Just upgraded from a 7 year old i7-8700K/GTX1080 to.... Ryzen 5 7600x3d (yes this is really a thing - limited market though) ASUS TUF Gaming B650-plus wifi 32Gb G.Skill Flare x5 DDR5-6000 CL32 WD-Black SN850X NVMe 1Tb Gigabyte RX7600XT Corsair RM750e ThermalTake TH240V2 The M/B, processor and ram were a bundle at $150 off, the cooler was also on a good sale. Reused the old Digital Storm Case. Current monitor is a 1080p-60Hz, but looking to upgrade to 1440p-higher refresh next year. On the whole I hope to get another 7 years from this kit, maybe with a few minor upgrades.
I never managed to get xpower ram to work in my build. Read the amazon reviews of many other people having this problem. Please stop recommending it in builds.
First pc, 4080 super, currently playing the assassin’s creed franchise in chronological order, playing ac unity as of now. The one thing I love about having a pc instead of a console is the much bigger variety of games. Not to mention emulators so that you could technically even play games on other consoles… PC on top for sure
I bought an i7 14700 with 4080 super pc build for my productivity work but when gaming i cant tell the difference from my xbox series x. Sure it looks graphically better but I couldnt justify paying 6 to 7 times the price just to game on a pc 😂
Jason always love the enthusiasm. This was a really good episode. I like that you went back to 2019 and contrasted what we have today. Thank you for breaking it down.
I already liked it. You do a great job of reminding us And it works. I was number 261 this morning. Keep up the good work You're doing great. You have a unique channel. You don't need to change anything. I watch some gamers Nexus and I watch some UDF tech And you are in my top 10 rotation. As well. What turns me off is when reviewers slam companies. Stay away from that and you'll do fine. It's okay to be disappointed in something and say hey I wish this company could do better but calling companies liars and cheaters and stuff just turns me off. What I hear is honest opinions from you and looking for the best we can do. And not at the expense of others. Thank you thank you thank you.
I kind of regret not buying AMD. I went from the GTX 960 to the RTX4070. Been waiting for a new GPU since 2018 or so and AMD released their cards a bit late. Basically I could have gotten a 7800xt for way less, more VRAM and overall better performance besides Raytracing.
@@noahw5887 but look on the bright sight! You're going to want an upgrade sooner than you would if had bought a 7800XT, so you get to make the choice again soon :) edit: Oh, wait, that's not necessarily a bright side 🤔
@@noahw5887ppl suggested that card and 4080 to me because Ray tracing. I said screw that if I can’t get 4090 I’ll just get a 7900 xtx so that’s what I did. The price on that 7900 xtx is insane now
One of the best youtube channels out there. Great job as always. I'm 47, used to ride my bike down to radio shack back in the late 80's/early 90's lol, gone but no forgotten lol .
I have being following for a few months and I just wanted to thank you for all your videos. I wanted to upgrade my PC and thanks to you I can now play at 1440p with high settings and my PC doesn´t overheat. So thank you.
I sticked with my am4 build myself and was able to justify an 4080S because so. I’m pretty confident i can get to am6 at this point my pc run everything 4k 60+ fps maxed out can’t complain atm the 5700x3D is a beast per value!
Just pulled the trigger on Prime day, had an ancient i3 540 and HD7770. Built a 5700X3D on Asus Strix b550, Red Devil 7800XT, 64GB Vengeance 3600, WD gen4 nvme, Corsair 850x ps and 4000D case, Peerless Assassin 120 cooler, and 32" Samsung Odyssey 1440p 240hz monitor. Paid like $181 for the 5700x3d, getting 200+ fps in my fav mmorpg, and the system runs so cool. I love it so much.
Can confirm, the B550M Mortar is really good. It wasn't super expensive and has good VRMs that keep cool, some of the cheaper ones could still be kind of crappy with B550, but the Mortar is able to handle everything you can put on the platform very well. It's overall a great board.
Thanks for the vids.. Mine is ancient too GTX 1080 and I keep watching your videos as I would like to upgrade soon and planning to build mostly white theme with a little bit of touch of black and RGB RGB RGB RGB RGB. I really like how energetic you are. Again thank you very much for the content.
Just built a pc for a friend 2 weeks ago, was able to get him a rx 7700xt with a ryzen 5 5600, 1tb pcie 4 gen ssd, good msi case with 4 pre-installed vents for around 45€, b550 asus prime motherboard with wifi, and a 650w corsair power supply (A tier), as for ram I went with the ripjaws 2×16 cl16 3200mhz, the total price was 870€, all thx to your incredible videos Jason, keep it up!!!
