@@shwah8299 unfortunately- you’re not wrong

Thats what I'm currently doing.

@@seanbarrett4127 nice - Microcenter has the bundles in stock too for the 9800x3d

@@asdfqwerty-u9n I am honestly an intel user- holding out for some hope of a performance patch that I just read about yesterday. Amd is obviously getting so much hype at the moment it that it’s borderline ridiculous. I did test the new core 9 ultra and it does have strong compute power for sure.

@@notniex I would have to say it would be an upgrade. You can fit a large gpu (4090) and have room for 2 360 radiators in the 3500x. I just installed a custom loop on the case I reviewed and there was a ton of room and great airflow. I would say it’s an upgrade. Cable management is really good on your current case but I would say the 3500x has the edge on the 4000d and x series. My only beef with the 4000 series cases is the limited space for rads at the top of the case. 240 only unfortunate for the 4000d

@@notniex that’s a good deal

@@pvdgucht I have been wondering what the deal is - eBay scalpers have them for over 700 bucks

@ yeah I paid €699 which is €21 higher than boxed price. Since this seller was the only one who had then they also took advantage to sell the tray version for more while they are probably even cheaper. It’s really a paper launch! Or maybe they have difficulty with the N3B node and low yield and that’s why they have so many binned down CPU’s in the form of the 7 and 5.

@@MrArcanjoGabriel the core ultra 9 sold out first day everywhere- Micro center New egg Amazon All sold out. First day.

then wait and dont release it shit then, dont defend trash products

You have to release it it’s like free beta testing. Also because something doesn’t live up to your standards it doesn’t mean it’s trash. Everyone loves the 14900k and it’s pretty much on par with that with better power efficiency and higher workstation bandwidth. You’re one of those people that wanted it to be revolutionary and it wasn’t ever supposed to be that. Look at 1st gen Ryzen, he’ll even 2nd gen Ryzen it was terrible people laughed at it but it was just a stepping stone for AMD to get to where they are now. AMD would have never got to that point if they just waited to release a halo product. They needed the feedback the free beta testing its almost impossible to play out every scenario in a lab of your own engineers.

@@waylandtpwell, with the exception that Halo is awesome

@@shxdow8342 lots of choices here but if you’re just gaming - I would push towards amd and the am5 platform. What’s your budget and what do you do on your pc? What monitor and refresh rate do use?

@@tonypolitowicz8290 i wanna upgrade my pc with around a 400$ budget i use around a 1080p 165hz monitor

The fans below the gpu are directing air into the gpu blowing upward- the gpu fans are also always blowing upward. With fans the rule is "faces suck" so in short, the fans help a lot with gpu temps. Hope this was helpful. Thank you for watching and the question.

@@jtome5467 so there is a lot of fear from consumers buying Intel 13th and 14th gen , I personally have 3 i9 systems. 14900k , 13900ks and a 13900k , none of these systems have had any issues. Now I understand the bios and voltage. I had made adjustments way before people were aware of any issues and before Intel knew there was a problem. Currently as long as you update your bios to the newest microcode, I see zero issue with buying the 13th and 14th gen. They are definitely faster than the new core ultra in gaming. Cooling is also important with the i9 CPU’s . I am on custom watercooling and they run extremely cool. As for aio coolers that can handle the i9 - the best results I personally tested on was the ek 360 aio that is affordable and combined with a contact frame and good thermal paste such as thermal grizzly kryonaught or kingpin kpx , it should be a good gaming experience. Also having a higher end motherboard with lots of vrm cooling and powerstages is important with the i9. That being said 14700k and 13700k and extremely good for gaming. If you have concerns, the 12900k and 12700k are good options that are plug and play.

@@tonypolitowicz8290 Ok thanks for the advice. While i still have time, until black friday starts, I will some research about to update bios (some advice update first before put CPU) and "how to adjusments on voltage". If i go with 13th gen something happen i will switch to i9 12900k.

One thing forget to ask is when you said for 12th gen just "plug and play" but should i still set power limit (to what is recommend it on intel website) or just leave it has it is? Also should i update the latest bios (with microde 0x12B) it wont effect to the 12th gen performance? Sorry to ask this questions i just want to make sure i don't make mistakes or encounter issues.

