On the $1500 Build, what is the reson you picked that MB over the Tomhawk? Do you prefer this one over that? Sorry, I am trying build on the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and trying to pick the best MB to pair with it. I only game with it.
These deals are awesome, I want to build another machine! I do need a monitor though, can you do a higher end monitor segment, need bigger than 27/28" 4k!
I'm thinking of making a new build this year! 2 years ago i went to a mini pc and have enjoyed that, but thinking I want to do an AM5 build. Thank you for all the work you put in so I don't have to! Although it looks like I need to save up more for a bigger budget and possibly wait until xmas or next prime day.
I went on a spending spree and got a Palit 4080 super for 930 $ ,B650 Aorus elite ax ice for 164$ and silicon power 64gb 6000mhz for 177$ I hope this ram works with the motherboard I got.
Jason, you'll have to doublecheck this, but I think on the 7800x3d going above 6000MT/s on the RAM can actually cause a loss of performance as it causes the Infinity Fabric to downclock.
Keep up with these updates it actually way more helpful than you may think. I’m saving up myself and watching this type of content help with deal findings!
For that the $750 build here is perfect! No need to spend more but if you want even more performance headroom then the $1000 build would give you super super high 1080p performance
Also be aware that if there is a microcenter near you, they often have great bundles. At the one in Charlotte, they have the 7800x3d, b650e TUF gaming, and 32gb DDR5 6000 for only $490.
@@d_Hamrick13 that is good to hear, I’m extremely tempted by it as it’s basically a free motherboard at the current price, maybe that alone justifies it
you will be heavenly dissapointed in this card if you have a 1080p monitor refresh rate 185hz you will be fine. IF you want 1440p the card isnt strong enough, and you will need high end ryzen 7000 or i9 13900/14900
@@quenoun 7800 xt is just a 6800 non xt variant. You would do better getting a 6950 xt. Or 7900xtx which should of been named the 7900 xt. The 7800 xt should of been the 7700 xt, and then 7700 xt should be a 7600 non xt.
Would you say the MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard is a good motherboard to pair with either 7700x or x3D cpu Seen a good price on one I’m not super interested in motherboards, as long as it works and has decent enough features I’m happy.
Thank you for keeping me up to date on prices and parts! your the Best, love the way you put out these updates... For prime day I am wanting a new gaming chair...lol wonder if you will make a Best Gaming Chair 2024....lmao
One of the best deals right now for a budget 1440p/4k build is xfx 6950xt for $499! I was able to put together a build with it on PC part picker including a $113 5600x for just under $1000 usd! Also includes 16gb of ddr4 3600 cl16, 1tb p3 plus gen 3 ssd., msi 750psu, and any case in the 60-70 dollar range. Def a beast of a build for the price
In Canada the last 3 weeks it has jumped in price from$455 to $549. WIth a fake "$100 off sale price showing", should be able to charge these companies for that kind of shit
Well, this has been a complete bust. The 7800X3D is the same price as it has been which is $50 more than a few weeks ago. The 7900 GRE is essentially the same price it's been for a while. Overall purchasing a few weeks ago would have been a better deal. Hope others have had better luck.
In all honesty you don't "NEED" 7800X3D. Like, unless you're trying to get 900fps in 1080p in Valorant, 7500F will do just fine in just about any game except for Factorio that just LOVES the 3D cache... no reason to overpay for 7800X3D right now, get into AM5 on a budget and then upgrade to 11800X3D or whatever the last CPU for this platform is gonna be down the line for, hopefully, noticeable performance boost. These are available for just above 1/3rd of the price of 7800X3D with the caveat of ordering straight from China... (I mean these are CPUs for OEM manufacturers, it's basically 7600 without iGPU) For reference I have 7500F, 7700X and 7950X3D as of right now across my machines. 7500F lives in 3L case with low profile 4060 from Gigabyte :3
Trying to save up and get a pc...FINALLY after 16 years (21 years old now) on console. Console is just a bunch of young kids now. Everyone older (25+) has a pc, now...for the most part
Wendell of Level1Tech is stating (RUclips vid) that intel 13 & 14 series cpus (only top cpus confirmed) are showing signs of high level degredation/failure. Looked specifically at gaming servers and found a high number of failing cpus. Wendell says possible 50% failure rate with a possible 50% of those cpus (so 25% total) probably partially fixed via future bios updates but the other 50% (25% of the total cpus) being complete failures. Both Gamers Nexus & Wendell tend to indicate Intel unable to track down the problem as its too random and so are unable to accurately solve the problem ifs its possible - the advice is give Intel a full miss until the problems solved
I bought the acre 1U because you recommended it in a past video and let me tell you THIS THING IS BRIGHT AS HELL I keep my monitor at 90% because it’s so bright in general so if you’re concerned with the brightness don’t be the 1U is bright enough Also I’ll say this monitor is absolutely beautiful coming from a Asus 1080 24’ this was a game changer the colors are so vibrant and beautiful it makes playing any game or watching anything truly great Thanks so much again Jason I consistently watch your videos because you recommend some amazing stuff for the price 😎🤝🏽💯
Thank you for your advice. I've just completed my first build in 8 years. Ryzen 7800x3d, 7900 GRE, MSI tomahawk b650, Corsair 5000d airflow. I ran into a problem where the AIO radiator was blocking the CPU power sockets on the mobo so I have been forced to run the rad as Intake. However I have 3 extra fans in the side of the 5000D for intake. With 3 on top and 1 rear for extract. It's a full blackout build with no RGB
Hey Jason. I just ordered this videos $1000 build! Only difference is I just got the ASUS TUF B650 Plus WiFi instead of what you recommended because Amazon didn’t have them. This is my first ever pc and I don’t know much but I trust you.
