I can't wait for the $160-170 usd 8400f to release, should make budget AM5 almost possible. 7500f would be better unless you can leverage the NPU but that's not a worldwide release yet

Imo the 3060ti is not all that bad depending on what you play. I just upgraded my GPU yesterday buying a 6700XT on the used market for 250$, but I was highly considering the 3060ti, simply because it performs good in the main game I play - Counterstrike 2. I just happened to spot the 6700XT for the same price, so got that instead.

I casually upgraded from a r5 2600 to a r9 5950x. Still using a 1080Ti until NVidia gets better or cheaper or thinner cards. Upgraded from 1080p to 1440p monitor and love it. I feel like I'm bottlenecked by Power Supply at 500W. Either that or it's the slow DDR4 RAM and SATA drives.

@@PCBuilderChannelhi Thankyou so much for the insight 😅. So yes the 5800x3D, 3060 ti and PSU was all an upgrade previously. I got a snipe on Black Friday for the cpu only being 249$ last year, and the gpu and psu i got bundled over eBay for only 300$ for both items. I only own them because I got insane price deals I couldnt pass up.For context on my recommended upgrade, I told my friend I wanted to future proof my pc a little pit so he said I should go with that motherboard, and the storage, and the cooler to help keep temps down. The case upgrade is just me wanting a newer case. Im aware it's not needed. ( side note) there's alot of context i couldnt fit into the original message to be in the boost my build series. While im future proofing my pc and buying all new parts. Im assembling my old pc with the left over parts in my closet and selling the old pc to my friend. Hence why I was upgrading across the board. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for all of the help. Would love to get into a discord call and explain my situation. It's all over the place.

@@SZipp Great finds first of all, congratz! Nothing wrong with spending a little more for a case you enjoy that fits your build, I think your choice is great. As far as future proofing though, I feel it's a bit of a fool's errand. Some of your parts will move fine, particularly the PSU but you already have the best gaming chip they will probably release for AM5 unless they make a 5950X3D with stacked cache on both CCDs (possible but I highly doubt it). I think your next build after this (and maybe this build honestly) should be to a newer platform after you saved up. But I personally would try to get rid of a 3060 TI too if I had one, so I understand the upgrade here

Just built a new system this week. I also chose the Phanteks XT PRO ULTRA and a 7700 xt. The case is AMAZING for the price, especially considering you get 4x 140mm fans (the fans alone are $50) and the only gripe I had about the case was no rubber grommets for wiring, but its not really an issue because the cutouts are large and there is plenty of them. The 7700 xt I got for $379 and the price to performance of that card, in my opinion, is unbeatable in the current market of mid-range cards.

Great video as always, also, 6800 XTs are $410 for the swft version and $430 for the merc one on amazon, it was 400 at some point but it went up

I just got a Teamgroup Vulcan sata drive to replace the failing hard drive in my old 2016 laptop! The thing still works great besides the hard drive, and I figured it would be a good backup for my main rig. Can't beat the prices on those TForce parts!

I bought the XT Pro Ultra, and building it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. Using the 240 AIO should be a breeze too, I had no trouble fitting a 360 at the top. It's a fantastic case, and the I/O cables are super easy too. One thing I wish I did was snip the factory zip ties to work my cable management a little better. It being my first build, I decided to just leave it. Now I just need to figure out how to make my ARGB better. Case fans on one ARGB header, with AIO pump, radiator fans, and GPU bracket sharing the other header. GPU is controlled by Firestorm software from Zotac, G. Skill RAM by either their software or Mystic Light.

is the PBO on the ryzen cpu the auto voltage OC? there is an company that did tests and when its enabled the cpu thermal throttles itself for no reason. It makes the fans ramp up while doing simple tasks. It's absolutely necessary to disable the auto-voltage OC for the ryzen 5 am5 cpu

Is it gonna be good enough for playing games where it is important to hear your enemies like escape from tarkov? And maybe listening to spotify/youtube? Would it be better to go with msi mag b650 tomahawk that apparently has better audio but has no pcie gen5? (i know its not important, but both of those cost the same in my region so im not gonna be wasting my money buying either of them and i like asrocks look better for my build so if i could id rather pick it over msi, will audio be enough?)

