Did a full PC rebuild from an i7-9700f and 1660 ti on a 1080p 75hz monitor. To a 9800x3d & 7900xt for under $2k. New monitor is $729 samsung 1440p 32:9 240 hz. I didn't know gaming could be this great!
Im in full swing with a sim racing setup. Trak racer TR8pro, Moza R9, SR-P pedals, moza shifter and handbrake, 40" ultrawide monitor. For pc i'll be using a Ryzen 7700 (nonX), rx6950XT (will get the rx8800XT a little later), Asus TUF B650 pluss. 32GB 6000 CL30 RAM. Corsair RM 750X and a 2TB kingston KC3000 SSD.
how can a PC channel be so wholesome? its just an honest man giving straight answers to often not-straight questions all the while with with a big smile on his face. no attempts at forcing memes, drama, edginess, its good stuff
Jason is mega wholesome. Even though my PC (that his videos immensely helped me build & select parts for) is only 2 years old and I'm not in the market for anything new anytime soon, I watch all his videos just because he's so enjoyable to listen to and energetic and upbeat, and he's got a pleasant conversational style of presentation. He's my go-to for PC info for a reason.
Jason is one of the only people who get it, give people good information, don't use stupid clickbait titles, and don't use ridiculous thumbnails. I'm excited to see this channel go to 1 Million subs!! Keep doing what you're doing buddy!
as I built my rig for gaming and almost exlucively for flight sim, the 4090 doesn't do much better than the 7900XTX, I think I'm sticking to AMD GPUs for the foreseeable future .
Jason is the best isn't he. My girlfriend and I will say "I'm Jason" and perpetually stuck in my head is "Stop buying bad (insert part here)!" Most wholesome and useful content on TH-cam
My local Walmart had the 4070 12 GB listed for 300$. I did not think twice. Also, this is my first build, where I am aiming at 1440P. I am still missing a couple of components, however.
Most of the people here are lucky to live in the US, where prices drop significantly. In Europe, where I am, everything stays the same, and there’s hardly any change in the prices of graphics cards...
Nvidia needs gamers to buy their GPUs because gamer's test data and crash data is a big part of their research and development for drivers. AI and servers don't provide a wide range of test data like consumers who use multiple different configuations and gaming provides a huuuuge amount of data for research. So Nvidia can't afford to lose famer's test data.
I was able to get a Ryzen 7 9800X3D for around $325 from a buddy of mine who was planning on switching to intel. Paring it with your suggested motherboard and a used 4080 this is going to be a beast of a gaming system. Thanks for all your helpful advice.
I bought a 4080S now because I am not confident in the availability of the 5080 at (the probably hiked up) MSRP. Realistically it will probably be late February or March before you can get your hands on one easily. Also with Trump talking so much about tariffs, who know how that will affect the global market price of computer components when/if he implements them.
Same. The 4080S is still a great card at a comparatively good price. Plus it sounds like the 5080 will still only have 16gb of VRAM, so even though it’ll be faster and have faster RAM than the 4080S, the 4080S will still last for years and years
I built my current rig last Black Friday. Ryzen 5 5600, Asus dual rx 7600, Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB Air Cooler, CM Mastercase H500 case, ASUS TUF Gaming H3 Wired Headset, ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS WiFi II, ASUS Optical RGB Gaming Mouse - TUF M3 and Asus Tuf Gaming 27" 165Hz monitor. Also Razer DeathAdder v2 Mini Gaming Mouse.
I had a gpu die. Was limping along with my old 6 GB 2060. I mostly game 1080, so I took a chance on the RTX 4060, and things look good so far. Running a 12600K with 32 GB RAM, but prefer gaming on a budget.
I've been really please with my 4060 32 ddr5 i5 13400, mostly been playing 1440 actually but my 75 in TV is 60 hz so it hits that ok. I really want a 4070s or superti
@@PCBuilderChannelI have a 3080 5700x 3d I'm waiting for next yr blk Friday get a 9800x3d and 5090 rn waiting for a newwe steam deck or asus rog Aly to release I just got a 27in oled monitor that's in sale 200- from what I payed kinda mad about that 😂
Ok, to be brief, I'm thinking of going all in for a 5090. So should I grab an ATX 3.0 or 3.1 psu at 1200w or 1,500w now? Or wait to see if the 5090 will require something else based on its rumored 600w requirements? I mean the sales now are great, but I don't want to get something that won't work yet either. My current gpu, isn't a 4000 series, so I don't have an ATX 3.0 requirement and just have an old school 850w psu. Anyways, it's a Titan V, which is roughly akin to a 4060 in terms of specs, not counting that it has HBM2 Ram and not ddr6 which is actually a bit better than ddr6 but ludicrously more expensive, so it sometimes preforms closer to a 4070 but is limited to FSR, not DLSS. But anyways point being, upgrading to a 4070 super ti or 4080/4080s isn't a massive improvement for the price and the 4090s are gone... which is why I'm thinking, hell, just go all in for a 5090. Yeah pricey but I have months to save up and just paid off the car so all that money can go towards the top gpu for the next 2 years and which should last me many many more than that. Especially since Ive run into a lot more poorly optimized games like Plague Tale Requiem which just overheats my Titan V to crashing or Stray which apparently the architecture on the Titan V just gets confused with and crashes. But others like Space Marine 2 are perfectly fine, though I suspect as time goes on I'll run into more and more poorly optimized games that on paper I should be able to play but in reality can't. Plus, i want to grab ther 5090 asap before scalpers drive up the price, my mind set is get a founders edition day one and be done with it. Oh, I did also get a 9800x3d too (upgraded from an I7-8700 non-k). So it will keep up with the 5090. I just need the X870e Nova to stop selling out in seconds to grab it too. Lol
Bro about to hit 500k I remember the less than 50k days. Love all the support and content from this channel. I truly hold Jason's opinions and thoughts in high regard to that of the Steve's from gamers nexus and hardware unboxed, unbiased and all about the best options for the consumers. Keep it up Jay!

I am currently using i7 3770k, 970 gtx ancient PC. So far I plan to get Ryzen 7700x and 7900 xt. This will be my first time being in team red for both CPU and GPU.
Heh, my desktop has a 4770K and a 970. I really only use it as a media ripping station and use a much more recent laptop for my daily use. I'm still kicking myself for not getting that $200 ryzen 5 cpu, motherboard, ram, and ssd deal that Newegg had around Prime Day.
Hey boss ive been thinking of getting a straight out new pc when the 50 series drops or if i should upgrade my current build what do you think? i have a 2080 and i7 9700k
Buy now or wait for 8000 series ? The 7900 XT is at a really good price of 629-649 depending on where I look. Im debating if I should buy now or wait for the 8000 series gpus in January-February. I'm just not sure if they will release a 8900 XT variant and don't want to miss out on a good deal. What do yall think?
