Hi jason, i was looking back thru your cooler best cooler videos. which would you suggest between (cheapest to most expensive, may use on a ryzen 5700x, 5800x3d or intel 12600, depending on sales) Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE Amazon Basics Computer Cooling Fan or the ID-COOLING SE-224-XTS (27 euro) or wait for black friday sales. thank you very much

@@prefaps100%. I wish I still had mine. I don’t think it was worth the platform upgrade in my opinion. I didn’t gain that much more fps jumping to 7800x3d and the 5800x3d was much easier to cool. But going from 6 cores to 8 will be a nice improvement.

[@Mitchasauraus]

@matthewzavala6491 I haven't built yet, however I've made better choices on the parts I have collected so far than I think would have without all of the videos I've watched here. As far as I can see the toughest part is installing the cpu into the motherboard at least that is the part that's making me the most nervous! 🤣😂

Most important thing is: Be patient. Take a lot of time to read the instructions. Better do it slow than fast. And don t panic if it doesnt work. @@matthewzavala6491

Not sure where you are at, but if you have a Microcenter not far from you. I would seriously go looking there. Plenty of combo savings one could have. Usually buying motherboard with CPU will snag you 25 dollar minimum off, sometimes it goes up 50. All depends on combo itself.

Love this series. Honestly thinking about what we need next as a household, maybe a 4K monitor once they go on sale. Or I could just crank up the text zoom for my elderly mother, think she will still need cataract surgery regardless. I'm good with my gaming and media pcs. I love my 7900XTX but it's likely overkill, a lot of people could probably go 7800XT (now that they exist).

[@PLAYER_42069]

Another informative and fun video, Jason! It's that time of year where the deals and sales (Black Friday; Cyber Monday) are coming fast and furious e.g. Prime Day. So, if you're itching to upgrade, or do a full build... Now is the time to do it. I snagged a 6800XT last year for $530 + a MSI 850W Modular PSU for $140. Yes, prices have come down a lot on both of those, but that's my point. At the time, those were very good prices coming off the GPU Apocalypse/Crypto crash, and Cyber Monday, only made it better. Keep up the fantastic work, and give Mr. Bear some scritches for me!

For the second build, I went for an upgrade on my 5820k. My budget was around 3000 euro. I went for an oc 7900xtx (nitro+) at 1210 euro (more expensive in Romania)) + 7800x3d (430 euro) + asrock x670e steel legionn for 345 euro + 32 kit corsair 6000 cl 30 RGB ram for 155 euro (I am considering to return the kit as the RGB in the software has a bad time syncing with the rest of the build and go for a g.skill of 64gb kit for around 240 euro same 6000 cl30 kit (timings are not as good as the 30cl corsair, but still deciding on that)) and went with the nitro+ 360 water cooler for 110 euro. The 280 could have been a great choice, but I wanted an overkill mb and cooler to upgrade in the future to a more power hungry top of the line 7950x3d or something similar to do editing work. I do gaming now. The rest of the budget went for an Alienware AW3423DMF for 870 euro. I could have got an XTX taichi for 100 euro less and go for a cheaper mb in the 220-230 euro range and maybe get the 7950x3d instead. I tried a cheaper 2k monitor, but having a OLED high refresh 2k ultrawide display was a great buy. I used my old NZXT 450 noctis case (would have loved an RGBB model like the asus) or to upgrade the case to a Fractal - the one with front wood trim - I may do it in the future for better airflow. The PSU is my old trusty RMi1000W Corsair. Not the best, but not the worst PSU. Other than some coil whine from the 7900 XTX Nitro+ and the RGB sync problem (fixed with using signalRGB software which doesn't sync with Razer...), I am pretty pleased with the performance in gaming. When I did the 5820k 980ti build back in the 2016 I optimize the cost as good as I could, but went for a very weird looking setup with multiple colors (blue mb, black/red accent case, white videocard just to get the cheapest build) and I learned for that to try and match the colors a bit more. Also, went for a more expensive mb due to better connectivity (more ssd storage options) and for a better audio with the nihmic realtek 1220 on the asrock. Also, I've been pleased with the Asrock X99 Extreme4.

