So, for the data hoarder. Spend like 150-200 bucks on a good, efficient old office pc (can be bought on ebay or amazon or local resellers/ marketplaces) with enough room for a couple of big spinning rust drives and a few m.2. I did this with an HP Elitedesk 800 G4 that has an i7-8700, 32gb of ram and spent $380 on two refurbed 18tb HDDs and $160 on a 4tb sata ssd. So I can have that always on and it uses a lot less power.

Hi Jason, You still haven't answered my 'Previous Questions' re: My 'Planned Upgrades/Swaps! That's OK, because now there's a Part 3! Starting with 'Gaming PC #1': B450 Gigabyte AORUS Elite V.2/w a Ryzen 5 5600X, this Upgrade is approx. 3/4 Complete. 1st: I upgraded the PSU to a Gigabyte 750 Watt model. Next I upgraded the Ram from 16 Gigs to 32 Gigs. Then, I upgraded the GPU from an AMD RX6600XT to an AMD RX7600XT(Probably a Bad Choice Here) Should've held out for an RX7800XT?? The Last Phase of this Upgrade will be to Upgrade the CPU from the Ryzen 5 5600X to a Ryzen 7 5700X 3D. Onto 'Gaming PC #2' MSI B550 Gaming Gen 3 Motherboard/w a Ryzen 5 5600 32 Gigs of Ram & an AMD RX6600. The Plan here is to Replace both the CPU & GPU with the 'Old Parts' from Gaming PC #1: Ryzen 5600 upgraded to Ryzen 5600X & RX6600 upgraded to an RX6600XT. (Can I expect even a little performance boost with these changes?) Current PSU is only 550 Watts, so I'll have to Upgrade to a 750 Watt Minimum before the next GPU Upgrade. And Finally onto Part 3. 'Multimedia PC' B450 ASUS Prime B450M-A II/w 16 Gigs of DDR4 Ram & an AMD Ryzen 5600G, I'm going to Replace that CPU with the Ryzen 5 5600 from 'Gaming PC' #2. The GPU in this PC is an ASUS RXT 2060 Super, I think? But It's just fine for listening to Music & Watch Blu Ray Movies on my 40" TV/Monitor. Sorry, about the Length of this.
My PC is working too well .. 5900X/32GB RAM/7900XTX, Ultrawide 1440p, everything plays well, that prevents me from upgrading ! Will wait for the 9800X3D and the 5090 I think :)
When I first got started in PC building, I had no idea what was wrong with the lists on "Boost My build." Now, almost a year later, I have the same reaction as yours lol.
I was the same. Of course I started out with a kit build from the local shop. This was a 486/DX2. By the time of the very first GeForce I had a clue. IIRC the first consumer card with FPU in it, had an early pixel shader and even had S3TC.

@gwfire4233 you're gonna want to figure out what resources your applications use. Do they have hardware acceleration? Is everything run through the processor.
Boost this build: 4090 Ti Super R5 1600 2GB DDR3 An old Adidas shoebox from the 90s Hot glue gun Clearance Christmas lights from Target (rainbow colors)
You need at least a 720mm AIO to cool that beast. Adidas Shoebox is OP though, clearly carrying the build. (For those who do not understand this is a joke post).
What amazes me is folks who want to pay $100 for a MSFT windows key when you have them at $16. These 2 builds were really interesting and I always learn something. Running across your channel was the best thing to happen to me in computer building. Thx Jason regards to Sarah & the Kitties
Agreed! People are going to do what they like of course but I want them to at least know they have the option. And thank you! So glad you enjoyed. The kitties and Sarah appreciate it!
Alright that $4000 dollar build made me mad. He obviously did zero research judging by the 60HZ monitor. Even if you know nothing about computers, 10 hours of research would have prevented that and some other things. Just the lack of effort from him is insane. 😡
I so wish I found your channel before I built my PC. After watching, I realized I spent 2300 for a PC, probably only worth 1600-1800; I have found where I tried to "save money" and ended up kicking me in the butt now. Now, I have to spend another 1k to upgrade my screw-ups. Thanks for teaching us
Hey Jason. I just wanted to thank you for all the information you provided on boost my build. Thanks to you I was able to build a high end PC with a ryzen 7 7800x3d, and sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx for right around $2000 US dollars. And then was able to set up the system perfectly using your after build guide. You are a legend, I can't thank you enough!
Hi Jason! Thanks for all the content, very informative and non-biased. I'm still rocking the recommended 13600k build you made in 2022, and it's killing it in 1440p! You're the real MVP.
God damn it Jason, since the first time I saw your video that talk about CPU/GPU combo advice? and I became addicted to this channel. Also, because of you, it was the first time to know about the RAM and the CL with the speeds and "ns". I figured out that I made a couple of mistakes, my CPU is i7 13th kf, and the MB is B760 which doesn't support to OC the CPU. Also my RAMs is just what mentioned in this video, I have 16 GB 5200 Mhz CL 40 (Vengence manufacturer). Please, keep up the mastery work, I like your way of talking, presenting and your enthusiasm, you just a whole package in the world of technology, thank you Jason.

Love your videos. Bemusedly watching this one on my current PC which still uses the Fractal Define case and Noctua NH-D15 cooler retained from my 2016 build. They weren't broke, so I didn't fix 'em! 🐻
All my parts are showing up tomorrow!!! Pretty much nailed my build on the first build of this video! With your help of course from one of your last videos.. Thank you Jason for all the help man you made this a lot easier!!!(Amd 7900xt /Ryzen 7 7800x3d
@@PCBuilderChannel#update , PC is running amazing still, high 190 fps 4k max setting in helldivers , couldn't be happier !! Subbed to your channel today !
I just did a "build" recently. Kept my Antec 900 case, Corsair 850w psu, ryzen 5600, ddr 3600 cl16 ram, used vega 56 😂. The ram was used too. Bought a nice phantom spirit cooler though. That was new😅
Some of these builds should use the ASUS 7800 xt oc 16gb card which was selling for $500 and competes with the 4070 to save money. Using this card would have saved this guy $340+tax and the performance difference would have been negligible.
One problem with the ripjaws is the Samsung die has had a high failure rate. I have had more than 10 sets returned across multiple name brands where Hynix has been very reliable.