Every time I hear Jason talking about a 1440 build I crank it up. I’m currently running a 2018 build. There was no way I was going to try to upgrade when Covid hit.!
having the 2 drives thing for me personally is mostly about data protection and modding for games, for many mods and modding applications its typically standard to keep games off the boot drive because windows does not play nice with applications constantly modifying or injecting scripts or any other data in another program or folder. You could just create a new partition but still keeping things off of it entirely makes it more practical incase of os instability or failure. The amount of times iv had to reinstall games in the past because I needed to clean install my OS or the amount of files and documents iv lost. Now i just organize my drives by OS, Games, and Storage. OS is a small 128gb sata ssd, gaming is a 1tb nvme for larger games that stream textures, another 1tb sata ssd for smaller games and older ones that wouldnt really benefit from an nvme, and storage is a 12tb hdd for general storage of everything i dont use on a daily basis.
Since the 2nd guy used his "e-tier" psu for 5 years. I wonder does the PSU tier list even matter at budget builds with low power draw. Anyway great value pc builds as always
I really like how you critiqued this build, well done. The RAM was a good touch, 16GB for 1080p/light1440p rig is more than enough, the CPU Cooler was a good note too and as you mentioned, this is one of the easier things to upgrade in the future; now for the case... I LOVE THIS CASE, for $60, it's one of the best one's I've built in so far, the aesthetics with the included RGB fans and hub are such a good deal! I don't like that its a negative pressure case but hey, for the money you can't complain too much. Good stuff.
@13:00 One thing about buying an indentical RAM kit later. Since its DDR4 it will be phasing out and you mite not be able to find an identical kit later. But 16GB should be enough for now the GPU is the most important part. 🙂
You basically saved the guy with the $700 build limit. The 7600 gpu was the best choice for his build and I was amazed by how you saved him $8-10 here and there to enable him to upgrade his GPU. Nice job Jason and why i watch/sub to members section
I can't thank you enough, learned a lot from just watching your videos and finally got my own PC soon which is mainly focused on ultra 1440p settings when it comes to gaming. Also something that probably only a few noticed as you hid it really well... your hair looks amazing now, you upgraded it with the 4090 HairTX! 👍🏻
Never knew that move to one and two when adding a new set of ram. I had that 1 and 3, and 2 and 4 burned into my brain years ago and never split up the old pair when adding a new one.
Rx 6800 is 350 on newegg. That is really hard to beat and man I know it didnt fit in the 700 dollar build but if you could just stretch another 40 bucks you could have an insane gpu that would do what 127 fps in that chart? Just wow prices are falling.
"5 years" == "ancient"; heh. Back when I was too busy to build, I had a custom desktop tower built for me by Silicon Mechanics (quod Google), so the hostname "Horta" was obvious. Horta lived for 17 years before she finally was killed by a Power Surge From Hell. At the end she was so decrepit that she was displaying 80x25 on a beige CRT, and I was still doing hardcore gaming: NetHack. I felt enough of an emotional attachment to her that I was sad when she died.
8:48 - I got my 4070 for 500€ last year 4 days before black friday instead of the original 700€+ that this card is still on sale for today, so hear what this man has to say. To be fair, mine is a gigabyte card and they were having a PR nightmare with how their 30 series and some of their high-end 40 series were having cracked PCB's due to sagging last year, but for 500€ +5€ for a bracket? I took it. Don't regret it. Therefore, if you have time and you don't really care about the 2 games coming with the 7600XT, waiting until November for your GPU sounds like a pretty good move. If you knew what you were doing, I'd wait for the deals and buy the whole PC in november, but since that's not the case, GPU sales is your best bet at saving a couple bucks without messing anything else up. Pretty good gaming system and decent workstation for 715$ though. And you can go to 32 GB of RAM for another 28$ if you end up needing it, which is nice.
About the second build the motherboard may need a bios update for the 5700X3D to work. So best to update it to the latest version before changing the CPU.
The X870 ASUS isn't necessary. A B650 is all you need. You can also go cheaper on the CPU Cooler with the Thermalright Phantom Spirit. The rest looks good though.
Well, well, well. . . what do we have here? 1:19 is the first attempt at a console killer build since the launch of the current generation of consoles back in 2020 - at least, the first attempt that I'm aware of.
Only 6 GB RAM on the graphic card! I think about my first own PC (not from my parents) from 1997. AMD K6 200 MHz, 16 MB RAM (yes, I had a lot of RAM), 3,2 GB HDD, Matrox Mystique with 2 MB of VRAM.
