Well, Jason, it is like this. I planned on going to the new Microcenter in Charlotte, NC.Opened my Gmail to find out they canceled the opening for no reason,no info on the new opening date.🙄
Cool Sponsor. I've been using 1Password personally since 2009. We also use it at work to sync up passwords and share critical notes securely.
the disagreement I have if you can even call it that is the jump from 1440p to 4k. Is it really worth the effort and the huge expense? Or will the visuals look 'the same'? Getting older my eyes are fuzzy view anyway so 1440p sees to be the no need to improve the size to see the text. and I forgot what I was talking about dammit
got a 4090 strix and an AMD 5900x . Missed this CPU gen as I didnt think the jump was enough at 4k. Hoping next gen is gonna make it worth while as the cash is burning a hole in my pocket
@@tommyrotton9468 I'll throw in on this, since it's something I went through some years ago. The jump from 1080p to 1440p (1600p in my case) is huge. The jump from 1440p to 4k is significant, but not nearly as striking. The ringer: going to ultrawide is another huge jump in visuals, especially if you go 21:10 with something like a 3840x1600 panel. The question you have to answer for yourself is whether you want more vertical or more horizontal screen real estate. Anything first person or third person will benefit from the latter. Anything isometric or top down will benefit more from the former.
I really wanna see what the 9800X3D will be capable of
Me too!
We need to let Nvdia release RX5090 first.
@@jayvee8502 thats what Im looking forward to. Get a 5090 then the new x3d when that comes out to back it up. Should be good for at least a year at 4k 😂
Intel is dead
We know one thing the 9800X3D will be able to do; it will be able to suck money out of gamers' wallets.
To this day the biggest change I have ever experienced in gaming was going from 60Hz to 144Hz and switching from a TN panel to an IPS. No resolution, ray tracing or other technology could impact those 2 jumps though. Edit: HDR on 4k seem to be another BIG JUMP going from IPS 1440p.
HDR and path tracing is just as meaningful. Going from 1440p to 4K is overhyped as hell, it's a meaningful jump on TVs but not on around 30" monitors where you can't even tell the pixel density apart.
What about the jump from 144/165hz to 240hz? IDK if the difference between 1440p 144hz and 240hz is worth it
@@micco35 Diminishing returns, get a OLED/mini-LED with 165-180hz. That's the current sweetspot.
@@micco35 if you are a hardcore counter strike player you will feel the difference between 144, 240 and 360Hz. Its a really a pure competitive shooter thing. For all the rest totally irrelevant. Idk about Dota, LoL, ...
Just try oled 240hz.
If buying top of the line components, buying them at launch will give you most value, I observed.
Truth. Underrated comment.
I have no reason to upgrade my PC untill we get some great games
Been playing birds arent real and holocure lol
Shadow of the erd tree
Thanks Jason! Good point on increasing resolution vs. enabling ray tracing. The difference from 2k -> 4k is staggering!
Dude you are awesome and I'm learning a lot from your videos and saving up for building my own PC.
Thanks for the awesome feedback! It means a lot (:
I’m starting to pull out $50-$100 out of my paychecks saving up for a 5090 or 6090 lol
I hear that lol. Im guessing $2499 msrp for the 5090. Which means probably $3k plus after scalpers
@@bradyfranks6739maybe the price will drop in the next year
The concept of "future proofing" was invented by PC parts makers and influencers to get people to overbuy. It's related to the concept of the "upgrade path." Build the PC you need today. Later, when that PC can no longer deliver what you need, build a new one. Sell or give away the old one as a working unit, part it out, or relegate it to a secondary use. I recommend keeping it, so when your new build has issues you can still get things done while you sort it out.
It makes sense now though, buying a PT capable GPU so that you can still use it when there's hundreds of titles that have it is smart.
Yup influencers like this guy always come out with a new video" This the greatest CPU! This the greatest GPU! " This guy reminds me of a carnival huckster. A true decendent of "PT Barnum", a sucker born every minute. Like the John Lennon song, imagine a world without PC gaming influncers, how nice the world would actual be.
Either AM4 is the exception to this rule or you're wrong. I'm honestly split on the topic of future proofing.
@@AD34534 AM4 is still fine, it's not like with GPUs where the performance increases are huge each new gen.
@@AD34534 AM4 is a good example of a platform that allowed PC builders to build now and upgrade later, but I suspect most people who built an AM4 machine never dropped in a newer CPU at some later date. I don't know if anyone has data to confirm or refute this. I ran my R7 1700 system until Zen2 was released, and then I built an entirely new R9 3900X system and kept my 1700 system intact for secondary use. I still have that 3900X system and my main PC is now a 13700K. Future proofing and upgrade path are moot for me.
Love starting my morning watching a PC builder video as I head to work, great way to start the day
So glad! Hope you keep enjoying the content!