I COMPLETELY disagree with you on the point that 32GB is enough, I have 32GB and all the time I will hit the software usage limit with having things still open in the background or on one of my other monitors while gaming. In a Godzilla build you should Absolutely have 64+ GB of RAM
Jason, for 2000 dollar gaming PC builds at 4k I think you should be trying to get people a 7900xtx or a 4080 super (if the 4080 super is between 999 and 1030).Becuase 4k needs less of a CPU load, you can get away with something like a 7600x, 7700, or 14400f at that resolution. I have a 7600x and 7900xtx for 4k gaming and it works well. I assembled that pc for 1,970 dollars with the 100 dolllar windows license, so just a little tip for you (if you feel like you need a tip)
Solid option! I was sticking to higher core counts due to what the builder said they wanted it for but especially for a pure gaming build that’s a valid option too
Hey Jason, I noticed you kept saying that the second guy did not need 64 gigs of ram. I’m a graphic designer and I frequently see Photoshop using over 100 GB of my ram (I have 128 gigs) when I’m on large documents (15,000 x 20,000 pixels or more). I agree 64 gigs is overkill for most people but Photoshop is a ram hog. If this guy uses that, maybe that’s why he wanted so much ram.
If he had said professional level production build I would have gone with a lot of different recommendations for sure. But I have to go with what they say they want in their post
I’ll be honest, I did the same thing with the weak gpu thing on my $2400 pc build lol, but I really didn’t want to upgrade to a 4070 ti super for 200 dollars extra for basically going from a 4070 ti to 4070 ti super. I’d rather get the cheaper gpu and save for next gen because it’s pretty dumb how that is 200 dollars more for a ti upgrade basically because the 4070 super is about the same performance as 4070 ti
I’m playing RDR2 at 1440p ultra with a 4090 right now because my 4K mini led is broken (cooler master has ghosted me in the RMA process) and it’s awesome. I might be ruining myself with high frame rate gameplay.
@@MrAnimescrazy 13900k with 64 gb of 6000mhz ddr5 ram. I’m playing with DLSS on quality and getting 120-160 fps depending on the situation but I capped it at 140 because the monitor is only 144hz.
I was getting depressed over the cost of SSDs, but then stumbled across a 2tb Samsung 990 Pro at Staples for $120. Walmart is also clearancing out sub-1TB sata and nvme WD Blue and WD Black drives for dirt cheap in a lot of stores. It pays to poke around locally.
Hi Jason. Ragu here from Uk. Big fan of your videos. I’m looking to build my first gaming pc for my son. I’ve chosen the 7800x3d and 7900gre. I’m torn between msi mag b650 tomahawk WiFi and ASU’s strip b650 E-F. Any advice on which one to go for. Much appreciated. The ASU’s is £20 more
Either motherboard is totally fine. I've used both, and currently have the Strix B650E-F in my personal rig. Strix board is a little more premium, but they are both very close.
You could still have gotten the Arctic Liquid Freezer III A-RGB in white for under $100 for the build and saved about $70 more - and gotten a fantastic cooler
Always love your videos - thanks! Just updated my system with an RX 6650 XT 8GB, 12TB SATA 7200 256 storage, 4TB SSD. game launch... bolted onto a B450, 5600X, 2TB Nvme, 32GB DDR4. Pretty sure the PSU is a 650 80+ Corsair (cant be bothered to open it to find out). Basically a rock solid mid unit - very happy with it, for the cost. It also has 72TB external drives. 32" 4k monitor, 22" touchscreen monitor, 22" 1080p monitor. In fairness, I usually only use the 32" - the others are off - but available if I want them. I know - my little system is basically crap compared to your daily build - but for me - 5600X, 32GB DDR4, RX 6650 XT, 2TB Nvme..... colour me a very happy bunny! The B450 mobo - yeah - that probably needs updating - but its holding its own for now....
I think you should reconsider your stance against gen4 SSDs. A silicon power UD90 is the same price as the mp33 for something like 125% of the throughput. And while it's true that won't get you more FPS, it does reduce load times perceptibly, and those are actually an annoyance in gaming! Like... it's the same price. Why stick with gen 3? And for people doing expensive builds, the sk hynix p41 platinum 2tb is $140 right now. You don't think it's worth $35 to cut 15-20% off every single load time in a premium gaming computer? Just my feedback, and I refer to your builds a lot for ideas at different budget levels! I just think specifically for storage you may be neglecting to consider load times as "performance" and unnecessarily leaving some out.
From my perspective, I will only recommend Gigabyte’s AM5 motherboards (e.g. B650M/X670 Aorus Elite AX), MSI and ASUS did not put a lots of effort on designing AM5 mobos. Also, I will never recommend a B650 ATX board, the MATX board has already fully utilized all lanes that Prom21 (B650 Chipset), if intends to choose 7:387:38 ATX board, then head into X670. Meanwhile, For the case, I will recommend Lianli L216 Mesh ver., which has a mesh panel and comes w/ 2 x 16cm intake fans, also ~$100. For the PSU, I will run for 850W instead of 1000W, totally overkill for 78X3D + 4070 Ti Super (should be in total 400W) Finally, for ssd, stick to those with DRAM if you want to use it as OS drive. Usually I will buy that drives that manufactured by the companies that also produce the NAND(Kioxia[Toshiba] , Western Digital, Samsung, SK Hynix,etcs). For high-end ssds, since Samsung 990 pro has the 0e issue, and SK Hynix P41 has the pSLC bug, sticks to WD SN850X.
My build is so out of wack. I bought the 7800x3D when it came out intending to build then, but life happened so some parts are way more expensive than they are now. Luckily motherboards, and GPU's have gone down, and that's pretty much all I had left. Still could have saved about $200, but it is what it is.
@@PCBuilderChannelASRock B650M Pro RS $135. xfx 7900 xt $720.60. I just need to pick a 850w psu cause I'm not comfortable with my 7 year old 750w EVGA psu.
I was gunna say, ryzen for gaming is where it's at. I just bought a 4070ti super, so yeah it's a stud! Wish i had gone 7800x3d instead of 12700k, but i could do 4k pretty well. Haven't tried it yet but will soon.