Whenever I use MSI mag PSU in partpicker with intel boards I always get a warning saying that the psu doesnt have a specific extra power cord (used for high load or overcloking). Is this an actual issue
Jason, I'd like to see you start to cover a little larger size monitors. I'm currently looking for 31-34" 1440p (preferably) over 100Hz (preferably), obviously during these sales events. You only seem to go as high as the 27" variety.
I got you! Hop over to our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor 2024 video! Its got more variety and I just finished updating the links in the description there for sales. Look for the fire emojis
if you have a microcenter nearby you could get 12600kf +z790 + Ram bundle for the $750 build instead, boost your performance while maintain the same budget
Ive been eyeing the Fractal North for a long while now. That Neo Air 2 gets me like 80% of the aesthetic for a 1/3 of the price. Definitely need too look at that now. The wood would match my desk so nicely.
People aren't sleeping on it but they can't justify it with overabundance of 2nd hand 6600XT, 6700XT, 3060Ti and 3070s on the second-hand market right now. Card with problems vs cards without problems at similar price and notably better performance. The choice is obvious. I have A770 16GB (Acer Bifrost) but it's more of a collectible than a functional product for me... maybe one day it will be Blender rendering beast but for the time being even at heavily discounted down to 229 recently it's just not great. Also, the only game that I wanted to play on it up to this day has framepacing issues and atrocious 1% lows (Hunt: Showdown). Also keep in mind these cards outside of US not only have abysmal availability, they're also priced stupid. A770 was selling 320eur at the lowest for the longest time...
the more you buy, the more you save. Its now your chance to buy a 4000 series so you can collect one before I launch the 5000 series. Collect them all now.
I got a 7800X3d at Microcenter a couple of weeks ago for $223, so I'm hoping for a good higherish end GPU to go on a big sale. They had a bundle deal where I got the 7800X3d, an MSI B650 Tomahawk WIFI, and a 2x16 kit of the Teamgroup ram for $563. If one of Amazon or Newegg has something like a 7900XT $100 off I'll be a happy camper.
Right now on amazon the 7800x3d is $384 and the 7900x3d is $327. Given that that 7800 is the better chip, it seems AMD flipped the prices around on these two chips.
Yeah they are going the "force everyone to buy the next CPUs" route with the 7800X3D. But because the 7900X3D has issues and isn't as strong as the 7800X3D they are dropping the price on those
Teamgroup uses micron ddr5, the worst overclocking ddr5, this is why its always cheaper. corsair usually uses sk hynix, and if its a modern kit usually a die sk hynix.
funny how intel 13th and 14th gen are discounted through the entire lineup. can't possibly be related to the fact that it's getting clearer and clearer that something is fundamentally broken within them 😅
I’ve been buying parts all year and all I have left is Cpu Gpu and PSU im planning on buy all 3 at the end of the month so I can build it with my oldest daughter when I take a week off in the beginning of august I’m hoping the 7800x3d goes back down to 340 cuz 400+ is to much considering it’s been 380 or lower for most of the year, I’m still stuck between the 4080 super and 7900xtx 😅 it’ll most likely come down to pricing
For the $750 budget the ram sticks that are in the list are slightly bigger then what the case has for clearance. The ram size is 38.5mm and the clearance is UP TO 38mm. Even though its a small margin it probably isn't a good idea to get that specific ram. A good alternative is the teamgroup t-force vulcan z 32gb 2x16gb ddr4 3200mhz c16. It has the same specs for $50.99 before any deals. No rgb however.
I think you're confused. Are you talking about the cooler's RAM clearance? This cooler isn't going to overhang the RAM, and even if it did, you'd just move the fan up a tiny bit. There is nothing in the PC case that will impact the RAM. We did this exact build during our Best Budget Gaming PC 2024 video so check that out for more information. Hope that helps!
Case has no RAM clearance... CPU cooler might IF it overhangs the memory - pretty much all CPUs talked about in this video don't need anything beyond stock cooler. If you have enough height available in your case, just go Arctic Freezer 36 (it's top tier performance) for 20eur or whatever it costs in freedom units. The next best thing for the money is Thermalright Peerless Assassin or Phantom Spirit but they are MASSIVE.
cant wait till prime day, good 1500 build but im not changing anything, i looked through ram bc i switched to a different motherboard so i found cheaper ram thats good. i hope i wont have to update my bios bcits still a confusing hassle for me
I’m checking Prime DAY and I’ve seen some interesting sales on GPUS The PowerColor RX 6750XT fighter 12GB is going for $300 right now. I believe it’s a good deal for entry level 1440p gaming and will last a couple years before having to mess with settings. Also the PowerColor 7800XT Red Devil 16GB is on sale for $476. I believe this is a good price for it and will last at least 5 years in 1440p before having to mess with settings. Additionally there is also the ASUS Dual 3060 12GB going for $270 which is meh. Yeah it cheaper than 6750XT but it is well worth the extra $30 to get something much faster, but then if you value Nivdia then that’s the GPU for you and will last a couple years. Also there is the Gigabyte Aero OC RTX 4070 12GB going for $509 right now. I believe this is too much money for a 12GB GPU but you do get Nivdia features if you value them
I have as Sapphire Pulse 7900 GRE and it's a champ! I also own a 4090 in my main PC so I have a good performance reference point. You won't feel like you're missing out with the GRE.