Thank you for the comment on going up in resolution versus ray tracing. That was a great point.
That's plainly wrong though, if you don't get a bigger screen you won't notice the difference in pixel density in the first place. Path tracing on the other hand is transformative, makes games go from PS2 graphics to near photorealism.
@@anitaremenarova6662 thank you for your opinion. I can say I notice, even on a small laptop screen (surface pro) vs. a 24" 1080p monitor. This seems subjective to the person.
@@ScottMeyersFinance Duh, 24" is too low of a pixel density for 1080p. It's very much objective, putting a 27" 1440p and 4K monitors next to each other you'd have no idea because at the distance you'd use them at it's all the same. Laptop you'll have directly in your face so it's easy to discern what resolution you're at even half-blind.
@@anitaremenarova6662 it seems you have a very strong opinion here and perhaps I hit a nerve. I have issue with your experience and what works for you. I'm sure you share the same experience as many others. My original comment was towards resolution vs. ray tracing. I agree with that comment and it was a good point and relative to the video's opinion. It seems you disagree. That's ok. It's your money and your experience. Using words like "duh" in your response is not respectful. Please keep things polite, it makes for a much better world.
I got my 3090 in September of '22, the 4090 launched the 12th of October. That launch didn't diminish the performance of my card or make it worse, it's still an amazing GPU. Build when you want because there is always something better in the works and you can always upgrade later
ha i ordered a 4080 super last week ... (asus TUF non OC variant ) got it for MSRP too. but got to wait another three weeks now before it gets here . even if 5000 comes before thenn, it'll be a "paper" launch with very few models available , add that to people's rush to buy them , it a whole nother year will pass before a 5080 is actually able to be had by common MSRP paying folks. So think i'm fine jsut sticking with my 4080S when it gets here.
keep telling yourself that darling
@@Zombie101 $900 for a 3090 was much better than fighting for the opportunity to buy $1600+ 4090
Last time I bought the best it was an Nvidia 7950×2. That long ago. It loses value like nothing else. Id never recommend it.
Will i 9 14900k good with Msi pro z790 A Max Mobo For Peak Performance With 360 Liquid Cooler?
I don't recommend the 14900K right now. Its having all kinds of performance issues they haven't resolved (see our latest CPU Market Update video for more on this) and even at their best they still require crazy amounts of cooling and power with no real boost to show for it over the competition. Especially with new CPUs coming I wouldn't go that route right now.
Thank you for the video. I took your advice and stayed with the 5800x3d that I have and am waiting for the new ryzen cpu before going to the AM5 platform and just keeping it paired with the 4080super so thank you. My next question is what are your thought of using the LG OLED 42inch TV as a monitor vs buying a PC old monitor. I do not do completive gaming. I do a lot of msfs and red dead ect. And will the 4080super run 2 monitors fine. One being the LG old and other and 1440p 32 inch monitor. Thank you Jason.
Glad we could help!
Quick question. ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A Gaming wifi or MSI MPG B650 Edge wifi?
Another banger of a video. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
when do you think arm will take over or amd/ intel make arm chips.
Nvidia should figure out their criminally bad power connecters before hoisting a new generation of video cards on the market.
i believe the 5000 series can go one or two ways ... 1. nvidia further pushes down the power draw on what is achievable at lower power levels. ie each card in the series will draw less power tha it's predecessor while offering more performance (except the the 5060 , i'm beting it'll hardly be different from the 4060). in which case no 12vhpwr cables will melt since the gneration si drawing well below the cable's actual spec , thus making nivida look "right" for backing the standard. or the more likely thing given 4000 series already did the above compared to 300 series; 2. nvidia boost power draw across the board so performance goes up drastically across the board, and we'll see 12vhwpr connectors melting on 5070's and 5080's too this time around.
Never have I clicked on a notification so fast
Welcome!!
Lol same
Real❤
This is 100% true lol
Fr😆
i'm just curious. Why don't you use the gpu cable feed through hole with the little sliding door on the pc case behind you? i have the G500 and it looks much better when you use this feature imho.
This gen i picked up a 7900 xtx at $925, and a second at $875. Found a 4080 super at msrp and grabbed it. Sold one of my 7900xtx s. I am anticipating a paper launch of the 5000 series too tier cards in September with an msrp price increase and scalpers selling rhe cards at 2x the price, followed by a price increase in 4000 cards. So msrp on a 4080 super is probably as good as i will get until the following rdna/6000 series cards
I only have 4 components left for my build, the PSU, CPU, GPU, and motherboard. As my CPU Cooler arrived today. I got the Noctua NH-D15.
You're my favorite KZheadr, Jason. I always look forward to watching your videos.
Thank you!! So glad you are enjoying!