Without your content among a couple of others, got me a great pc. I'm so glad i found your channel. Still can't believe I got a i7 12700k for 250.00, still hasn't hit that price again.
@@binks_jim I think the 12700k is kind of a bad deal at this point. At 250, or in a bundle or something, that makes sense. But when I was shopping it was more than a 14600k, that clearly outperforms it. I got a 14600k w mobo and 32gb of ddr5 (cl36, but this guy REALLY exaggerates ram speed...also, you can tweak it and gain performance back) for like 545 or something. I was gonna grab the 13600k, but the 14600k was literally 3 dollars more or something. *shrugs*
@firghteningtruth7173 I agree, for a first time build though, and on a tight budget in August I got it for 250. Not too terrible. I've never ran an aio, however if I can get a 13700k at or below 250 I might consider it. How ever the thermalright phantom spirit with 2 120 fans holds Temps just fine on 12700k.
@@binks_jim I think you can actually cool a 13700k on air with a good cooler with as good or only a slight dip in performance from an AIO. I mean, I grabbed a lil AIO for my 14600 and it keeps it frosty. But I have seen comparisons between an AIO and air coolers, and a few of them were RIGHT there with the aio.
Thank you for the video, I too am trying to build around a $2K gaming machine and used this video to make the best choices to max out my budget with the best parts!
The RX 7800 XT is all that you need for great quality-of-life 1440p gaming. Going higher than that for 1440p is more about the benchmarking e-sport side of things.
Love your videos! I had a gtx1080 and recently replaced it with an RX6900XT for $400. I think I need to upgrade everything else. My COU is a ryzen 7 2700X. I’m assuming that is bottlenecking the GPU.
You absolutely can build a fully operational PC w/o a case. It is arguably the least essential component. Every time I do a new build, I first build it outside the case and do all the testing. Then I reassemble it inside the case. I once ran my main gaming PC with all the parts laid out on a big sheet of cardboard for several months waiting for a good price on the case I wanted. No doubt thousands of PC builders have done this. Might not be the best plan if you have children or cats in your home.
My morning has been boosted. No case, retail OS license... and these are the pluses of the build 😂. Edit: I think 850w, A tier psu is enough for a 14900k and 4070S... it's what I have for my 13600k overclocked and 7900xtx
850w is enough but longevity is a huge factor. It is quite stressful to the psu to run it at a high % of total usage and also less efficient. Most are in best use case and efficiency between 30-60% usage and will last the longest at these and lower
@@sparklingion So... I keep thinking 14900k is close to the 13600k but I looked at the charts and yeah, no... even the 4070S drop does balance it out. I'm probably wrong and it's on the fence at best and we don't build with on the fence part for $2000 builds. Yeah, get a 1000w.
@@SpoonHurler always best to be safe when building 💪 I would rather someone waste some money on getting a better psu they don’t or may not ever fully need than anything else tbh
@@sparklingion A 14900K is a bit under 300W under full load (which to be fair is massive) and a 4070 Super is around 220W under full load. 100% system load with the rest of the components included would be around 600W total or 70% of an 850W PSU. Since when you're gaming you're basically never at both 100% CPU and 100% GPU load 850W would not only be enough but also fall in to that 30%-60% load sweet spot when gaming. I'm all for quality PSUs but it gets my goat when people are told they absolutely *need* a ridiculously high wattage PSU when the math doesn't support it.
850 Watt power supply is plenty of power for the first original setup. All the power supply calculators online range between 650 and 750 for this build. 650 seems low but 850 is certainly enough power. I may revisit this if he ends up with an o11 dynamic or hyte y70 touch with 46 RGB fans and an LCD but i don't see that at his budget. 1000w would run a 4090 without issue. 1200W for this build is completely overkill.
Jason your videos are very helpful ... I used to be in computer science and build my pcs all by myself ... but watching your videos are so much fun ... Question ... where are you located ? are you ever building PC's for people and tuning them ? please let me know and I would be interested to make a new PC for myself when the RTX 5090 comes on board
Thank you for the great feedback! So glad you are enjoying. I don’t do custom builds sorry, but the goal of the channel is to give you the tools to build your own, know what you need if someone else is building, or get an awesome prebuilt. So hopefully we can help you get ready for that 5090 when it comes (:
Hey Jason I'm from India Graphic Card prices are just insanely weird here, but my budget is approx $300 and I have options such as : RX6600 8Gb & RTX 3060 12Gb Which one should I choose and is the 8gb Vram enough my usage includes gaming at 1080p and video editing might want to shift to 1440p gaming in future
Hi, Jason Nice video as always. what do you think about the Lianli 216 and what do you think about this statement "the H6 case made the rest OF THE H9 cases obsolete"?
Having recently built my own build after carefully and painstakingly picking the parts I needed for my build… I too make the reactions you do when looking at these part picker lists… I only started getting into PC components etc around July last year and now I can’t unsee other people’s mistakes… I really can’t tell if some of these people are trolling so you will show case their terrible build or not 🤣
@@PCBuilderChannel thank you Jason, I ended up going for a Ryzen 5 7600 and a Sapphire Pulse 7800XT… couldn’t justify spending the extra £300 to go to the 4070Ti Super, but I was happy with my choice, I’ve been gaming on an ACER Nitro 5 laptop for 4 and a half years nearly with an i7-9750h and a 1660Ti mobile GPU with a 60Hz refresh rate… literally got a beautiful MSI Optix 27” 1500R curved monitor with 170Hz refresh rate and 1440p… the difference is night and day in terms of performance… hopefully my viewers will appreciate the upgrade in the quality in my streams… may end up going to a Ryzen 7 eventually, but we’ll see what the 6 core can do… the way I look at it, anything I build was going to be an upgrade over the Nitro 5 laptop. Thank you for your amazing channel for giving me the knowledge I needed to build my very first PC, I have such admiration for all that you do my friend ❤️
I've been using the 13600kf in my mid tier budget builds, and have one in my current backup PC. For the price/performance it's really hard to beat and it's an excellent chip if you don't mind a little extra power draw. It'll push any GPU on the market too.