Hard to say given the leaked specs for RTX 5080 and below. 5080 looks more like a 70 class card compared to previous gens. Possibly the RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti? We'll find out soon!
Hello Jason, I would like to ask, is it recommended to purchase other PC components during black friday while I wait for CPU (i.e. 9800X3D) to restock? I want to play at 1440p (considering 9800X3D) and 5070 Ti, or is it better to wait when the RTX 5070 Ti is released and grab all the parts? (but then I be missing out black friday sales). I come from a i7-7500 / RTX 1060 (6gb) setup
I’m going to build my first PC with the RTX 5090. Will it be hard to get when it's released? Do you have any tips? And if I can’t get it on day one, how long do you think I have to wait until it’s available again?
@@SapiaNt0mata within the day of release, there is an extremely limited time window, how do you think anyone could get it before others like what strategy do you think they can use ? Maybe some kind of semi automated software or just being really fast?
should i get the 4080 super for Christmas or should i just wait for the 5080 when it comes out in January? Also which cpu should i get with either of those gpus, the 7800x3d or the 7900x3d or something a bit cheaper to offset the release price of the 5080?
@@SapiaNt0mata why? If the 5080 is a lot more expensive and doesn't have a big enough increase in performance to justify paying that much more then people will jump on the last few 4080S and it will be more expensive/harder to get than it is now.
For that GPU at that price I would wait yes. But I would ask yourself if you actually need that GPU or even the 5080 for that matter. If you do go for a GPU that high you should pair it with a 9800X3D if you can. You should check out our "Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024" video for lots more on how to think about this. I know it can feel overwhelming!
Just bought a complete PC in a Black Friday Sale. What do you say, worth the Price or should i have waited?

you should have waited for the new gpu. if it was something like March 2024 i'd say go for it. but now that new gpu are coming early 2025, you should have waited.
Just completed my build with a lot of help from your channel, and it actually posted on the first boot up! Thank you for continuing to put out great information
If I cant afford to buy my whole new PC rn, should I indulge in the black Friday deals for my mobo, SSD, ram, and psu? Or just wait to buy in full when the sales are gone?
If you know what you want buying parts when they are on sale can be a great money saver. As long as its not too long before you build to the point were the parts you bought are no longer the best price to performance for what you are looking for
5800X3D user here. 3080Ti OC I found a deal on a 4080 OC for $750 new. I feel like it’s worth it for 4k, what’s your thoughts? A lot of new games are really CPU intensive now. I feel like the 5800X3D is holding up well though.
I got my self a RX 7900 xtx for $850. It down to about $825 which is $275 off of MSRP. The rx 7900 xtx is a great choice rn during amazon black Friday!
I have an i5 9600k and a Gtx 1060 6gb. I was thinking of buying a 1440p monitor soo I could squeeze a bit more juice out of my CPU. Right now I dont know if I should wait for the 5060 and 5070 or just buy one of the 4070 cards. Any opinions?
Jason, your talking about the rx580. They were super aggressive with that card, and it is still relevant today. AMD is truly the value king. Dont get me wrong, i have a nvidia card, but i recognize that nvidia is more bespoke (name brand) while AMD is the value competitor (walmart brand).
Opinions: so im gunna pre order a 9800x3d hopefully due end of the year and buy a 4070ti super, my plan is to get that so i can game just after xmas as my mother board is a xmas gift, and then upgrade to 5090 around march ish time and slap the 4070ts in another pc with a lower cpu and maybe sell that pc. I know the 9800x3d and 4070ts is a stupid combo but is this a good idea for the future proof n preparedness for the incoming 5090?
I got a question Jason, i bought two 7 7800xd3 i want to give one to my brother but his budget is only 700 for the other parts and the gpu he is going to get is 6650xt so basically would it bottleneck with the 7 7800x3d
Yea I wouldn't do that because that's a big bottleneck. He either needs to increase his budget or if he's getting a 6650XT go with the 5600 CPU instead.
That would be a big GPU bottleneck with it but if he's getting the CPU for free and plans to upgrade his GPU in the future that's still a nice gift. He'll just see a big ole boost when he gets a proper sized GPU with it.
I have a question for you, I have a PC that's running AM4. I upgraded to a ryzen 9 5950x over the july amazon sale but had to return it due to the computer turning off randomly, do you think its worth it to try that CPU again now that its the black Friday sale? or should I bit the bullet, and get an AM5 motherboard and an am5 CPU?
I don't recommend that CPU no, its not enough of a performance gain over the 5600 for example to justify the price and it will bottleneck at the exact same level as the 5600 (7800XT or 4070). So if you want to stay on AM4 the top upgrade you can make is the 5700X3D. See our "Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024" video for lots more on this
love the videos , why is does your pc in the background have the gpu power cables going up in stead of down through the dedicated hole ? i have the same case and i love it i actually bought it because you recommended it !
On the nvidia side I don't expect any major uplifts, especially as we go down tiers. The one thing to note for amd is the next gen allegedly having "vastly improved RT performance" but no concrete numbers (kind of understandable) and no plans for a high end like 7900xt/xtx. And then, there's battlemage, nothing much for the upper end of hardware but apparently very budget friendly. I feel that it's relatively safe to buy a GPU now if you absolutely need to.
Nice video. I just picked up the 7600X3D bundle from Micro Center. $399 for the CPU, an Asus TUF B650 motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 6000 RAM is a killer deal. Coming from an i5 9600K has been a massive leap in performance for me. And now I've got a good upgrade path for the future.
Ordered the Sapphire Pulse 7900 XT from Newegg yesterday. May be a better deal coming, but my SFF build has taken long enough to finish and the options that fit in the A4 H2O are limited to basically that and the Powercolor Hellhound, which has too many reports of coil whine and cooling issues for my taste.
My son has been saving to build a computer for six years now, I’m getting the list together for him. Purchased a few things already on sale including the 7900 XT that went on sale today for $635 for the Asrock white phantom. Picked up that nice deal on the 7600 X with the free SSD as well, if you deduct the price of the SSD, that makes that processor only $130 which is absolutely insane. Got the case as well sense it’s $99 after rebate with a $20 steam credit which is insane value. The motherboard is out of stock, I know it’s overkill but he wants it purely for looks. Really any of the white ASrock boards but they’re all out of stock. And you he definitely wants it to be ASRock because otherwise you can’t control or sync the RGB of the GPU unless it’s a ASRock board according to what I found online. Hoping for a good 27 inch OLED 1440p 240hz+ deal. There is that $400 AOC but trying to find one with the AMD freesync premium. Still need to research for AIO that he likes the look of. Anyways how do you think I did so far putting this build together for him. With the exception of the motherboard which is a little overkill but again he wants it purely for looks PC Build List Case: MSI MAG PANO 100L PZ White Mid Tower ATX Gaming Case, 270-degree Panoramic Tempered Glass Display, Dust Filters on all intakes.