@@maddad4767 I would avoid Bifrost... if it's anything like on my A770 it's just goddamn awful cooling performance and is noisy. With AsRock go Steel Legend or Phantom Gaming. Steel Legend is usually cheapest after Challenger, at least in my region - the only problem/benefit of it is that it only comes in white but who cares about aesthetics when bargain hunting.
Hi Jason, fantastic video! Was wondering, is there a website that keeps track of all the collab versions of parts? (spider verse 4070, frost punk 2 7700xt, sonic b760m mb) I usually have to find them individually and sometimes it’s a pain.
Thanks for this! With all of the controversy with Asus, do you have any recommendations on the motherboard? I'm planning on buying the Asus z690-E for $230.
Not a dedicated video outside this one no, but check out our youtube community page or out twitter/threads @pcbuilderjason. I am posting the best deals I see! And I am keeping the recommendations updated in our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor and Best Gaming Monitor videos for the current sales!
hey, great video as always! This is my go-to channel for building my first gaming pc :) a quick question - do you have any data how much were the discounts on last year's prime days (both USD/EUR-wise and percent-wise)? I've reviewed the Newegg sales (for my own interest, as I am from Europe) and besides some exceptions, they don't seem so significant - e.g. GPUs dropping just by 20 USD, etc. Is this the expected result of what we can expect tomorrow on Prime day?
For GPUs and CPUs yes I have a spreadsheet of prices I've been updated monthly for 3 years now (see our GPU and CPU Market Update videos for more). So I am able to post and highlight the reals deals there (; For monitors and the rest its more from my general experience of watching the prices
First, thanks so much for you efforts in keeping us informed. Your knowledge and research is amazing. Got quick question... the RX 6800 looks to be a great value. In your opinion would it support the MSI Optix MAG342CQR (32in Ultra Wide you list)? Thanks for your thoughts.
i3 12100F doesn't make financial sense unless you get it 2nd hand for $50 and got your hands on decent motherboard for that platform IMHO. Ryzen 7500F is the new budget king. At $90 you might pay few bucks more and get one of those bad boys straight from China instead and not get locked yourself into a dead-end platform with no viable upgrade paths (especially now that we hear about all those Intel issues at 13th and 14th gen CPUs...). One can make point for video editing specifically but beyond that isolated use-case, I would avoid Intel until 15th gen.
JASON - thanks for this AWSOME video !!! I watch EVERY video you put out and you ARE the best. Thank you. Can you recommend a QUIET case and quiet solution for STUDIO Gaming and Digital AUDIO workstation combo (high single thread performance) to go along my radeon RX 6800 ?????
So glad they are helpful! For a quiet cooler go AIO over an air cooler. For a pc case I like the Phanteks G500A (the one on the desk next to me) its very quiet
Fantastic info as usual Jason! 1st builder here. Going big....any recommendations for a curved Oled monitor for gaming? Going to get the 4080 Super, 7800X3d cpu, ......Also suggestions for the coolest white fishtank RGB style case?
For the Case definitely the Montech King 95 Pro. The value is good for that Case because it includes 6 Fans. Other Fish Tank style cases don't include any.
Nice combo you got going! Hop over to our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor 2024 video or our Best Gaming Monitor 2024 (for 4k) video for more options. I'm keeping the recommendations in the description there updated for current sales. For the pc case I agree on the Montech King 95 Pro! But there a cheaper one that's also cool the Montech XR
From the $750 build, which GPU is better suited? 6800 for $349.99 or 7700 XT for $399.99? Just for gaming and thinking long term, considering Polaris is no longer supported by AMD (judging by the drivers)
See the benchmarks we cover in the video for the performance difference. But Id go for that 6800 personally. Its linked in the description here for $339!
@@PCBuilderChannel I watched the benchmarks, coupled with some other videos with gameplay, and I'm surprised the 6800 can go toe-to-toe against the 7700 XT. Besides the concern about future support by AMD, I thank you for the recommendation
Is the i9 13900KF not good for 440 Euro? I thought its good. I have the RTX 3080 10GB just bought and I have the i5 12400f and thought about an upgrade. Thought about i9 13900K or i7 13700K. What do you guys think?
No sadly! The reason you are seeing it for cheaper its it and the 7950X3D are different architecture than the 7800X3D and don't run as well. We cover this more in our dedicated 7800X3D build guide if you want to check that out for more
Hey Jason, I watched your motherboard video and Got the MSI b650 Tomahawk Wifi instead of the ASUS TUF B650 Plus WiFi. Was that ok? I am assuming that the tomahawk is better
Well maybe you should think about why you buy Intel and Nvidia in the first place? Perfectly understandable if you need their benefits for certain software (like I have an Intel cpu and gpu because of content creation) but if you're just using your pc for gaming, daily tasks, and aren't going for the absolute best gpu, AMD would probably be the better choice... It just doesn't make sense to make content for what is generally the worse option for most people.