I have 12gb of storage on mine with pics games all backed up with backups; but I have brought NVME's 3.0, 2tbs 2tb HDDs, and 1 tb SDDs from previous builds to this one.
@PCBuilderChannel : In my opinion you can't have "to much" storage-space in your PC. 😁 I use 10TB as NVMe and 62TB as HDD in my PC. Only in the last view days I added round about 3TB data on my PC. You know the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG OC based on a different PCB? Its based on a modded 3090 PCB and use the 3090 cooler. Thats why it is maybe the smallest 4090 on the market. 326mm length against 348mm of the original ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC. My System: i5 13600k MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL32 be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 1000W ATX 3.0 TR PA 120 SE Phanteks Enthoo Pro (Not the nicest and newest, but a lot of space, also for 6 HDDs) 5x Arctic P14 A lot of NVMe SSD and SATA HDD 😅 (My old) ASUS TUF Gaming 3060Ti OC (The only thing, that I will change. But maybe I'm waiting for the 5090 or buy than a cheaper used 4090)
I finally got the 4070 ti super 16 gb (Zotac white), paired with my i7 12700 cpu running on an MSI 690 WIFI board, and have had great performance through all of my games - mostly first person shooters like COD and Battlefield. All settings run on ultra, and my monitor is an ultra wide 49 inch Samsung C49RG90. Frame rates average in the 140 fps and often topping 200 on certain scenes. Cinematics go way hi in fps, but I think those are likely running at 1080p or less. The GPU runs at about 70 c when in-game, and remains steady between 65 & 70 c throughout hours of play, so it handles heat saturation well. I upgraded from a 3070 ti oc at 8 gb - which could never handle more intense games at ultra settings due to the limited memory capacity. The upgrade to the 16 gb 4070 super cost about $100 more than the 3070 I was stuck buying a year ago, but coming from that experience I'm absolutely satisfied!
It's slow but not unusable if you have no other options. You'll lose 5-ish percent fps and ram is a very easy upgrade later when prices become sane in your region cause they will.
My best friend is a 3D animator and his PC has 64 GB of RAM in it. Big difference in rendering from 32GB. One of his co-workers actually has 128 GB of RAM in their build. From my experience, Seagate hard drives are stupid slow and tend to fail a lot. I'm hoping to finish my upgrade today. Ordered a 7800XT and should be in today. I considered the 7900 GRE, but since I'm up against a 5800X3D, I'd be hitting that wall in terms of performance.
Oh yes if this was actually for a professional production build I’d be making a bunch of different recommendations for sure. Hope your PC comes together great! Keep us posted
I really wouldn’t go 14900K personally, and definitely not with that GPU. If this is a gaming focused build go 7800X3D (we have a great sample build for that in our Best Builds February video) and if production focused go 14700k.
This is what I was waiting for! A recap of all the information from the past years! Ty ty ty ( Thank goodness you helped the first build! That was very poorly optimized)
The first build was solid but the white theme kinda killed performance for me. I just put together a build with a 7800x3d and a 4080 super for a little over $1,900. (Just checked 1,902 to be exact).
Hey Jason don't know if you'll see this but I just wanted to say how helpful your videos have been to me, you always explain things in great detail appreciate you man
While I agree noctua asks a lot for the metal on their CPU coolers, one thing I (re)discovered recently is how superior (or inferior in that case?) the noise profile of their fans is compared to most other things on the market. And this isn't about decibels so very hard to judge from a review. I got a case with fans for my current build that every review about it said were decent fans but for me they just made my ears bleed even at 10% speed. Swapped them for noctuas and I can run them at 1250rpm (low speed version of the NF-A12x25) put my ear next to them, and I can't hear them at all.
On that first build you might even be able to squeeze in a 4090 at 2200$. Yes it sounds crazy but with an r5 5600x don't lose many, if at all any, frames at 4k. It's pretty much always a gpu bottleneck. Some good ram (32gb 4400mhz cl19) and you have a really good system for 4k gaming. Made the build, math checks out.

'Multimedia PC' B450 ASUS Prime B450M-A II/w 16 Gigs of DDR4 Ram & an AMD Ryzen 5600G, I'm going to Replace that CPU with the Ryzen 5 5600 from 'Gaming PC' #2. The GPU in this PC is an ASUS RXT 2060 Super, I think? But It's just fine for listening to Music & Watch Blu Ray Movies on my 40" TV/Monitor. Sorry, about the Length of this.
My PC is working too well .. 5900X/32GB RAM/7900XTX, Ultrawide 1440p, everything plays well, that prevents me from upgrading !
Will wait for the 9800X3D and the 5090 I think :)
When I first got started in PC building, I had no idea what was wrong with the lists on "Boost My build." Now, almost a year later, I have the same reaction as yours lol.
Haha you can never go back!
Do you also have a cat?
I was the same.
Of course I started out with a kit build from the local shop. This was a 486/DX2.
By the time of the very first GeForce I had a clue. IIRC the first consumer card with FPU in it, had an early pixel shader and even had S3TC.
@@jamegumb7298 translation plz 😅
Same for me here. Love that 😂👍
You’re teaching so many people on how to build and save at the same time. Hero status, thank you.
Thank you!! Saving PC Builders one at a time is our mission!
This channel gets me through the hardware release voids. Thank you guys.
Haha, we are here to soothe your withdrawals. ;)

@gwfire4233 you're gonna want to figure out what resources your applications use. Do they have hardware acceleration? Is everything run through the processor.
Boost this build:

with a 420x69mm AIO I imagine 😂
@@SpoonHurler the only reasonable solution… unless I upgrade to a tank of liquid nitrogen.
😄😄😄
You need at least a 720mm AIO to cool that beast. Adidas Shoebox is OP though, clearly carrying the build. (For those who do not understand this is a joke post).
can the r5 1600 even support ddr3?
What amazes me is folks who want to pay $100 for a MSFT windows key when you have them at $16. These 2 builds were really interesting and I always learn something. Running across your channel was the best thing to happen to me in computer building. Thx Jason regards to Sarah & the Kitties

As a linux user, lol
In the Netherlands I bought a Windows 11 pro key yesterday for 6.06 eur.
