â¶Sponsor: Best Buy Top Deals go.magik.ly/ml/1papb/ What is your PC situation right now? Upgrading or building soon? Please like the video as it really helps out and tell your story in a new comment!
Once a month we put out the call for submissions on our community page and alert people that its time on our twitter @pcbuilderjason. You can pop over to the community page and see the call for submissions this month for more info. Submissions are closed at the moment but we will go again in January!
Hello Jason, I've slowly trying to upgrade my build, but I fear I might be slowly going down the wrong path! Got a new GPU then had to upgrade my PSU and then everything just started unfolding. Looking at a ÂŁ500 give or take. I used the pc for casual games like CSGO/Source, Tomb Raider and also use it for music production. Thanks a bunch in advance!
I love Boost My Build! It's an awesome and interactive way to communicate and also get actual curated help from someone that is well-versed with computers and has the first-hand experience of experimenting and benchmarking with actual up-to-date hardware. Not only that, but you also dive into ALL the components of the system and actually "boost the build". You are awesome, Jason! Keep up with the videos and this series! Merriest of Christmas to you, your family, and Ambrosius!
The quality of your content is over 9000, Jason. It's a privilege to witness your success, man. Almost a quarter million subs, wow! Merry Christmas to you, your better half, and Lord Ambrosius! Keep grinding, brother!
Over 9000! (: Thanks so much Thomas! Really appreciate your support of the channel over its journey. The team says hello (especially Lord Ambrosius). Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Honestly, these series are the greatest way to learn. It's really entertaining and informative, and it helps the community at the same time. Wish you and ur family all the best!
Even though I have a system that Iâm perfectly content with, I still love watching the channel and keeping up with the market. Keep up the good work!đ
For the first build it is actually good bang for buck. The 5500 was at $89 and Asus Prime ii is $80. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($89.00) Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A II Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($79.99 @ Newegg) Memory: Silicon Power GAMING 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($40.97 @ Amazon) Storage: Silicon Power P34A60 512 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($28.99 @ Amazon) Case: Rosewill PRISM S500 ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Asus TUF Gaming B 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($53.46 @ Amazon) Total: $342.40
also good chance that B450 board will infact post unless its really old stock. And even if it is AMD will usually ship a single core CPU to you which will allow you to flash the bios to one which supports the 5500. Also.... 6500XT wont work on PCI-E gen3? someone forgot to tell my GPU that.
@@Sovek86 yeah new stock boards should support the lastest CPUs but to be safe get one with a bios flashback. 6500XT/6400 needs pcie 4 to run optimally.
I always find value in Boost My Build videos! I'll consider myself an experienced PC builder since I've built my own PC systems for the past 20 years, and built several mining rigs myself in 2021, but I'm still learning so much from Jason's Boost My Build videos, because he highlights many subtle areas that can limit performance and really optimises the budget to squeeze out the maximum performance possible. Especially shaving cost away from PC cases and directing them to upgrade the other parts. The part about Nvidia GPUs being better for Adobe software compared to Radeon GPUs really surprised me as I didn't even know about that, and Davinci Resolve being faster on the 7900XT compared to the 4080 really surprised me as well.
That's awesome to hear! The dream of this channel is to help new/returning PC Builders while still giving value to practiced PC Builders. Thanks so much for the feedback it means a lot to us! Happy Holidays!
For the first build, I definitely would have gone with a B550 board over an A520, just so he has PCI-E Gen 4 compatibility for when he inevitability wants to upgrade the CPU. Last build, I would question going with a 3070 over a 3060ti. I'm not sure about the video editing aspect but in gaming, the difference between those two cards is usually less than 10 FPS and you will typically end up spending at least $100 extra for that small gain. You are right in saying that this build deserves a 3080 though, especially at this price point. I would also have tried to get a 7200 RPM HDD in there.
Jason is awesome. I've left a few questions directly down in the comments, and so far he's 3 for 3 with answering me. What other channel does that? Its absurd how cool that is especially that the channel is getting bigger. He will be at 1M subs and beyond no doubt. Say goodbye to the day job if you haven't already Jason!
Thank you! We work really hard to answer as many comments as we can (it's not always possible to but we do our best). I think its important to connect to the community in this way. So glad you are enjoying the content!
Man, really glad I found your channel, I love how you go through things and really show off better than others, imo, the way to really be efficient with the builds and money spent.
I'm a high end enthusiast so I've never actually sat down and watched this from front to back before. But it's really awesome! Even as someone who has been building PCs for myself and friends for about 20 years, I learned some stuff from this video. Excellent work, I'm gonna go back and watch a bunch of the previous ones.
Thats so great to hear! That's the dream, to be useful to new/returning pc builders and provide fun and new things for more experienced builders. Thank you for the feedback it means a lot. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
6:20 For anyone looking for a budget case, i highly recommend the Gamemax Revolt. It's also 50 dollars, it comes with 4 RGB fans, an RGB hub, 2 SSD and 2 HDD holders, and the fans aren't on the bottom. I do admit that Gamemax doesn't make very reliable PSUs, but their cases are really good in cost efficency. I am confident that this case is one of the best ones for the price.
