I’ve recently gotten into pc gaming and I love it. I built my first pc during the winter. The only thing is, as someone who has a learning disability, it’s been extremely stressful trying to learn all the different terms and how to make sure everything works correctly. It’s a big change since I’ve been on console my entire life. Edit: Thank you all for the kind messages I really appreciate them all! I will definitely use all of your advice:)
It'll come to you eventually, I still don't understand all the technical mumbo jumbo and I've been doing this for about 4 years now. I know what I know and that's enough. Came from a console too, it'll come to ya, just take your time and don't stress over too much.
@@robertthomson1994 thank you man I really appreciate it. I’ve been doing lots of daily research trying to better understand the whole pc world. Pretty crazy what you can do with a computer
As long as you are enjoying yourself and not being irresponsible financially, you're doing it right. No one can play games for you, so no one should be telling you what their value to you is.
I have a 5800x and an RTX 3080 I got it all for roughly MSRP right as the pandemic was starting. I'm going to just enjoy my hardware for the next three more years. Continue to feel lucky I was able to game during such a shitty time for PC gamers.
nice set up, i think your set up is more than enough for the next 2-3 years anyway, people just love to have the newest hardware even though 95% of us dont need it.
i was going to get a 5000x cpu back then to upgrade my ageing 7700k, but beacuse it was the last line of hardware that would be supported. i thought it would be better to hold of and wait for 7000 series..which is what iv done. I do think i wasted money on getting a 3080 though. its not enough for 4k gaming.
Got my RTX3080 just a few weeks before the prices went through the roof by the end fo 2020. CPU I7 9700K wasn´t maybe the best decision. Nevertheless I will wait a few years to replace the system. Microsoft Flight simulator runs constantly at around 60fps at 4k. Cyberpunk 2077 needs definetly a stronger hardware to run on ultra with 60fps in 4k and RT on.
I’ve been waiting a while to upgrade. I’m glad I waited out the insane prices during Covid. Hopefully beginning of 2023 will have reasonable options. On an old PC from 2016, but it was built well so still going strong. So I’m hoping to build another strong one soon to go another 6+ years.
Current PC is 7 years old, making a new 13700k/4080 build, buying a LG C2 4K OLED TV and a 360hz 1080p IPS monitor. Gonna play singleplayer games on the TV, CSGO, Valorant, League, etc. on the monitor. Gonna buy around Feb/March when everything settles down a bit.
Just built my first pc ever with a Ryzen 7, 3070 gpu, 16 gb of ram, 1 TB ssd plus windows 11 for 1400 dollars which is not bad. If you want to build a pc now is the time. The price of components are cheaper now.
Amazing how much the tech has advanced. Here i am with a low end PC with a integrated graphics card. Never had a gaming pc but i will get one one day when i get my money.
Already bought myself a 3080 ti asus strix liquid cooled. Very happy with the purchase and will still probably buy 4000 series. I just enjoy building in general and experiencing the newest tech, its very fun to me :)
@@xukuncai2736 i work a minimum wage job with only a few dollars raise. Buying only what is needed and save most of my money. Living with the parents is also nothing for me to brag about lol. Wish i was rich though
@@Nicc93 wish you all the best my friend and enjoy the building :). I am also thinking currently about buying a 3080ti or 3090 with intel alder and some normal air coolers. What kind of games do you play? Maybe we can play some rounds together :)
@@Eminem200FBI I played Battlefield 2042 early access, 400 hours into it :) have 4, 5, and 1. Dying Light 1 is a great single player zombie game and with 3080 ti it never drops below 100 fps.
@@Eminem200FBI I also beat Ocarina Of Time in a emulator on my channel live. Morrowind, Oblivion, little Skyrim here and there. These are all amazing single player titles
I recently upgraded my full system. I got a new Board, CPU, RAM, SSD's, PSU and GFX card for roughly the same price as my Stepfather spent on a GFX card a few years ago so I am more than glad that i waited until now to upgrade my rig, not too bothered about the new components coming out as the current gen is more than good enough for me atm.
@@TheMushroomManDan_FungalFruits It was MSI X570-A Pro motherboard, Ryzen 7 8300x3d, 32GB Corsair Veng RGB Pro 3600, Samsung 980 1tb gen 3, Samsung 980Pro 1tb gen 4, RX 6800XT Red Devil and a Corsair RM850W 80Plus Gold Fully Modular PSU
If you have a 30 series already, just wait for rtx 50 series. Most practical approach is to wait every other gen, rather than upgrading every time just for the sake of having the latest and greatest. It’s a waste of money and bad for the environment.
I built my pc yesterday as it was my birthday! Pc centric! I want your opinion on this i7 12700f Msi pro B660M-A motherboard 32gb ram (adata xpg D60g) Asus dual Rtx 3060ti oc Case: antec DF 700 flux Aio cooler:- DQ ls720 360mm Wd blue 512 gb nvme m.2

What christoforo said. About a year after you get it, it won’t be considered new anymore. A lot of these new high end CPUs and GPUs are excessive for the games we have now anyway. Unless you really want 4K, but imo 1440p is plenty good enough for considerably less cost.
