Hey @broiamtellingyouthatyousuck, thanks for sharing your thoughts! Intel CPUs can run hotter in compact builds, especially when pushed to their limits, which can be challenging for cooling in mini-ITX cases. However, with the right cooling setup, you can still make it work well. AMD CPUs tend to have better power efficiency, which can be a plus in small form factor builds. It ultimately depends on the performance you're after and the cooling setup.

@ibrahimelshenawy-v9l Hey! You can buy a Wi-Fi 6E router from various tech retailers, both online and in-store. Websites like Amazon, Newegg, or Best Buy often have a great selection of Wi-Fi 6E devices. Just make sure your device also supports Wi-Fi 6E to take full advantage of the speed and bandwidth it offers. Let me know if you need any recommendations on models!

@kutrodassf1851 Hey! That’s a great question. If you’ve heard about new GPUs/CPUs dropping early next year, it’s definitely something to consider. New launches can push down prices of current-gen hardware, but it’s hard to predict how much the prices will drop or when exactly it’ll happen.

If you’re looking for the best performance on a budget, it might be worth waiting, especially if the new parts offer significant improvements or price reductions on older models. But if you need a build now, the parts available today are still solid for most gaming needs and might not see drastic drops immediately after the new releases.

Hey @Slybot1, I get where you're coming from, but the GTX 1660 still holds up well for a lot of budget builds, especially in 1080p gaming. It's not meant to compete with newer cards, but for the price, it offers a decent performance for those on a tight budget.

Hey @BuffNoobGaming, appreciate your thoughts! Mid-range NVIDIA cards definitely have their pros and cons, but they still serve a large number of gamers really well, especially for 1080p gaming and budget builds. The RX 7700 XT you mentioned is solid, but not everyone needs that kind of power for their setup. As for the Ryzen 5 7500F, great recommendation for those looking to save a bit! The Ryzen 5 7600X is stronger, though, especially if you're looking for extra performance in CPU-heavy tasks. Each build depends on what you're aiming for! Thanks for the suggestion!

@Rollsbrother-v5b True, the 12th Gen CPUs have been out for a while, but they still pack a punch for gaming and everyday tasks. While newer gens are available, the 12th Gen often offers great performance at a more budget-friendly price, especially for those who don’t need the latest and greatest. It’s all about finding the right balance for your build!

@theodoregaus6237 That's a solid deal! The Peerless Assassin 120 SE is indeed a fantastic cooler for the price. Combining that with a budget SSD upgrade sounds like a win-win for anyone looking to enhance their system's performance without breaking the bank!

@@PCPowerHub Yep 🔥

@amyodov Yeah, it’s definitely interesting to see how quickly the ‘future-proof’ concept evolves. Even though some CPUs are 2 years old, they still hold up in many use cases, but the tech world moves fast! It’s all about balancing performance now with what might still work a couple of years down the line.

​@@PCPowerHub, yup. Honestly, these days I would opt for i7 14700/14700F or even 14900/F (to keep at least baseline TDP under 220W); but even more likely, Ryzen 9900X (or even 9700X, for even better TDP). And of course, M4 Max instead of M2 Max!

@amyodov The i7 14700/F and 14900/F are both solid choices, especially with the TDP improvements. The 9900X/9700X on the Ryzen side is definitely appealing for better power efficiency too. M4 Max over M2 Max is a no-brainer-Apple’s really stepping it up with those. Depends on the specific build you're going for, but yeah, all excellent picks!

@theRealbikerdude I appreciate the feedback! In this video, I actually focused on a $770 build with the Ryzen 5 5600X and GTX 1660 Super, which still holds up really well for 1080p gaming at high settings. I definitely agree that for $1000, you could push for 1440p max settings, but I wanted to keep this build more budget-friendly while still delivering great performance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@@PCPowerHub yes GTX-1660 and the Ryzen 5 5600X definitely are still great for 1080p, but even for 700-800 you can do better especially if it only pure performance and not any aesthetics, cool video just pointing that out

@SimonSuitsmart-d3s Totally agree! The RX 6700 XT is a beast for its price range. It's definitely a solid upgrade over the GTX 1660, especially for 1440p gaming. As for CPUs, you can find a Ryzen 5 5700X around that $200 range, which would be perfect for gaming and productivity.

@johandalsgaard1798 Nice! The Ryzen 9 5950X is an absolute powerhouse, especially for heavy multitasking or content creation. Have you overclocked it, or is it running stock? Curious to know how it’s performing in your setup!

