▶Sponsor: Windows 10 Pro ($16):biitt.ly/kPBz6 *Note: BitFenix Nova Mesh mATX Case has 3 fans, not 4 (ATX size has 4). You don't need any additional.* What are you looking to build? Or did you build recently? What games are you playing or waiting for? Tell your story in a new comment below!
In regards to ram. My x79 was in service until last year (around Aug). It had 64gb of ddr3 1800 (quad channel clocked to 1600 due to stability). It was ok. Having 64gb of ram means things like you can make a ram disk when you need to or your system will buffer disk reads/writes more effectively. It will make a system feel smooth for a long time. It's also handy for virtualization if you need it :)
A build thats a lot of generations back maybe intel 8th with a decent enough gpu( If possible 8gb),Mainly free Epic games and Steam games(Maybe some risky website ones too). And I still use a 2nd gen 2100 intel cpu with 10gb ddr3 ram and a 120gb SATA SSD build and for more than 10 years
Currently on a 5600 and 3060. I noticed on HUB’s scaling video that the 4090 offers barely an improvement over a 6950xt if paired with a 5600. If I were to only upgrade the gpu, would a 4070/6800xt offer much uplift? Or if I should wait until I’m upgrading the whole platform which could be a while away. I game at 1080p 75hz. Sometimes games dip below 60fps despite not running ultra nor ray tracing
About the last build: Keep in mind that VAT(value added tax) in Spain is 21%. Most of the EU is around 20% and all prices in EU are displayed with tax included (what you see is what you pay). I've heard in the US it's around 7...10% and even have states with 0 purchase tax.
Great builds. The bitfenix micro atx case somes with 3 argb fans not 4. I believe the atx tower has 4. Just built in the bitfenix micro case and was a great case
I've finally earned the money for my new PC! It wasn't easy, (I worked at a waterpark at 10.50 USD an hour before I even started high school) but I will finally be able to pursue my dreams! Thank you so much for your content, not only has it provided motivation, but it also gave me the useful information to help me build my pc! Thanks!
Spain seems to be in the sweet spot of pricing, they have a lot of tech stores available whereas some other countries in the EU don't have as many options. We have to either resort to importing from Germany or other countries, or stick with the overpriced stuff locally, and the supplies are very limited too. A lot of the budget/mid tier items aren't even in stock currently. Thought I'd share, don't mean to disrespect or anything! Love your content, and thank you for helping your community with the boost guides! Best wishes to you and your family!❤
I just bought a PC (I chose the parts they just build it) on memoryPc (German website) it cost me 2k euros if i wanted the same config in France I would have to add at least an another 500-600 euros
I think most people in Europe do not know that U.S. prices do not have VAT included. It is just nothing you come across in the EU. Not knowing prices exluded tax, I used to think tech prices were significantly lower in the U.S. Right now I am under the impression that the prices, at least here in Germany, are either competitive or a good bit lower. Would be interesting to know why though. One big thing that comes to mind is that it is still very unusual to take up debt for buying tech items. That makes customers more hesitant to buy and might be forcing retail to make prices more attractive.
There's a difference in import taxes, overhead costs (warehouse, shipping, etc), and also there's what the companies think they can charge in those locales!
@@PCBuilderChannelhey, not sure why i didnt think abt downgrading the CPU From 5600x to 5600 cus it's $30 less Here, the ram and ssd i Can definitely find cheaper than what they Are. Im talking abt the prebuilt From few days ago, so i might be able to get a bit better GPU and then let the shop assemble it, i don't think they charge alot. Makes alot more sense
I'm already planning my final build for a while, as i have like 10 PCs in my fleet 😅 I'm kinda forced to stay on AM4 because of the motherboard i bought, and i really don't want to deal with the hassle of selling it. I'm practically going all the way here- high fps 1440p. CPU I'm thinking 5800X3D; still debating on a cooler... may go AIO but i don't know...GPU: maybe 7900XT? I kinda want to see what the 7800 will be like, assuming it comes out. RAM, I'm going with 3600 CL16. Tentatively setting a budget of $1440, but my birthday is in about a month and a half, so i might get a boost. Sorry for the ramble... 😅
7800XT is probably too expensive at first, better to go RTX4070, you don't need the 16GB. Definitely wait for the announcement soon at gamescon. 5800X3D is a good choice, and so is the 5600X3D, for AM4.
I'll wait and see what the 7700/7800 will offer. Right now I'm not in any hurry to get the GPU, though I will consider your suggestion. :) Probably wont get anything major until around Black Friday.

