So, for the data hoarder. Spend like 150-200 bucks on a good, efficient old office pc (can be bought on ebay or amazon or local resellers/ marketplaces) with enough room for a couple of big spinning rust drives and a few m.2. I did this with an HP Elitedesk 800 G4 that has an i7-8700, 32gb of ram and spent $380 on two refurbed 18tb HDDs and $160 on a 4tb sata ssd. So I can have that always on and it uses a lot less power.

Hi Jason, You still haven't answered my 'Previous Questions' re: My 'Planned Upgrades/Swaps! That's OK, because now there's a Part 3! Starting with 'Gaming PC #1': B450 Gigabyte AORUS Elite V.2/w a Ryzen 5 5600X, this Upgrade is approx. 3/4 Complete. 1st: I upgraded the PSU to a Gigabyte 750 Watt model. Next I upgraded the Ram from 16 Gigs to 32 Gigs. Then, I upgraded the GPU from an AMD RX6600XT to an AMD RX7600XT(Probably a Bad Choice Here) Should've held out for an RX7800XT?? The Last Phase of this Upgrade will be to Upgrade the CPU from the Ryzen 5 5600X to a Ryzen 7 5700X 3D. Onto 'Gaming PC #2' MSI B550 Gaming Gen 3 Motherboard/w a Ryzen 5 5600 32 Gigs of Ram & an AMD RX6600. The Plan here is to Replace both the CPU & GPU with the 'Old Parts' from Gaming PC #1: Ryzen 5600 upgraded to Ryzen 5600X & RX6600 upgraded to an RX6600XT. (Can I expect even a little performance boost with these changes?) Current PSU is only 550 Watts, so I'll have to Upgrade to a 750 Watt Minimum before the next GPU Upgrade. And Finally onto Part 3. 'Multimedia PC' B450 ASUS Prime B450M-A II/w 16 Gigs of DDR4 Ram & an AMD Ryzen 5600G, I'm going to Replace that CPU with the Ryzen 5 5600 from 'Gaming PC' #2. The GPU in this PC is an ASUS RXT 2060 Super, I think? But It's just fine for listening to Music & Watch Blu Ray Movies on my 40" TV/Monitor. Sorry, about the Length of this.
My PC is working too well .. 5900X/32GB RAM/7900XTX, Ultrawide 1440p, everything plays well, that prevents me from upgrading ! Will wait for the 9800X3D and the 5090 I think :)
When I first got started in PC building, I had no idea what was wrong with the lists on "Boost My build." Now, almost a year later, I have the same reaction as yours lol.
I was the same. Of course I started out with a kit build from the local shop. This was a 486/DX2. By the time of the very first GeForce I had a clue. IIRC the first consumer card with FPU in it, had an early pixel shader and even had S3TC.
Boost this build: 4090 Ti Super R5 1600 2GB DDR3 An old Adidas shoebox from the 90s Hot glue gun Clearance Christmas lights from Target (rainbow colors)
You need at least a 720mm AIO to cool that beast. Adidas Shoebox is OP though, clearly carrying the build. (For those who do not understand this is a joke post).

@gwfire4233 you're gonna want to figure out what resources your applications use. Do they have hardware acceleration? Is everything run through the processor.
What amazes me is folks who want to pay $100 for a MSFT windows key when you have them at $16. These 2 builds were really interesting and I always learn something. Running across your channel was the best thing to happen to me in computer building. Thx Jason regards to Sarah & the Kitties
Agreed! People are going to do what they like of course but I want them to at least know they have the option. And thank you! So glad you enjoyed. The kitties and Sarah appreciate it!
Alright that $4000 dollar build made me mad. He obviously did zero research judging by the 60HZ monitor. Even if you know nothing about computers, 10 hours of research would have prevented that and some other things. Just the lack of effort from him is insane. 😡
Hi Jason! Thanks for all the content, very informative and non-biased. I'm still rocking the recommended 13600k build you made in 2022, and it's killing it in 1440p! You're the real MVP.
just bought a new setup, opinions? Rx 7900xt - $700 Ryzen 7 7800xd $340 Asus rog strix b650a $210 H9 flow - $160 Thermaright peerless assassin 120 - $38 Corsair 850e psu - $120 Team group ddr5 32gb (16x2) - $98 All parts are white besides the psu
God damn it Jason, since the first time I saw your video that talk about CPU/GPU combo advice? and I became addicted to this channel. Also, because of you, it was the first time to know about the RAM and the CL with the speeds and "ns". I figured out that I made a couple of mistakes, my CPU is i7 13th kf, and the MB is B760 which doesn't support to OC the CPU. Also my RAMs is just what mentioned in this video, I have 16 GB 5200 Mhz CL 40 (Vengence manufacturer). Please, keep up the mastery work, I like your way of talking, presenting and your enthusiasm, you just a whole package in the world of technology, thank you Jason.
Hey Jason. I just wanted to thank you for all the information you provided on boost my build. Thanks to you I was able to build a high end PC with a ryzen 7 7800x3d, and sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx for right around $2000 US dollars. And then was able to set up the system perfectly using your after build guide. You are a legend, I can't thank you enough!
I so wish I found your channel before I built my PC. After watching, I realized I spent 2300 for a PC, probably only worth 1600-1800; I have found where I tried to "save money" and ended up kicking me in the butt now. Now, I have to spend another 1k to upgrade my screw-ups. Thanks for teaching us
All my parts are showing up tomorrow!!! Pretty much nailed my build on the first build of this video! With your help of course from one of your last videos.. Thank you Jason for all the help man you made this a lot easier!!!(Amd 7900xt /Ryzen 7 7800x3d
@@PCBuilderChannel#update , PC is running amazing still, high 190 fps 4k max setting in helldivers , couldn't be happier !! Subbed to your channel today !
Love your videos. Bemusedly watching this one on my current PC which still uses the Fractal Define case and Noctua NH-D15 cooler retained from my 2016 build. They weren't broke, so I didn't fix 'em! 🐻
One problem with the ripjaws is the Samsung die has had a high failure rate. I have had more than 10 sets returned across multiple name brands where Hynix has been very reliable.
Hi Jason. Ragu here from Uk. Big fan of your videos. I’m looking to build my first gaming pc for my son. I’ve chosen the 7800x3d and 7900gre. I’m torn between msi mag b650 tomahawk WiFi and ASU’s strip b650 E-F. Any advice on which one to go for. Much appreciated. The ASU’s is £20 more
Either motherboard is totally fine. I've used both, and currently have the Strix B650E-F in my personal rig. Strix board is a little more premium, but they are both very close.
I just did a "build" recently. Kept my Antec 900 case, Corsair 850w psu, ryzen 5600, ddr 3600 cl16 ram, used vega 56 😂. The ram was used too. Bought a nice phantom spirit cooler though. That was new😅
Always love your videos - thanks! Just updated my system with an RX 6650 XT 8GB, 12TB SATA 7200 256 storage, 4TB SSD. game launch... bolted onto a B450, 5600X, 2TB Nvme, 32GB DDR4. Pretty sure the PSU is a 650 80+ Corsair (cant be bothered to open it to find out). Basically a rock solid mid unit - very happy with it, for the cost. It also has 72TB external drives. 32" 4k monitor, 22" touchscreen monitor, 22" 1080p monitor. In fairness, I usually only use the 32" - the others are off - but available if I want them. I know - my little system is basically crap compared to your daily build - but for me - 5600X, 32GB DDR4, RX 6650 XT, 2TB Nvme..... colour me a very happy bunny! The B450 mobo - yeah - that probably needs updating - but its holding its own for now....
Hey Jason I'm from India Graphic Card prices are just insanely weird here, but my budget is approx $300 and I have options such as : RX6600 8Gb & RTX 3060 12Gb Which one should I choose and is the 8gb Vram enough my usage includes gaming at 1080p and video editing might want to shift to 1440p gaming in future
From my perspective, I will only recommend Gigabyte’s AM5 motherboards (e.g. B650M/X670 Aorus Elite AX), MSI and ASUS did not put a lots of effort on designing AM5 mobos. Also, I will never recommend a B650 ATX board, the MATX board has already fully utilized all lanes that Prom21 (B650 Chipset), if intends to choose 7:387:38 ATX board, then head into X670. Meanwhile, For the case, I will recommend Lianli L216 Mesh ver., which has a mesh panel and comes w/ 2 x 16cm intake fans, also ~$100. For the PSU, I will run for 850W instead of 1000W, totally overkill for 78X3D + 4070 Ti Super (should be in total 400W) Finally, for ssd, stick to those with DRAM if you want to use it as OS drive. Usually I will buy that drives that manufactured by the companies that also produce the NAND(Kioxia[Toshiba] , Western Digital, Samsung, SK Hynix，etcs). For high-end ssds, since Samsung 990 pro has the 0e issue, and SK Hynix P41 has the pSLC bug, sticks to WD SN850X.