@chp19711971 Totally agree! The Ryzen 7 7700X is a powerhouse with those 8 cores and 16 threads. It's got a great base clock and insane boost speeds. Even today, it's still one of the best CPUs for gaming and productivity. Definitely a future-proof pick!

@stephen5224 I hear you, AI-generated content can feel repetitive sometimes. I try to mix things up with unique insights and personal experiences, not just rely on the AI for everything. It's all about adding real value!

@belivemesir How is it not right when the Crucial P3 M.2 SSD is only $31 and the T-Force Delta 2x8GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM is just $45? These prices are really competitive for the performance they offer!

Exactly

Hey @CadenKarow, I get what you're saying! But I recommended a CPU cooler because while many pre-built PCs do come with one, upgrading to a better cooler can significantly improve performance, especially for gaming or intensive tasks. As for the SSD vs HDD, a 256 GB SSD can provide a noticeable boost in boot times and overall system responsiveness compared to a 1TB HDD, even though the storage is smaller. But it all depends on what you're looking for-speed or space! If you're after more space and don't mind the slower speed, then the HDD could be a better fit for you. 😊

@@PCPowerHub fair and I do understand that if the pc came with a bad cooler and is thermaly throttling

@@PCPowerHubupgrading your cooler will absolutely not give you a measurable amount of performance

@TeamLunacyReal I get your point, and you're right that upgrading a cooler won’t directly boost performance in terms of FPS. But better cooling can help maintain consistent performance by preventing thermal throttling, especially in longer gaming or heavy workloads. Plus, a quieter and more efficient system is always a nice bonus! 😄 What cooler are you using right now?

@MidnightNachosThe i7-14700K is a solid choice, especially for gaming and content creation. It brings strong single-core performance, which is great for high refresh rate gaming, and has enough multi-core power for tasks like video editing or streaming. It's not the absolute top-tier, but definitely offers great value for its price in the high-end market!

@@PCPowerHub I've had it for about 10 months so glad to hear that it's future proof enough

@jeanlucdiscard AMD is definitely killing it when it comes to price-to-performance right now, especially for GPUs under $1,000. The Radeon RX 7800 XT and 7900 XT are solid choices if you’re looking for high-end 1440p or even some 4K gaming without breaking the bank. NVIDIA might have the ray tracing edge, but AMD's raw power for the price is hard to beat!

@AvitaBeckling Totally agree, the 4090 is the king for 4K max settings right now, but yeah, it can still struggle to max out certain games. The 5090 might be the true next-gen powerhouse, but the i9 14900K and 4090 combo still crushes 99% of games today. As for Fortnite, optimization can be a bit weird, but anything above 150 FPS on 4K HDR is already insane!

Thanks for the feedback, Andrew! I see where you're coming from regarding the DVD-ROMs and CD-ROMs. My goal was to keep the video concise, but you're right-those were important parts of computer evolution. I'll consider adding more details on storage media in a future update. Appreciate your thoughts!

Thanks for your input! Both the AMD 7600XTX and the RTX 3070 are solid choices. The 7600XTX definitely offers excellent value for its price and performance, especially in a range of titles. However, the 3070 might edge out in FPS games thanks to its consistent frame rates and better optimization for competitive gaming. I appreciate the suggestion!

that is like $450+ these are like budget friendly

@@d-abyz8565 Brand new it would have been that much, but it is likely closer to $300 or even less than that, now. The 5700X3D is also a really good option that is less than $200 brand new right now too. Either, or both of those CPU's would be a great suggestion to get over the 5600G, 5600x, 5800x, and even in some circumstances even the 5900x.

@ggeorgiev330 The 5800X3D is a great choice, especially for gaming, but yeah, it's a bit on the higher end in terms of pricing. If you're looking for something more budget-friendly, I'd recommend looking into the Ryzen 5700X. It's similar in performance for a lot less, and still a solid option for both gaming and productivity. If you're strictly gaming, the 5600X also holds up really well without breaking the bank.

​@@PCPowerHub Why on earth did you delete my comment? It was useful information.

I didn't ???