I just bought a used 4070ti. I was wanting to wait and see what sales we get for black Friday, but I just don't think there's worthwhile discounts if you're willing to buy used as well. My 4070ti has barely had any use, she was using it for photo editing and that's it. The price I got it for is was still cheaper than a new 4070 non super.
There's so many good deals right now. You should be eating good if you are a gamer. Great deals on Home theater amps and speakers right now as well if you are into that. Hoping to get my hands on a 5090 in Jan when it drops. If I do I'll mount my 7900 xtx in an open case on the wall and connect to the OLED tv. What are your thoughts on the open wall mount cases?
Do you have a video for casual gaming, profession production builds? Tryna use multiple heavy vsts when making music; edit and streaming gaming videos. But I'm not like a pro gamer looking for the fastest response time or anything like that"
Lmao what??? It’s about how you use it, not chasing numbers. If you play older games like most do…..theses no need to run out and go crazy on your machine…..we’ve lost the plot in pc gaming
If you’re trying to build right now I would say just buy now. Even if they come out with them on these timelines they will still be sold out no matter how many the produce of the bat and you’re gonna have to wait for months longer to be able to obtain a 50series or a 8000.
Hi, what about AMD 8000 series specs. The 8800XT seems not to beat a 7900XT from.what I can find. Will there be 8900XT coming? Im thinking of pulling the trigger on a 7900XT but also curious about the new features on the 8000 series. What's your take on this? Thanks
The 5070 ti may indeed have stock issues at launch which might delay you being able to buy one even further. Personally my deal of choice right now is the 7900XT for $619 linked in the description though. Great card (its in my personal 4k gaming rig and I love it).
Hey just so everyone knows. The $195 7600x combo on Newegg also combos with a gigabyte b650 aurous elite ax board and 32gb Corsair 7000 DDR5 RAM for a total of $405 plus tax. You have to scroll down to the other bundle deals but they will stack!
I got a good mobo, MSI x670E gaming plus wifi and 32gb DDR5 Corsair ram 6000hz 30cl for 260 bucks! That's 40 off the mb and 40 off the ram.... I'm also thinking of pulling the trigger on a 4070 ti super Expert card from MSI for 729 bucks.... Do you have any thoughts on that card?? There's a couple others in the price range I'm looking at too. Pretty much MSI gpu's too...
That comment about the 4790k hits a bit close to home, currently running a 4690k, barely clinging to life, lookin at a 9800x3d and either 4080super/4090, the XTX or the 5080/90 (Assuming the 4090 is used after the 50 series launches or the 5080/90 are actually good and not 8000 Canadian) great video
how much better is the ventus 4080 super compared to a ventus 4070 ti super? im waiting for my 9800x3d to come in on back order and looking what graphics card to pair with it. any recommendations would help me in this process. edit* I see you said to spend more on the GPU vs the CPU. I spent on the best cpu due to the games I play are CPU intensive, vs gpu intensive. also I should add in that money isnt necessarily the issue, its about having what I need and that is in stock and easily accessible. I can get a gigabyte 4080 super if they are good. I currently have a ventus 4060 with a 7700x and i havent had any issues with it, so thought id get a 4080, but saw that the 4070 ti super is 1/3 cheaper, so if they are comparable and cant tell much of a difference outside of testing then why not go for the 4070 ti super?
With a 9800X3D the stronger GPU the better but I wouldn't personally buy a 4080 super right now with new gpus coming in 2025. Unless money really truly isn't an issue, then you can buy whatever you like now and replace it later if you like. The 7900XT which is actually more powerful than the 4070 ti super is $619 right now (linked in description) and would make a good placeholder under you get like a 5080 or 5090. Or the 4070 ti super is indeed a great card and better price to performance value than 4080 super
@@PCBuilderChannel thanks for the reply! honestly ive considered it, but realistically I wont be seeing that gpu until or maybe longer as I live in canada and the city im in sells out fast. so ill be back ordering just like I am with the 9800x3d. The price is probably going up a bit, and the 4080 price wont drop, just like the 30 series didint drop. so I figure ill just get the 4080 super now and if in the future I need to upgrade it i am more than willing to dish out the money again, without the wait. Also, this is my first build, I am stressing about how to get 7 rgb case fans and a 360 aio installed and what extra parts I need to buy. I will be using a x870 tomahawk. do I need to buy splitters and what not. there is 8 4pin fan headers and 3 argb header and 1 4pin rgb header. do you have a video on this or can you give me some information on the best way to go? thanks.
I guess the smaller one runs hotter but fits into smaller cases and the bigger one runs cooler and more silent, but needs obviously more space. You have to decide what features are more important to you. Maybe there is a price difference and that could also influence your decision
Just built a new PC with 5800x3d and 4070 super founder edition I got from Best Buy for retail.. This is a huge upgrade over my old 3600 cpu and 2060. Was able to sell old PC for 700 so I am only in the new PC for 400 more dollars $1100. WORTH THE UPGRADE!
Hey, I have a questions. With all of the deals now, I can build a 7800xt and a 5 7600 for less 1100. Would it be worth adding on the OLED 240hz 1440p you showcased earlier this week? Currently I have a 24” 165 1080p. Thanks :)
You should definitely upgrade your Monitor to 1440p, but it's up to you whether or not you want to spend the money on that $400 OLED or go for a cheaper 1440p
Is the Gigabyte 7800xt a good buy for £420 ($526~) ? I'm planning to pair it with a Ryzen 5 7600 for Ultra-wide 1440p And are there any better options around the same price?
If you want max frames, get either a 9800X3D or a 9950X3D. The 9900X is in a weird middle ground that’s not the best for gaming and not the best for a work station.
Hey, Jason. Was curious if you have any videos when it comes to installing a m.2 nvme drive. Or advice when it comes to having a 1tb WD SN770 and then just purchasing a new 2tb Samsung 990 pro. Which would you have as the boot drive and which would you have to install games/ video clips and editing on? Always love your videos and you've helped me build my current PC. Thanks, Jason 😄💪
Is it even worth to upgrade from 3080ti now or in foreseeable future? I see that 4080 super is only 35% performance increase on average. Another point is: even 4070ti super has higher performance than 3080ti (just a bit), but it has less chance overheating than 3080ti when allowing it to max out on TDP.
My gut feeling, which admittedly is completely pulled out of my arse, is that from that card I'd wait for the 50 series supers and some better value cards in that regard, or if you don't use 3D productivity software then consider AMD even. Surely the 3080Ti is still doing quite well with pretty much anything?
That's a pretty strong card still I'd probably wait personally. Maybe check your CPU, RAM, storage etc is where you want it? Those might be better upgrades for you if you are looking for more performance
DO you have any 1300€ builds that you can recommend? Requirements: amd>nvidea, 32gb, future proof, 1440p gaming, :D. Ty this would help out a lot edit: Should i wait with buying a GPU, until the new gen drops (so eg a 7800xt gets cheaper)?