Hi, Jason Nice video as always. what do you think about the Lianli 216 and what do you think about this statement "the H6 case made the rest OF THE H9 cases obsolete"?
Love your videos! I had a gtx1080 and recently replaced it with an RX6900XT for $400. I think I need to upgrade everything else. My COU is a ryzen 7 2700X. I’m assuming that is bottlenecking the GPU.
I've been using the 13600kf in my mid tier budget builds, and have one in my current backup PC. For the price/performance it's really hard to beat and it's an excellent chip if you don't mind a little extra power draw. It'll push any GPU on the market too.
Jason your videos are very helpful ... I used to be in computer science and build my pcs all by myself ... but watching your videos are so much fun ... Question ... where are you located ? are you ever building PC's for people and tuning them ? please let me know and I would be interested to make a new PC for myself when the RTX 5090 comes on board
Thank you for the great feedback! So glad you are enjoying. I don’t do custom builds sorry, but the goal of the channel is to give you the tools to build your own, know what you need if someone else is building, or get an awesome prebuilt. So hopefully we can help you get ready for that 5090 when it comes (:
Some of these builds should use the ASUS 7800 xt oc 16gb card which was selling for $500 and competes with the 4070 to save money. Using this card would have saved this guy $340+tax and the performance difference would have been negligible.
You absolutely can build a fully operational PC w/o a case. It is arguably the least essential component. Every time I do a new build, I first build it outside the case and do all the testing. Then I reassemble it inside the case. I once ran my main gaming PC with all the parts laid out on a big sheet of cardboard for several months waiting for a good price on the case I wanted. No doubt thousands of PC builders have done this. Might not be the best plan if you have children or cats in your home.
I was never fond of integrated wifi in the motherboard. Just plonk on an M.2 slot for it. I kept my i7-2600 for a long time and wanted new wifi, the thing was integrated and I epoxyd the receiver (that Intel B3 skull whatever board) to the oian li so was not removable.
Thanks for the video. I built my PC early last year using your videos for guidance. Since then RAM prices have come down so I'm looking to upgrade to some faster RAM. From this video I take it the CL36 is slow while CL30 is fast. Curious how CL34 and CL 32 are when is comes to being fast or slow? Thanks!
Hey Jason, I'm building a new PC in May and I'm torn between the 7800XT and 7700XT. I'll be using a single monitor at 1440p with a max of 170 fps. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
@PCBuilderChannel : In my opinion you can't have "to much" storage-space in your PC. 😁 I use 10TB as NVMe and 62TB as HDD in my PC. Only in the last view days I added round about 3TB data on my PC. You know the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG OC based on a different PCB? Its based on a modded 3090 PCB and use the 3090 cooler. Thats why it is maybe the smallest 4090 on the market. 326mm length against 348mm of the original ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC. My System: i5 13600k MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL32 be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 1000W ATX 3.0 TR PA 120 SE Phanteks Enthoo Pro (Not the nicest and newest, but a lot of space, also for 6 HDDs) 5x Arctic P14 A lot of NVMe SSD and SATA HDD 😅 (My old) ASUS TUF Gaming 3060Ti OC (The only thing, that I will change. But maybe I'm waiting for the 5090 or buy than a cheaper used 4090)
Hey Jason, I've got a question for you - Who makes a 32" gaming monitor with a DisplayPort 2.0 connection? Since I've upgraded to the Arc A770 16GB card with that option, I cannot, for the life of me, find one at MicroCenter, Newegg, or Amazon.
I’ll be honest, I did the same thing with the weak gpu thing on my $2400 pc build lol, but I really didn’t want to upgrade to a 4070 ti super for 200 dollars extra for basically going from a 4070 ti to 4070 ti super. I’d rather get the cheaper gpu and save for next gen because it’s pretty dumb how that is 200 dollars more for a ti upgrade basically because the 4070 super is about the same performance as 4070 ti
Hey Jason, I noticed you kept saying that the second guy did not need 64 gigs of ram. I’m a graphic designer and I frequently see Photoshop using over 100 GB of my ram (I have 128 gigs) when I’m on large documents (15,000 x 20,000 pixels or more). I agree 64 gigs is overkill for most people but Photoshop is a ram hog. If this guy uses that, maybe that’s why he wanted so much ram.
If he had said professional level production build I would have gone with a lot of different recommendations for sure. But I have to go with what they say they want in their post
i cant decide if i want to upgrade my system or wait till fall and build entirely new. I have gigabyte z690 gaming x ddr5 32gb corsair vengeance 5200 cl40 i5-12600k with be quiet dark rock pro 4 cooler amd rx6800 xt wd_black 2tb sn850 nvme with evga supernova 750 gt psu. my bios is upgraded to latest so i was thinking about upgrading to a 14700k then possibly swapping ram to a faster cl timing ram few of the games i play are cpu/ram heavy games then later down road possibly swap out the gpu to a 4070 ti super.
If you are just gaming then the 14700 k is overkill. Get the 7800 X3d which matches the 13900k. But you would have to replace your motherboard and ram....which can be subsidized by reselling your Z690 , ram and cpu.
thats why i stated that build new or not i understand 7800x3d is best gaming cpu right now but its a whole new build im basing this off upgrading mine to the best possible and get few years or just move on @@VoldoronGaming
and ive thought about that im not in a hurry to do this i just been kicking around the idea so i can plan on whether im doing a partial upgrade or a completely new build @@kelley09162
Greetings, sir. I hail from India, where the summer heat easily climbs to 40 degrees Celsius. I currently own an R5 5600X paired with an RTX 3070. Despite watching numerous videos, I opted to stick with the stock cooler provided with the CPU. However, due to the high ambient temperatures in my region, I encountered temperature issues. Some individuals on RUclips claim that a 240mm AIO cooler is excessive for the R5 5600X, but I suspect their environments have lower ambient temperatures influencing their opinions. Could you kindly advise whether an AIO or a tower air cooler would be more suitable in my situation?
Normally I would be recommending a budget tower air cooler. If you check out our latest Best Builds March video we have a sample 5600 build there with cooler recommendations. But with your temps if you feel like you need more an aio is fine too. Do check your case airflow and fan positions too to make sure thats not causing you issues as well. See our PC Parts Explained 2024 video for more on that