Great video again Jason 🤩👍! It’s actually great to see non-US residents getting some vg deals too which is often a disappointment for many pc gamers 😢not getting throw away pc prices and more budget friendly upgrade options.
So glad you enjoyed Michael! Yes I was happy to do one from Spain this time. Also fyi we got the channel member discord started so you can check that out!
I have started recommending SSD heatsinks in cases where the motherboard does not come with one. This is especially true for content creators/video editors which is the first use case in boost my build. The SSDs quickly heat up and thermal throttle. It's not a big concern for gamers where it's random read/write. With aftermarket SSD heatsinks being so cheap less than $10. It's worth it.
Even if they come with some, the more affordable boards often just come with a chunk of more or less flat metal and a thermal pad that is almost not even worth being called that. They are good for dragging some initial heat out, but then getting stuck as they are bad at dissipating it and are often so flat to the board and on top of that right above or even completely covered by GPUs, that they are without any airflow worth mentioning or rightaway sit in a hotbox. They help a little tho, but you can still get them to throttle at some points with them. Thats why i switched the top on on my X570 Aorus Pro to a "Acidalie M.2 SSD heatsink with Double Layer Aluminum and 4 Copper Heat Pipes Cooler for M.2 SSD 2280[Black]" for about 20bucks, which dropped temps harshly and holds them consistently much lower and also reaches a bit deeper into the cases (H500M) airflow. (990Pro 2TB had up to 65°C on the NAND and 75°C on the controller, now its in the low 50s at worst and mostly, if not under full load for long or in benchmarks, its comfortably in the 40s) A good and a little flatter, maybe more aesthetically pleasing alternative is the Sabrent M.2 Cooler (Model SB-HTSK) for also just about 20Bucks and it'll perform almost as good as the Acidalie one. The second one under the GPU got switched to the Be Quiet! MC1 for just 12bucks as the MC1 Pro (about 15bucks) was just a tad to high to fit under biggus chungus RTX3080 Aorus Master 12Gig with all that shroud around, but that still cut about 10°C of my 4TB Lexar NM790 compared to the standard chunk of flat metal. Also on most of them, you dont even need to change the included pads, as they perform very well. If you dont get really good ones, you could even lose performance with replacement pads.
This is also why I love cases like the O11D series. Having a bottom set of intake fans really helps my second SSD stay below 50 degrees C. And that’s with the motherboard SSD heatsink that came with my mobo.
@@Iridiumcosmos Yeah that is indeed an advantage, as long the GPU isnt to fat and gets to hot, so that the air can actually get behind and out again.^^ With an 80°C 420Watt max Heat Monster like my 4Slot GPU even the bottom fans woul've had a hard time getting this NVME cooled, when hot air is being blasted at it. And i have to make a correction, i redid the MC1 Pro with a little more pressure, to fit it to the "singlesided" notches for the screws and it worked! :) Not *much* of a difference, but a difference no less. Now she idles at about the same temps as the GPU with 45-50°C on the Nand and 40-45 on the Controller, while being completely covered in a hot box. Phanteks NV7 looks interesting tho...especially with their new D30 Fans...30mill thicc 170m³/h Airflow and a goddarn 7.something mm H2O Pressure... and thats just the 120mill, no 140's yet. 🤩 But for now, my H500M will do..^^
Hey Jason! I pulled the trigger and bought my parts! 🎉 I’ll be sure to watch your tutorial video after they arrive. Specs: Ryzen 5 7600 B650 gigabyte pro ax mobo 32gb gskill ddr5-6000 ram Nvidia 4070 2TB WD Black sn850x 750W seasonic psu Fractal Meshify 2 Compact case
Yeoo! I just completed my decade build! I jumped from my first build: gtx1080 with an I5-4690k (still lives and plays VR on low settings) to a GigOc rtx4090 with a 7800x3d! It is noice! Lancool 3 case, Arctic Freeze 360, and Trident z5 DDR5 Ram. 980pros for M.2's. Seated it all in a Gig B650 Auros Pro AX (Bios vers.7). Super smooth build and I got lots of useful tips from this channel and all of you peoples, so thanks! :)
Hi jason I'm looking forward to building my first gaming pc. I've chosen a list of parts that I think are capable of running visually appealing games at 1440p max graphics with 144fps ishh gameplay. I still haven't picked the right monitor for my setup because of the various types of monitors on the market so I would be happy to hear your recommendations first and I would also love to hear any improvements or feedback on my parts of choice.
Hello! Thats awesome! And you can check out our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor 2023 video for lots of great monitor recommendations. There are some good deals right now.
Still have an older Apevia Prestige Warlock 1050W I used to use for the main rig from 2019-2023 before I upgraded GPUs (7900XTX went with a stronger model to have power off each rail to the GPU). The cables are also black on that one. I think a lot of the premium models are okay with them, just check the psu tier list. Am glad it worked out. Price to performance for that 600w model looks good.
Without a doubt my favorite tech youtuber. Super informative while being incredibly entertaining, no shade on hardware unboxed and gamers nexus but they are often very lets say "calming"
Their content is quite a bit different. Jason is more of an entry-level informer to the general public, while HU and GN are the big boys you graduate to when you know your stuff, and are now interested in detailed benchmarks and deep-dives.
Suggest to go with **Bitfenix Nova Mesh SE TG case** for budget builds. The SE - Second Edition - model comes with 4 ARGB fans and a fan controller preinstalled even at a budget case price at $59 USD. They continue to make improvements on this model - most recently, they changed to standard thumbscrews for the glass side panel (abandoning the prior grommeted versions). Just make sure to check the GPU length clearance, as this is a somewhat small case. Note: Probably not the case to use if going with an AIO.
Man I came along way when it comes to pc gaming! When I first started watching this series a month ago I had a GT 1030,i5 12400f, and 8gb of ddr3 vram. Now I am sitting comfortably today with a rtx 4090, ryzen 7700x, and 64gb of ddr5 vram!!!!! Thank you so much for making these videos you kept me motivated and focused on the dream I’m now living.
@@Neonloverx I got a job at Walmart for $14 an hour pushing carts, my parents did help quite a bit by allowing me to not pay for any bills for the time being. It only took me a little over 2 and a half months of working at Walmart to get every thing I have now. When there’s a will there’s a way!
Hi Jason. Your video is a superb example of how to produce a video. It shows the difference between a great and a so-so video. The difference was simple: A black cat walking on your desk.
I would go with the 6800xt. I'm running a 6800xt reference with a ryzen 5600 on an asus b550 powered by a corsair 550w cx550f (on the b tier) without issue. I play demanding games like cyberpunk at 4k day and night. The power graph shows around 350w-ish under load. A 650w ps leaves a lot of head room.
What fps do u avg? I’m going from a “970 + 2600” to a “6700xt + 5900x” and wanna gauge what I might get close to. Ik the 6800xt is a lot better, but 320$ is a good deal imo.
NOX I believe is a Spanish brand of psus. I own a 680w NOX Sonar that I bought on my first build (i5 760) when I was living in Spain back in 2010! I rebuilt in 2015 with a i5 6600k and kept the same PSU. To this day that PSU is running perfectly well, only once I had to remove the fan little cap and add some multipurpose oil. I made a new build 2 months ago and replaced with an EVGA but that NOX is still running fine on now my mother's pc. Runs perfectly today after 13 years!
*on power* Just FYI, but with an R9-3900x + RTX4070 system I use usually no more than 325 Watts when gaming. I do recommend at least 50% extra for spikes on the Graphics card (calculated based on graphics card power draw not total system), AND I recommend looking at the FAN PROFILE to see where the fans ramp up (can be hard to find depending on the PSU model). My rule-of-thumb is aim for a PSU where you draw about 60% of the power. In my case that would be roughly 550W but due to the difference in PRICE for considering QUALITY models of PSU I just went with a quality 750W. So I don't ever hear the fan. Some PSU's you can hear the fan even though it's barely drawing power so don't cheap out and do a little research.
Keep in mind that if you pick up the Bitfenix nova mesh case and a matx motherboard. The motherboard will block some of the cut out for wire management. its only a headache to build in the first time.
Huh, I'm running 12700k with a 6800 XT and it runs just fine with my 650w psu. Even during stress test while monitoring power draw, it was perfectly fine as well. Though I did still under volt my GPU a little after as precaution, but with a 5600, it'll run perfectly fine. The rest of components doesn't draw that much power anyways. Ps: I know 12700k is over kill but there was a microcenter bundle deal several months back that was too good to pass up.
Be careful the RX6800 and the Deepcool case are sold by 3rd party sellers that's why the prices are low ! If you're gonna buy new you should buy from official resellers especially in the case of the RX6800 so that you can get your Starfield Premium Edition key that you will not get if you buy from 3rd party sellers.
@@cosmiccarp5030 CPUs only give you the Standard and GPUs starting from the 6700xt give you the Premium. Edit: Actually in the CPUs only the R9s get you the premium. But yeah bit weird that the 7800x3d only gets you the Standard.
6:08 I would honestly consider keeping that 750W PSU, it will come handy when you wanna upgrade your graphics card in the future and you won't have to upgrade it again.
That PSU is also ATX 3.0 PCIE 5.0 compatible so it comes with a 12vhpwr cable in the box and has a 7 year warranty. That Apevia unit has neither. I have the 1000W version and I'm very happy with it.
I would would go with the 299.00 MicroCenters 5600X3D bundle over what you picked out. The ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus WiFi II MB is way better than the Gigabyte 450. The bundle MB has 2 NVE slots 6 SATA Ports PCIe 4.0 and Dual antenna WiFi. + it has the 5600X3D which destroys the 5600x in games.
@@Jono793 Its like 70 miles from me and we did a road trip was a riot at the store. The people there actually know PCs well they are fellow enthusiasts. Got two of them for 299.00 each. The 7600 was like 200.00 more for around the same performance in games and much more for 64 gigs ram. For productivity not doing anything heavy duty my old hex was fast enough so it was not a factor. And I don't think I have ever updated the cpu in any system in 30 years so future proofing will be DDR6 system down the road.
Nice change, but budget va panels have horrendous black smearing, if u cant notice it ur lucky, but if u can notice its very distracting. Paying a bit more for a budget ips is worth the money
Jason, once again another Stellar BMB I'm building a 4k ultrawide setup with RTX 4090, 7800X3D, B650 AORUS PRO, AK620, Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32, Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0, Pop XL Air, and Thermaltake GF3 TT Premium 1200 W. Do you see any egregious issues? Specifically cooling, mother or memory? Thanks for all your hard work.
Hi Jason, just a quick reminder for your B450 upgrade recommendation - B450 has one m.2 nvme and one m.2 SATA slot. B550 boards had one gen 3 and one gen 4 nvme. So while the owner might have a free slot on their B450 , it's kinda hard to find m.2 SATA drives now so it'd be a case of upgrading the existing nvme drive and maybe adding a 2.5" SATA SSD to replace the hard drive?
Great boosts on the upgrade build. You should be able to resale the gpu, cpu and maybe even the psu to get enough cash to but a budget 1440p monitor. Awesome content as always
@@PCBuilderChannelI have a quick question I have a 5600g with a 6600xt I want to upgrade for the holidays is it better to upgrade the GPU for 1440p or upgrade to ryzen 7600? Would really help thanks
@@daurinalvarez5302 It depends: Do you play high-FPS competitive games, or single-player high-settings games? If you play competitively and want 120+ FPS at 1080p, upgrade the CPU. The 7600 will be able to push way more frames for you (you do need a monitor that'd show them too, if you don't have it)... But you will have to upgrade the motherboard too. GPU upgrade wouldn't do anything for you here, since you'll be mostly CPU limited. If you play single-player though, and want to be able to up the resolution and quality settings in games, upgrade your GPU. Thing is, I wouldn't recommend upgrading to less than an rx 6800 or a 4070. Anything less and the difference you'd feel would not be worth your money, so you'd be better off waiting for the RX 7700 or 7800 to release AND drop in price, or for the 4070 to drop to at least $500 (that's gonna be a long while.) Upgrading the CPU if you play single-player titles would be pointless as well. You might reduce some stuttering, and might be able to increase like... The amount of NPCs, perhaps... But your GPU is most likely the main limiting factor there.
@daurinalvarez5302 You could run a faster gpu with your 5600g. You might have some bottlenecking, but won't be as bad at 1440p. You should get a lot more return than upgrading the cpu at this point, plus when you get money saved up you could upgrade that cpu to a 5800x3d and get the rest of the performance from your new gpu.
@@PCBuilderChannel Thank you! It shouldn’t b tht hard lol I’m jus using it for gaming! 1080p and a lil bit of 1440! Been trying to send u my build list I don’t know what’s going on.
I just bought and installed that same Sapphire Pulse 6700 XT to pair with a Ryzen 5 7600 for my 1440p build. I am absolutely loving the performance. Free Starfield Premium included? YES PLEASE!
I'm looking for a GPU right now and sadly i can't decide... What confuses me is that many people recommend AMD, specifically this RX 6700xt or the RX 6800. I don't doubt these are very good cards but how come the majority of people, even several of those recommending AMD, actually have NVIDIA at their home build.
Bad suggestions, 6800 is a VERY good card and comfortably beats the 3070. I owned the 6800 before and it was awesome, very power efficient and thus very cool even when gaming...can also be overclocked to 6800 xt stock perf levels 😊 I would be very of Intel until at least next gen
Great video and loved the enthusiasm! However the ssd suggestions weren’t good. The difference between a good SSD and a bad one these days are trivial. Dramless ssds are ok for light use but once you put an OS and some games on it the 10 bucks saved really aren’t worth it.