Hey PC Builder. I have a 12600K I want to upgrade my itx motherboard Gigabyte H610i. Should I go Gigabyte Z690i or Gigabyte B760i ? The Z690i I can overclock but the B760i has pcie 4.0 instead of pcie 3.0
Hey Jason! I've started muddling along with PC Part Picker, and have settled on a strategy of sniping new budget parts, mostly from Best Buy using $30 off coupons one component at a time. I'm aiming at 1080p Alpha testing unoptimized Unreal Engine 5+ games, but keeping as cheap as possible. I've settled on Ryzen 5 5500, RX 6650XT, and ASUS Prime B450M A-II, 16 or 32GB RAM, but am struggling with the case and PSU. Based on reviews, I like the Montech AIR 903 BASE ATX Mid Tower Case: lots of room, good air flow, but PCPP is warning me about the front USB ports. "A USB 2.0 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required," and "A USB 3.2 Gen 1 to USB 3.2 Gen 2 header adapter is required." Assuming I want to connect a USB keyboard and trackball to the front, how much do I need to worry about this? In fact, looking at the USB connectors on the Motherboard, I am not finding any cases that precisely match. Could you help me understand? This would be my first build in over twenty years. Thank you.
I have that motherboard in my build with a montech air 100 argb, looks good and had no issues with USB ports or anything... Wonder why part picker gives that issue.
@@ArtemisXD1 Thank you. I can understand complaining about the USB C connector. I do like the Montech cases I have seen so far. I am still learning a lot.
Looking at pictures of the motherboard, it only comes with USB 2.0 (USB34 & USB56 at the bottom) and doesn't have USB 3 or USB-C headers. If you don't need the front ports of the case, you don't have to worry about these. I would recommend going with 32GB memory. Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 is a good series for PSU. ADATA XPG CORE Reactor is another good series. MSI MPG is another good series.
@@Jason-ru5lr I want to hook up the keyboard and trackball up front, don't care about USB C. I get these discounts from Best Buy, so I can get $35-$45 off a purchase. I can get 2 x 8GB net $10, but if I buy 2 x 16GB, it's more like net $40. Since the motherboard is quad memory channel, I can always add another 2 x 8GB for $10 later.

jeez i just spent 2k on a i7 14700f and rtx 4070ti super build , cant keep up .. pc gaming is such an expensive hobby
That's a fantastic combo, like I say in the video there is always something new coming so I wouldn't let it bother you.
@@PCBuilderChannel thanks for that.. I'm not intending to upgrade for at least a couple years now..
Its really good build bro be happy and enjoy :)
@@saldussapnai3464 thank you , I will
@@2kgamerz434 Dude you are good for a long time, we run literally every flagship 7800x3d/14900k --- 4090/7900... in this house down to --- 3x i5 13600kfs and 6750xt/1660 supers, even the 1660 supers play everything lol..HECK the i7 4770k I have here still does great, so does the 8700... so long as the game has adjustable settings. Heck you can still have a blast on one 1060, I still had one here until I ripped a cap off and couldn't find my solder tweezers and tried to reattach it with a regular iron lol. I stole the cage fan and casing off it for a pi cooler and now it is silicon art lol... I still have a functioning 760 I can probably have a decent time on with some optimizations in the game settings, except I robbed the 3x wind force fans for a home brew router with blow threw cooling lol. I could honestly probably just throw some cheap case fans on it with some duct tape and make a few games run lol. Main point is, if you only plan to game, YOU ARE SET for quite a while. If you want to game at max settings for no reason other than yolo. It's pretty stilly lol. I turn my 4090 down for most games but still find limitiations where its like, why am I running that setting that high except to say I can lol EG. Hell divers with super sampling, it's like, is 4k native not enough lol?
I'll have to see what percentage of them catch on fire, before buying. In the meantime I'll be trying to plug in every single of the 16 power pins on my 4070 Ti Super 100% completely so it also doesn't catch on fire.
In my personal experience, a lot of esports monitors that pro players prefer are around 24 of 25 inch at 1080p. I've tried 27 inch 1440p monitors at 240 htz, but there seemed to be much screen so there is some information that is missed in esports titles so I had to play in a borderless windowed at 1920x1080.
Always enjoy these types of videos! 😊
Thanks for watching!
My new Noctua NH-D15 came with NT-H1 thermal compound. Which is better, the NT-H1 or Arctic Silver MX4? As I technically now have both options. As I already have MX4 on hand.
MX4

Oh goodie, I was hoping to upgrade from a laptop to PC later this year. If only they'd give me a new high-end GPU this year... but nooo, they just had to cancel the project, I suppose due to technical difficulties with the multi-die architecture... but atleast in 6 years the next bunch could have something good. Maybe they'll bring back the old multi-GPU feature that NVidia abandoned. That would be pretty sweet.