Thank you for the video, I too am trying to build around a $2K gaming machine and used this video to make the best choices to max out my budget with the best parts!
I was getting depressed over the cost of SSDs, but then stumbled across a 2tb Samsung 990 Pro at Staples for $120. Walmart is also clearancing out sub-1TB sata and nvme WD Blue and WD Black drives for dirt cheap in a lot of stores. It pays to poke around locally.
I have 12gb of storage on mine with pics games all backed up with backups; but I have brought NVME's 3.0, 2tbs 2tb HDDs, and 1 tb SDDs from previous builds to this one.
Hi Jason, love your videos. Question: I'm an undergrad software developer/programmer student, looking for a beginner build for my kind of work. So i was thinking about these two processors i3 12th 12100 and i5 12th 12400. Now there come in "f" variants as well. But I'm confused as to which one i should actually pick? Will the integrated gpu that comes in non "f" variant be enough for me? Or should i go with the "f" variant and get a gpu with it? Also feel free to recommend me any other processor that might be a better option that are similar to those processors. Thank you, i appreciate it.
You definitely want a GPU for this kind of build. Hop over to our latest “Best Builds March” video. We have a sample $640 build there that would be great for you. Or if you really want 12100 we have a build guide for that on the channel too.
I finally got the 4070 ti super 16 gb (Zotac white), paired with my i7 12700 cpu running on an MSI 690 WIFI board, and have had great performance through all of my games - mostly first person shooters like COD and Battlefield. All settings run on ultra, and my monitor is an ultra wide 49 inch Samsung C49RG90. Frame rates average in the 140 fps and often topping 200 on certain scenes. Cinematics go way hi in fps, but I think those are likely running at 1080p or less. The GPU runs at about 70 c when in-game, and remains steady between 65 & 70 c throughout hours of play, so it handles heat saturation well. I upgraded from a 3070 ti oc at 8 gb - which could never handle more intense games at ultra settings due to the limited memory capacity. The upgrade to the 16 gb 4070 super cost about $100 more than the 3070 I was stuck buying a year ago, but coming from that experience I'm absolutely satisfied!
Hey Jason don't know if you'll see this but I just wanted to say how helpful your videos have been to me, you always explain things in great detail appreciate you man
Hey, thanks for the video. In the 2k build (13minutes) you have selected an 850 W PSU. In the 1440P Gaming is Cheap video from 4 weeks ago, you have suggested an 1,5k build with an RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU as the Nvidia alternative. In that build you have suggested an 650 W PSU. The main difference that i see in those two builds are the Ryzen 7 7800x3d vs Ryzen 5 7600X. The CPU is the main reason of the adicional 250W or am I missing something? The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to build a PC with RTX 4070 Ti Super with the Ryzen 5 7600X (or 7600). Right now i'm inclined to buy a 750W PSU, but i'm still not sure. Could you please help me with that? Thanks a lot
So you need to put your build into PC Part Picker and times the watts by 1.5 to see what watt PSU you need. Yes the 7800X3D uses more power vs the 7600X. Also note that AMD GPUs also use more power vs Nvidia and Intel CPUs use more power vs AMD.
I think you should reconsider your stance against gen4 SSDs. A silicon power UD90 is the same price as the mp33 for something like 125% of the throughput. And while it's true that won't get you more FPS, it does reduce load times perceptibly, and those are actually an annoyance in gaming! Like... it's the same price. Why stick with gen 3? And for people doing expensive builds, the sk hynix p41 platinum 2tb is $140 right now. You don't think it's worth $35 to cut 15-20% off every single load time in a premium gaming computer? Just my feedback, and I refer to your builds a lot for ideas at different budget levels! I just think specifically for storage you may be neglecting to consider load times as "performance" and unnecessarily leaving some out.
Jason, for 2000 dollar gaming PC builds at 4k I think you should be trying to get people a 7900xtx or a 4080 super (if the 4080 super is between 999 and 1030).Becuase 4k needs less of a CPU load, you can get away with something like a 7600x, 7700, or 14400f at that resolution. I have a 7600x and 7900xtx for 4k gaming and it works well. I assembled that pc for 1,970 dollars with the 100 dolllar windows license, so just a little tip for you (if you feel like you need a tip)
Solid option! I was sticking to higher core counts due to what the builder said they wanted it for but especially for a pure gaming build that’s a valid option too
850 Watt power supply is plenty of power for the first original setup. All the power supply calculators online range between 650 and 750 for this build. 650 seems low but 850 is certainly enough power. I may revisit this if he ends up with an o11 dynamic or hyte y70 touch with 46 RGB fans and an LCD but i don't see that at his budget. 1000w would run a 4090 without issue. 1200W for this build is completely overkill.
I’m playing RDR2 at 1440p ultra with a 4090 right now because my 4K mini led is broken (cooler master has ghosted me in the RMA process) and it’s awesome. I might be ruining myself with high frame rate gameplay.
@@MrAnimescrazy 13900k with 64 gb of 6000mhz ddr5 ram. I’m playing with DLSS on quality and getting 120-160 fps depending on the situation but I capped it at 140 because the monitor is only 144hz.
It's slow but not unusable if you have no other options. You'll lose 5-ish percent fps and ram is a very easy upgrade later when prices become sane in your region cause they will.
I have recently built a gaming computer and I see that my cpu temps Jim wildly from 30 to 50 just by browsing RUclips. What could be the cause of this. CPU is a i7 14700k and air is a deep cool LT 720.
Jason, do you have any plans on doing a video on wifi cards/adaptors? I feel like its a rather obscure part of the PC building considering most people end up buying an already built in wifi or use an old garbage wifi card/adaptor.
I really wouldn’t go 14900K personally, and definitely not with that GPU. If this is a gaming focused build go 7800X3D (we have a great sample build for that in our Best Builds February video) and if production focused go 14700k.
While I agree noctua asks a lot for the metal on their CPU coolers, one thing I (re)discovered recently is how superior (or inferior in that case?) the noise profile of their fans is compared to most other things on the market. And this isn't about decibels so very hard to judge from a review. I got a case with fans for my current build that every review about it said were decent fans but for me they just made my ears bleed even at 10% speed. Swapped them for noctuas and I can run them at 1250rpm (low speed version of the NF-A12x25) put my ear next to them, and I can't hear them at all.

