bought 10 pro and didn't work at all.

[@SpoonHurler]

So, for the data hoarder. Spend like 150-200 bucks on a good, efficient old office pc (can be bought on ebay or amazon or local resellers/ marketplaces) with enough room for a couple of big spinning rust drives and a few m.2. I did this with an HP Elitedesk 800 G4 that has an i7-8700, 32gb of ram and spent $380 on two refurbed 18tb HDDs and $160 on a 4tb sata ssd. So I can have that always on and it uses a lot less power.

[@michaeloneill1360]

Hi Jason, You still haven't answered my 'Previous Questions' re: My 'Planned Upgrades/Swaps! That's OK, because now there's a Part 3! Starting with 'Gaming PC #1': B450 Gigabyte AORUS Elite V.2/w a Ryzen 5 5600X, this Upgrade is approx. 3/4 Complete. 1st: I upgraded the PSU to a Gigabyte 750 Watt model. Next I upgraded the Ram from 16 Gigs to 32 Gigs. Then, I upgraded the GPU from an AMD RX6600XT to an AMD RX7600XT(Probably a Bad Choice Here) Should've held out for an RX7800XT?? The Last Phase of this Upgrade will be to Upgrade the CPU from the Ryzen 5 5600X to a Ryzen 7 5700X 3D. Onto 'Gaming PC #2' MSI B550 Gaming Gen 3 Motherboard/w a Ryzen 5 5600 32 Gigs of Ram & an AMD RX6600. The Plan here is to Replace both the CPU & GPU with the 'Old Parts' from Gaming PC #1: Ryzen 5600 upgraded to Ryzen 5600X & RX6600 upgraded to an RX6600XT. (Can I expect even a little performance boost with these changes?) Current PSU is only 550 Watts, so I'll have to Upgrade to a 750 Watt Minimum before the next GPU Upgrade. And Finally onto Part 3. 'Multimedia PC' B450 ASUS Prime B450M-A II/w 16 Gigs of DDR4 Ram & an AMD Ryzen 5600G, I'm going to Replace that CPU with the Ryzen 5 5600 from 'Gaming PC' #2. The GPU in this PC is an ASUS RXT 2060 Super, I think? But It's just fine for listening to Music & Watch Blu Ray Movies on my 40" TV/Monitor. Sorry, about the Length of this.

[@pascaldifolco4611]

My PC is working too well .. 5900X/32GB RAM/7900XTX, Ultrawide 1440p, everything plays well, that prevents me from upgrading ! Will wait for the 9800X3D and the 5090 I think :)

I was the same. Of course I started out with a kit build from the local shop. This was a 486/DX2. By the time of the very first GeForce I had a clue. IIRC the first consumer card with FPU in it, had an early pixel shader and even had S3TC.

God damn it Jason, since the first time I saw your video that talk about CPU/GPU combo advice? and I became addicted to this channel. Also, because of you, it was the first time to know about the RAM and the CL with the speeds and "ns". I figured out that I made a couple of mistakes, my CPU is i7 13th kf, and the MB is B760 which doesn't support to OC the CPU. Also my RAMs is just what mentioned in this video, I have 16 GB 5200 Mhz CL 40 (Vengence manufacturer). Please, keep up the mastery work, I like your way of talking, presenting and your enthusiasm, you just a whole package in the world of technology, thank you Jason.

Pretty sure the PSU is a 650 80+ Corsair (cant be bothered to open it to find out). Basically a rock solid mid unit - very happy with it, for the cost. It also has 72TB external drives. 32" 4k monitor, 22" touchscreen monitor, 22" 1080p monitor. In fairness, I usually only use the 32" - the others are off - but available if I want them. I know - my little system is basically crap compared to your daily build - but for me - 5600X, 32GB DDR4, RX 6650 XT, 2TB Nvme..... colour me a very happy bunny! The B450 mobo - yeah - that probably needs updating - but its holding its own for now....

