How do you feel about a 1660 super for a build like this? Also, any variants of this card I should avoid? I'm trying to save a few bucks. I already have a case, SSD, and PSU from my current dead desktop so those aren't areas I could save more.
That cpu tower shot was real choice, fantastic job to the whole crew as always; I love this channel and its dedication to doing a great job Edit: the psu tower at 19:27 :0
Nice to see you guys making budget build once in a while. Watching high-end stuff is nice, but for me the information isn't 'useful' as I can't build high-end PC. But this video isn't just fun, it's also informative for me to plan my next build :)
Gotta say when I started watching your channel as a first deeper dive into these topics, the amount of info you put into a single video was pretty overwhelming. But now, after understanding a bit and it being easier to follow, I am impressed and inspired by your passion and professionalism.
Thank you for this - this is almost exactly the build I had in mind - I'm going to wait a little while for 3300X to actual be available at retail price and to see if B550 boards come down a little in price.
I've been watching much more of you and less of LTT recently. You put in so much more effort into giving the best, most accurate, most useful information to the majority population and i just want to say i appreciate it 👍
Yeah my life has shifted quite a bit becoming an adult I don't really have time for watching TH-cam for fun. I like to stay up to date on tech and I appreciate the straightforward approach
The general tips that you include are really helpful, especially for newcomers. For example, the general rule of thumb for PSU power usage around 60% capacity is something I wish I heard earlier. Finding answers through Google/reddit can yield varying results. It'd be great if you combined other common guidelines for PC building/parts. (I realize this may be redundant, but it helps grow the channel and serves as a refresher for regulars too)
some wont even need pcpartpicker anymore....this is a cool idea...that was a lot of hard work and time you guys had to spend to start this new idea....keep it up
I like the template format. It gives a good scope of what sort of performance you get for each part, and is the sort of thing I like to consider when building a pc.
Wow. Really nice job, guys. This video is going to be invaluable to so many people trying to build a PC over the coming year (and then some). I foresee about half a million views coming just from various pc subreddits linking here to answer build questions, lol. Do you guys plan on reviewing B550 boards as they release? I’d REALLY like to see that.
This is, by far, the most useful build guide I've seen. Also super enjoyable and helpful. Just giving us the compiled data is exactly what I want to make easy decisions on what I should pickup.
Just built a ryzen 3600, x570 aorus elite, took some cheap corsair 3200 cl16 xmp and manual tuned it to a tight cl18 3600mhz. I then dropped in a red devil 5700xt. I went full air with 2 intake on front, a giant 240 turbine on the top and a normal outake in the back. I dropped a scyth mugen5 argb on CPU and psu was a power flower III 650w argb. Overall Im really happy with the build thanks very much for how hard you all work making these videos. Your videos played a big part in what I chose in this build. My CPU is running at 4.1-4.2ghz in games and ranged between 56oc and 68 in gaming. I put a custom fan curve on gpu cause dont care about the sound. It runs in games between 60% and 75% fan and gpu rarely goes over 56 Oc!!! Even a random temp spike hits 61OOc max for a few seconds then drops back. Your the best dude. Da best! I should just write your name over the front of my case and call it tech Jesus. Playing nearly all games in 1440p 144hz and my fps bounces between 115-150 on maxed out forza 4, call of duty warzone etc. I know you will hate me for asking this. However your benchs on the 5700xt are radically lower fps than what Im getting now after the last few driver updates. Id say that 12% boost they claim is not that far off. An example of this would be my red devil running a constant bounce of 1980mhz but reaching 2040mhz and holding regularly. When I say holding I mean it will sit there now for minutes not seconds. Granted I have higher fan curves on than stock but It's still really impressive. Not like im ramping 100% fans at any point. It never goes over 75% fan and usually will sit 65%. If you want to clear 2ghz with this gpu I recommend the volume increase from fans. The temperature here right now is 23 Oc for some perspective on my random spewing of numbers lol, Consider running the top 3 5700xt in an updated bench for comparison to their previous bench?
This is fantastic, even for an experienced builder, I appreciate the depth of testing to support part-pairing decisions. This is extremely high value content for the viewer, and an exceedingly well done/practical means for compiling all the great testing work you do with building a complete system. Thanks Steve and team!
