kids when online school started: yes dad I do need a GeForce RTX 3080 to run zoom
Turn on ray tracing to see their faces better
u joke but i'm on an old mobile A9 and zoom runs better than chrome with multiple tabs ;)
I realized i needed a better setup when i was getting 11 fps in class :(
24 gb of VRam to make sure it will render well.
Yes dad, I will carry my PC tower, monitor and all cables to school every day. Battery? Eh, what is battery?
Only thing you missed is that blue lights make your computer run cooler, red lights make it go faster, while green are a compromise between the two.
green is more energy efficient

Lol yeah
😂 yeah. Crazy how people buy with speed of light
First time in my life I want to and am financially able to have a nice gaming PC. Problem is you can't buy anything right now. Kind of f*ing sad...
same bro, in the exact same position :(
I was able to get a 3060 ti by lining up at microcenter about 2 hours before opening on a truck delivery day.
Also for cpu you can get the ryzen 5 3600 and you'll be just fine, no need to get a newer cpu. Its always in stock too.
Yup, what pisses me off the most is that shops keep putting up products that are out off stock
Gef Tep I just ordered my first part to my first pc ever. It was the ryzen 5 3600. Also getting the b450 tomahawk max as my mobo. Now to try to find a 300 ish GPU that’s runs all the games I want!

@@murkdh Thanks for the advice. Really appreciated. I am returning the 3060 and Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II. Am going for the 3080 and Noctua NH-D15 instead.
In my opinion, if someone is planning to be a PC builder and gamer in the long term, purchasing quality components to use again might matter. This means quality fans such as the ones from Noctua, or a good practical airflow case you may use in many builds. I ended up spending actually more by not doing so in the beginning.
aio if ur buying such QUALITY components...
@@GamesForNoobs I agree. I use an Arctic LF II 360. Works like a charm with NF-A12s. Pump PWM needs to be reduced just little bit from 100% to solve the VRM fan noise though.
@@thomasb282Obviously you won’t be noticing any benefits from case fans if you take the side panels off
Although if you’re just going to run them like that I suggest an open case, since buying a normal one just to take the panel off is wasteful
Totally agree with you on fans and cases, but beyond that, most of it is not going to be compatible going to the next gen anyway.
@@GamesForNoobs naw man, AIOs are really bad value, very costly to repair, and don't really give THAT much higher cooling than a good air cooler

I upgraded to a 5600x last week and got a pretty good deal... I picked up a b550 Aorus master motherboard for a little over $100 US and the cpu for $290 US (this is converted from Australian dollars). I already had all the other parts including some fast 3200mhz cl16 ram. A pretty good deal given the price of computer components these days.
Nice! Happy building
Which website offers best prices for the CPU and GPU in Australia?
What was your previous CPU? Was the performance upgrade obvious? I have a Ryzen 7 3700X and might upgrade if it makes a big difference but my cpu is already pretty fast and never runs above 60%

@@Darkhalo314 well at least lesson learned for you
I would say one component I severely underestimated was the importance of the Hard Drive - if you have insane components with a HDD instead of an SSD, you will suffer big time on some games when it comes to LOD and textures popping in super late. Took me ages to solve that mystery when playing Kingdom Come Deliverance and an SSD fixed it immediately. Speedy storage actually does matter but again, I'm sure there's an art to spending appropriate vs ridiculous in the same vein as a motherboard.
this one is no brainer... who builds PC with HDD instead of SSD in last 3-4 years...
@@BrucePain-_- bulk storage? SSDs are still bad value for money when you need absolute volume, although far less so than it used to be. As for who'd need that much storage, audio/video recordings take up huge space. Let's calculate because I've got nothing better to do.
A 10 minute audio recording at 48kHz sample rate and 24 bit depth is over 86MB in mono, multiplied by amount of tracks you record which for drums is 10-20 microphones depending on size of kit and setup. A 10 minute recording project of drums is 860MB-1.6GB. If you also add a normal band setup with 2 guitars (each guitar doubled per industry standard), bass, and two vocals (usually also doubled), you're sitting at 19-30 tracks, at so 1.6-2-4GB per 10 minutes of recording.
4k60fps video recordings are also HUGE in size, at around 750MB per minute. A music video project for said 10 minute song in 4k60fps is at least 7.5GB in size. Usually it's at least double because of the recorded material that doesn't make the final cut.
Both cases disregard retakes which usually aren't deleted beforehand if at all either, and we're still talking minimum of 16.6GB in total for 10 minutes of finished product.
You abosolutelly need a SSD for your OS. Tho if you can afford, installing only SSDs is ideal.
.
@@TheEmolano Or people can do both by using SSD for OS and gaming, while some HDDs for storage purposes. A bigger case and high w PSU will be needed though

Greta: HOW DARE YOU!