I have a 7600x and a 7800xt. I am fine waiting. My last build was a i5 8600k with a 1070Ti and only just upgraded a few months ago. That said if I start upgrading more often then I can actually sell my old parts and get a decent return on them as other then trying to sell my whole old system on facebook market I dont know what to do with it. xD
Hello Jason! I want to build my first pc for mostly fortnite, to play on competitive settings on 240hz. Does the vram matter here? I know it will perform better in some more gpu demanding games, but fortnite on potato settings is more cpu heavy right? Im thinking of like a 4060 (8gb) and 7600x combo, but correct me on the gpu if 12b or 16gb would be better
Fortnite will not need more than 8GB, no. That being said you can grab a much more powerful AMD card for the cost of a 4060, like a 6700XT.
It doesn't matter as much in Fortnite no, but I do recommend still getting as much VRAM as you can in case you want to play other games in the future. Shame to pay for a card that won't allow you to game into the future. Also the 4060 is just weak even in Fortnite compared to other options. Check out our latest video, its our Best Budget Builds 2024 video, the $670 and $750 builds there would do great for Fortnite
RX6500XT works fine on PCIE 3.0 x4 in 1080p, as long as you use settings that give you 60+ fps. 2% loss with a 3600 and 3% loss on a 5600 comparred to PCIE 4.0x4. I've recently benchmarked it along with the 6400 and the A380. The A380 did suffer more with a 7-10% loss in perfomance on PCIE 3.0 x8. I ran Forza 5, Final Fantasy endwalker, SuperPosition (1080p medium), Heaven 4.0 (1080p Ultra, 8xAA), CS2 (1080p low) & Fortnite (1080p medium, no nanites). 6500XT + 5600 really shines in CS2 (240+FPS average), while Fortnite suffered 20% fps-loss with a SATA SSD comparred a to PCIE 3.0x2.
Forza 5 (1080p low), FiFa (1080p everything maxed out)
Me still chilling with my 9700k and 1080 ti. It starting to show some age now. Probably gonna be upgrading after i finish getting parts for my wife budgetish build
Hey Jason, have you heard about analog computing and do you think it will make digital computers (the ones we use at home) obsolete?
I have. Wired magazine did a good article (TBH, I just skimmed it). If they can make it work that would be great, but I also think some of the underlying assumptions about digital computing power usage are changing rapidly. There are also some issues with analog computing due to physical issues (for instance, they store a value as a voltage instead of a binary bit, but what about electrical interference there?).
Hi Jason! 😁
Hello! Hope you are having a great week!
I just want the '800' series mobo for ryzen 9000 to have bada** design. Some of the budget b650 and x670 mobo looked as if they were pulled from 2016. The 800 will probably be pcie 5.0 ready for every model.
Yes!
Hi jason! Do you think the Aero rtx 4070 will fit on Deepcool ch370, perfectly fine?
If you go to PC Part Picker and select that Case, it will only allow you to select GPUs that will fit in that Case.
@@kelley09162 Thanks, man!
hey jason, is MSI PRO B650-S WIFI a good motherboard? i want to pair it with 7600 or 7700 and in future want to get a x3d processor be it 7800x3d or 9800x3d?
Its fine, if you want MSI I think there are better values. See our Best Ryzen Motherboard 2024 for more options.
@@PCBuilderChannel yeah i saw that but the problem is most of those motherboards are out of stock or hasnt been brought to my country at all.
Hey Jason! I have a RX 6800 XT in PC, should I buy a RX 7900 XT to pay 4k gaming or wait for AMD Radeon GPU?😊
I would wait if I was you. 6800 XT is only 15-20% slower than the 7900 XT. I have it and its great got it for $757 including taxes. But for you in my opinion is not worth the hassle. What games do you play?
That's not enough of a jump to be worth it I would think.
Thank you for your thoughts on future proofing. I totally agree with not going down that path. And thanks for telling us about the 7600xt not being good for a pcie gen 3 board. I was aware the 6500xt could have issues like this but not the 6600, 6600xt, 7600xt. Imhoping 7700xt doesn't have this issue as i want to use on with a b450 build.
You'e very welcome, glad you enjoyed this one! And thanks so much for watching :)
the problem with a 1440p monitor is most youtube videos are 1080p and they look so bad and blurry all the time 😭 tho when you get to see something in 1440p its so gorgeous : o
What size is your monitor? If you get a 24" then 1080p should still be manageable.
I have a 27 inch 1440p monitor and 1080p videos still look fine. I've also noticed that the amount of videos that have 1440p available is increasing pretty quickly so it's not that big of a deal.
what GPU would u pair with the 7900x3d? that isn't a 40 series for team green ? and team red ? would it be better to buy team red since u get more fps? or make the jump to 40 series ?
