I just used the guidlines here to build a pc. I went with the i7 13700K, 128gb ram, a 1tb drive and two 2tb drives, the 3060ti gpu, a Noctua NH-U12A cooler, and a Phantek 500 case. the only issue I ran into was the motherboard which would not work with a 13th gen cpu without a bios reflash. This thing is an absolute beast, I can't beleive how much faster it is than my old pc. It's saving me a substantial amount of time processing raw files from my Canon R5. With 8% sales tax the total was $2400. Thanks
Thank you so much for these guides. There are tons of these out there for gamers but not for creators. Your videos are always well thought out and explained in a clear and descriptive manner. Excellent work! These are so helpful.
I appreciate that!
@@theTechNoticewhere do i find the torrent case? I cant find it in Hungary anywhere.
Fantastic video!! I’m really enjoying these videos honestly, keep up the great work! It’s been a few months since i made my current build, I upgraded everything except the gpu, decided to keep my evga 3080 mainly because I love evga and there aren’t any evga 4000 series gpus 😭
I love your channel. Your content is boss! I am finally about to build my pc so I opened my playlist searching for your 2022 build. I thought, let me search for Tech Notice 2023 build, just in case. Boom! Here it is! Thank you so much!
I was waiting for this video! 🙌🏽
Great as always! Thanks...
Excellent content as always!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Thanks for this as always
Thank you for the build list with the prices in the video and thanks for the parts list in the notes.
I’ve been waiting for this video. Thanks for laying out your recommendations so clearly. Note that since the video came out the 3060 ti price went up to $579 on Amazon.
Good to know!
The $1500 build is exactly right for my upgrade and it's very cool, I can't add anything,thank you
Hi sir, I really appreciated you updating this BB4B. I was wondering if you can also create an update BB4B for editing monitors.
Thanks!
You are the reason that i bought a Z690 Board instead of a Z790. thanks for your fantastic content. (by the way its a ProArt and i love it)
Great sir. Keep it up
"insane" very good, I love the chat. regards Tony from Australia
I love your channel so much man. It helps a lot. However, can you do a new video for this BBFB series after 6 months? The price of those PC parts has been updating a lot since then. Thanks
Thanks for making this! If you have open box items and microcenter, you should be able build (AMD 7900x, gigabyte 4080 OC, B650E-F, 32 gb 6000, 1000W PSU, 1TB 980, 4 TB western Mech drive, Fractal Torrent case) for about ~$2250. I wanted see if I got a good value, seems that i did.
Yippeee!! I was waiting for this video. I have a couple questions for you Tech Notice regarding the MB in one of your earlier videos you mentioned the ASUS ROG Strix Z690-A Gaming WiFi 6 D4. I'm curious what you feel the difference would be between it or the GIGABYTE Z690 AERO G DDR4. Which would you choose, and why?
Also in one of your past videos you mentioned the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.Black. Would this be a good upgrade cooler for this system with either CPU you mentioned?
Thank you so much for the awesome videos you create!! Your content is definitely top notch!
I’m having a real issue getting my hands on the Gigabyte Aero G Z690 DDR4. (Plenty of DDR5 versions about sadly) Can you please recommend the best substitute for around the same price? (especially now that we are into 2023)
TIA
THIS should be your number one video! I feel though $1500ish is the sweet spot for a gaming or creator PC!
Great information and presentation as usual. This is exactly the price range I'm looking at for a new productivity build, that may also be used for a little light gauge PCVR . Great timing. I've been narrowing down and this is pretty close to where I've been landing, but always love new perspectives.
I wish he'd offered a bit more specifics regarding what we'd experience as benefits from upgrading from a 3060 ti to the 4070 ti. Would it be mostly reduced render times? Or smoothness during editing? Or able to handle 6k - 8k video editing? I'm not likely to ever being working with video above 4k, so it would be helpful to know what specific areas would benefit from the upgrade to determine if it would justify the expense for my relative light video editing.
It would be faster GPU effects so if your 3060ti can't handle certain effects or colour grade and also faster export/rendering times for video editing. For 3d extremely quicker rendering performance. :)
Thanks for the great video! The two most expensive upgrades are the CPU (i5-13600K to i7-13700K) and GPU (3060Ti to 3070Ti). If you had to chose only one of these upgrades, which one would you recommend? I'm editing 1080p 60FPS footage (max. 3 parallel scenes without many effects) and I also want to game (very) non-competitively at 1440p @60FPS. I'm also looking into the 3070 as an option. Thanks a lot for the tips!
Thank you! Always so informative and meticulous! Would love to hear your thoughts on dual gpus. Is it even possible to make a build with two gpus now that that the cards are so fat!?
I'd go with single, or are you saying you need more than one RTX 4090?