I think I will go for the 4070 TI super to have a good GPU now at a decent price and have those 16gb VRAM for future games If GTA 6 comes out on PC, I am afraid that the 12gb of the Super won't be enough to run it at 1440p 4070 super users, what you think?
What cpu would you pair with a 4080 super for 4k gaming. Doing my first build and my first ever pc. I don’t know what cpu to get trying to save a bit of money if possible.
Jason! Insane 7900 gre deals on amazon for 399!!! But i also saw 7900xt for 620 white. I am doing a all white build, what's your thoughts on all white build with a black gpu or should i pay a bit more for performance and it being white?
Good morning Mr. Jason! Crew and kitties! Some really good deals for folks to jump on! thanks for the update and keeping everybody informed !you’re going above the call of duty to help everyone out
So I just secured myself a b650 bord, 32 gigs of ram, 1 tb ssd and a 7600x for $340 combo deal. Would you say a rtx 4070 ti super if a good gpu to pair with these components? Keep in mind I'm only running 1080p and dont ever plan to go above 1440p.
@@kelley09162 thanks that's kinda what I figured. I'm guessing a 4060ti 16gb would be more sensible at 1080p. I mostly am concerned with Vram since I wanna play skyrim with over 3000 mods lol.
That's a great combo its just super duper overkill for 1080p. If that's ok with you go for it but I'd either save money and do a proper 1080p build (5600X with the on sale 7800X linked in the description would do amazing) or plan to go at least 1440p with your build
Sooo I'm rocking a Ryzen 5600g with a GTX 1070. I want to do more 1440p gaming. I play Smite/Smite2, Cyberpunk, Killer Instinct, MK1, SF6. Should I wait for new gen or look for like a 7600XT? My budget is $300.
powercolor 6750 XT is $290 on amazon right now. 16GB XFX 6800 for $340 at newegg is really good for the 1440. A huge step up from the 6750 XT that's worth it IMO.
The 7600XT is one of those that has problems with pcie gen 3 (which the 5600G is). So for 1440p gaming I'd recommend a CPU upgrade. The 5600 is on super sale right now! If you have a pcie gen 3 board you'll need to replace that too to get to pcie gen 4. See our "how to upgrade your pc" for lots more on this
Thanks for the replies. I have a mobo that supports pcie4 but just like y’all mentioned I need to buy new cpu. Thank god for these deals. I should have not skimped on the cpu because I had the money I was just being cheap and didn’t realize how neutered the g version was. I’ll just use it in my media center rig.
got the 7900 xt on new egg for their black friday deal. feel like thats pretty good! going to do their trade in so its about 200 net dollars. that RAM difference was massive for me.12 GB to 20 GB is big for the future as is know you preach lol.
I'm hoping one more GPU upgrade can happen w/current 10700K (4.8/4.6ring), 3070/1440p (4 years of great performance esp w/frame gen) to AMD 8XXX or 5070/5070ti and an OLED vs new system and no OLED, right now lower res/settings does increase FPS, thoughts Jason/PCMR?
You should get one with that connector. As for what wattage it totally depends on what the rest of your parts are and now much power the 5090 ends up using which we don't know yet.
@@kelley09162 There are only a few with 2 of those connectors, guess I should wait until the 5090 gets announced formally. As for the rest of the system, it will be a 9800x3d. I was looking at a 1300w dark power 13, but it's over $300. I guess if I'm going the the 5090, might be worth getting a good A tier unit like that..
@@PCBuilderChannel Thanks. I had been looking at the NZXT C1500 as being future proof, but maybe I won't need something that expensive?? Kind of wondering about potential shortages if these new cards do need beefy psus with extra connectors.
I just bought a Ryzen 7 5700x3d for $150 brand new. What would be a great GPU? I currently have rx 6600. I was looking at rx 7800XT or 7900 GRE, but is there a better option? Should I wait for the new one to drop for lower prices or get one now?
My friend has a 500$ budget for a gpu. He previously had a 3070 that had a fan stop working. Should he get a 7800xt or 4070? I recommended either rhe gigabyte 7800xt(489$) and the merc 7800xt(419$). I also told him if he really wants a 4070 to get the ventis(i think that's what it's called) (its like 499)

I can't wait for the 5090 to drop at a low low price of $3000.
and people will buy all of them for the first months xD
If we're are lucky we can see that price drop in the year 2036 😅

My local Walmart had the 4070 12 GB listed for 300$. I did not think twice.
Also, this is my first build, where I am aiming at 1440P. I am still missing a couple of components, however.
Ryzen 7600 or 7600X3D if you can get it would be a good pairing.
4070 for $299 is insane
Must have been a pricing mistake. There’s no way lol
@@calebharris4127 had to be a refurb or open box but still crazy
Wtf is going on in the USA, a 4070 is still around 650$ in europe 🥲
Most of the people here are lucky to live in the US, where prices drop significantly. In Europe, where I am, everything stays the same, and there’s hardly any change in the prices of graphics cards...
Sending good wishes for some lower prices!
Nvidia needs gamers to buy their GPUs because gamer's test data and crash data is a big part of their research and development for drivers. AI and servers don't provide a wide range of test data like consumers who use multiple different configuations and gaming provides a huuuuge amount of data for research. So Nvidia can't afford to lose famer's test data.
It would be worrying if they get crash data from data center 🤣🤣
I waited a decade to make a serious upgrade. I'll just wait another 5+ years for the next budget GPUs.
I was able to get a Ryzen 7 9800X3D for around $325 from a buddy of mine who was planning on switching to intel. Paring it with your suggested motherboard and a used 4080 this is going to be a beast of a gaming system. Thanks for all your helpful advice.

I bought a 4080S now because I am not confident in the availability of the 5080 at (the probably hiked up) MSRP. Realistically it will probably be late February or March before you can get your hands on one easily. Also with Trump talking so much about tariffs, who know how that will affect the global market price of computer components when/if he implements them.
Same. The 4080S is still a great card at a comparatively good price. Plus it sounds like the 5080 will still only have 16gb of VRAM, so even though it’ll be faster and have faster RAM than the 4080S, the 4080S will still last for years and years
Upgraded from i7-4790K to 9800X3D... For another 10 years I'm good to go 😂

pulled the trigger with the uncertainty of tariffs coming in next year. small price to pay.
I had a gpu die. Was limping along with my old 6 GB 2060. I mostly game 1080, so I took a chance on the RTX 4060, and things look good so far. Running a 12600K with 32 GB RAM, but prefer gaming on a budget.
I've been really please with my 4060 32 ddr5 i5 13400, mostly been playing 1440 actually but my 75 in TV is 60 hz so it hits that ok. I really want a 4070s or superti
might wait for a 5080 or 5070 ti the time it takes me to save i wont have money for a gpu till after the 5000 series anyway so it makes sense
Yeah it will make sense to wait for a lot of folks.