Mid-Tower ATX. $85 but with $9 coupon its $76. The goal is 1080p gaming, however if it will work for 2k then I'd love to upgrade my monitor. Thanks!
Just did my build, wondering if its ok GPU: Nvidia Gforce RTX 3060 12gb CPU: Intel i5-14600k RAM: G.SKILL, 32 GB, DDR5, 6000 MHz, 2 x 16 GB Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DEEPCOOL AK620 SSD Samsung 980 PRO Gen.4, 1TB Seasonic 850W, FOCUS GX Series, 80 PLUS Gold Case: deepcool ch560 digital
It's a solid build. I think the 3060 12gb is still a good buy, especially if it let's you save up for an upgrade in the next 12-24 months to 5000 series nvidia or whatever amd is naming their next gen. I'm an ssd snob so I approve the choice but you could probably have been just as fine with like a Solidgim P41 or something in that class for a mixed OS/Programs drive.
Do corsair have a simple thing to show what X and I and so on mean on there powersuppley.. Setting here to buy and 4080 super and with the orsair 750x thats not working so im trying to find a 1000watt but i dont know witch
Getting ready to sell my old PC and build a New one. Been piecing together. Got a 7800x3d, 32gb dominator 6000Mhz, 1000W Gold PSU, Asus Tuf B650, 2TB 980 pro, NZXT pc case. Will air cooling be enough? I'm doing a 1440P 360hz monitor build.
Yes Air Cooling is fine if you get a good one. The Thermalright Phantom Spirit is a good choice. Also just note Jason doesn't recommend the Dominator RAM and Samsung SSD and prefers the MSI Tomahawk to the TUF.
@kelley09162 copy that! Also trying to to determine GPU. I'm really gonna be on my max for budget but I'm currently using 2080S but I wanna switch to AMD and give em a go. 7900xtx? I got about 1k to spend left. Or go with a 4080?
Hi Jason thanks for the videos on the boost my build series been a fan of the series for a long time and figured you should know this. I'm also gonna throw in a question as you are way more experienced than me. I recently upgraded my PC about 6 months ago and currently have a ryzen 5 5600x, RTX 4070. The ryzen 5 5600x I've had for a long time and I can easily tell I'm getting bottlenecked in alot of games. Now I know I have to buy a new motherboard if I'm gonna go for a new CPU seeing as it looks like the ryzen 7 series looks to be the better fit for the regular 4070. Jason do you know what I should pickup for best price per performance for my GPU as I really don't want to overspend. Once again thank you very much! :)
The 5600X starts to hit a wall around the RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT (will hit a wall earlier with NVIDIA GPUs due to the extra driver overhead). A 5700X3D would fix that completely (or 5800X3D). Drop in upgrade, keep your mobo and RAM (as long as the ram is 3200 CL16 or faster).
My best friend is a 3D animator and his PC has 64 GB of RAM in it. Big difference in rendering from 32GB. One of his co-workers actually has 128 GB of RAM in their build. From my experience, Seagate hard drives are stupid slow and tend to fail a lot. I'm hoping to finish my upgrade today. Ordered a 7800XT and should be in today. I considered the 7900 GRE, but since I'm up against a 5800X3D, I'd be hitting that wall in terms of performance.
Oh yes if this was actually for a professional production build I’d be making a bunch of different recommendations for sure. Hope your PC comes together great! Keep us posted
Probably decently but I agree with waiting. Intel 15th Gen will be a new stocket so when those come out it will be a good time to upgrade. Unless they're really expensive but if that's the case maybe those CPUs coming out will cause 14th Gen to drop in price.
What is the best gpu i can use with i7 4790k. (Without bottleneck ). . . .. [currently i am using r7 260x. .] . . I have a 4k monitor. . And i am gonna game. .(Not a fps freak)
Hey Jason, I have a Ryzen 7 5800x with a Corsair RM750x I want to get a new GPU. Thinking of the 4070super or ti super, can I plug and play that or should I consider upgrading the PSU and CPU? Thanks!
That CPU will bottleneck those GPUs so depending on your current system I might consider dropping in a 5700X3D first. See our Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024 video for more
I COMPLETELY disagree with you on the point that 32GB is enough, I have 32GB and all the time I will hit the software usage limit with having things still open in the background or on one of my other monitors while gaming. In a Godzilla build you should Absolutely have 64+ GB of RAM
Having recently built my own build after carefully and painstakingly picking the parts I needed for my build… I too make the reactions you do when looking at these part picker lists… I only started getting into PC components etc around July last year and now I can’t unsee other people’s mistakes… I really can’t tell if some of these people are trolling so you will show case their terrible build or not 🤣
@@PCBuilderChannel thank you Jason, I ended up going for a Ryzen 5 7600 and a Sapphire Pulse 7800XT… couldn’t justify spending the extra £300 to go to the 4070Ti Super, but I was happy with my choice, I’ve been gaming on an ACER Nitro 5 laptop for 4 and a half years nearly with an i7-9750h and a 1660Ti mobile GPU with a 60Hz refresh rate… literally got a beautiful MSI Optix 27” 1500R curved monitor with 170Hz refresh rate and 1440p… the difference is night and day in terms of performance… hopefully my viewers will appreciate the upgrade in the quality in my streams… may end up going to a Ryzen 7 eventually, but we’ll see what the 6 core can do… the way I look at it, anything I build was going to be an upgrade over the Nitro 5 laptop. Thank you for your amazing channel for giving me the knowledge I needed to build my very first PC, I have such admiration for all that you do my friend ❤️
My build is so out of wack. I bought the 7800x3D when it came out intending to build then, but life happened so some parts are way more expensive than they are now. Luckily motherboards, and GPU's have gone down, and that's pretty much all I had left. Still could have saved about $200, but it is what it is.
@@PCBuilderChannelASRock B650M Pro RS $135. xfx 7900 xt $720.60. I just need to pick a 850w psu cause I'm not comfortable with my 7 year old 750w EVGA psu.
I was gunna say, ryzen for gaming is where it's at. I just bought a 4070ti super, so yeah it's a stud! Wish i had gone 7800x3d instead of 12700k, but i could do 4k pretty well. Haven't tried it yet but will soon.
Without your content among a couple of others, got me a great pc. I'm so glad i found your channel. Still can't believe I got a i7 12700k for 250.00, still hasn't hit that price again.
@@binks_jim I think the 12700k is kind of a bad deal at this point. At 250, or in a bundle or something, that makes sense. But when I was shopping it was more than a 14600k, that clearly outperforms it. I got a 14600k w mobo and 32gb of ddr5 (cl36, but this guy REALLY exaggerates ram speed...also, you can tweak it and gain performance back) for like 545 or something. I was gonna grab the 13600k, but the 14600k was literally 3 dollars more or something. *shrugs*
@firghteningtruth7173 I agree, for a first time build though, and on a tight budget in August I got it for 250. Not too terrible. I've never ran an aio, however if I can get a 13700k at or below 250 I might consider it. How ever the thermalright phantom spirit with 2 120 fans holds Temps just fine on 12700k.
@@binks_jim I think you can actually cool a 13700k on air with a good cooler with as good or only a slight dip in performance from an AIO. I mean, I grabbed a lil AIO for my 14600 and it keeps it frosty. But I have seen comparisons between an AIO and air coolers, and a few of them were RIGHT there with the aio.
I recently bought this PC on sale (1600USD). There are mixed reactions with alienware, but since it came with a RTX 4080 would you consider this a deal or should I just build my own? Here is what I got AWAUR15-7258WHT-PUS
Heyyo! I'm currently searching for an AM5 motherboard for a high end build. (7950x and 4090) Is there any mobo with a debugging seven segment display on it without having to chopped off an arm and a leg? Most of them are on high end X670 boards with dozen of features I don't even think I'm gonna use. Love from SEA ❤
@@kelley09162 Both of em doesn't have any debug display on them. I need a mobo that has a "good enough" feature to support the GPU+ CPU combo and needs to have a debug seven-segment display. Budget is not a concern but I hate wasting money on unnecessary features I wouldn't even use for.

