi fit in because i know that is an ATX.

[@TonyTheGato]

Yes it's a Micro Atx so you will be able to fit the components into the atx case too

[@victoresarey4036]

i was told the lightning was a bad board...im getting a ryzen 5 7600

[@sheeshaled]

why is your valorant at 80-90 percent gpu usage.... i need your settings

[@Rigem.]

I'll never figure out why case manufacturers don't use common sense. and put the filter on the input If you're only gonna use one. where it would provide the most usability. Filtering dirt from getting sucked in instead of on the output where the only thing you're doing is restricting airflow. Seems like they're worried more about looks then functionality. If any, a large mesh pattern on top would look good with less restriction.

[@MM-ig1iv]

Would this run a 4070 super. If you upgraded just the power supply?

[@youtubeyoutube5913]

I don’t think so if you go the the specs it will tell you the chipset you need for a minimum like I was upgrading to the xfx 309 quick instead of the swift and I needed the ryzen 7600xt chip

[@itsatrap4986]

Yes.

[@aliariff]

can you try mortal kombat 1

[@kingquan3144]

Hey Matt,I need a pre built pc that I can game on and make KZbin video. I want to have it for a decent amount of time can you tell me a good pre build around 800$

[@itsatrap4986]

Replicate the build but with some minor tweaks. 6000 CL30. 1TB NVME, A or B tier PSU

[@37_lulu]

@@itsatrap4986is there any other PSU you recommend? because it takes 6-7 months shipping for me

[@CerusTrades]

how do i install windows and drivers for free?

[@stoner63x45]

Because you can get something like a RX 6750 XT and a ryzen 7 5700 x

[@danebeee1]

Not a bad build but I probably would have went am4 with a 5600 and at least a 6750xt for a $800 budget but this isn’t that bad of value.

[@kildrei9733]

does am5 still have a lot of issues?

[@stoner63x45]

If you want to go with am4 you're going to get more performance

[@itsatrap4986]

A $130 7500f and 6750XT for $300 would be the better pairing.

[@AziqAkiq]

@@itsatrap4986hey If you don’t mind can you make me a build that can handle AAA games with high fps my budget is 800 thanks!

[@Gubblesoup]

Can I get a cpu cooler with led?

[@TonyTheGato]

yes just search on google RGB Cpu Cooler and check that its compatible with the CPU that you are using

Why are you getting so low fps, for example in fortnite other youtubers are getting around 110 in epic dx12 setting and in high your barely passing 70fps ??

[@RohanSingh-ng6zc]

Those fortnite benchmarks are totally wrong , with this build in pro settings u should get 200+ fps all the damn time😅

[@Fizzi-gf2og]

First 😎

[@scy4205]

i feel like you dont have the ability to get a 7600 (am5) with this budget without just cheaping out on different components too much. Which was the case, because you got the worst possible last gen gpu on the market, if you went for 5600 which sure is am4, you can get a 7700xt which is just a perfect 1440p gpu instead of getting 1080p (not to forget u only got a 500gb ssd). Now there's other stuff i really dont like such as the really weak b650 motherboard u got with a really bad vram, One of the worst things u got was the EVGA 500 BV PSU which is a terrible psu that gets a AVOID rating on the psu tierlist. Im not here to hate on your build or anything but, the fact you say "best 800$ gaming pc in 2024" is absolute bs, You are putting too much money on "Future proofing" and in result of that you are A lot of performance on the table just because you want "solid and high quality items" Which isnt even true for half the things!, you got a 500gb ssd, cheap motherboard with bad VRMS, A TERRIBLY rated psu all so u can upgrade to a new cpu later without changing the motherboard or RAM? Not to mention you got bad timings on your 32gb ram which is overkill for this budget.

I’m not gonna lie to you, this build sucks. The value is horrible and I’ve seen prebuilt a priced better.

[@cubekey2019]

For the same price I got a 5600 and rx 6800 combo

[@danebeee1]

@@cubekey2019lol damn you I just commented this. I said at least a 6750xt and a 5600 am4 build would destroy this for the value. Also that ram is terrible for the price for a few dollars more you can get cl32 6000mhz. But yeah the gpu should be around half the price of the budget when you are dealing with the types of budgets. The 6800 for $400 and the other $400 ob the rest of the parts is easily doable. Good call.
