It is literally the only true 1440p card besiders the 4080 / super NVidia offers while the 4090 is the only true 4k card. Everything else is a 1080p card with 1440p available in most 2 years old or older games if you wanna go DLSS balanced at least. For me a true resolution xy card has to put stable 60 fps with DLSS at quality in that resolution in every game maxed out to the absolute max. The 4070 ti super falls short in that only in alan wake at the moment, but we have Frame gen at least and the 4080 isn't better a bit. If you'd measure by that game only the 4090 is a true 1440p card.

Great pc parts list! Provided that you don't care about upscaling or ray tracing, you can also get the 7900xt for about $690. About the same raw performance as the 4070 ti super and 20gb vram vs 16gb on the 4070 ti super. If you want to go for more value, you can go with the 7900gre.

I feel like saving money on PSU cost you more in the long run. I've paired my i5 2500k and Titan with Enermax 920W and today it is still alive and kicking, powering 5960X (200W+ TDP with OC) and RTX3070. Similarly my main workstation still runs on Corsair AX1500i and, unless standards drqstically change or a lightning finally fries it, it will last another decade. Quality PSUs lasts for multiple generations. Conversely my friends spent more on PSUs over the same period of time by going bare minimum, either by the virtue of needing more power for upgrade or PSU just giving up after being constantly abused at 95% rated capacity after a period.

Built my system before the Super’s were introduced, pretty much matches the $1100 build. I have been positively surprised at the performance you get out of this system. Have paired it with a Sony M9 4K HDR600 144hz monitor and I run at high with frame generation on for a smooth experience in modern games, performance is good enough that I can add some light RT in games like Cyberpunk, but I must add that it’s important to choose an RX 7800 XT from a good board partner. I got the XFX Merc black edition, this comes with a factory OC that can be easily extended through AMD’s adrenaline software for this kind of performance.

All you need is an used rtx 3060 12gb for $200 and you can play any game you want in 1080p. I know because i have one and there is no game i can't play. I can even play alan wake 2 medium settings

I love your thought process in building this machine.

SLC cache is present in all modern consumer SSDs. I assume you were thinking of a DRAM cache, which is no longer as necessary as it used to be, so only high-end SSDs use it. Teamgroup MP44L was a good choice for the price though

as an ordinary user who watches videos, and plays games daily. i would go for b650 pg lightning (you can get new for 140$) it has no wifi or fancy additional stuff. but with good vrm and simple design it does its job done. paired with 7800x3d and 6000 ddr5 32gb indeed. also i consider my 3060ti enough for 1080p gaming

I'm not a fan of RGB in my gaming rig either. But I suspect those that are and moved on to an OLED and have to play in a dark room won't be either.

4:14 this, and same. Always function over form for me. I don’t care if it’s darker than Darth Vader’s sh*t as long as it performs like Darth Vader.

What funny is that the 7800X3D could be powered by all the boards, even the "bad" ones. That Taemgroup is not AMD EXPO certified. Teamgroup has "alpha" appended to the end of the name if it is. Typically EXPO RAM runs as 1.4V as opposed to XMP 3.0 only RAM which can be 1.35V.

I made an 1600$ build with 7700 CPU (nonX - it gives a cooler too) and 7800XT GPU, the main expensive part was - Samsung 870 QVO 4 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive (299$) - and the - Chieftec ATMOS 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (189$) - I like Chieftec for PSU. I was also looking for low base energy requirement, but high overclock potential still if needed.

No RGB is an underrated build. ❤

Good point the 4070 Super likely does not give enough RT performance either way. I have the Lian Li case with Auros Master and the air flow is super great .

@@cybernd6426 - As long as the processors aren't throttling, you gain nothing by making them a few degrees cooler (especially if you lose in terms of noise). I have a Noctua cooler in one of my old systems and (although it took me a long time to decide, because it was much more expensive than the alternatives), now I consider it one of my best purchases ever. Ten years later it's still working fine and it's absolutely silent. I bought the (Arctic) fans / cooler in my current case after reading reviews, but what most reviews don't tell you is what the noise sounds like (they just measure volume). I ended up changing my fan speed profile manually to try to stay below 30% and then rise quickly to 50%, to avoid the "whiny" part around 40%, but I still notice it.

Pretty much exactly what I just bought (and still to assemble!). 7800X3D; Deepcool AK400 ZERO DARK cooler (nearly went for the AK620 before finding this one, which should be ample for the 7800X3D -- also was a bit concerned about massive coolers flexing the motherboard!); 4070 Ti Super (Palit JetStream: which came out top for quietness in Techtesters round-up and very high OC capability (though I probably won't indulge)); MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk mobo; TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory; TEAMGROUP MP34 4 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (went for Gen 3 for the DRAM cache; and plenty fast enough for gaming); Corsair RM850e (2023) 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply; Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact TG Dark Tint ATX Mid Tower Case. No RGB! And I also went slightly darker than you with black RAM (I think your white sticks might stick out a bit); however I now find that the black ones seem to have sold out. Mostly looking forward to Cyberpunk!

