Just paired my ryzen 7 7800x3d with a RX 7900XTX Red Devil. And put it on a highish end motherboard that Jason loves😇 Put it all in Jasons favorite case. The lian Li O11D Evo🤣 Altho i did NOT use Lian LI fans and cooler. I went for Arctic LF II 360 and Arctic P12 fans.
That’s crappy. I got lucky because in Newegg it dropped to 229. Plus I had 40 bucks in egg points. lol. I almost went with the i9-12900k. But for the extra 100 bucks. I don’t see me using that extra money the right way. I would offer to buy and ship one to you. But the last time I did that. The shipping ended the savings. lol. We tried.
Haven't built a PC in about 15 years. Kids and life got in the way. Decided to jump in at the Mid level and this helped me decide on the Ryzen 5 5600X and the Radeon 6700XT with 32gb DDR4 ram. Lets just hope I still know how to build one. I'll keep using these videos for reference.
@@ploob.2207 bro, DDR is almost a 30 year old tech and DDR5 isn't worth the significant cost increase for the slight increase in performance over DDR4. Also, you just cant "upgrade" from DDR4 to DDR5--you have to rebuild your whole system. The pinouts aren't even the same between DDR4 and DDR5. Basically double your build price (at least double) to use DDR5 over DDR4 and your speed improvement is going to be maybe 10%.
@@keldrini7939 Tell me why. At no point did you address any of the reasons I listed for choosing DDR4 over DDR5 and I'm pretty sure you don't even know the difference between DDR4 and DDR5--especially in the context of speed benchmarks.
It can be a lot I know! If you are just getting into PC building check out our "PC Parts Explained 2024" video. That's a good overview to get you started
PLEASE KEEP DOING THESE! I love this format with recommendations and capable parts! It makes things way less confusing for me and narrows down my options way more.
You want your GPU to be the bottleneck. Here's why: If you plan on keeping the system a good few years, ultimately, you're going to upgrade the system at some point. It is *far* easier to upgrade your GPU than your CPU - which could well require an entirely new motherboard. I.e. Basically a new system. Get the CPU/motherboard which gives you the most headroom for future upgrades, and go for a solid midrange graphics card with good performance/value ratio. In 3 or 5 years you can replace your mid range card with another high-mid card, and I bet your high end CPU will still keep up with it. Also, if your CPU/motherboard is strong, you always have the options of adding more RAM etc etc... If you go the other way and max out the GPU against and cut corners on the CPU, you may have a slightly better system for *today* but you've limited your future expansion much more.
@@jarlwilliam9932 For gaming, get a 7800x3d, 32 gb of ram on an x670. Check how many sata ports they have tho, many of the x670 boards only have 2 or 4 sata and just incase you need to use more, you'd need a motherboard with more.
There's a consumer-specific set of value propositions to consider. Better performance now and over the lifetime of the current build is real value. Not everyone will keep most of their system when they upgrade again regardless of how much they try to plan ahead and leave 'room' for a 1-2 component migration. The timing/chance comes into play. And it's not the worst thing in the world to have a second system left on hand (or nearly one) after you upgrade. You can use it for different purposes or gaming in another room, gift to another, sell, etc. And the point in time where you will have the most breathing room for CPU upgrades will be the beginning of a new platform which exposes you to the most potential early-adopter issues.
Insanely good pairing. I bought my gf a system with an i5-10400f and a 1660ti with 32gb RAM and an NVME drive for 600 Canadian and honestly, compared to my PC which cost me 3500 CAD to build a few years ago, I don't think I'm ever spending big money on PCs ever again.
The classic 3600 and 1660 super is the only pairing I could afford when we had to replace a PC during the dreaded shortage a few years ago. It's still going alright. :) It certainly cost more than $100 at the time lol
@@DissoGG i am impressed with the lower end PCs lately but still going to save up to build a custom loop "no limit" monster just for the fun and the thrill
@@josephobuck5409high end gpu’s can cost upwards of $1000, high end CPU’s can cost upwards of $500 or more. High end motherboards can cost upwards of $300 or more. A psu that can handle that hardware may cost $200 or more. High speed ram can cost $150-200. This isn’t including the pc case, fans, water cooling/cpu cooler, accessories such as custom cables and not to mention peripherals such as keyboard and mouse, monitor and such. Keep in mind the prices I listed are in USD so I imagine CAD will be even more so it can get really pricy. Don’t let this discourage you though, like the people in this reply thread said, you can get good performance with budget hardware nowadays as games aren’t really getting more demanding nowadays on the low end. I personally am running a 3600 and 1660ti for 1080p gaming on my college pc and it’s served me quite well. I do though want to upgrade to 1440p gaming and want to play some more demanding games at higher graphics settings so I will be upgrading to the rtx 5070 when it becomes available as well as maybe the newest Gen Ryzen 5.
Had already picked up the 7800x3d in black Friday deals for £330 but instead of pairing with a 7900xt for £730 bagged a 7800xt Hell hound for £419. Couldn't justify the extra fps for over £300. Will use in my new build and wait to see what 4k cards next gen will bring 😊 Thanks for all your help Jason on my first build 👌
the 300 saved now will be much more worth in 3-4years if you upgrade your gpu, the 7800x3d will still be really neat, but swapping out the gpu is much better
@@dinkin_flicka14 Me too. Building mine tomorrow, last of the parts arrived yesterday. I wanted the 7900xt but the prices for some reason don't tend to scale just according to the currency conversion here in Canada. The 7900xt is around $1100 Canadian or more depending which version, that's more than I was willing to spend on it so I went 7800xt. I'm doing 1440p anyway so I think it'll be fine for a while.
@@bartterp88 thank u, u guys are so nice. I’ve researched a lot and the thing I’m most scared abt is installing the cpu into the motherboard. I’ve heard it’s really sensitive and easy to break. Let’s hope it goes well for me 😅
If you have money for a midrange gaming pc (1200-1500) definitely go for the amd 5 7600(x), over the i5. Single core (amd) is mostly better for gaming, cheaper and has ddr5. Next to that you can upgrade your cpu and gpu on the motherboard with amd. With an b650 motherboard (be sure its a am5 socket) and the 7800xt you will eat up 1440p gaming! Get yourself some 6000mhz cl30 ram and an nvme, gen3/4 ssd and you will elevate your gaming experience for a mid range price. This build would be between 1200-1500, without an screen ofc. PC Builder has multiple video’s about different build on his channel, definitely check them out if you don’t know where to start or your second guessing what to do!
I’m looking to build my first PC and 100% dont need or want break the bank on a top of line build especially considering 4K gaming seems pretty new still even on PC but the build you mentioned seems to be great for 1440p while also being the new CPU socket for future upgrading?
AMD always has problems and frame drops in multiplayer games. I play Squad with an antique PC, GTX970, 6600k and have a better FPS than a new 2500€ AMD PC, see forums. Always stay away from AMD, that was 20 years ago and nothing change. Marketing has you in its grasp😊
Brilliant video. I'm on my third or fourth PC build at this point, and the biggest problem whenever I return to the job (we're talking at least 6-7 years between builds) is trying to figure out what combinations make sense. It's pretty hard to find good resources on the topic. So thank you for making this video, and making the info so clear and easy to parse!
@@Nero_9000 13400f gives you plenty of headroom and be cost effective if going with a ddr4 mobo. A ryzen 5600 would be more than sufficient as well and quite a bit cheaper.
Biggest challenge may be selecting memory with timings that are beneficial to performance. If you're into gaming, follow YT wisdom and your discretion. For me it's hi-res images and a 1080ti works great, but its 11GB video RAM become limiting. For me and upgrade to, say, a RTX 4070ti Super (basically a slightly limited 4080) means 16GB but the ray tracing power will not help Lightroom (Camera Raw) and Photoshop. 32GB RAM is frequently exceeded so my workstation has 64GB (Windows - Linux and MacOS may need half of that or less). As to video RAM, part of image processing is done in the GPU and the OS wants to keep lots of pixels in the GPU RAM. GPU as coprocessor for LrC started a couple years ago and LrC was the only "user". Today even Windows uses it, e.g. to cache icons and previews of folder hierarchies. SW tools to "manage" that are limited.
Only the second place I've ever heard to go with the ryzen 5 5500 for budget gaming....every other place says it's a epic pile. For $100 cad I have had zero problems with it. Nice to see a channel that actually gets what budget gaming actually is.
@@dinkin_flicka14 This is what I just got. For my purposes, it is working great. It is for gaming, but I tend to play games that are more CPU and memory intensive, so to me, it made sense to shift the balance in favor of a higher end CPU and more RAM (64Gb). If you are running at higher resolution and primarily playing graphics intensive action games that need all the FPS you can get, I can see his recommendation for a higher end graphics card making sense with this processor.
@@dinkin_flicka14 It is. But you probably don't see 7800x3d with 7800XT. Maybe 7600 or 7700. Unless you really want the 7800x3d and money aren't super tight.
I especially like your cpu/gpu combo videos for the information about minimum and maximum pairings. Years ago I built a PC with a 3600 and 5700xt for 1080p 144hz, which was later upgraded to a 6800 and 1440p 170hz, and more recently a 5800x3d, with an eye to eventually pair it with something at your recommended max performance. (8800xt later this year?) Being able to alternate between cpu and gpu upgrades without the system ever feeling unbalanced has been great. If you are still producing this content whenever AM6 comes out, I'll be counting on you to help me repeat the process for my next build cycle. 👍
still using that 6800 gpu? Just finished my rig last week and that thing is a beast even paired with a ryzen 5 5600. Never has a $900 build performed so damn good.
Sir i am a poor student,i live in bangladesh,at present i want a computer but i have no ability, so if you give me a cpu then i will be forever grateful
I love your thoughtfulness about PC gaming. You explain it so it's easy to understand. PC builders NEED to watch your videos before they buy anything. Killer video as always 🔥
So far I am super happy with my Intel i5 13600k pared with 32gb of 6400mhz ram and a 4070 ti. Does 1440p over 100 fps with everything I throw at it. I did overclock the GPU and CPU but is only about 400mhz on both components.
After owning several machines over the years and various OS's, I'm done with Apple and MS. My next build is Linux, so I'm looking for the best combo compatible with Linux. I'm told Linux doesn't like some video cards, and more compatible with AMD graphics and processors. If you've got any decent matches there, that may be my next build. Looking for near to top end, decent gaming specs, general use machine. Thanks.
Love seeing the 7600X get recommended so regularly. I have it in my rig alongside a 7900XT and at 1440p it doesn’t matter what settings I use or game I play - the GPU is ALWAYS the bottleneck.
This is exactly what i was looking for. So many other build channels says that you "have to go 7800x3d with 7900xt for CPU heavy games, yada yada..." Waste of money it seems. Thats why this channel pulls ahead.
@@caliginousmoira8565 the 7900xt? Nothing makes it bad, I love the card and plan to use it for three years or more. I was saying that the 7600X is a great processor, as it keeps up with the 7900xt and doesn’t bottlenecked it in any games I play.
@@caliginousmoira8565 hey, man. I didn’t mean the card is bad at 1440p. I was referring to how powerful the 7600X is. That processor can keep up with the 7900XT in every game I play. It’s a compliment to the card, not a criticism. Enjoy your 7900XTX, I woulda got one but the XT is plenty for my needs.
Great video, I wish there was a video like this before I built my pc’s. Trying to figure out combos when new to the pc world is tough. There is a ton of information out there, but I didn’t understand a lot of it. Categorizing cpu/gpu combos in tiers like this is gonna help people significantly. I just built my second pc and using recommendations I learned from watching your videos, my performance increased significantly from my previous build.
Thanks a lot for these types of videos! I’m going to build my first pc in a few weeks, so I’m doing a LOT of research so I don’t mess up. These have helped me choose my cpu and gpu combo, and I’ve learnt tons of tricks from these videos
My current rig is a 3080ti with an Intel i7 8700k with 32gb 3200mhz ram. Im thinking of spending about $600 on upgrading to a ryzen 7800x3d with mobo+ram. Figure that makes the most sense for getting the best from my gpu and some future proofing.