I am currently researching everything To build a new gaming pc but so much is out of stock. This is exactly the kind of build video I’ve been looking for!
I built my first pc a week ago. Couple of months ago i was thinking to build with b550 and 3300x, but as i finally discovered their prices, i went with asrock b450m steel legend and ryzen 5 2600. Also used bequiet pure base 500dx case, as it already have 3 quality fans included, seasonic focus gold 450w semimodular psu, gigabyte gtx1660 super (as it was on sale), crucial ballistix 2x8gb 3200mhz and 500gb wd blue SN550 nvme. It was very enjoyable experience and easier to assemble than i thought it would be. Everything worked without issues.
I think template builds like this are a great idea, especially since you can direct people towards all your other content to get more in depth information on literally every part of the system lol
Gotta say , I spend a lot of my freetime with computer hardware but this template style is still super helpfull, because it really shows the individual differences for the components
For memory overclocking on boards like this I recommend plugging your reset button jumper into the cmos reset pins and saving profiles to a usb drive before you save and exit bios.
Definitely love the template format. Really informative, and serves as an incredibly useful starting point for novice builders. Great way to do things.
Should probably compare this to a b450 board to see if there is any benefit to using a b550 on a 3300x system. I doubt it, but then it asks if it’s really worth the cost difference.
Upgrade path for sure, but mostly if you haven’t been looking at pc parts for about a month you wouldn’t know that literally everything is out of stock and or 3 times the retail price. The b550’s are the only thing left as they just came out and they are still retail. If you’re thinking about getting one get it now because next week they will be gone.
Where are you based? Supply seems to be going back to normal in the UK, and RAM is cheaper than ever. X470s seem to be getting a lot cheaper as well (being pushed down by B550).
Nathan Gamble I’m in the south USA. I went personally into Fry’s and to micro center in Dallas. And it was literally empty. Newegg and amazon are either sold out or have the item for 2 times the retail price. :/ so much for my first build
You have seriously put together the exact PC I want to build if I only had the money to do it! I'm still running on a HP Envy i7 3770 based PC that's hanging in there. But I seriously want to build a new PC!!!
So, as of this morning there were exactly 3 B450 motherboards available in stock online from any major retailer, qty 1 only. No MATX B450 boards and No B550 boards of any kind. This is awesome.
nice. was waiting for something like that. still very precise approach but much more consumer friendly. and the template is very useful just cause it covers different options and budgets. thx.
This is really neat..no other creator doing pc built with those depth....its either pc build...to benchmarking....but not both .... Keep this coming long hair
Probably not what Steve wants to hear but you guys should really do a podcast of some sort. I feel like it’s something GN would do super well. But anyway! Yeah this type of context with the perspective GN usually provides is needed. This is why I come here if I’m looking at cases and boards. Always unbiased and real about what to expect. Keep doing this, I need ideas for my LAN build lol
3300x, B550, 2060 KO. Three years ago this was called a 7700k, Z270, and GTX 1080 for twice the price. Today it's a really good value system. If this time next year you feel like new consoles are edging you out, you can drop in a 4700X and a 3060.
I find this format really useful, even more so than the standard benchmarks. I understand why you use the best CPU for GPU benchmarks and the best GPU for CPU benchmarks, don't get me wrong. But seeing benchmarks for specific combos of CPU+GPU+platform really shows exactly what kind of performance you get for your choice of components and budget. Regardless, great in-depth content as usual, thank you and keep it up.
Always helpful. Still can't afford a nice graphics card. Should have bought that 2070KO you recommended before "the fall". Under $300 is now a dream only.
This is a cool idea. This is also going to be my build which makes the video more relevant to me in understanding relative performance. Im just waiting on the B550 and 3300x to come in the mail before I can build.
It is great to see explanations of 'why you do this?' When a cooler is $50 and a CPU with cooler upgrade is more than the next step up with Included cooler it is good to understand. What I enjoy about more cores and more screens is 'gaming productivity'. You can play your games and watch your videos, catch up with your Discord friends or watch your on line training without compromise to either game or video content.
I would have liked a "here's how much this bonus feature cost, and here's how much it improved performance" mention every now and again in order to see where the most efficient upgrades would be, esp on a budget focused build like this where you're trying to cut corners while impacting usability as little as possible. Or at the very least a clear comparison of the things you change and how much they affected performance, so we could do our own price lookups. Also testing more tiers of cpu coolers would have been nice.