Jason doesn't recommend the 7900X3D because there are issues with it. He says the 7800X3D is better so get that if you don't already have the CPU. As for the GPU if you don't care about Ray Tracing go AMD (Team Red), and the 7900GRE, 7900XT, and 7900XTX are all good GPU choices.
@@kelley09162 and this would let me play in 4k ? N basically plug n play in high settings n forget about it if u will?
I wouldn't go for that CPU if I was you. It has all kinds of issues and the 7800X3D is a much better choice. See our 7800X3D build guide for more
Jason I am still in Dilemma, need some clarification. I own a A520m MB with Ryzen 5 3600 and RX6750xt GPU. With my current MB and CPU, I am unable to use the full potential of my GPU. Should I buy B550 MB and Ryzen 5 5600x ( For performance and over locking ) Or Should I upgrade to AM5? The thing if I upgrade to B500 MB is AM4 good for next 2-3 years?
Easy. Upgrade your CPU to a 5600 or 5700X3D. Both will push the 6750XT with ease. If you're happy but want more FPS, then upgrade to a better GPU.
Thanks @@itsatrap4986
I'd drop in that 5700X3D!
So i won't be "future proofing" when i buy Rtx 5090 7800x3d or better Msi Meg x670e or better Noctua NH-UQ2S cooler North XL case + other random stuff??
You only future-proof by buying a much stronger GPU than you need. When it comes to CPUs, RAM etc. you'll likely never notice a difference.
@@anitaremenarova6662 but the best is under $400. Doesn't even sound like much in the scheme of things.
@@LetsG0Champ It adds up, of course if you're buying a 5090 then money wasn't an issue in the first place.
@@anitaremenarova6662 yeah, i get that. but i just dont understand when people say its not worth it to "future proof". I future proof in everything i buy. I never see the need to buy something, then just a short time later have to buy something else because its now its irrelevent. everyone future proofs their purchases in one or another. this goes for everything
Hey Jason! I'm looking to upgrade to an RX 7700 XT gpu with a 5600 cpu. What model would you recommend? Thamks for your time!
Jason has said before there aren't huge differences between the different models so any model should be fine.
I personally like satfire and xfx.
With that level GPU I'd go for whichever is cheaper. See our Best GPU for Gaming 2024 video for more
I’m kinda future proofing in my current build…but i think it makes sense. Getting 7800x3d/b650/ddr5 combo from Micro Center and i’m throwing my current RTX 2080 in it for the time being (Coming from prebuilt with i7 8700k, 600w power supply, Z390 MB). Then planning to get a 5090 on release, so just accounting for having a 5090 in this build rather than my current 2080.
Ah so you got the Gigabyte Bundle. Are you enjoying it so far?
is there a place i can buy US cards for the US price and have it sent to the UK?
Hey Jason, I have a Ryzen 3700x paired with a 7800xt. I don’t want to worry about any upgrades for a while. If I drop in a 5700x3d will that be sufficient for 7ish years at least? Or should I just not worry about it because the 3700x seems to be doing fine. Background: I don’t mind dropping graphics settings to get fps up as time goes on. I was using a 2060 as my gpu until just a couple days ago and didn’t mind dropping the resolution on my 1440p monitor to 1080p to make certain games get higher frame rates
You'd want to upgrade that CPU so you don't have an imbalance and the 5700X3D is a good choice. Unsure how long it will be sufficient but it's a great combo now.
@@kelley09162 so follow up question then, I only have a wraith prism cooler. Will that be enough for the 5700x3d? Or do I need to get a single tower thermalright one?
@@BRADtheDAD33 you'd want to buy as Jason says the included cooler isn't great.
5700X3D is a great choice! See our Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024 video for more
will the new amd cpus work with b650 mb or is an upgrade needed?
It will work.
I can recommend the Nvidia rtx 3060 12 gig. Just recently built a budget amd ryzen 5600 based system. Cyberpunk 2077 runs super smooth with this combo.
Yeah the 3060 is good if you want Nivdia Features or VR. Otherwise the 6700XT or 6750XT is a better value. However given that the stock is drying out, then I would just get the 7700XT for a little bit more.

Loved your point about future proofing. I've had a GTX 1080 for coming up 8 years, amazing GPU. Now I feel like rebuilding to handle an RTX 4090. Is it gonna be the end all be all GPU when I get it Q4 this year? Probably not. Will this be enough of a performance jump to satisfy all of my gaming needs? Oh yeah, for at least the next 5-6 (with the assumption of maintaining my components). We live once damnit, don't be afraid to pull the trigger cause of bs FOMO, there's always gonna be better in this market at an especially fast rate. I love this channel man. Very knowledgeable info!