Thank you for your amazing channel for giving me the knowledge I needed to build my very first PC, I have such admiration for all that you do my friend ❤️

[@MistaCx]

Hi Jason thanks for the videos on the boost my build series been a fan of the series for a long time and figured you should know this. I'm also gonna throw in a question as you are way more experienced than me. I recently upgraded my PC about 6 months ago and currently have a ryzen 5 5600x, RTX 4070. The ryzen 5 5600x I've had for a long time and I can easily tell I'm getting bottlenecked in alot of games. Now I know I have to buy a new motherboard if I'm gonna go for a new CPU seeing as it looks like the ryzen 7 series looks to be the better fit for the regular 4070. Jason do you know what I should pickup for best price per performance for my GPU as I really don't want to overspend. Once again thank you very much! :)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

The 5600X starts to hit a wall around the RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT (will hit a wall earlier with NVIDIA GPUs due to the extra driver overhead). A 5700X3D would fix that completely (or 5800X3D). Drop in upgrade, keep your mobo and RAM (as long as the ram is 3200 CL16 or faster).

[@kelley09162]

What Jason said. All you need to do a upgrade your CPU to the 5700X3D.

[@l.i.archer5379]

Hey Jason, I've got a question for you - Who makes a 32" gaming monitor with a DisplayPort 2.0 connection? Since I've upgraded to the Arc A770 16GB card with that option, I cannot, for the life of me, find one at MicroCenter, Newegg, or Amazon.

I've been using the 13600kf in my mid tier budget builds, and have one in my current backup PC. For the price/performance it's really hard to beat and it's an excellent chip if you don't mind a little extra power draw. It'll push any GPU on the market too.

[@Mopantsu]

I have a feeling that all that storage he added was not for production work. Arrr me hearties!

[@LucasMartinuzzo]

Hey, thanks for the video. In the 2k build (13minutes) you have selected an 850 W PSU. In the 1440P Gaming is Cheap video from 4 weeks ago, you have suggested an 1,5k build with an RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU as the Nvidia alternative. In that build you have suggested an 650 W PSU. The main difference that i see in those two builds are the Ryzen 7 7800x3d vs Ryzen 5 7600X. The CPU is the main reason of the adicional 250W or am I missing something? The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to build a PC with RTX 4070 Ti Super with the Ryzen 5 7600X (or 7600). Right now i'm inclined to buy a 750W PSU, but i'm still not sure. Could you please help me with that? Thanks a lot

[@kelley09162]

So you need to put your build into PC Part Picker and times the watts by 1.5 to see what watt PSU you need. Yes the 7800X3D uses more power vs the 7600X. Also note that AMD GPUs also use more power vs Nvidia and Intel CPUs use more power vs AMD.

[@raguramramamoorthy]

Hi Jason. Ragu here from Uk. Big fan of your videos. I’m looking to build my first gaming pc for my son. I’ve chosen the 7800x3d and 7900gre. I’m torn between msi mag b650 tomahawk WiFi and ASU’s strip b650 E-F. Any advice on which one to go for. Much appreciated. The ASU’s is £20 more

Info for GPU recommendations, I use a Ryzen 7 3700x and a Corsair CX750

[@garyhome7101]

I finally got the 4070 ti super 16 gb (Zotac white), paired with my i7 12700 cpu running on an MSI 690 WIFI board, and have had great performance through all of my games - mostly first person shooters like COD and Battlefield. All settings run on ultra, and my monitor is an ultra wide 49 inch Samsung C49RG90. Frame rates average in the 140 fps and often topping 200 on certain scenes. Cinematics go way hi in fps, but I think those are likely running at 1080p or less. The GPU runs at about 70 c when in-game, and remains steady between 65 & 70 c throughout hours of play, so it handles heat saturation well. I upgraded from a 3070 ti oc at 8 gb - which could never handle more intense games at ultra settings due to the limited memory capacity. The upgrade to the 16 gb 4070 super cost about $100 more than the 3070 I was stuck buying a year ago, but coming from that experience I'm absolutely satisfied!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing

I was never fond of integrated wifi in the motherboard. Just plonk on an M.2 slot for it. I kept my i7-2600 for a long time and wanted new wifi, the thing was integrated and I epoxyd the receiver (that Intel B3 skull whatever board) to the oian li so was not removable.