Alright that $4000 dollar build made me mad. He obviously did zero research judging by the 60HZ monitor. Even if you know nothing about computers, 10 hours of research would have prevented that and some other things. Just the lack of effort from him is insane. 😡
Watching a TH-cam video on what monitor to buy would explain that lol.
daddy’s money so they probably picked what their favourite minecraft youtuber has lol
Did anyone else realize that the $4500 build had a 13900-k and a 4090 with a 60hz monitor......
I so wish I found your channel before I built my PC. After watching, I realized I spent 2300 for a PC, probably only worth 1600-1800; I have found where I tried to "save money" and ended up kicking me in the butt now. Now, I have to spend another 1k to upgrade my screw-ups. Thanks for teaching us
It's very easy to overspend so don't beat yourself up! Glad you've found us and that we an help in the future (:
Hey Jason. I just wanted to thank you for all the information you provided on boost my build. Thanks to you I was able to build a high end PC with a ryzen 7 7800x3d, and sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx for right around $2000 US dollars. And then was able to set up the system perfectly using your after build guide. You are a legend, I can't thank you enough!
I saw your comment elsewhere too, this is so cool! Congrats on your awesome build and thanks for letting us know we helped. It means a lot
Hi Jason! Thanks for all the content, very informative and non-biased.
I'm still rocking the recommended 13600k build you made in 2022, and it's killing it in 1440p! You're the real MVP.
That's so cool! Glad we could help and thanks for letting me know
HAPPY SATURDAY!
Happy Saturday!!!! :) 🥇
This youtube channel is a Must Watch for all out there who want to build a PC! 👏
Thank you! :)
Absolutely 💯
God damn it Jason, since the first time I saw your video that talk about CPU/GPU combo advice? and I became addicted to this channel. Also, because of you, it was the first time to know about the RAM and the CL with the speeds and "ns".
I figured out that I made a couple of mistakes, my CPU is i7 13th kf, and the MB is B760 which doesn't support to OC the CPU. Also my RAMs is just what mentioned in this video, I have 16 GB 5200 Mhz CL 40 (Vengence manufacturer).
Please, keep up the mastery work, I like your way of talking, presenting and your enthusiasm, you just a whole package in the world of technology, thank you Jason.
Haha! So glad you found us and are still enjoying the content. Glad we could help!
Loving this post schedule, first time I’ve been early to anything 😂. Great video, sir!

Hey thank you! I appreciate that. Hope you keep enjoying the content
Love your videos. Bemusedly watching this one on my current PC which still uses the Fractal Define case and Noctua NH-D15 cooler retained from my 2016 build. They weren't broke, so I didn't fix 'em! 🐻
Nice!
All my parts are showing up tomorrow!!! Pretty much nailed my build on the first build of this video! With your help of course from one of your last videos..
Thank you Jason for all the help man you made this a lot easier!!!(Amd 7900xt /Ryzen 7 7800x3d
Fantastic! Hope it went well!
@@PCBuilderChannel#update , PC is running amazing still, high 190 fps 4k max setting in helldivers , couldn't be happier !! Subbed to your channel today !
For the second build, why the H9 Flow instead of the H6 Flow? Both have similar performance and looks, but the H6 Flow is cheaper.
Could certainly do that as well. They seemed like they wanted something super premium so I went H9.
Best tech on the tube
Thank you Jason! :)
I just did a "build" recently.
Kept my Antec 900 case, Corsair 850w psu, ryzen 5600, ddr 3600 cl16 ram, used vega 56 😂.
The ram was used too. Bought a nice phantom spirit cooler though. That was new😅
Some of these builds should use the ASUS 7800 xt oc 16gb card which was selling for $500 and competes with the 4070 to save money. Using this card would have saved this guy $340+tax and the performance difference would have been negligible.
One problem with the ripjaws is the Samsung die has had a high failure rate. I have had more than 10 sets returned across multiple name brands where Hynix has been very reliable.
Very creative picks for these builds! Love how you kept their goals in mind
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching

no RGB in the godzilla PC, thank god, someone has sense, finally
And remember you can always turn it off if you’re having trouble finding no RGB parts
@@PCBuilderChannel if you spend extra money to buy a unnecessary feature but to turn it off later. Wouldn't it be counterintuitive?
I COMPLETELY disagree with you on the point that 32GB is enough, I have 32GB and all the time I will hit the software usage limit with having things still open in the background or on one of my other monitors while gaming. In a Godzilla build you should Absolutely have 64+ GB of RAM
Your 2nd build just makes 10x the sense... awesome video as always.
Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching
Both of these builds were just absolutely nuts
Love the series!
So glad! Hope you keep enjoying (:
Jason, for 2000 dollar gaming PC builds at 4k I think you should be trying to get people a 7900xtx or a 4080 super (if the 4080 super is between 999 and 1030).Becuase 4k needs less of a CPU load, you can get away with something like a 7600x, 7700, or 14400f at that resolution. I have a 7600x and 7900xtx for 4k gaming and it works well. I assembled that pc for 1,970 dollars with the 100 dolllar windows license, so just a little tip for you (if you feel like you need a tip)
Solid option! I was sticking to higher core counts due to what the builder said they wanted it for but especially for a pure gaming build that’s a valid option too
Hey Jason, I noticed you kept saying that the second guy did not need 64 gigs of ram. I’m a graphic designer and I frequently see Photoshop using over 100 GB of my ram (I have 128 gigs) when I’m on large documents (15,000 x 20,000 pixels or more). I agree 64 gigs is overkill for most people but Photoshop is a ram hog. If this guy uses that, maybe that’s why he wanted so much ram.
If he had said professional level production build I would have gone with a lot of different recommendations for sure. But I have to go with what they say they want in their post
I’ll be honest, I did the same thing with the weak gpu thing on my $2400 pc build lol, but I really didn’t want to upgrade to a 4070 ti super for 200 dollars extra for basically going from a 4070 ti to 4070 ti super. I’d rather get the cheaper gpu and save for next gen because it’s pretty dumb how that is 200 dollars more for a ti upgrade basically because the 4070 super is about the same performance as 4070 ti
the cut from the image at 00:31 to 00:36 is very funny, nice job
thank you, glad you enjoyed!