1:28 This is so helpful. As someone who games exclusively on 1080p i knew my system was cpu bound but i didn't quite get what that meant till i saw this.
Really good video and got some ideas out of it. I originally intended to build a new system for the Nvidia 5000 launch, but after watching I might just upgrade my CPU. Right now I'm running an AMD 3800X with a RTX 3080 GPU at 4k. I think upgrading to 5700/5800X3D should be the best option paired with probably a RTX 5080 (depending on future test results). The CPU might still be a little bit on the lower end, but on 4k it shouldn't matter that much and it's much cheaper than building an AM5 system.
I’m planning on using the i7-12400k with the 6700xt. Thoughts? My budget for the build is already maxed out. Used is not an option. I don’t have money to throw around, so best bang for my buck, my build puts me at $1200ish so throw cost aside. I’m focused on compatibility since I do a bit of everything: photoshop, Wonderdraft, Blender (cycles rendering), Minecraft with shaders, etc.. I’m sure I could cut costs but I’d also like to future proof. Theres a lot of variables at play here.
Yes that would be fine. Here's another build option that's currently $1011 + Tax. It's a 14500 CPU with a A770 GPU. You could also go 14600K or 14700K on the CPU. list / LDrzwg in PC Part Picker
I have a r7 5700x and rx580 and I'm thinking about getting a used 6800 or 6800xt for average 400 or a new 7700xt for 470 dollars? They also have the new 6750xt for 350. Currently I only play CS2 and occasionally Red Dead and other story modes. 240hz hd monitor
Just like with new smartphone releases, upgrading components like CPUs and GPUs should prompt a similar consideration. For example, if you own an iPhone 15 Pro Max, jumping to the iPhone 16 Pro Max might not make sense, as the changes are often minimal between generations. Similarly, with high-end hardware like the RTX 40 series, it’s wise to assess whether the incremental upgrades really offer significant improvements that justify the expense. For most people, holding off on upgrading every generation can lead to more meaningful enhancements and better value when they eventually decide to upgrade.
Hi there, I want to build my first gaming PC in this setup: 7800X3D + RTX 4090 + Thermalright Assassin 120 + ASRock B650M PRO RS WIFI + 2x 16 GB DDR5 6000 CL 30. Any advices, which monitor to buy etc, what to change, etc?
That's a monster build so go for super high FPS 1440p or a strong 4k monitor. See our Best Gaming Monitor 2024 video for those recommendations. And check out our 7800X3D for more on our thoughts for that build
Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if there will be any problems if I pair 24'' 240/360 Hz monitor with aforementioned configuration, what is your opinion on that and what would you do in my position since I will only be playing CS2 in 80% of the situations, will there be any loss of FPS, overheating issues etc if I do so?
i been using a RX 7900XT with a I5 6500 and 16GB @2400 i can barely get 60fps in games, I use to have a RX470 4GB in this system to play games at 1080P
Have you done any vids on great value lower/mid general purpose PC builds? Not interest in 'gaming' PC's with ridiculously expensive GPU's, just something which gives good all around performance and a bit upgradeable in future.