Thank you for this. It's a difficult time for new buyers like myself. My daily work machine is actually just a Dell laptop that's on its last breath. All year I've been looking at building a PC but whether it be money issues or market issues, I'm finding myself almost in Q4 wondering if I should keep waiting. Like this laptop, i usually buy lower mid tier to save money and then in a couple years I'm obsolete. I'm attracted to building a PC because of the longevity and I want the best quality I can afford, but being at the Crux of a generation leap makes it difficult. Opinions flying everywhere, more hype than ever before from manufacturers, fan wars, the market crashing, prices bungeeing - there's a whole entire element on top of just trying to learn the basics and choose the best build. It's reassuring to hear creators saying not to rush into new launches or waste money on maxed out builds unless it's really what you need.
it's a hard one especially on the cup of a new launch but you have to try block all that out and go for what you need right now, if you urgently need it now then buy what u can afford right now. Can you stretch with ur current laptop and wait a bit? Maybe wait if you can otherwise go for it. There should be some awesome deals on current stuff. Without knowing what u do it's hard to say what to go for but you can't go wrong with mid range stuff for most things. The 5600x CPU should cover just about everything and it was recently on sale at such an amazing price lol, even the 5600 will do for most work scenarios. I bought a 5600x knowing soon new stuff was coming, however that ended up becoming an "unknown time length" which btw, is now lol. So I would of been waiting ages. I am glad I didn't wait. There was another time, ages ago where I paid a lot of money for a graphics card right before a new graphics card generation was coming out but at the time I needed to do it. Sucks that I could of literally doubled my performance by waiting a few months or got the same card I paid for at half the price BUT I had no choice then, I needed it asap. It just depends on your circumstances at the time. I do tend to wait for most things and see what prices are like once things are out then weight up do I really need the extra performance for that much more cash, if it turns out I don't then I just pay less and get less performance but enough for my needs! It's not always easy to know what is right for your needs and honestly I keep thinking about that a lot recently. There are some great youtubers and content creators but not a lot of them actually explain each budget level and to the person watching who is clueless, they could end up more clueless by the end of the videos lol. I'm thinking of trying to do something to help people but it's hard to know what to cover and it's hard when you don't fully understand the tech side yourself haha. Sorry I did not mean for this comment to be so long!! EEP
@@keblin86 first off, I love gaming and I'm just sick of being stuck at low performance. My current PC can no longer handle games, the thermal issues got so bad that I'm pretty sure the hardware is fried and I can't even run low-spec games now. For work I don't need to do any crazy 3D rendering but occasional motion graphics and video editing is both part of my job and a hobby. I do a lot of graphic design which requires multitasking of CPU dependent programs so I was originally going to go for a 360 TI 5600x build since it seems to be unanimously the best price to performance, however, I recently considered bumping it up to the r7 instead of the R5 since it seems the seven line is supposed to be geared more towards productivity. 🤷🏻♀️ I've been watching sales go by and chomping at the bit wondering if I should take advantage of them I don't think I can wait another year or more.
@@samijune5824 ah very similar to me then. I used to do web/graphic work and funnily enough I am about to get back into a bit of web work lol. Though only personal and more as hobby now so nothing major. I can tell you straight away if you are going to get serious with editing more ram is better. That combo you mentioned should be great. The 5600x is a great processor but with you mentioning those work tasks I would possibly go bigger if you can afford it and if this was a year ago I would say do it now BUT I would not recommend buying bigger right now regarding a CPU, if you can hold off I would wait and see what happens with the next batch of new CPU's. I know nit sucks waiting but it won't be long now and hopefully soon we can see the prices of everything then pick something. Ultimately though, you are going to end up with a sweet setup by the end of this so try to just hang in there a little bit more. You waited this long, you can wait a few more weeks/months surely? You got this! I don't know much about the AMD side of things btw, especially gpu's but I do hear nvidia is better for productivity side of things, if you do editing/streaming etc. Though I am also biased there. I love Nvidia for the GPU side. This was my first time going amd on the CPU and although it's great I am also a bit biased there. I prefer intel lol. However it doesn't matter too much at the end of the day if it does the performance I need. What resolution are you aiming for in gaming and refresh rate? Also, if I can help in anyway let me know. Probably can't but with your spec being very close to my current spec hopefully I could help. I am 5600x with a 3070 and 32gb ram.
If production is up and demand is down, Price will NOT necessarily go down. I can use the same argument with "production was low, demand was high (miners) " When the 3000 series launched. If the prices are down, demand will ALWAYS be high, that's just nature.
Honestly excited now that we're only several weeks away from brand new CPUs and later this year new GPUs. New PCIe gen 5 SSDs are also nice but I think 3 and 4 will be fine for years to come. Plus until Direct Storage comes around it's not gonna be utilized much unless you're doin tons of transfers or for maybe large projects. Still exciting all around for us PC enthusiasts. I look forward to hitting up Microcenter next month once Zen4 comes around so I can build my new PC. Let's go!
Sod always wanting the latest and best. Using a Ryzen 3100, 1070ti, 16Gb 3200mhz RAM on a B450 board playing at 1080p 144hz. More than happy, but may grab a 1440p monitor as next upgrade in the future. Oh and a Ryzen 5600 when they flood the market 😁
they way you talk(rhyme,speech and knowledge) is impressive I've been wanting a affordable pc gaming computer for awhile but it's been so hard you've earned a sub(I saw you on my recommended)
I wish I was able to afford one, especially at my young age, my pc broke a few days ago and I would game on it and it was the only thing I had to keep me distracted, and it was a work pc that I stole from my sister so that made it worse, I pretty much get excited every time I see setup or those “Building my fans dream gaming setup” videos while dreaming that will happen to me one day, it’s a good thing i saw this vid so i can ask my parents to buy them when the prices drop
I got a Ryzen 5 7600x CPU and an ASRock Phantom Gaming D OC Radeon RX 6750 XT GPU during Black Friday to start my first PC build, saved around $300 before tax. The same GPU now sells for almost $700(bought it on sale for around $400) after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I picked a pretty good time to pull the trigger lol. I know AM5 is new and expensive because of motherboards, but I don't plan on having to upgrade for a while and it allows me the time for that down the road. The build I have planned should allow me to do everything I want and more, mostly gaming and maybe dabbling in game design and trying out streaming when I get a capture card after a while.