Personally I think this type of content just adds another layer to your already bountiful harvest of no-nonsense straight up facts when it comes to PC building and it's myriad of components. I can only see positives coming from this, bringing in the type of viewer who's unsure about PC building only to have them leave well informed and feeling better more secure in their purchases and more importantly themselves. You don't kowtow to anyone and it shows that integrity matters. People really take notice of these type of things...
That’s a great idea! I would love to see a build with meshify s2. You mentioned many times that fractal meshify cases have great POTENTIAL but poor stock configuration for thermals. A build with 3 fans at the front would be interesting!
I just placed an order for my upgrade..... it baffles my mind i got the Tuff x570 wifi for $300 but the mid range B550's are $280. By the time i factored in shipping it was cheaper to get 3600/x570 then a 3300x/b550 combo by almost $60
my old x79 motherboard from 2012 goes into safe boot and loads the right settings when you unplug and drain the power. It is sad to see those features don't make it into mainstream boards, removing the battery is old school
Great content as always Steve. Very impressed with this cpu overall. I ditched my 8700k as I wanted a change and as Zen 3 is not out yet, I went with an x570 Tuf board and 3600. MicroCenter made me an offer I could not refuse. $159 for the cpu and an additional $20 off when I bought the Mobo!!! Can't say I am seeing any better performance than my old 8700k z370 build, but I am ready for Zen 3. And once this arrives I will have a spare 3600 for an upgrade for my wife's PC...... Keep up the great work. I'm off to order a GN mouse pad now.
I bought the Asus X570 TUF Gaming Plus for $140usd new. AND, it performs better and has more features. B550 prices will have to drop from retail pretty quick to justify their purchase.
Dont make newbie misstakes,which should be memory in wrong slots,the motherboard dont like the memory,psu should be known brand and more power the better in the long run +5year mark,the cords from motherboard to chassi is a pain for nearsighted with fat fingers,buy a quality chassi with space, ssd harddrive or better and the you need a new windows thats bound to the new motherboard , big chassi that can take a long gpu is good but some motherboard are blocked to use a full gpu and some motherboard use crap components
Loving this format, gives more variety and know how for someone like me that's looking to get a new PC with limited availability to parts where I live. I'm curious to see what other builds you're going to showcase, specifically geared towards the Adobe Creative Suite, not just premiere.
I have an old case power button hooked up to my clear CMOS jumpers. When I bork something I just press the button for 10 seconds and it clears. Easy peasy. The look ain't great because I have the button on top of my case. I'm not gonna say how long I used a screw driver before I finally figured that out.
Question regarding power supply: On the PowerColor website it says that they recommend a 700W PSU for their Red Devil RX 5700XT. The GPU itself has a maximum of 220W. I'm running it with a Ryzen 5 3600. On PC Part Picker, the total consumption is at max 450W. Do I really need 700 or can I settle for ~550W?
I can't say for certain about the B550. But my TUF Gaming X570 board has clear cmos pins, that you just short with a screwdriver for a few seconds. A little easier than pulling the battery. A lot like jumpstarting the testbench, when the MB doesn't have a built in power button.

Hey Steve what do you think about "Ryzen DRAM Calculator"? Wouldn't it make optimizing memory timings less of a hassle?

Edit: the psu tower at 19:27 :0
Thanks for recognizing the work that the video team does! Keegan took that one.
yeah, but Ryzen 3600 should be at the top
Did you get a new 3600? I liked how you kept showing the redacted version you got ahead of embargo lift. Didn't want to keep taunting AMD?
@@rawdez_ Only by a hair, and for more money overall. For gaming the extra Cores mean very little.

I have yet to see the 3300x in stock anywhere. Ever.
There on Newegg most of the time for around 129.99
On french site they arnt even listed. Pissing me off, a friend is in need and i can't make him the build i want cause of this
They are available in my country, but I feel they are still a bit pricey. Around 90% of what an 3400g is right now.
Try looking in bundles. That's where they seem to be in stock most often in the UK. They do tend to sell out quickly though.