About Asrock VA monitor: Most VA monitors have black smearing that is very noticeable and real deal breaker. I don t know if this AsRock monitor is the same, but price wise i would say yes.
Can you create like recommended parts per category? Most stores in my area, the cheap ASRock boards are not available. For B550, it's the MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI. Kind of similar goal with the cultists PSU list.. but categorized by the target res: 1080p, 1440p, 4k etc
Check out the best motherboards etc videos. PC Part Picker also has that functionality. I tend to filter parts by chipset and a five-star review. Then order the results by price.
I'm also gonna build my first pc around the end of this year. Or maybe the Q1 of next year with a budget of around $700. I was thinking of a build similar to the first one except getting a cheaper GPU. Maybe an rx 6700 or 6650xt as I'm only gonna do gaming on 1080p. I'm just hoping that the price of am5 platform will come down around the next year. With the newer generation of amd and Intel gpus releasing at *fingers crossed* reasonable prices. I'm just wishing I'll have better options.
@Jason u should look at our GPU Prices cuz in the U.S. they re a lot lower especially with the Bonus Codes on lets say amazon and all the other Stores etc. Almost every Highend CPU costs more in Europe. Ur GPU DOLLAR Prices are our EURO Prices. For example the cheapest RTX 4090 costs almost 1600 Euro and the cheapest 7900 XTX is 950 Euro.
Frustrating! Though we do have a Spain build in this video that we do use Euro prices for. I know its not the same in every market. Sending good wishes for lower prices!
What do you say about that build: Ryzen 5 7600x/ Ryzen 7 7700x Geforce RTX 3080 Suprim X MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk Wifi Bequiet Dark Power Pro 750 Platinum Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB 6000Mhz CL36 Crucial P3 Plus 1TB, I will get another SSD soon, but 1TB is enough for me rn NZXT H7 Flow
Jason. I've enjoyed your content and getting familiar with the process of PC building. I'm doing my first build and I decided to go with the $1000 build you break down in the episode. I did notice the box for the Sapphire RX 6700 XT calls for a minimum system power supply of 650 Watts. Should I be concerned about the selected Apevia being a little below spec?
So glad you've been enjoying! Hop over to our Best PSU 2022 video for more on how we think about wattage on the channel. Then you can double check what you need for your full build by following the method there
Interesting video, i learn a lot from it. I live in china and there is a saying or like an idea among the diy community "spend no more than 200RMB on your computer case " 200rmb is roughly like 28 dollars. With that budget you still have a pretty wide range of case choices. Now of couse for the high end budget builds you don't care about spending way over 28 dollars on computer case. It's just very interesting how some of the components are way more expensive in us than in china, and some other components like gpu is the other way around.😂
Hi! Will an rx 6600 be enough to play Starfield? A brand new rx 6600 comes with it and from the recommended specs it looks like it will barely do it. I also want to play Minecraft with some light mods, GTA V online with mods, ETS2, Cities skylines 2, fortnite with medium settings and a couple more titles. I wanted to know if it will last me at the minimum least 3 years in those titles with an i3 12100f and 16gb of ram at 1080p. Thanks to anyone who responds to this!
You always recommend the gigabyte m27q-p the only one in my region is the gigabyte g27q, is it good, it costs about the same as the m27q before it went out of stock
Looking for some help please-I want to play Starfield, but I want to upgrade my GPU-I'm really not sure how to figure out stuff like upgrading. It looks like I'm in the right place! Here is my current specs: Motherboard- ROG Strix Z490-E CPU- Intel I7-10700K 1000 Watt Power Supply GPU- Geforce 1080 Founders Edition 32 Gig Ram I'm not worried about budget-I want to upgrade to the best GPU my other equipment will handle. Also-I'm gaming in 1440P Any help will be greatly appreciated!
It will be a few more years until I venture into a 1440p build, when I do it will consist of two new 24" monitors/ faster CPU than the RYZEN 5 3600XT I have now/ and faster GPU than the 3060 12GB card I recently purchased. Everything else will be fine so I can spend more money on those items.
@ PC Builder/Jason what if the person with the first build wanted the 750 watt psu to upgrade to a better card later?? and also the minimum requirement for the 6700 XT is 650watt why would you go below min spec for the card!??
What Ty said! To send in a list make sure you are publicly subscribed to the channel and keep an eye out for our community post in September if you still need help then (:
Hi Jason, thanks for another cool video, because of you I was able to build my dream gaming pc, finally! I went for a ryzen 7700x, msi b650-p wifi, challenger asrock radeon 6750 xt, 32gb ddr5 cl 36. Upon finishing the build and enjoying the gaming in 1440p I noticed that there is a new mobo bios updgrade available, I think it was releases less then a month ago and seems that fixes expo problems (which I didn’t experience), question for you, should I upgrade the bios or leave as is?
For you that is reading this and have the Sapphire pulse 5700XT 12GB in your cart BUY IT NOW if you can, i tried 3 times yesterday and its selling like hotcakes in newegg because of the discount had to wait for backorders, by today the discount expired but the price still good with starfield bundled buy it now until it goes out of stock with that bundle definitely
Another great Boost my build video Jason. My updates on my build. I am aplogizing if this is too long. First off I want to talk about the ram situation. I bought 3 different rams I fist bought the Gskill ram ddr4 16gb 3600 cl6 only one stick got to 3600mhz I tried disabling the XMP nothing. I returned those and got a different ram same thing 3600mhz cl6 same exact problem, I reutuned those. I was not going to give up, I tried one more set of ram same thing. I was going off of what it said on the Amazon wedsite at first. Then I really stated to do my home work this board only goes to 3200nhz which is weird. I needed to vent that out. my specs PSU I went with a 800 watts Apevia because of the deal it had at the time. GPU: RX6750XT I stuck witht he ram ddr4 3200mhz cl16 32gb CPU I still have the Ryzen 5 2600 I a, crossed between going to Micro Center and just go get the Ryzen 5 5600 and get a Mobo too just revamp the entie PC. But the dilemma is if I switch the board I might as well go DDR5 AM5 it would make sense. What is you guys opinion especially Jason....Also, I went with 2tb NVME
With the Ryzen 2600 it is unlikely you'll get DDR4 3600 CL16 (or really any 3600 RAM) to run due to limitations on the CPU's memory controller rather than the board. Could be a trace issue on the board, could be that with a better sampled 2600 it would work, but clearly it isn't going to. 3200 CL16 will be fine at 1440p. I'd try switching just the CPU first, remember to update the board's bios before you remove the 2600. Also use DDU uninstaller to remove the CPU chipset just before you shut it down for the last time (use the "remove and shut down option"). See how that goes. Hope that helps!
@PCBuilderChannel ok, I'll try that. I had issues installing it before. I think I had to go into safe mode. Wow, the cpu has something to do with the ram? I thought it was just the board
I'm wondering if it's be with it waiting for the 7700xt or 7800xt when thinking about upgrading to the 6800. It's hard to know since AMD hasn't learned how to price their new GPUs
I am building 2 Ryzen 5 3600 with a RX 580 8GB for my nieces (10yr twins) I am going to use a B550 matx so I can upgrade later to gen4 graphics card as they get older and don't leave anything at the performance table. I am told they play roadblocks and mind craft at this point. I need this a cheap as I can build. The PX248 (119usd version) looks good enough for them. Thier much older brother plays simulators at 1080p with the 3060 12GB.
Check out our $600 1440p build from our Best build July video as that will give great performance. I don't think you're missing anything by going PCIE gen 3 and in fact saving a lot of money that can be used on the GPU instead.
Great video series i love how you explain everything and im really looking forward to buy a ryzen 6 7600 build as youve shown in a previous video im not sure where i can suggest anything but i wanted to ask what the best possssible combination i can get for 1400 max 1600 dollars thats mainly focused on gaming ?
Very glad and surprised you took a look at the Spanish market! Would it be worth to downgrade from the 6800 to the 6700xt for a 135€ discount? It would make easier to upgrade the monitor because honestly, 27 inch 1080p VA panel doesn't sound like a good match to a high fps 1440p system. Selling the old CPU, GPU and monitor for 150€, adding the 135€ saved on the GPU would let him get an Asus Tuf VG27AQ which is a good 1440p IPS monitor.
Im binge watching all of the series cause my upgrade is finally around the corner (about one month). This will be my second build ever and the first was a 700€ budget build 5 or so years ago still with a RX 580 installed. Now with a job and therefore money in hand im planing to upgrade to a high end amd build with a 7900xtx and a 7800x3d at around 2000-2500€ while i do have some knowledge im deff not the best so if you or someone from the community could look over the list and possibly fix some issues that would be awesome. If it helps im going for a black design with the wood fom the fractal north case and basically no rgb exept maby the fans i have rn. And im locatet in germany if thats important. All help is appreciated (ill put the link in when im back on my pc)
alright thx for the info will do, tho it does say the post isnt for individual builds tho i dont mind waiting dor th enext boost my build community post now that i know where they are@@kelley09162