Welcome! It’s all about the resolution you want. Assuming you want 1440p the midrange recommendations paired with 7600 is great, if you want more fps and higher settings the 7800X3D and its pairs. We have build guides to both on the channel so you can check those out in our “builds and parts” list

What about a Ryzen 5 7600 with RTX 4060 (no Ti)? I have no budget for a 4060 Ti, lesser yet for a 4060 Ti 16gb, but I wouldn't like to be on AM4 platform on its lifecycle end, so the logical upgrade would be a 7600. I'm aware that the GPU would be the bottleneck, but I can consider upgrading for a 6060 or 7060 in the future, with Ryzen 7600 still delivering everything that it can deliver. Definitely a "bad" combo or only a slightly not optimized one?
IMO you would have a better long term experience with just going with a Ryzen 5600 and RX 7700 XT 12GB. But you certainly can go with AM5 if that's what is important to you.
@@PCBuilderChannel what would be the NVidia counterpart of RX 7700? RTX 4070? I've read some miscompatibilities with drivers regarding AMD GPUs. I know that this is a pretty simple issue to resolve, but the older I get I simply want to turn on my PC and simply play without having to worry if the next game will have some compatibility issue (also, DLSS 3 makes me believe that it will extend the time for me to change my CPU)

I do not at all recommend that CPU for gaming. Its absolutely terrible price to performance. You'd be much better off dropping to AM4 and getting a proper last gen CPU and budget GPU. See our Best Budget Builds 2024 for some much better options
I was using Intel 4790k for years with EVGA 3080Ti Hybrid and gaming 4k with no problem lol.... then I finally decided to get Intel 13700k to pair and gained only 18 fps but it was a gain and it will set me up for the next GPU upgrade. So with 4k GPU is KING!
Great guide. Would be nice to include total system power consumption in consideration because more power consumption can add up to significant difference in your electricity bills over next years to come. If you are on a budget for your gaming/working setup it is worth considering upkeep cost especially if you plan to use that PC a lot.
I am so frustrated. I would like to avoid the learning how to build a PC and would rather know what to buy which is assembled and will work for live streaming while using filters like snapcamera and animaze.