XD, good point! Saying "40 90" definitely rolls off the tongue better than "4000 and 90." Gotta keep it smooth for all the GPU enthusiasts out there. 😄

It indeed is, but maybe that machine is not only being used to videogames

@@Repollo_XD ye

@user-1488e The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is definitely a beast for gaming, no doubt. But I think @Repollo_XD is on point here - the choice of CPU really depends on the type of workload. If it's mainly gaming, 7800X3D shines, but if you're also doing stuff like video editing, rendering, or other CPU-intensive tasks, there might be other options that balance things out better.

3200MT is pretty solid for gaming! You should be able to handle most modern games without any bottlenecks. Unless you’re doing heavy multitasking or running super demanding applications, that speed is more than enough for a smooth experience!

@@PCPowerHub Yeah i have been thinking about upgrading to 2933 mhz though because im pretty sure 3200MT is like 1600mhz?

Actually, 3200MT/s and 1600MHz are kind of the same thing, but measured differently. The 3200MT/s (mega-transfers per second) is the effective data rate, while 1600MHz is the actual clock speed. So your 3200MT RAM is already running at its full potential. Upgrading to 2933MHz wouldn’t really be an upgrade since it's a bit slower than what you have!

If you're still thinking about upgrading, you could consider going for something faster, like 3600MT/s or even 4000MT/s, especially if you're running a Ryzen system since it can benefit from faster RAM speeds. But honestly, your 3200MT is solid for most games. If you're not experiencing any issues, sticking with it might be the best move!

@@PCPowerHub Wait what so 3200MT is basically the same as something like 3200Mhz?

@Seketsu To clean your laptop from dust, first turn it off and unplug it. Use a can of compressed air to blow out dust from the vents and keyboard. If you're comfortable, you can open the back panel and gently clean the fans. Just be careful not to damage anything inside! Also, wiping down the exterior with a microfiber cloth helps keep it clean too!

@TechnicianGoose65 Yeah, some TH-camrs overcomplicate it, but it’s honestly pretty simple if you know the basics! Just a bit of compressed air and care goes a long way. 👌

Interesting take! I've actually been hearing mixed feedback about the newer generations too, but it's mostly been about higher temperatures and power consumption. I'm curious though, what kind of issues did you run into with the 13th and 14th gen? I've been keeping an eye on them for potential builds, so I'd appreciate the heads up!

@PCPowerHub well random crashes in games and in premiere pro, and after some months that finally leads to blue screen crashes. After the microcode update seemed to have fixed it but the cpu performance went down by 15-20% and according to some tech testers, once you start getting these blue screens, your intel cpu is already physically damaged and will slowly degrade in the future..the best is just to rma it for a refund and go amd with the money if I want a stable system and performing cpu... this process is just too long, and I use my computer mostly for work, so I can't go without a system for 2-4 weeks. I have been slowing building an amd system to replace it and will just ask intel for a refund once it's done..

Wow, that sounds like a real pain. Random crashes and blue screens after a few months are frustrating, especially if you rely on your system for work. It's good that you're already building an AMD system as a backup. The RMA process can definitely be a hassle, especially with the 2-4 week downtime. Hopefully, switching to AMD gives you a smoother experience! Let me know how it goes once you've made the switch-I might follow suit if Intel doesn't get their act together , I just uploaded a video about the 13th generation, now I will not upload a video for the 14th generation and I will start uploading about AMD. Thank you.

I will talk about it soon

The best Intel CPU really depends on your needs, but Ryzen CPUs are great too! It’s all about finding what works best for your build.

XD fair enough! Intel's not for everyone. What’s your go-to CPU brand?

@@PCPowerHub AMD provides the biggest bang for the buck

@RickTheClipper Absolutely! AMD has really been killing it lately when it comes to price-to-performance. They've come a long way and offer great value, especially for those who want high performance without breaking the bank. It’s hard to beat the ‘bang for the buck’ AMD is offering right now!

XD, I wish! I just enjoy sharing what I’ve learned about Intel CPUs, but I’m all about helping people find what suits their needs!

Good points about Alder Lake! I agree, Ryzen 4 is definitely a strong choice, especially if you're looking to avoid some of the newer-gen issues.

@dwaynestimpson5449 You’re absolutely right! I accidentally included Nvidia cards in this video about Intel Arc GPUs. Thanks for catching that! I’ll be more careful in the future and make sure to keep the focus on Intel’s lineup. Appreciate the feedback!"

Hey @pelimies1818, no joke here! The video is meant to help those interested in Intel's lineup for 2024. But if you have any suggestions or think something could be better, I’d love to hear it. Constructive feedback is always welcome!

Only joke is you buying inferior products.