@ so for 12th gen the old micro code is fine the 12th GENCPU doesn’t demand as much power and voltage is an issue. I have a 12th GEN on a PC at my work office and it’s on an old bios . It never commands a lot of voltage and I’ve had zero issues whatsoever.

@@tonypolitowicz8290 ok then leave it sets has it is. Thank you

@@sunyan_86 glad you could catch it on a good deal. I’ve been using at work for the last week and it’s a joy to use so far.

I am so lucky

@@tonypolitowicz8290 Thank you. It will be arrived probably October 29 to November 3. I will reply you my thoughts and review about the keyboard and a different switch option than yours.

I picked up the zebra switch version for $39.99 right before the increase! #winning

@@coltonmandell4829 It arrived ! Love it!

@@standards-freak yeah I like that board.

@@stephanhart9941 i completely agree -but for the budget builders it can be a good cheap option

Appreciate it!

@@standards-freak thank you for the feedback -

@@JerzyLasica I couldn’t agree more

@@e36boy no matter what path you take - you are looking at a huge uplift in performance.

Thank you for the feedback- I may have an issue in post production- I will make adjustments and again thank you

@@tonypolitowicz8290 FWIW, it sounds okay to me at mid volume

@@TatterD yeah on my pc it’s seems fine too. I will look at it today.

That’s awesome! Congrats on the new build !!

@@tonypolitowicz8290 thank you!

Similar here just getting a 4080 non Super 13700k prebuild refurb for cheap coming from a 1080 Ti. I saved so much that I also scored a 27" 1440p OLED. Bliss! 50 series prices will make many regret not buying sooner.

@@cosmicheretic8129 The 1080ti is great. I had that in my rig before the 2080ti. I just gave that build to my friend it wasn’t even worth going through the trouble to sell it and he was still on a 970 somehow. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@cosmicheretic8129 Practically the same card. Good choice 👍🏾 if the 5080/5090 are a good price, I’ll loose a bit of cash and buy the 4090.

I really like designs by IFR and bro cooling. We are obviously into the same content. Bro cooling is one of my favorite as well as far as strictly custom loop builds.

@@Boss-zo4lw news around the campfire is that the 5090 will be at 2500. But we will see in January

@@Hesoulo if you want to be somewhat future proof , the newest amd socket is probably the way to go. I would look for motherboard,cpu , ram bundles and save some money. (Microcenter has the best deals) . At that point any current gen gpu that is decent would be good . Stay away from the super budget gpu’s. I’m a big fan of the 4070 and 4070super because the cost isn’t outrageous and it isn’t that power hungry.

If you want a really cheap build, you can buy an used processor and gpu, or even a complete computer. Like the Ryzen 5 3600 and Gtx 1080ti 11gb is going for very cheap used now. I bought the cpu for 50€ and the gpu for 150€. It has similar performence to an modern RTX 4060. I have a "Asus TUFF Gaming B450-Plus 2" motherboard. This board supports all the AM4 1/2/3 generation Ryzen Cpu's. "Out of the box" it supported my old 1600x/3600 and also 5600 without bios update. What i can improve overall is investing in a really good heatsink for the cpu and mabe some higher clock ddr4 memory. This all depends on what games the kid plays, if he is into older games like me, you have better compatibility & performence with older builds compared to modern builds.

@@CreativeHuckleBerry the used market can be a great resource- Just try and test the hardware before you buy if possible!

@@goalieman206 good advice

What kind of uplift did you get going from 3080 to 7900xt?

@@joniqst I will say the 3080 is a great card

@@joniqst 3080 is still a great card but I went from around 60 FPS to 95+ in games like helldivers 2 and space marine 2. I didn’t like sitting at 60 at max settings but you definitely can do it

@@TheCROHELLBOY well some things to consider. For games like csgo not a problem. If you were compare it to say a 5600x a budget 6 core 12 thread cpu vs the 6 core 6 thread intel cpu , there would be a decent uplift. Pending on what gpu you select also has a big impact on where your bottleneck will be. For 1080p you would be fine. 1440p will have an impact on fps. Personally I would steer you to go for a platform upgrade. 12600k would yield a 20% uplift alone. Save up and maybe go for both, gpu and cpu. Also take the used market into consideration.