I'll throw a recommendation out for Silicon Power. Never had an issue with their RAM or SSD's. That said G.Skill gets my money based on warranty replacing a DDR3 kit 8 years later no questions asked when one stick started failing. Great Customer Service gets my $$$.

I have 7800x3d and a 3080. Few months ago I helped a friend of mine to build a PC and my recommendations were 7800x3d unless you have to get something cheaper. My friend didn't care about GPU software features so we just looked at the current pricing and Techpowerup GPU performance list and settled on 7800xt. In motherboard selection I recommended to look at the features and ports he wants and after that make sure it has a good review. The performance of my current and his new system should be about the same and it should handle most games 1440p +120fps.

Nice build but I would go with a better motherboard especially for AM5 because of the option to upgrade the CPU later + higher tier motherboard has more and better features. I'm 100% with you, no RGB in my black box.

Great build! I was looking for a good ATX case and my requirements are the same: big box with good ventilation. Also I was surprized that top-tier PC is possible for under $1700.

Only thing I'd like to add is about the case. Often cases come with shit fans that will perform decently and be noisy, you can get a 5 pack Arctic F12 pwm for 25€ (5€ each) and I can tell you from personal experience they're quiet enough to never bother you untill you reach 60/70% of the speed (then they'll be audible, but not annoying) and the airflow will be better too. Never underestimate how much good airflow can change your components temps, and always keep in mind not only GPU and CPU need cooling, but also VRMs on your motherboard and all its integrated chips, storage and RAM too. Pretty excellent guide, nothing insanely pricy but also not a budget build, I'd say the best value for high end PC.

Mr Owen. I know monitors aren't your niche, but tldr, I have a 4080 super/7800x3d pc. I want a monitor setup to be able to game as well as watch streams/stream a bit myself/make some KZread videos.

Thanks so much this type of video. It helps so much when building a PC I am going to go with the first build you mentioned at around $1600. I assume this is also good for competitive high FPS 1440 P gaming? Thanks again !

Personally, I'd get a motherboard with the X670E chipset (more ports, better future upgradeability) and I'd probably get a cheaper graphics card, to be replaced in 6 to 12 months. Nearly every card in the current generation seems overpriced for the actual performance improvement over the previous generation. The 4070 Super should be a sub-$500 card. Also, a system based on the 5700X3D CPU would be pretty good value for money right now, though less upgradeable in the future.

ASRock is tough to beat for value. I've been using the HDVs and Riptides in my builds with very good results.

I have no need for RGB, or clear windows, but after looking at the upcoming Fractal cases…I am thinking, Why shouldn’t PC’s be reasonably sized to fit on a desk, look aesthetically pleasing and perform well/ reliably?…They should, at these prices. Guess I will wait to see some reviews.

For anyone buying this build, I purchased that team group memory kit a few months ago. It’s not compatible with AMD. The motherboard vendor should have a compatibility list on their website of all memory that works.

If you don’t intend to upgrade the CPU before AM6 then you can get say a 12600kf, save money on the CPU, RAM and mobo and get just slightly worse performance than a Ryzen 7600.

i personally think 7800x3d doesn't make a significant difference in gaming performance compared to 7700(65W). my current rig is a 7500F with 1.5 years old 4070ti, my next build is planned to be a 7700 with 4070tis or wait for gen 5000

Why Peerless Assassin over Phantom Spirit in any of the configs? It's $2 more but beats the PA (ever so slightly) on thermals and noise levels (a little more handily).

4070tiS sleeper hit of the generation. All those who dunked on it back then made a fool of themselves.

Needs a second ssd for w10 so you don't get freezes when downloading Also 850w for 600 watt usage is weird just buy a 650 or 700 gold semi modular

Sweet spot for PSU efficiency is around 85%

Why 7800x and not 14700k? Second one seems more versatile for the price (more cores, twice higher performance in workstation)

I would go 7900 xt instead for 690 and save 90$!! With better rasterization! And I would go 7900 gre over the 4070 super too. Faster and more Vram will last you longer.

I am waiting for end of 2024 for newer stuff review

Please do the same video for 1080p gamers

I'm waiting for that 9600x to drop :O I'm tempted to get 9700x... 6 cores is so 2012 >:3 the prices on these might drop but I also rarely compile large code bases etc

I was able to cool my 7800x3d with a ID-Cooling XE-224 XTS, which is a $27 air cooler and peak temps only reach 60-70 for me under stress

is there a video that i can follow along so i can build it?