The 7950X3D and 7900X3D have 2 CCDs but only 1 has VCache. Thus it disables one of the CCDs when gaming (the one without VCache). However it has struggled with turning off the correct CCD sometimes but it is getting better, but that is why I have not recommended it. If you are primarily gaming, the 7800X3D is the safe bet (1 CCD, with VCache), and it is still an incredibly strong 8 core CPU for other non-professional level tasks.

How is your PC Build doing? When was the last time you built or upgraded? Are you planning one? Tell your story in a new comment below!
bought 10 pro and didn't work at all.
So, for the data hoarder. Spend like 150-200 bucks on a good, efficient old office pc (can be bought on ebay or amazon or local resellers/ marketplaces) with enough room for a couple of big spinning rust drives and a few m.2. I did this with an HP Elitedesk 800 G4 that has an i7-8700, 32gb of ram and spent $380 on two refurbed 18tb HDDs and $160 on a 4tb sata ssd. So I can have that always on and it uses a lot less power.

Hi Jason, You still haven't answered my 'Previous Questions' re: My 'Planned Upgrades/Swaps! That's OK, because now there's a Part 3! Starting with 'Gaming PC #1': B450 Gigabyte AORUS Elite V.2/w a Ryzen 5 5600X, this Upgrade is approx. 3/4 Complete. 1st: I upgraded the PSU to a Gigabyte 750 Watt model. Next I upgraded the Ram from 16 Gigs to 32 Gigs. Then, I upgraded the GPU from an AMD RX6600XT to an AMD RX7600XT(Probably a Bad Choice Here) Should've held out for an RX7800XT?? The Last Phase of this Upgrade will be to Upgrade the CPU from the Ryzen 5 5600X to a Ryzen 7 5700X 3D. Onto 'Gaming PC #2' MSI B550 Gaming Gen 3 Motherboard/w a Ryzen 5 5600 32 Gigs of Ram & an AMD RX6600. The Plan here is to Replace both the CPU & GPU with the 'Old Parts' from Gaming PC #1: Ryzen 5600 upgraded to Ryzen 5600X & RX6600 upgraded to an RX6600XT. (Can I expect even a little performance boost with these changes?) Current PSU is only 550 Watts, so I'll have to Upgrade to a 750 Watt Minimum before the next GPU Upgrade. And Finally onto Part 3. 'Multimedia PC' B450 ASUS Prime B450M-A II/w 16 Gigs of DDR4 Ram & an AMD Ryzen 5600G, I'm going to Replace that CPU with the Ryzen 5 5600 from 'Gaming PC' #2. The GPU in this PC is an ASUS RXT 2060 Super, I think? But It's just fine for listening to Music & Watch Blu Ray Movies on my 40" TV/Monitor. Sorry, about the Length of this.
My PC is working too well .. 5900X/32GB RAM/7900XTX, Ultrawide 1440p, everything plays well, that prevents me from upgrading !
Will wait for the 9800X3D and the 5090 I think :)
When I first got started in PC building, I had no idea what was wrong with the lists on "Boost My build." Now, almost a year later, I have the same reaction as yours lol.
Haha you can never go back!
Do you also have a cat?
I was the same.
Of course I started out with a kit build from the local shop. This was a 486/DX2.
By the time of the very first GeForce I had a clue. IIRC the first consumer card with FPU in it, had an early pixel shader and even had S3TC.

As a linux user, lol
In the Netherlands I bought a Windows 11 pro key yesterday for 6.06 eur.
Alright that $4000 dollar build made me mad. He obviously did zero research judging by the 60HZ monitor. Even if you know nothing about computers, 10 hours of research would have prevented that and some other things. Just the lack of effort from him is insane. 😡
Watching a RUclips video on what monitor to buy would explain that lol.

Hi Jason! Thanks for all the content, very informative and non-biased.

God damn it Jason, since the first time I saw your video that talk about CPU/GPU combo advice? and I became addicted to this channel. Also, because of you, it was the first time to know about the RAM and the CL with the speeds and "ns".
I figured out that I made a couple of mistakes, my CPU is i7 13th kf, and the MB is B760 which doesn't support to OC the CPU. Also my RAMs is just what mentioned in this video, I have 16 GB 5200 Mhz CL 40 (Vengence manufacturer).

Thanks to you I was able to build a high end PC with a ryzen 7 7800x3d, and sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx for right around $2000 US dollars. And then was able to set up the system perfectly using your after build guide. You are a legend, I can't thank you enough!
I saw your comment elsewhere too, this is so cool! Congrats on your awesome build and thanks for letting us know we helped. It means a lot
I so wish I found your channel before I built my PC. After watching, I realized I spent 2300 for a PC, probably only worth 1600-1800; I have found where I tried to "save money" and ended up kicking me in the butt now. Now, I have to spend another 1k to upgrade my screw-ups. Thanks for teaching us
It's very easy to overspend so don't beat yourself up! Glad you've found us and that we an help in the future (:

For the second build, why the H9 Flow instead of the H6 Flow? Both have similar performance and looks, but the H6 Flow is cheaper.

Hi Jason. Ragu here from Uk. Big fan of your videos. I’m looking to build my first gaming pc for my son. I’ve chosen the 7800x3d and 7900gre. I’m torn between msi mag b650 tomahawk WiFi and ASU’s strip b650 E-F. Any advice on which one to go for. Much appreciated. The ASU’s is £20 more
Tomahawk. I've seen Jason recommend it multiple times.
Either motherboard is totally fine. I've used both, and currently have the Strix B650E-F in my personal rig. Strix board is a little more premium, but they are both very close.
I just did a "build" recently.
Kept my Antec 900 case, Corsair 850w psu, ryzen 5600, ddr 3600 cl16 ram, used vega 56 😂.
The ram was used too. Bought a nice phantom spirit cooler though. That was new😅
Very creative picks for these builds! Love how you kept their goals in mind

whch RAM would you recommend? DDR5, thanks

Always love your videos - thanks! Just updated my system with an RX 6650 XT 8GB, 12TB SATA 7200 256 storage, 4TB SSD. game launch... bolted onto a B450, 5600X, 2TB Nvme, 32GB DDR4. Pretty sure the PSU is a 650 80+ Corsair (cant be bothered to open it to find out). Basically a rock solid mid unit - very happy with it, for the cost. It also has 72TB external drives. 32" 4k monitor, 22" touchscreen monitor, 22" 1080p monitor. In fairness, I usually only use the 32" - the others are off - but available if I want them. I know - my little system is basically crap compared to your daily build - but for me - 5600X, 32GB DDR4, RX 6650 XT, 2TB Nvme..... colour me a very happy bunny! The B450 mobo - yeah - that probably needs updating - but its holding its own for now....
Congrats on the upgrade!
Hey Jason I'm from India Graphic Card prices are just insanely weird here, but my budget is approx $300 and I have options such as :
RX6600 8Gb & RTX 3060 12Gb
Which one should I choose and is the 8gb Vram enough my usage includes gaming at 1080p and video editing might want to shift to 1440p gaming in future
I'd go for the 3060 12gb personally. Good choice for your needs
From my perspective, I will only recommend Gigabyte’s AM5 motherboards (e.g. B650M/X670 Aorus Elite AX), MSI and ASUS did not put a lots of effort on designing AM5 mobos.
Also, I will never recommend a B650 ATX board, the MATX board has already fully utilized all lanes that Prom21 (B650 Chipset), if intends to choose 7:38 7:38 ATX board, then head into X670.
Meanwhile, For the case, I will recommend Lianli L216 Mesh ver., which has a mesh panel and comes w/ 2 x 16cm intake fans, also ~$100.
For the PSU, I will run for 850W instead of 1000W, totally overkill for 78X3D + 4070 Ti Super (should be in total 400W)
Finally, for ssd, stick to those with DRAM if you want to use it as OS drive. Usually I will buy that drives that manufactured by the companies that also produce the NAND(Kioxia[Toshiba] , Western Digital, Samsung, SK Hynix，etcs). For high-end ssds, since Samsung 990 pro has the 0e issue, and SK Hynix P41 has the pSLC bug, sticks to WD SN850X.