[@sSteppingStones]

19:18 DONT!!! the fan is really loud on them and it comes on during idle unlike the RMX lineup. The RMe is a cheaper build quality PSU that still costs a lot! I made the mistake of buying an rm 850e and returned it and had to pay $50 more for an rm850x. but it was worth it. my PC is now quiet at idle instead of sounding like an engine starting every 2-3 minuets

[@invisiiso]

Heya! Love your videos *and* the cat, they're very informative. I'm going to a college here in the Philippines soon, and am planning to build a decent desktop PC which I hope to even remote access using a cheap laptop. My budget is about 60K Php, which is usually about 1050 USD. I'm hoping to also get two monitors and a quality mechanical keyboard to match up with my current mouse. With plans to be either a game development or computer engineering student I hope to be prepared for whatever I might need to do within the next 4-5 years. I've extracted a number of old parts from my previous HP Envy desktop from 2014. I'd prefer with, but don't mind using a motherboard without WiFi because I have a spare ASUS WiFi card from my old desktop. I even have two extra Foxconn fans, one 80mm and the other 120mm, not to mention a pretty sweet optic drive (probably not needed, but I like being prepared for whatever may happen.) Prices here may be different from prices in the US. I can get a three-pack of those Arctic P12s for only 18 USD from Lazada. On the contrary, the Ryzen 5600 is a little more expensive here, coming at 134.53 USD. Feel free to ignore these differences. I really can't decide between an Arc A750 and the cheaper (and less power-hungry) RX 6600. There's a big chance I'm getting more than I actually need for some parts, and I feel like I didn't make the best choice on others. I still haven't found a good minimalist case that perfectly fits this build. Please help! pcpartpicker.com/user/Invisiso/saved/#view=wdXxf7

How does everyone know English so well as a second language? I can’t learn Spanish for shit lol Anyways Id go with the 6600 over the 750 bc I play a lot of older games but if you don’t the 750 makes sense

I used to watch Nick Jr a lot so I was exposed to stuff like Bubble Guppies, Team Umizoomi, as well as Dora the Explorer (so I know abysmally little Spanish. lol.)

Corsair 1100 watt Air cooled besides cpu with cooler master closed loop. Thats it for me this season. Yes...powerfully late.. with a very minor upgrade path.. the next step is a jump to am5..but maybe...ill just wait..amd is cookin stuff..so is nvidia intel and everyone else..wish i had a crystal ball.

I'd say that honestly makes it a worthwhile cheaper choice over the 7800x3d right now. I would've got the nice asrock b650 board thats selling for 125 but it didn't include a combo deal so rip.

I'm building a new PC choosing the 78003dx and happy with components ,but lost on the video card. I'm not sure a 4080 or the soon to be out 4080 Super will be enough. Anything much over 144Hz will be a waste,but my need the 4090 to accomplish it. How do you calculate what I need? It may be more or less. Any input?

That $950 build will help me a lot if I end up having to build my little cousin a pc after I finish mine lol.

[@kenneth6102]

It's amazing that a 7800X3D and a 7900XTX combo going at 2K bucks. If ray-tracing is a deal breaker, is the RTX4080 great on 4K max settings or the only playable RT option is the insanely expensive RTX4090? Even Minecraft looks night and day with and without RT turned on.

[@bizbarley74]

I had a similar dilemma when building a PC for my friends 10 year old. However, I had them spend about an extra $200 on a more expensive motherboard for DDR5 RAM combined with an i5 12600 and RX 6700 XT. Also went with a Corsair 750w modular PSU. My logic was future upgradability. His father had said he wanted the PC to last and have plenty of upgrade room, saying he planned to bump up both CPU and GPU over the next year or two. Therefore, DDR5 current gen made sense to me. The motherboard is always the last thing I want to mess with.

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Not a horrible idea but I'd rather save the $200 for later. Upgrading in the future usually doesn't make sense. In 3 years, you'll be able to buy parts so much faster than the "future proof" build. Get a good PSU and case and you'll be all set for a new build.