@@Zxanonblade you make a great point. I’m not going to argue with your logic. It makes perfect sense. I’m only asking for an Intel and NVIDIA build. It will cost more but there are people like me that haven’t gone the AMD route for whatever reasons…
@@J_Bwn I agree that seeing an Intel and Nvidia build would be nice, just not only for the sake of being Intel + nvidia. If it was featured with the intent of providing a guide for productivity focused builds that might need Nvidia or Intel, then I see a pretty good use for it.
you can save $100 on the last build with this microcenter bundle AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, ASUS B650-E TUF Gaming, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 48GB DDR5-5200 Kit, Computer Build Bundle the ram is a nice 48gb 2x24 kit but its CL40, too slow?
curious your opinion on monitors as my cat has ended my current monitors life...would you prefer to spend the extra money for the suggested OLED 1440p or save some money and get the suggested IPS 4k? (7800x3d + 4090) Was also considering just saving until 4k OLED prices drop in the future and getting the suggested IPS 1440p. should add that I basically only game on my setup, and half of that time is spent in VR sim racing. other times playing shooters or helldivers, very occasionally single player games like star wars survivor
Oled is hard to beat and hard to leave once you’ve tried it. That being said I myself game on a 4k monitor and love it. You really can’t go wrong here (:
I think the advice is sound....except for AMD. I think the advice should be to wait on anything AMD until Zen 5 is out AND has some major testing behind it. I don't buy "independent testers have looked at it" Tech Spot or wherever. Unless the tests are coming from tried and true sources like GN and HUB, they don't hold any weight for me! You made an assertion about what the 9000 series "could" be and that isn't tested yet. As for Intel, it would seem the prudent advice is to suggest all of Alder Lake and only the lower chips from Raptor and RLR. I think Intel doesn't want to admit that A: They pushed that 10nm node TOO far and B: The issue is most likely pushing WAY too much power into the system to make those higher clocks on the 13900 and 14900K chips. At least Arrow Lake is being put on a sold TSMC node and that will help and I am waiting to see how Battlemage turns out. Good stuff though!
Oh I agree! Grain of salt on anything until 3rd party testing is out. My argument for the 7600 and 7800X3D are taking into account the new CPUs launching though. The 7600 is cheap enough compared to what we suspect the prices on the new CPUs will be that is a great time to bring more budget builders into AM5, and the 7800X3D is very likely to remain the most powerful for a long time to come. That being said if people do want to wait I want them to be able to take advantage of the current sales too so I give my recommendations for that. But I wouldn't buy any other AM5 CPU right now!
Just bought a 6750 XT on ebuyer in the UK for £300 - do you still think this is a good deal? Upgrading from gtx 1080 so I can play Avatar: Frontiers. Going to upgrade my 3700X to a 5600 too. Also just snagged a CoolerMaster 850W for £70 on FB marketplace - brand new!
Im currently running a i5 11400f, RTX 3060Ti, 16gb 3200 dual channel ram. This PC is actually a Prebuilt CYberpowerPC I bought at the end of the pandemic. Im debating if I should upgrade to AM5 during Amazon Prime or wait another year 🤔
If you are happy with your current performance no need to upgrade. But I do think this Prime Day is going to be a good time to jump into AM5 with the 7600 since its a great price and sets you up for all the future upgrades
@@PCBuilderChannel Thanks for the reply...im actually thinking of buying the 7500f from aliexpress on sale for $119 right now...what do you think of that cpu for the next 5 years?
Hello, I bought my first gaming pc about 6 months ago and am looking at upgrading it. Right now I have a ASRock B660M-C Motherboard, NVidia RTX 3060, I5-12400F 12 Gen CPU, 32 gig ram and I've already purchased a 1000w power supply to install. Any suggestions on which CPU and GPU would play well with one another and not have any bottlenecking happen? Thank you for your help.
So for the GPU the 6800 or 7700XT would be good. Unfortunately there isn't much upgrade CPU wise. All the 13th and 14th Gen K CPUs have issues right now. Plus K CPUs go better with Z Series Motherboards anyway.

@@-ampm- I assume Amazon's going to do the same thing tomorrow for prime day. They started bumping up the prices on a lot of stuff 3 weeks ago
Thanks!🙏🏻
Happy Monday Dan!
Well, this has been a complete bust. The 7800X3D is the same price as it has been which is $50 more than a few weeks ago. The 7900 GRE is essentially the same price it's been for a while. Overall purchasing a few weeks ago would have been a better deal. Hope others have had better luck.
In all honesty you don't "NEED" 7800X3D. Like, unless you're trying to get 900fps in 1080p in Valorant, 7500F will do just fine in just about any game except for Factorio that just LOVES the 3D cache... no reason to overpay for 7800X3D right now, get into AM5 on a budget and then upgrade to 11800X3D or whatever the last CPU for this platform is gonna be down the line for, hopefully, noticeable performance boost.
These are available for just above 1/3rd of the price of 7800X3D with the caveat of ordering straight from China... (I mean these are CPUs for OEM manufacturers, it's basically 7600 without iGPU)
For reference I have 7500F, 7700X and 7950X3D as of right now across my machines. 7500F lives in 3L case with low profile 4060 from Gigabyte :3
Jason's my GO TO guy. Best in the business.
Thanks for all the support! And thank you so much for watching.
Trying to save up and get a pc...FINALLY after 16 years (21 years old now) on console. Console is just a bunch of young kids now. Everyone older (25+) has a pc, now...for the most part
Thanks, Jason! _You're a prince!_ 👑
Happy to help! (:

Wendell of Level1Tech is stating (RUclips vid) that intel 13 & 14 series cpus (only top cpus confirmed) are showing signs of high level degredation/failure. Looked specifically at gaming servers and found a high number of failing cpus. Wendell says possible 50% failure rate with a possible 50% of those cpus (so 25% total) probably partially fixed via future bios updates but the other 50% (25% of the total cpus) being complete failures. Both Gamers Nexus & Wendell tend to indicate Intel unable to track down the problem as its too random and so are unable to accurately solve the problem ifs its possible - the advice is give Intel a full miss until the problems solved
Helpful as always!