It partially depends on your current system. Can you wait until AM5 matures 1-2 years after release? I am currently building an AM4 platform to replace my intel i7 2600 - 780TI PC. It will be a huge jump for me. However, there will not be any new upgrade except for the GPU as I like to build a PC and forget it and I only plan to upgrade the GPU in a few years. Unlike AM5 will allow you some upgradability but expect higher prices and some stock availability issues in the first few months from release.
@@MonkeyMan125431 yeah I got the 12700k 3 weeks ago amazing cpu improved my 2070 super a lot especially in games and stability coming from a ryzen 5-3600.
I bought a 3070 Asus ROG Strix Gaming OC V2 just a week ago for 550$ and now I'm hearing Nvidia is set to relaunch the 3080 and that its probably going to be cheaper...... I mean the 3070 is more than enough since I'm only playing at 1080p right now but that extra power would have given my PC more longevity because if its anything in comparison to the 1080 which even today 6 years later its still a good enough for 1080p high settings on most AAA games
ify man i just bought a used 3080 for 600 and i’m like damn i should’ve waited but i honestly don’t need the extra power or graphics. the 3080 was overkill to begin with so i’ll still run with it
10:00 i am still waiting a bit for a price drop by 10-20% for the rx 6600 its upgrade time for me since december got new motherboard (asus tuf b550 plus), new cpu (ryzen 5 5600x), with g skill trident z neo 32 gb 3200 CL16 my old cpu was an intel i5 6500 and my old graphics card is still working as good as you can expect from a gtx 960 oc ;D but right now the price is still just a little to high for me personally not a big deal i can wait as long my stuff keep working
I didn't understand the buying a 3080 a week before the 4080 part, that was my plan exactly haha When the 4080 will launch, the 3080 price will probably go down a lot, also it's very likely that the 4080 will not be available in a few months due to high demand by enthusiasts, meaning that buying a 3080 a week before the 4080 launch means I get it before it's price rises again.. it's the sweet spot
@@darkstarkajzek5397 very nice, congrats :D I'm waiting for a chance for that 3080 too. In my part of the EU prices are still not budging, but cards are starting to appear on the second hand market and price will start to go down soon
Just bought an evga rtx 3070 ti ftw3 ultra which I found at a low price. In my country, rtx 40 series cards will be very expensive. Rtx 4090 costs 2500€!
ive always dreamt of having a gaming pc since i was 10, now i got the means for it, the prices for pc parts have gone down (albeit slightly) and im excited to finally play triple A titles!! i bought the rx6600 for about $300 (it's the cheapest in my country) and am planning for either a ryzen 5 5600 or 3600, prolly the 3600 cuz of the tight budget. thanks for the vid!!
@@graceless1004 the i5-12400f will give you the best gaming performance a lot better then ryzen 5 3600 I couldn’t recommend it due to the stutters and lack of stability and your looking at 10-15 FPS extra in games basically your choice 12400f or I’d wait for the new 7600 in 1.5 months but with intel you can’t go wrong.
something youre not mentioning is with the new 40 series gpu's etc is you need every other component upgraded and the main thing, is the power consumption!! the gpu and cpu's that are coming seem to be very power hungry to say the least. and with everything going on with the price of electricity going through the roof, i really dont think its a good idea to be using that much more power, which is going to cost you more weekly to run. when you can play the best games out now just fine with current spec gpu's and cpu's. that use far less electricity.
I'm running a 12100 + rx 6600 xt and I'm super happy with my pc. Getting +144fps in most games I play. Only thing I might get is a 12400 if they come down in price when 13th gen comes.
I'm gonna be upgrading my rig from a 3600 and 2060 to a 5700x and rx 6700xt and water-cooling it and I'll sit with that for a while, it'll be most powerful rig I've ever had and it'll be more than enough than I'll EVER need. First rig was a 2200g that I threw a 580 into, then I got a 2600 kept the 580. Then a 2700x with a 1650 super. I'm done for a while once the 6700xt and 5700x come.
I am getting a PC with intel 12th gen this month. I have been using a 1060 gaming laptop for years and it can't keep up with the games I play. Prices of PC parts are lower now - RAM, PSU, GPU and CPU. Mobo is still crazy expensive for some reason. Intel 12600k because it is cheaper, newer and run faster than AMD's counterpart 5800X. The new generation PC next year will most likely use new PSU with ATX3 standard, which is a lot more costly and a lot higher power consumption from what I heard. I don't need to run a powerhouse to play warzone and apex legends in high setting, thus I am just going to get the PC now.
Considering switching over to pc as I’m sick of the limitations console gaming has. Also having a pc for work would be handy too but as someone very new to the world of pc’s and not wanting to break the bank it’s a pretty scary place to be. I would hate to build a system that in 2-3 years can’t handle the new games being released.
So, I'm hoping I can get some help here. This year I'm going out my way to try learn how to build a pc around my budget that'll allow me to use for a 2-3 years as I save up money to upgrade and repeat. I been running a AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Quard-core processor for about 5 years with a NVIDIA Gefroce GTX 1060 6GB. My motherboard recently died and a friend of mine told me to buy A520M Elite Aorus. He told me a AMD Ryzen 5 3rd Gen - RYZEN 5 3600 Matisse (Zen 2) 6-Core 3.6 GHz (4.2 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000031BOX Desktop Processor and a EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 KO ULTRA GAMING Video Card, 06G-P4-2068-KR, 6GB GDDR6, Dual Fans, Metal Backplate should last me 10 years of completive gaming. (I also have 32GB ram clocking in at 3200MHZ.... I'm asking did my friend troll me or did he put me on the right path.
Sticking with my 2060 super as there isn't really any mid range card worth buying atm except for the 3060ti but as of now too spenny for me to be dropping the cash on that. May aswell get a CPU upgrade 10600 to here I come.