[@bizbarley74]

@@aguyandhiscomputer Im not following your logic. Upgrading doesn't make sense? I build PCs for a living, so that's an odd statement, maybe I just misunderstood you. Either way, everything worked out and everyone is very happy. Have a safe and happy holiday season. Cheers

[@christinaedwards5084]

@@bizbarley74I agree with a guy and his computer. After 5 years a gaming pc goes in the bin. You can get 10years from a psu and a case. Upgrades seem pointless when you can just start again with something better to last another 5 years.

[@bizbarley74]

@@christinaedwards5084 I think we are talking about 2 different things. I'm talking about upgrading after a year or 2, not 5 or 6. He asked for a good motherboard that had decent features so he did not have to rebuild the entire PC. Currently he has one of the best motherboards for the price point that supports the latest technology. In a year he plans to bump up the GPU a tier or 2, and possibly the CPU. The PSU is fully modular and can be easily swapped out without having to take everything apart. It's definitely the way to go for his specific requests and this system will last for several years. Of course in time it will need to be replaced, but this will give him maximum longevity, it's definitely better than buying a last gen DDR4 mobo, I feel like we are not speaking the same language or something. Did I mention this is for a 10 year old?

[@christinaedwards5084]

@@bizbarley74 I just think refreshes or upgrades is kinda pointless. Buying new components every couple years costs the same as buy a higher end to last 5. Upgrading so frequently is also not enough of a gap to see and feel a noticeable difference from newer hardware. It’s like opening a can of worms, so you change the cpu, then find the rams not up to snuff so you buy that, probably need a new mobo for the new ram or the sockets changed for the cpu. Might as well just build a new system by that point. Component Upgrades are just uneconomical. End of the day It’s your money, you spend it how you like. I just think it’s more sensible to do it my way. Where you gonna go from a 12600? A 12900? Intel are a bugger for changing sockets. We’ll have 16th gen by then. A 12900 would seem like an antique.

Hello, first time PC builder here. I just wanted to check if this build would perform well for it's price ($2200 NZD). Also, what GPU would you recommend for 1440p 144hz gaming and Blender rendering? Specs: CPU - Ryzen 7 7700X Mobo - Asrock PG Riptide Wifi CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D15s RAM - Kingston Fury Beast 6000 DDR5 Storage - Samsung 980 Pro 2TB Video Card - Undecided (Rx 6600 Placeholder) PSU - be quiet Straight Power 11 Gold 850w Case - ASUS Prime AP201

I'd personally bump up the 5600 from the first build to a 5600X, which is also really strongly on sale right now for around $160. Definitely in their budget, but idk if it's worth the extra 20 dollars.

Hi Jason! What do you think about making a PC build with an RX 5700 XT either used or new for 1080p overkill or decent 1440p performance? I saw it's around 150 USD and it is relative to the RX 6600. Do you think you could make a budget 400-500 USD build with that?

Another great video as always. Building my first desktop in a looooong time... And would love your opinion. Between a 7700xt at 465 euro or a 7800xt at 570 euro what would you chose to pair with a ryzen 5 7600?

[@MrGrandanoke]

hello Jason, i would like to ask if there is any case at all where you would choose nvidia cards over radeon , cause the way am seeing you will always go with radeon as performance /moneywise is a better option?doesn t perform better an nvidia card with DLSS/DLAA 3 nowdays?

[@PCBuilderChannel]

I go Nvidia when the build goal is production based and the builder is going to use programs that are more optimized with Nvidia, Adobe Premier for instance. See our Best GPU for Gaming 2023 for lots more on this

[@jaykim7198]

Jason, for the 2k build at the end of the video. Do you think the liquid cooler is needed or can you just stick with an air cooler? I'm not a huge fan of watercoolers.

[@kelley09162]

You can stick with an Air Cooler. The Thermalright Phantom Spirit is a good price to performance Air Cooler.

Air cooler would be fine! What Ty said. The Thermalright Peerless Assassin is also a good choice.

[@Djent_Lover]

7700x is a hot mess without proper undervolt and a decent aio, It will ping off that 100c thermal limit. The liquid freezer runs a thicker rad then most and is why it tops the charts. I recently got the EK 240 dark aio with the new loop fans and it performs up with the artic. The 7700 is much cooler running and the 7800x3d runs the coolest of all the 7000 series.