@@theTechNotice I don’t think I would, but I have an existing 3080 ti. Just wondering if there’s a way to squeeze in both, for gpu rendering. But I think you’re right, I may just upgrade. Thanks!
@Teck Notice i play mostly games like Wow and Destiny2 and i love to make a video now and then but my 7 year old tower can't handle, i would love to keep it for at least more 3 years but not possible . My question is would a mini PC at 800$ from MinisForum be better in the long run or should i buy another tower at 1400$?
Awesome video! What do you think of the Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo for the 13600k?
Very good!
I need some advice. My buddy is looking to upgrade his system but doesn't want to build a while new system. His budget is around $1800 USD and his current specs are Not yet. At the office today.
Graphics card - Radeon RX 5700 8GB
GPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6C12T
Motherboard - Gigabyte B450 Gaming X
SSD - 1TB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe
RAM - G Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4 3000 MHz (64gb)
Cooler - an AIO but not sure which one
He started using more animation softwares and heavier after effects, so he'd like to just be able to handle more intense 4-5K editing and animation. So it doesn't stall or take forever to render.
Hi thanks for the run down on specs ... quick question how well does the thermal right cooler, cool the 13700k ? will it be able to keep its temp down under high work loads ?
Yeah :)
Thank you so much for these guides. This guide is the perfect resource for anyone looking for the best value for their money in a Creator PC
I have my list of parts now, just a wait for payday or two to complete. I've noticed your accent has signs of of the North of England, Yorkshire? Or Mancunian? trying to avoid the disco lights is my concern. Hate them. I need big storage and RAM and for Music memory ssd and m.2 are the go-to with DDR4 @ 128gb. Then to run De Vinci I need the speed too, no more rendering for a week to upload. I'm not going full force with the Graphics card just below the above are some very reasonable standard cards that's where I can save cash. I do appreciate these guides very much - hence the sub.
is the air cooler really good enough for this CPU?
Hey i have been following Tech Notice for a while and now i'm finally building a PC and needed some help. i was wondering if the MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi DDR4 support the Intel 13th gen 13700k? (since the performance of 13700k is better tha the 12900k and is priced better)
Is there a reliable resource that can tell people what upgrades are compatible with their current set up? I'm worried that I'll end up buying something that ends up being a total incompatible waste of money
Does the MSI MAG Z690 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 have igpu support/quick sync? I like the Aero G but looking for a black theme at a lower price than the ProArt. BTW- thx for vetting these builds, I used your links for most of the other parts and even got the Gigabyte 4070 ti for less than the Zotac version ($820 with Amazon instant coupon).
yes the igpu support with the cpu all K cpu models have the quicksync support. With that u can buy any motherboard and it will work.
@thetechnotice Thank you for the incredibly helpful video, I had been waiting for an updated PC build guide under this budget! A quick question, you posted a video on 1-click 6ghz for th 13700K with an GIGABYTE Z690 AERO D with DDR5, is the same hack applicable with the DDR4 version?
YES! All Z690 and z790 boards on Gigabyte have that.
@@theTechNotice Thank you!
Please do a video on $1500 (sleeper) build
Or
$1500 build without RGB or fancy aesthetic, just pure performance
I love your videos and builds but I have one main issue. You are often using the z690 earo g DDR4 motherboard which is next to impossible to get here in Europe. We are only able to get the z790 but that's a ddr5 motherboard. Can you please provide alternatives for Europeans 😴 or is the gaming x version an alternative because we can get that one?
I almost got the same configuration in my last month build for my self, I follow your advice using the i7 13700k, great cpu with a Msi mpg edge wifi ddr4, Nvidia 3060 ti( I was blessed getting it at Best Buy for $399.00) 128 gb FURY beast 3200mhz, Noctua Nh-D15, bunch of noctua fans, a Corsair rmx series rm1000x 1000w and a Phanteks ph-es614ptg just because I am from the old era and I love to have my dvd player ... ahhh also some Phanteks Rgb frames to light up the Noctuas... lol.... I love it but it is better build it your self, now days a rig like that cost a lot more if you pay for it, I think the only advantage between DIY pc builders and big companies is the Gpu are more cheap, like the 4090's besides that may be a smaller thing, thanks for your help, awesome videos.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
Im going for a similar build! nice
@@greatbigbeard Thanks brother, very smooth system super quiet, and powerful, this guy will last a few years. csr car
@@07Review only real change id make is maybe a 5070ti if it has a lot of Vram when if comes out. The 3060ti has a life limit sadly with its 8 gigs of vram.
@@greatbigbeard yeah.... I will upgrade my gpu in a few months, waiting for prices goes down.