Its pwitty colors! Ram lights up yay!
I don't upgrade my PC too often. I had 1x16gb ram in my PC for 5 years and it ran fine. Yes I recognized I'm a filthy casual, finally price for the same ram drop significantly and got a 2nd 16gb last year. I planned my build with future upgrades in mind. That allowed me to enjoy it a lot sooner.
Thanks for this video. I recently got into PC gaming and bought a pre built PC which came with some very decent and also not so decent conponents. I'm now looking to upgrade about half of them this upcoming summer and the more research I do, the more my estimated cost goes down (still meeting my standards, of course)
P.S. If any of you watching this video are debating wether to build your first PC or buy one pre built, 100% build your own. It is a bit intimidating, but it took me an afternoon to figure out all the basics. I bought mine as an impulse buy on black friday. I got my money's worth, but I didn't get all of what I wanted, which is the best that you can expect from a prebuilt imo.
An afternoon to learn to build a basic pc?? Lol. You had some “know-how” if you knew they needed to be upgraded. Coming from someone who knew nothing on the inside of a computer, it took about 2 weeks of intense learning to feel confident building a custom loop PC. It was probably like 50 hours of studying over those 2 weeks.
@@drblitz3092 Custom loop is completely different from an air-cooled PC. Air-cooled is not that hard
@@mikethompson7046 I didn’t know what a gpu,cpu, motherboard was. Didn’t know where to start. Or what gpu/motherboard/cpu model numbers meant. I was strictly a console gamer until 3 months ago. Ya took me 2 weeks of intense research for a complete newbie to understand most things.
Hey can one of you answer a really easy question
I want to build my own but one thing im confused about is what do i do about the OS?
Like if i buy a PRE-BUILT pc then windows comes already installed
But if i build my own from the ground up how do i get windows on there without having to buy it separately?
@Gorilla Pimp I already had a license key that came with my prebuilt. I know there are ways that you can get Windows license key pretty cheap. Just be careful where you get it from.
I have a USB boot drive, which is just a USB flash drive that has the OS on it that I can use to upload it onto a computer if I have to, but I'd still need the product key. There are guides online on how to do this, it's pretty simple. I'm just not that good at explaining things. I think you can use a product key from an old computer you don't use, even if it's not Windows 10 or 11. Just make sure it's deactivated on your old computer.
If you're only option is to buy a new product key, consider using Linux OS instead. It's a perfectly good OS. It is a bit daunting to download and use at first, but there are flavors of it that are quite easy to learn and a ton of guides on how to install and use many different flavors of Linux. Many people prefer Linux. I have used many different versions of it at work and school and am constantly debating wether or not I should switch over to Linux or have it duel booted on my computer.
TL;DGAS You can download Windows onto a USB and install it that way. There are places where you can get a cheap product key, or you can use a key from an old laptop or something. If you're considering spending over 100 bucks on a product key, Linux OS is a free alternative to Windows OS. You can find guides on how to do any of this online, including here on TH-cam.
I hope I pointed you in the right direction. Goodluck.

Hey Jayz, thanks for the post. perhaps one way to look at it is to split the budget in rough % for each component eg 50-60% for GFX, 25-30%% for cpu, 10-15% for memory ( or whatever ) and 35% for mobo. that may give us a way to balance the budget on a scalable value build. it would give us a rough framework for a 500-1500 dollar build on the main 4 components. Just some thoughts
That adds up to 120-140% but I get your point... Which is different from the video's point: independent of budget, spend sensibly on the least important parts, THEN spend the rest on the GPU. More budget doesn't mean to spend more on the mainboard.

@@saaksharshah1083 well first of all if you can, dont get a gtx 1650 super, get a gtx 1660ti, it is far better (check the benchmarks) and not so much more expensive and it will actually play games for 5 years at high settings (at full hd). As long as motherboards go, just buy the cheapest one, they both support M.2 and high enough ram frequency. Just make sure that you choose the right one for your gpu.
@@saaksharshah1083 Get a 3300x if you're gaming, it's much better for gaming. Get a b450 like MSI tomahawk as the a320m is a very weak VRM board and doesn't have any more room for future support. The first iteration of Ryzen boards is bad versus at least second gen. I'd recommend a Ryzen 3300x if you can find it, and 3600 cl16 Gskill @ 80$ for 16GB. With a 1660ti you should be good for a bit for gaming at 1080p, however, that's not always true as graphics tend to rapidly advance out of nowhere. Future proof doesn't exist.
@@AnGrYGrEeKGuY my budget is 55,000 Rs (750$) including all the peripherals. 1660ti is for sure better but I have to work according to the budget.