The first person definitely missed out on some amazing deals during the sales. $112 for the 5600X or combo deal for $195, $300 6750XT along with the $50 MSI 650w unit. We'll see what BF brings. Also, disagree with the PSU chosen by Jason. A 650w unit is minimum IMO with headroom for a 7700XT or perhaps 7800XT.
Wondering what type of build you would recommend for a upgrading a multimedia pc.. One not specifically for gaming.. World of warcraft, NFS unbound and some other older titles. but for just kicking back on a home theater. Right now it's an 8 yr old Ryzen 1800x, 32 gigs ddr 4, taichi x370, 2 tb nvme m.2 & a 256gig m.2, rx7600 for its GPU. For what I do and the few games I play it does pretty well. Planning to carry over the 2tb m.2, power supply, case nzxt h440, GPu.
Still rocking a x570, Ryzen 5 3600, rog strix 2070 super, and 16 gigs of 3200 ram. Debating if the am4 upgrade to a 5700x3d and a 7900xt is worth it or just go all in and build on the am5 platform. Seems kind of dumb to put money into am4 to upgrade with the prices still decently high
Scorptec is one of my goto PC retailers in Australia. Also they seem to be the only ones here to stock n sell the XFX models. I have been eyeing the 7900GRE for a while.
Another very informative video. Thank you. When you are talking about adding RAM and say put original kit in slots 1 and 2 and the add on in 3 nd 4 isn't that the way pre-builts come? Looking to add 16gb's of the same kit so can I just add to the 2 open spots and not worry about it?
For installing the second ram kit at a later time can you explain the order of the ram sticks pls? Shouldnt each pair remain on their own ram channel together? Or does the order not matter if you mix the two different kits to use the same ram channel together. Is slot 1 and slot 2 the same channel ram? Cause running two sticks to have dual channel you have to use slot 2 and slot 4, or slot 1 and slot 3 but they say not to use the slot closest to the cpu for just 2 sticks.
For Australia the shipping times aren't bad from AliExpress from what tech yes city says. Also the cases probably are cheaper its a shorter boat trip from china to Australia.
@@PCBuilderChannel Its just another marketplace like ebay. Techyescity has used AliExpress cpus for flipping he doesn't say it's been an issue. (it takes forever for delivery in us though and im east coast)
You should also do some build guides with Ali Express items. The case and cpu cost could have saved him $60+ bucks to add into a gpu, thus moving him into the 7600xt at at even lower price point
Got confused, clicked on a notification that said "PS5 Pro Vs $700 PC Build 🛑 PC Build Fails | Boost My Build *_S4:E9_* " To come to a video that's labeled "Boost My Build *_S4:E10_* " thought I had missed a video.
2019 CPUs were pretty decent, 9900K can be bought under $200 but then again, you can get 5800X for way cheaper new... If you have an i9 or i7 equivalent, then all you really need to do is upgrade your GPU
I have to replace my 6700 XT graphic card it died. I have had it for four years. It moved from Missouri to Louisiana. Been thinking strongly about two certain cards. I thought about the 7800 XT and the 7900 GRE. I know both of them are great choices. The 7900 XT is way out of my budget. Unless in November the price drop. I already have a great base Ryzen 5 7600x with 32 Gb of ddr5 6000 ram. I admit I don't like ASUS b650-plus wifi motherboard. Its okay just not my favorite. I have two NVME solid state drives that ain't having problems with that windows 11 update.
I disagree with the RAM choice on the $700 build, it's maybe $5 more to get a 3600mt 16gb kit, and you get 5-10% more performance vs the 3200 kit. Lots of videos out there from years ago to prove it. And 4 Dimms slow down the memory access, stick with two Dimms.
no, you should not leave and use stock cooler, its maybe fine for 4core cpu, 6 core not so much.. after 2 days you will be looking for a new cooler.. 7600xt is 300$ and is no better then 6600xt, it has 16gb of vram but its too slow to matter, its still a 1080p card, 5% faster but 100+$(50%) more expensive.. 16gb or ram is fine for a budget build, you dont want 4 sticks, it will drop memory speed to be stable, so whatever minor gain you get by 32gb it will probably be lost by lowering memory speed you dont want or need 1440p monitor unless you have at least 4070 super or 7800xt, especialy not for 7600xt..