Thank you! Hope you keep enjoying the content
The only part I think is worth thinking about is your PSU. When it comes to future ask your self this question can my PSU power an upgrade to both my CPU and GPUs, We all know both parts have become power hungry, and I have in past use a good PSU in more than one PC Build.
Also, ask yourself, "What am I going to do with a complete computer that's missing a PSU?". Any value you might hold onto is lost in the old computer
@@johnnymeansiiFor me, most of the time I do slow-rolling hardware updates, so case psu and the fans are left alone, for example, I would upgrade my mother board and CPU, and then a few years later I would get a new GPU. I try to get around 4-5 years out of major components or 2-3 generations of hardware.
Jason I wanted to ask if my Pc can handle 128gb of ram in total 2x48 and 2x16gb and my power supply is 1000W, a I9-13900k and 4070ti z790 motherboard
I don't recommend that personally. No one needs that kind of RAM, not even for professional level production builds. And it may cause issues.
I finally got all my parts for my first self build gaming PC and Main Hardware ist a 7800X3D, 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL 30, RTX 4070 ti super and lian Li EVO dynamic RGB Case and lian li Uni Fan and a AIO and i think for QHD is good to Go for the next 3 years+ and so i can Safe Money for the next Gen stuff 😅

@@anitaremenarova6662 10 years!!! That's crazy. 3-5 would be more realistic.
@@jimhall1131 If you're getting it for 1440p then it's indeed 10. 3-5 for 4K.
@@anitaremenarova6662 Even at 1440, with ever increasing high framerate monitors, newer game engines, new games, etc. it's highly unlikely the kind of person that buys hardware at that level of performance will last anywhere close to 10 years. My PC with similar specs, gaming at 1440/360Hz with a 4080 will likely not make it more than 4 years before I'll be itching for what the new offerings will be able to achieve.
Could use some more recommendations on what to get for a first time build. I'm playing FFXIV at the moment and want something for the future expansion that is coming out with a graphics update. Was looking to get a RX 6600 with a Ryzen 5 7600 since I wanted to build a aesthetic budget pc but still can play the game.
That would be an imbalance. If getting a 6600 GPU you'd want a 5600 CPU. Or you can get a 7600 CPU and up the GPU to the 7600XT or 6700XT/6750XT.
I'd would build a Ryzen 5 5600 and a 6650XT if you have about $600. As far as aesthetic, get a case with RGB fans and cooler with RGB.
No don't do it! See our Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024 to learn about GPU bottleneck and why its such a bad idea. It might help you figure out what you really need too

The question about needing to dump more power is legit though. We are hitting limits with cpu architecture though. Transistors used to be 200-300 atoms wide still, silicon’s atomic size is about 0.2 nanometers making today’s transistors about 70 silicon atoms wide. We stopped scaling the channel length down below 20 nm because below that at current tehcnology you run into quantum mechanical effects like electron tunneling too much. Newer generations, like 5 nm, is more a mnemonic than anything, this does not mean transistor density itself is not going up, it very much is, but newer technologies rely on things like taller fins in transistors, supply voltage scaling etc. Right now scaled devices are so small, the dopants have statistical behavior, and the devices stop being so consistent, this is an obvious problem. So we need advancements still and the need to come fromsomehwere. But remember: the hardware will not function without software. Software that just eats cycles and mallocs like it is free. My brother is DevOps and he just "If it works and is reliable, all good, screw optimisation." Just look at older but technically better (compilation wise and resource wise) languages like C/C++ but we also have newer like D/Julia and for better malloc Rust. Instead peope love to code in Python/PHP/Ruby and while they have their place, humongous frameworks that eat and eat (looking at you Electron) and interpreted that rely on GC (Java pls, C#, F#) are just too inefficient. No more JIT, no more GC, all compiled, all memory safe. This is half the battle. Also for other hardware, unlimited drawcalls and RDMA/iWarp/RoCe on every NIC or userspace stack (works great for me on BSD). We really need that 0 copy, it is okay still on 2.5Gbit, starts dragging on 5 and forget it on 10. This is unacceptable.
I remember when the "experts" Said that the limits of a CPU's was 60Mhz.
Programmers have been so horrendously mismanaged for decades, they can't possibly do their jobs properly except in less hierarchical organizations working on projects that they love. Managers always act like taking the time to do things properly is a waste of time, and that problems can always be fixed later with a patch, but that's a vicious cycle that gets worse over time. This has been accepted as necessary. I blame the managers and even more, the idiot executives above them.
@@matriximaster Yeah but the uncertainty principle of electron super location makes things difficult haha.
@@matriximaster LOL. I remember a BYTE magazine cover (and wish I still had it) that had a road going off into the distance with speed limit signs - 4MHz, 8MHz, 16MHz, 32MHz?