@@mynameis______392 that's for pre-order. Not in stock, nor MSRP. LOT less hype when the price goes up and not available. Super frustrating
Gotta say when I started watching your channel as a first deeper dive into these topics, the amount of info you put into a single video was pretty overwhelming.
But now, after understanding a bit and it being easier to follow, I am impressed and inspired by your passion and professionalism.

I've been watching much more of you and less of LTT recently. You put in so much more effort into giving the best, most accurate, most useful information to the majority population and i just want to say i appreciate it 👍
I consider GN to be "serious", and LTT to be more like good entertainment, and watch both.
I agree and second that,
Ltt it's so cringe and shilly I cannot stand to watch anymore
The thing is LTT is just fun and Gamers Nexus is what you turn to for in depth answers. LTT is a tech nerd with no Budget cap

Good
High clocks demand blood sacrifice to the silicon god
PERFECT TIMING, I'm just about to build a pc for my parents and was looking at B550 and 3300x. Many thanks GN
me too good luck finding either in stock
Do your parents really need a b550? I think you could save a lot of money with a b450 if your parents dont need features and performance
Yes strongly considering b450 especially if they are only going to be playing C&C remastered : P
@@zeronin4696 there are no b450's left.... I also can't find any 3300x's anywhere.
Good luck! Can't find them anywhere.
Best PC build video ever. I really don't like how other channels just throw the parts list and that's it.
This is really useful, so much better than a fixed list of 'This is what i picked so that is what your getting' you get from most PC builds!
some wont even need pcpartpicker anymore....this is a cool idea...that was a lot of hard work and time you guys had to spend to start this new idea....keep it up

Thanks for the video. This is the only channel where I watch videos from start to finish without skipping. Useful guides. Keep it up.
I really liked this approach. It plays to this channel's strength (math) while staying very useful.
Before people nitpick your parts selection, I offer them a proverb from Tech Deals...
Custom PC's are *custom*

3300x, B550, 2060 KO. Three years ago this was called a 7700k, Z270, and GTX 1080 for twice the price. Today it's a really good value system. If this time next year you feel like new consoles are edging you out, you can drop in a 4700X and a 3060.
Would love to see this much detail for the 3900X. That’s what I’m looking at buying.
Very nice guide really helpful for people that haven't followed you all these years, also known as newbs
I find this format really useful, even more so than the standard benchmarks. I understand why you use the best CPU for GPU benchmarks and the best GPU for CPU benchmarks, don't get me wrong. But seeing benchmarks for specific combos of CPU+GPU+platform really shows exactly what kind of performance you get for your choice of components and budget. Regardless, great in-depth content as usual, thank you and keep it up.
Every problem can be an opportunity -
How about a video on "installing your own CLR CMOS button"?
Really enjoy the data driven approach and this video was done great keep it up
Love this! I'll probably build a new PC in about a year and seeing one of these around then at my price point would be a great starting point
Always helpful. Still can't afford a nice graphics card. Should have bought that 2070KO you recommended before "the fall". Under $300 is now a dream only.
This is a cool idea. This is also going to be my build which makes the video more relevant to me in understanding relative performance. Im just waiting on the B550 and 3300x to come in the mail before I can build.
For the love of god, so comprehensive. Thank you very much for the article
It is great to see explanations of 'why you do this?' When a cooler is $50 and a CPU with cooler upgrade is more than the next step up with Included cooler it is good to understand.
What I enjoy about more cores and more screens is 'gaming productivity'. You can play your games and watch your videos, catch up with your Discord friends or watch your on line training without compromise to either game or video content.
This is super useful! Please do one for a gaming PC in the 1500-2000 USD range!!
Great format. Would love to see more!
I am a big fan of this type of content. Make more of it
I would have liked a "here's how much this bonus feature cost, and here's how much it improved performance" mention every now and again in order to see where the most efficient upgrades would be, esp on a budget focused build like this where you're trying to cut corners while impacting usability as little as possible. Or at the very least a clear comparison of the things you change and how much they affected performance, so we could do our own price lookups. Also testing more tiers of cpu coolers would have been nice.