I'm running a gigabyte Aorus gaming ddr4 Z690 MB with an i5 12600 chip MSi RTX 3600 graphics card Samsung Pro 1TB nvme. 64 gig 3200 ram and a Mugen 5 cooler and six rgb fans in a Corsair 5000D case. If you where to change something what would it be. Not playing high intensive games, except Elden Ring. Great shows BTW.
Building my first ever pc my last one was a prebuilt and it’s old from 2017.. I’m just stuck on a graphic card.. I did a X570-e vII mobo with a ryzen 5600X wish I went 5700X3D oh well.. can’t decide on amd or nvidia got in like a 360 ti 670xt 370 ti and last a 6700xt and would be wanting 1440p max to medium settings light gaming due to mainly game on Xbox series x and ps5 …. But I play Fortnite cod wreckfest dirt4 forza horizon 5 halo but mainly on Xbox , overwatch cyberpunk2077 gta5 rdr2 and few others like older stuff
im building a pc soon and waiting to get a gpu but dont know if i should get everything expect a gpu with a i5-12400f or everything excerpt a gpu without an i7 and wait later to get an i7 and then a gpu. If i get the i5 i can start saving for a gpu faster.
I'm running meh budget build from 2019 1660ti + ryzen 5 2600x I was fine, until I made mistake and bought 1440p monitor when I moved. My pc struggles with kinda lot of games at 1440p and I'm waiting for 4080/4070ti/4070 ish and build around it, so I won't have to worry about it at least for 5 years. If I wouldn't buy the monitor, I'd be fine another 2 years, so I pc with budget I'm aming at, should be good enough for the time period
tbh I just took PC Centric's advice and just buy now, I don't know if 40s series is worth it and I don't even know what the price/availability is. If its anything like the 30 series availability, and with Nvidia potentially holding back stock, I just bought a 3080ti after it dropped a bit then just when for my full dream build with a 4k 144hz monitor (jumping from a i7 6600U with a gtx 980 to an 12700K with a 3080ti). Honestly it feels pretty good to buy now (not cheap, but maybe if next gen comes out the current gen will be even cheaper? That's probably the only thing that was making me hold back).
Game devs will not be truly utilizing the power of cards like the 4080 for years. I just don't understand why anyone would get one this year other than street cred and wanting to give the utility co. more $ sooner🤣
I'm rocking 6700k and GTX 970 rig. I'm well overdue for an upgrade but didn't want to pay the covid tax. can't wait for the new CPUs and GPUs to arrive
Why not buying a rtx 3080 one week before the 4000 series launch? the 4000 series will be much more expensive and you could get the 3080 for a lower price. Am I wrong??? 17.08.2022
You are spot on. Many dont need to upgrade. I have a 5800X, 3060Ti and 16 gb 3600 mhz ram. It is enough. But I still have an urge to buy the new things. It is tragic actually.
Man there just isn't anything worth the cost of upgrading atm might go to 1440p to make it worth it. The 3060ti is still way to spenny for me atm. So might just buy a new CPU instead going to the i5 10600. I jsut can't justify 400 bucks for about 15-20% gain. So looks like the 2060 super will remain in service its but that 10600 is likley to do more good as the 10400 in some games jsut can't keep up.
Hi! So I'm only just now looking into building a gaming pc and I know literally nothing other than what's in this video! Do you happened to have a good video for absolute beginners??
Thankfully bought my 3050 on Amazon so I returned it and got back my $347, spent $40 more and got a 6650 XT. Which has better numbers than a 3060 in almost every title. Pricing so all over the place that people can say its better at one price when others think the price is outrageous. Its so confusing rn ngl.
i just need an upgrade... my rx580 has been kicking ass!!! love it. but i tried upgrading to a 5700xt... and that gpu just restarted my pc randomly... 3x a day or 3x a week. :) so i gave up.
Wish me luck I’m building my first PC ever moving for ps5 to pc for the first time. MSI PRO Z690-A ATX LGA1700 Motherboard. i9-12900K 3.2 GHz 16. Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) .DDR5-4800 .

Enermax Revolution D.F. 850 W 80
I was going to buy a 20 series 3000 series rig mid 2020 I was told by microcenters employees to wait for the 3000 and 5000 series. I did and I just put together my rig last month due to the scalp pricing we had to endure the last 2 years. I would say if you're waiting on the new 4000 and 7000 series good for you but if you are like me with no pc I'd suggest getting a cheaper 3000 and 5000 series rig. Hopefully you won't have to wait 2 years for it but as someone who did its a tough wait
I bought an almost complete PC last December, Ryzen 5 5600x, 16GB 3600mhz Ram, and just now im getting the money for a GPU, but im confused, i dont know what GPU to buy, do i buy a 3080, a 3070 ti or wait for the new graphic cards. I want to play really heavy game on ultra, and the 3080 seems pretty good at it, even in 1440p. Chat can you help ?
@@CIVICX3 I want to try Raytracing, but I think I will wait sometime, the graphics cards may lower his prices soon, or wait for Black Friday, and get a 3080 12 gb
Talking about all of this new tech, and you have people like my brother. He has been using the same Powercolor Red Devil RX 480 for years and years, and it is still going strong. He refuses to shitcan his RX 480. However, I can see why. That thing still performs, and I'm surprised.
if you gonna keep thinking like you should wait for the new ones , you will never be able to build anything, just buy when you are ready to buy and dont wait.