To be honest these are both pretty rough. See our Best Laptop 2024 video. I know you aren't using it for gaming but the recommendations are good there for strong laptops in general

Thank you for simplifying all the data in this and other videos. After seeing this one, I know exactly how to maximize gaming performance within my budget. This video actually saved me some money as I was leaning towards the i5-12600kf, but I see now that as a gaming oriented build it will not give me the increase in performance to cost (about 30$ more for the 12600kf where I live) The money saved can go to a decent air cooler. Great video... Going to see the build videos of 5600x and i5-12400 next.

Don't buy a 5900X in 2024! Total waste of money now and has no good upgrade path.

I don't game like I used to but would like to get back into it. I’d be looking to stay around the 1440 res. Or should I continue to save up and build a new system all together. Also, thank you for making all of these informative videos. With the speed at which hardware keeps changing, it is very hard to keep up with everything.
Jason, I started experiencing graphical artifacts on some games and on some applications. I have an rtx 4090 that is only a few months old. I sent it in for RMA but Gigabyte said they tested it and everything is working properly then sent it back. What should I do? I’ve tried re installing windows and using ddu then re installing drivers but that didn’t help. I’ve tried different DP and HdMI cables, different monitors. I tried different ram since that’s the only spare part I have. Nothing seems to fix it. I don’t want to spend another $100+ to ship it to Gigabyte again for them to tell me nothing is wrong, what should be my next course of action?
That’s super frustrating! For trouble shooting I recommend posting to Reddit “build a pc troubleshooting forum”. Its a great resource and hopefully you find someone who’s already dealt with this issue
i have a radeon 7900xtx oc, i9 149kf with asrock z790 pro rs motherboard, ddr5 gskillz5 2x32gb haven’t installed it yet and it’ll be my first build too. im just wondering what would you recommend to know or change before i start? im just concern what im really getting out of it
Hi thank you for this video, I learned a lot. Here's my dillemma, I have an old pc running at i5 11th gen, with 16gb RAM, 750ti for gpu. I'm planning to do an upgrade since it's running slow now. What I normally do on my pc is I play Valorant, Dota 2 and was hoping to play Tekken 8 soon. I also do work on my PC, 2 chromes with 3 tabs each, Outlook, Capcut for some apps as well. I'm checking if I can go with Ryzen 7 5700x with 3060ti as an upgrade but would love to see if you have a better recommendation. I'm looking forward to use my old RAM which will be replaced but if I'm not mistaken, my motherboard and PSU can't handle the r7 with 3060ti so they will be replaced too.
You can but I wouldn't. Jason says the 5700X isn't much better than the 5600 so I would go 5600 instead and he doesn't like the 3060Ti because of the VRAM so I would go AMD on GPU with the 6700XT/6750XT, 7600XT, or 7700XT. Just depends on what's GPUs are available where you are and how much you want to spend.
I definitely don’t recommend that GPU due to its lack of beam and there really isn’t any reason to go 5700X over 5600X. See our How to Upgrade your PC 2024 video for more

I have a 3070 8gb and a r7 5800x, what’s the most reasonable yet meaningful upgrade for me? I play at 1440p on titles like EFT, helldivers 2, war thunder, squad, and on average I get about 60-90fps with some going higher and sometimes on tarkov going lower but that’s tarkov for you
You can go 4070 or 7800XT but even there the CPU is going to start bottlenecking it so definitely not past that. I'd personally drop in a 5700X3D now then upgrade your GPU when you can as high as you want

Haven't built a PC in about 15 years. Kids and life got in the way. Decided to jump in at the Mid level and this helped me decide on the Ryzen 5 5600X and the Radeon 6700XT with 32gb DDR4 ram. Lets just hope I still know how to build one. I'll keep using these videos for reference.
I personally would recommend going for DDR5 as it is the faster and more future-safe, but it does cost a little extra.
I literally have the same setup as you. It was well worth the upgrade from a R5 2600 and RX 580 8GB
@@ploob.2207 bro, DDR is almost a 30 year old tech and DDR5 isn't worth the significant cost increase for the slight increase in performance over DDR4. Also, you just cant "upgrade" from DDR4 to DDR5--you have to rebuild your whole system. The pinouts aren't even the same between DDR4 and DDR5.
Basically double your build price (at least double) to use DDR5 over DDR4 and your speed improvement is going to be maybe 10%.
@@TurboLoveTrain yes but if you were to make your first pc it's better to start of with DDR5, that way you don't have to upgrade later on.

Tell me why. At no point did you address any of the reasons I listed for choosing DDR4 over DDR5 and I'm pretty sure you don't even know the difference between DDR4 and DDR5--especially in the context of speed benchmarks.

PLEASE KEEP DOING THESE! I love this format with recommendations and capable parts! It makes things way less confusing for me and narrows down my options way more.
You want your GPU to be the bottleneck. Here's why:
If you plan on keeping the system a good few years, ultimately, you're going to upgrade the system at some point. It is *far* easier to upgrade your GPU than your CPU - which could well require an entirely new motherboard. I.e. Basically a new system.
Get the CPU/motherboard which gives you the most headroom for future upgrades, and go for a solid midrange graphics card with good performance/value ratio.
In 3 or 5 years you can replace your mid range card with another high-mid card, and I bet your high end CPU will still keep up with it.
Also, if your CPU/motherboard is strong, you always have the options of adding more RAM etc etc...
If you go the other way and max out the GPU against and cut corners on the CPU, you may have a slightly better system for *today* but you've limited your future expansion much more.
A bit late but let’s say how good would a ryzen 7 7700x, 64 gbs of ram on a 670 am5 motherboard, backed by a 3060 be?
Good, time to Upgrade the gpu tholol
@@jarlwilliam9932 For gaming, get a 7800x3d, 32 gb of ram on an x670. Check how many sata ports they have tho, many of the x670 boards only have 2 or 4 sata and just incase you need to use more, you'd need a motherboard with more.
Basically what you're saying is get an AM5 socket :)
There's a consumer-specific set of value propositions to consider. Better performance now and over the lifetime of the current build is real value. Not everyone will keep most of their system when they upgrade again regardless of how much they try to plan ahead and leave 'room' for a 1-2 component migration. The timing/chance comes into play. And it's not the worst thing in the world to have a second system left on hand (or nearly one) after you upgrade. You can use it for different purposes or gaming in another room, gift to another, sell, etc. And the point in time where you will have the most breathing room for CPU upgrades will be the beginning of a new platform which exposes you to the most potential early-adopter issues.