Well I finally bit the bullet and just received all of my parts. Took a while to decide but I appreciate you Jason. I always referred back to your videos to make sure. Ended up with a 6700 xt, 5700x, airflow 4000D case, Aorsus B550 Pro motherboard, 750w PSU (great deal on this 120 down to 55 at Newegg) cpu cooler, 3 addtl fans etc all came in at about 1k USD. I tripled my computing power over the one I built about 7 years ago and actually spent about 400 less this time. Great time to be building. Thanks for all you do Jason! Hope you have a great Holiday! I will be searching back to your vids to help me get this thing together I am sure. đ
Love BMB so much! Really helps even builders who have already built their first PC. I had the B660 version of the z690 Gigabyte board in the last build of the video and have been in love with it so far! You really look out for the consumers wallet and make sure they're getting the best bang for their buck.
That's so great to hear! That's the dream with these, to be helpful to new/returning builders and fun/useful to experienced builders too. Appreciate the feedback it means a lot!
Hi Jason. Love the channel! Would you do a video discussing audio codecs in motherboards and the associated audio peripherals? It's a common theme when you're evaluating mobos but it's still a weaker part of my understanding when building PCs. Like you, I value great audio input/output so my teammates clearly hear me and for me to enjoy a premium sound/music feel. Typical questions range from what is a digital or analog signal? is digital or analog input better? should I plug audio peripherals straight into the motherboard or the case's front IO panel? What is ALC? 1200? 1220? etc? Thank you very much in advance!
What do you think about this build: RX 6900xt, ryzen 7 5700x, gigabyte b550 aorus elite v2, 32gb ripjaws v 3600mhz, sn570 1tb sdd, lian li lancool 205 case, 2 p14 fans extra, rm1000e psu, id cooling se 226 xt cooler.
I recently got a Ryzen 5 5600 for christmas but I had a asus b450 mobo. With a ryzen5 2600 in the motherboard I was able to flash my bios with the latest version and the computer posted even with the 2600 installed. Plugged in the 5600 and it works like a charm.
After binge watching these videos the last 24 hours, Iâm really questioning my latest build đđ Needed a jack of all trades that could handle music production and recording, autocad drafting, and some gaming on the side. At a minimum I wanted a mobo with a Thunderbolt header. $2000 budget and wanted to source my local microcenter for in stock parts. CPU: 13700k $379.99 Mobo: MSI z690 MPG Edge Wi-Fi D4 Ram: Corsair vengence rgb RT cl16 3600 2x16gb $119.99 SSD: inland platinum 2TB m.2 $129.99 Gpu: powercolor RX 6800 fighter $499.99 Case: Lian li O11 mini $109.99 Cooler: MSI coreliquid c360 $159.99 PSU: EVGA 850gm SFX 80+gold $179.99 Case fans: Lian li sl140 2 pack $69.99 Lian li sl 120 3 pack $79.99 and single sl120 $24.99 Total price: $2,054.89 pre tax. Howâd I do?
Hi Jason. Give me what you think of this build: > i5-12400 (UHD 730) > 2x8 Gb G.Skill DDR4 CL16 3200 MHz > Asus TUF Gaming B660M-Plus WiFi D4 > Gigabyte Aorus 500 Gb > Crucial P5 Plus 1Tb > Toshiba P300 3Tb > Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh ARGB > Corsair RM 750X > Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo > 2x Be Quiet! Silent Wing 3 PMW 120mm & 140mm (one of each mm) This is not a question of "should i buy it" since it's my PC for the last 6 months. The question is, since i still don't have a dedicated GPU, what should i go for? I was thinking on a RTX 3060 Ti (the RTX 40 might be too much for the CPU to handle) As for the use of the PC, gaming, internet and some videos/movies/tv shows; i don't do heavy work on this one. I'm a SP gamer, i rarely play MP, and my tastes are vast when it comes to genres; but i do like to max out as far as i can. As for the reason of not getting a GPU...i was absent from gaming for the last 10 years (yeah i know, i have a lot of catching up to do) as such i'm playing a lot of older games (and some indies not so old) that don't need more than the UHD 730 so i felt i could let it slide for the moment, less money to spend. For example, i just played Prey (2006) perfectly, all maxed out, at 60fps.
I did one for the last one just for fun before I saw the replacement parts and even with Swedish prices, for $2500 I managed to get together an i7-12700k G.Skill 64GB 3600MHz RAM MSi z690 motherboard 2TB NVME 2280 Dell 27" 1440p 165Hz monitor to stay in budget: Zotac RTX 3070 Cooler Master 750W 80 Plus Random cheap case Video editing with an i5 or less than 64GB memory just seemed stupid so wanted to check if I could get within budget and don't think I did too badly. Now gonna watch the rest :)
One thing I like about these videos is that it helps learn about brands I never heard of. It's even better that you have experience and knowledge of a broader range of products that helps us make better choices.