I'm new to PC building, and oh boy is this a headache! Part of me wants to jump into a AM5 motherboard to future proof for the next, what, decade or so? But how many limbs will I need to sell to get in on the ground floor?
you hit the nail on the head PC Centric. I have recently upgraded from a r5 1600 to 5600 and with my 1060 3gb i get 300-600 fps in Fortnite from 120-160 on performance mode. I am waiting for my 3060 ti I paid $620 tax included. Sorta thinking i do not need it as i play WOW and FN .i went with a 1080p 165hz monitor as i had a 60hz. Not being up to date on everything i had no idea 360hz is the new and 240 is more common. considering returning the monitor to get a 240/360 and at same time thinking again Do i need it? im no pro. But these digits we chase in the pc world can be overwhelming and empty the wallet
Buy now if you Need to upgrade. otherwise, hold out a little longer for new AMD CPU and GPU's, New Intel 13000 series CPU's and new nVidia GPU's ... really bad time to buy in my opinion. Buy your Case and 1000+ watt Power supply, nvme/ssd drives, etc. while you wait for the for the core parts. I would go 1200-1300 watts on power supply to future proof. You want your PS to run about 50-60% of total power requirements. (you may score a 4090 cheap when the 5000 series come out, you will need that 500 watts for just the card alone.)
Waiting for to see what the prices do on the 3080 12gb since they started up production on them again. Price is too close to the 3080 ti to justify buying one now. Maybe I should just go with the 3080 ti instead of beating up my GTX 960, lol. Wonder if the onboard graphics are better on the 12700K vs the 960?
wow this video was refreshing im currently rocking a i5 6600k same build from years ago cant seem to make up my mind if i want to get the best current stuff out now or wait for the new gen since its literally in the same month as this comment just a few days away ill definitely wait for everything to launch between now and dec then make my move.
jsut built my new system with a 5800x3d and rx 6800, chose to build now instead of waiting for the new cpu's simply bc ddr5 on the new am5 platform is jsut so expensive and not worth it atm
Great video! My pc is 5 years old, im running a vega 64 r7 2700x and im looking for an upgrade. Im fed up running my games on low settings LOL... looking to upgrade to a 4k monitor, new 40 series nvidia gpu, and one of the new ryzen cpu and motherboard, ddr5.. etc, might as well go all in and make it last another 5 years haha.
I’ve recently gotten into pc gaming and I love it. I built my first pc during the winter. The only thing is, as someone who has a learning disability, it’s been extremely stressful trying to learn all the different terms and how to make sure everything works correctly. It’s a big change since I’ve been on console my entire life.
Edit: Thank you all for the kind messages I really appreciate them all! I will definitely use all of your advice:)
I find it hard too, we will get used to it if we keep playing👍
It'll come to you eventually, I still don't understand all the technical mumbo jumbo and I've been doing this for about 4 years now. I know what I know and that's enough. Came from a console too, it'll come to ya, just take your time and don't stress over too much.
@@robertthomson1994 thank you man I really appreciate it. I’ve been doing lots of daily research trying to better understand the whole pc world. Pretty crazy what you can do with a computer
As long as you are enjoying yourself and not being irresponsible financially, you're doing it right. No one can play games for you, so no one should be telling you what their value to you is.
the worst part is installing the cpu. haha
I have a 5800x and an RTX 3080 I got it all for roughly MSRP right as the pandemic was starting. I'm going to just enjoy my hardware for the next three more years. Continue to feel lucky I was able to game during such a shitty time for PC gamers.

nice set up, i think your set up is more than enough for the next 2-3 years anyway, people just love to have the newest hardware even though 95% of us dont need it.
@@JamieReynolds89 Well said.
i was going to get a 5000x cpu back then to upgrade my ageing 7700k, but beacuse it was the last line of hardware that would be supported. i thought it would be better to hold of and wait for 7000 series..which is what iv done. I do think i wasted money on getting a 3080 though. its not enough for 4k gaming.
Got my RTX3080 just a few weeks before the prices went through the roof by the end fo 2020. CPU I7 9700K wasn´t maybe the best decision. Nevertheless I will wait a few years to replace the system. Microsoft Flight simulator runs constantly at around 60fps at 4k. Cyberpunk 2077 needs definetly a stronger hardware to run on ultra with 60fps in 4k and RT on.
Building my first ever pc today at age 12, wish me luck!!!!
hope u grow happily with it
Good luck! Building my first soon at 13!
Congrats! Goodluck!

I’ve been waiting a while to upgrade. I’m glad I waited out the insane prices during Covid. Hopefully beginning of 2023 will have reasonable options. On an old PC from 2016, but it was built well so still going strong. So I’m hoping to build another strong one soon to go another 6+ years.

Current PC is 7 years old, making a new 13700k/4080 build, buying a LG C2 4K OLED TV and a 360hz 1080p IPS monitor. Gonna play singleplayer games on the TV, CSGO, Valorant, League, etc. on the monitor. Gonna buy around Feb/March when everything settles down a bit.

I want to build a PC so bad but I kind of want to wait for the new CPU's.
Thats a slippery slope. There's always something new. Also keep in mind that new is not always better. There will be bugs!
In this case, you are right to wait. 4080 + RDNA2 is the way to go.
@@CLabmusic also the newer parts are gonna cost more too. Unless money don't matter lol
What christoforo said. About a year after you get it, it won’t be considered new anymore. A lot of these new high end CPUs and GPUs are excessive for the games we have now anyway. Unless you really want 4K, but imo 1440p is plenty good enough for considerably less cost.
New cpus need ddr5 which be 2x the price of ddr4
Sitting pretty on a 3080 and X3D. It's a beautiful combo.
I now need a new monitor so I can need to upgrade my PC again
yeah man its like a match made in heaven
Thank you for this. It's a difficult time for new buyers like myself. My daily work machine is actually just a Dell laptop that's on its last breath. All year I've been looking at building a PC but whether it be money issues or market issues, I'm finding myself almost in Q4 wondering if I should keep waiting. Like this laptop, i usually buy lower mid tier to save money and then in a couple years I'm obsolete. I'm attracted to building a PC because of the longevity and I want the best quality I can afford, but being at the Crux of a generation leap makes it difficult. Opinions flying everywhere, more hype than ever before from manufacturers, fan wars, the market crashing, prices bungeeing - there's a whole entire element on top of just trying to learn the basics and choose the best build. It's reassuring to hear creators saying not to rush into new launches or waste money on maxed out builds unless it's really what you need.
it's a hard one especially on the cup of a new launch but you have to try block all that out and go for what you need right now, if you urgently need it now then buy what u can afford right now. Can you stretch with ur current laptop and wait a bit? Maybe wait if you can otherwise go for it. There should be some awesome deals on current stuff. Without knowing what u do it's hard to say what to go for but you can't go wrong with mid range stuff for most things. The 5600x CPU should cover just about everything and it was recently on sale at such an amazing price lol, even the 5600 will do for most work scenarios.