Glad to hear it!
gave a like, this was very thorough, thanks!
So glad it was helpful!
Very informative as always!
So glad you enjoyed!
Thank you, i just built my first pc... typing from it too
We love to hear it, congrats on your first build! Very exciting!! So glad that we could help, thanks for tuning in ;)
cant believe that value for the 7900xt, awesome builds, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
I bought the acre 1U because you recommended it in a past video and let me tell you THIS THING IS BRIGHT AS HELL I keep my monitor at 90% because it’s so bright in general so if you’re concerned with the brightness don’t be the 1U is bright enough
Also I’ll say this monitor is absolutely beautiful coming from a Asus 1080 24’ this was a game changer the colors are so vibrant and beautiful it makes playing any game or watching anything truly great
Thanks so much again Jason I consistently watch your videos because you recommend some amazing stuff for the price 😎🤝🏽💯
Thank you for sharing! So glad we could help (:
Thank you for your advice. I've just completed my first build in 8 years. Ryzen 7800x3d, 7900 GRE, MSI tomahawk b650, Corsair 5000d airflow.
I ran into a problem where the AIO radiator was blocking the CPU power sockets on the mobo so I have been forced to run the rad as Intake. However I have 3 extra fans in the side of the 5000D for intake. With 3 on top and 1 rear for extract. It's a full blackout build with no RGB
Hey Jason. I just ordered this videos $1000 build! Only difference is I just got the ASUS TUF B650 Plus WiFi instead of what you recommended because Amazon didn’t have them. This is my first ever pc and I don’t know much but I trust you.
Nice! Happy to help with your first build!!
i can listen to you talk all day
Glad you are enjoying the content!
Love your content Jason. And the hair.
Thank you!
Whenever I use MSI mag PSU in partpicker with intel boards I always get a warning saying that the psu doesnt have a specific extra power cord (used for high load or overcloking). Is this an actual issue
i got myself a 5600x with a 3080 for 740usd
Jason, I'd like to see you start to cover a little larger size monitors. I'm currently looking for 31-34" 1440p (preferably) over 100Hz (preferably), obviously during these sales events. You only seem to go as high as the 27" variety.
I got you! Hop over to our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor 2024 video! Its got more variety and I just finished updating the links in the description there for sales. Look for the fire emojis
Fingers crossed for some deals on 4k OLEDs and 4TB NVMEs when prime day starts🤞
The single player games are playable on near vintage cards. The modern fps games like COD and battlefield needs $ 800- 900 cards. 🎉
if you have a microcenter nearby you could get 12600kf +z790 + Ram bundle for the $750 build instead, boost your performance while maintain the same budget
Always a fan of checking your local Microcenter! Sadly the closest one to me is a 12 hour drive ):
Welcome back, I'm Jason "The 450k Man" new intro.
your 1500 build is exactly what im trying to build tomorrow, cmon amazon prime day
Ive been eyeing the Fractal North for a long while now. That Neo Air 2 gets me like 80% of the aesthetic for a 1/3 of the price. Definitely need too look at that now. The wood would match my desk so nicely.
Just note Lian Li is coming out with the 217 which has that Wood Aesthetic though I don't know when it's coming out.
@@kelley09162 Ohh nice to know. Im in a Lian Li 205m right now and its a great case. Ill keep that in mind too!
@@paul022887yes they showed it off at Computec but don't know if they have a release date yet
People sleeping on the a580! It's not that far behind A750-A770. Very good value
Love to see Intel bringing the value!
People aren't sleeping on it but they can't justify it with overabundance of 2nd hand 6600XT, 6700XT, 3060Ti and 3070s on the second-hand market right now. Card with problems vs cards without problems at similar price and notably better performance. The choice is obvious. I have A770 16GB (Acer Bifrost) but it's more of a collectible than a functional product for me... maybe one day it will be Blender rendering beast but for the time being even at heavily discounted down to 229 recently it's just not great. Also, the only game that I wanted to play on it up to this day has framepacing issues and atrocious 1% lows (Hunt: Showdown).
Also keep in mind these cards outside of US not only have abysmal availability, they're also priced stupid. A770 was selling 320eur at the lowest for the longest time...
Sales time!!
Yes!
the more you buy, the more you save. Its now your chance to buy a 4000 series so you can collect one before I launch the 5000 series. Collect them all now.
Let’s go Jason!!! #CatDadsForPrimeDay2024 !!!
Ps; those Montech cases are great price for value! Watch for prime day deals!
Cat Dads!
I got a 7800X3d at Microcenter a couple of weeks ago for $223, so I'm hoping for a good higherish end GPU to go on a big sale. They had a bundle deal where I got the 7800X3d, an MSI B650 Tomahawk WIFI, and a 2x16 kit of the Teamgroup ram for $563. If one of Amazon or Newegg has something like a 7900XT $100 off I'll be a happy camper.
Damn I wish we've had Microcenter in Europe... all our retail prices are beyond fucked.... but we have a REALLY good second-hand market!
He deserved more subs
We are growing fast and sure appreciate it!
How do you feel about
Asus Prime B650M
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
Thermaltake Contac 9 SE
XFX Speedster RX7600XT 16GB?
Right now on amazon the 7800x3d is $384 and the 7900x3d is $327. Given that that 7800 is the better chip, it seems AMD flipped the prices around on these two chips.
