1:11 That’s funny because I now live a block away from Microcenter. My first visit I had to drive 30 miles and now it’s within walking distance. Glad to see you uploading again :p
Am4 is still great and super budget friendly if you don’t have a lot of cash. I’m still rocking am4 with an R7 5800x3d and have no complaints. Great vid Kyle and glad to see you back.
Hey Kyle! I was the Korean dude you ran into at that MicroCenter! It was a pleasure meeting you in person and the build for my sister was a success! 😁👍
@@disguiseddv8ant486 I saw that and was disappointed that Bitwit didn't point him in that direction until I realized that deal was likely not available at the time of filming.
Getting a bigger case than needed is something I always recommend.. My case fits my 6800 nicely but I was planning on getting a 6950XT when they started dropping in price but I have to be careful because I'll be hitting right at the length that some of the models aren't going to fit.
There’s a huge market for content in this price range. Everyone loves the new stuff but with every build being 13900’s and 4090’s most people are looking to see low to mid-ranger builds to mix it up.
No kidding, I'm looking to build a relatively up to date intel unit and the 12600k is around $200 which I think is the sweet spot for a budget CPU. The 13600k is reasonable but personally I don't see it as worth the ~50% increase in price when trying to build a "budget" gaming computer. Both support DDR4 & 5 so you can cheap out with a LGA1700 DDR4 board now and upgrade it when the LGA1700 DDR5 boards come down.
@@jtully87 for $1,000 if you went used you could easily get a 12600k/13400, 32GB ram, 2TB NVMe, and I'd say a 3070 or maybe a 3080. A bit disappointed in a 3060ti for a grand....but that's what you get for buying new
@jtully87 Your last point is technically true, but in reality, it wouldn't be a worthwhile upgrade to move your 12600k into a new MoBo just for DDR5. At the point an upgrade to DDR5 is what you want, you'd be better off just buying a new CPU that can make better use of the higher speeds of DDR5.
@@paulmeyer1001 id wait for Black friday deals , 40 series cards and 7000 series havent come down in price for a few months , there were $800 7900XTXs , and $1300 RTX 4090s not long ago
Yay, a blackout build!!! I love seeing these! RGB is great and all, but if you don't really look at your computer while gaming then do you really need it? LOL
The occasional build, once a month or so, seems to lighten your spirits up a bit(wit) especially if it's a budget oriented build. It'll probably be a better indicator of prices on a month to month basis for viewers instead of an exhaustive weekly or daily grind.
Yep, we did the same thing with a friend of ours PC recently, went 3060 Ti bc the price vs how well it performs against the new stuff, it just made more sense. Also, good to see you back on this channel, been enjoying the podcasts as well!
Good observation. It is very challenging to "blackout" a build nowadays. I had to settle for an MSI Mag Z790 Tomahawk, which has its fair share of its issues that is widely known among customers. I decided to go with it anyway due to it being all black and price being at least $100 less than most Z790 motherboards. The first Mag Z790 Tomahawk was DOA. Second one seems to be running well, so far.
Yeah, I've been to that store many times. Almost every time I visit California nowadays. And it's great when the staff is friendly but with them being knowledgeable too, I've had many conversations with them (and probably wasted some of their time talking) and I always spend way more than I plan to.
I definitely will feel super comfortable whenever I go to the Micro Center to get the parts t build my first PC. We were there once, in 2020, but only because we were on the way hope from a trip to Florida and were driving the long scenic route home, around 20 hours, and passed right near one near Cleveland OH, so we decided to check it out, got a mouse which I actually needed, and an outlet adapter for our car. The mouse still works like a charm to this day too. It was Inland, their store brand if I remember right. It was $20, and feels amazing. Just like top of the line mice.
I just got back from Microcenter myself! And it’s an hour away for me too! That song was SPOT ON! So I had to screen cap it for every time I go to Microcenter in the future. Thanks for the song and video, Kyle!
I dont think its that costly to go with AM5. Microcenter has a bundle with the 7700X, MSI B650-P wifi mobo, and 32gb of DDR5 ram for 399. I got that and picked up an open box 6750 XT Red Devil card for 365. Picked up everything else for the build and came in just over 1k. Also got 2 copies of Starfield for the GPU/CPU purchase. 1k is totally doable for AM5 and is a really nice system.
Still rocking a 5700x and 6600xt. Forza horizon 5 all high settings using FSR performance (1080p>4k) locked 60 fps. Really happy with it over a Series X or PS5. All the older games I play run native 4k pretty much max settings like BF4. Would love to try BattleBit when I get a chance I feel like I could run it pretty well. I care more about gameplay than graphics but I want the best graphics the game has that I can run reasonably.
