What do you guys think of this build? I'm not sure it gets much better than this for $1200, and it's amazing to see 1440p-oriented builds become this cheap again 😁
just wanted to say your videos have helped me a lot to pick out, build, and set up my new gaming pc (7800xt, 7600x, 32gb ram)! you really helped simplifying the process of building my pc. and man isn't it much more rewarding to build your own rather than getting someone else to do it:)
@@ChapinTBLifts it's been amazing! So far it has been i've been able to throw anything at it without problem. the most demanding title i currently play is cyberpunk 2077, which i can run at maxed out settings and ray-tracing set to medium with fsr set to quality (or balanced, i don't remember of the dome) and i see 50-60 quite consistently
Is it possible to build everything aside the RAM and put it in last? I've ordered everything and it's been delivered aside the case which is arriving tomorrow and the two RAM sticks arriving Friday
Hello James. I am a 15 year old boy based in Albany, NY. I am very new to PC's having never bought one before and I was thinking about buying all of the parts for your most recent 1200$ PC build. I was wondering if after i buy the PC and build it a boot it up if there is anything I have to di after that like install any software or anything like that or if I can start gaming. I hope you see this and if you respond then thank you so much.
I am upgrading my AMD system, the budget is around $800: - Ryzen 5 2600 -> Ryzen 7 5700X ~ $170 - B350 PC Mate -> B550 Tomahawk ~ $135 - GTX1080 -> RX 7800 XT ~ $500 Are there any better options? Would love to hear eveyone's thought
Please keep on making these 1200 pounds builds. Im planning on building a new pc next Christmas (not this years. 2025 Christmas i will build it) and i wana get the most performance i can get at a £1200 bugget. Also great vid keep it up!
Would you recommend a prebuilt or build it yourself for a first time pc gamer? I wanna get a decent 1080p & 1440p build but not spend an arm & a leg Lol
If you're gonna label the video as "1440p", you should just stick with it and not dabble in showing 1080p gameplay, that's my two cents, good video otherwise
hey guys i’m building my first ever pc, i’m upgrading from an i7 7700k and 1050 2gb here’s what i currently have case - nzxt h5 flow ram - corsair vengeance ddr5 32gb 6000mghz cooler - kraken 280mm elite psu- msi mag 850w storage - kingston 2tb 7000mg read write mobo - msi z790 pro s with intel support here’s what i need, im debating whether to get i5 13600k or the i7 13700k. currently price difference is $100. is it worth going up? here’s the gpu i have my eyes on 4070ti super. if someone could give me input whether this is good or not that would be great! i’ve done extensive research but im still not knowledgeable about parts. budget around $2500-$2700 and this should all fit within!
I eventually want to upgrade my Ryzen 7 3700x and 5700xt to a Ryzen 7thousand and 7700xt, but I don't have the budget atm. Would it be a good idea to get the GPU now and eventually get the rest of the parts?
I am a big fan of your banger videos which have best prices, combos, and bendmarks for everything. Currently I am planning to make a 2000 dollar pc build. It includes a 4070 super, ryzen 5 7600x, 32 gb ram ddr5 corsair vengeance, Samsung 2tb 990 ssd, gigabyte all white motherboard (forgot its name), nzxt h6 flow rgb case, deepcool ls720 se wh liquid cpu cooler, and a corsair rm850 850 w 80+ gold. I am just worried about my compatibility issues and combo… it would be great if you could tell me what I can improve on!
Soooo skimming over the case wires?? I've got this build now finally and have done the cpu, gpu and motherboard cables but completely lost with the case ones. Manuals are useless too!
I Always like most and everything you're content miser the way you talk giving information and tips guides is so clear to understand and its also almost everything is simplified I'm a big faan🎉😄😄
How powerful they are, the 7900 XTX is the most powerful, followed by the XT and finally the GRE. There is no non XT version to my knowledge :) If I was building a 1440p systems I'd buy the GRE, while the 7900 XT and XTX will be better for 4K systems. Hope this helps!
James, can you please stop benchmarking the same games? I get it, ppl love COD, Fortnite, Apex, but please test other games. Horizon Forbidden West just came out, Ghost of Tsushima is coming out next month, Helldivers 2 came out in Feb. test those games.
Do you prefer 2x140mm fans over 3x120mm fans? Also, do you think an mATX motherboard would have been a cheaper and better fit for this case? If you were to stream while gaming, would you need more fans? Lastly, would an AIO be better if you are streaming with this build? Can you please specifically do a 1440p 144hz+ gaming/streaming PC build? Budget, Nice, and Ultra? :)
Hello GeekaWhat, I recently build this exact pc a couple of days ago and I’m having a lot of trouble with the audio. I also watched your wiring beginners video as well, but the audio doesn’t seem to work. I’ve been trying to troubleshoot it all day but nothing seems to work. I’m going go give it a break today and just hope it’s either, a. My two monitors don’t have speakers or, b. The headphones I was using are not compatible with the pc. If you could reach out and possibly help that would be great! Keep up the strong work!
I found a used-good hp pavilion 705-G1 with an amd ryzen 7 thats 3.6ghz and has amd radeon graphics with windows 10 for 150 dollars is that a good deal(I just wanted to be able to record and run minecraft and roblox at over 80 fps on good fps settings)
Impressive! Could you do a PC build for GTA 6 thats kinda budget 1500 but still performs well, I know it´s difficult to know but i think u can get it done. Im trying to build my first PC and want it to be futureproof and very high fps(300)