I'm not an expert, sorry if my question is stupid. But if they can't reduce the transistors size anymore to put more of them in a given space ( CPU surface ), why don't they increase the CPU surface in all 3 dimensions to put more transistors in a new given space ?

thoughts on buying a used "good" motherboard on amazon? Also maybe i didnt look hard enough but does Asus warranty cover used motherboards off of amazon?
I personally don't recommend it, there are usually good budget new options available and that's one part I prefer new
Future proofing Used to think of that back in the day but nowadays I decided to just draw a line on a build, buy the components that matches that budget and call it the day. It all depends on how many years you plan to run your system till it becomes obsolete
My goal is always close to 10yrs. 4070tiS will be replacing my GTX 960, 5700X3D my i5-6600
Future Proofing is an optional mindset, It's not mandatory as it depends on the person's analysis and decisions. My goal is to use my $1800 Gaming PC Build back in 2021 to last about 5 years (At the very least) to 10 Years. Once I'm forced to do low settings 1440p or 1080p High on the games I play.

I'm more than happy with my 13600k (it's insane) so I'm not too upset about this. I initially wanted AM4 but DDR5 anything was way too overpriced at the time. I was also skeptical of whether DDR5 upgradability would really be possible as RAM speeds rise to who knows what.
It's all the same, drum up hype for marginal increases in performance. Nobody has to care about new CPUs until gen 60 and 9000 GPUs are here.
1) Jason, what is the minimum gpu you recommend to pair with I7-12700k 2) will DDR4 motherboards be in the new intel 15th gen boards?

I love my 5900x + 7900GRE
A component that I believe actually can be future-proofed is your PSU. It can remain in your system for a decade. Getting just enough PSU for now can cost you much more, in the long term, than oversizing it right off the bat, and the initial difference can only be $20-30. That’s much better than spending money on an entirely new PSU to support your shiny, new, beefy GPU that you snag down the road. But this mostly applies to people that know they are going to continue upgrading their GPU to a higher tier that will require more electron juice.

Wait until next gen, unless you want to use RT or play at 4K there's no reason to upgrade.
If you were to upgrade one go GPU as AMD is coming out with new CPUs sometime this year. So later in the year or next year would be a better time to upgrade the CPU.

@@mastermemer8351 6700XT, same price rn 12GB VRAM and around 15% faster. RT or 1080p upscaling is out of the question on a card that cheap anyways.
Its a terrible price to performance card! See our latest GPU Market Update video for some much better options
Motherboards. I need your opinion on QUALITY motherboards for the AM5 platform. I want to REALLY research good parts for making a build later this year, around black friday/cyber monday time. Probably 7800X3D and MAYBE that 9800X3D :O Saving up money in the meantime. I'm looking for something with real quality VRM's and don't mind sinking a good chunk of the money into the Mobo - I will be going with something like a X670 because I do want 16 lane access to both PCIE slots, and obviously at least 2x M.2 ... what are the real quality builds? Not just "gamer" marketing fluff? THANK YOU.
MSI Tomahawk and Asus ROG Strix are quite good. Jason has a few videos on motherboards to help you decide.

Good point on RT, i feel the same way, its all about the upscale now, intel Xess 1.3 has given amd gpus a boost , because fsr is really bad.
Good evening Jason, help a brother out if you can, any build suggestions for someone that wants a stress free build for a 1440p 240hz monitor? What i mean is i wanna be able to have max settings and great stable fps in my games (mainly single player) without having to do any workarounds, my PC will be gaming only and i can pay for the best build that fits the criteria. Thank you in advance (since the video only covered budget 1440p)
7800X3D + 7900XT/X.
It depends on your budget! Check out our Best GPU/CPU Combo 2024 video to get you started
Never future proof, but you can buy with a mind towards the future in getting a MB with Gen 5 lanes everywhere, yes it overkill now, but as the build ages those faster lanes will eventually be usable for nice improvements. Also, I'm buying parts as i can afford them so i can avoid putting them on CC. Just waiting now for a MB i really want, if i bought it now i'd get the asrock Taichi Lite, but I kind of want to see the newer AMD chipset that will come later this year.
For how long will 7800X3D be relevant for? When would it be smart to switch? Thanks
Its going to depend on your GPU. The 5800X3D is still very relevant so my guess is the 7800X3D is going to be super strong for years to come
Rekon the 7800x3d will be good enough for the 5090?
Yes
Why wouldn't it be, these worries are pointless since you won't be using a 5090 to play at 1080p anyways.
Oh yes!
@@PCBuilderChannel Thanks Jason love your vids!