As soon as Microcenter released the 5600X3D they raised prices on the cheaper 5000 series to up sell it. For example, they raised the 5600 non X from $119 to $158. They also removed the retail version with cooler and replaced it with an OEM version with no cooler on the 5600X3D release day. Nice people, they made the exclusive a negative. Never fan boy for a company.
Bruh 5600x3d is faster than 5600x and on par with the more expensive 7600x. Idk why you're complaining that much about stock cooler. And it's meant as an upgrade for whomever is still using old am4 CPU, so most people who buy the 5600x3d will already have the old cooler. It makes perfect sense. I don't see anything wrong with what they did with the product and i think you're just hating on the brand because you're a fan of the other brand and one of your fav youtuber didn't go with team blue in this video.
@@benedictjajo Why would I pay $230 for a 5600X3D when my mid range GPU is maxed out by a $119 5600 non X? That's $110 more with little benefit to my build. That's a lot of wasted money to a value oriented PC builder. I would love to have a 5600X3D, its an amazing CPU only 10 minutes away but, I don't have a GPU powerful enough to benefit muchfrom it. I needed a budget 5000 series upgrade not one of the fastest CPUs on the market. They removed the $119 5600 retail version that came with a fan and replaced it with the same exact CPU, a 5600, only now its $158 and no fan. Its not worth buying the costly OEM version for me so what other options make sense for the prices? You would think a less expensive 5700X, 5800X, or even go all out on a 5800X3D for a bit more but, the day the 5600X3D released they raised prices on all those as well. It was clearly manipulation designed to funnel an up sell to the 5600X3D or 5800X3D in terms of value for money. All the Ryzen CPUs are amazing products, I have been on AM4 for 5 years and all AMD for 20 years, it cost less. That's why I was looking to upgrade my AM4 build that day. I love the products. Its the shady sales tactics of Microcenter I have an issue with. I could get another 3-5 years for only $119 giving me a decade on the same platform for a total cost just over $800. That's f*cking amazing value and its why I think the AM4 is the best value platform up to this point in DIY PC tech history hands down. Imagine my surprise when i get to the store and the item I wanted went up $40 in a day and no longer comes with a free cooler. Get it now?
@unholydonuts If you are in a store and there are two of the same exact product are you going to buy the one that cost $50 more and comes with less accessories? I think you just might just to keep up the troll. Do you work for Microcenter?
I LOVE that you're doing things on here again/still. Hope that you are in a great place and this is as fun for you making it as it is for us watching it!
I'm very happy you are back, man! Linus keeps demoting himself, Steve's hair started to get more gray, Jay misses his old videos. You are my new old breath of fresh content! :)
He's advising building a new PC on a dead platform, that costs virtually the same as the new platform which probably has 4 more years of upgrading available. I guess MC needs some help moving those 5600x3D's. Which would be great as upgrades to existing builds. I'll stick with Steve & HUB
There is a $399 Microcenter bundle for AM5, you get a Ryzen 7 7700X, B650 mobo and 32GB of 6000Mhz CL36 RAM. Price-wise it's basically not that far off a similar 5600X3D build.
bitwit is a noob no research done look at that nvme he picked? 150 dollars for a 670p 1tb is fucking mad so i mean by bitwits standard am5 is not an option xD
I'm in Canada so the pricing is shown in CDN which with PC parts is roughly +40% to USD I didn't utilize bundle offers either. 7600x $320 (13600KF +$60) 4060 $400 (3060ti +$50) MSI Tomahawk B650 $270 (Intel Z790 -$20) 32GB 5600 Corsair ram $120 2TB WD sn850x Gen4 $150 AK400 cooler $45 (zero dark +$10) 750w gold Corsair PSU $95 Lian Li 216 black case $140 Total $1540 (to $1640) USD approx $1100 (to +$60ish) Best estimates based upon current local pricing. Can save more money on SSD, Memory, and case as well. Same or better performance, better upgrade path DDR5 2TB gen4 SSD His bill does not show the 1TB gen3 SSD (+$149.99?? ) But total is +$75 from the 7 items shown. 1/2 price SSD not shown?? I don't see any value in building AM4 from scratch these days. Guess this was an advertisement for the 5600x3d
1:12 Sometimes I forget how luck I am. I lived 15 mins from MC, bought a house and now I live 8 mins from it. If that one ever closes, there's another one 40 mins from it.
I hope you have enjoyed your time off from the channel. I had to take a double look to realize this was a new video. Nice to see you making some videos again. Feel free to do it at your own pace!