What black motherboard can I use as an alternative? I want an all black build
Your videos have inspired me to build my first, but I have to say, I'm a but nervous. I'm not technical. I'll likely land somewhere between the BBFB and the Upgrade. For now, I just have two questions ... 1.) Will there be any compatibility issues with the i7 13700k CPU and the Gigabyte Z690 Aero G DDR4? and 2.) If I wanted to add RGB what components of the BBFB will need to be changed?
He mentioned in previous video that for 13gen intel CPU you have to upgrade a BIOS on Z690 motherboard. This MB have Q-flash so you can upgrade BIOS without installing CPU there.
Doesn't loading 4 sticks of ram cut the speed a lot?
When is the resolve benchmark coming?
Just a heads up for everyone considering a Samsung NVME drive. I would hold off on them for now. Both the 980 Pro and the 990 Pro have been having issues. The 980 Pro was being set to read only mode and could potentially brick your PC if it was the OS drive. The 990 Pro has being reporting massive health degradation in the amount of TBW despite not having the drives being used that much.
This is an issue on 980 with the 3B2QGXA7 firmware which was reporting drive integrity incorrectly. Anyone who gets a Samsung drive should install the Magician software and update the firmware to 4B2QGXA7 or 5B2QGXA7. These are not affected by the error and stop the problems from happening. Edited to correct the model of SSD.
The 980 pro issue were fixed, it was a certain version causing it. They release a new firmware update for 980. 990 idk yet
As the others have mentioned, the issue with the 980 Pro has been fixed, however the 990 Pro is still a no go for now.
@@jibreelhughes good to make people aware of the issues. 👍
If not the gigabyte motherboard: Msi z690p a decent choice? (I'm not a gigabyte fan)
I have a question . Can use the 280 mm version of arctic liquid freezer ii for this build?
Not sure about that air cooler on the I7 upgrade. Personally, I would go for a at least a 240 AIO especially considering how inexpensive they can be. The I7-13700 is a beastly powerful CPU and all that heat has to go somewhere.
Also going for the i7 while staying on DDR4 seem like a bit of a waste to me.
In reality reviews show that, especially that cooler does almost as good of a job as a noctua, and is totally fine for the i7, also for the i9 13900k
The Thermalright Peerless Assassin has a very high cooling capacity, even being capable of cooling the 13900K while losing just 2% compared to the best cooler.
yo,, and so i buy n built it,, but left out the video card until i felt a bit richer. BUT maybe this is why i can't get even a Bios screen,,, ahhhhhh ...switching it on for the first time using the mother board hdmi output (there's no vga) the CPU and RAM leds go on for a second or two intermittently but thats it,,, the other two leds stay off.... and no BIOS screen... in fact no signal getting through to the monitor even... I've been hunting around to see if this mother board NEEDS a video card, if that's a thing...? (i'm not a PC build virgin but I'm better with paint than puters!) THANKS FOR ANY HELF RESPONSE.... (& your output is smashin!) ...
Just some quick feedback... you could probably save a bit of money going with the I5 13400 rather than the 13600k
Can I put 13900 there and leave everything else the same as you suggested?
Is there any alternative to the mobo? Here in UE isn't as cheap and also availability is so so...
Opinion on the 13500 paired with a 4070 TI for a 1600 USD budget? Mostly for Blender/ 3D workflow.
👍
thanks
Your thoughts on 13700 and ARC 750 for 1080 creator box?? NO GAMING
Arc yes because of media engines and good price.
Intel absolutely with K model because of iGPU. Even more power and support for media engines.
I have the corsair 4000d airflow case im worried a 4070ti want fit in the case im thinking of upgrading to corsair 5000d
Intel arc any good for video editing?
Hi there, would you still recommend this build with the same parts with the current market?
noooo
Would it be as good as Mac Studio for 8k Raw video processing on DaVinci Resolve? If anyone kindly suggest would be a great help 🙏🏻
Hey jack can i upgrade cpu to ryzen 5 5600 and the gpu to rx 6750xt in 1500$ budget pc?

Nice build, I'm not sure about the gamer bling for a productivity build though.
Which bling do you have in mind?
@@theTechNotice Sorry, I just looked at the intro and assumed that was going to be the actual build.
never judge the book by its cover ;)
@@theTechNotice Haha, I'd agree if this wasn't TH-cam and a video - where it's all about the cover and the first few seconds. ;)
@@finestPlugins the cover could be clickbait you never know so its true about the cover or In the case thumbnail
Can I run multiple design softwares with this Rig ???
I game mostly but I do editing mostly my gaming videos or drone videos a another reason im here
I’ve built this exact setup only upgrading to the i7 from i5. Unfortunately I can’t get it to post. I’ve re-seated everything except the cpu, which I guess I need to look at next. But I don’t know what to do if I can’t get a post. Any help would be appreciated.