The resurrection on the 1st build, bravo

I’m playing RDR2 at 1440p ultra with a 4090 right now because my 4K mini led is broken (cooler master has ghosted me in the RMA process) and it’s awesome. I might be ruining myself with high frame rate gameplay.
What are the rest of your specs?
@@MrAnimescrazy 13900k with 64 gb of 6000mhz ddr5 ram. I’m playing with DLSS on quality and getting 120-160 fps depending on the situation but I capped it at 140 because the monitor is only 144hz.
I was getting depressed over the cost of SSDs, but then stumbled across a 2tb Samsung 990 Pro at Staples for $120. Walmart is also clearancing out sub-1TB sata and nvme WD Blue and WD Black drives for dirt cheap in a lot of stores. It pays to poke around locally.
Hi Jason. Ragu here from Uk. Big fan of your videos. I’m looking to build my first gaming pc for my son. I’ve chosen the 7800x3d and 7900gre. I’m torn between msi mag b650 tomahawk WiFi and ASU’s strip b650 E-F. Any advice on which one to go for. Much appreciated. The ASU’s is £20 more
Tomahawk. I've seen Jason recommend it multiple times.
Either motherboard is totally fine. I've used both, and currently have the Strix B650E-F in my personal rig. Strix board is a little more premium, but they are both very close.
Love your channel ❤
Thank you so much!!
I have that Asrock 7900xt in my all white build and I love it
You could still have gotten the Arctic Liquid Freezer III A-RGB in white for under $100 for the build and saved about $70 more - and gotten a fantastic cooler
Always love your videos - thanks! Just updated my system with an RX 6650 XT 8GB, 12TB SATA 7200 256 storage, 4TB SSD. game launch... bolted onto a B450, 5600X, 2TB Nvme, 32GB DDR4. Pretty sure the PSU is a 650 80+ Corsair (cant be bothered to open it to find out). Basically a rock solid mid unit - very happy with it, for the cost. It also has 72TB external drives. 32" 4k monitor, 22" touchscreen monitor, 22" 1080p monitor. In fairness, I usually only use the 32" - the others are off - but available if I want them. I know - my little system is basically crap compared to your daily build - but for me - 5600X, 32GB DDR4, RX 6650 XT, 2TB Nvme..... colour me a very happy bunny! The B450 mobo - yeah - that probably needs updating - but its holding its own for now....
Congrats on the upgrade!
First build can easily fit a 4080super. Just cut back on the cpu cooler, mobo, and of course just buy a windows key instead of paying $100
I think you should reconsider your stance against gen4 SSDs. A silicon power UD90 is the same price as the mp33 for something like 125% of the throughput. And while it's true that won't get you more FPS, it does reduce load times perceptibly, and those are actually an annoyance in gaming! Like... it's the same price. Why stick with gen 3? And for people doing expensive builds, the sk hynix p41 platinum 2tb is $140 right now. You don't think it's worth $35 to cut 15-20% off every single load time in a premium gaming computer?
Just my feedback, and I refer to your builds a lot for ideas at different budget levels! I just think specifically for storage you may be neglecting to consider load times as "performance" and unnecessarily leaving some out.
Jason I always learn so much with your videos! Thumbs up for the cats!
That’s a great to hear! Thank you and hope you keep enjoying the content!
From my perspective, I will only recommend Gigabyte’s AM5 motherboards (e.g. B650M/X670 Aorus Elite AX), MSI and ASUS did not put a lots of effort on designing AM5 mobos.
Also, I will never recommend a B650 ATX board, the MATX board has already fully utilized all lanes that Prom21 (B650 Chipset), if intends to choose 7:38 7:38 ATX board, then head into X670.
Meanwhile, For the case, I will recommend Lianli L216 Mesh ver., which has a mesh panel and comes w/ 2 x 16cm intake fans, also ~$100.
For the PSU, I will run for 850W instead of 1000W, totally overkill for 78X3D + 4070 Ti Super (should be in total 400W)
Finally, for ssd, stick to those with DRAM if you want to use it as OS drive. Usually I will buy that drives that manufactured by the companies that also produce the NAND(Kioxia[Toshiba] , Western Digital, Samsung, SK Hynix,etcs). For high-end ssds, since Samsung 990 pro has the 0e issue, and SK Hynix P41 has the pSLC bug, sticks to WD SN850X.
My build is so out of wack. I bought the 7800x3D when it came out intending to build then, but life happened so some parts are way more expensive than they are now. Luckily motherboards, and GPU's have gone down, and that's pretty much all I had left. Still could have saved about $200, but it is what it is.
Good news is with the 7800X3D, most of the midrange and even budget B650 motherboards are totally fine! Hope the build came out ok!
@@PCBuilderChannelASRock B650M Pro RS $135. xfx 7900 xt $720.60. I just need to pick a 850w psu cause I'm not comfortable with my 7 year old 750w EVGA psu.
I was gunna say, ryzen for gaming is where it's at. I just bought a 4070ti super, so yeah it's a stud! Wish i had gone 7800x3d instead of 12700k, but i could do 4k pretty well. Haven't tried it yet but will soon.
Congrats on the build!!! :)
Without your content among a couple of others, got me a great pc. I'm so glad i found your channel. Still can't believe I got a i7 12700k for 250.00, still hasn't hit that price again.
@@binks_jim I think the 12700k is kind of a bad deal at this point. At 250, or in a bundle or something, that makes sense. But when I was shopping it was more than a 14600k, that clearly outperforms it.
I got a 14600k w mobo and 32gb of ddr5 (cl36, but this guy REALLY exaggerates ram speed...also, you can tweak it and gain performance back) for like 545 or something.
I was gonna grab the 13600k, but the 14600k was literally 3 dollars more or something. *shrugs*
@firghteningtruth7173 I agree, for a first time build though, and on a tight budget in August I got it for 250. Not too terrible. I've never ran an aio, however if I can get a 13700k at or below 250 I might consider it. How ever the thermalright phantom spirit with 2 120 fans holds Temps just fine on 12700k.
@@binks_jim I think you can actually cool a 13700k on air with a good cooler with as good or only a slight dip in performance from an AIO.
I mean, I grabbed a lil AIO for my 14600 and it keeps it frosty. But I have seen comparisons between an AIO and air coolers, and a few of them were RIGHT there with the aio.