Insanely good pairing. I bought my gf a system with an i5-10400f and a 1660ti with 32gb RAM and an NVME drive for 600 Canadian and honestly, compared to my PC which cost me 3500 CAD to build a few years ago, I don't think I'm ever spending big money on PCs ever again.
The classic 3600 and 1660 super is the only pairing I could afford when we had to replace a PC during the dreaded shortage a few years ago. It's still going alright. :) It certainly cost more than $100 at the time lol

@@josephobuck5409high end gpu’s can cost upwards of $1000, high end CPU’s can cost upwards of $500 or more. High end motherboards can cost upwards of $300 or more. A psu that can handle that hardware may cost $200 or more. High speed ram can cost $150-200. This isn’t including the pc case, fans, water cooling/cpu cooler, accessories such as custom cables and not to mention peripherals such as keyboard and mouse, monitor and such.
Keep in mind the prices I listed are in USD so I imagine CAD will be even more so it can get really pricy.
Don’t let this discourage you though, like the people in this reply thread said, you can get good performance with budget hardware nowadays as games aren’t really getting more demanding nowadays on the low end. I personally am running a 3600 and 1660ti for 1080p gaming on my college pc and it’s served me quite well. I do though want to upgrade to 1440p gaming and want to play some more demanding games at higher graphics settings so I will be upgrading to the rtx 5070 when it becomes available as well as maybe the newest Gen Ryzen 5.
Had already picked up the 7800x3d in black Friday deals for £330 but instead of pairing with a 7900xt for £730 bagged a 7800xt Hell hound for £419. Couldn't justify the extra fps for over £300.

Best wishes on the build and glad we could help!
I'm planning the same build. 7800X3D with a 7800XT
i did the same build with the same idea of waiting a gen or two for better 4k value. 4k value is wack right now
the 300 saved now will be much more worth in 3-4years if you upgrade your gpu, the 7800x3d will still be really neat, but swapping out the gpu is much better
@@dinkin_flicka14 Me too. Building mine tomorrow, last of the parts arrived yesterday. I wanted the 7900xt but the prices for some reason don't tend to scale just according to the currency conversion here in Canada.

The Ryzen 7600/7600X to me is the absolute sweetest of spots when it comes to affordability, future proofing and performance
Yea, this is the sweet spot now. The CPU is fast enough for the 500-600 dollar cards and has a clear upgrade path...
mega expensive though
If you have money for a midrange gaming pc (1200-1500) definitely go for the amd 5 7600(x), over the i5. Single core (amd) is mostly better for gaming, cheaper and has ddr5. Next to that you can upgrade your cpu and gpu on the motherboard with amd. With an b650 motherboard (be sure its a am5 socket) and the 7800xt you will eat up 1440p gaming! Get yourself some 6000mhz cl30 ram and an nvme, gen3/4 ssd and you will elevate your gaming experience for a mid range price. This build would be between 1200-1500, without an screen ofc. PC Builder has multiple video’s about different build on his channel, definitely check them out if you don’t know where to start or your second guessing what to do!
I’m looking to build my first PC and 100% dont need or want break the bank on a top of line build especially considering 4K gaming seems pretty new still even on PC but the build you mentioned seems to be great for 1440p while also being the new CPU socket for future upgrading?
AMD always has problems and frame drops in multiplayer games. I play Squad with an antique PC, GTX970, 6600k and have a better FPS than a new 2500€ AMD PC, see forums. Always stay away from AMD, that was 20 years ago and nothing change. Marketing has you in its grasp😊
Yea Sure buddy.. XD

@@PCBuilderChannelwhat CPU should I pair with 1080ti as now we have so many options
@@Nero_9000 13400f gives you plenty of headroom and be cost effective if going with a ddr4 mobo. A ryzen 5600 would be more than sufficient as well and quite a bit cheaper.
Biggest challenge may be selecting memory with timings that are beneficial to performance. If you're into gaming, follow YT wisdom and your discretion. For me it's hi-res images and a 1080ti works great, but its 11GB video RAM become limiting. For me and upgrade to, say, a RTX 4070ti Super (basically a slightly limited 4080) means 16GB but the ray tracing power will not help Lightroom (Camera Raw) and Photoshop. 32GB RAM is frequently exceeded so my workstation has 64GB (Windows - Linux and MacOS may need half of that or less).
As to video RAM, part of image processing is done in the GPU and the OS wants to keep lots of pixels in the GPU RAM. GPU as coprocessor for LrC started a couple years ago and LrC was the only "user". Today even Windows uses it, e.g. to cache icons and previews of folder hierarchies. SW tools to "manage" that are limited.
Only the second place I've ever heard to go with the ryzen 5 5500 for budget gaming....every other place says it's a epic pile. For $100 cad I have had zero problems with it.
Nice to see a channel that actually gets what budget gaming actually is.
Its a great budget CPU for sure!
It only supports PCIE 3.0, which is enough to get it a hard pass from me.