Update- Got it to post after flashing the BIOS and clearing CMOS
If I use free version of Davinci Resolve my understanding that it doesn't use external GPU. Would it be better to go for better processor like 13700k and use intel GPU that comes with the processor?
Two things, first DaVinci generally is more optimized to use GPU than CPU, try your best to go with the best GPU you can buy.
Second, if you are going to spend 1000USD + on building a PC, don't you think it's reasonable enough to spend additional 300USD once into Blackmagic Design to get Studio version and at the same time to support their effort on making the best NLE and Color grading software available to small creators?
@@JonathanSeni Yes you right and I am planning to upgrade to Studio version but I have budget constraint at the moment. I was told that free version is not using dedicated GPU - is this incorrect?
Will 13700k work with b660 or 760? I don't want to overclock and looking for a good budget motherboard which can handle the 13600k and 13700k. Which one is the best for them without dropping their performance?
Any b660 b760 board will do pretty much 99% of the cases, but you might need a BIOS update.
@@theTechNotice i don't know about vrm and much about that. Will a b660 capable of handling a 13700k or 13600k without dropping much performance.
I'll just blindly purchase it if you say it won't affect the performance of processor?
@@stubblestudios9446 It's a suboptimal pairing - the non-K variants get close enough in terms of performance and require much less power. K-SKUs on non Z790/Z690 boards are a waste of money IMHO, especially if you don't want to overclock anyway.
@@stubblestudios9446 Basically i b660 will handle but these motherboards.
Hey bruv. Could I switch out the Gigabyte Z690 for an MSI Z690 Tomahawk? Whats your take on that MB?
Yeah, sure. Abit less usb connectivity, but if you don't need that go for it!
@@theTechNotice thanks man! Keep up the great work.
If starting from scratch ( no monitor, windows , keyboard, mouse, etc...) can this be fully built for 2,000 ?
Yes if you go for the 1500 one and add monitor + keyboard & mouse
I like that you kept it DDR4. Us DDR5 users are still just guinea pigs.
Any chance we can get you to make a review of the Threadripper 5000 WX PRO series? Would like to know if it's still worth it over the 7000 series regular and X3D.
i don’t think 650W is enough power, but otherwise good video 👍
New Subscriber here! Very good detail on what components to choose from. I'm a Content Creator/Editor and would like to know your thoughts about my PC.
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
MOBO: MSI B450 Gaming Max Plus
GPU: MSI GTX 1070
PSU: Thermaltake GF1 650 Gold
RAM: 32GB TeamGroup 3200mhz CL16
SSD: Samsung EVO 860
I'm using Adobe Products like PR and AE in editing. I need a GPU enough for 4k output. Atleast fast enough to render.
Now I'm planning to upgrade my GPU on what you recommended on this video as the 3060Ti since my GTX 1070 is almost retiring and have some minor glitches but still bearable, would the 3060Ti GPU be a good match on to my system? Or is it just to over kill? Or should I just go above like the 3070?
every PC I build seems to cost over $3K (that's even without the additional 10% sales tax). The i9-12900 system I built last year was more like $4K. Component prices have reduced a lot since then (except GPUs of course), which is kind of annoying: everything else is going up so I bought early only to regret pulling the trigger too soon. The DDR5 RAM is less than half the price now ($600 for 64GB DDR5-5200 in March 2022!) New machine is a 7950X In a Fractal Torrent case (compact)
Does the K option offer any benefits on an Intel CPU if I am sure I will never overclock?
I assume you are comparing 13600K to 13500 as the i7 and i9 chips don't have non-K versions. 13600K has a higher base clock, more cache, and allows undervolting. In the US, there isn't much price difference between the two chips and compatible motherboards. I went with the 13600K for it's better performance for content creation. For gaming, it probably won't matter unless you're spending $1000+ on a graphics card.
Not a good recommendation. Goes much better here

The problem with these things is that you always get the itch to upgrade everytime a new gen stuff comes out with 15%+ improvement. Now I have 4 desktops, 3 personal laptops, 5 work laptops, 7 monitors at home. All top slow compared with what' available now for $500-$1000.
Will not buy anything from CCL. Checked them out on FB. Did not bother to answer me! Then I saw all the complaints about service that sucks, and no backup service at all! It was complaint after complaint. So I would rather stay away from them.
Do i really need to buy such a expensive motherboard on a budget i mean holy crap pricey.
Is there really no cheaper stable options for intel?
I'm thinking of an 7900x build perhaps instead. with "MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI"
it is a stable motherboard what i heard for almost $200 less, would that not work out?

All of that and not testing itm wow 😂😂
Which Motherboard, RAM combo is the SWEET SPOT ?……..if the i5-13600k is the SWEET SPOT ?