Thank you for the video, I too am trying to build around a $2K gaming machine and used this video to make the best choices to max out my budget with the best parts!
So glad we could help!!
Great stuff as always Jason.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed this episode of BMB :)
The RX 7800 XT is all that you need for great quality-of-life 1440p gaming. Going higher than that for 1440p is more about the benchmarking e-sport side of things.
1440p has never made a game more fun to play.
Love your videos!
I had a gtx1080 and recently replaced it with an RX6900XT for $400.
I think I need to upgrade everything else. My COU is a ryzen 7 2700X. I’m assuming that is bottlenecking the GPU.
Thanks! Yes the 2700X is a massive bottleneck for you. The 5700X3D would be a massive drop in upgrade, and the 5800X3D is slightly better.
Thank you! The other issue is that the PSU is 550 so I probably will have to upgrade that as well.
I have a feeling that all that storage he added was not for production work. Arrr me hearties!
You absolutely can build a fully operational PC w/o a case. It is arguably the least essential component. Every time I do a new build, I first build it outside the case and do all the testing. Then I reassemble it inside the case. I once ran my main gaming PC with all the parts laid out on a big sheet of cardboard for several months waiting for a good price on the case I wanted. No doubt thousands of PC builders have done this. Might not be the best plan if you have children or cats in your home.
My morning has been boosted.
No case, retail OS license... and these are the pluses of the build 😂.
Edit: I think 850w, A tier psu is enough for a 14900k and 4070S... it's what I have for my 13600k overclocked and 7900xtx
Spoon dispensing TRUTH this morning.
850w is enough but longevity is a huge factor. It is quite stressful to the psu to run it at a high % of total usage and also less efficient. Most are in best use case and efficiency between 30-60% usage and will last the longest at these and lower
@@sparklingion So... I keep thinking 14900k is close to the 13600k but I looked at the charts and yeah, no... even the 4070S drop does balance it out. I'm probably wrong and it's on the fence at best and we don't build with on the fence part for $2000 builds. Yeah, get a 1000w.
@@SpoonHurler always best to be safe when building 💪 I would rather someone waste some money on getting a better psu they don’t or may not ever fully need than anything else tbh
@@sparklingion A 14900K is a bit under 300W under full load (which to be fair is massive) and a 4070 Super is around 220W under full load. 100% system load with the rest of the components included would be around 600W total or 70% of an 850W PSU. Since when you're gaming you're basically never at both 100% CPU and 100% GPU load 850W would not only be enough but also fall in to that 30%-60% load sweet spot when gaming.
I'm all for quality PSUs but it gets my goat when people are told they absolutely *need* a ridiculously high wattage PSU when the math doesn't support it.
Gooooood videos!!! I was looking for a 1.5k$ pc and im looking in your old vids to see what i can get! Ty for the learning :)
Glad I could help!
Nice video - great builds
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching
saw a 240 rad for a 14900k and laughed my head off immediately.
Every time I see someone spend $100 on a windows license I die a little inside.
Me too lol
850 Watt power supply is plenty of power for the first original setup. All the power supply calculators online range between 650 and 750 for this build. 650 seems low but 850 is certainly enough power. I may revisit this if he ends up with an o11 dynamic or hyte y70 touch with 46 RGB fans and an LCD but i don't see that at his budget. 1000w would run a 4090 without issue. 1200W for this build is completely overkill.
Jason your videos are very helpful ... I used to be in computer science and build my pcs all by myself ... but watching your videos are so much fun ...
Question ... where are you located ? are you ever building PC's for people and tuning them ? please let me know and I would be interested to make a new PC for myself when the RTX 5090 comes on board
Thank you for the great feedback! So glad you are enjoying. I don’t do custom builds sorry, but the goal of the channel is to give you the tools to build your own, know what you need if someone else is building, or get an awesome prebuilt. So hopefully we can help you get ready for that 5090 when it comes (:
Mine was a 4070 ti super and 14700k pc which costed if I remember the price was 1740$. Hope that was a good deal

Hey Jason I'm from India Graphic Card prices are just insanely weird here, but my budget is approx $300 and I have options such as :
RX6600 8Gb & RTX 3060 12Gb
Which one should I choose and is the 8gb Vram enough my usage includes gaming at 1080p and video editing might want to shift to 1440p gaming in future
I'd go for the 3060 12gb personally. Good choice for your needs
Hi, Jason
Nice video as always.
what do you think about the Lianli 216 and what do you think about this statement "the H6 case made the rest OF THE H9 cases obsolete"?
Having recently built my own build after carefully and painstakingly picking the parts I needed for my build… I too make the reactions you do when looking at these part picker lists… I only started getting into PC components etc around July last year and now I can’t unsee other people’s mistakes… I really can’t tell if some of these people are trolling so you will show case their terrible build or not 🤣
Congrats on your build!! And yes I see a lot of builds like this but we all start somewhere (:
@@PCBuilderChannel thank you Jason, I ended up going for a Ryzen 5 7600 and a Sapphire Pulse 7800XT… couldn’t justify spending the extra £300 to go to the 4070Ti Super, but I was happy with my choice, I’ve been gaming on an ACER Nitro 5 laptop for 4 and a half years nearly with an i7-9750h and a 1660Ti mobile GPU with a 60Hz refresh rate… literally got a beautiful MSI Optix 27” 1500R curved monitor with 170Hz refresh rate and 1440p… the difference is night and day in terms of performance… hopefully my viewers will appreciate the upgrade in the quality in my streams… may end up going to a Ryzen 7 eventually, but we’ll see what the 6 core can do… the way I look at it, anything I build was going to be an upgrade over the Nitro 5 laptop.
Thank you for your amazing channel for giving me the knowledge I needed to build my very first PC, I have such admiration for all that you do my friend ❤️
I've been using the 13600kf in my mid tier budget builds, and have one in my current backup PC. For the price/performance it's really hard to beat and it's an excellent chip if you don't mind a little extra power draw. It'll push any GPU on the market too.
Feels like highway robbery XD
I have 12gb of storage on mine with pics games all backed up with backups; but I have brought NVME's 3.0, 2tbs 2tb HDDs, and 1 tb SDDs from previous builds to this one.