IIRC Zen3 prices settled in about Q2/22 in response to Alder Lake and the mighty 5800x3D became the gaming flagship. Initially the $200 3600 was the value gamer, while Zen3 won plaudits as the best for a whole year, where demand went crazy so the launch prices stuck. Zen4 retained mostly the Zen3 launch pricing with DDR5 & mobo costs higher making it premium. Haven't most Zen4 prices settled already this year? Zen5 will want to reassert the full brand value. Some Zen4 have reportedly climbed back up, possibly a sign of dwindling stock. Historically you'd expect DDR5 transition to be done by now, but AM4 appears to retain appeal. Floating prices avoids annoyance and stalling sales in the run up to new releases. It seems a better way to manage things than have firesales of stock competing with newly launched hotness.
i got a 7800x3d and 7900XTX build because of you thanks brudda
That's a great combo you got there!! So glad we could help
My 4090 is overkill for all gaming but Microsft Flight simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12. Won't change now.

8700k, 1080Ti, 32 GB ram....need to stretch this out a bit longer. Any recommendations for 1440p Gray Zone?
Honestly the 1080ti is still a decent GPU to this day. If you want to wait another year or two you can. However if you feel that your 1080ti isn’t up to spec, then I understand. If you care about Nivdia features and want something that will be futureproof for 5 years on new 1440p games and be 200% than the 1080ti then I would recommend The RTX 4070TI super 16GB. It’s only around $800, has 16GB VRAM on 256bit memory bus, excellent raytracing , and the performance is equivalent to the 4080. The 4080 super while better is only 5% faster and costs $200 more. The 4090 is overkill for that game but that GPU can be kept for while before having to upgrade. The only problem is that it’s very expensive at $1,800, only performs 30% faster than the 4080 super, and will lose value like a rock when the 5090 releases. But if you are on a budget then for Gary zone the RTX 4070 should be the starting point. Ideally I would spend the extra $50 and get the super as it offers a 25% performance improvement for only 10% more
If you don’t care about Nvidia features Grazy zone will still run fine on AMD My recommendations for AMD Would be the 7900GRE for $550 Or the 7900XT
I know they say don't future proof cpu and gpu. How about amd motherboards. Is it OK to future proof am5 with an x670, so you have no issue with new cpus.
The differences between X670 and B650 are minimal outside of some additional PCIE lanes (which means more M.2 connections or more USB connections). If you find a good deal on an X670 board and you like the features vs similarly priced B650, then go for it. But I'd just pretend that X670 = B650 and make sure you get the features you want on the board (but I still don't recommend A620 due to lack of precision boost overdrive).
There are some differences. If you wanna use PCI-E 4.0 x16 and 1 NVMe Slot on 4.0, you will need go buy the toptier of the brands X670. I mostly go for the higher end Mobo because of the 10 Gbits Ethernet, so I dont need to add a PCI Network Interface and my Rig stays Futureproof. Also only high end has SPDIF Audio Port. If you add a PCI Device or a second NVMe, on X670 PCIE 4.0 drops to x8.
I hope the higher midrange GPUs of amd are getting better efficiency. I want to build a new PC in middle of sommer when the market is down and right now im considering a nvidea card again instead of my decision to go with amd (7900gre-4070S)
Would you be able to do a hypothetical build for high end rtx 5000 card. Outside of the 5000 card price we dnt know yet, would love to get a head start on parts throughout the year before the 5000 cards drop later this year, early next year.
I would just be guessing until we see the data. But I'll get out guides asap once we have real numbers!
@@PCBuilderChannel I understand lol I’m just so anxious lol
Hey Jason! I wanted to thank you for all your help. Between serving in the military and starting a family, my last PC build was in the late 90s when I was in HS. I've been a console gamer but am now making the switch to PC since I fell in love with my Steam Deck. I've been watching all your videos and here is my build that I'm going to tackle this weekend. The reason I'm using a TV for my monitor is because I'm getting it for free as a 15-year work anniversary gift from my employer. And I got a nice bonus, so I wanted a higher-tier PC. Let me know what you think (the CPU/GPU combo prob sounds familiar): CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600; GPU: ASRock Phantom Radeon RX 7900XT; MB: ASUS ROG STRIX B650-A WIFI; SSD: Team Group MP44L M.2 2280 2TB; Memory: Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB; CPU Cooler: ID-COOLING White 240mm AIO Cooler w/ 2.1" Customizable Display; PSU: MSI MAG A750GL; Monitor: LG evo C3 48" TV
Looks good to me though if going with a White Build the new ASRock B650 Steel Legend or the Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite Ice would be better Motherboard choices since they better fit a White Build. Also if in the US go with the ADATA Core Reactor II 850W PSU as it only $10 more vs the MSI and it has a 10 Year Warranty vs 5 on the MSI.
@@kelley09162 Thanks. I really appreciate the suggestions.
@@CaptBirdBrain you're welcome. Glad I could help.
Sounds good! Check out our 7600 build guide on the channel for more if you need. Best wishes on your build!
