They’ll NEVER Forgive Us - Gaming PC Build Challenge

[@Thrashifice]

So great to see Jay bringing his 6 year old son to Micro Center to create a father-son set up. The shots of Austin standing 6 feet in front of Jay aren't fooling anyone. Great video, guys.

[@mashningshen5284]

Lol, I was just about to mention something similar. Jay looks like a disappointed dad.

[@ferdgerbeler8494]

I'm just thrilled Austin got rid of his speech impediment, his content was always good, just couldn't stand to listen to him... good work man..

i built a "mid-range" PC back in 2018 for $600, to hear $1,500 and "mid-range" in the same sentence sent shivers down my spine. I'll still let my old guy kick around for another half decade

It's the GPUs. The market never really recovered from the price scalping of the RTX3000 series. Intel and Nvidia went "Wow! People will pay double the MSRP? We've been charging too low!"

[@thelbtlover]

@@Xorthis Gamers need to stand up and say enough is enough. Paying any more than $150 for a graphics card is ridiculous.

no gaming tests is disappointing!! you're literally buying a mid-range GAMING PC & the 7600x3d is the 2nd best gaming cpu out right now. that's the whole reason people get it

[@bobboman]

the issue with ai is it will scrap the internet for articles then go from there, i put in build me a gaming pc build for under 1000 and it legitimately gave a parts list from a black friday 2023 article it found online, using an AM4 socket

[@HoJoGoGo]

Since the 7900X is currently $319.99 at Micro Center, it would have been interesting to see Austin's build with twice the core count instead, it would have been much more competitive. It would have been easy to save $20 on the case to make it happen.

[@AndreChaosweapon]

About the cpu, you didn't read the news in August?

[@Brutalized]

@@AndreChaosweapon I understand why he chose 12th gen yeah but LGA1700 ends with 14th gen so there’s realistically no upgrade path after 12900K. Austin’s AM5 build makes more sense from a future proofing standpoint.

[@AndreChaosweapon]

@@Brutalized yeah i know, but the future proof is for gpu only and 12th gen can manage a 4000 series without problems

[@Brutalized]

@@AndreChaosweapon It’s a 3 year old chip lol. Silly justification for a soon to be obsolete platform. I don’t know about you but if I’m upgrading to the newest gen hardware I’d want to at least have to option to upgrade my other components as well. He had a goal for the video and he accomplished it but mentioning that he had future proofing in mind is pretty disingenuous.

[@billybob4274]

Big difference in scores between Austin and me. My total score is 25,116. My CPU score(5800X3D) is 11,646, and my GPU score(7900XTX) is 31,558. That's with just changing the PBO to -25. Had it at -30 as most posts I found suggested, but got some hangups off and on. Lowered it to -25, nothing since. My RAM is 32 GB of G.Skill (Neo? Don't remember) running at 3600 MHz. Just find it interesting that with 1 tier lower card, and an older CPU but with 2 more cores, were at least 2.5 times higher.

But one of them takes an extra 15 minutes or so to drive to. But distance wise they are literally the same which is funny.

[@Leon-pk7hh]

Isn’t the store in Dallas way smaller like I felt cramped being there and I built my whole system 😭, ohhh but I am surprised they didn’t use the bundle deal they had with that cpu literally it was almost the same price like I paid 540 for my pc with the same cpu.

Guys if you are considering building a p.c. And you want to get the best price/performance please don’t take advice from jay and Austin, price/performance is not their strong suits.

[@AndreChaosweapon]

AI will fail until be trained correctly, learn about looking for discounts, bundles, etc. A simple order is given look for a mid-range spec, the AI will do exactly what is given, but us with better experiences and knownledge will make better. AI is good start point to look and get some answers, try it yourself! look for Copilot and see for yourself, its free!