Hey Jason, I live in London, UK. Last year my iMac died during the mid-peak crisis, so my hand was forced into building a new PC ASAP. I've already built my PC with the help of my more knowledgeable sibling, but I'd want your insight if it was money well spent. At the time, the PC was mainly for my studies and gaming. A few months after my studies ended, I realised how terrible my AOC monitor (ÂŁ180) was when I started hardcore gaming and immediately bought the G7 Odyssey (ÂŁ420 discount). After that, my 'hope' was to game at 240fps to match the Hz, but I got hit with reality as soon as I booted up Warzone 1 for the first time and got 150fps on competitive settings. 70-150 fps on other single-player games - GoW, Tomb Raider, Spiderman, Witcher 3, A Plague Tale on high-ultra. The only game to hit 200-240 fps was the mass effect remastered series xD. FYI those numbers are without RTX since those numbers significantly drop to unstable 60fps. I originally went with the 5600x (ÂŁ330 at the time) but upgraded to 5800x3D last month (ÂŁ360). I won a ÂŁ1400 Amazon voucher, so I got my MSI 3070 (ÂŁ1200 - ik, man, there was nothing I could've done) and my SM850 NVME for free. PCPARTPICKER didn't have my PC case, but it is the Tecware VXR for ~ÂŁ90. x570e mobo for ÂŁ300. Can you please look at my PC build and lmk where I spent too much or if there were better alternatives? How can I hit my goal of close to ~240fps without modifying my build significantly? I was thinking of a 4080(ti) soon, but those prices are insanely ridiculous. Whereas a used 3090 on eBay goes for ~ÂŁ700-900, the 4080 looks better when the difference is just another ÂŁ300. I really don't know where to go from here. Leave it as it is right now, get a 3090 or wait for price drops on the 40 series. AMD really let us down this year so I'm going to avoid those. Lmk what you think is the best course of action and whether I built a decent PC spec-wise. TY
My PC right now is using an i7 6700k and RX 6600, PCIe 3.0 while not going to give maximum performance it's still a MASSIVE improvement over my RX 470 and I don't plan to change my CPU + motherboard in several years, I can finally play games very smoothly with the instant replay function being much smoother. Obviously people that want to either build/upgrade their overall PC specs shouldn't be using 3.0 anymore but if you are stuck with 3.0 like me, PCIe 4.0 GPUs are still very good and will work just fine without any problems.
Jason I have recently helped my nephew build his first gaming pc with his own money and with gifts he has asked for. He is using a Ryzen 5 5600x with a Thermaltake UX200 CPU cooler, MSI PRO B550 motherboard, 32 gig of (4x8gig) 3200 ram, 1tb m.2 gen 4 SSD, 1 TB 2.5 SSD, 650 watt PSU, and a Rosewill case. He is currently using a used RX 580 and he has asked for gift cards for his birthday in couple months, what would be his best upgrade route around the $400 range. We would like to run high setting at 1080p or mid settings at 1440p. I know you have recommended 6600xt for this type of build but with GPU prices declining what is also the biggest GPU that a 5600x can push with a possible 5800x upgrade next holiday season. Thank you for the great content.
Here's my build specs Ryzen 7 5700x Colorful battleaxe Rtx 3060ti Tforce 32gb (4x8) Msi x570s carbon max wifi Rog ryujin 240 aio Hyte y60 Seasonic 750watts 3 pcs Samsung 990 pro m.2 1tb each 1 pcs Crucial Mx 500 2tb Lian li al120 fans 5pcs Asus rog 1440p Wacom graphic tablet 1440p My main prio on this build is for workstation, that is why i dont buy high end gpu, and 5700x is a balance cpu i can go for ryzen 7 5800x3d or ryzen 9 5900x but t i hate power hunger and heat. My room isn't air-condition room no windows also. And i dont do overclock because i hate heat, gpu max temp 65, cpu max temp 57. Underload with heavy applications and programs.
Lol that exit from Mr Bear was gold đââŹđđ„°. Definitely people do get caught in product hype, rgb etc and throw budgets away on things that arenât part of their pc need requirements. Glad to see a more target focused build made on what the pc is for and not necessarily for their shopfront window show piece to gloat on redit đđđ„°â
there are actually quite a few A520M motherboards out there with the the necessary firmware already installed to run ryzen 5000 series. 100 dollars for a A520m is to be honest an overspend. You could actually go back to the B450M and see if you can do one of 2 things: ask somebody you now an AMD ryzen 3000 chip to lend it and do a bios update that way, or ask the vendor to update it for you.
Just a side note I think the asus duel models of nvidia and amd graphics cards are a bit underrated for example, there are only 2 models of 6700xt in Australia that will fit in my case due to my poor motherboard choice the sapphire pulse and the asus duel. The sapphire has nothing wrong with it but has no cool lighting and the black and red dosent fit a lot of color schemes very well. The asus on the other hand looks great with a slick black design and has a small amount of lighting which makes all the difference
Actually Jason Nvidia had/has a feature called DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) which basically upscales/renders a larger resolution and then shrinks it back down to your screen. Usually this results in a crisper experience, at the cost of fps.
Came here to say the same thing. âVirtual Super Resolutionâ is the AMD equivalent. I used it to get to 1440p before I could upgrade my monitor this holiday.
You can buy a brand new RX 580 on Ali express right now for 70 bucks, with slightly weaker performance, but it would give you more stability then buying a 580 of ebay that was used for mining for a long time.