Hey Jason, what is your motherboard recommendation for (7800x3d and RTX 4090)?
Check out our 7800X3D build guide! We go over some great options there
Hi, Jason
Nice video as always.
what do you think about the Lianli 216 and what do you think about this statement "the H6 case made the rest OF THE H9 cases obsolete"?
Love your videos!
I had a gtx1080 and recently replaced it with an RX6900XT for $400.
I think I need to upgrade everything else. My COU is a ryzen 7 2700X. I’m assuming that is bottlenecking the GPU.
Thanks! Yes the 2700X is a massive bottleneck for you. The 5700X3D would be a massive drop in upgrade, and the 5800X3D is slightly better.
Thank you! The other issue is that the PSU is 550 so I probably will have to upgrade that as well.
I've been using the 13600kf in my mid tier budget builds, and have one in my current backup PC. For the price/performance it's really hard to beat and it's an excellent chip if you don't mind a little extra power draw. It'll push any GPU on the market too.
Jason your videos are very helpful ... I used to be in computer science and build my pcs all by myself ... but watching your videos are so much fun ...
Question ... where are you located ? are you ever building PC's for people and tuning them ? please let me know and I would be interested to make a new PC for myself when the RTX 5090 comes on board
Thank you for the great feedback! So glad you are enjoying. I don’t do custom builds sorry, but the goal of the channel is to give you the tools to build your own, know what you need if someone else is building, or get an awesome prebuilt. So hopefully we can help you get ready for that 5090 when it comes (:
This channel has been so educational it helped me two years ago building my first pc and every year I learn something new keep up the good work 👍👍
That's so great to hear! Glad we could help!
Some of these builds should use the ASUS 7800 xt oc 16gb card which was selling for $500 and competes with the 4070 to save money. Using this card would have saved this guy $340+tax and the performance difference would have been negligible.
You absolutely can build a fully operational PC w/o a case. It is arguably the least essential component. Every time I do a new build, I first build it outside the case and do all the testing. Then I reassemble it inside the case. I once ran my main gaming PC with all the parts laid out on a big sheet of cardboard for several months waiting for a good price on the case I wanted. No doubt thousands of PC builders have done this. Might not be the best plan if you have children or cats in your home.
Did anyone else realize that the $4500 build had a 13900-k and a 4090 with a 60hz monitor......
I was never fond of integrated wifi in the motherboard. Just plonk on an M.2 slot for it. I kept my i7-2600 for a long time and wanted new wifi, the thing was integrated and I epoxyd the receiver (that Intel B3 skull whatever board) to the oian li so was not removable.
Thanks for the video. I built my PC early last year using your videos for guidance. Since then RAM prices have come down so I'm looking to upgrade to some faster RAM. From this video I take it the CL36 is slow while CL30 is fast. Curious how CL34 and CL 32 are when is comes to being fast or slow? Thanks!

Hey Jason, I'm building a new PC in May and I'm torn between the 7800XT and 7700XT. I'll be using a single monitor at 1440p with a max of 170 fps. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
@PCBuilderChannel : In my opinion you can't have "to much" storage-space in your PC. 😁 I use 10TB as NVMe and 62TB as HDD in my PC. Only in the last view days I added round about 3TB data on my PC.
You know the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG OC based on a different PCB? Its based on a modded 3090 PCB and use the 3090 cooler. Thats why it is maybe the smallest 4090 on the market. 326mm length against 348mm of the original ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC.