I bought a 5600x knowing soon new stuff was coming, however that ended up becoming an "unknown time length" which btw, is now lol. So I would of been waiting ages. I am glad I didn't wait.
There was another time, ages ago where I paid a lot of money for a graphics card right before a new graphics card generation was coming out but at the time I needed to do it. Sucks that I could of literally doubled my performance by waiting a few months or got the same card I paid for at half the price BUT I had no choice then, I needed it asap. It just depends on your circumstances at the time. I do tend to wait for most things and see what prices are like once things are out then weight up do I really need the extra performance for that much more cash, if it turns out I don't then I just pay less and get less performance but enough for my needs! It's not always easy to know what is right for your needs and honestly I keep thinking about that a lot recently. There are some great youtubers and content creators but not a lot of them actually explain each budget level and to the person watching who is clueless, they could end up more clueless by the end of the videos lol. I'm thinking of trying to do something to help people but it's hard to know what to cover and it's hard when you don't fully understand the tech side yourself haha. Sorry I did not mean for this comment to be so long!! EEP
@@keblin86 first off, I love gaming and I'm just sick of being stuck at low performance. My current PC can no longer handle games, the thermal issues got so bad that I'm pretty sure the hardware is fried and I can't even run low-spec games now. For work I don't need to do any crazy 3D rendering but occasional motion graphics and video editing is both part of my job and a hobby. I do a lot of graphic design which requires multitasking of CPU dependent programs so I was originally going to go for a 360 TI 5600x build since it seems to be unanimously the best price to performance, however, I recently considered bumping it up to the r7 instead of the R5 since it seems the seven line is supposed to be geared more towards productivity. 🤷🏻♀️ I've been watching sales go by and chomping at the bit wondering if I should take advantage of them I don't think I can wait another year or more.
@@samijune5824 ah very similar to me then. I used to do web/graphic work and funnily enough I am about to get back into a bit of web work lol. Though only personal and more as hobby now so nothing major. I can tell you straight away if you are going to get serious with editing more ram is better. That combo you mentioned should be great. The 5600x is a great processor but with you mentioning those work tasks I would possibly go bigger if you can afford it and if this was a year ago I would say do it now BUT I would not recommend buying bigger right now regarding a CPU, if you can hold off I would wait and see what happens with the next batch of new CPU's. I know nit sucks waiting but it won't be long now and hopefully soon we can see the prices of everything then pick something. Ultimately though, you are going to end up with a sweet setup by the end of this so try to just hang in there a little bit more. You waited this long, you can wait a few more weeks/months surely? You got this!
I don't know much about the AMD side of things btw, especially gpu's but I do hear nvidia is better for productivity side of things, if you do editing/streaming etc. Though I am also biased there. I love Nvidia for the GPU side. This was my first time going amd on the CPU and although it's great I am also a bit biased there. I prefer intel lol. However it doesn't matter too much at the end of the day if it does the performance I need.
What resolution are you aiming for in gaming and refresh rate?
Also, if I can help in anyway let me know. Probably can't but with your spec being very close to my current spec hopefully I could help. I am 5600x with a 3070 and 32gb ram.
If production is up and demand is down, Price will NOT necessarily go down. I can use the same argument with "production was low, demand was high (miners) " When the 3000 series launched. If the prices are down, demand will ALWAYS be high, that's just nature.
Honestly excited now that we're only several weeks away from brand new CPUs and later this year new GPUs. New PCIe gen 5 SSDs are also nice but I think 3 and 4 will be fine for years to come. Plus until Direct Storage comes around it's not gonna be utilized much unless you're doin tons of transfers or for maybe large projects.
Still exciting all around for us PC enthusiasts. I look forward to hitting up Microcenter next month once Zen4 comes around so I can build my new PC. Let's go!
Hell yeah 🤙🏼 Goodluck on your build!
This is hilarious to me, as I just ordered my first gaming pc last night with a 3070 in it.
Sod always wanting the latest and best.
Using a Ryzen 3100, 1070ti, 16Gb 3200mhz RAM on a B450 board playing at 1080p 144hz. More than happy, but may grab a 1440p monitor as next upgrade in the future. Oh and a Ryzen 5600 when they flood the market 😁
they way you talk(rhyme,speech and knowledge) is impressive I've been wanting a affordable pc gaming computer for awhile but it's been so hard you've earned a sub(I saw you on my recommended)
I wish I was able to afford one, especially at my young age, my pc broke a few days ago and I would game on it and it was the only thing I had to keep me distracted, and it was a work pc that I stole from my sister so that made it worse, I pretty much get excited every time I see setup or those “Building my fans dream gaming setup” videos while dreaming that will happen to me one day, it’s a good thing i saw this vid so i can ask my parents to buy them when the prices drop
I got a Ryzen 5 7600x CPU and an ASRock Phantom Gaming D OC Radeon RX 6750 XT GPU during Black Friday to start my first PC build, saved around $300 before tax. The same GPU now sells for almost $700(bought it on sale for around $400) after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I picked a pretty good time to pull the trigger lol.