That build is super CLEAN! And as far as being worried that it's not on the current platform, tell your friend not to worry. AM4 still has a LOT of life left in it. And the GPU is also totally fine even for being 2.5 years old. I'm on a 2080 super and even at 1440p it's still doing an amazing job with the games i like to play. My only suggestion for your friend with that PC would be to undervolt the gpu. I did a quick undervolt on my 2080S and lowered power draw by around 60-70 watts while still getting the same performance and in some cases even improved performance.
I somewhat recently built a AM5 machine for around 1100 but with a reused case and a last gen gpu. And it has a lot of storage because I reused my large harddrives from my last one and only changed the boot drive going for my first nvme with this build.
Build a 1000 euro build last week: RX 6700 XT, Ryzen 5 7600X, 32GB 5200MHz RAM, 1TB NVME SSD, Arctic 34 Esports Duo, 650W gold Cooler master MWE, Asrock B650 and Deepcool CC560. Performs amazing very good lows aswell. 32Gb might be slightly overkill but i think not for long as I see sdome AAA titles go over this already and it was not more than 30 euro extra. Nice future proof build.
My dad had his birthday this week and passed on the same day. The messed up thing is that my computer gpu died the same day as well. And all my moms plants at her house. Sad week for me indeed. Remember to say "I love you" to your parents now before it is too late.
I find it funny that on the performance showoff, despite having picked a team green GPU "because raytracing", no raytracing was shown... Feel like that's a little silly. That said, good video. Happy to see you back. :D
I built an AM5 ($1200) system (7900)and an AM4 ($450) system (5500) at around same time. I feel the AM4 system was a lot more stable/optimized with Windows 11. The AM5 system was working great but at certain times it felt a little glitchy.
Man.. I'm 4 miles from the Microcenter in Minnesota... It's so dangerous, but my friends think it's weird I can walk in there and not buy anything. I'm like.. Yeah man, I'm just out for exercise.
I miss building PC's. I build close to 100 of them while at Fry's. Not so many in the later months I was there (2018-2020) since Fry's had nothing to sell...
havent been touching or kept up with building pc's ever since the peak of mining a few years ago. been watching these tech tubers such as bitwit and jayz2cents again and i can say that i want to build again.
Kyle, I'm glad to have you back making content for the channel. But I have to comment on the $150 spent for a 1TB NVMe drive when companies like Samsung and Western Digital are practically giving away their 1TB drives for under $100.
I'm not even sure what's going on here? The SSD Kyle selected is now to be had for 40$ at Microcenter. The 2TB Version for 70$. Is it possible that they had absolutely no discount or rebate going on at the time of filming and sold these for MSRP from 2 years ago? And why would you choose this one when other reputable brands sell their 1TB Model for 100$ or less? Or does the sticker only state the MSRP and rebates and discount are subtracted on checkout? EDIT: Seems like Rebates are applied on checkout since the mainboard and memory at 6:42 are less than their stickers say. But the SSD is missing in that 1038.62$ total for the system^^
When I was a little kid I had a cousin who lived like 30 minutes from Disney World. Felt the same way about him then, that I feel as an adult about people that live near Microcenter.
I had picked up a Zotac 3060 Ti on Amazon about 3 months ago and then about a week later MSI launched the 4060 Ti Ventus 2X Black 8GB OC for the exact same price. It depends on the 40-series card you are looking at when determining if they are overpriced.
4060ti are going to be $399 or more.. you can get a 3060ti for around $300... if you paid $399 for a 3060ti you either overpaid or bought it right before the 4060ti launch... there are not going to be many 3060ti's at $399 anymore.
On June 20th, 2023 the RTX 4060 Ti Ventus 2X Black 8G OC and the ZOTAC RTX 3060 Ti Twin Edge OC LHR 8GB GDDR6 were exactly the same price. I know because I returned the Zotac and bought the MSI and there was no refund and no payment due. Whether those prices have changed since then, it was not the case at the time. I was simply illustrating that the 40-series cards aren't always overpriced. Also, I was wrong about the timeframe in my previous comment. It was June 7th and June 20th.
@@nomisukeindustries Oh dang. I see what you were saying... yeah thats crap that it takes a little for prices to adjust and you could end up paying the same for an older card.. though with the memory bus size of the 4060ti it might be a better idea to grab the 3060ti lol. Buyt I do stand by my meaning that if you're that close to a new GPU launch you should probably wait a month or two before pulling the trigger on a new GPU.. the prices were the same when you bought them but had you waited a couple weeks that 3060ti would have went down by $50 or more... thats more what I was getting at.