@PCBuilderChannel yip
@@PCBuilderChannelI have a 3080 5700x 3d I'm waiting for next yr blk Friday get a 9800x3d and 5090 rn waiting for a newwe steam deck or asus rog Aly to release I just got a 27in oled monitor that's in sale 200- from what I payed kinda mad about that 😂

Thank you again Mr Rainbow!!! Truly appreciate the support of the channel. So glad we can help and hope you keep enjoying the content!
Ok, to be brief, I'm thinking of going all in for a 5090. So should I grab an ATX 3.0 or 3.1 psu at 1200w or 1,500w now? Or wait to see if the 5090 will require something else based on its rumored 600w requirements? I mean the sales now are great, but I don't want to get something that won't work yet either.
My current gpu, isn't a 4000 series, so I don't have an ATX 3.0 requirement and just have an old school 850w psu.
Anyways, it's a Titan V, which is roughly akin to a 4060 in terms of specs, not counting that it has HBM2 Ram and not ddr6 which is actually a bit better than ddr6 but ludicrously more expensive, so it sometimes preforms closer to a 4070 but is limited to FSR, not DLSS. But anyways point being, upgrading to a 4070 super ti or 4080/4080s isn't a massive improvement for the price and the 4090s are gone... which is why I'm thinking, hell, just go all in for a 5090. Yeah pricey but I have months to save up and just paid off the car so all that money can go towards the top gpu for the next 2 years and which should last me many many more than that. Especially since Ive run into a lot more poorly optimized games like Plague Tale Requiem which just overheats my Titan V to crashing or Stray which apparently the architecture on the Titan V just gets confused with and crashes. But others like Space Marine 2 are perfectly fine, though I suspect as time goes on I'll run into more and more poorly optimized games that on paper I should be able to play but in reality can't. Plus, i want to grab ther 5090 asap before scalpers drive up the price, my mind set is get a founders edition day one and be done with it.
Oh, I did also get a 9800x3d too (upgraded from an I7-8700 non-k). So it will keep up with the 5090. I just need the X870e Nova to stop selling out in seconds to grab it too. Lol

I am currently using i7 3770k, 970 gtx ancient PC. So far I plan to get Ryzen 7700x and 7900 xt. This will be my first time being in team red for both CPU and GPU.
You won't regret that system lol that's a solid setup. Enjoy ez 1440p ultra or 4k ultra!
Im in the same boat. I've been a Intel/Nvidia fanboy for the last 3 gens, and I'm going all Red this round
Get 7600x3d if you game a lot.
Heh, my desktop has a 4770K and a 970. I really only use it as a media ripping station and use a much more recent laptop for my daily use. I'm still kicking myself for not getting that $200 ryzen 5 cpu, motherboard, ram, and ssd deal that Newegg had around Prime Day.
Hey boss ive been thinking of getting a straight out new pc when the 50 series drops or if i should upgrade my current build what do you think? i have a 2080 and i7 9700k
I would get a new one considering your CPU is older.
Buy now or wait for 8000 series ?
The 7900 XT is at a really good price of 629-649 depending on where I look. Im debating if I should buy now or wait for the 8000 series gpus in January-February. I'm just not sure if they will release a 8900 XT variant and don't want to miss out on a good deal. What do yall think?
me personally I'd wait rather than go 7900XTX
Jason, with the new GPUs coming out, which one would be equivalent to a 4080 Super?
Thanks in advance.
Hard to say given the leaked specs for RTX 5080 and below. 5080 looks more like a 70 class card compared to previous gens. Possibly the RTX 5070 or 5070 Ti? We'll find out soon!
@PCBuilderChannel always appreciate your honesty
It belongs in a museum!!!
haha yep!
Hello Jason, I would like to ask, is it recommended to purchase other PC components during black friday while I wait for CPU (i.e. 9800X3D) to restock? I want to play at 1440p (considering 9800X3D) and 5070 Ti, or is it better to wait when the RTX 5070 Ti is released and grab all the parts? (but then I be missing out black friday sales).
I come from a i7-7500 / RTX 1060 (6gb) setup
You can definitely grab the other parts now, just don't pair that CPU with your current GPU.
Yep! Great strategy. Check out our 9800X3D build guide on the channel for helpful part lists
I’m going to build my first PC with the RTX 5090. Will it be hard to get when it's released? Do you have any tips? And if I can’t get it on day one, how long do you think I have to wait until it’s available again?
I'm waiting for that card as well, definitely order the second it lauches
yes, it will. 4090 was sold out day 1 of release. if it's sold out, you'll have to wait for the restock. when it will happen, nobody knows.
@@SapiaNt0mata I have a feeling it's going to be around 2 months…😕
@@SapiaNt0mata within the day of release, there is an extremely limited time window, how do you think anyone could get it before others like what strategy do you think they can use ? Maybe some kind of semi automated software or just being really fast?
Yes I imagine it will be hard to get. You will want to be in line at a Microcenter when it launches for your best shot
should i get the 4080 super for Christmas or should i just wait for the 5080 when it comes out in January? Also which cpu should i get with either of those gpus, the 7800x3d or the 7900x3d or something a bit cheaper to offset the release price of the 5080?
Im wondering the same.
do you really have to make this question? at this point = November 24 you wait. people that purchase gpu now are making the biggest mistake.
@@SapiaNt0mata Well I just have issues deciding on stuff so I would like some opinions, but thanks for letting me know!
@@SapiaNt0mata why? If the 5080 is a lot more expensive and doesn't have a big enough increase in performance to justify paying that much more then people will jump on the last few 4080S and it will be more expensive/harder to get than it is now.
For that GPU at that price I would wait yes. But I would ask yourself if you actually need that GPU or even the 5080 for that matter. If you do go for a GPU that high you should pair it with a 9800X3D if you can. You should check out our "Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024" video for lots more on how to think about this. I know it can feel overwhelming!

If you know what you want buying parts when they are on sale can be a great money saver. As long as its not too long before you build to the point were the parts you bought are no longer the best price to performance for what you are looking for

No way, FSR is horrible
I have an i5 9600k and a Gtx 1060 6gb.
I was thinking of buying a 1440p monitor soo I could squeeze a bit more juice out of my CPU.
Right now I dont know if I should wait for the 5060 and 5070 or just buy one of the 4070 cards.
Any opinions?
Jason is the word of reason in the PC hardware community :)
Much appreciated! Thanks for tuning in and staying informed ;)
Jason, your talking about the rx580. They were super aggressive with that card, and it is still relevant today. AMD is truly the value king. Dont get me wrong, i have a nvidia card, but i recognize that nvidia is more bespoke (name brand) while AMD is the value competitor (walmart brand).
Opinions: so im gunna pre order a 9800x3d hopefully due end of the year and buy a 4070ti super, my plan is to get that so i can game just after xmas as my mother board is a xmas gift, and then upgrade to 5090 around march ish time and slap the 4070ts in another pc with a lower cpu and maybe sell that pc. I know the 9800x3d and 4070ts is a stupid combo but is this a good idea for the future proof n preparedness for the incoming 5090?