It is for gaming, but I tend to play games that are more CPU and memory intensive, so to me, it made sense to shift the balance in favor of a higher end CPU and more RAM (64Gb). If you are running at higher resolution and primarily playing graphics intensive action games that need all the FPS you can get, I can see his recommendation for a higher end graphics card making sense with this processor.
@@dinkin_flicka14 It is. But you probably don't see 7800x3d with 7800XT. Maybe 7600 or 7700. Unless you really want the 7800x3d and money aren't super tight.
I especially like your cpu/gpu combo videos for the information about minimum and maximum pairings. Years ago I built a PC with a 3600 and 5700xt for 1080p 144hz, which was later upgraded to a 6800 and 1440p 170hz, and more recently a 5800x3d, with an eye to eventually pair it with something at your recommended max performance. (8800xt later this year?) Being able to alternate between cpu and gpu upgrades without the system ever feeling unbalanced has been great.
If you are still producing this content whenever AM6 comes out, I'll be counting on you to help me repeat the process for my next build cycle. 👍

Right now I'm running an AMD 3800X with a RTX 3080 GPU at 4k. I think upgrading to 5700/5800X3D should be the best option paired with probably a RTX 5080 (depending on future test results).
The CPU might still be a little bit on the lower end, but on 4k it shouldn't matter that much and it's much cheaper than building an AM5 system.
I would go 5700X3D when you're able to and then upgrade the GPU later.
I’m planning on using the i7-12400k with the 6700xt. Thoughts? My budget for the build is already maxed out. Used is not an option. I don’t have money to throw around, so best bang for my buck, my build puts me at $1200ish so throw cost aside.
I’m focused on compatibility since I do a bit of everything: photoshop, Wonderdraft, Blender (cycles rendering), Minecraft with shaders, etc..
I’m sure I could cut costs but I’d also like to future proof. Theres a lot of variables at play here.
Yes that would be fine. Here's another build option that's currently $1011 + Tax.
It's a 14500 CPU with a A770 GPU. You could also go 14600K or 14700K on the CPU.

You could also do the same 14500 and A770 build but with DDR5 RAM.
list / RqqKVW in PC Part Picker
I focused on 7800X3d, while having 3080TI. Thinking that upscaling are using more FPS then GPU resources, am I wrong in assuming this?
I have a r7 5700x and rx580 and I'm thinking about getting a used 6800 or 6800xt for average 400 or a new 7700xt for 470 dollars? They also have the new 6750xt for 350. Currently I only play CS2 and occasionally Red Dead and other story modes. 240hz hd monitor
Sounds like a good upgrade! See our "how to upgrade your pc 2024" video for more
Just like with new smartphone releases, upgrading components like CPUs and GPUs should prompt a similar consideration. For example, if you own an iPhone 15 Pro Max, jumping to the iPhone 16 Pro Max might not make sense, as the changes are often minimal between generations. Similarly, with high-end hardware like the RTX 40 series, it’s wise to assess whether the incremental upgrades really offer significant improvements that justify the expense. For most people, holding off on upgrading every generation can lead to more meaningful enhancements and better value when they eventually decide to upgrade.
Hi there, I want to build my first gaming PC in this setup: 7800X3D + RTX 4090 + Thermalright Assassin 120 + ASRock B650M PRO RS WIFI + 2x 16 GB DDR5 6000 CL 30. Any advices, which monitor to buy etc, what to change, etc?
That's a monster build so go for super high FPS 1440p or a strong 4k monitor. See our Best Gaming Monitor 2024 video for those recommendations. And check out our 7800X3D for more on our thoughts for that build
Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if there will be any problems if I pair 24'' 240/360 Hz monitor with aforementioned configuration, what is your opinion on that and what would you do in my position since I will only be playing CS2 in 80% of the situations, will there be any loss of FPS, overheating issues etc if I do so?
27in is the best for 1440p. No reason to use 1080p with a 4090. You can find 360hz 1440p moniters
i been using a RX 7900XT with a I5 6500 and 16GB @2400 i can barely get 60fps in games, I use to have a RX470 4GB in this system to play games at 1080P
you paired a $3 cpu with a $700 gpu?
Have you done any vids on great value lower/mid general purpose PC builds? Not interest in 'gaming' PC's with ridiculously expensive GPU's, just something which gives good all around performance and a bit upgradeable in future.

Welcome! It’s all about the resolution you want. Assuming you want 1440p the midrange recommendations paired with 7600 is great, if you want more fps and higher settings the 7800X3D and its pairs. We have build guides to both on the channel so you can check those out in our “builds and parts” list
@@PCBuilderChannel thank you =]
I'm mid assembling parts for my new PC now - selected an ROG Z690-E, i7-12700K and still deciding on the GPU. I'm torn between a RTX 4070 or 7800 XT.
So I just bought my first gaming pc after almost 15 years of the last build I did... and I bought a Ryzen 7600X and a RX 6750 XT Qik319... should've I had gone for the 7700XT or 7900XT? :S I plan to play on 1080p or 1440p (later, I don't own a 1440p monitor)... no fancy Ray tracing or any "end-game" stuff.... I just want to play my games without issues.... games like... Deep Rock Galactic, Monster Hunter Rise and World, etc. Thanks! :D
The 7600X and 6750XT are a good combo.
No you did exactly right
im trying to buy a prebuit pc that can play/stream all the new games no problems but i only have about $2,000 to spend on it. Any reccomendations???
I found a great option for you at $2000 + Tax. It's the CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme. It comes with a 7800X3D CPU and a 4070 Ti Super GPU.