@@tonypolitowicz8290 Thank you for a quick reply! A bit more info about my PC: it has 32gb of RAM and a lot of storage which I added to as years went on (2 M.2 SSDs, 2 sata SSDs and a 1 TB HDD). I never experiance much stutters besides on EfT which is quite unoptimised. I basicaly use it for gaming since I built it and I mostly play not super demanding games and older titles, for example: BG3, Persona titles, fps games like CS, Helldivers and strategy or military games like total war or Warno). Since I am in a smaller Europian country used market has redicilous prices for PC parts, so much so that sometimes there is only 2 ads for a PC part that are the same price as a newly released better part. So selling such old parts is a no go... I've had this PC for 6 years and it still does the job that I need it to (plays games without stutters and at a console level fps 😅), but I was thinking of upgrading the GPU atm to something that I would use for the next 4+ years if I am lucky, and buying a CPU and motherboard next year. Also since PC parts prices are quite different in my country on the new market what GPU would you reccomend (focusing only on performance) for 1440p right now and in the future or do you think I should stick to 1080p with my i5 9600k? Currently the 70s cards from Nvidia seem like a decent choice in my eyes. 😁

@@TheCROHELLBOY so many choices on gpu - 3060 12gb 7600xt 6750xt Used 2080 3070 on the used market 7700xt All depends on budget. Here in the states there are so many great cards used for a very reasonable price.

@@tonypolitowicz8290 I was mostly looking at the Rtx 40 series cards from retailers since the price is more reasonable. And for price something around 600-700€ (around 750$) if it can be used for more then 3 years atleast. But like I said I am more concerned with future performance then price atm.

@@TheCROHELLBOY with that budget lots of choices. 4070ti would be pretty solid.

@@davidroberts9099 I appreciate the feedback and I will make adjustments on my next video. Seriously thank you for the feedback.! My next video will be dropping most likely this weekend. Look for the changes and thank you for watching!!!

Same here, music is loud

Video is great

@@Alex-yk6he my new video is out and I made adjustments- thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching!

​​​@@tonypolitowicz8290Sweet setup 😊👌🏻 I'm sure you are aware and probably do some (if not all) of this. I recommend trying a low-pass filter for the music. Possibly EQ out some 3kHz in it too. Should make it less distracting while still being in the background. Personally, music isn't needed. Compressing the VO and possibly adding some light processing would also help keep it consistent. Some exciter of some kind to brighten it 5-15% could work too.

@@gelobongs well for a lot of hardcore enthusiasts 1500 dollars usd is a budget build. I agree that’s a fair amount of money. But the difference between a 750 dollar pc to a 1500 dollar pc is a huge performance difference and probably worth saving up a little more money to have the best possible performance experience without spending 3000 plus dollars. I have huge investment in my 2 main builds. Now with the used market being present saturated, there are some really good deals out there. Me personally, I typically buy all new hardware and tend to be on the flagship parts. 1500 is enough to build a very powerful pc.

@@gelobongs also thank you for the feedback!

Must suck to be that broke *laughs in rtx 4090*

@@devilshockwave23 let’s be nice 🤓 we all can’t have 4090s . I do but..

@@tonypolitowicz8290 that's fair. Lol

@@TheNoodleSaurus it’s a good card but the value is so so. The 4070 super is a very good value card. My advice will still be to hold tight. We don’t know what the mid tier 50 series cards will bring to the table. Then again if you find a great deal on the 4070ti jump on it and thank you for watching!

@@tonypolitowicz8290 thank you for the insight. My main issue with the mid 50 series is that they might not release in time, as I want to play on release (feb 28, 2025) I’ll try holding while keeping my eyes open for deals, maybe on black friday.

@@TheNoodleSaurus you can’t go wrong buying a 4070ti and the resale value will be high if you wanted to upgrade later.