Hey Jason, what is your motherboard recommendation for (7800x3d and RTX 4090)?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Check out our 7800X3D build guide! We go over some great options there

[@benjohnson5571]

I COMPLETELY disagree with you on the point that 32GB is enough, I have 32GB and all the time I will hit the software usage limit with having things still open in the background or on one of my other monitors while gaming. In a Godzilla build you should Absolutely have 64+ GB of RAM

[@AzenHawke1995]

Jason out here saving lives and money. And he does it for free. Marvelous.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

We try! (; Thanks for watching!

[@kmass77]

Some of these builds should use the ASUS 7800 xt oc 16gb card which was selling for $500 and competes with the 4070 to save money. Using this card would have saved this guy $340+tax and the performance difference would have been negligible.

[@1amhsn]

Hi Jason, love your videos. Question: I'm an undergrad software developer/programmer student, looking for a beginner build for my kind of work. So i was thinking about these two processors i3 12th 12100 and i5 12th 12400. Now there come in "f" variants as well. But I'm confused as to which one i should actually pick? Will the integrated gpu that comes in non "f" variant be enough for me? Or should i go with the "f" variant and get a gpu with it? Also feel free to recommend me any other processor that might be a better option that are similar to those processors. Thank you, i appreciate it.

[@kelley09162]

You'd be better off with a GPU. What's your budget for this build?

[@1amhsn]

around $600

[@kelley09162]

​​​@@1amhsn here's a build for you if you can go over budget. It's list / pXnVXk in PC Part Picker

[@PCBuilderChannel]

You definitely want a GPU for this kind of build. Hop over to our latest “Best Builds March” video. We have a sample $640 build there that would be great for you. Or if you really want 12100 we have a build guide for that on the channel too.

[@lucasgonzalez7251]

Love your videos! I had a gtx1080 and recently replaced it with an RX6900XT for $400. I think I need to upgrade everything else. My COU is a ryzen 7 2700X. I’m assuming that is bottlenecking the GPU.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks! Yes the 2700X is a massive bottleneck for you. The 5700X3D would be a massive drop in upgrade, and the 5800X3D is slightly better.

[@lucasgonzalez7251]

Thank you! The other issue is that the PSU is 550 so I probably will have to upgrade that as well.

[@iDarksideGG]

Did anyone else realize that the $4500 build had a 13900-k and a 4090 with a 60hz monitor......

[@jasonhenninger8220]

Currently, Amazon has the SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB for $140

[@Bingfast]

I’ll be honest, I did the same thing with the weak gpu thing on my $2400 pc build lol, but I really didn’t want to upgrade to a 4070 ti super for 200 dollars extra for basically going from a 4070 ti to 4070 ti super. I’d rather get the cheaper gpu and save for next gen because it’s pretty dumb how that is 200 dollars more for a ti upgrade basically because the 4070 super is about the same performance as 4070 ti

[@starwarswars7299]

Mine was a 4070 ti super and 14700k pc which costed if I remember the price was 1740$. Hope that was a good deal

[@keemdro]

Hey Jason, I have a Ryzen 7 5800x with a Corsair RM750x I want to get a new GPU. Thinking of the 4070super or ti super, can I plug and play that or should I consider upgrading the PSU and CPU? Thanks!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

That CPU will bottleneck those GPUs so depending on your current system I might consider dropping in a 5700X3D first. See our Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024 video for more

[@shoobadoo123]

First build can easily fit a 4080super. Just cut back on the cpu cooler, mobo, and of course just buy a windows key instead of paying $100

[@michaelnager6059]

You could still have gotten the Arctic Liquid Freezer III A-RGB in white for under $100 for the build and saved about $70 more - and gotten a fantastic cooler

[@aashishbadami95]

Could you suggest a maybe cheaper version of the all white 4070ti super build around a similar or slightly less budget?

[@kelley09162]

Do you still want the build white and are you looking at the 4070 Ti Super?

[@C0nnie]

I have a 14700k paired with a Liquid Freezer III 240 and it stays super cool, for anyone thinking about that combo. Now what gpu….

[@FieryMeltman]

For the second build, why the H9 Flow instead of the H6 Flow? Both have similar performance and looks, but the H6 Flow is cheaper.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Could certainly do that as well. They seemed like they wanted something super premium so I went H9.

[@ThomasPaine01]

Great video!

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Thanks Thomas!! Hope you are having a great weekend!