Hi James, I know I'm 2 months late but thought I would try and answer your question. Yes, after you have build your pc you're gonna have to install som kind of OS (Operating system) this probably gonna be windows. It's really a simple process requiring only another pc or laptop and a USB drive. There are also gonna be other things you will have to look for in the bios such as ram frequency running correctly (XMP). Drivers for your cpu and gpu. But it is really not anything to be scared of, simple just search "what to do after I build a pc" on RUclips, and there should be plenty of videos that's gonna show you what to do. Hope it helps good luck. /Alex
Could you may include Minecraft with Iris Shaders and Booby Mod at 64 chunks renderdistance, would be awesome. I really love this build, my next one go in this direction but a bit more expensive because of estetics
I feel like this budget (1200 give or take) is the best value
Agreed! It's really amazing what you can build for 1200, it feels like we're (partially) back to what it was like a few years ago
agreed it gives high performance along with upgrade paths

get am5 instead since you are changing motherboards
and 7900gre is better for $50
been waiting for a video like this on this budget ...you are awesome keep it coming thank you !!
Thanks man!
Please keep on making these 1200 pounds builds. Im planning on building a new pc next Christmas (not this years. 2025 Christmas i will build it) and i wana get the most performance i can get at a £1200 bugget. Also great vid keep it up!
Damn u planning 1.5 years in advance

You have 1500 (in usd) budget. That should be enough for a solid build.

Thank you for another one of these! Could you do the benchmarks with Fortnite on all high settings and not just competitive settings?
No probs dude!
@@GeekaWhat 😁keep up the good work
Can you pls do a pc build on ryzen 7 7800x3d and rx 7900 gre
For 1200, he could have squized in a 7900gre
Agreed 💯
Would you recommend a prebuilt or build it yourself for a first time pc gamer? I wanna get a decent 1080p & 1440p build but not spend an arm & a leg Lol
also just so u know all your gpu links bring you to the Sapphire pulse version not the gigabyte one
So in Canada if anyone is wondering this build on newegg costs $1729 as of this comment and the CPU is like 40% off rn
The GPU sadly costs about $620
But if you convert that to pounds its only £992
why not use the rx 6800 i am really curious i want to build my first pc but i'm sticking with the rx 6800 instead of rx 7700 xt
The 7700 XT is more powerful in our testing, newer generation and has enough VRAM for 1440p.
Wait did I hear Mr $300 case and aio just say less on case more for performance? The END IS NEAR 😂😂😂
Lol even I laughed at that one… 🫣
If you're gonna label the video as "1440p", you should just stick with it and not dabble in showing 1080p gameplay, that's my two cents, good video otherwise
Fair point! Thanks for the feedback :)
Absolutely using the build to get my wife into gaming. Thanks!
did you build this after for her? if so i need some help
this video is just AMD trashing Nvidia and Intel, and I'm all for it
Hahaha
I build today the same pc with the same ram, graphic card,ssd,aio,cpu & motherboard perfect build for 1200€ !!!

AMD GPUS consuming too much power and that's why i don't prefer to use them. Best combine for me is Ryzen processor with Nvidia GPU
1440p va 165hz monitor or 1080p ips 1080 180hz for gaming and edting with rx 7800 xt...........

Soooo skimming over the case wires?? I've got this build now finally and have done the cpu, gpu and motherboard cables but completely lost with the case ones. Manuals are useless too!