Hey Jason, I've got a question for you - Who makes a 32" gaming monitor with a DisplayPort 2.0 connection? Since I've upgraded to the Arc A770 16GB card with that option, I cannot, for the life of me, find one at MicroCenter, Newegg, or Amazon.
I’ll be honest, I did the same thing with the weak gpu thing on my $2400 pc build lol, but I really didn’t want to upgrade to a 4070 ti super for 200 dollars extra for basically going from a 4070 ti to 4070 ti super. I’d rather get the cheaper gpu and save for next gen because it’s pretty dumb how that is 200 dollars more for a ti upgrade basically because the 4070 super is about the same performance as 4070 ti
Hey Jason, I noticed you kept saying that the second guy did not need 64 gigs of ram. I’m a graphic designer and I frequently see Photoshop using over 100 GB of my ram (I have 128 gigs) when I’m on large documents (15,000 x 20,000 pixels or more). I agree 64 gigs is overkill for most people but Photoshop is a ram hog. If this guy uses that, maybe that’s why he wanted so much ram.
If he had said professional level production build I would have gone with a lot of different recommendations for sure. But I have to go with what they say they want in their post
Is a 850W psu enough for a build with a Ryzen 7 7800xd and 4070 card?
Almost certainly, but see our Best PSU video for how to size it with all of your components.
i cant decide if i want to upgrade my system or wait till fall and build entirely new. I have gigabyte z690 gaming x ddr5 32gb corsair vengeance 5200 cl40 i5-12600k with be quiet dark rock pro 4 cooler amd rx6800 xt wd_black 2tb sn850 nvme with evga supernova 750 gt psu. my bios is upgraded to latest so i was thinking about upgrading to a 14700k then possibly swapping ram to a faster cl timing ram few of the games i play are cpu/ram heavy games then later down road possibly swap out the gpu to a 4070 ti super.
If you are just gaming then the 14700 k is overkill. Get the 7800 X3d which matches the 13900k. But you would have to replace your motherboard and ram....which can be subsidized by reselling your Z690 , ram and cpu.
I would wait until the Fall because when 15th Gen comes out it may drive down the prices of 14th Gen CPUs.
thats why i stated that build new or not i understand 7800x3d is best gaming cpu right now but its a whole new build im basing this off upgrading mine to the best possible and get few years or just move on @@VoldoronGaming
and ive thought about that im not in a hurry to do this i just been kicking around the idea so i can plan on whether im doing a partial upgrade or a completely new build @@kelley09162
Greetings, sir. I hail from India, where the summer heat easily climbs to 40 degrees Celsius. I currently own an R5 5600X paired with an RTX 3070. Despite watching numerous videos, I opted to stick with the stock cooler provided with the CPU. However, due to the high ambient temperatures in my region, I encountered temperature issues. Some individuals on RUclips claim that a 240mm AIO cooler is excessive for the R5 5600X, but I suspect their environments have lower ambient temperatures influencing their opinions. Could you kindly advise whether an AIO or a tower air cooler would be more suitable in my situation?
Normally I would be recommending a budget tower air cooler. If you check out our latest Best Builds March video we have a sample 5600 build there with cooler recommendations. But with your temps if you feel like you need more an aio is fine too. Do check your case airflow and fan positions too to make sure thats not causing you issues as well. See our PC Parts Explained 2024 video for more on that
@@PCBuilderChannel Thank you, sir, for all you've done. I'm incredibly grateful for the wealth of knowledge you've given. 😄😄
Thank you for the video, I too am trying to build around a $2K gaming machine and used this video to make the best choices to max out my budget with the best parts!
So glad we could help!!
I was getting depressed over the cost of SSDs, but then stumbled across a 2tb Samsung 990 Pro at Staples for $120. Walmart is also clearancing out sub-1TB sata and nvme WD Blue and WD Black drives for dirt cheap in a lot of stores. It pays to poke around locally.
I have 12gb of storage on mine with pics games all backed up with backups; but I have brought NVME's 3.0, 2tbs 2tb HDDs, and 1 tb SDDs from previous builds to this one.
Info for GPU recommendations, I use a Ryzen 7 3700x and a Corsair CX750
Hi Jason, love your videos. Question: I'm an undergrad software developer/programmer student, looking for a beginner build for my kind of work. So i was thinking about these two processors i3 12th 12100 and i5 12th 12400. Now there come in "f" variants as well. But I'm confused as to which one i should actually pick? Will the integrated gpu that comes in non "f" variant be enough for me? Or should i go with the "f" variant and get a gpu with it? Also feel free to recommend me any other processor that might be a better option that are similar to those processors. Thank you, i appreciate it.
You'd be better off with a GPU. What's your budget for this build?
around $600
@@1amhsn here's a build for you if you can go over budget.
It's list / pXnVXk in PC Part Picker
You definitely want a GPU for this kind of build. Hop over to our latest “Best Builds March” video. We have a sample $640 build there that would be great for you. Or if you really want 12100 we have a build guide for that on the channel too.
I finally got the 4070 ti super 16 gb (Zotac white), paired with my i7 12700 cpu running on an MSI 690 WIFI board, and have had great performance through all of my games - mostly first person shooters like COD and Battlefield. All settings run on ultra, and my monitor is an ultra wide 49 inch Samsung C49RG90. Frame rates average in the 140 fps and often topping 200 on certain scenes. Cinematics go way hi in fps, but I think those are likely running at 1080p or less. The GPU runs at about 70 c when in-game, and remains steady between 65 & 70 c throughout hours of play, so it handles heat saturation well.
I upgraded from a 3070 ti oc at 8 gb - which could never handle more intense games at ultra settings due to the limited memory capacity.
The upgrade to the 16 gb 4070 super cost about $100 more than the 3070 I was stuck buying a year ago, but coming from that experience I'm absolutely satisfied!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
Hey Jason don't know if you'll see this but I just wanted to say how helpful your videos have been to me, you always explain things in great detail appreciate you man
Thank you!! Really appreciate the feedback
Mine was a 4070 ti super and 14700k pc which costed if I remember the price was 1740$. Hope that was a good deal
Hey, thanks for the video. In the 2k build (13minutes) you have selected an 850 W PSU. In the 1440P Gaming is Cheap video from 4 weeks ago, you have suggested an 1,5k build with an RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU as the Nvidia alternative. In that build you have suggested an 650 W PSU. The main difference that i see in those two builds are the Ryzen 7 7800x3d vs Ryzen 5 7600X. The CPU is the main reason of the adicional 250W or am I missing something?
The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to build a PC with RTX 4070 Ti Super with the Ryzen 5 7600X (or 7600). Right now i'm inclined to buy a 750W PSU, but i'm still not sure. Could you please help me with that?
Thanks a lot
So you need to put your build into PC Part Picker and times the watts by 1.5 to see what watt PSU you need.
Yes the 7800X3D uses more power vs the 7600X. Also note that AMD GPUs also use more power vs Nvidia and Intel CPUs use more power vs AMD.
I think you should reconsider your stance against gen4 SSDs. A silicon power UD90 is the same price as the mp33 for something like 125% of the throughput. And while it's true that won't get you more FPS, it does reduce load times perceptibly, and those are actually an annoyance in gaming! Like... it's the same price. Why stick with gen 3? And for people doing expensive builds, the sk hynix p41 platinum 2tb is $140 right now. You don't think it's worth $35 to cut 15-20% off every single load time in a premium gaming computer?
Just my feedback, and I refer to your builds a lot for ideas at different budget levels! I just think specifically for storage you may be neglecting to consider load times as "performance" and unnecessarily leaving some out.
Jason, for 2000 dollar gaming PC builds at 4k I think you should be trying to get people a 7900xtx or a 4080 super (if the 4080 super is between 999 and 1030).Becuase 4k needs less of a CPU load, you can get away with something like a 7600x, 7700, or 14400f at that resolution. I have a 7600x and 7900xtx for 4k gaming and it works well. I assembled that pc for 1,970 dollars with the 100 dolllar windows license, so just a little tip for you (if you feel like you need a tip)
Solid option! I was sticking to higher core counts due to what the builder said they wanted it for but especially for a pure gaming build that’s a valid option too
850 Watt power supply is plenty of power for the first original setup. All the power supply calculators online range between 650 and 750 for this build. 650 seems low but 850 is certainly enough power. I may revisit this if he ends up with an o11 dynamic or hyte y70 touch with 46 RGB fans and an LCD but i don't see that at his budget. 1000w would run a 4090 without issue. 1200W for this build is completely overkill.
I love all of Jason's PC building content, but the Boost My Build series is definitely my favorite. 💙
So glad you enjoy! I like making them (;
Hi there, just an advice pls. Is there a Z790 LGA1700 motherboard that is not strictly dual channel DDR5 RAM?
I’m playing RDR2 at 1440p ultra with a 4090 right now because my 4K mini led is broken (cooler master has ghosted me in the RMA process) and it’s awesome. I might be ruining myself with high frame rate gameplay.
What are the rest of your specs?
@@MrAnimescrazy 13900k with 64 gb of 6000mhz ddr5 ram. I’m playing with DLSS on quality and getting 120-160 fps depending on the situation but I capped it at 140 because the monitor is only 144hz.
Gooooood videos!!! I was looking for a 1.5k$ pc and im looking in your old vids to see what i can get! Ty for the learning :)
Glad I could help!
Is 5200mhz ram too slow for ryzen 5 7600 because in my country it is difficult to find 6000 or 5600 rams
It's slow but not unusable if you have no other options. You'll lose 5-ish percent fps and ram is a very easy upgrade later when prices become sane in your region cause they will.
If that is all you can get, 5200 will be fine.
I have a 14700k paired with a Liquid Freezer III 240 and it stays super cool, for anyone thinking about that combo. Now what gpu….
I have recently built a gaming computer and I see that my cpu temps Jim wildly from 30 to 50 just by browsing RUclips. What could be the cause of this. CPU is a i7 14700k and air is a deep cool LT 720.
Jason, do you have any plans on doing a video on wifi cards/adaptors? I feel like its a rather obscure part of the PC building considering most people end up buying an already built in wifi or use an old garbage wifi card/adaptor.
Thanks for the suggestion!
What’s your thoughts on the 7900 GRE?? Worth buying over the 7800XT for the 50 dollars? Or not or just get the 7900 XT and pay the difference??
The GRE is a good GPU
I've seen some reviewers say it's on average 10% better for about 10% more price.
Its a solid option. Check out our latest GPU Market Update video we actually compare these three there
Is core i9 14th gen, pny rtx 4070ti and samsung odessey g9 good build? I will probably upgrade rtx 5000 or 6000 series in future
Also rtx 4080 and 144hz monitor is an option. But what’s the point of rtx 4080 when the monitor can’t utilize the cpu, gpu at it’s maximum right?
Jason doesn't recommend the 14900K. Go with the 14700K instead. The rest looks good.
I really wouldn’t go 14900K personally, and definitely not with that GPU. If this is a gaming focused build go 7800X3D (we have a great sample build for that in our Best Builds February video) and if production focused go 14700k.
Both of these builds were just absolutely nuts
will a 12600kf i5 bottleneck a 4070 super ? or even ti {non} super
Best tech on the tube
Thank you Jason! :)
While I agree noctua asks a lot for the metal on their CPU coolers, one thing I (re)discovered recently is how superior (or inferior in that case?) the noise profile of their fans is compared to most other things on the market.
And this isn't about decibels so very hard to judge from a review.
I got a case with fans for my current build that every review about it said were decent fans but for me they just made my ears bleed even at 10% speed. Swapped them for noctuas and I can run them at 1250rpm (low speed version of the NF-A12x25) put my ear next to them, and I can't hear them at all.
the cut from the image at 00:31 to 00:36 is very funny, nice job
thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Yes you did fine. Might have undersized your GPU a little and overspent on your SSD but otherwise looks good.
You already bought the partsnand built it? Kinda late to be asking.
Will be fine. The GPU is a bit undersized compared to the CPU, but in a couple years you'll be able to upgrade that. Good 1440p 60FPS build.
It's a solid build. I think the 3060 12gb is still a good buy, especially if it let's you save up for an upgrade in the next 12-24 months to 5000 series nvidia or whatever amd is naming their next gen. I'm an ssd snob so I approve the choice but you could probably have been just as fine with like a Solidgim P41 or something in that class for a mixed OS/Programs drive.

