First build: consider the phanteks XT pro ultra case for about $70. Includes four 140mm rgb case fans. This saves $330 immediately. If you want the fish tank look there are cheaper options as well. $219 is a lot for the case when there is an nzxt h6 flow for $110/$135 with RGB fans. If the smaller ssd is your boot drive and the 4 tb is just a game drive, take a look at the Teamgroup mp34/mp44 and crucial p3 plus at ~$230.
Hey Paul, really appreciate your assessment with my build. Although initially it's meant for gaming, I do want to explore video editing as a general hobby, hence the 990. The 980 EVO seems like a great NVME for a secondary drive. I will certainly check out Tim's review on 4k OLEDS. The MSI one seems like a good deal for me and is within my budget. If you're interested, after I add case fans I can send you pics of the finished build. Going to measure out the fan locations this weekend and purchase them to install them next week.
I just love your honesty in your videos and your added sarcasm here and there :D Also your reasoning and motivation for your reasoning is very enlightening. Thanks for this video!
What would your suggestion be for upgrading an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (non x) at this point or should I wait? My thoughts had been something along the lines of a 7800X3d, something like a Gigabyte B650 UD AC or possibly a 650E or 670E board (I strongly want at least 3 M.2 slots) and 32GB of DDR5-6000 lowest cl that I could get in that range... I'm wavering on the 7800x3d since the price seems to have bumped from the $350 range to around $550. Thoughts/suggestions?
I caught a mad deal on "open box" floe ring 280 aio for $62!!! Came brand new still had the plastic wrap on the box Works great and comes with the rgb controller.
4070 super? With only 12gb of VRAM? Why? You can get a 7800xt with 16gb or a 7900xt with 20gb and that would handle they giant monitor way better than a 4070 super.
Or at least the 4070 Ti Super which is 16gb if you want to stick with Nvidia. It feels like 12gb cards will have a notably shorter life if you plan on using it for a long time.
The Ncase m2 can hold a full sized PSU. It wouldn't have been a great amount of savings but is one of the big pluses of that case it can hold those bigger psus depending on the layout you go with which could potentially save some money
Pccooler had a line of 120 and 140mm fans with ring LEDs called Corona. They look awesome, we're far cheaper than any big brand, and have been running problem-free in my last two builds for years. Sadly, I haven't been able to find the 140s for a while. Glad I bought extra when I could.
Thanks Paul! I really appreciate the info. You answered several of my questions in the video. Any advice for people who hold on to PC’s too long? Currently my newest PC is from 2014. Currently, I have two gaming PC’s and one PC for office work. I plan to build one new gaming PC and switch the other two to Linux Thanks!
I hate that Deep Cool is in the crap they are in right now. I got the DeepCool Liquid Cooler LT720 360 Rad for like $115 new and its one of the best coolers ive used in quite some time.
Good to see AIOs so inexpensive these days. Pretty sure I paid less than $100 for my Arctic Freezer II 280 and it is WAY overkill for my 5800X. Was thinking to upgrade CPU this round, but the uplift just doesn't justify the cost for me. Probably next year...
Well, the cheapest way I know of to keep up to date is to always be a year behind. I have a $4k build that was quite a splurge for the lack luster performance in my intended AI work loads. But, I do intend to keep the thing updated. Once we have better than a 13900k, I'll change MOBO and chip at that time. Once we have better than a 4090, I'll grab a 5090 or whatever they call it then. But the best way to buy today is always to buy the last gen hardware on sale! Anyone could build my system right now for less than I spent..... Some parts went up in price, like my RAM, SSD's and liquid cooled 4090, other parts went down like my MOBO and CPU. But I could still build the same basic system today for at least $500 less than I paid back then (9 months ago). Patience for those that have it, will often times be rewarded. Cheers 🍻
4090 was the same price from the time it was released to today. Its value would be best day 1, barring scalpers, since you'd use it for the longest period of time.
@@joeykeilholz925: Ummm, NO! Everything 4090 went up in cost and is still up in cost! I paid list for my: "MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDRR6X 384-Bit HDMI/DP Nvlink Torx Fan 5 Ada Lovelace Architecture Liquid Cool OC Graphics Card (RTX 4090 SUPRIM Liquid X 24G) " This thing is still well above what I paid brand new on amazon.
Copper Vs aluminium.... Hmm. Yes you can save money by, I dunno... Buying an air cooler. For me it's an air cooler or copper &/or brass rad and pump block combo (AIO). I'm not an AIO kinda guy. I figure, go custom loop I design or stick with air....
Ok i need to ask this Paul for some odd reason every gaming PC i see now a days is like 2 TB memory space SSD city Now i get that you want a focused fast small foundation for your Boot drive. But i got allot of games and games are just getting bigger. Whats the best way to keep my games and programs without sacrificing too much speed and the bank account.
I have a question for you. I'm planning on building my first pc after the 5090 comes out, but I'm wondering if I should wait until then to start looking for parts, or can we know now what will be compatible and start buying some parts now? Any ideas?