Very nice video and great build for the price :)

I just build 7700 + MSI B650m GAMING PLUS WIFI + D5 6400mhz and this Mobo let me OC and UV 7700 at stock PBO 65W + Curve Optimize -65 an all cores +200mhz Now 7700 in CB r23 in MT gives me 19270pts all cores boost to 5025mhz at 62c and in ST 1960pts at 5500mhz which practically give me 7700x 140W at 65W aka 90W at full load! But when I used PBO 140W CPU boost to 5250mhz-5300mhz all cores at 92c-93c and CB r23 gave me 19920pts! So I can recommend MSI Mobos like this one or Mortar WiFi which gives you Type C 20gbps! But ZERO RAM issues! I put 6400mhz and they are flying!

Funny how i got the exact specs (naming of the parts except for my motherboard's "b650m gaming wifi" and my cpu cooler being watercooled) that is in this video, just the brands are all different

Montech Air 903 Base looks nice in White.

nice vid ❤ also 7800xt or 4060 16gb for 1080p gaming? i prefer looks since i’m at 1080p so performance should be decent on both, and nvidia has frame gen.

L, better upgrade to 14900k, 30 series GPU outdated

I love your content and this critique goes out to ALL content creators that make PC builds: 2 Big things 1. TAX, no one, and I mean no one mentions tax. A $1500 dollar build is closer to $1600-1650 if you include tax, and that's assuming free shipping which is not always the case. 2. Monitors, every once in a while I see monitors included in builds but realistically, if you are building your first PC or upgrading your old one, you are almost guaranteed going to want to upgrade your monitor too. I built mine back in 2017, almost everything was 1080p gaming back then. Now in 2024 almost everyone is shooting for at least 1440p maybe even 4k, meaning likely everyone needs a new monitor too to take advantage of that new fancy PC. 3rd thing, that literally no one covers, peripherals. First time builders will need a mouse and keyboard as part of their build. Doesn't have to be expensive just decent but that will be around $100 for a decent m&k. Soooo realistically this $1700 build is $1850 with tax, $2200 with a monitor (1440p 144-180 htz), and with a good enough M&K the total is probably $2300-2400. Please keeps this in mind before someone with $1500 goes to build their fist PC and builds a desktop, ending up 500 bucks short of a monitor m&k and the taxes to buy it.

Nobody mentions tax cause it's pointless to do so. Nobody knows what percentage of sales tax you will face. My state/area has 6% tax. Yet if I decided to just take an hour drive I can go to a state that has 0% sales tax and buy what I want to save money.

Swap the 4070Ti Super to a 7900 XT. Save $100 and lose no raster perf.

Ryzen 7500F $130 from Aliexpress and a 7900GRE from Newegg for $540

I've been rocking a 2080 since realse, is it time to upgrade or shall I wait for 50 series?

Raising awareness again on the PSU's. 1000W PSU's are not hugely more expensive over 850W, and in return they provide more wattage for future big upgrades. Having more wattage headroom also means lower noise levels and potentially improved efficiency (often peaks at 40-50% of the maximal load). So if your budget allows it, consider a 1000W PSU instead of a 850W one.

At that point the CPU or GPU may be louder than PSU. 50% use for a gold psu is more than enough (aiming lower is diminishing returns), 7800x3d + 4080 system require not more than 400w most of the time. And the power consumption of not ridiculouosly priced tier (4090) hasn't increased in recent years, even dropped (4080 is more efficient than 3080 for example)

I really think AMD needs to drop pricing on the 7900 xt and especially the xtx. I do have the xtx, it is a great card but if a 4080s is less than $100 more, it's a no brainer. The 4070 ti super vs 7900 xt is a closer competition, but I think most people are willing to pay the difference to get DLSS and better RT. AMD needs to improve fsr if they want to compete without having to slash prices, not everyone care about RT that much, but upscaling is in every game now.

Good builds 👍💯

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, ASUS B650-E TUF Gaming, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle at MICROCENTER for 479.92 as of today/s price

I may just get the ASRock Mobo Pro RS without the wifi. The wifi version is ou of stock as usual and the price seem to be a bit more expensive than it should. I do have a wifi adapter for my laptop so maybe I'll just use that until otherwise. Glad to see that its a decent board at least!

​@lavenderlolxd Ignoring the worse longevity because of VRAM (and how Ray Tracing tech tends to become obsolete after two generations), Nvidia are generally better but that comes at a hefty price. They're not a good option for people on a tight budget or those who don't care about RT. Ray Tracing is good but the performance you're sacrificing in other areas to get it and the need for upscaling to even use it should make Radeon more appealing for most people.

Hardware Unboxed are excellent benchmarkers for everything except Motherboards, one thing is place a 4-core CPU with a 4090 to research his overall real performance and another way different and absurd it to test a 16-core CPU with a 100$ Board. Should we buy all more expensive than we need because budget boards throttle 600$ CPUS? that just confuses rookie builders, that information is useless.

The bad thing maybe that you do not get rid of this fear of working with PC hardware. You could also buy a super cheap/free used PC and just assemble it a few times for practise.