I wanted to change my case so I went along with the Aerocool Airhawk Duo that you recommended. I got it from Amazon for ÂŁ65. And also the Aerocool, addressable, three fan RGB set to go with it (ÂŁ25). I must say that for the price of the case, it was an excellent buy and fully justifies your recommendation. The best thing about it apart from the case in general, is the room you have to build in. Why this case wasn't/isn't being sold in the US is beyond me. Just for the curious: My build is Ryzen 5 5600x CPU, Noctua NH-U12S redux cooler, ASUS RX 6600, Duo GPU, Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4X8) 3200ghz Dimms, Crucial P2 1 TB Internal SSD and 3x1TB SSD cards.
Ryzen 5 5500, Asus tuf gaming, and v21 case. I'd stick with Asus tuff or msi motherboards, quality matters here and gold power supply. Stop buying monitors, buy a flat screen TV.
i built my own pc recently the end cost was ÂŁ1300(and small change) for that i got a ryzen 7 5800x and a 3080 in the uk you can get a used 3080 for around ÂŁ500(+-50 it is changing a lot) I also didn't cheap out on anything I got a similar b550 motherboard as is in the second build a 32gb 3600mhz non rgb ram kit I did buy an over the top 360mm aio as my room can get to nearly 40C in the summer(i live in the hottest part of the uk we see consistent mid 30C temps in summer) for psu I got a fully modular 80+gold gigabyte 850w(at the time it was cheaper than a 750w) and finally a corsair 4000d airflow case
Imagine I've not been long enough here learning from Jason yet I shocked at the same time when I saw the PC Build people send to Jason That's how educating Your video is sir, Thank You On other note, all of my budget build community call me elitist
These videos are a TREASURE cove of knowledge. The video descriptions are an insane amount of work too. Got a sub from me just for how much effort these videos take.
Hey Jason, I love the series and I'm usually very impressed with how good your parts lists are especially compared to other youtubers. That being said I disagree with the first list. You said b660 motherboards are priced too high and yet you've went with an expensive a520 motherboard in your list , which is essentially equivalent to intels h610s, which are cheaper than that motherboard in your list. theres also currently an asrock b660 for 80 dollars. in terms of gaming performance the 12100f is slightly better and you'd actually save 10 dollars and gain a slight bit of performance going with intel there.
Hello there, Jason. For the second build I actually tried to boost it. I included a budget air cooler. For the case, I went for the Bitfenix Enso mesh ARGB, which is a case I personally like. same ROG motherboard, same GPU, the TUF psu, same WD SSD, same monitor, but i switched the mouse to the ROG Impact 2.
Jason for President! We need more cats in the world, let that be the manifesto of the campaign. Love this series dude! Keep them coming its so so so underrated and we all love it
Haha! More cats sounds like a great platform (; So glad you enjoyed. Do us a favor and like the video if you haven't yet, tells youtube to share it. Hope you have a great rest of your week!
Great video for 1st timers like myself. My 1st gaming PC was a Predator AG3610 which by now is virtualy slower than chess. Been looking a prebuilts for quite some time now and thinking of building my own. Just wondering if anything off my Predator is even salvageable.
What would you advise as a CGU between a RTX 3060 and a RX 6000 ? Or is there something better at this price ? I'm planning to combo it to a Ryzen 5 5600X. Thank you if you answer !
the big advantage of hdd's is that the full data can be recovered if the harddrive decides to die. So if you want to store important data (like photography or your precious first minecraft world) it might be a legitimate decision to choose a hdd.
My next build. approximate price is 100000 INR ( just over 1200USD) i dont game much. my old system is 3rd gen intel is almost 10yrs old and also planning to use this new one for long time. already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. cant decide on case. 1) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (with Stock Cooler) 2) MoBo: Asus TUF Gaming B650M Plus (Non Wifi) 3) Memr: Crucial 8x2=16gb DDR5 4800Mhz 4) PSU: Corsair cv650w 80+ bronze 5) Storage: WD Black SN770 500gb NVME and 500gb HDD 6)GPU: Asus DUAL Radeon RX 6600 8 GB Video Card. Thanks đ
There is a very glaring issue with the last pc build. In the build the person added a DVD version of windows 11 for 120 euro's. I was going to make the point that you can get a windows 11 key for a few bucks, but then I also realized this person cannot even run the dvd because the build has no dvd drive. I was surprised you did not pick up on that. In short, get rid of the w11 dvd. Buy a 5 dollar or so key on a webshop, make a w11 media usb drive for installation, and put the money maybe in another nvme drive to get fully rid of that awful hdd drive.
the Lian Li LANCOOL III RGB ATX pc case, has this one flaw: The two tension springs, that holds the latch mechanism in place, these two springs tend to get deformed easily, if you push the top front latch mechanism too far in.