Hey Jason, finished an ITX build similar to one on your ITX video, it’s a freaking beast 🔥 also thank you for the CDKey code for windows🙏🏽
Hey that’s awesome! Congrats on the build and so glad we could help. Show off a build pic if you like on Twitter/threads @pcbuilderjason
@PCBuilderChannel : In my opinion you can't have "to much" storage-space in your PC. 😁 I use 10TB as NVMe and 62TB as HDD in my PC. Only in the last view days I added round about 3TB data on my PC.
You know the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OG OC based on a different PCB? Its based on a modded 3090 PCB and use the 3090 cooler. Thats why it is maybe the smallest 4090 on the market. 326mm length against 348mm of the original ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC.
My System:
i5 13600k
MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi
32 GB DDR5 6000 CL32
be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 1000W ATX 3.0
TR PA 120 SE
Phanteks Enthoo Pro (Not the nicest and newest, but a lot of space, also for 6 HDDs)
5x Arctic P14
A lot of NVMe SSD and SATA HDD 😅
(My old) ASUS TUF Gaming 3060Ti OC (The only thing, that I will change. But maybe I'm waiting for the 5090 or buy than a cheaper used 4090)
Is a 850W psu enough for a build with a Ryzen 7 7800xd and 4070 card?
Almost certainly, but see our Best PSU video for how to size it with all of your components.
I finally got the 4070 ti super 16 gb (Zotac white), paired with my i7 12700 cpu running on an MSI 690 WIFI board, and have had great performance through all of my games - mostly first person shooters like COD and Battlefield. All settings run on ultra, and my monitor is an ultra wide 49 inch Samsung C49RG90. Frame rates average in the 140 fps and often topping 200 on certain scenes. Cinematics go way hi in fps, but I think those are likely running at 1080p or less. The GPU runs at about 70 c when in-game, and remains steady between 65 & 70 c throughout hours of play, so it handles heat saturation well.
I upgraded from a 3070 ti oc at 8 gb - which could never handle more intense games at ultra settings due to the limited memory capacity.
The upgrade to the 16 gb 4070 super cost about $100 more than the 3070 I was stuck buying a year ago, but coming from that experience I'm absolutely satisfied!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
This episode is craaazzzyyy!!!
Jason, thank you for another great video! Every day I see people making the same mistakes picking the CPU before the GPU.
right? Its such a thing! Glad you enjoyed (:
Is 5200mhz ram too slow for ryzen 5 7600 because in my country it is difficult to find 6000 or 5600 rams
It's slow but not unusable if you have no other options. You'll lose 5-ish percent fps and ram is a very easy upgrade later when prices become sane in your region cause they will.
If that is all you can get, 5200 will be fine.
My best friend is a 3D animator and his PC has 64 GB of RAM in it. Big difference in rendering from 32GB. One of his co-workers actually has 128 GB of RAM in their build.
From my experience, Seagate hard drives are stupid slow and tend to fail a lot.
I'm hoping to finish my upgrade today. Ordered a 7800XT and should be in today. I considered the 7900 GRE, but since I'm up against a 5800X3D, I'd be hitting that wall in terms of performance.
Oh yes if this was actually for a professional production build I’d be making a bunch of different recommendations for sure. Hope your PC comes together great! Keep us posted
Ummm.... Godzilla doesn't do tiny screens.
Agreed
Is core i9 14th gen, pny rtx 4070ti and samsung odessey g9 good build? I will probably upgrade rtx 5000 or 6000 series in future
Also rtx 4080 and 144hz monitor is an option. But what’s the point of rtx 4080 when the monitor can’t utilize the cpu, gpu at it’s maximum right?
Jason doesn't recommend the 14900K. Go with the 14700K instead. The rest looks good.
I really wouldn’t go 14900K personally, and definitely not with that GPU. If this is a gaming focused build go 7800X3D (we have a great sample build for that in our Best Builds February video) and if production focused go 14700k.
This is what I was waiting for! A recap of all the information from the past years! Ty ty ty ( Thank goodness you helped the first build! That was very poorly optimized)
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching (:
Rtx 4070 Ti super 16gb and Rx 7900 xt/xtx are my favorite high-end GPU on a market
The first build was solid but the white theme kinda killed performance for me. I just put together a build with a 7800x3d and a 4080 super for a little over $1,900. (Just checked 1,902 to be exact).
i remember being excited when i got the very first Cyrix 486, after running 286
Hey Jason don't know if you'll see this but I just wanted to say how helpful your videos have been to me, you always explain things in great detail appreciate you man
Thank you!! Really appreciate the feedback
It really is baffling how much lower the prices are in the US.
These prices are without tax because each state in the US has a different tax. The prices are still lower, yes, but not *that much* lower.
Good to know. Thanks@@Zxanonblade
Yes keep in mind these are without tax since different states have different amounts (including a couple lucky states with no sales tax).
For the 2nd build: This person should either use RAID or a NAS (or both) to avoid losing any valuable data.
piracy hoarder
While I agree noctua asks a lot for the metal on their CPU coolers, one thing I (re)discovered recently is how superior (or inferior in that case?) the noise profile of their fans is compared to most other things on the market.
And this isn't about decibels so very hard to judge from a review.
I got a case with fans for my current build that every review about it said were decent fans but for me they just made my ears bleed even at 10% speed. Swapped them for noctuas and I can run them at 1250rpm (low speed version of the NF-A12x25) put my ear next to them, and I can't hear them at all.
My weekend isn’t complete without a boost my build video!
Happy weekend!
On that first build you might even be able to squeeze in a 4090 at 2200$. Yes it sounds crazy but with an r5 5600x don't lose many, if at all any, frames at 4k. It's pretty much always a gpu bottleneck. Some good ram (32gb 4400mhz cl19) and you have a really good system for 4k gaming. Made the build, math checks out.
I feel like all these ultra budget builders are just larping
NAS can get expensive. $810 for a 6-bay (AS6706T) and almost $1800 for 6x16TB Ironwolf Pros - RAID6 so only 64TB total.
17:35 This amount of storage has a story behind it , and I don't think I want to know .
the more you spend the more you save