Just put together a 7800x3d + 4070ti Super OC. My first PC build. Your video made me feel better about my purchases since I wasn't sure if I made a mistake on the impulse buy if the 4070ti super. Was feeling like i should have held out for the 4090.
Great build you got there! So glad we could help
@@PCBuilderChannel I did make a mistake unfortunately, at least I think so, I got a 6600mhz Ram kit but my Motherboard only goes up to 6400mhz. So I may have to remedy that, I built the computer after watching your videos. But now I know! Though I'm not sure if it's okay to run the 7800x3d at 6400. Any recommendations?
@@Leovoldso if it helps Jason recommends 6000 CL30 for RAM
@@Leovoldyou can change your ram speeds in bios and if you haven’t already it probably isn’t running at 6600 mhz

If you haven't already got the parts go B450 or B550 on the Motherboard and go 5500 or 5600 on the CPU.
What about a Ryzen 5 7600 with RTX 4060 (no Ti)? I have no budget for a 4060 Ti, lesser yet for a 4060 Ti 16gb, but I wouldn't like to be on AM4 platform on its lifecycle end, so the logical upgrade would be a 7600. I'm aware that the GPU would be the bottleneck, but I can consider upgrading for a 6060 or 7060 in the future, with Ryzen 7600 still delivering everything that it can deliver.
Definitely a "bad" combo or only a slightly not optimized one?
IMO you would have a better long term experience with just going with a Ryzen 5600 and RX 7700 XT 12GB. But you certainly can go with AM5 if that's what is important to you.
@@PCBuilderChannel what would be the NVidia counterpart of RX 7700? RTX 4070? I've read some miscompatibilities with drivers regarding AMD GPUs. I know that this is a pretty simple issue to resolve, but the older I get I simply want to turn on my PC and simply play without having to worry if the next game will have some compatibility issue (also, DLSS 3 makes me believe that it will extend the time for me to change my CPU)
is A620-E AM5 chipset Mobo + Ryzen 8600G cpu good combo for decent gaming performance or do i need to get a B650 Motherboard ? will there be any performance difference with gaming ?
I'm not into Overclocking. Suggestions please
A620 + 8600G ryzen
Or
B650 + 8600G ryzen ?
I do not at all recommend that CPU for gaming. Its absolutely terrible price to performance. You'd be much better off dropping to AM4 and getting a proper last gen CPU and budget GPU. See our Best Budget Builds 2024 for some much better options
@@PCBuilderChannel then which motherboard combo ur suggesting for same gaming performance as 8600G ? can u be more specific if u don't mind
What do you think about a ryzen 5 5600 + rtx 3090 combo, is my cpu bottlenecking my gpu ?
Yes. You'd want to upgrade your CPU to the 5700X3D.
Yes there's a bottleneck. I'd drop in that 5700X3D
I was using Intel 4790k for years with EVGA 3080Ti Hybrid and gaming 4k with no problem lol.... then I finally decided to get Intel 13700k to pair and gained only 18 fps but it was a gain and it will set me up for the next GPU upgrade. So with 4k GPU is KING!
Great guide. Would be nice to include total system power consumption in consideration because more power consumption can add up to significant difference in your electricity bills over next years to come. If you are on a budget for your gaming/working setup it is worth considering upkeep cost especially if you plan to use that PC a lot.
I am so frustrated. I would like to avoid the learning how to build a PC and would rather know what to buy which is assembled and will work for live streaming while using filters like snapcamera and animaze.
Do you have a recommendation which will work?
I am SO out of my depth.
Was hoping to upgrade my 2015 PC and realized that is not possible. Hoping for a set up which will do what I need in the neighborhood of 1300 USD out the door.
Ideas?
Thank you very much for this video.

@@PCBuilderChannel Great. I will check it out.
Hey man! Doing gods work. I had a i7 8700k and a 6700 xt 2k setup until recently. Recently got a 7900 xt as an upgrade. Would you recommend I upgrade my CPU mobo or can I just get away with the i7. I want to just get 60+ fps on single player titles 4k. Thanks!
No you can't get away with the i7.
Good choices would be the 5700X3D, 7600, or 7800X3D.
I'd upgrade for sure!
@@kelley09162 @PCBuilderChannel Thanks! I decided to get a 7800X3D. By the by, just using the 6700 xt could get 60 fps 4k in cyberpunk High setting with upscaling, that card is a monster!

So Jason doesn't recommend that GPU. If you're going Nvidia at least get the 4060 Ti 16GB. The other option is the Intel A770 or go AMD.
As for the CPU either option is good.
Could you provide your thoughts on the following combo - I will be purchasing one of the two tomorrow:
ryzen 5 7535HS + RTX2050
Or
Ryzen 7 8845HS + RTX 3050
It is an Acer Notebook used for personal (not professional) video editing and stock trading. The lady at the computer shop said that the 8845HS combo is not truly compatible as there will be a bottleneck
To be honest these are both pretty rough. See our Best Laptop 2024 video. I know you aren't using it for gaming but the recommendations are good there for strong laptops in general
Дуже дякую за цікавий контент :))))
What do you think about an RX 7800 XT with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D? Would you recommend that combo? And a B650 motherboard?
I'm looking to build my first PC soon but I struggle to make sense of all the options out there 😅
A 7900GRE would be a better GPU option with the 7800X3D.
Thank you for simplifying all the data in this and other videos.
After seeing this one, I know exactly how to maximize gaming performance within my budget.
This video actually saved me some money as I was leaning towards the i5-12600kf, but I see now that as a gaming oriented build it will not give me the increase in performance to cost (about 30$ more for the 12600kf where I live)
The money saved can go to a decent air cooler.
Great video... Going to see the build videos of 5600x and i5-12400 next.

Hi! i'm a beginner builder and on my way to setup my new PC (last one runs on old Xeon and 1050Ti)
I got my eye on AMD Ryzen 9 5900X... don't know what graphic card put init... It's more for creative work but a room for gaming... maybe not for newest most power hungry games but it at least have to run Witcher 3/Cyberpunk2077 with 60FPS.
any recommendations for graphic card in a medium budget? 6600xt would be ok or should I aim higher?
Don't buy a 5900X in 2024! Total waste of money now and has no good upgrade path. For you I'd recommend a 7600 build, that will serve you well for creative work and some gaming, gets you into the latest platform, and has a great upgrade path. See our 7600 build guide for more. My personal gaming/editing rig for example is a 7600 7900XT
@@PCBuilderChannel well... Than I F*d up.
It might not be future proof but I used old Xeon and 1050ti... So it will be upgrade anyway... I'll change it in 5-8 years. Thank you anyway.