There's a bit of a markup since I'm outside US, could've lowered it more if I bought the cpu and mobo in us but using a forwarder is too bothersome

Best time to build your pc I think. These dead spots in the cycle right before the new stuff.

Great video! I'm building a higher end pc than this (7800x3d and 7900xtx) and was thinking of that same phanteks xt pro case (ultra, not sure what the difference is as I'm writing this) and was wondering if you would suggest that for a higher end build too? I watched your most recent case video already but it wasn't on there, maybe it wasnt released yet? I was mostly considering between phanteks xt pro ultra, fractal torrent (maybe overkill but looks nice and top tier thermals and noise) and the h6 flow. I would prefer a quiet pc and its hard to find thermal testing with people doing custom fan orientation on the case, something i think would change the tesults a lot. Wondering if you could vould point me in a direction among those three. Currently lean hardest to the h6 flow.

There unfortunately isn't any White 6700XT's but there is a White 7600XT and 7700XT.

I like the recommendations for SZipp but considering he plays mainly competitive games with high fps already I would only upgrade the SSD to a sata as well 2-4 tb and maybe wait for am6 or a crazy 9-10000X3D. The new gpu is indeed the main increase 15-20% but it doesn't seem like he needs it so I would wait some new generation. While not giving performance matching a good monitor with good spec (color accuracy 2k with 144hz good panel etc..) will give a better "upgrade" experience than some performance upgrade.

Oh, come on, $650 could make the upgrade machine kick ass! 1. Keep everything except Drives and GPU. 2. Invest $18 on an M.2 external USB enclosure. 3. Upgrade 1 - 2TB P3 for motherboard M.2 slot. You need the external enclosure above to clone the existing drive. You can also use it with an old SSD afterward (it will be slow), but it is great for backup, copying data to other devices, etc. The spinner goes to the circular filing cabinet under the desk. 4. Upgrade 2 - GPU go 4070 Super (if NVIDIA) or 7900GRE (If AMD) Kick ass stealth system. The great thing here is your next upgrade would be the MB/CPU/RAM, etc but keep the GPU.

If you are building a new pc I would definitely go AM5 so you can upgrade your computer with a new CPU with out having to replace the motherboard and RAM. As Jason says though, you ned to make sure the parts make sense for what you are doing right now. I would always shop GPU first to match the level of performance you want and then buy the motherboard, CPU, and RAM that you need. For 1440p In 2024 I would get the RX 7700xt since it is cheaper than Nvidia for about the same performance. I will say that the hard drive speed does help with loading games and scenes along with the speed of the RAM, but isn’t a huge gain and only worth it if you can afford it. 1TB is enough and you can always buy a second drive down the line like I did if you want more, or want to store your games on a different drive.

My Wraith Cooler works just fine. Absolutely zero noise.

If i upgrade or downgrade my Gpu within the Same Series so RTX 3070 to a RTX 3080/ti/3090/ti should i run DDU and uninstall the nvidia drivers and reinstall them or just swap them out and it be fine? asking cause recently upgraded and selling my old gpu and some people want to test gpu before buying so not sure weather i could just swap over or run uninstall proscess i did uninstall anyways to be safe but would like to know for future

You never need DDU if switching a gpu for the same brand

Moment I saw the original $900 build I knew you were gonna go with the 6750 xt. The 1440p budget GOAT. Of course, if on am4, definitely could've squeezed in a 7700xt. But future proofing can be quite a trap.

Hey Jason, i have a Ryzen 9 5900x and 3070 x570 Aorus and 32 GB Ram my pc quite lagging while streaming Star citizen and other games. i dunno why, Internet and OBS is also not the problem. Now i thought about upgrading to 4080 super. What u think?