Great budget build given todays prices and availability. Always buff up the GPU whenever possible. The 7600XT is a killer choice at this budget. Make cuts elsewhere.
noooo you dont need the 7600xt with that configuration. you have resizeable bar. I would do either a 6700xt or get the 32gb and faster cpu back on the 7600 non-xt. I know toms has the 7600xt as faster, but thats because they dont benchmark with resizeable bar. I would argue they're nearly the same if you benchmark on an optimized amd platform.
Jw and scorptec are decent Australian vendors along with pccasegear furthermore being Aussie myself I know that those three are good they tend to price match to each other and centrecom isn’t as good
One of my friends got a faulty am4 CPU on his hands, and wants to upgrade his rtx2060 GPU soon. He originally planned on replacing the whole system, but he cant afford it yet. I recommended him to just go for that 5700X3D, so that he could keep his Platfrom and get a functioning and fast system quickly and affordable, to save money towards a nice rtx4070 or something. So is that cpu worth it?
What would you consider to be "the second best" PC you could build? Basically, what is one step, or one level below the best of the best for gaming? I still have a 1060 laptop I bought for $260, but it's just not enough anymore. Great videos as always by the way!
@kelley09162 I don't have a budget. I guess I'd just say $3000 u.s.d. I'm aware that's well beyond what I'm asking. I used to build PCs for my friends and teachers in the 2000s and early 2010s, so I'm much more knowledgeable than most customers. I just want multiple professional opinions along with my own.
@@dewrito2325 then you'd be looking at a 7800X3D or 9800X3D when it comes out, along with a 7900XTX. Also you can do a build like that for way under 3000.
Hey there, I have a PC built 5 years ago give or take, basically I have Ryzen 3600X CPU with 6650 XT GPU, 2x 8gb ram, etc. I am wondering, to upgrade, should I save money and wait until i have something im satisfied with on an am5 upgrade or try to scour for a 5700x3d and gpu upgrade (for a few years)?
For that first build, looks right on the money but...I'd shake the couch cushions or cash in some recycle or bum off a buddy the extra $25 for 32 GB RAM :)
I found a 7800x3d for 399 which I definitely took the moment for. Now i seen the sweet spot for the cpu is a 4070 ti super and a 7900xt. But I was wondering if I’m able to have a leeway on a 4070 super instead. I would really have some insight cause I was thinking of buying parts on black friday
Hey, I have the R5 3600 with a 1660 ti and I want to do pretty much the same thing as the second build. But I have the asus prime b450 m-a micro atx motherboard. Would I be able to do the same upgrade and keep my board?
Maybe go amd if ultra ray tracing isnt a requirement..mind you i play cyberpunk with full rt on at about 110_120 fps with a r7800xt. Syart watching comparisons with cards in that bracket and observe pricing
My Ryzen 5 7600x keeps running at 95°C with a 360mm aio, high quality thermal paste. I read something about amd turbo something. Would you recommend lowering the voltage to reduce the temps, or is 95°c decent for gaming?
Technically it's fine, but you can help it by undervolting. Try in pbo advanced settings to set curve optimizer -5 for all cores and go in steps of -5 and see how low can you go. My 7600 can go to -25. X chips like 7600x and 7700x can be hard to cool down. Might also give cooler mounting a quick check, just in case.
Hi jason, i just bought the thermaltake gf1 (2024) which seems to be A tier on the tierlist but i have seen a lot of people giving it bad review, now I don’t know if i made a good purchase
Trying to upgrade my computer before monster hunter wilds comes out. It's the only series I've followed since I was a kid, I love the series! I have: X470 gaming pro carbon Ryzen 7 2700x Radeon 5700xt 8gb *Blower style* gpu Corsair vengeance 32gb clocked to 3200 850 watt power supply My case from 2013 I bet I could get away with a GPU and maybe a CPU upgrade. Would love to hear your ideas! I'd like to play in 1440p
2700X needs to go, as does the GPU. 5700X3D plus a RX 7700 XT or higher GPU would be great for 1440p. Avoid any GPU with a x8 PCIE connector (like any of the 7600 XT, and the 7700 XT and 7800 XT Acer models) as you only have Gen 3 on the X470.

Why would I not buy a 5700x3D? To buy anything better would require me to buy a whole new computer basically.
Exactly! In the upgrade build we compare going to the ultimate AM4 upgrade vs going AM5 and you'll see what we end up picking.

For building a new pc it makes sense but if you have a 5600g you can just spend a small amount slap a 5700x3d and call it a day.

OS is a small 128gb sata ssd, gaming is a 1tb nvme for larger games that stream textures, another 1tb sata ssd for smaller games and older ones that wouldnt really benefit from an nvme, and storage is a 12tb hdd for general storage of everything i dont use on a daily basis.
