One of life's cruelest tricks is letting you slowly go up the product stacks over the years, until you finally reach the top where you can play everything at the highest possible frame rates, but then you don't have time for games anymore because you're a dad with a full-time job 😔

I can't help but notice that for many gamers the 'last' and still as important thing is audio. Don't forget to save budget for some nice sound whether it be speakers or a headphone/headset setup. This makes many RPG games more immersive and give you an edge in the e-sports titles by hearing your enemy before seeing them.
When i buy my pc parts I ask myself 3 questions: 1) how much do I need it 2) where is the problem? 3) can I wait long enough 4 a deal?

I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now, I've always wanted to move to PC but ive been scared to mess up building one, but with the help of your videos I'm now awaiting for the delivery of the rest of my parts to arrive so I can build my first gaming PC
another great video! thanks! I was just thinking about looking for more info on how to find performance jumps (or lack thereof) for the amount of money I spend on PC parts. This is a video in the right direction for what is useful for me! cheers!
Watching all you’re videos and finding them so helpful. I’m not lying I’m well out of the gaming world but my daughter is now following in my earlier years. I think as well getting a budget in mind and trying to get the best value for your money is a great way to avoid falling down the rabbit hole and being disappointed. Currently awaiting the new gaming pc delivery!
Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I highly recommend considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for keeping your gaming setup clean and dust-free. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. Plus, it's compact and versatile, allowing you to clean even the tightest spaces. Give it a shot and let me know how it works for you! 😄
keep this flowing, we love this type of content
I genuinely laughed out loud at the IT Crowd reference. Thats one of the many reasons I love your content 🙌🏾 keep it up!
Thanks for your videos. You have taught me a lot about gaming PC's and just PC's in general. You have helped me tweak mine for best performance. Love your videos.

thanks for the info
You are a real ASSS saver thankyou and keep doi
ng the good work😍😍😍
The biggest thing I learned is that if you buy the right PC, you will get an amazing pc for gaming and productivity and media consumption scenarios. I was going to buy a console and a new PC in 2021 and ended up buying a Corsair Pre Build with a Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 3070 instead of two different devices. I added a 2TB SSD and memory to upgrade it to 32GB. I've got two devices in one - an amazing device to build content and work from - and play games. I wasn't focused on FPS - just wanted to play Flight Simulator. F1, and some other games. It feels like driving a ferrari every day when I work from it!
Total Cost ?!
@@userunavailable__ I spent about $2000. The pc spec and a console would have been 2500. The only reason I looked at a gaming/productivity pc was the supply chain issues with Xbox - I got tired waiting for one
@@daraghmorrissey 👏✨
Bro you probably spent 3000$ though, a console is 300$
I can’t afford to drop 2k but my current laptop isn’t cutting it anymore. I can’t complete any work on my music. All I wanna do is work on the things I love but it’s so unenjoyable. It doesn’t help that I don’t have many real joys in life so I’m just disappointed.
Needed this Ty ml
This channel is really helpfull thank you 😊
omg bro you are the best I am a huge fan keep up the amazing work!!!
Good informative video Marcus,
You should be proud of yourself that was a very good analogy!
Useful thx.
The best case is when you hang the components from fishing lines attached to the ceiling
I play WoW, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn (a GOG game) so my 3200G APU is all I need.
For the case, Ryzen Focus G Mystic Red case. Moved the bottom front intake fan to rear as exhaust and put a 140mm Pure Wings 2 fan in its place for good quiet airflow.
I noticed that some more demanding mmos and some strategy games requires a good cpu compared to singleplayer games or basic shooters. In new world my gtx3060ti bottlenecked 60% usage to my I7-7700 cpu that was running 100%.
I think this will be case for Ashes of creation also.
very good video with staight and simple information.
i think it depends on how big of a hobby it is for you; some people spend 5k on golf clubs and then loads of monthly fees. A high-end gaming PC is much cheaper in comparison
Who do you know that spends 5 grand on golf clubs.
@@RelentlessOhiox lol you clearly know nothing about golf. a nice driver that will last you some years will cost £1000. thats 1 club out of 12. not including spares

I'm in the same boat with a GPU but my wallet has double teamed with a few other allies to just flat out deny me. What sucks about that is the prices are down but other costs are eating the money.
Great video for beginners
Knowing what monitor you're going to be using is a must for starting off.