Getting ready to sell my old PC and build a New one. Been piecing together. Got a 7800x3d, 32gb dominator 6000Mhz, 1000W Gold PSU, Asus Tuf B650, 2TB 980 pro, NZXT pc case. Will air cooling be enough? I'm doing a 1440P 360hz monitor build.
Yes Air Cooling is fine if you get a good one. The Thermalright Phantom Spirit is a good choice.
Also just note Jason doesn't recommend the Dominator RAM and Samsung SSD and prefers the MSI Tomahawk to the TUF.
@kelley09162 copy that! Also trying to to determine GPU. I'm really gonna be on my max for budget but I'm currently using 2080S but I wanna switch to AMD and give em a go. 7900xtx? I got about 1k to spend left. Or go with a 4080?
@@devvonbell939XTX is good but the 7900XT is also good if you want to save money.
Hi Jason thanks for the videos on the boost my build series been a fan of the series for a long time and figured you should know this. I'm also gonna throw in a question as you are way more experienced than me. I recently upgraded my PC about 6 months ago and currently have a ryzen 5 5600x, RTX 4070. The ryzen 5 5600x I've had for a long time and I can easily tell I'm getting bottlenecked in alot of games. Now I know I have to buy a new motherboard if I'm gonna go for a new CPU seeing as it looks like the ryzen 7 series looks to be the better fit for the regular 4070. Jason do you know what I should pickup for best price per performance for my GPU as I really don't want to overspend. Once again thank you very much! :)
The 5600X starts to hit a wall around the RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT (will hit a wall earlier with NVIDIA GPUs due to the extra driver overhead). A 5700X3D would fix that completely (or 5800X3D). Drop in upgrade, keep your mobo and RAM (as long as the ram is 3200 CL16 or faster).
What Jason said. All you need to do a upgrade your CPU to the 5700X3D.
Could you suggest a maybe cheaper version of the all white 4070ti super build around a similar or slightly less budget?
Do you still want the build white and are you looking at the 4070 Ti Super?
My best friend is a 3D animator and his PC has 64 GB of RAM in it. Big difference in rendering from 32GB. One of his co-workers actually has 128 GB of RAM in their build.
From my experience, Seagate hard drives are stupid slow and tend to fail a lot.
I'm hoping to finish my upgrade today. Ordered a 7800XT and should be in today. I considered the 7900 GRE, but since I'm up against a 5800X3D, I'd be hitting that wall in terms of performance.
Oh yes if this was actually for a professional production build I’d be making a bunch of different recommendations for sure. Hope your PC comes together great! Keep us posted
So how bottlenecked am I with a i9 9900kf and a rtx 4070 ti super? I'm planning on updating my platform next year.
Probably decently but I agree with waiting. Intel 15th Gen will be a new stocket so when those come out it will be a good time to upgrade.
Unless they're really expensive but if that's the case maybe those CPUs coming out will cause 14th Gen to drop in price.
What is the best gpu i can use with i7 4790k. (Without bottleneck ). . . .. [currently i am using r7 260x. .] . . I have a 4k monitor. . And i am gonna game. .(Not a fps freak)
I have a Ryzen 5 3600 paired with an RTX 3070 Ti 8GB VRAM. 16 GB DDR4 @ 3600MHz. Thoughts?
Upgrade your cpu with a 5700 X3d which is $240.00 right now.
A ryzen 5700X3D would be a great drop in upgrade.
Hey Jason, I have a Ryzen 7 5800x with a Corsair RM750x I want to get a new GPU. Thinking of the 4070super or ti super, can I plug and play that or should I consider upgrading the PSU and CPU? Thanks!
That CPU will bottleneck those GPUs so depending on your current system I might consider dropping in a 5700X3D first. See our Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024 video for more
I COMPLETELY disagree with you on the point that 32GB is enough, I have 32GB and all the time I will hit the software usage limit with having things still open in the background or on one of my other monitors while gaming. In a Godzilla build you should Absolutely have 64+ GB of RAM
Having recently built my own build after carefully and painstakingly picking the parts I needed for my build… I too make the reactions you do when looking at these part picker lists… I only started getting into PC components etc around July last year and now I can’t unsee other people’s mistakes… I really can’t tell if some of these people are trolling so you will show case their terrible build or not 🤣

My build is so out of wack. I bought the 7800x3D when it came out intending to build then, but life happened so some parts are way more expensive than they are now. Luckily motherboards, and GPU's have gone down, and that's pretty much all I had left. Still could have saved about $200, but it is what it is.
Good news is with the 7800X3D, most of the midrange and even budget B650 motherboards are totally fine! Hope the build came out ok!

@@binks_jim I think the 12700k is kind of a bad deal at this point. At 250, or in a bundle or something, that makes sense. But when I was shopping it was more than a 14600k, that clearly outperforms it.

You might be reacting to the bios warning that pops up on all builds like this
just my curiosity, is 7950X3D not a great CPU for Gaming/Editing?
The 7950X3D and 7900X3D have 2 CCDs but only 1 has VCache. Thus it disables one of the CCDs when gaming (the one without VCache). However it has struggled with turning off the correct CCD sometimes but it is getting better, but that is why I have not recommended it. If you are primarily gaming, the 7800X3D is the safe bet (1 CCD, with VCache), and it is still an incredibly strong 8 core CPU for other non-professional level tasks.
Great stuff as always Jason.