Yeah they are going the "force everyone to buy the next CPUs" route with the 7800X3D. But because the 7900X3D has issues and isn't as strong as the 7800X3D they are dropping the price on those
Teamgroup uses micron ddr5, the worst overclocking ddr5, this is why its always cheaper. corsair usually uses sk hynix, and if its a modern kit usually a die sk hynix.
I'm gonna buy a 13700k today really cheap and if it fails with stability issues I'll join the class action lawsuit against Intel, easy money!
I scored at friend's pc recycling warehouse got new 4070 12gb free 😁
funny how intel 13th and 14th gen are discounted through the entire lineup. can't possibly be related to the fact that it's getting clearer and clearer that something is fundamentally broken within them 😅
Tomorrow but nice builds. It's Prime Day! Day 1 tom'w.
But Fantastech is live today and those AMD GPU deals are coming in hot!
I’ve been buying parts all year and all I have left is Cpu Gpu and PSU im planning on buy all 3 at the end of the month so I can build it with my oldest daughter when I take a week off in the beginning of august I’m hoping the 7800x3d goes back down to 340 cuz 400+ is to much considering it’s been 380 or lower for most of the year, I’m still stuck between the 4080 super and 7900xtx 😅 it’ll most likely come down to pricing
For the $750 budget the ram sticks that are in the list are slightly bigger then what the case has for clearance. The ram size is 38.5mm and the clearance is UP TO 38mm. Even though its a small margin it probably isn't a good idea to get that specific ram. A good alternative is the teamgroup t-force vulcan z 32gb 2x16gb ddr4 3200mhz c16. It has the same specs for $50.99 before any deals. No rgb however.
I think you're confused. Are you talking about the cooler's RAM clearance? This cooler isn't going to overhang the RAM, and even if it did, you'd just move the fan up a tiny bit. There is nothing in the PC case that will impact the RAM. We did this exact build during our Best Budget Gaming PC 2024 video so check that out for more information. Hope that helps!
Case has no RAM clearance... CPU cooler might IF it overhangs the memory - pretty much all CPUs talked about in this video don't need anything beyond stock cooler. If you have enough height available in your case, just go Arctic Freezer 36 (it's top tier performance) for 20eur or whatever it costs in freedom units. The next best thing for the money is Thermalright Peerless Assassin or Phantom Spirit but they are MASSIVE.

First!
cant wait till prime day, good 1500 build but im not changing anything, i looked through ram bc i switched to a different motherboard so i found cheaper ram thats good.
i hope i wont have to update my bios bcits still a confusing hassle for me
It is really cool that you do vids like this to help people save money. I appreciate the effort you put into a video like this. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
I love your videos, although i dont have a pc of my own yet. One day, i will be able to get the best bang for my buck because of people like you.
Thank you so much! So happy to help
@PCBuilderChannel no, thank you, sir! Btw did you find the fountain of youth? You look 20 years younger! 😂👏 have a good one and until the next 📹 😅
I’m checking Prime DAY and I’ve seen some interesting sales on GPUS
The PowerColor RX 6750XT fighter 12GB is going for $300 right now. I believe it’s a good deal for entry level 1440p gaming and will last a couple years before having to mess with settings.
Also the PowerColor 7800XT Red Devil 16GB is on sale for $476. I believe this is a good price for it and will last at least 5 years in 1440p before having to mess with settings.
Additionally there is also the ASUS Dual 3060 12GB going for $270 which is meh. Yeah it cheaper than 6750XT but it is well worth the extra $30 to get something much faster, but then if you value Nivdia then that’s the GPU for you and will last a couple years.
Also there is the Gigabyte Aero OC RTX 4070 12GB going for $509 right now. I believe this is too much money for a 12GB GPU but you do get Nivdia features if you value them
$114 for fhe 5600x and definitely better to go with am4 than 12400f. The upgrade to a 5700X3D will be cheaper ocerall compared to lg1700.
Yass the monitor i comment about is featured
i have a i3 12100f and a rx 6600 i’m thinking about upgrading to a i7 12700kf and a 7800xt are these good upgrades ?
Yes good upgrades
I'm hoping for the 7900GRE to go on sale. If it does will be an amazing deal.
Yes!
XFX and Acer Bifrost are $529 thinking about pulling the trigger
@@maddad4767 here in Dubai the cheapest 7900gre is around 720$ so hoping on the Amazon sale it goes on decent price.
I have as Sapphire Pulse 7900 GRE and it's a champ! I also own a 4090 in my main PC so I have a good performance reference point. You won't feel like you're missing out with the GRE.
@@maddad4767 I would avoid Bifrost... if it's anything like on my A770 it's just goddamn awful cooling performance and is noisy. With AsRock go Steel Legend or Phantom Gaming. Steel Legend is usually cheapest after Challenger, at least in my region - the only problem/benefit of it is that it only comes in white but who cares about aesthetics when bargain hunting.
If the acer nitro drops down to about the same price as the asrock monitor on prime day which would you recommend?
Hi Jason, fantastic video! Was wondering, is there a website that keeps track of all the collab versions of parts? (spider verse 4070, frost punk 2 7700xt, sonic b760m mb) I usually have to find them individually and sometimes it’s a pain.
The super flower leadex 3 850w is on sale for $80
Thanks for this! With all of the controversy with Asus, do you have any recommendations on the motherboard? I'm planning on buying the Asus z690-E for $230.
For Intel the ASRock Z790 Riptide WiFi has good reviews and is currently $190.