There was one big thing i caught with you talking about the rx 6000 series and new gpus in general PCIE GEN 4 IS NOT REQUIRED, for cards like the 6600x or lower the difference is very minimal. You CAN use Gen 4 card on pcie gen 3, it will work just fine but for high enders like 3080 pic gen 4 is worth it for performance. Budget buyers dont worry
@PC Builder finally built my pc with what was available near me. Current Specs below: Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Smart Case - Black Asus Tuf Gaming B550M Plus (WiFi) Ryzen 5600G ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 V2 OC Edition Gaming 12GB Crucial Max 16GB 4000mhz Inland professional 1TB gen3 Corsair RM750 Gold CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240L RGB Had to get it done as my old machine died, thus upgrading some of it in fact have a 5800X3D sitting right here now. will be upgrading a couple more items I'm sure. lol See any issues, I would have preferred 32gbs of 3600mhz but went with what I could get quickly near by.
Hard drives are best for long term storage. M.2s and SSDs are faster and work well for running the OS, but should not be depended on for long-term storage, because they are particularly susceptible to bit rot. Don't mock hard drives, they're going to be around for a long time.
To me, I would spend on the 5800x3d. Motherboard selections for it is great and I would pick a midrange to high-end B550 motherboard and a 2x8/2x16 3600mhz ram.
Dell 2721dgf actually has backlight flickering on less than 100% brightness. It flickers on high frequency (read rtings review) but still can be harmful for sensitive eyes - you get eyestrain and tire of using this monitor for a few hours. If you get one of these - be sure you can return it. HP x27q is better choice actually
Hard drives are still a way from being done in my opinion. Anyone who does serious videography or video editing will probably need a large amount of storage. At the moment you can bung two 16TB hard drives into any mid size tower case and get 32TB of storage for $500. The closest you can get to this with SSDs is to buy 4x 8TB drives costing well over $500 each. While HDDs are great for storage, of course I agree that some kind of SSD is a must to actually work from.
I myself use only SSD's. In my current RTX 2070 laptop, I have the 512GB Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD that came with it and a 2TB Samsung QVO SATA III SSD I installed myself. The PC I'm building is going to have at least 4TB od M.2 SSD Mass Storage in addition to the top end components I'm building it with.
Depending on where you live buying a used PC is like 70x more worth it than buying all parts "new". Got a gtx 1070 build for 600⏠incluing 16gb ram and an 8 core intel cpu.
Great content as usual đ. However I must say that people get caught up in the PSU deals too much. Companies like nvidia or AMD are in partnerships with these power supplies so of course they want you to purchase something completely overkill. Don't fall for it, I'm using a 7900 XTX & 5900X on a 750w gold unit with zero problems. Even Igors lab only recommends a 650 psu for it.
Glad you enjoyed! I will caution that Nvidia power spikes are no joke. And I personally prefer to error on the side of caution with PSUs. That's good to hear on your build though!
So I just recently upgraded a few parts on my PC. I had an x470 prime board, with a 2600x and an rx590. I upgraded to a 5700x and a 2070 super. Is that a good pairing?
On the last build, get rid of the HDD... Remove that $120 for Windows... Get Windows key on eBay for 10 bucks... Add another nvme with those 150$ that were saved...
Regarding the second build and ray tracing being worth it or not: It hugely varies how much RT matters to the individual and what games you are trying to play. And as someone who is big on ray tracing, I'm going to have to disagree with you that mid-level Nvidia ray tracing isn't worth it right now. In fact, I'd even argue that ray tracing is worth it on AMD cards too in most games (i.e. not Cyberpunk). If you're a ray tracing fanatic, then definitely buy Nvidia, but AMD is far from worthless for ray tracing. I've even managed to get Minecraft RTX playable at 900p using FSR 2 on AMD's latest RDNA2 iGPUs! iGPUs! That's a great sign for the future of ray tracing and considering it's been a focus point for improvement in Ampere, Ada and RDNA3, I think there's a bright future ahead for fans of ray tracing!
That cheaper B450 motherboard would take a R5 5600 for the move up to USD 500. And prices are falling so in 1 year you will get a monster GPU upgrade to that Rx 580.
I honestly think there's nothing wrong with splurging on the case. A case can easily last for more than 20 years, so spending more for a fancy case can be totally worth it, as long as it's a well reviewed case. Getting good quality case fans is even more worthwhile imo, as they can just last a really long time, make less noise, and end up saving you money in the long term (and you often get really good fans with a high-end case). For CPU coolers, I like good quality air coolers because they just last forever (unlike liquid+pump coolers), and the fans are VERY easy to replace if they ever go. I've been using Noctua fans for about 8 years now, and even the first ones I bought 8 years ago are still going strong. I have been absolutely blown away by how good Noctua fans and coolers are. They sent me a free adapter upgrade kit for my CPU cooler when I moved from AM3 to AM4, and this was for a long discontinued model.
Nothing wrong at all! Unless splurging on the case stops you from spending enough on the components that actually determine the performance of your PC. If your case choice won't affect your GPU or CPU choice than go for whatever you like (:
@17:04 the MSI Pro B660M-A motherboard did very well on benchmarks and i have seen few recommending it for 12700 cpu, do you mean its just not good if you are going to overclock the cpu?