Im also making microATX build, when you mentioned the PSU I was wondering if a RM750e would fit into the Cooler Master Q300L? would anyone know? thanks
@PCBuilderChannel you're very correct, I may have accidentally spent $310 on that motherboard, but I watched your updated motherboard video and plan on using one of those for my next build!
😳😳😳 didn’t know that I have the gygabite GA AB350 gaming 3 fully updated. Built this one originally with a RX580 and then around 2 years ago updated to a 3070. I was doing se research (including your videos) well I’m not sure if I should build a new one this year or perhaps go with a 4080… but for sure my R7 1700 will bottleneck it
I have a 10yo gigabyte MB 16gig ram {max allowed} 2TB SSD, i7 intel but only a 740 GPU with 2gig. as a content creator I can view 4k files ok on the 4K monitor but playing them without proxying them in Videostudeo is a nightmare. Is it just the GPU or would I have to upgrade? regards Tony Australia
Probably both the cpu and gpu really. Since your MB is 10 years old, that makes both the cpu and gpu pretty dated (same with the ram). Even a basic laptop with only integrated graphics will work better (it's what I use with video editing) so it's probably time for you to upgrade.
I'm encountering an unusual problem while gaming. Despite disabling notifications, I'm hearing the notification sound randomly. Strangely, when this happens, if I press any movement key like W, A, S, or D and then remove my finger from the button, my character continues to move on its own. How can I troubleshoot and resolve this perplexing issue?

In regards to ram. My x79 was in service until last year (around Aug). It had 64gb of ddr3 1800 (quad channel clocked to 1600 due to stability). It was ok. Having 64gb of ram means things like you can make a ram disk when you need to or your system will buffer disk reads/writes more effectively. It will make a system feel smooth for a long time. It's also handy for virtualization if you need it :)
A build thats a lot of generations back maybe intel 8th with a decent enough gpu( If possible 8gb),Mainly free Epic games and Steam games(Maybe some risky website ones too).
And I still use a 2nd gen 2100 intel cpu with 10gb ddr3 ram and a 120gb SATA SSD build and for more than 10 years
I bought Win 10 home yesterday for my new computer
Currently on a 5600 and 3060. I noticed on HUB’s scaling video that the 4090 offers barely an improvement over a 6950xt if paired with a 5600. If I were to only upgrade the gpu, would a 4070/6800xt offer much uplift? Or if I should wait until I’m upgrading the whole platform which could be a while away. I game at 1080p 75hz. Sometimes games dip below 60fps despite not running ultra nor ray tracing
@@NGreediathat's crazy. How come your fps dip below 60 with 5600 and rtx 3060 ?