Top tier advice on the PS5 Pro 1st build. Not a bad price for what they got, but I like the idea of allowing for some future upgrades
Thank you! That's one of the major advantages of a PC over a console, the upgrade path (:
Since the 2nd guy used his "e-tier" psu for 5 years. I wonder does the PSU tier list even matter at budget builds with low power draw.
Anyway great value pc builds as always
Absolutely. You're rolling the dice with your components every time, budget gets not so budget real fast when you're replacing components sooner.
Personally I don't like to risk it but I hear your point! (;
As someone who had a cheap PSU start to catch fire, I won't be buying PSUs below C tier.
Comes with Unknown 9 Awakening. Id be more likely to buy that GPU if it didn’t come with that game.
Space Marines 2 is well reviewed!
I really like how you critiqued this build, well done. The RAM was a good touch, 16GB for 1080p/light1440p rig is more than enough, the CPU Cooler was a good note too and as you mentioned, this is one of the easier things to upgrade in the future; now for the case... I LOVE THIS CASE, for $60, it's one of the best one's I've built in so far, the aesthetics with the included RGB fans and hub are such a good deal! I don't like that its a negative pressure case but hey, for the money you can't complain too much. Good stuff.
i love your videos so much man. you inspired me to start building pcs again a few years back. neer stop doing what you love man! love ya dude.
Thanks so much! Love to hear that you came back to it, happy to help! And thank you so much for watching :))
@13:00 One thing about buying an indentical RAM kit later. Since its DDR4 it will be phasing out and you mite not be able to find an identical kit later.
But 16GB should be enough for now the GPU is the most important part. 🙂
You basically saved the guy with the $700 build limit. The 7600 gpu was the best choice for his build and I was amazed by how you saved him $8-10 here and there to enable him to upgrade his GPU. Nice job Jason and why i watch/sub to members section
Hey thanks Rand!! Really appreciate that feedback.
Cheers from Costa Rica!! Another great episode .
A big hello from the States! Happy to hear you enjoyed this BMB!
I can't thank you enough, learned a lot from just watching your videos and finally got my own PC soon which is mainly focused on ultra 1440p settings when it comes to gaming.
Also something that probably only a few noticed as you hid it really well... your hair looks amazing now, you upgraded it with the 4090 HairTX! 👍🏻
Thank you so much! And love that you've learned so much, thanks for watching! :)
Never knew that move to one and two when adding a new set of ram. I had that 1 and 3, and 2 and 4 burned into my brain years ago and never split up the old pair when adding a new one.
Rx 6800 is 350 on newegg. That is really hard to beat and man I know it didnt fit in the 700 dollar build but if you could just stretch another 40 bucks you could have an insane gpu that would do what 127 fps in that chart? Just wow prices are falling.
That's a great deal!
"5 years" == "ancient"; heh. Back when I was too busy to build, I had a custom desktop tower built for me by Silicon Mechanics (quod Google), so the hostname "Horta" was obvious. Horta lived for 17 years before she finally was killed by a Power Surge From Hell. At the end she was so decrepit that she was displaying 80x25 on a beige CRT, and I was still doing hardcore gaming: NetHack. I felt enough of an emotional attachment to her that I was sad when she died.
8:48 - I got my 4070 for 500€ last year 4 days before black friday instead of the original 700€+ that this card is still on sale for today, so hear what this man has to say.
To be fair, mine is a gigabyte card and they were having a PR nightmare with how their 30 series and some of their high-end 40 series were having cracked PCB's due to sagging last year, but for 500€ +5€ for a bracket? I took it. Don't regret it.
Therefore, if you have time and you don't really care about the 2 games coming with the 7600XT, waiting until November for your GPU sounds like a pretty good move. If you knew what you were doing, I'd wait for the deals and buy the whole PC in november, but since that's not the case, GPU sales is your best bet at saving a couple bucks without messing anything else up.
Pretty good gaming system and decent workstation for 715$ though. And you can go to 32 GB of RAM for another 28$ if you end up needing it, which is nice.
About the second build the motherboard may need a bios update for the 5700X3D to work. So best to update it to the latest version before changing the CPU.