Best medium/high end build IMHO will be a 10th or 11th gen Intel CPU. either i9 or i7. Mother boards are well priced and the Z490E strix would be my choice, The Z590E will be more expensive with no benefits for gaming. Both Z490 and Z590 will work with 11th gen but the 490 might require a bios update. DDR4 ram 3600 speed will do just fine and some sort of SSD drive, @ least 1TB and some external storage as the games and DLC do use up a lot of space on that drive! For High end latest and greatest PC, here are my recommendations... i9 12900K/13900K, DDR5 ram 5200-6200 speed, Z690E strix mobo with bios update, the Z790E can be used but more expensive with no benefit for gamers. At least a RTX 3080/3080ti or better yet 3090/3090ti. Anything higher up the tier like the new 4000 series NVIDIA 3080/3090s will be more but not necessary FPS as the 3080/3090s can certainly put out enough FPS to satisfy most if not everyone. I don't know much about the AMD stuff so I can't mention any AMD picks but I'm sure AMD is awesome and the latest as well as the previous gen stuff are amazing as well.
I've been taking fire for my build recently - and I get it - I really do. Its B450, 5600X, 32GB DDR4 with a... wait for it - 1050Ti 4GB. Oh, and about 40TB of USB 3 storage, not an SSD in sight.... As I keep trying to explain to people... money. Cash. The Green Devil. I had the 1050Ti already, and a case and a decent Corsair PSU. But everything else was very, very old. So I went with the best old mobo I could find (MSI Tomahawk B450 MkII) and decent cpu (5600X) and 32GB DDR4 ram... yes, I am deliberately not stating its speed. I bought the slow stuff, OK? But the amount of online commenters basically demanding I upgrade the graphics!!!! OK, its "only" a 1050Ti, but it handles pretty much everything I throw at it. Yes I definately need a better card, but for at least 18 months, I can't afford one. But the pure grunt of the PC compensates a lot. Obviously not quite enough.... its never quite enough, is it? Right now I'm happy with it. I know the 1060 (one model up) would open new modes etc but... well, I simply don't have the cash, and will not for a long time. So - over powered base system bottlenecked at GPU "Is Us". heheh. [Edit] Sorry - I had to edit... I also blew a shed load of my budget on a screen. And... I bought the wrong one... I was so hung up on getting a 32" 4K I just... forgot about Hz... Samsung U32J59X... max 60Hz.... Fine for RTS... crap for FPS, and cos its high res.. expensive anyway... Yeah, I screwed that one up.
I'd be happy with that build....its probably close in performance to mine... B560 (mini atx form), i5-11400f, 8gb ddr4 @ 3200mhz and 1 gen 4 PCIe M.2 @ 512gb topped off with a RTX 3050 (basically a slightly faster 1660ti but with ray tracing and dlss) Oh I'm displaying on a LG ultra gear 1080p monitor good for 240hz
For me, get a budget decent B550, which is the MSI b550m pro VC wifi, a Ryzen 5 5600, and any case would be good whether its ATX or MATX that has fans and great airflow and supports your GPU.
I gotta say, I frickin LOVE these videos! They are amazingly helpful when helping my non techie friends get builds together, thabks for all the amazing content Jason!
B450 will run the r5 5500 with the update to bios 62. The gigabyte app-center software will update bios from a 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen chip that AMD will provide if you ask them. You have to send it back. B450 is gen 3 only but it will run the r5 5600 for about $120 with bios update. Aliexpress has new rx580's for about $80. I bought a RX5500xt 3rd gen for a B450 board thru there for $100.
im buidling my first pc and i have most of my parts but im having a bit of trouble picking out the right cpu i would really appreciate you taking a look at my build and helping with a cpu choice!
CyberPowerPC - Gamer Supreme Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - 16GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT - 1TB SSD iam mlooking to upg rade my ram to a 32 gb kit what u recomend
i cant believe how much the prices on gpus fluctuate , in july i got a evga ftw 3080 10 gig for the price of what the higher end 3060 ti's are costing now.
Hey! Just did a case upgrade from an alienware prebuilt case that was getting terrible thermals to the new fractal pop air, which I really like the look of with a x570s aorus elite, I think. I'll be moving a 3060 ti and a 5600x into it with a 280mm aio because I plan to get a way beefier cpu soon... did I go too crazy with the cooling? I want to push my current components as far overclocked as they can go and also give myself a good future upgrade path... did I make any major ooopsies?
Yes, overkill and a problem if investing in the AIO is keeping you from putting that money into a better GPU. You will see better performance by upgrading your GPU, not your AIO. See our latest "How to Pick PC Parts" video on the channel for more on this

Hello Jason, I've slowly trying to upgrade my build, but I fear I might be slowly going down the wrong path! Got a new GPU then had to upgrade my PSU and then everything just started unfolding. Looking at a ÂŁ500 give or take. I used the pc for casual games like CSGO/Source, Tomb Raider and also use it for music production. Thanks a bunch in advance!
Need your help with pairing a good mother board with 3060 ti card I just bought maybe a nice case with good air flow
@ pc builder can you help me pair a mother board with 3060ti I bought for my son
The $500 boost list would be good for you in the video!