I got a question Jason, i bought two 7 7800xd3 i want to give one to my brother but his budget is only 700 for the other parts and the gpu he is going to get is 6650xt so basically would it bottleneck with the 7 7800x3d
Yea I wouldn't do that because that's a big bottleneck.
He either needs to increase his budget or if he's getting a 6650XT go with the 5600 CPU instead.
Yea, in my experience, an RX 6800 is the lowest you should pair with the 7800x3d.
That would be a big GPU bottleneck with it but if he's getting the CPU for free and plans to upgrade his GPU in the future that's still a nice gift. He'll just see a big ole boost when he gets a proper sized GPU with it.
Ok thank you guys so much
I have a question for you, I have a PC that's running AM4. I upgraded to a ryzen 9 5950x over the july amazon sale but had to return it due to the computer turning off randomly, do you think its worth it to try that CPU again now that its the black Friday sale? or should I bit the bullet, and get an AM5 motherboard and an am5 CPU?
No because Jason doesn't recommend it in 2024.
I don't recommend that CPU no, its not enough of a performance gain over the 5600 for example to justify the price and it will bottleneck at the exact same level as the 5600 (7800XT or 4070). So if you want to stay on AM4 the top upgrade you can make is the 5700X3D. See our "Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024" video for lots more on this
@@PCBuilderChannel thanks for personally responding i appreciate your input ♥️
love the videos , why is does your pc in the background have the gpu power cables going up in stead of down through the dedicated hole ? i have the same case and i love it i actually bought it because you recommended it !
you mislabeled the 7800xt as 18gb in your description links
Fixed! Thank you
On the nvidia side I don't expect any major uplifts, especially as we go down tiers. The one thing to note for amd is the next gen allegedly having "vastly improved RT performance" but no concrete numbers (kind of understandable) and no plans for a high end like 7900xt/xtx. And then, there's battlemage, nothing much for the upper end of hardware but apparently very budget friendly. I feel that it's relatively safe to buy a GPU now if you absolutely need to.
Nice video. I just picked up the 7600X3D bundle from Micro Center. $399 for the CPU, an Asus TUF B650 motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 6000 RAM is a killer deal. Coming from an i5 9600K has been a massive leap in performance for me. And now I've got a good upgrade path for the future.
Ordered the Sapphire Pulse 7900 XT from Newegg yesterday. May be a better deal coming, but my SFF build has taken long enough to finish and the options that fit in the A4 H2O are limited to basically that and the Powercolor Hellhound, which has too many reports of coil whine and cooling issues for my taste.
I'm going to wait until next year to find a 9800x3d. Everywhere is OOS or backordered until the new year anyways where I am.
My son has been saving to build a computer for six years now, I’m getting the list together for him.
Purchased a few things already on sale including the 7900 XT that went on sale today for $635 for the Asrock white phantom.
Picked up that nice deal on the 7600 X with the free SSD as well, if you deduct the price of the SSD, that makes that processor only $130 which is absolutely insane.
Got the case as well sense it’s $99 after rebate with a $20 steam credit which is insane value.
The motherboard is out of stock, I know it’s overkill but he wants it purely for looks. Really any of the white ASrock boards but they’re all out of stock. And you he definitely wants it to be ASRock because otherwise you can’t control or sync the RGB of the GPU unless it’s a ASRock board according to what I found online.
Hoping for a good 27 inch OLED 1440p 240hz+ deal. There is that $400 AOC but trying to find one with the AMD freesync premium.
Still need to research for AIO that he likes the look of.
Anyways how do you think I did so far putting this build together for him. With the exception of the motherboard which is a little overkill but again he wants it purely for looks

I just bought a used 4070ti. I was wanting to wait and see what sales we get for black Friday, but I just don't think there's worthwhile discounts if you're willing to buy used as well. My 4070ti has barely had any use, she was using it for photo editing and that's it. The price I got it for is was still cheaper than a new 4070 non super.
There's so many good deals right now. You should be eating good if you are a gamer. Great deals on Home theater amps and speakers right now as well if you are into that. Hoping to get my hands on a 5090 in Jan when it drops. If I do I'll mount my 7900 xtx in an open case on the wall and connect to the OLED tv. What are your thoughts on the open wall mount cases?
Just upgraded from a rx 580, ryzeen 3600 with 16gb of ram to a rx 7800 xt ryzen 7700x with 32 gb of ram
Do you have a video for casual gaming, profession production builds?
Tryna use multiple heavy vsts when making music; edit and streaming gaming videos. But I'm not like a pro gamer looking for the fastest response time or anything like that"
Ive had RX 580 8GB Sapphire when it was launched, later on my friend bought an RX 590 8GB. Was great cards for years.
Old hardware is really dangerous, i hope the guy with the 4790K makes a new build soon.
Lmao what??? It’s about how you use it, not chasing numbers. If you play older games like most do…..theses no need to run out and go crazy on your machine…..we’ve lost the plot in pc gaming
Is the 4070 super founders version gonna restock?
If you’re trying to build right now I would say just buy now. Even if they come out with them on these timelines they will still be sold out no matter how many the produce of the bat and you’re gonna have to wait for months longer to be able to obtain a 50series or a 8000.
Hi, what about AMD 8000 series specs. The 8800XT seems not to beat a 7900XT from.what I can find. Will there be 8900XT coming? Im thinking of pulling the trigger on a 7900XT but also curious about the new features on the 8000 series. What's your take on this? Thanks
We do cover this here as best we can, its really up to your preferences on buying a deal now or waiting. The 7900XT is a good sale price in my opinion
im torn between buying a 7900xtx or waiting to see if i can grab a 5070 ti or wil they all go out of stock?
The 5070 ti may indeed have stock issues at launch which might delay you being able to buy one even further. Personally my deal of choice right now is the 7900XT for $619 linked in the description though. Great card (its in my personal 4k gaming rig and I love it).
Hey just so everyone knows. The $195 7600x combo on Newegg also combos with a gigabyte b650 aurous elite ax board and 32gb Corsair 7000 DDR5 RAM for a total of $405 plus tax. You have to scroll down to the other bundle deals but they will stack!
Just bought myself a 7600X3D, Asus TUF B650 motherboard and G.Skill 2×16 GB DDR5-6000 RAM myself. Whole bundle is $399 before taxes.
I got a good mobo, MSI x670E gaming plus wifi and 32gb DDR5 Corsair ram 6000hz 30cl for 260 bucks! That's 40 off the mb and 40 off the ram.... I'm also thinking of pulling the trigger on a 4070 ti super Expert card from MSI for 729 bucks.... Do you have any thoughts on that card?? There's a couple others in the price range I'm looking at too. Pretty much MSI gpu's too...
I have that exact model, runs cool and quiet while also looking amazing. 0 complaints.