Current Build:
Motherboard: ASUS Z370 TUF Gaming Plus
Processor: Intel i5 9600K
Memory: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (Corsair)
Graphics Card: Radeon RX 580 8GB
Storage: 500GB SSD (2.5" drive)
Power Supply: 750W PSU
Case: Antec Performance 1 FT
Upgrade Build I'm looking at doing:
CPU: Ryzen 7 9700X
Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming X870-PLUS WiFi
Memory: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (Corsair)
Graphics Card: Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB
Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD (PCIe 4.0) + 2TB NVMe SSD
Power Supply: 850W 80+ Gold
Case: Antec Performance 1 FT (keeping the great airflow and quality)
Cooling Dark Rock 5 pro I don't ever overclock.
The X870 ASUS isn't necessary. A B650 is all you need.
You can also go cheaper on the CPU Cooler with the Thermalright Phantom Spirit.
The rest looks good though.
Well, well, well. . . what do we have here? 1:19 is the first attempt at a console killer build since the launch of the current generation of consoles back in 2020 - at least, the first attempt that I'm aware of.
That second build for 1440p/4K was hilarious. I chuckled a lot.
bros roasting someone within the first 5 seconds. I'm dead 😭
Gently roasting is the name of the game with this series (:
@@PCBuilderChannel i love it
I always thumbs up your videos. I learn something new EVERY time. When I see you dropped a new video I have to watch immediately.
We love to hear it, thanks so much for all your support! Hope you keep enjoying all the content :D
i love seeing the upgrade build in this i built last year and ended up reusing my rx 590. Life happened before i bought the gpu
Always good to tackle a boost my upgrade! I know a lot of builders face similar choices
Scorptec and Centrecom are great to buy from. Not had experience with JW.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Been shopping Scorptec for 20+ years since it was run out of the founder's parents' house. 👍
Only 6 GB RAM on the graphic card!
I think about my first own PC (not from my parents) from 1997. AMD K6 200 MHz, 16 MB RAM (yes, I had a lot of RAM), 3,2 GB HDD, Matrox Mystique with 2 MB of VRAM.
I got a RX 7600 XT with that promotion and I paired it with a 5700X3D.
This GPU replaces a RX 6700 XT which was overkill for a backup PC.
Have you got a new camera? The video looks great either way!
Last week, the 5800x was $128 on Newegg.....thats a steal!!!!
Even though I would have never used it right now, I am kicking myself for not buying one.
What air cooler do you think is best to maintain a r7 7700x? I've been thinking abt buying Thermalright PS 120se
Yes the Thermalright Phantom Spirit is a good choice.
@@kelley09162 oki thanks
The first person definitely missed out on some amazing deals during the sales. $112 for the 5600X or combo deal for $195, $300 6750XT along with the $50 MSI 650w unit. We'll see what BF brings. Also, disagree with the PSU chosen by Jason. A 650w unit is minimum IMO with headroom for a 7700XT or perhaps 7800XT.
Thank you for cdkey discount
Happy to help!
My brother still with ryzen 5 3600 and 1080 ti. No plans to upgrade .... Good pc for almost everything
7900GRE were at $560 on Amazon and NewEgg.
Missed the opportunity to say "E for Evade."
Wondering what type of build you would recommend for a upgrading a multimedia pc.. One not specifically for gaming.. World of warcraft, NFS unbound and some other older titles. but for just kicking back on a home theater. Right now it's an 8 yr old Ryzen 1800x, 32 gigs ddr 4, taichi x370, 2 tb nvme m.2 & a 256gig m.2, rx7600 for its GPU. For what I do and the few games I play it does pretty well. Planning to carry over the 2tb m.2, power supply, case nzxt h440, GPu.
Depends on what your budget is
Love the video
Thank you!
Still rocking a x570, Ryzen 5 3600, rog strix 2070 super, and 16 gigs of 3200 ram. Debating if the am4 upgrade to a 5700x3d and a 7900xt is worth it or just go all in and build on the am5 platform. Seems kind of dumb to put money into am4 to upgrade with the prices still decently high
Could go either way for sure!
I've built a few rigs with the MSI B650N, it's just as solid as the 550.
Scorptec is one of my goto PC retailers in Australia. Also they seem to be the only ones here to stock n sell the XFX models. I have been eyeing the 7900GRE for a while.
That's great to hear!
Another very informative video. Thank you. When you are talking about adding RAM and say put original kit in slots 1 and 2 and the add on in 3 nd 4 isn't that the way pre-builts come? Looking to add 16gb's of the same kit so can I just add to the 2 open spots and not worry about it?
For installing the second ram kit at a later time can you explain the order of the ram sticks pls? Shouldnt each pair remain on their own ram channel together? Or does the order not matter if you mix the two different kits to use the same ram channel together. Is slot 1 and slot 2 the same channel ram? Cause running two sticks to have dual channel you have to use slot 2 and slot 4, or slot 1 and slot 3 but they say not to use the slot closest to the cpu for just 2 sticks.