Personally I think this type of content just adds another layer to your already bountiful harvest of no-nonsense straight up facts when it comes to PC building and it's myriad of components. I can only see positives coming from this, bringing in the type of viewer who's unsure about PC building only to have them leave well informed and feeling better more secure in their purchases and more importantly themselves. You don't kowtow to anyone and it shows that integrity matters. People really take notice of these type of things...
Love the new template format - great idea!
That’s a great idea! I would love to see a build with meshify s2. You mentioned many times that fractal meshify cases have great POTENTIAL but poor stock configuration for thermals. A build with 3 fans at the front would be interesting!
Yep, this content is great. More please . Happy patron.
Wow, thanks! I think you've convinced me to drop my desire to get a 3600x computer
So it looks like I quickly have to become a successful PC tech channel to get my hands on a 3300X, they are *delivery date unknown* everywhere!
I liked the power consumption part, because I'm trying to find ways to lower the heat output of my PC. Summers coming.
If only the 3300X was available. B&H pushed back their backorder from June 11, to June 26th, to July 16th. Had to cancel my order.
I just placed an order for my upgrade..... it baffles my mind i got the Tuff x570 wifi for $300 but the mid range B550's are $280.
By the time i factored in shipping it was cheaper to get 3600/x570 then a 3300x/b550 combo by almost $60
Man you clean up your desk. Haven't seen that in a while. Congratulations!!!
my old x79 motherboard from 2012 goes into safe boot and loads the right settings when you unplug and drain the power. It is sad to see those features don't make it into mainstream boards, removing the battery is old school
With this kind of power efficiency, sff looks really appealing.
Until you see the mitx mobo prices
Love my mouse mat. Great quality. Thanks GN.
Fantastic work guys. Love the new format. Thanks for the great content!
Great content as always Steve. Very impressed with this cpu overall. I ditched my 8700k as I wanted a change and as Zen 3 is not out yet, I went with an x570 Tuf board and 3600. MicroCenter made me an offer I could not refuse. $159 for the cpu and an additional $20 off when I bought the Mobo!!! Can't say I am seeing any better performance than my old 8700k z370 build, but I am ready for Zen 3. And once this arrives I will have a spare 3600 for an upgrade for my wife's PC...... Keep up the great work. I'm off to order a GN mouse pad now.
Tech Jesus nailed to the motherboard with sharp fin stacks...
Not that long ago the narrative on a lot of youtube was “quarcores are done” and 2600 and 1600AF was the floor. So this is intriguing
It's true for the long term, but today the 3300X is quite powerful for the price.
That's one straight forward intro. Nice.
I bought the Asus X570 TUF Gaming Plus for $140usd new. AND, it performs better and has more features. B550 prices will have to drop from retail pretty quick to justify their purchase.
Never built my own pc before.. this video is exactly what I needed 👌👌
Goodbye Fx 4300 Hello Ryzen 5😁
Dont make newbie misstakes,which should be memory in wrong slots,the motherboard dont like the memory,psu should be known brand and more power the better in the long run +5year mark,the cords from motherboard to chassi is a pain for nearsighted with fat fingers,buy a quality chassi with space, ssd harddrive or better and the you need a new windows thats bound to the new motherboard , big chassi that can take a long gpu is good but some motherboard are blocked to use a full gpu and some motherboard use crap components
Loving this format, gives more variety and know how for someone like me that's looking to get a new PC with limited availability to parts where I live. I'm curious to see what other builds you're going to showcase, specifically geared towards the Adobe Creative Suite, not just premiere.
I have an old case power button hooked up to my clear CMOS jumpers. When I bork something I just press the button for 10 seconds and it clears. Easy peasy. The look ain't great because I have the button on top of my case. I'm not gonna say how long I used a screw driver before I finally figured that out.
Question regarding power supply: On the PowerColor website it says that they recommend a 700W PSU for their Red Devil RX 5700XT. The GPU itself has a maximum of 220W. I'm running it with a Ryzen 5 3600. On PC Part Picker, the total consumption is at max 450W. Do I really need 700 or can I settle for ~550W?
Would LOVE to see some ASRock B550 board reviews !
I can't say for certain about the B550. But my TUF Gaming X570 board has clear cmos pins, that you just short with a screwdriver for a few seconds. A little easier than pulling the battery. A lot like jumpstarting the testbench, when the MB doesn't have a built in power button.
Cool format looks nice GN Team