An i7 13700kf can be had for $380CAD. way less than this listed $520 AMD.
Whooo!
Its a big week for pc builders!
Jason will you be making an exclusive video on monitor deals during these prime day and fantastech sales? please.
Not a dedicated video outside this one no, but check out our youtube community page or out twitter/threads @pcbuilderjason. I am posting the best deals I see! And I am keeping the recommendations updated in our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor and Best Gaming Monitor videos for the current sales!
great vid man,could you do a vid on the best 360hz monitors
For that hop over to our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor 2024 video! I just finished marking the deals in the description there with fresh fire emojis
hey, great video as always! This is my go-to channel for building my first gaming pc :) a quick question - do you have any data how much were the discounts on last year's prime days (both USD/EUR-wise and percent-wise)? I've reviewed the Newegg sales (for my own interest, as I am from Europe) and besides some exceptions, they don't seem so significant - e.g. GPUs dropping just by 20 USD, etc. Is this the expected result of what we can expect tomorrow on Prime day?
For GPUs and CPUs yes I have a spreadsheet of prices I've been updated monthly for 3 years now (see our GPU and CPU Market Update videos for more). So I am able to post and highlight the reals deals there (;
For monitors and the rest its more from my general experience of watching the prices
I am really interested to see what next gen GPU from and will look like.
What’s the reason you chose the thermalright frozen prism 240 instead of the 360 for $8 more?
First, thanks so much for you efforts in keeping us informed. Your knowledge and research is amazing. Got quick question... the RX 6800 looks to be a great value. In your opinion would it support the MSI Optix MAG342CQR (32in Ultra Wide you list)? Thanks for your thoughts.
Yes good pair
i3 12100F doesn't make financial sense unless you get it 2nd hand for $50 and got your hands on decent motherboard for that platform IMHO. Ryzen 7500F is the new budget king. At $90 you might pay few bucks more and get one of those bad boys straight from China instead and not get locked yourself into a dead-end platform with no viable upgrade paths (especially now that we hear about all those Intel issues at 13th and 14th gen CPUs...). One can make point for video editing specifically but beyond that isolated use-case, I would avoid Intel until 15th gen.
I'm going with the cat on upgrading, and thinking about it :}
I'm still confused between Asrock B660M Pro RS vs Asrock B660M PG Riptide. Price different is not so high. What should I pick for I3-12100 ?
Riptide is the better board but in my opinion spend the extra money on the i5 12400F first.
JASON - thanks for this AWSOME video !!! I watch EVERY video you put out and you ARE the best. Thank you. Can you recommend a QUIET case and quiet solution for STUDIO Gaming and Digital AUDIO workstation combo (high single thread performance) to go along my radeon RX 6800 ?????
So glad they are helpful! For a quiet cooler go AIO over an air cooler. For a pc case I like the Phanteks G500A (the one on the desk next to me) its very quiet
Fantastic info as usual Jason! 1st builder here. Going big....any recommendations for a curved Oled monitor for gaming? Going to get the 4080 Super, 7800X3d cpu, ......Also suggestions for the coolest white fishtank RGB style case?
For the Case definitely the Montech King 95 Pro. The value is good for that Case because it includes 6 Fans. Other Fish Tank style cases don't include any.
Nice combo you got going! Hop over to our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor 2024 video or our Best Gaming Monitor 2024 (for 4k) video for more options. I'm keeping the recommendations in the description there updated for current sales. For the pc case I agree on the Montech King 95 Pro! But there a cheaper one that's also cool the Montech XR
I would love if you could find some deals on portable monitors!
Hope you found your deal on prime day!
From the $750 build, which GPU is better suited? 6800 for $349.99 or 7700 XT for $399.99?
Just for gaming and thinking long term, considering Polaris is no longer supported by AMD (judging by the drivers)
If just Gaming and not also using it for Streaming the 6800.
See the benchmarks we cover in the video for the performance difference. But Id go for that 6800 personally. Its linked in the description here for $339!
@@PCBuilderChannel I watched the benchmarks, coupled with some other videos with gameplay, and I'm surprised the 6800 can go toe-to-toe against the 7700 XT. Besides the concern about future support by AMD, I thank you for the recommendation
Is the i9 13900KF not good for 440 Euro? I thought its good. I have the RTX 3080 10GB just bought and I have the i5 12400f and thought about an upgrade. Thought about i9 13900K or i7 13700K. What do you guys think?
Not the i9! All kinds of performance issues sadly and Intel isn’t RMA ing at the moment so really can’t recommend. But i7 still good
@@PCBuilderChannel Oh really? Unfortunately I dont have an amd Motherboard and wont Upgrade, atleast right now. And i7 is better then i5 14500 too?
Yes, check out our latest CPU Market Update video where we rank CPUs, that might help you decide what you need (:
@@PCBuilderChannel How long would the i7 last if I want to future proof a bit?
@@sherdox6672yes the 13700K is a good choice unless the 14700K isn't a lot more where you are.
I wanted a arctic liquid freezer 360mm white aio but they sold out here in japan.
Question if i find a 7900x3d for a price lower than the 7800x3d would it be a better choice? Does the 7800x3d perform better for gaming?
No sadly! The reason you are seeing it for cheaper its it and the 7950X3D are different architecture than the 7800X3D and don't run as well. We cover this more in our dedicated 7800X3D build guide if you want to check that out for more
Hey Jason, I watched your motherboard video and Got the MSI b650 Tomahawk Wifi instead of the ASUS TUF B650 Plus WiFi. Was that ok? I am assuming that the tomahawk is better
Thats fine!