Excellent sound advice. Last build was 10 years ago and still going strong but now time for a new rig. Happened to be an AMD set up. All the best Graham.
Been following you for some time, and I really do like your style. I know this is an older video, but I'm pretty much watching/learning everything I can before I start my own build. The reason I went back to this one is because of the title, where to save money. This brings me to graphics cards. Most everywhere I look today (Best Buy, Amazon, New Egg, etc.) for RTX 30x series (or even 40x) are either out of stock or crazy over priced. Then, when checking out new drivers for my existing setup (RTX 3060ti) I noticed Nvidia had a products tab. It appears I can purchase a new 3090ti for $1,100. I've never seen them listed as a 'store' and I was looking for your thoughts. Any reason why I should not purchase from them directly?

Optimizing storage speed hardware can save a bit. I remember going ssd for the first time in load speeds. However, spending 4TB in SSD vs a solid HDD is a big price difference.
10:10 Now hear me out.. There was a deal on the 32 gigs
Naaah. I did it for the meme. Aways under 40% ram utilisation.
there is no mistake in getting 16GB dual channel and then slapping in another 16 in the future right?
@@Daniel-dj7fh no but it seems unececary for a while it might be unneeded until after ddr5 comes out
Likely DDR5 will have higher capacity too, so you might as well just wait until then and get more capacity, more speed at lower power usage rather than overspending on obsolete over-upgrades
@@Daniel-dj7fh 4x8 is slower than 2x16, because dual channel won't work with 4 sticks. Severely limiting ram speed. I would advise against it

Just use Edge until Chrome gets its shit worked out. Runs the same with a lot less ram usage.
I get such a kick out of not having to close firefox and its many tabs to play a game.

@@racerex340 Edge is chromium based, so pretty sure that it still usually works with all the Chrome stuff. I mean, I'm using some pretty off the wall stuff that wasn't made for Edge like MAL-sync.

Jay "Nobody needs 32gb of memory for gaming "
FS2020: "hold my beer"
Not for gaming okay but for google chrome you need at least 128gb
Right. Nobody needs 64 GB for gaming, but 32 GB has one use right now.
I have 16gig of memory, I will agree that I have never seen it max out until I launch FS2020 then it maxes out.
well if u game + stream with amd graphics + record + are on chrome believe me u'll need 32gig. Took just in case i need them so i don't need to up them until ddr5.
DCS multiplayer is also notoriously heavy on RAM.
I basically run it at 95% or higher RAM usage with my 16GB.
The 8GB of VRAM is obviously also maxed out, at medium isch settings

It’s a specific case, but Escape from Tarkov definitely benefits from 32GB of RAM. Also with the number of people Twitch streaming or capturing, RAM overhead is more important than in the past for most people. But the speed rule definitely makes sense to this day.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I actually stream, record (running a 16 channel digital studio mixer), play music, Discord and game all at the same time on two monitors. In which case a person needs much more RAM than 16 GB. HOWEVER, if you are not one of these people- 16-32GB is more than adequate. And if all you do is surf the web and watch TH-cam videos (like most Apple fans lol), you don't even need 16GB of RAM.

His guideline of spending no more than the cost of the CPU on the motherboard. Lol, that should probably be more like don't spend more than half the cost of your CPU. On the Intel side, be careful spending too little such as base model ASRock Z490 boards
Right. spoken like a true overclocking enthusiast. I'm here with my $500 CPU and a $150 mobo. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. (Have since switched to itx and it cost $200 now)

What I wouldn't cheap out on is power supply (good quality) and case (good airflow)
But with cases you can't get any better airflow than "completely unobstructed airflow", i.e. no case, which is free.
Agree. A cheap PSU will cost you more in the long run and may very well burn your house down. With cases, the problem I have with the really cheap ones, is that they usually have a very rough finish (meaning you cut yourself a lot on them) and no quality of life features like drive trays or cable management. Usually, spending just like $50 more can get you something that's way more easier to work with.
@@nathangamble125 not really true because the air pushed by fans tends to expand outward instead of having a confined directional flow so it's better to have shielded circulation on certain components to maintain the intake force. Otherwise you're losing cooling potential to the ambient air space

I guess the Cabinet is another point where many people have to know the sweet spot as there are many choices in the market nowadays, but to choose the right one is often a tough decision to make for many people, between the one with many lights, the one with spacious room and/or the one with enough ventilation to cool your components. As a builder I have to evaluate this in order to check if everything will be fine once I start the build otherwise if a customer makes a wrong decision then I will immediately identify the issue.