[@user-xn7hw7we8g]

Jason, for 2000 dollar gaming PC builds at 4k I think you should be trying to get people a 7900xtx or a 4080 super (if the 4080 super is between 999 and 1030).Becuase 4k needs less of a CPU load, you can get away with something like a 7600x, 7700, or 14400f at that resolution. I have a 7600x and 7900xtx for 4k gaming and it works well. I assembled that pc for 1,970 dollars with the 100 dolllar windows license, so just a little tip for you (if you feel like you need a tip)

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Solid option! I was sticking to higher core counts due to what the builder said they wanted it for but especially for a pure gaming build that’s a valid option too

[@vatterg2453]

Hey i want to use lian li infinity fans on the kraken 360 elite. Im wondering if this combo works since ive only seen tutorials that use the kraken 360 elite RGB. But since i will be switching the fans anyway i thought i could safe some money just buying the normal kraken 360 elite. Does anyone know if this works?

[@crazyeyecarl]

My build is so out of wack. I bought the 7800x3D when it came out intending to build then, but life happened so some parts are way more expensive than they are now. Luckily motherboards, and GPU's have gone down, and that's pretty much all I had left. Still could have saved about $200, but it is what it is.

[@PCBuilderChannel]

Good news is with the 7800X3D, most of the midrange and even budget B650 motherboards are totally fine! Hope the build came out ok!

@PCBuilderChannel : In my opinion you can't have "to much" storage-space in your PC. 😁 I use 10TB as NVMe and 62TB as HDD in my PC. Only in the last view days I added round about 3TB data on my PC. You know the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG OC based on a different PCB? Its based on a modded 3090 PCB and use the 3090 cooler. Thats why it is maybe the smallest 4090 on the market. 326mm length against 348mm of the original ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC.

But maybe I'm waiting for the 5090 or buy than a cheaper used 4090)

[@rangersmith4652]

You absolutely can build a fully operational PC w/o a case. It is arguably the least essential component. Every time I do a new build, I first build it outside the case and do all the testing. Then I reassemble it inside the case. I once ran my main gaming PC with all the parts laid out on a big sheet of cardboard for several months waiting for a good price on the case I wanted. No doubt thousands of PC builders have done this. Might not be the best plan if you have children or cats in your home.

On that first build you might even be able to squeeze in a 4090 at 2200$. Yes it sounds crazy but with an r5 5600x don't lose many, if at all any, frames at 4k. It's pretty much always a gpu bottleneck. Some good ram (32gb 4400mhz cl19) and you have a really good system for 4k gaming. Made the build, math checks out.

[@genasgenas]

I will buy 4060. Should be fine for gaming. I guess If want to play with good graphics I need 4070. But if I add a bit more I could get better performance with 4070 Super. But damn... Look at those Vram.. its not gonna be enough 12GB. I will go for 4070ti Super. Man... If im planning to spend that much money on Gpu so why not to go for a proper one 4080Super. Hmm.... Best Gpu right there, We live once after all. 4090 here I come. Guys dont forget, they are milking us. 😉

Reset BIOS on MSI Mag B650 and the BIOS button broke out. Found it in the bottom of the case.

[@CalgarGTX]

While I agree noctua asks a lot for the metal on their CPU coolers, one thing I (re)discovered recently is how superior (or inferior in that case?) the noise profile of their fans is compared to most other things on the market. And this isn't about decibels so very hard to judge from a review. I got a case with fans for my current build that every review about it said were decent fans but for me they just made my ears bleed even at 10% speed. Swapped them for noctuas and I can run them at 1250rpm (low speed version of the NF-A12x25) put my ear next to them, and I can't hear them at all.

My best friend is a 3D animator and his PC has 64 GB of RAM in it. Big difference in rendering from 32GB. One of his co-workers actually has 128 GB of RAM in their build. From my experience, Seagate hard drives are stupid slow and tend to fail a lot. I'm hoping to finish my upgrade today. Ordered a 7800XT and should be in today. I considered the 7900 GRE, but since I'm up against a 5800X3D, I'd be hitting that wall in terms of performance.

Oh yes if this was actually for a professional production build I’d be making a bunch of different recommendations for sure. Hope your PC comes together great! Keep us posted