About the last build:
Keep in mind that VAT(value added tax) in Spain is 21%. Most of the EU is around 20% and all prices in EU are displayed with tax included (what you see is what you pay).
I've heard in the US it's around 7...10% and even have states with 0 purchase tax.
Only 5 states don’t have a sales tax, and to my knowledge they pay taxes in their local municipalities
Depends on the state in the us, washington is nuts at like 9% or smth. Then u got Alaska with 0-1%
@@taureaurouge3315in Oregon there’s no sales tax on anything period. The property taxes are wild though
Great builds. The bitfenix micro atx case somes with 3 argb fans not 4. I believe the atx tower has 4. Just built in the bitfenix micro case and was a great case
Darn it! Thanks for sharing. I'll update in the pinned comment
I've finally earned the money for my new PC! It wasn't easy, (I worked at a waterpark at 10.50 USD an hour before I even started high school) but I will finally be able to pursue my dreams! Thank you so much for your content, not only has it provided motivation, but it also gave me the useful information to help me build my pc! Thanks!
This is what we love to hear--congrats! So glad that we could provide helpful content. Good luck with the build and thanks for watching! :)
Spain seems to be in the sweet spot of pricing, they have a lot of tech stores available whereas some other countries in the EU don't have as many options. We have to either resort to importing from Germany or other countries, or stick with the overpriced stuff locally, and the supplies are very limited too. A lot of the budget/mid tier items aren't even in stock currently. Thought I'd share, don't mean to disrespect or anything! Love your content, and thank you for helping your community with the boost guides! Best wishes to you and your family!❤
Frustrating! Thank you for sharing. Best wishes to you and yours too!
I just bought a PC (I chose the parts they just build it) on memoryPc (German website) it cost me 2k euros if i wanted the same config in France I would have to add at least an another 500-600 euros
When you buy components in France, they often come from Spain and Italy.
I think most people in Europe do not know that U.S. prices do not have VAT included. It is just nothing you come across in the EU.
Not knowing prices exluded tax, I used to think tech prices were significantly lower in the U.S.
Right now I am under the impression that the prices, at least here in Germany, are either competitive or a good bit lower.
Would be interesting to know why though. One big thing that comes to mind is that it is still very unusual to take up debt for buying tech items. That makes customers more hesitant to buy and might be forcing retail to make prices more attractive.
There's a difference in import taxes, overhead costs (warehouse, shipping, etc), and also there's what the companies think they can charge in those locales!
Finally another boost my build!
Its here!!!
@@PCBuilderChannelhey, not sure why i didnt think abt downgrading the CPU From 5600x to 5600 cus it's $30 less Here, the ram and ssd i Can definitely find cheaper than what they Are. Im talking abt the prebuilt From few days ago, so i might be able to get a bit better GPU and then let the shop assemble it, i don't think they charge alot. Makes alot more sense
I'm already planning my final build for a while, as i have like 10 PCs in my fleet 😅 I'm kinda forced to stay on AM4 because of the motherboard i bought, and i really don't want to deal with the hassle of selling it. I'm practically going all the way here- high fps 1440p. CPU I'm thinking 5800X3D; still debating on a cooler... may go AIO but i don't know...GPU: maybe 7900XT? I kinda want to see what the 7800 will be like, assuming it comes out. RAM, I'm going with 3600 CL16. Tentatively setting a budget of $1440, but my birthday is in about a month and a half, so i might get a boost.
Sorry for the ramble... 😅
7800XT is probably too expensive at first, better to go RTX4070, you don't need the 16GB. Definitely wait for the announcement soon at gamescon. 5800X3D is a good choice, and so is the 5600X3D, for AM4.
I'll wait and see what the 7700/7800 will offer. Right now I'm not in any hurry to get the GPU, though I will consider your suggestion. :) Probably wont get anything major until around Black Friday.
Radeon 7700xt will be best price-to- performance card, hands down.

Great video again Jason 🤩👍! It’s actually great to see non-US residents getting some vg deals too which is often a disappointment for many pc gamers 😢not getting throw away pc prices and more budget friendly upgrade options.
So glad you enjoyed Michael! Yes I was happy to do one from Spain this time. Also fyi we got the channel member discord started so you can check that out!
I have started recommending SSD heatsinks in cases where the motherboard does not come with one. This is especially true for content creators/video editors which is the first use case in boost my build. The SSDs quickly heat up and thermal throttle. It's not a big concern for gamers where it's random read/write. With aftermarket SSD heatsinks being so cheap less than $10. It's worth it.
Even if they come with some, the more affordable boards often just come with a chunk of more or less flat metal and a thermal pad that is almost not even worth being called that.
They are good for dragging some initial heat out, but then getting stuck as they are bad at dissipating it and are often so flat to the board and on top of that right above or even completely covered by GPUs, that they are without any airflow worth mentioning or rightaway sit in a hotbox.
They help a little tho, but you can still get them to throttle at some points with them.
Thats why i switched the top on on my X570 Aorus Pro to a "Acidalie M.2 SSD heatsink with Double Layer Aluminum and 4 Copper Heat Pipes Cooler for M.2 SSD 2280[Black]" for about 20bucks, which dropped temps harshly and holds them consistently much lower and also reaches a bit deeper into the cases (H500M) airflow.
(990Pro 2TB had up to 65°C on the NAND and 75°C on the controller, now its in the low 50s at worst and mostly, if not under full load for long or in benchmarks, its comfortably in the 40s)
A good and a little flatter, maybe more aesthetically pleasing alternative is the Sabrent M.2 Cooler (Model SB-HTSK) for also just about 20Bucks and it'll perform almost as good as the Acidalie one.
The second one under the GPU got switched to the Be Quiet! MC1 for just 12bucks as the MC1 Pro (about 15bucks) was just a tad to high to fit under biggus chungus RTX3080 Aorus Master 12Gig with all that shroud around, but that still cut about 10°C of my 4TB Lexar NM790 compared to the standard chunk of flat metal.
Also on most of them, you dont even need to change the included pads, as they perform very well.
If you dont get really good ones, you could even lose performance with replacement pads.
This is also why I love cases like the O11D series. Having a bottom set of intake fans really helps my second SSD stay below 50 degrees C. And that’s with the motherboard SSD heatsink that came with my mobo.
@@Iridiumcosmos
Yeah that is indeed an advantage, as long the GPU isnt to fat and gets to hot, so that the air can actually get behind and out again.^^
With an 80°C 420Watt max Heat Monster like my 4Slot GPU even the bottom fans woul've had a hard time getting this NVME cooled, when hot air is being blasted at it.
And i have to make a correction, i redid the MC1 Pro with a little more pressure, to fit it to the "singlesided" notches for the screws and it worked! :)
Not *much* of a difference, but a difference no less.
Now she idles at about the same temps as the GPU with 45-50°C on the Nand and 40-45 on the Controller, while being completely covered in a hot box.
Phanteks NV7 looks interesting tho...especially with their new D30 Fans...30mill thicc 170m³/h Airflow and a goddarn 7.something mm H2O Pressure... and thats just the 120mill, no 140's yet. 🤩
But for now, my H500M will do..^^
This is literally not a thing.

Hi jason
I'm looking forward to building my first gaming pc.
I've chosen a list of parts that I think are capable of running visually appealing games at 1440p max graphics with 144fps ishh gameplay.
I still haven't picked the right monitor for my setup because of the various types of monitors on the market so I would be happy to hear your recommendations first and I would also love to hear any improvements or feedback on my parts of choice.
If you want to post your list in the August Community Post I can take a look and should also be able to recommend a Monitor.
Hello! Thats awesome! And you can check out our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor 2023 video for lots of great monitor recommendations. There are some good deals right now.

Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying the channel! We're growing fast and appreciate the support.
Can confirm the Apevia Prestige 600w is coming with black cables now. Just ordered one for my wife's system last week and it looks great!
Still have an older Apevia Prestige Warlock 1050W I used to use for the main rig from 2019-2023 before I upgraded GPUs (7900XTX went with a stronger model to have power off each rail to the GPU). The cables are also black on that one. I think a lot of the premium models are okay with them, just check the psu tier list. Am glad it worked out. Price to performance for that 600w model looks good.
Thank you!
Without a doubt my favorite tech youtuber. Super informative while being incredibly entertaining, no shade on hardware unboxed and gamers nexus but they are often very lets say "calming"
Their content is quite a bit different. Jason is more of an entry-level informer to the general public, while HU and GN are the big boys you graduate to when you know your stuff, and are now interested in detailed benchmarks and deep-dives.
So glad you are enjoying! Thank you for the feedback. HU and GN are wonderful channels so I'm glad to be counted with them (:
Suggest to go with **Bitfenix Nova Mesh SE TG case** for budget builds. The SE - Second Edition - model comes with 4 ARGB fans and a fan controller preinstalled even at a budget case price at $59 USD. They continue to make improvements on this model - most recently, they changed to standard thumbscrews for the glass side panel (abandoning the prior grommeted versions). Just make sure to check the GPU length clearance, as this is a somewhat small case. Note: Probably not the case to use if going with an AIO.
My kids now walk around the house saying “hi. I’m Jason”

I have Deepcool case and is bad for air flow. I did remove frontal part and added some magnetic dust filter in front of the vents.