I love Boost My Build! It's an awesome and interactive way to communicate and also get actual curated help from someone that is well-versed with computers and has the first-hand experience of experimenting and benchmarking with actual up-to-date hardware. Not only that, but you also dive into ALL the components of the system and actually "boost the build". You are awesome, Jason! Keep up with the videos and this series! Merriest of Christmas to you, your family, and Ambrosius!
Thank you for the awesome feedback! We sure enjoy making these. Please like the video if you haven't, tells youtube to share it. (:
@@PCBuilderChannel question. why a pcie gen 3 ssd? doesnt the board allow up to pcie 4.0? thanks.

The quality of your content is over 9000, Jason. It's a privilege to witness your success, man. Almost a quarter million subs, wow! Merry Christmas to you, your better half, and Lord Ambrosius! Keep grinding, brother!
Over 9000! (:
Thanks so much Thomas! Really appreciate your support of the channel over its journey. The team says hello (especially Lord Ambrosius). Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Honestly, these series are the greatest way to learn. It's really entertaining and informative, and it helps the community at the same time. Wish you and ur family all the best!
That's so great to hear! That's the dream for these (:
Happy holidays to you and yours!
Even though I have a system that Iâm perfectly content with, I still love watching the channel and keeping up with the market. Keep up the good work!đ
Thats so great to hear! Do us a favor and like the video if you haven't, tells youtube to share it. Thanks and so glad you enjoyed!
Same here, I watch it to give people feedback
For the first build it is actually good bang for buck. The 5500 was at $89 and Asus Prime ii is $80.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($89.00)
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A II Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Silicon Power GAMING 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($40.97 @ Amazon)
Storage: Silicon Power P34A60 512 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($28.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Rosewill PRISM S500 ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Asus TUF Gaming B 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($53.46 @ Amazon)
Total: $342.40
also good chance that B450 board will infact post unless its really old stock. And even if it is AMD will usually ship a single core CPU to you which will allow you to flash the bios to one which supports the 5500.
Also.... 6500XT wont work on PCI-E gen3? someone forgot to tell my GPU that.
@@Sovek86 yeah new stock boards should support the lastest CPUs but to be safe get one with a bios flashback. 6500XT/6400 needs pcie 4 to run optimally.
I always find value in Boost My Build videos! I'll consider myself an experienced PC builder since I've built my own PC systems for the past 20 years, and built several mining rigs myself in 2021, but I'm still learning so much from Jason's Boost My Build videos, because he highlights many subtle areas that can limit performance and really optimises the budget to squeeze out the maximum performance possible. Especially shaving cost away from PC cases and directing them to upgrade the other parts.
The part about Nvidia GPUs being better for Adobe software compared to Radeon GPUs really surprised me as I didn't even know about that, and Davinci Resolve being faster on the 7900XT compared to the 4080 really surprised me as well.
That's awesome to hear! The dream of this channel is to help new/returning PC Builders while still giving value to practiced PC Builders. Thanks so much for the feedback it means a lot to us! Happy Holidays!
For the first build, I definitely would have gone with a B550 board over an A520, just so he has PCI-E Gen 4 compatibility for when he inevitability wants to upgrade the CPU.
Last build, I would question going with a 3070 over a 3060ti. I'm not sure about the video editing aspect but in gaming, the difference between those two cards is usually less than 10 FPS and you will typically end up spending at least $100 extra for that small gain. You are right in saying that this build deserves a 3080 though, especially at this price point. I would also have tried to get a 7200 RPM HDD in there.
Jason is awesome. I've left a few questions directly down in the comments, and so far he's 3 for 3 with answering me. What other channel does that? Its absurd how cool that is especially that the channel is getting bigger. He will be at 1M subs and beyond no doubt. Say goodbye to the day job if you haven't already Jason!
Thank you! We work really hard to answer as many comments as we can (it's not always possible to but we do our best). I think its important to connect to the community in this way. So glad you are enjoying the content!
Man, really glad I found your channel, I love how you go through things and really show off better than others, imo, the way to really be efficient with the builds and money spent.
So glad you found us too! Thanks for the awesome feedback it means a lot to us
I'm a high end enthusiast so I've never actually sat down and watched this from front to back before. But it's really awesome! Even as someone who has been building PCs for myself and friends for about 20 years, I learned some stuff from this video. Excellent work, I'm gonna go back and watch a bunch of the previous ones.
Thats so great to hear! That's the dream, to be useful to new/returning pc builders and provide fun and new things for more experienced builders. Thank you for the feedback it means a lot. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
6:20 For anyone looking for a budget case, i highly recommend the Gamemax Revolt. It's also 50 dollars, it comes with 4 RGB fans, an RGB hub, 2 SSD and 2 HDD holders, and the fans aren't on the bottom. I do admit that Gamemax doesn't make very reliable PSUs, but their cases are really good in cost efficency. I am confident that this case is one of the best ones for the price.
Thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to this, In a few days I'll also be building a new gaming PC my first one too and moving on from my gaming laptop
Exciting! And the video is live now so I hope you enjoy!