Same or better performance, better upgrade path
DDR5
2TB gen4 SSD
His bill does not show the 1TB gen3 SSD (+$149.99?? )
But total is +$75 from the 7 items shown. 1/2 price SSD not shown??
I don't see any value in building AM4 from scratch these days. Guess this was an advertisement for the 5600x3d
1:12 Sometimes I forget how luck I am. I lived 15 mins from MC, bought a house and now I live 8 mins from it. If that one ever closes, there's another one 40 mins from it.
That’s a damn clean build. Looks really good. That montage music was a banger. Good to see you building. Always good stuff
so good to see you back on the channer Kyle, i've missed watching your pc videos # UK fan
I'm lucky here in Atlanta we have 2 and I stay only 25mins away from 1 the other is about 35mins away from me
i see Kyle post, i watch. it’s that simple.
so good to see you back making videos. THE KING IS BACK!!
9:51 "Umm actually" that is a spring Kyle. It's called a flat spring... Sorry I couldn't resist, it's good to see you back Kyle.
HES BACKKK! we missed you man
and we’re very proud of u for making the hard decision of taking a well deserved break^
hope to see you more!
good to see you again Kyle in this channel :)
Very glad to see you back doing tech! You are a great and down to earth tech channel!
we love you man its good to see you back. always love to see you in my news feed.
I'm in the same boat building my new blackout build, was really surprised to see RGB components being cheaper than non RGB!
Welcome back, Kyle. Have missed your entertaining and informative vids.
I hope you have enjoyed your time off from the channel. I had to take a double look to realize this was a new video. Nice to see you making some videos again. Feel free to do it at your own pace!
Back panel cable management is super clean, don't even need any individual cable ties.
That build is super CLEAN! And as far as being worried that it's not on the current platform, tell your friend not to worry. AM4 still has a LOT of life left in it. And the GPU is also totally fine even for being 2.5 years old. I'm on a 2080 super and even at 1440p it's still doing an amazing job with the games i like to play. My only suggestion for your friend with that PC would be to undervolt the gpu. I did a quick undervolt on my 2080S and lowered power draw by around 60-70 watts while still getting the same performance and in some cases even improved performance.
I somewhat recently built a AM5 machine for around 1100 but with a reused case and a last gen gpu. And it has a lot of storage because I reused my large harddrives from my last one and only changed the boot drive going for my first nvme with this build.
Omg it's @Bitwit I am soo happy to see you're back on this channel!!!
The LianLi 216 is the case I built in! The blacked-out looks super nice. I went full blast with the blue/cyan rgb in white though.
It's a great budget case for sure.
Love seeing you back, your videos shepherded me through my early pc days love ya man
Build a 1000 euro build last week: RX 6700 XT, Ryzen 5 7600X, 32GB 5200MHz RAM, 1TB NVME SSD, Arctic 34 Esports Duo, 650W gold Cooler master MWE, Asrock B650 and Deepcool CC560. Performs amazing very good lows aswell. 32Gb might be slightly overkill but i think not for long as I see sdome AAA titles go over this already and it was not more than 30 euro extra. Nice future proof build.
Welcome back! I went AM4 recently, works great!
Hope you're doing well, Kyle. It's good to see ya doing things you enjoy again. It seems helping people is one of them.
My dad had his birthday this week and passed on the same day. The messed up thing is that my computer gpu died the same day as well. And all my moms plants at her house. Sad week for me indeed. Remember to say "I love you" to your parents now before it is too late.
A solid video Kyle! Really nice to see you having fun with a build again.
Gotta judge you on the CPU Cooler, Pure Rock 2, Similar Price Range, Quieter.
But super excited to see you back.
Like i said in the last BW video, I knew he Couldn’t Stay away. Only needed a bit of a break. FUCK YEAAHHHH W
Ive been enjoying your old vids so much I didnt notice you were gone.
I find it funny that on the performance showoff, despite having picked a team green GPU "because raytracing", no raytracing was shown... Feel like that's a little silly.
That said, good video. Happy to see you back. :D
This guy!! Glad you're back and doing well!
I built an AM5 ($1200) system (7900)and an AM4 ($450) system (5500) at around same time. I feel the AM4 system was a lot more stable/optimized with Windows 11. The AM5 system was working great but at certain times it felt a little glitchy.
So glad you're back. We need more builds and they seem to he going out of fashion. Plus you're cool.
Man.. I'm 4 miles from the Microcenter in Minnesota... It's so dangerous, but my friends think it's weird I can walk in there and not buy anything. I'm like.. Yeah man, I'm just out for exercise.