From left to right, dimm 1 and dimm 3.
If you could factor in Microcenter bundles on some of these builds how would that affect the boosting?
For Australia the shipping times aren't bad from AliExpress from what tech yes city says. Also the cases probably are cheaper its a shorter boat trip from china to Australia.
Could be! I don't trust them in the states but could be different in your market
@@PCBuilderChannel Its just another marketplace like ebay. Techyescity has used AliExpress cpus for flipping he doesn't say it's been an issue. (it takes forever for delivery in us though and im east coast)
I reckon the Ryzen 5 7500f is also a great consideration for that price as well... if you can find it.
You should also do some build guides with Ali Express items. The case and cpu cost could have saved him $60+ bucks to add into a gpu, thus moving him into the 7600xt at at even lower price point
Hello Jason.. Great one as always..
I've 6700xt. And R5 5600 is it worth it to upgrade my cpu to 5700x3d?
What you think Jason, should i buy a 7900XT or wait till 8800XT come's out? Wanna do Raytraycing too
I go over this in depth in the video launched this morning so check that out. But I'd be tempted to buy over Black Friday for sure
Love the shirt!!!!😂
Thanks so much! And thanks for tuning in to BMB :D
Got confused, clicked on a notification that said "PS5 Pro Vs $700 PC Build 🛑 PC Build Fails | Boost My Build *_S4:E9_* " To come to a video that's labeled "Boost My Build *_S4:E10_* " thought I had missed a video.
lol love the intro
Glad you enjoyed!
2019 CPUs were pretty decent, 9900K can be bought under $200 but then again, you can get 5800X for way cheaper new...
If you have an i9 or i7 equivalent, then all you really need to do is upgrade your GPU
I have to replace my 6700 XT graphic card it died. I have had it for four years. It moved from Missouri to Louisiana. Been thinking strongly about two certain cards. I thought about the 7800 XT and the 7900 GRE. I know both of them are great choices. The 7900 XT is way out of my budget. Unless in November the price drop. I already have a great base Ryzen 5 7600x with 32 Gb of ddr5 6000 ram. I admit I don't like ASUS b650-plus wifi motherboard. Its okay just not my favorite. I have two NVME solid state drives that ain't having problems with that windows 11 update.
Both are good choices with that 7600X.
I disagree with the RAM choice on the $700 build, it's maybe $5 more to get a 3600mt 16gb kit, and you get 5-10% more performance vs the 3200 kit. Lots of videos out there from years ago to prove it. And 4 Dimms slow down the memory access, stick with two Dimms.
Damn the way 5 years old build got a new life is insane.
AMD did great job for upgradability of AM4
Thank you!
I'm watching this on a 165hz 24" 1440p koorui and it would look really nice next to his AOC A$282.52
no, you should not leave and use stock cooler, its maybe fine for 4core cpu, 6 core not so much.. after 2 days you will be looking for a new cooler..
7600xt is 300$ and is no better then 6600xt, it has 16gb of vram but its too slow to matter, its still a 1080p card, 5% faster but 100+$(50%) more expensive..
16gb or ram is fine for a budget build, you dont want 4 sticks, it will drop memory speed to be stable, so whatever minor gain you get by 32gb it will probably be lost by lowering memory speed
you dont want or need 1440p monitor unless you have at least 4070 super or 7800xt, especialy not for 7600xt..
Man is like the PC Nerd alternative reality of Scotty Kilmer. Rev up your engines 😅
Great budget build given todays prices and availability. Always buff up the GPU whenever possible. The 7600XT is a killer choice at this budget. Make cuts elsewhere.
Well said!
noooo you dont need the 7600xt with that configuration. you have resizeable bar. I would do either a 6700xt or get the 32gb and faster cpu back on the 7600 non-xt. I know toms has the 7600xt as faster, but thats because they dont benchmark with resizeable bar. I would argue they're nearly the same if you benchmark on an optimized amd platform.
Jw and scorptec are decent Australian vendors along with pccasegear furthermore being Aussie myself I know that those three are good they tend to price match to each other and centrecom isn’t as good
One of my friends got a faulty am4 CPU on his hands, and wants to upgrade his rtx2060 GPU soon. He originally planned on replacing the whole system, but he cant afford it yet. I recommended him to just go for that 5700X3D, so that he could keep his Platfrom and get a functioning and fast system quickly and affordable, to save money towards a nice rtx4070 or something. So is that cpu worth it?