Hi Jason. Your video is a superb example of how to produce a video. It shows the difference between a great and a so-so video. The difference was simple: A black cat walking on your desk.
The black cat is key! (;
I would go with the 6800xt. I'm running a 6800xt reference with a ryzen 5600 on an asus b550 powered by a corsair 550w cx550f (on the b tier) without issue. I play demanding games like cyberpunk at 4k day and night. The power graph shows around 350w-ish under load. A 650w ps leaves a lot of head room.
What fps do u avg? I’m going from a “970 + 2600” to a “6700xt + 5900x” and wanna gauge what I might get close to.
Ik the 6800xt is a lot better, but 320$ is a good deal imo.
NOX I believe is a Spanish brand of psus. I own a 680w NOX Sonar that I bought on my first build (i5 760) when I was living in Spain back in 2010! I rebuilt in 2015 with a i5 6600k and kept the same PSU. To this day that PSU is running perfectly well, only once I had to remove the fan little cap and add some multipurpose oil. I made a new build 2 months ago and replaced with an EVGA but that NOX is still running fine on now my mother's pc. Runs perfectly today after 13 years!
Thanks for sharing!
*on power*
Just FYI, but with an R9-3900x + RTX4070 system I use usually no more than 325 Watts when gaming. I do recommend at least 50% extra for spikes on the Graphics card (calculated based on graphics card power draw not total system), AND I recommend looking at the FAN PROFILE to see where the fans ramp up (can be hard to find depending on the PSU model). My rule-of-thumb is aim for a PSU where you draw about 60% of the power. In my case that would be roughly 550W but due to the difference in PRICE for considering QUALITY models of PSU I just went with a quality 750W. So I don't ever hear the fan. Some PSU's you can hear the fan even though it's barely drawing power so don't cheap out and do a little research.
Keep in mind that if you pick up the Bitfenix nova mesh case and a matx motherboard. The motherboard will block some of the cut out for wire management. its only a headache to build in the first time.
I think that’s just a cheap case thing. All of the cases I’ve built pcs in have been 20-40$ and they all suck for cable management.
Thanks for sharing!
Huh, I'm running 12700k with a 6800 XT and it runs just fine with my 650w psu. Even during stress test while monitoring power draw, it was perfectly fine as well. Though I did still under volt my GPU a little after as precaution, but with a 5600, it'll run perfectly fine. The rest of components doesn't draw that much power anyways.
Ps: I know 12700k is over kill but there was a microcenter bundle deal several months back that was too good to pass up.
Be careful the RX6800 and the Deepcool case are sold by 3rd party sellers that's why the prices are low !
If you're gonna buy new you should buy from official resellers especially in the case of the RX6800 so that you can get your Starfield Premium Edition key that you will not get if you buy from 3rd party sellers.
Heads up, Amazon only gives you the standard edition, pretty sure. Thats what I got with the 7800x3d.
@@cosmiccarp5030 CPUs only give you the Standard and GPUs starting from the 6700xt give you the Premium.
Edit: Actually in the CPUs only the R9s get you the premium. But yeah bit weird that the 7800x3d only gets you the Standard.
1tb 970 evo plus is 42 eur in the eu on amazon
I love how much energy he puts out. Amazing
I truly love helping with builds! (:
6:08 I would honestly consider keeping that 750W PSU, it will come handy when you wanna upgrade your graphics card in the future and you won't have to upgrade it again.
That PSU is also ATX 3.0 PCIE 5.0 compatible so it comes with a 12vhpwr cable in the box and has a 7 year warranty. That Apevia unit has neither. I have the 1000W version and I'm very happy with it.
16:40 I got 6800 xt with 5600x, both overclocked and they work well with the 650w PSU.
I would would go with the 299.00 MicroCenters 5600X3D bundle over what you picked out.
The ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus WiFi II MB is way better than the Gigabyte 450. The bundle MB has 2 NVE slots 6 SATA Ports PCIe 4.0 and Dual antenna WiFi. + it has the 5600X3D which destroys the 5600x in games.
A fantastic deal, if you live near a Microcenter, and if you can get it! The 5600x3D is fantastic. But it's an incredibly limited release!
If you can grab that, its a good option too!
@@Jono793 Its like 70 miles from me and we did a road trip was a riot at the store. The people there actually know PCs well they are fellow enthusiasts. Got two of them for 299.00 each. The 7600 was like 200.00 more for around the same performance in games and much more for 64 gigs ram. For productivity not doing anything heavy duty my old hex was fast enough so it was not a factor. And I don't think I have ever updated the cpu in any system in 30 years so future proofing will be DDR6 system down the road.
Nice change, but budget va panels have horrendous black smearing, if u cant notice it ur lucky, but if u can notice its very distracting. Paying a bit more for a budget ips is worth the money
Jason, once again another Stellar BMB
I'm building a 4k ultrawide setup with RTX 4090, 7800X3D, B650 AORUS PRO, AK620, Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32, Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0, Pop XL Air, and Thermaltake GF3 TT Premium 1200 W.
Do you see any egregious issues? Specifically cooling, mother or memory?
Thanks for all your hard work.
Hi Jason, just a quick reminder for your B450 upgrade recommendation - B450 has one m.2 nvme and one m.2 SATA slot. B550 boards had one gen 3 and one gen 4 nvme. So while the owner might have a free slot on their B450 , it's kinda hard to find m.2 SATA drives now so it'd be a case of upgrading the existing nvme drive and maybe adding a 2.5" SATA SSD to replace the hard drive?
Great boosts on the upgrade build. You should be able to resale the gpu, cpu and maybe even the psu to get enough cash to but a budget 1440p monitor. Awesome content as always
Thanks fellow Jason!
@@PCBuilderChannelI have a quick question I have a 5600g with a 6600xt I want to upgrade for the holidays is it better to upgrade the GPU for 1440p or upgrade to ryzen 7600? Would really help thanks
@@daurinalvarez5302 so since you're already on AM4 I could go 5800X3D but only if you could also upgrade the GPU.
@@daurinalvarez5302 It depends:
Do you play high-FPS competitive games, or single-player high-settings games?
If you play competitively and want 120+ FPS at 1080p, upgrade the CPU. The 7600 will be able to push way more frames for you (you do need a monitor that'd show them too, if you don't have it)... But you will have to upgrade the motherboard too. GPU upgrade wouldn't do anything for you here, since you'll be mostly CPU limited.
If you play single-player though, and want to be able to up the resolution and quality settings in games, upgrade your GPU. Thing is, I wouldn't recommend upgrading to less than an rx 6800 or a 4070. Anything less and the difference you'd feel would not be worth your money, so you'd be better off waiting for the RX 7700 or 7800 to release AND drop in price, or for the 4070 to drop to at least $500 (that's gonna be a long while.)
Upgrading the CPU if you play single-player titles would be pointless as well. You might reduce some stuttering, and might be able to increase like... The amount of NPCs, perhaps... But your GPU is most likely the main limiting factor there.
@daurinalvarez5302 You could run a faster gpu with your 5600g. You might have some bottlenecking, but won't be as bad at 1440p. You should get a lot more return than upgrading the cpu at this point, plus when you get money saved up you could upgrade that cpu to a 5800x3d and get the rest of the performance from your new gpu.