I know AM5 is new and expensive because of motherboards, but I don't plan on having to upgrade for a while and it allows me the time for that down the road. The build I have planned should allow me to do everything I want and more, mostly gaming and maybe dabbling in game design and trying out streaming when I get a capture card after a while.
for people who want to build pc from scratch, should buy am4 now or wait am5?
is it true am5 will probably have much bug? better am4 for stability?
It partially depends on your current system. Can you wait until AM5 matures 1-2 years after release?
I am currently building an AM4 platform to replace my intel i7 2600 - 780TI PC. It will be a huge jump for me. However, there will not be any new upgrade except for the GPU as I like to build a PC and forget it and I only plan to upgrade the GPU in a few years. Unlike AM5 will allow you some upgradability but expect higher prices and some stock availability issues in the first few months from release.

I mean the 3070 is more than enough since I'm only playing at 1080p right now but that extra power would have given my PC more longevity because if its anything in comparison to the 1080 which even today 6 years later its still a good enough for 1080p high settings on most AAA games

I didn't understand the buying a 3080 a week before the 4080 part, that was my plan exactly haha
When the 4080 will launch, the 3080 price will probably go down a lot, also it's very likely that the 4080 will not be available in a few months due to high demand by enthusiasts, meaning that buying a 3080 a week before the 4080 launch means I get it before it's price rises again.. it's the sweet spot

something youre not mentioning is with the new 40 series gpu's etc is you need every other component upgraded and the main thing, is the power consumption!! the gpu and cpu's that are coming seem to be very power hungry to say the least. and with everything going on with the price of electricity going through the roof, i really dont think its a good idea to be using that much more power, which is going to cost you more weekly to run. when you can play the best games out now just fine with current spec gpu's and cpu's. that use far less electricity.

I am getting a PC with intel 12th gen this month. I have been using a 1060 gaming laptop for years and it can't keep up with the games I play. Prices of PC parts are lower now - RAM, PSU, GPU and CPU. Mobo is still crazy expensive for some reason. Intel 12600k because it is cheaper, newer and run faster than AMD's counterpart 5800X. The new generation PC next year will most likely use new PSU with ATX3 standard, which is a lot more costly and a lot higher power consumption from what I heard. I don't need to run a powerhouse to play warzone and apex legends in high setting, thus I am just going to get the PC now.

If I wouldn't buy the monitor, I'd be fine another 2 years, so I pc with budget I'm aming at, should be good enough for the time period
Just bought a used 1060 so I got a back up pc at home :>
tbh I just took PC Centric's advice and just buy now, I don't know if 40s series is worth it and I don't even know what the price/availability is. If its anything like the 30 series availability, and with Nvidia potentially holding back stock, I just bought a 3080ti after it dropped a bit then just when for my full dream build with a 4k 144hz monitor (jumping from a i7 6600U with a gtx 980 to an 12700K with a 3080ti).
Honestly it feels pretty good to buy now (not cheap, but maybe if next gen comes out the current gen will be even cheaper? That's probably the only thing that was making me hold back).
Built my first pc in 2016. Finally going for some upgrades and I feel like I’ve missed so much haha. Picked up a Rtx 3070 AORUS for $480 😖
Game devs will not be truly utilizing the power of cards like the 4080 for years. I just don't understand why anyone would get one this year other than street cred and wanting to give the utility co. more $ sooner🤣
I build my pc like right now... You are very late.
😭
I need (want) max settings, no dipping below 175 fps, 1440p. I'm thinking the 4080 should get me there on my 3 year old i9 setup.
Is an Rtx 3060 for $400 good rn? If not what should I buy?
Bruh yeah thats hella good go for it man
Bro no. If you have enough budget for RTX3060, JUST try to reach RTX3060ti. The jump is well worth it.
Depends on what you already have if its worth buying. Your cpu and your monitor are both big factors on what gpu you should be looking to buy.
@@riichobamin7612 I looked at it and you for sure right. Gunna go return that 3060
@Smiler I looked at it and you for sure right. Gunna go return that 3060
My RX 6700 10GB just arrived today and I am happy with it. Spent $369.00 and it feels like a steal
I'm rocking 6700k and GTX 970 rig. I'm well overdue for an upgrade but didn't want to pay the covid tax. can't wait for the new CPUs and GPUs to arrive
I love the 970. It's still a decent GPU for 1080p gaming.
You'll be waiting for a long time. May as well just upgrade now.
Got myself a 3080 strix, really happy
Why not buying a rtx 3080 one week before the 4000 series launch? the 4000 series will be much more expensive and you could get the 3080 for a lower price. Am I wrong??? 17.08.2022
Building my itx ff PC this weekend. I'm ok being 1 gen behind, the cost worked out for me. 5600x, 3060ti FE, 16gig, 500gig drive, Hyte case.
You are spot on. Many dont need to upgrade. I have a 5800X, 3060Ti and 16 gb 3600 mhz ram. It is enough. But I still have an urge to buy the new things. It is tragic actually.
I have the same problem🤣
Man there just isn't anything worth the cost of upgrading atm might go to 1440p to make it worth it. The 3060ti is still way to spenny for me atm. So might just buy a new CPU instead going to the i5 10600. I jsut can't justify 400 bucks for about 15-20% gain. So looks like the 2060 super will remain in service its but that 10600 is likley to do more good as the 10400 in some games jsut can't keep up.
@@garycollumbell1396 10400 should do fine on 1440p.
Hi! So I'm only just now looking into building a gaming pc and I know literally nothing other than what's in this video! Do you happened to have a good video for absolute beginners??