Yes it is and would be a good choice for him
What would you consider to be "the second best" PC you could build?
Basically, what is one step, or one level below the best of the best for gaming? I still have a 1060 laptop I bought for $260, but it's just not enough anymore. Great videos as always by the way!
Depends on what your budget is
@kelley09162 I don't have a budget. I guess I'd just say $3000 u.s.d. I'm aware that's well beyond what I'm asking. I used to build PCs for my friends and teachers in the 2000s and early 2010s, so I'm much more knowledgeable than most customers. I just want multiple professional opinions along with my own.
@@dewrito2325 then you'd be looking at a 7800X3D or 9800X3D when it comes out, along with a 7900XTX.
Also you can do a build like that for way under 3000.
@kelley09162 I can afford a rtx 4090, but i know there's diminishing value. This isn't about budget. This is about getting an Olympic silver medal PC
@@dewrito2325 that's why I say 7900XTX. A 4090 would be a Gold Metal GPU.
The 7600 xt is not listed in the compatibility list of the motherboard . Wont there be any issues ?(looking for a similar build)
Was wondering what PC build you would suggest for a MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED?
Answered elsewhere!
Hey there, I have a PC built 5 years ago give or take, basically I have Ryzen 3600X CPU with 6650 XT GPU, 2x 8gb ram, etc.
I am wondering, to upgrade, should I save money and wait until i have something im satisfied with on an am5 upgrade or try to scour for a 5700x3d and gpu upgrade (for a few years)?
If you can go 5700X3D thats a great option. It also might go on sale over prime day so keep an eye out for that
For that first build, looks right on the money but...I'd shake the couch cushions or cash in some recycle or bum off a buddy the extra $25 for 32 GB RAM :)
I found a 7800x3d for 399 which I definitely took the moment for. Now i seen the sweet spot for the cpu is a 4070 ti super and a 7900xt. But I was wondering if I’m able to have a leeway on a 4070 super instead. I would really have some insight cause I was thinking of buying parts on black friday
You can but Jason would prefer higher. The 7900GRE would also work here.
Good stuff. 👍✌😉💪>🐈⬛
Bear approves :) Thanks for tuning in!
How can I submit my pc build?

6:30 The Corsair CX is very similar to the CV series. That's what I've gathered from the Cultists discord.
Hey, I have the R5 3600 with a 1660 ti and I want to do pretty much the same thing as the second build. But I have the asus prime b450 m-a micro atx motherboard. Would I be able to do the same upgrade and keep my board?
Yes
I have a 5600x and want to upgrade my gpu to the 4070 super for 1080p for Off the Grid game. Thoughts?

Maybe go amd if ultra ray tracing isnt a requirement..mind you i play cyberpunk with full rt on at about 110_120 fps with a r7800xt. Syart watching comparisons with cards in that bracket and observe pricing
I wanna see you with a Cool Buzz Cut
Weeks late to this party Jason, but appreciated non the less 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
When should be the black friday sales?
They often start as early as November 1st then peak over Black Friday - Cyber Monday. But some of the best deals do sometimes sell out by then
My Ryzen 5 7600x keeps running at 95°C with a 360mm aio, high quality thermal paste. I read something about amd turbo something. Would you recommend lowering the voltage to reduce the temps, or is 95°c decent for gaming?
Technically it's fine, but you can help it by undervolting. Try in pbo advanced settings to set curve optimizer -5 for all cores and go in steps of -5 and see how low can you go. My 7600 can go to -25. X chips like 7600x and 7700x can be hard to cool down. Might also give cooler mounting a quick check, just in case.
I will be building my first PC next month, waiting for the Black Friday sales - only part I have is a new Ryzen 7 7800X3D cpu
Glad you snagged that! Hard to get these days. Check out our 7800X3D build guide if that's helpful planing your list. Happy building!

Hi jason, i just bought the thermaltake gf1 (2024) which seems to be A tier on the tierlist but i have seen a lot of people giving it bad review, now I don’t know if i made a good purchase

I bet I could get away with a GPU and maybe a CPU upgrade. Would love to hear your ideas! I'd like to play in 1440p
2700X needs to go, as does the GPU. 5700X3D plus a RX 7700 XT or higher GPU would be great for 1440p. Avoid any GPU with a x8 PCIE connector (like any of the 7600 XT, and the 7700 XT and 7800 XT Acer models) as you only have Gen 3 on the X470.
@@PCBuilderChannel thank you for the response! That was wicked fast! Would that motherboard bottleneck anything if I'm able to push to a high end GPU?