Got my first ever gaming pc I decided to go with i5-1140 and Gtx 3050 (I only have a 1080p monitor) it’s entry level but it plays most games between 60-100 FPS without ray tracing

I would suggest to always go for the best bang for buck. Splurging on high end hardware will probably make you feel stupid when you see all your hardware being sold for a lot less a few months later.
Imo. a big question is if you can reliably plan on upgrading a lot later. The best thing about a PC is that it’s flexible but the worst is that the markets for the products are often extremely volatile and with there being so many variants that can go wrong, often, this is what happens.
I think it’s good not to cheap out IF one plans to using the system a lot because it can seriously make one’s life a lot better if the system is not just decent enough but absolutely stable 100% of the time but overspending is a serious concern and patience is a virtue. Also, being overly cautious is not enjoyable because whenever you buy, a few months later, the current big thing is cheaper and this can spiral into constantly looking into upgrading. If one drops say, 2500$ on a full tower ( far from cheap it also far from totally outrageous) and plans on using it at least for, say, 5 years with minimal changes, that’s 500 / year which is pretty alright. If one however purchases for say, 1500$ which is perfectly reasonable but then upgrades twice for “just” 500, one is already at 2500$ again.
Not to mention that due to inflation, this can mean that one can end up getting the same system despite paying the same price one could have paid initially, if one gets unlucky or one has to wait for a long time for prices to drop again.
Overall, I think getting the timing just right in terms of one’s personal patience and the market is therefore perhaps the most important thing, aside from knowing what one actually needs.
Am in the process of building a new PC. I reckon the whole build will cost me about £1630(unless there is a sale or something) and that is before I even think about adding a graphics card and a monitor, that could add another £700-ish(depends on what monitor I choose to buy or I could just continue to use my TV as a monitor) to the cost. With a graphics card I am looking at the best part of £2000 and I already spent about £400 on case, motherboard and PSU. About to spend in a month £640 on some fans, CPU, cable extensions and other stuff. Still need to spend after that £600 on memory, NVMe drive, more fans and Windows 11.
Thank you Markus
It depends on what games you play and what resolution you play on.
Have been playing on a vr headset with a resolution of 7680x4320 mini led displays for 2 days now and its amazing it even looks better than a 8k tv because it has an insane pixel density of 70ppd wich is higher than all 8k tv’s its like looking through glass its also verry easy to run because it has eye tracking wich makes foveated rendering possible. It tracks your eyes and only makes the part of the screen Sharp where you are looking and the rest gets blurred out i dont notice any blurry stuff. I can run every game on a stable 90-120fps max settings with a 3090 ti
will just be playing games like Ark and 7DTD GTA and few others, so a 1660 should be fine always if i should go for 2060 or something like it but think i'll keep it simple and stay with 1660. But watching your vids makes me wonder. Keep them coming. maybe now i you touched a little on frame rate for graphics but what about what size of screen you have.
A year and a half later, I am so relieved I'm done my build. Don't even care about all the new stuff. There will always be new stuff.
5950X, 3070ti founders edition, 4000mhz CL19 ram, I've been having some much fun.
How much RAM?
Total Cost In $ ?!
Same specs here, I can pretty much mod any game and still get silky smooth performance. Complete graphical freedom
I invested to much time and money on my PC last year so I won't do that this year. Higher wattage on the next generation GPU's convinced me more.
Lol i just stuck at 1600w psu in my pc i like to overclock heavy so im preparing to overclock that 4090 when its out
@@dominiquesmith6745 and I guess that you will have an nice time doing that. I will keep my 850w psu and 3080 Ti a couple more years.
What I want from a new gaming pc:
- 5 years worth of future proofing, i.e. being able to play new games for that time at decent settings.
- good consistent framerate and latency
- I want the RGB case behind you that does tetris. I think its very nice aesthetically if your tower is colourful like that.
Nothing else really matters.
I have a Ryzen 5 5600x cpu and radeon 6700xt xfx speedster gpu with trident 16gb ram, Asus tuff gaming motherboard and 1tb ssd. Works awesome with the games I play. Later on plan to use this one maybe just for the stream and build another gaming rig.
What pre built PC do you recommend
I am looking forward to the Acer X32 and the PG42UQ OLED Swift.
Do a tour of your recording room and your personal setup
I heard part prices are coming down some. Currently have an M17R4 with a 3070 laptop. If prices continue to come down I’d deff build a stationary rig. Then eventually upgrade my laptop and just game off those two.
Well ram is pretty cheap rn. And gpu prices are going down. I would maybe wait a few more months tho.
I am good on my I7 9700k w/1660S, I7 9700KS w/3050, I9 9900k w/3060, and R3 3600 w/1660S. Yes, I know. That's a lot of PC's and still does fine with current games. I just need to replace the 1660S's with a 3050 and 3060. I don't really are for higher end GPU's as I do not plan on doing ray tracing or anything above 1080p.
Is there SSD like this but 2TB instead of 1?
Love the channel but never thought to ask.. do you stream Apex?
Can some please lmk the compatibility of the last high end pc build he has in his description? I’m ordering the parts tonight and I am getting a little nervous. 😰
Another fantastic video mate. I'm looking to build another PC, with about £4500/€5000 budget. Would you grab a RTX 3090 Ti or wait for the RTX 40 Series? My goal for gaming is playing games at 4K 60-120fps for single player games and 1400p with 120fps and higher for online games.
Any thoughts? Cheers!
With a budget like that I’d wait for the next gen. You can easily get that I’d say with a 3090 Ti but since you have the money to spend, I would wait.
Yeah I went all out on my pc spent as much as I could I have regret but not really
Please show us how to set up an elgato hd 60 to duel streaming pc set up please !!
hi, would you know of a decent cheaper option for ram? i got burgled and really am trying to am trying to save some money to complete a build i’ve managed to rustle up together
2:17 It's not called 4K because it's 4 times 1080p. It's because horizontally there is 3840 px which rounds to 4K. 1080 is 2K because the horizontal pixel count is 1920 which rounds to 2K. 1440p has 2560 px horizontally, which could be called 2.5K
Yeah, surprising he didn't know... he seemed quite serious!