That comment about the 4790k hits a bit close to home, currently running a 4690k, barely clinging to life, lookin at a 9800x3d and either 4080super/4090, the XTX or the 5080/90 (Assuming the 4090 is used after the 50 series launches or the 5080/90 are actually good and not 8000 Canadian) great video
how much better is the ventus 4080 super compared to a ventus 4070 ti super? im waiting for my 9800x3d to come in on back order and looking what graphics card to pair with it. any recommendations would help me in this process.
edit* I see you said to spend more on the GPU vs the CPU. I spent on the best cpu due to the games I play are CPU intensive, vs gpu intensive. also I should add in that money isnt necessarily the issue, its about having what I need and that is in stock and easily accessible. I can get a gigabyte 4080 super if they are good. I currently have a ventus 4060 with a 7700x and i havent had any issues with it, so thought id get a 4080, but saw that the 4070 ti super is 1/3 cheaper, so if they are comparable and cant tell much of a difference outside of testing then why not go for the 4070 ti super?
With a 9800X3D the stronger GPU the better but I wouldn't personally buy a 4080 super right now with new gpus coming in 2025. Unless money really truly isn't an issue, then you can buy whatever you like now and replace it later if you like. The 7900XT which is actually more powerful than the 4070 ti super is $619 right now (linked in description) and would make a good placeholder under you get like a 5080 or 5090. Or the 4070 ti super is indeed a great card and better price to performance value than 4080 super
@@PCBuilderChannel thanks for the reply! honestly ive considered it, but realistically I wont be seeing that gpu until or maybe longer as I live in canada and the city im in sells out fast. so ill be back ordering just like I am with the 9800x3d. The price is probably going up a bit, and the 4080 price wont drop, just like the 30 series didint drop. so I figure ill just get the 4080 super now and if in the future I need to upgrade it i am more than willing to dish out the money again, without the wait.
Also, this is my first build, I am stressing about how to get 7 rgb case fans and a 360 aio installed and what extra parts I need to buy. I will be using a x870 tomahawk. do I need to buy splitters and what not. there is 8 4pin fan headers and 3 argb header and 1 4pin rgb header. do you have a video on this or can you give me some information on the best way to go? thanks.
hey should i go for asus dual fan rx 7800 xt or the asus tuf tri fan rx 7800 xt?
I guess the smaller one runs hotter but fits into smaller cases and the bigger one runs cooler and more silent, but needs obviously more space.
You have to decide what features are more important to you. Maybe there is a price difference and that could also influence your decision
I recently got the 7600x3d from the micro center bundle with a 4080 super is that good?
Just built a new PC with 5800x3d and 4070 super founder edition I got from Best Buy for retail.. This is a huge upgrade over my old 3600 cpu and 2060. Was able to sell old PC for 700 so I am only in the new PC for 400 more dollars $1100. WORTH THE UPGRADE!
love your enthusiasm, and being from New Orleans my self hope to see you around, thanks for all you do.
You're welcome! Glad you're enjoying the channel :)
Hey, I have a questions. With all of the deals now, I can build a 7800xt and a 5 7600 for less 1100. Would it be worth adding on the OLED 240hz 1440p you showcased earlier this week? Currently I have a 24” 165 1080p. Thanks :)
You should definitely upgrade your Monitor to 1440p, but it's up to you whether or not you want to spend the money on that $400 OLED or go for a cheaper 1440p
Sounds like a plan to me!
Is the Gigabyte 7800xt a good buy for £420 ($526~) ?
I'm planning to pair it with a Ryzen 5 7600 for Ultra-wide 1440p
And are there any better options around the same price?
That's a good combo and sound right but I don't know for sure with prices in your market.
I’m looking to get max frames. I’m working on a build for a 9900x and a 4090. Would this combo work? I’ve seen conflicting arguments
If you want max frames, get either a 9800X3D or a 9950X3D. The 9900X is in a weird middle ground that’s not the best for gaming and not the best for a work station.
For max gaming frames you want a 9800X3D 4090. 9900X is a production focused CPU. See our 9800X3D build guide for more
Certainly my favourite PC tech channel.
Love that! Thanks for the viewership and support :D
Hey, Jason. Was curious if you have any videos when it comes to installing a m.2 nvme drive. Or advice when it comes to having a 1tb WD SN770 and then just purchasing a new 2tb Samsung 990 pro. Which would you have as the boot drive and which would you have to install games/ video clips and editing on?
Always love your videos and you've helped me build my current PC. Thanks, Jason 😄💪
See our Best Gaming SSD 2024 video! You don't need to worry about a boot drive in 2024
@@PCBuilderChannel as always, you're the best!
I want to do my first AMD build but the 7800x 3D is way to expensive. What would be a good alternative?
You could always get a 7600X now and upgrade to a 7800X3D/9800X3D once they get cheaper.
Otherwise, the 7900X/9900X are good alternatives.
7600X3D, if you can't get that 7700
Of course! If you don't the budget for that check out our 7600X build guide. My personal 4k gaming rig is a 7600X
Is it even worth to upgrade from 3080ti now or in foreseeable future?
I see that 4080 super is only 35% performance increase on average. Another point is: even 4070ti super has higher performance than 3080ti (just a bit), but it has less chance overheating than 3080ti when allowing it to max out on TDP.
My gut feeling, which admittedly is completely pulled out of my arse, is that from that card I'd wait for the 50 series supers and some better value cards in that regard, or if you don't use 3D productivity software then consider AMD even. Surely the 3080Ti is still doing quite well with pretty much anything?
That's a pretty strong card still I'd probably wait personally. Maybe check your CPU, RAM, storage etc is where you want it? Those might be better upgrades for you if you are looking for more performance
DO you have any 1300€ builds that you can recommend?
Requirements: amd>nvidea, 32gb, future proof, 1440p gaming, :D.
Ty this would help out a lot
edit: Should i wait with buying a GPU, until the new gen drops (so eg a 7800xt gets cheaper)?
What country in Europe are you from? If it has a PC Part Picker I can make a build for you.
Check out our 7600X build guide video!
I think I will go for the 4070 TI super to have a good GPU now at a decent price and have those 16gb VRAM for future games
If GTA 6 comes out on PC, I am afraid that the 12gb of the Super won't be enough to run it at 1440p
4070 super users, what you think?
Do u think that the RTX 5070Ti 16GB 256BIT GDDR7 300W will be the best price to performance card in the 5000 series lineup?
Unless they do a refresh again, yes.
PC Builder helping us out again this very weekend! Thank you, Jason! 💯
You're so welcome Thomas! The time has come to hopefully save! :))
What cpu would you pair with a 4080 super for 4k gaming. Doing my first build and my first ever pc. I don’t know what cpu to get trying to save a bit of money if possible.
You can go 7600X, 7600X3D if available to you, 7800X3D, or 9800X3D.
Paired with that high a GPU Id be aiming for a 9800X3D. But if you don't have the budget for that 7600X or 7600.