Dudes is the goat holy shit. Wild question but if one had a 2k or 2.5k budget what would you recommend?
What are you using the PC for?
If using it for Gaming here's a build for you.
It's list / b73hbL in PC Part Picker
Thank you so much! Depending on your usage, check out our Boost My Build series, Season 4 Episode 3. There's a $2000 budget PC in that episode :)
Everybody wants cheap and I get it but I’m an Intel and Nvidia guy. I wish you had more content on what I shop for.
Well maybe you should think about why you buy Intel and Nvidia in the first place? Perfectly understandable if you need their benefits for certain software (like I have an Intel cpu and gpu because of content creation) but if you're just using your pc for gaming, daily tasks, and aren't going for the absolute best gpu, AMD would probably be the better choice... It just doesn't make sense to make content for what is generally the worse option for most people.
@@Zxanonblade you make a great point. I’m not going to argue with your logic. It makes perfect sense. I’m only asking for an Intel and NVIDIA build. It will cost more but there are people like me that haven’t gone the AMD route for whatever reasons…
@@J_Bwn I agree that seeing an Intel and Nvidia build would be nice, just not only for the sake of being Intel + nvidia. If it was featured with the intent of providing a guide for productivity focused builds that might need Nvidia or Intel, then I see a pretty good use for it.
you can save $100 on the last build with this microcenter bundle
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, ASUS B650-E TUF Gaming, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 48GB DDR5-5200 Kit, Computer Build Bundle
the ram is a nice 48gb 2x24 kit but its CL40, too slow?
curious your opinion on monitors as my cat has ended my current monitors life...would you prefer to spend the extra money for the suggested OLED 1440p or save some money and get the suggested IPS 4k? (7800x3d + 4090) Was also considering just saving until 4k OLED prices drop in the future and getting the suggested IPS 1440p. should add that I basically only game on my setup, and half of that time is spent in VR sim racing. other times playing shooters or helldivers, very occasionally single player games like star wars survivor
If you're going 4090 you should go 4K.
What Monitor I'd recommend depends on your budget.
Oled is hard to beat and hard to leave once you’ve tried it. That being said I myself game on a 4k monitor and love it. You really can’t go wrong here (:
I think the advice is sound....except for AMD. I think the advice should be to wait on anything AMD until Zen 5 is out AND has some major testing behind it. I don't buy "independent testers have looked at it" Tech Spot or wherever. Unless the tests are coming from tried and true sources like GN and HUB, they don't hold any weight for me! You made an assertion about what the 9000 series "could" be and that isn't tested yet. As for Intel, it would seem the prudent advice is to suggest all of Alder Lake and only the lower chips from Raptor and RLR. I think Intel doesn't want to admit that A: They pushed that 10nm node TOO far and B: The issue is most likely pushing WAY too much power into the system to make those higher clocks on the 13900 and 14900K chips. At least Arrow Lake is being put on a sold TSMC node and that will help and I am waiting to see how Battlemage turns out. Good stuff though!
Oh I agree! Grain of salt on anything until 3rd party testing is out. My argument for the 7600 and 7800X3D are taking into account the new CPUs launching though. The 7600 is cheap enough compared to what we suspect the prices on the new CPUs will be that is a great time to bring more budget builders into AM5, and the 7800X3D is very likely to remain the most powerful for a long time to come. That being said if people do want to wait I want them to be able to take advantage of the current sales too so I give my recommendations for that. But I wouldn't buy any other AM5 CPU right now!
🐈⬛👍I wonder if I will be able to resist an 2.5 ssd, a case or good psu if they are cheap for an retro build.
Why are you never talking about the 3080 gpu’s?
Just bought a 6750 XT on ebuyer in the UK for £300 - do you still think this is a good deal? Upgrading from gtx 1080 so I can play Avatar: Frontiers. Going to upgrade my 3700X to a 5600 too. Also just snagged a CoolerMaster 850W for £70 on FB marketplace - brand new!
Yes good price
Hi bro, could you please tell me ur opinion about msi B650s pro wifi?
Im currently running a i5 11400f, RTX 3060Ti, 16gb 3200 dual channel ram. This PC is actually a Prebuilt CYberpowerPC I bought at the end of the pandemic. Im debating if I should upgrade to AM5 during Amazon Prime or wait another year 🤔
If you are happy with your current performance no need to upgrade. But I do think this Prime Day is going to be a good time to jump into AM5 with the 7600 since its a great price and sets you up for all the future upgrades
@@PCBuilderChannel Thanks for the reply...im actually thinking of buying the 7500f from aliexpress on sale for $119 right now...what do you think of that cpu for the next 5 years?

After watching some benchmarks of my cpu with a rtx4070 @1440p with no bottleneck issues I'm gonna wait till prices come down on that gpu.
whats up with windows 11? I'm thinking about upgrading and saw that windows 11 had problems
Hello, I bought my first gaming pc about 6 months ago and am looking at upgrading it. Right now I have a ASRock B660M-C Motherboard, NVidia RTX 3060, I5-12400F 12 Gen CPU, 32 gig ram and I've already purchased a 1000w power supply to install. Any suggestions on which CPU and GPU would play well with one another and not have any bottlenecking happen? Thank you for your help.
So for the GPU the 6800 or 7700XT would be good.
Unfortunately there isn't much upgrade CPU wise. All the 13th and 14th Gen K CPUs have issues right now.
Plus K CPUs go better with Z Series Motherboards anyway.