Hey I know i am super late but I have a ryzen 5 7600x paired with a rtx 4070 is this a good combo? I just wanna know before I build it and dedicate myself to the rest of the build. Thankyou
What resolution are you aiming for? How much is the 4070 that you're looking at? I'm seeing 4070 Supers for about the same price so that might be a better option. The rest of the build doesn't really depend on these parts though.
@Dexx1s nah, I have the parts already. I just haven't built it, yet I was asking if it is a fine enough combo to proceed with the build. Will I get any bottlenecks using a ryzen 5 7600x with a rtx 4070? I could just re sell the parts back if anything. 1080p gaming is fine but if I could squeeze some 1440p gaming out of this combo without any severe bottleneck I'll be ok
@@BshidoBanzai Forget the term "bottleneck" unless you're using a high end GPU with a bottom tier CPU for gaming. You're going to lose your mind otherwise. What you have there is fine. You should be able to get 1440P out of it. You can check out the video titled "RTX 4070 vs The Most Demanding Games at 1440p in 2024". That guy is literally running that hardware combo. The first game there is poor as he said, because of Ray Tracing. Anything with Ray Tracing with be relatively terrible. And the highest preset is usually not worth it in many games, but overall, you should be fine for 1440P. If you could get the Super, then that would give you some decent headroom.
Why buy a 1tb nvme ssd then buy a 4tb of the same nvme? I know 1 reason is the OS and storage are better off separated but I would just buy the 4tb and partition some 240gb's+- for the OS and make the 2nd partition as storage. Or if money allow I would buy something with more capacity like an 8tb. I know its just miniscule but loading 1 drive instead of 2 makes the loading micro snappier. Also put that DVD drive on a USB enclosure (plug in only when needed) for extra micro snappier system loading. The less peripherals the bios & OS has to initialize the quicker the PC is in my 30+ years PC experience.
People buy them for lots of different reasons. My last chip was on air, ran it that way for 10 years. I could hear the fans though, and wanted something quieter this time. Instead of having 2-3 separate case fans, some people will use the fans on the AIO. AIO's are smaller and lighter if you're building a mobile rig, or sff. Then there's me. I just wanted that sweet LCD screen on the nzxt kraken because my new rig is open air. 😂
Agreed. I also have a 7800x3d and recently upgraded my contraband deepcool AK 620 to the lian li Galahad 2 (it matched my fans! This is my first aesthetic build). There has been maybe 2 or 3 degrees difference in cooling, if that.
Are you serious? My 5700x3d has a dual tower AK620 that is among the best 120mm dual tower air coolers and yet the temperatures are ass.. it is running at 73C+ in a room at 25C in an Asus Ap201. If I go above the 4050mhz clock speed lock, it will go to 80C or more. That CPU cooler is already running at 100%. This is my gaming PC. My 7950x running with the 360mm kraken is running at 70% fan speed and it is below 70C always, at the same ambient. I could push 7950x beyond its 4.5ghz current clocks but.. diminishing returns.
@@MrTbone1113 Asus ap201, I mentioned it in my comment. My top intake fans are 2xNoctua 140mm fans. The GPU is the bottom intakes and PSU is the front intake n exhausts upwards. There is a fan at the bottom front that is blowing through GPU to the back of case. CPU exhaust is on the back
My AIO has a 6 year warranty. Thats plenty to get my money's worth.👍 Don't get me wrong, I like air cooling and I'm a huge proponent of it, but there are many other reasons besides cooling that people get an AIO.
The Thermaltake Core V1 is a really great, inexpensive Mini-ITX case around $50. It's suited more towards Air Cooling with a big 200mm fan in the front, two 80mm fans in the back and mesh holes all over. Takes a full size ATX PSU.
Strange, the 7800x3d is sold out at multiple retailers.. $400+ at Best Buy, did AMD not make enough chips thinking people would buy their 9000 series or something 😂
@@futuza I don't think anyone is questioning that fans are easy to replace. But for a good fan like a Noctua, that's $15 a piece. That's $45.00 to add to the cost. Some people will choose to spend that extra money initially and just get the better AIO.
@@DingleBerryschnapps exactly. If paying a premium I'll actually get something decent, so be it. Fans can be replace, but the bad plates and pumps from the super cheap AIOs can't be dealt with. There is no other solution than an AIO where I live even in mid-range CPUs because the place is SO hot. Air coolers simply cannot keep up because of the insane heat, they run loud and almost at 100% all the time, becoming inefficient. Sometimes my AIO fans and pump still ramp up to 100% doing simple tasks because it's just so hot. Living in a very hot place is truly a nightmare, I don't recommend.
Don't cheap out and buy the thermal right 360mm AIOs. The largest thermal right AIO seller, by volume in my city, has had several hundred pump failures across the range in less than 6 months. Even more beyond 6 months for a product that is recent in the market over here. Liquid freezer 3s have had no pump failures so far after 200+ sales over the past year and freezer 2 almost none, after several years of sales. I'm in Melbourne, Australia.