Thankfully bought my 3050 on Amazon so I returned it and got back my $347, spent $40 more and got a 6650 XT. Which has better numbers than a 3060 in almost every title. Pricing so all over the place that people can say its better at one price when others think the price is outrageous. Its so confusing rn ngl.
i have a 3050
@@hjrgf if you got it for $250 you got ur moneys worth, but if u paid $320-$340 for it thats a rip
@@Dessoh i got a prebuilt it was the only one that was cheap with a good card
IM SO EXCITED IM BULDING MY VERY FIRST PC AND I CANT WAIT
10:02 ... the moment i´m gonna buy an apple 4k TV and get on with Apple Arcade :))
excited for Ryzen 7000 series and the reasonable pricing. Ive been using Ryzen 5 1600 since 2018 paired with RX 570 then upgraded to RTX 3060 TI.
Get a r5 5600x. skip 7000 series, it won't help much on mid tier gpu
This couldn’t have come at a better time.
Really hope 13700k + RTX 4080 will be easily buildable sub €2000
i just need an upgrade... my rx580 has been kicking ass!!! love it. but i tried upgrading to a 5700xt... and that gpu just restarted my pc randomly... 3x a day or 3x a week. :) so i gave up.
Wish me luck I’m building my first PC ever moving for ps5 to pc for the first time.

I was going to buy a 20 series 3000 series rig mid 2020 I was told by microcenters employees to wait for the 3000 and 5000 series. I did and I just put together my rig last month due to the scalp pricing we had to endure the last 2 years. I would say if you're waiting on the new 4000 and 7000 series good for you but if you are like me with no pc I'd suggest getting a cheaper 3000 and 5000 series rig. Hopefully you won't have to wait 2 years for it but as someone who did its a tough wait
I bought an almost complete PC last December, Ryzen 5 5600x, 16GB 3600mhz Ram, and just now im getting the money for a GPU, but im confused, i dont know what GPU to buy, do i buy a 3080, a 3070 ti or wait for the new graphic cards. I want to play really heavy game on ultra, and the 3080 seems pretty good at it, even in 1440p. Chat can you help ?
@@curto8101 you can also look into amd gpus also.... but if you want raytracing go with Nvidia
@@CIVICX3 I want to try Raytracing, but I think I will wait sometime, the graphics cards may lower his prices soon, or wait for Black Friday, and get a 3080 12 gb
I m planing on buying a pc in 2023 , next summer , I will see what the prices are but for now I got 430 , 530 to go
Talking about all of this new tech, and you have people like my brother. He has been using the same Powercolor Red Devil RX 480 for years and years, and it is still going strong. He refuses to shitcan his RX 480. However, I can see why. That thing still performs, and I'm surprised.
no one needs a brand new pc you can get an i9 9900K and a gtx 1080ti and it will game just fine
are you not worried about bottlenecking?
@@SpaceBar01 its always better to have a faster cpu
Hello Pc centric I have a question, should I get A MSI Gaming Z trio 3080 Or a ASUS ROG STRIX 3080 OC? Pls lmk
I seem to remember the rog strix were the best regarded cards of this gen
Building mine really soon
I’m still waiting for the 3070 ti to drop 😂 it looks aesthetically pleasing
It dropped so much already. I got mine a few weeks ago actually cheaper than some 3060ti models.
Nice im currently getting a partlist ready for a new Pc soon
if you gonna keep thinking like you should wait for the new ones , you will never be able to build anything, just buy when you are ready to buy and dont wait.
I'm new to PC building, and oh boy is this a headache! Part of me wants to jump into a AM5 motherboard to future proof for the next, what, decade or so? But how many limbs will I need to sell to get in on the ground floor?
Great content, good job!👍
you hit the nail on the head PC Centric. I have recently upgraded from a r5 1600 to 5600 and with my 1060 3gb i get 300-600 fps in Fortnite from 120-160 on performance mode. I am waiting for my 3060 ti I paid $620 tax included. Sorta thinking i do not need it as i play WOW and FN .i went with a 1080p 165hz monitor as i had a 60hz. Not being up to date on everything i had no idea 360hz is the new and 240 is more common. considering returning the monitor to get a 240/360 and at same time thinking again Do i need it? im no pro. But these digits we chase in the pc world can be overwhelming and empty the wallet
I got a mediocre pc from 2013/2014 with a 1060ti.
Looking really forward to create a new setup with AM5 and the next gen graphic cards
Buy now if you Need to upgrade. otherwise, hold out a little longer for new AMD CPU and GPU's, New Intel 13000 series CPU's and new nVidia GPU's ... really bad time to buy in my opinion.
Buy your Case and 1000+ watt Power supply, nvme/ssd drives, etc. while you wait for the for the core parts. I would go 1200-1300 watts on power supply to future proof. You want your PS to run about 50-60% of total power requirements. (you may score a 4090 cheap when the 5000 series come out, you will need that 500 watts for just the card alone.)
Waiting for to see what the prices do on the 3080 12gb since they started up production on them again. Price is too close to the 3080 ti to justify buying one now. Maybe I should just go with the 3080 ti instead of beating up my GTX 960, lol. Wonder if the onboard graphics are better on the 12700K vs the 960?
Where would you suggest is the best place to purchase a brand new gaming pc from?
wow this video was refreshing im currently rocking a i5 6600k same build from years ago cant seem to make up my mind if i want to get the best current stuff out now or wait for the new gen since its literally in the same month as this comment just a few days away ill definitely wait for everything to launch between now and dec then make my move.
jsut built my new system with a 5800x3d and rx 6800, chose to build now instead of waiting for the new cpu's simply bc ddr5 on the new am5 platform is jsut so expensive and not worth it atm
Great video! My pc is 5 years old, im running a vega 64 r7 2700x and im looking for an upgrade. Im fed up running my games on low settings LOL... looking to upgrade to a 4k monitor, new 40 series nvidia gpu, and one of the new ryzen cpu and motherboard, ddr5.. etc, might as well go all in and make it last another 5 years haha.
My current GPU is the 1050Ti. I'll probably upgrade next year when the mid range cards such as the 4060/4060Ti releases.
Good god going from console to PC is mad scary lol theres just so much