So Jason doesn't recommend the 14900K especially with the issues going on right now.
Go 14700K instead.
Also ASUS Scammed Gamer's Nexus so I can't and will not recommend any of their products so I'd switch the Motherboard
The 4070 Ti Super is a good GPU choice though.

I'm on an FX6100 and 950ti with 16GB of DDR3. What's the best GPU I can switch to so I can get better frames ?
Ps, yes, I know... Everything should be changed lol
I currently have a HP Victus with the 13th Gen I7-13700 and a RTX 3060. Would it be worth upgrading the GPU to something more powerful like the RX 6700 XT? I don't game like I used to but would like to get back into it. I’d be looking to stay around the 1440 res. Or should I continue to save up and build a new system all together. Also, thank you for making all of these informative videos. With the speed at which hardware keeps changing, it is very hard to keep up with everything.
Jason, I started experiencing graphical artifacts on some games and on some applications. I have an rtx 4090 that is only a few months old. I sent it in for RMA but Gigabyte said they tested it and everything is working properly then sent it back. What should I do? I’ve tried re installing windows and using ddu then re installing drivers but that didn’t help. I’ve tried different DP and HdMI cables, different monitors. I tried different ram since that’s the only spare part I have. Nothing seems to fix it. I don’t want to spend another $100+ to ship it to Gigabyte again for them to tell me nothing is wrong, what should be my next course of action?
That’s super frustrating! For trouble shooting I recommend posting to Reddit “build a pc troubleshooting forum”. Its a great resource and hopefully you find someone who’s already dealt with this issue
i have a radeon 7900xtx oc, i9 149kf with asrock z790 pro rs motherboard, ddr5 gskillz5 2x32gb haven’t installed it yet and it’ll be my first build too. im just wondering what would you recommend to know or change before i start? im just concern what im really getting out of it
Please tell me i can pair asus prime b560m-k motherboard with i5-11400f + SAPPHIRE RX 6700 XT 12GB GDDR6 PULSE for 1080p res
That's fine if you already have the CPU and Motherboard but if not 11th Gen isn't recommended in 2024.
Hi thank you for this video, I learned a lot. Here's my dillemma, I have an old pc running at i5 11th gen, with 16gb RAM, 750ti for gpu. I'm planning to do an upgrade since it's running slow now. What I normally do on my pc is I play Valorant, Dota 2 and was hoping to play Tekken 8 soon. I also do work on my PC, 2 chromes with 3 tabs each, Outlook, Capcut for some apps as well. I'm checking if I can go with Ryzen 7 5700x with 3060ti as an upgrade but would love to see if you have a better recommendation. I'm looking forward to use my old RAM which will be replaced but if I'm not mistaken, my motherboard and PSU can't handle the r7 with 3060ti so they will be replaced too.
You can but I wouldn't. Jason says the 5700X isn't much better than the 5600 so I would go 5600 instead and he doesn't like the 3060Ti because of the VRAM so I would go AMD on GPU with the 6700XT/6750XT, 7600XT, or 7700XT. Just depends on what's GPUs are available where you are and how much you want to spend.
I definitely don’t recommend that GPU due to its lack of beam and there really isn’t any reason to go 5700X over 5600X. See our How to Upgrade your PC 2024 video for more
Hey PC Biulder, I live in brazil, and hardware here is extremely expensive.
I have an old GTX 1080Ti, and this master piece still run all the games that I play, but My I7-8700 was struggling a bit, So I got rid of it.

7800X3D would be a great combo with a 3090ti. See our 7800X3D build guide for more and our How to Upgrade your CPU 2024
I just upgraded my AMD Ryzen 7 5800X system with an AMD 7600 XT GC from an AMD 5700 XT and so far so good!
I have a 3070 8gb and a r7 5800x, what’s the most reasonable yet meaningful upgrade for me? I play at 1440p on titles like EFT, helldivers 2, war thunder, squad, and on average I get about 60-90fps with some going higher and sometimes on tarkov going lower but that’s tarkov for you
A new GPU like the 7800XT, 7900GRE, or 4070 Super would be good.
You can go 4070 or 7800XT but even there the CPU is going to start bottlenecking it so definitely not past that. I'd personally drop in a 5700X3D now then upgrade your GPU when you can as high as you want

For the GPU you can go 7700XT or higher.
Is 5 7500f + 6700 xt a good pair? Im saving for a dream pc and i want to play on 1080/1440p
Yes good pair. The 6750XT is also good if a similar price to the 6700XT where you are.
Yes good combo
Need some advice on how to upgrade my PC, I built it when graphics cards were through the roof with the intention of upgrading it when the prices dropped, it's a ryzen 5 3600, b550 morta motherboard, 16gb 3600 ddr4 ram and then an rtx 1650, how far can I push the other parts in terms of a new graphics card
You can go as high as a 6700XT.
That's if you keep your 3600 though. The 5700X3D would be a great CPU upgrade but the GPU is more important right now.
@kelley09162 thanks for the response, if I got that cpu, how far then? Or is that opening up a can of worms. You're now my personal PC building advisor BTW
@@deaddogtony1677 as high as you want. The 5700X3D and 5800X3D are strong Gaming CPUs so they can handle high end GPUs.
So if using it for Gaming the 7800XT and 7900GRE would be great pairs with it but you can go lower like the 6800, and 7700XT or higher like the 7900XT and be good too.
Just depends on how much you want to spend.
@kelley09162 thank you very much, I'll look at prices and see what I can stretch too
@@deaddogtony1677 you're welcome. For AMD any GPU 7600XT/6700XT and higher are good, and for Nvidia the 4060 Ti and higher are god though Jason doesn't recommend the 4060 Ti 8GB.