@@PCBuilderChannel Thank you! It shouldn’t b tht hard lol I’m jus using it for gaming! 1080p and a lil bit of 1440! Been trying to send u my build list I don’t know what’s going on.
I just bought and installed that same Sapphire Pulse 6700 XT to pair with a Ryzen 5 7600 for my 1440p build. I am absolutely loving the performance. Free Starfield Premium included? YES PLEASE!
Nice!
I just picked up a few of those MSI M.2 1TB drives. The prices are to good to pass up.
RIGHT??? :)
I got ordered two from GameStop but they refused to ship it because of it being$25...sad day
I'm looking for a GPU right now and sadly i can't decide... What confuses me is that many people recommend AMD, specifically this RX 6700xt or the RX 6800.
I don't doubt these are very good cards but how come the majority of people, even several of those recommending AMD, actually have NVIDIA at their home build.
Nvidia is hands down better for productivity, streaming, and high end gaming. Just not worth it for most of us that game at mid to mid-high end range.
Consider Intel ARC A770. Comes with 16gb of VRAM, has enough grunt to play most of the games out there at 1440p.
@@prathmeshpatil6425 Do you own this GPU or are you just recommending it?
@@JayTeeGR I own it.
Bad suggestions, 6800 is a VERY good card and comfortably beats the 3070. I owned the 6800 before and it was awesome, very power efficient and thus very cool even when gaming...can also be overclocked to 6800 xt stock perf levels 😊
I would be very of Intel until at least next gen
Great video and loved the enthusiasm! However the ssd suggestions weren’t good. The difference between a good SSD and a bad one these days are trivial. Dramless ssds are ok for light use but once you put an OS and some games on it the 10 bucks saved really aren’t worth it.
Can I send you my build list and you suggest upgrades for me? I’m literally clueless as to how I can upgrade my performance.

My RX 6700 xt is rocking 2k locked at 75fps at ultra in most of my AAA games. And cap it at 120 with shooters. It's a beast of a card.
Amazing guy and an amazing channel. You make very solid recommendations while explaining why you made those recommendations in a very simple and easy to understand why.
Thanks for the feedback, glad it's so clear and easy! Hope you keep enjoying all the videos :)
Yeah I gotta say it’s nice browsing for products in the EU and seeing the actual “out the door” price instead of having to account for sales taxes as we do in the US.
Yes much easier!!! The Dark Lord approves!

About Asrock VA monitor: Most VA monitors have black smearing that is very noticeable and real deal breaker. I don t know if this AsRock monitor is the same, but price wise i would say yes.
Can you create like recommended parts per category? Most stores in my area, the cheap ASRock boards are not available. For B550, it's the MSI B550M PRO VDH WIFI.
Kind of similar goal with the cultists PSU list.. but categorized by the target res: 1080p, 1440p, 4k etc
Check out the best motherboards etc videos.
PC Part Picker also has that functionality. I tend to filter parts by chipset and a five-star review. Then order the results by price.
I'm also gonna build my first pc around the end of this year. Or maybe the Q1 of next year with a budget of around $700. I was thinking of a build similar to the first one except getting a cheaper GPU. Maybe an rx 6700 or 6650xt as I'm only gonna do gaming on 1080p.
I'm just hoping that the price of am5 platform will come down around the next year. With the newer generation of amd and Intel gpus releasing at *fingers crossed* reasonable prices. I'm just wishing I'll have better options.
@Jason u should look at our GPU Prices cuz in the U.S. they re a lot lower especially with the Bonus Codes on lets say amazon and all the other Stores etc. Almost every Highend CPU costs more in Europe. Ur GPU DOLLAR Prices are our EURO Prices. For example the cheapest RTX 4090 costs almost 1600 Euro and the cheapest 7900 XTX is 950 Euro.
Frustrating! Though we do have a Spain build in this video that we do use Euro prices for. I know its not the same in every market. Sending good wishes for lower prices!
What do you say about that build:
Ryzen 5 7600x/ Ryzen 7 7700x
Geforce RTX 3080 Suprim X
MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk Wifi
Bequiet Dark Power Pro 750 Platinum
Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB
Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB 6000Mhz CL36
Crucial P3 Plus 1TB, I will get another SSD soon, but 1TB is enough for me rn
NZXT H7 Flow
Jason. I've enjoyed your content and getting familiar with the process of PC building. I'm doing my first build and I decided to go with the $1000 build you break down in the episode. I did notice the box for the Sapphire RX 6700 XT calls for a minimum system power supply of 650 Watts. Should I be concerned about the selected Apevia being a little below spec?
So glad you've been enjoying! Hop over to our Best PSU 2022 video for more on how we think about wattage on the channel. Then you can double check what you need for your full build by following the method there
Thanks very much Jason. Question for you. I have 1 nvme 500g , 1 ssd 500g 4t hdd, 64g ram, box , 1080 monitor, whats the best gpu for todays games?
Interesting video, i learn a lot from it. I live in china and there is a saying or like an idea among the diy community "spend no more than 200RMB on your computer case " 200rmb is roughly like 28 dollars. With that budget you still have a pretty wide range of case choices. Now of couse for the high end budget builds you don't care about spending way over 28 dollars on computer case. It's just very interesting how some of the components are way more expensive in us than in china, and some other components like gpu is the other way around.😂
I'd love your recommendations for building a computer to run sim racing games exclusively, triple 1440 monitors, and mid-level price range.
Check out our recent Best 1440p Gaming Monitors video, we go over some recommendations on system power there for multiple monitors.
Hi! Will an rx 6600 be enough to play Starfield? A brand new rx 6600 comes with it and from the recommended specs it looks like it will barely do it. I also want to play Minecraft with some light mods, GTA V online with mods, ETS2, Cities skylines 2, fortnite with medium settings and a couple more titles. I wanted to know if it will last me at the minimum least 3 years in those titles with an i3 12100f and 16gb of ram at 1080p. Thanks to anyone who responds to this!
You always recommend the gigabyte m27q-p the only one in my region is the gigabyte g27q, is it good, it costs about the same as the m27q before it went out of stock
get rx 6700 xt which is current price/perfomance king or wait for rx 7700 xt which should be revealed soon?
Our GPU Market update video is coming tomorrow and we talk A LOT about this!
Looking for some help please-I want to play Starfield, but I want to upgrade my GPU-I'm really not sure how to figure out stuff like upgrading. It looks like I'm in the right place! Here is my current specs:
Motherboard- ROG Strix Z490-E
CPU- Intel I7-10700K
1000 Watt Power Supply
GPU- Geforce 1080 Founders Edition
32 Gig Ram
I'm not worried about budget-I want to upgrade to the best GPU my other equipment will handle. Also-I'm gaming in 1440P
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I seriously thought everyone had ditched the 580 8gb, avoided everything nvidia and upgraded to the 6700xt or (my latest upgrade) 7800 xt.
Not yet (;
It will be a few more years until I venture into a 1440p build, when I do it will consist of two new 24" monitors/ faster CPU than the RYZEN 5 3600XT I have now/ and faster GPU than the 3060 12GB card I recently purchased. Everything else will be fine so I can spend more money on those items.
@ PC Builder/Jason what if the person with the first build wanted the 750 watt psu to upgrade to a better card later?? and also the minimum requirement for the 6700 XT is 650watt why would you go below min spec for the card!??
You can. The Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 Snow - TT Premium 750 W is $85 after $15 MIR.
You should look at a Norwegian PCPP list. The prices and retailers are so broken!
Frustrating!
Yoo go Jason! Nice to see Mr. Bear! ❤
Thank you! Mr Bear says hello (:
Hey Jason, i missed this boost my build submission. When will the next submission be?
In September, but feel free to post yours in the August Community Post and I can take a look.