i feel like i’m in school all of these videos i’m watching are confusing me so much
personally i want a pre built am my price range is £1500 to £2000 ive decided to go with a 3070 and a ryzen 7 5800x as my core with 16G of ram and 512GB of storage on a SSD and 1TB 7200RPM which i d not know what it means but thank you for the help of the core in this video !!!!!
I’ve just got a new pc in stead of upgrading and gone for i9 11900k and rtx 3070 with a Msi mag b560 mortar is that good bang for buck? What frames am I expecting?
1440p gaming is suddenly affordable. A RX 6700 or 3060ti and 5600x or Intel 10 400 with 32gb ram goes along way and you might be able to do it all for only a $1000.
Hi there, love the videos and it’s got me interested in a build. I’m a newbie to PC gaming and have never built a PC. I want to build a sim racing pc having been using Assetto Corsa on PS4 up to now. I want it to be reasonable future proof and immersion is important so I’ll want to be turning up the graphics. I’d love to see a build that would deliver what I’m after - can you, or anyone else help me out with a spec?
If you want something capable of playing a demanding game like ACC at 1440p ultrawide and up to 100FPS you'll want at least 3060ti, up to 3070ti, on a Ryzen 5 5600x and 16gb ram 3600mhz cl16
AC is easier to run as its older but mods do start to increase the load on the hardware
That Testris effect on those Dominator platinum tho....
I’m about to build my new pc on Friday and I don’t wanna think about how much has been spent lmao
I mean, I have a perfectly good 1080p 60hz TV and monitor that I still want to use; I’m completely satisfied with still using those as displays for my eventual first build. So I feel that getting an i5-11400F with a 3060 Ti is gonna be perfect for me.
EDIT: A lot of the replies are saying to go above 1080p 60hz. I certainly will at some point, but keep in mind that nearly all of my gaming experiences were on consoles. I guess I’m so used to 1080p60fps that I haven’t even thought about resolutions and framerates beyond that. But I guess my eyes will be opened soon enough. It would be cool to have a triple monitor setup.
Well 60hz at 1080p nowadays is pretty outdated compared to nowadays tech
@@lightelf Yeah, sure, but it still looks great to me, I don’t need to spend any extra money on displays, and it’s perfectly useable. 1080p60fps is what I was aiming for anyways. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
@@BLamb ok if you are a gamer that likes the quality of his experience I recommend selling your displays and get a 4K ultra wide from Samsung
Bro a 3060ti for 60hz 1080p?
That's overkill but future proof.
3060ti will easily do 1440p also for when you do decide to upgrade your monitor
I’ve been running the same PC for a while now and I got it pre built on a £900 budget. The work horse has done it’s job but now I’m moving into my forever home, I’ve set my sights on my man cave 🤣 this is what I’m planning for the build -
Mboard - msi meg x570s ace max or (x570s master 4x m.2 drives)
Cpu- R9 5950x or 5900x
GPU - 3080ti
Power - corsair rm1000x
Cooler - msi mag core liquid 360r v2
Hdd - 4tb seagate barracuda sata
SSD - samsung 980 pro 2tb
Ram - corsair vengance 32gb lpx/rgb or 3600mhz cl16 crucial balistix
Case - y60 in white
This will be my first from scratch build :) I’ve done upgrades on my current pc but nothing more. Currently running a 3800x cpu and a 5700xt GPU :)

How can I add WiFi to my PC and built in speakers to the tower?
After building a 5000 dollar PC a few years ago. I can not go back to have budget cheap stuff. It is so damn bad lol.
Hey im considering getting a pc. Any suggestions for what to buy like mouse, keyboard etc.
Don't cheap out on a power supply. Before buying components, list out the TDP of every component and add them. Then add about 100 - 150 watts extra to the total TDP and buy a power supply accordingly. If you are on budget, modular doesn't make sense, go for non modular but from a good brand like coolermaster, evga Asus or Corsair. Do your research before buying. But again DONT CHEAP OUT ON POWER SUPPLY OR YOU MIGHT SEE YOUR PC ON FIRE MID-GAME.