Sadly that CPU is going to bottleneck that GPU quite a bit so I don't recommend that. If you plan to upgrade to that high a GPU in the future I'd drop in a 5800X3D first. See our Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024 video for more

Hi, started thinking of building a pc recently. Should I go with ryzen 5600 and a Rx 6750xt or a ryzen 7600 and a Rx 7600. The motherboard and ram prices for the am5 socket are much expensive as compared to the am4 in my country Edit: for example a good kit of ddr5 ram 6000 MHz cl30 costs about 169 dollars (converted price)

@PCBuilderChannel I currently have an Intel Core i7 8700K CPU and an RTX 3060 12GB GPU. Which one should I upgrade first? The CPU (and motherboard and memory) to a 13700K or the GPU to an RTX 4060 TI or 4070 TI? What is everyone's thoughts? Additional information: I'm on a fixed budget and likely won't be able to upgrade something like this again for quite awhile. P.S. Yes, I'm sure that I want an Nvidia GPU, as I do a lot of work in Stable Diffusion and that basically requires an Nvidia card. 🤷🏼

CPU no. The 7600 and 4070 Super are a good combo. For the PSU you need to put your build into PC Part Picker and times the watts by 1.5.

It looks awesome, however I'm always hesitant to recommend their stuff as their customer service is non-existent. If you get one fully working it is a great value, and if you can return something not working to Newegg or Amazon within the return window that is fine too, but if a fan goes out after that you'll likely need to just replace it yourself. But their stuff has been improving in terms of looks for sure.

I recently purchased a Lenovo T5 26ARA8 system with Ryzen 7 7700X, 4070 12 GB, 1 T SSD m.2. l replaced the two sticks of 8 GB DDDR5 RAM with two sticks of 16 GB RAM. I replaced the 500 watt power supply with my 600 watt Thermaltake power supply. The Ryzen 7 7700X is plenty fast processor. I might replace it with a Ryzen 7 7800x3D. The 4070 is fast enough for me.

Im building a new pc and wanted to know which direction i should go in. Either a 7900GRE with a 7800x3d or 7900xt with 7600x. It comes out to same price. Im feeling towards the better GPU lower CPU combo.

@PCBuilderChannel

Either is good, but the max FPS is likely the 7600X and 7900 XT combo outside of some very specific CPU bound titles (like running CSGO at 1080p on low settings). The great thing is that you can always drop in a 9800X3D sometime in the future if it needs a boost, or skip the 9000 series and drop in a Zen 6 CPU in the following gen which we've heard will also be on AM5.

I have an MSI Ventus RTX 2070 Super and an I7 10700k. I am considering upgrading to a RTX 4070 super or at least a RTX 4070. Will that work or is that going to bottleneck the hell out of my CPU? Later on i will upgrade my CPU within a few years. (I play on 1440p and upgrade GPU once every 4-5 years)

@PCBuilderChannel

15 күн бұрын

10700K is a bit weaker than a Ryzen 5600X in gaming. My advice would be to go with a Radeon RX 7800 XT to help the CPU bottleneck (and get 16GB of VRAM) due to the differences in CPU overhead between AMD and NVIDIA GPUs (see Hardware Unboxed's testing of this, can be substantial at times). But I think that system could handle a 4070 and if there isn't much price difference then go 4070 Super.

@mathiasrnebjerg4543

Thanks for the input, i was considering the rx 7800 xt, but i believe in dlss and frame generation, and i am a bit scared of switching to amd (gpu vice), since everyone i know have regretted switching to amd. But yes i agree, 12 gb vram is not as future proof as a 16gb vram gpu, and here in denmark the rx 7800 xt is cheaper than the rtx 4070 and 4070 super.

Just go AM5 at that point, I only spent 190 on a carbon B650 so not sure why an x570 is 50% more & as stated, even a lowly 7600 trades with a 5800x3d, 7800 & whatever comes next are both big leaps again. A B350 really isn’t the best for an X3D anyway, B550/X570’s released around the same time for a reason so rolling back two gens is asking for problems. B550e was about the best value when i was looking at am4 about 6 months ago. He probably also wanted that case 😂 & tbh, only about 1 in 20 aio’s I see aren’t mixed metal so I could only push types with no aluminium rads.

ok so I wasnt the only one inconvenienced when they changed the promo codes.. was buying a b650e taichi lite for $240, then bam on tuesday $260 smh.