In defense of the Lian Li AIO in the first build, it matches the Infinity Fan aesthetic. It has an infinity mirror pump block cover and comes with Infinity Fans. At the same time, it's extremely funny that money is already burning a hole in their pocket for a 5000 series GPU. There hasn't even been a solid release date announced after Nvidia pushed back the original date due to issues they are having. Wait for reviews, bud. Not to mention that Nvidia will have no competition at the higher end for at least the next generation with AMD withdrawing at least x800 and x900 series GPUs. No competition means Nvidia will have free reign on pricing, and greedy is as greedy does.
@@commanderoof4578 Correct, and that's still the better buy. I only buy open box products. Open box prices can get close to used prices. Open box parts are barely used and in terms of computer hardware that's basically new, since modern hardware lasts forever.
All you have to do is focus on something interesting for ten years, and come back to gaming. And start making up what you have missed. That will save you a fortune, while potentially made you a fortune.
I want to go against the grain here. I've spent budget builds chasing frames with a subpar looking PC, always wanting more performance. But I've also built mid-grade stuff that -looks- really good, and I think having a visually pleasing PC is important. I look at it, I'm proud of what I built, it reflects my creativity and my mood. And then I play games with enough performance to just have fun and stop wishing I got more frames out of it.
A good case and fans will last you 2 to 3 builds. Trash fans wont make it. And why would you wanna stare at an ugly case for a decade? We’re not talking about cyber truck money between an ugly computer and an nice one
The best tip for saving money on a gaming pc is not buying it. How about waiting 1,2 or 3 years, specially now with manufacturers selling defective or underperforming pars at high prices, save you money.
@@ocelotxp What do you mean? Follow the tip and not buy it, wait the 3 years, and follow the tip again...not buying the PC. You'll be saving money infinitely XD

thta 2070 isnt worth more than 300 u.s, with all the other options available i cant see this as a viable option, 1,000 + good luck with that.
Just in time to teach PS5 Pro buyers that you can get more for $700.
You actually can’t. Jay did a video yesterday to prove it. You can build a PS5 killer for $500, but the Pro is more equivalent to an $800-$1,000 pc.
Unless 100% used parts NO YOU CANT!!
PS5 pro is about equivalent to a 7800XT but with raytracing about equivalent to what the 8800XT will have
@@commanderoof4578 no lower than a 6800XT for sure.
$860 with disc drive and first year of being able to play games online 😂
@@commanderoof4578 Correct, and that's still the better buy.
I only buy open box products. Open box prices can get close to used prices. Open box parts are barely used and in terms of computer hardware that's basically new, since modern hardware lasts forever.
I just want a pc MAX $1000 pure performance. If it looks like it's from '95, so be it,
Dude paid for Windows?!
This was a really bad build. The first one. 650 mobo, 4080 super would have been a better choice
Man I’m pissed I missed this again, I really wanted to see if Paul could cut down costs on my budget
No views in 45 seconds? But this is the good stuff!
All you have to do is focus on something interesting for ten years, and come back to gaming. And start making up what you have missed. That will save you a fortune, while potentially made you a fortune.
Huh?
MSI has a 2tb m.2 7k speed at 99 bucks. I picked up 2 of em
Where at? I am in the market for M.2s
Paying for Windows 11? (laughs in Linux) You couldn't pay me to use that spyware anymore! :D
good luck with customer service from Lian Li. WORSE than ASUS.
I want to go against the grain here. I've spent budget builds chasing frames with a subpar looking PC, always wanting more performance.
But I've also built mid-grade stuff that -looks- really good, and I think having a visually pleasing PC is important. I look at it, I'm proud of what I built, it reflects my creativity and my mood. And then I play games with enough performance to just have fun and stop wishing I got more frames out of it.
A good case and fans will last you 2 to 3 builds. Trash fans wont make it. And why would you wanna stare at an ugly case for a decade? We’re not talking about cyber truck money between an ugly computer and an nice one
You can have both if you're not stupid
That HYTE memester case from the first build has got to go.
Wanna save money on RGBling? Stop buying it
The Lian-Li platinum powersupply is nonsensical. Gold would've been good enough.
Ți pod this decade, want to save? Don't buy it.
You always pick ones built by idiots so it's real easy to do suggestions. I'd like to see actual advice from an expert about tough choices
The best tip for saving money on a gaming pc is not buying it. How about waiting 1,2 or 3 years, specially now with manufacturers selling defective or underperforming pars at high prices, save you money.
Lol… this is beyond silly
@@ocelotxp What do you mean? Follow the tip and not buy it, wait the 3 years, and follow the tip again...not buying the PC. You'll be saving money infinitely XD
The best way to save money on a gaming PC is to get a life.
My life is amazing.
What would I use to edit all the great footage I've captured from my amazing life?