[@jens0_064]

You're talking facts, I have a 7700x with a 240m aio, I have eco enabled, so it stays under 70 degrees all the time, besides I play minecraft, when I create a world, the processor literally goes up to 80 degrees with 10% load. I am thinking about getting an 420m artic. :D

[@Djent_Lover]

@@jens0_064 I jumped on am5 with the 7600 and even with the box cooler until I got the EK 240, it was hitting 80-90c in PoE. I watched a bunch of reviews and iam happy with the EK dark, with Thermal Grizzly kryo and a cpu guard I dropped over 20c. I would of loved a 7700x or the 7800x3d but I don't really need it. Maybe next gen I'll grab that sweet x3d chip

[@-Burb]

Yeah the 7000 series CPUs have an almost 4mm thick heat spreader which is way too thick to transfer heat well. I love my 7700X but out of the box it got crazy hot even with an Arctic liquid freezer II 240mm. They’re designed to run at 95C because of this, but that makes my computer fans insanely loud since they’re at 100% at that temperature, so I limited it to 115W rather than the 150+ it was pulling out of the box and did some PBO tuning. Now it runs almost 10% faster(cinebench 18k->20k) and way cooler.

A 850w for that second build would still work, 1000w seems a bit overkill 😅

Hey Jason, thank you for putting together this great content! I haven’t build a pc for the last 10 years so I am thinking of buying a lot of parts this Black Friday and building an entire 1440p gaming build from scratch. Do you think I should go with 7800 xt and wait to see the possible next year gpus to upgrade, or should I go with rx 7900 xt? I am from EU so prices here are insane. I have the option to buy the gpu+cpu from US for a much lower price if you think that xtx would be the way to go. Thanks in advance!

What power supply we must have for 8tb ssd 20tb hdd seagate exo nvidia 4090 and intel 14900kf with 96gb ddr5 6.4ghz? Does it worth upgrading the ram to 96gb 8.0ghz cl30 when it comes out? Can we even gain the benefit of those 8.0ghz with that setup or we risk system instability and probably we should stay with what we have originally as planned? Im planning to buy a real monster and probably I will buy a pc when 15900kf and nvidia 5090 ti are released for buying, I have no trust in nvidia fixing the power connector issues on 4090, so im completely scrapping this video card from my plans. Intel claims to have stronger processors and more stability, im planning to test that, im in no way planning to leave it with default clocks, I wanna juice that system real hard. If im paying 7000$ it better be stable, my only consideration is what psu to put on that thing, im unaware how much more power I will need with that seagate exo 20tb, 8tb ssd, cpu, gpu and 96gb ddr5 6.4 ghz (im not sure in that I will wait the 8.0 ghz cl30 version ram kit, im not even sure in that do I want such a powerful ram kit). I have never dealt with such a power hungry monster before, I wanna be prepared before buying anything, im very unsure how the 1600w corsair psu will handle the system.

Hey Jason is there a site that buys back used and or unopened pc components like; GPUs, Coolers, and Ram? Not sites like ebay or craigslist. Thx!

[@POTEKDL]

So I haven’t seen any videos out there tbh of builds regardless of price that fill a set requirement, for example a build that (not always on every single game) will give 1080p 60 fps on a majority of games, or a build on 1440p gives consistent 120/144 fps on majority of games. I understand being on a budget is what’s on everyone’s mind but I feel like people don’t pay attention to what resolution and hz they need to fill and end up over spending like 1500$ for a pc build when they have a 1080p 120hz monitor which a 1000$ build can probably suffice, same goes for underspending if they have a 1440p monitor 120hz but then get a pc build that is around 60 fps on most games it feels like you aren’t getting 100% of what you paid for. So it would be nice for a future video if we slightly ignore the current pricings of builds that will work around all monitor limits.((1080p, 60,120,240hz),(1440p,60,120,144/165hz),(2160p,60,120hz)). I know it would be twice as long and even more tedious but having 2 pcs per monitor resolution and hz, 1 for possible upgrade paths and 1 for no upgrades in the future, since most people will just build entirely new pc’s and sell off their old one instead of listing individual parts for sale. It will be a long video for sure 😂, but a very informational video that will save people money, love your videos they always help me with informing my friends on what to get and stuff and keep it up brother! ❤