Hi Jason, thanks for another cool video, because of you I was able to build my dream gaming pc, finally!
I went for a ryzen 7700x, msi b650-p wifi, challenger asrock radeon 6750 xt, 32gb ddr5 cl 36.
Upon finishing the build and enjoying the gaming in 1440p I noticed that there is a new mobo bios updgrade available, I think it was releases less then a month ago and seems that fixes expo problems (which I didn’t experience), question for you, should I upgrade the bios or leave as is?
That's awesome to hear man! I've got a 5800x3d and a 6750xt personally with 32gb ddr4 lpx ram. Got my cpu for vr mainly because of the l3 cache
oh no... definitely gotta rise up to 7900 XT... it's a beautiful thing & has been an insane deal
For you that is reading this and have the Sapphire pulse 5700XT 12GB in your cart BUY IT NOW if you can, i tried 3 times yesterday and its selling like hotcakes in newegg because of the discount had to wait for backorders, by today the discount expired but the price still good with starfield bundled buy it now until it goes out of stock with that bundle definitely
we need a cat case build
OMG YES!
Yes, please! 😻
Nice, been waiting a while for a new ep!
Hope you enjoyed!
Man, I just got a Rx 6700 xt used like new, in a country where you can't find them new for USD 330, I couldn't be happier
Nice!!
nice my new pc will have the asrock pro 4 with the 5800x i was able to grab that mobo for $99 at microcenter
Another great Boost my build video Jason. My updates on my build. I am aplogizing if this is too long. First off I want to talk about the ram situation. I bought 3 different rams I fist bought the Gskill ram ddr4 16gb 3600 cl6 only one stick got to 3600mhz I tried disabling the XMP nothing. I returned those and got a different ram same thing 3600mhz cl6 same exact problem, I reutuned those. I was not going to give up, I tried one more set of ram same thing. I was going off of what it said on the Amazon wedsite at first. Then I really stated to do my home work this board only goes to 3200nhz which is weird. I needed to vent that out.
my specs PSU I went with a 800 watts Apevia because of the deal it had at the time. GPU: RX6750XT I stuck witht he ram ddr4 3200mhz cl16 32gb CPU I still have the Ryzen 5 2600 I a, crossed between going to Micro Center and just go get the Ryzen 5 5600 and get a Mobo too just revamp the entie PC. But the dilemma is if I switch the board I might as well go DDR5 AM5 it would make sense. What is you guys opinion especially Jason....Also, I went with 2tb NVME
With the Ryzen 2600 it is unlikely you'll get DDR4 3600 CL16 (or really any 3600 RAM) to run due to limitations on the CPU's memory controller rather than the board. Could be a trace issue on the board, could be that with a better sampled 2600 it would work, but clearly it isn't going to. 3200 CL16 will be fine at 1440p. I'd try switching just the CPU first, remember to update the board's bios before you remove the 2600. Also use DDU uninstaller to remove the CPU chipset just before you shut it down for the last time (use the "remove and shut down option"). See how that goes. Hope that helps!
@PCBuilderChannel ok, I'll try that. I had issues installing it before. I think I had to go into safe mode. Wow, the cpu has something to do with the ram? I thought it was just the board
When you feel like your next PC build needs a lifeline, PC Builder has you covered.
Perfect (:
I'm wondering if it's be with it waiting for the 7700xt or 7800xt when thinking about upgrading to the 6800. It's hard to know since AMD hasn't learned how to price their new GPUs
It is hard! We will talk about this more in our GPU Market Update coming tomorrow so stay tuned
nahh ..not that worthy
Don't do it. You best bet is to just buy a rx6700 for $280 and wait for the rx8800 or rtx 5070
I am building 2 Ryzen 5 3600 with a RX 580 8GB for my nieces (10yr twins) I am going to use a B550 matx so I can upgrade later to gen4 graphics card as they get older and don't leave anything at the performance table. I am told they play roadblocks and mind craft at this point. I need this a cheap as I can build. The PX248 (119usd version) looks good enough for them. Thier much older brother plays simulators at 1080p with the 3060 12GB.
Check out our $600 1440p build from our Best build July video as that will give great performance. I don't think you're missing anything by going PCIE gen 3 and in fact saving a lot of money that can be used on the GPU instead.
Oh, I forgot to mention I have the 2 rx580 cards already. @@PCBuilderChannel
Great video series i love how you explain everything and im really looking forward to buy a ryzen 6 7600 build as youve shown in a previous video
im not sure where i can suggest anything but i wanted to ask what the best possssible combination i can get for 1400 max 1600 dollars thats mainly focused on gaming ?
Check out our 7600 build guide video! Lots of great info for you there. So glad you enjoyed!
I love the "little sister" front.
Great builds, some people really need your help I can see
Glad you enjoyed!
When you go with an aftermarket cooler, shouldn't you also add on the $8-$10 of thermal paste? Or do those things come with some included?
Very glad and surprised you took a look at the Spanish market! Would it be worth to downgrade from the 6800 to the 6700xt for a 135€ discount? It would make easier to upgrade the monitor because honestly, 27 inch 1080p VA panel doesn't sound like a good match to a high fps 1440p system. Selling the old CPU, GPU and monitor for 150€, adding the 135€ saved on the GPU would let him get an Asus Tuf VG27AQ which is a good 1440p IPS monitor.
It probably would. Just note the 7700 XT may be coming out next week though we don't know what price it will be.
Im binge watching all of the series cause my upgrade is finally around the corner (about one month). This will be my second build ever and the first was a 700€ budget build 5 or so years ago still with a RX 580 installed. Now with a job and therefore money in hand im planing to upgrade to a high end amd build with a 7900xtx and a 7800x3d at around 2000-2500€ while i do have some knowledge im deff not the best so if you or someone from the community could look over the list and possibly fix some issues that would be awesome. If it helps im going for a black design with the wood fom the fractal north case and basically no rgb exept maby the fans i have rn. And im locatet in germany if thats important.

This video comes out the the day after I bought one I singlehandedly destroyed the market 💀
It was you!! (;
I've changed my 1070 into 6700 XT and it is a rocket 🚀🚀🚀
Im also making microATX build, when you mentioned the PSU I was wondering if a RM750e would fit into the Cooler Master Q300L? would anyone know? thanks
Please notice me, i really need your help to compare this 2 mobo, Asrock b550m pro4 vs Asrock b550m steel legend which is better?
Curved monitor for video editing good also? Love your videos, every single one of them
That's a personal preference thing. Some people prefer flat for editing. Glad you enjoyed!
Hey Jason, I had asked you if a 4070 Ti and a 7700X were a good pair to which you said yes, but is the MSi MPG B650 Carbon WiFi a good motherboard?
Yes, its kind of overkill but good. Check out our new Best Ryzen Motherboard 2023 video for more!
@PCBuilderChannel you're very correct, I may have accidentally spent $310 on that motherboard, but I watched your updated motherboard video and plan on using one of those for my next build!
Im upgrading my R7 1700 (paired with a 3070 since almost 2 years ago). Thinking about the 14700k or the 7800X3D
If you have a b350 motherboard you could drop in a 5800X3D if the VRMs can handle it. Otherwise you are looking at a new build.
😳😳😳 didn’t know that I have the gygabite GA AB350 gaming 3 fully updated. Built this one originally with a RX580 and then around 2 years ago updated to a 3070. I was doing se research (including your videos) well I’m not sure if I should build a new one this year or perhaps go with a 4080… but for sure my R7 1700 will bottleneck it
Hey Jason this monitor asrock pg27q15r2a is 290$ [with 23% tax] in Poland. Is it still worth buying at this price?
I will get my gpu ( rx6800) at next months 27 do you think I can make it before the prices go crazy? Honest opinion
Me be like when there is a new pc builder video 👨💻
I have a 10yo gigabyte MB 16gig ram {max allowed} 2TB SSD, i7 intel but only a 740 GPU with 2gig. as a content creator I can view 4k files ok on the 4K monitor but playing them without proxying them in Videostudeo is a nightmare. Is it just the GPU or would I have to upgrade? regards Tony Australia
Probably both the cpu and gpu really. Since your MB is 10 years old, that makes both the cpu and gpu pretty dated (same with the ram). Even a basic laptop with only integrated graphics will work better (it's what I use with video editing) so it's probably time for you to upgrade.
@laurinzanon I have one program that only runs on win 7 so I'm stuck till I sell my business that runs on it. But yeah I hear you.
I'm encountering an unusual problem while gaming. Despite disabling notifications, I'm hearing the notification sound randomly. Strangely, when this happens, if I press any movement key like W, A, S, or D and then remove my finger from the button, my character continues to move on its own. How can I troubleshoot and resolve this perplexing issue?