Jason! Insane 7900 gre deals on amazon for 399!!! But i also saw 7900xt for 620 white. I am doing a all white build, what's your thoughts on all white build with a black gpu or should i pay a bit more for performance and it being white?
Get the 7900XT if you can afford it. The GRE deal is probably a scam.
@@kelley09162you're right ... The seller has 17% positive reviews...
Already been said but make sure you are checking the seller on amazon for scams. Really wish that wasn't a thing!
Good morning Mr. Jason! Crew and kitties! Some really good deals for folks to jump on! thanks for the update and keeping everybody informed !you’re going above the call of duty to help everyone out
Good morning! You're very welcome, happy to keep everyone up-to-date! And the kitties thank you for your attention :))
So I just secured myself a b650 bord, 32 gigs of ram, 1 tb ssd and a 7600x for $340 combo deal. Would you say a rtx 4070 ti super if a good gpu to pair with these components? Keep in mind I'm only running 1080p and dont ever plan to go above 1440p.
Yes but only if you upgrade your Monitor to a 1440p. It's overkill for 1080p.
@@kelley09162 thanks that's kinda what I figured. I'm guessing a 4060ti 16gb would be more sensible at 1080p. I mostly am concerned with Vram since I wanna play skyrim with over 3000 mods lol.
That's a great combo its just super duper overkill for 1080p. If that's ok with you go for it but I'd either save money and do a proper 1080p build (5600X with the on sale 7800X linked in the description would do amazing) or plan to go at least 1440p with your build
@@PCBuilderChannel I do plan on grabbing a 1440p moniter at some point just focusing on building a new pc first.
I just got a brand new Asrock RX 6800XT for $430.00USD before the artificial GPU shortage kicks in.
Amazon has a 7800xt for that $420.00
He did it again!! amazing video. Love the fact you spent the time talking about your cats.
Thanks so much, Q&A for the win!! And of course, they run the show--and always appreciate the attention :))
Question? I want to get the newest high end GPU this January. What’s the best way to secure a 5090 or 5080?
be fast cause 4090 and 4080 were sold out day 1 of release. the 4080 super was also sold out day 1 of release. the fastest you are, the better.
Be in line at a Micro center when they launch
I got me a 4060 laptop for 400 dollars, couldn’t pass that up as an upgrade to my old laptop with a 1060 from 2017 that cost a grand back then.
So I'm looking at buying a 300$ ish GPU, I was thinking 6700xt, 7600, something like that, would it be best to wait til the 8000 series before buying?
6700XT/6750XT would be better than the 7600 and no buying now makes sense.
6750XT has great deals around that price point rn, best 1440p price to performance card on the market.
No need to wait for that level of GPU in my personal opinion
Sooo I'm rocking a Ryzen 5600g with a GTX 1070. I want to do more 1440p gaming. I play Smite/Smite2, Cyberpunk, Killer Instinct, MK1, SF6. Should I wait for new gen or look for like a 7600XT?
My budget is $300.
6700XT/6750XT would be good though if they're out of stock the 7600XT is a good alternative.
powercolor 6750 XT is $290 on amazon right now. 16GB XFX 6800 for $340 at newegg is really good for the 1440. A huge step up from the 6750 XT that's worth it IMO.
The 7600XT is one of those that has problems with pcie gen 3 (which the 5600G is). So for 1440p gaming I'd recommend a CPU upgrade. The 5600 is on super sale right now! If you have a pcie gen 3 board you'll need to replace that too to get to pcie gen 4. See our "how to upgrade your pc" for lots more on this
Thanks for the replies. I have a mobo that supports pcie4 but just like y’all mentioned I need to buy new cpu. Thank god for these deals. I should have not skimped on the cpu because I had the money I was just being cheap and didn’t realize how neutered the g version was. I’ll just use it in my media center rig.
Where i live the 4090s are pretty easy to get. Should i get one before they do run out. Or will the 5080 beat it for gaming?
nobody knows if 5080 will beat 4090 in gaming. we can't predict the future. the best you can do is wait.
Gosh I would! I don't think the 5080 will beat it
got the 7900 xt on new egg for their black friday deal. feel like thats pretty good! going to do their trade in so its about 200 net dollars. that RAM difference was massive for me.12 GB to 20 GB is big for the future as is know you preach lol.
I'm hoping one more GPU upgrade can happen w/current 10700K (4.8/4.6ring), 3070/1440p (4 years of great performance esp w/frame gen) to AMD 8XXX or 5070/5070ti and an OLED vs new system and no OLED, right now lower res/settings does increase FPS, thoughts Jason/PCMR?
What would be a safe power supply to buy if I’m planning on getting the 5090 (wattage/connections type?). Do I need something with 2 12vhpwr?
You should get one with that connector.
As for what wattage it totally depends on what the rest of your parts are and now much power the 5090 ends up using which we don't know yet.
@@kelley09162 There are only a few with 2 of those connectors, guess I should wait until the 5090 gets announced formally. As for the rest of the system, it will be a 9800x3d. I was looking at a 1300w dark power 13, but it's over $300. I guess if I'm going the the 5090, might be worth getting a good A tier unit like that..
I would wait on PSU buying till it launches personally.
@@PCBuilderChannel Thanks. I had been looking at the NZXT C1500 as being future proof, but maybe I won't need something that expensive?? Kind of wondering about potential shortages if these new cards do need beefy psus with extra connectors.
what do u recommend based on 5090 release coming soon: between 7900xtx and 4080 super for 4k gaming? thanks in advance!
4080 or wait, at 4k upscaling is required in most current gen games and FSR is honestly unusable
Jason prefers the 7900XTX
Right now for that high a GPU I'd probably wait. Unless you don't currently have a build and just want to dive in now no matter what
I just bought a Ryzen 7 5700x3d for $150 brand new. What would be a great GPU? I currently have rx 6600. I was looking at rx 7800XT or 7900 GRE, but is there a better option? Should I wait for the new one to drop for lower prices or get one now?
Both are good choices but I would go 7800XT considering the price of it right now.
@ I won’t be buying it right now. Probably waiting for February
@@sosawes oh okay then a 7900GRE might make sense.
Both are good choices.
Those are both great choices! I'd probably take advantage of the 7800XT deals
Where did you get the 5700x3D for that price? I’m trying to pick one up too. Lowest I’ve found is microcenter for 180, but they don’t ship.
My friend has a 500$ budget for a gpu. He previously had a 3070 that had a fan stop working. Should he get a 7800xt or 4070? I recommended either rhe gigabyte 7800xt(489$) and the merc 7800xt(419$). I also told him if he really wants a 4070 to get the ventis(i think that's what it's called) (its like 499)
I think your advice is perfect!
is the rx 6800 and 7600x a good combo?
1440P rock solid performance and great long term protection with the 16g vram.
Yes. Seems the 7800xt got down to 420 so for 50 or 60 extra yoy get acces to fsr 4