I miss building PC's. I build close to 100 of them while at Fry's. Not so many in the later months I was there (2018-2020) since Fry's had nothing to sell...
havent been touching or kept up with building pc's ever since the peak of mining a few years ago. been watching these tech tubers such as bitwit and jayz2cents again and i can say that i want to build again.
Glad to see you back. Nice build.
Good to see you back man, I've been missing you so much, you did a lot of cool stuff in past, hopefully more cool stuff is coming.❤️❤️❤️
Kyle, I'm glad to have you back making content for the channel. But I have to comment on the $150 spent for a 1TB NVMe drive when companies like Samsung and Western Digital are practically giving away their 1TB drives for under $100.
I'm not even sure what's going on here? The SSD Kyle selected is now to be had for 40$ at Microcenter. The 2TB Version for 70$. Is it possible that they had absolutely no discount or rebate going on at the time of filming and sold these for MSRP from 2 years ago? And why would you choose this one when other reputable brands sell their 1TB Model for 100$ or less?
Or does the sticker only state the MSRP and rebates and discount are subtracted on checkout?
EDIT: Seems like Rebates are applied on checkout since the mainboard and memory at 6:42 are less than their stickers say. But the SSD is missing in that 1038.62$ total for the system^^
@@Tho_Me SSD is in the total, just not shown on screen. Adding up the items on screen only gets you to about $854.
@@White_Hawk Items on screen add up to 963.92$. Add 7.75% California sales tax to that and you get a total of 1038.62$
Glad to see ya again! was great seeing you build a computer!! Hope you are well
you are back! KUDOS!!! GREAT BUILD!
something I would like to recommend, for around $100 more than the 3060 ti you can grab a 3080 10GB off the used market
My thoughts exactly. & Honestly if you really shop hard you can find it for less than that. Ive seen em for like 4 but yea it depends.
Kyle I'm into your energy. Welcome back!!!
Glad your back Kyle! However microcenter has been running great AM5 bundles which could have put you well within budget
When I was a little kid I had a cousin who lived like 30 minutes from Disney World. Felt the same way about him then, that I feel as an adult about people that live near Microcenter.
Missed your videos Kyle, you are the best at these build videos!
BTW It's great to see you building once and a while I'll definitely check out the podcast bro.
You sure didn't forget how to film and cut together video, Kyle. The little build segment looked great.
So glad to have you back Kyle
HOLY CHIT! A BITWIT VID! Good to see you again brotha!
Man this was nice to see a BitWit video and build again. I know these won’t be often but damn this was nice.
I’m loving the new podcast channel but I’m glad you haven’t totally given up on this channel.
Nice 2 see you Kyle!!! Missed you my friend!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Kyle is back, the world is healing
🙏
Nice to see you again. I get the feeling like you suffer with depression, I do as well. Happy to see you again, though :)
Always nice to see a tech vid. Miss your blogs man! Waiting for your OF 😉
6:57 Ran in to Micro Center staff at Micro Center... Imagine that!
Good to see you back man!
I've missed these vids! Welcome Back
such a treat to see you back, Kyle
You're back! Good for you!
I had picked up a Zotac 3060 Ti on Amazon about 3 months ago and then about a week later MSI launched the 4060 Ti Ventus 2X Black 8GB OC for the exact same price. It depends on the 40-series card you are looking at when determining if they are overpriced.
4060ti are going to be $399 or more.. you can get a 3060ti for around $300... if you paid $399 for a 3060ti you either overpaid or bought it right before the 4060ti launch... there are not going to be many 3060ti's at $399 anymore.
On June 20th, 2023 the RTX 4060 Ti Ventus 2X Black 8G OC and the ZOTAC RTX 3060 Ti Twin Edge OC LHR 8GB GDDR6 were exactly the same price. I know because I returned the Zotac and bought the MSI and there was no refund and no payment due. Whether those prices have changed since then, it was not the case at the time. I was simply illustrating that the 40-series cards aren't always overpriced. Also, I was wrong about the timeframe in my previous comment. It was June 7th and June 20th.
@@nomisukeindustries Oh dang. I see what you were saying... yeah thats crap that it takes a little for prices to adjust and you could end up paying the same for an older card.. though with the memory bus size of the 4060ti it might be a better idea to grab the 3060ti lol. Buyt I do stand by my meaning that if you're that close to a new GPU launch you should probably wait a month or two before pulling the trigger on a new GPU.. the prices were the same when you bought them but had you waited a couple weeks that 3060ti would have went down by $50 or more... thats more what I was getting at.