I love this series Jason. You always point out things that I miss. Keep up the good work. đđ
Thank you so much! Do us a favor and like the video if you haven't yet, tells youtube to share it. (:
Well I finally bit the bullet and just received all of my parts. Took a while to decide but I appreciate you Jason. I always referred back to your videos to make sure. Ended up with a 6700 xt, 5700x, airflow 4000D case, Aorsus B550 Pro motherboard, 750w PSU (great deal on this 120 down to 55 at Newegg) cpu cooler, 3 addtl fans etc all came in at about 1k USD. I tripled my computing power over the one I built about 7 years ago and actually spent about 400 less this time. Great time to be building. Thanks for all you do Jason! Hope you have a great Holiday! I will be searching back to your vids to help me get this thing together I am sure. đ
Nice!! Best wishes on your build and so glad we could help! Let us know how it goes on twitter @pcbuilderjason if you like
Love BMB so much! Really helps even builders who have already built their first PC. I had the B660 version of the z690 Gigabyte board in the last build of the video and have been in love with it so far!
You really look out for the consumers wallet and make sure they're getting the best bang for their buck.
That's so great to hear! That's the dream with these, to be helpful to new/returning builders and fun/useful to experienced builders too. Appreciate the feedback it means a lot!
Hi Jason. Love the channel! Would you do a video discussing audio codecs in motherboards and the associated audio peripherals? It's a common theme when you're evaluating mobos but it's still a weaker part of my understanding when building PCs. Like you, I value great audio input/output so my teammates clearly hear me and for me to enjoy a premium sound/music feel. Typical questions range from what is a digital or analog signal? is digital or analog input better? should I plug audio peripherals straight into the motherboard or the case's front IO panel? What is ALC? 1200? 1220? etc? Thank you very much in advance!
Thanks for the suggestion!
What do you think about this build: RX 6900xt, ryzen 7 5700x, gigabyte b550 aorus elite v2, 32gb ripjaws v 3600mhz, sn570 1tb sdd, lian li lancool 205 case, 2 p14 fans extra, rm1000e psu, id cooling se 226 xt cooler.
I recently got a Ryzen 5 5600 for christmas but I had a asus b450 mobo. With a ryzen5 2600 in the motherboard I was able to flash my bios with the latest version and the computer posted even with the 2600 installed. Plugged in the 5600 and it works like a charm.
After binge watching these videos the last 24 hours, Iâm really questioning my latest build đđ
Needed a jack of all trades that could handle music production and recording, autocad drafting, and some gaming on the side. At a minimum I wanted a mobo with a Thunderbolt header. $2000 budget and wanted to source my local microcenter for in stock parts.

This is not a question of "should i buy it" since it's my PC for the last 6 months.
The question is, since i still don't have a dedicated GPU, what should i go for?
I was thinking on a RTX 3060 Ti (the RTX 40 might be too much for the CPU to handle)
As for the use of the PC, gaming, internet and some videos/movies/tv shows; i don't do heavy work on this one.
I'm a SP gamer, i rarely play MP, and my tastes are vast when it comes to genres; but i do like to max out as far as i can.
As for the reason of not getting a GPU...i was absent from gaming for the last 10 years (yeah i know, i have a lot of catching up to do) as such i'm playing a lot of older games (and some indies not so old) that don't need more than the UHD 730 so i felt i could let it slide for the moment, less money to spend.
For example, i just played Prey (2006) perfectly, all maxed out, at 60fps.
For Nvidia a 3060 or 3070. For AMD 6650 XT - 6750 XT
I did one for the last one just for fun before I saw the replacement parts and even with Swedish prices, for $2500 I managed to get together an
i7-12700k
G.Skill 64GB 3600MHz RAM
MSi z690 motherboard
2TB NVME 2280
Dell 27" 1440p 165Hz monitor
to stay in budget:
Zotac RTX 3070
Cooler Master 750W 80 Plus
Random cheap case
Video editing with an i5 or less than 64GB memory just seemed stupid so wanted to check if I could get within budget and don't think I did too badly. Now gonna watch the rest :)
This is what I plan on using for my build (just for playing world of tanks on the highest graphic settings) CPU-INTEL CORE I9 13900, MOB-ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E LGA 1700(IntelÂź 12th&13th Gen) ATX Gaming Motherboard(PCIe 5.0, DDR5,18+1 Power Stages,2.5 Gb LAN,Thunderbolt 4,5xM.2, 1xPCIe 5.0 M.2,Front Panel USB 3.2 Port), GPU-ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card (PCIe 4.0, 8GB GDDR6X, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, Axial-tech Fan Design, 2.9-Slot, Super Alloy Power II, GPU Tweak II), MEMORY-G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Series (Intel XMP) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6400 CL32-39-39-102 1.40V Dual Channel Desktop Memory F5-6400J3239G32GX2-TZ5RS (Metallic Silver), CASE-CORSAIR iCUE 7000X RGB Full-Tower ATX PC Case, Black, PS-Corsair HX1000i, HXi Series, 80 PLUS Platinum Fully Modular Ultra-Low Noise ATX Digital Power Supply (Triple EPS12V Connectors, 140mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing Fan, Zero RPM Fan Mode) Black, CPU WATERCOOLED-CORSAIR iCUE H170i ELITE LCD Display Liquid CPU Cooler-Custom IPS LCD Screen-48 Dynamic RGB LEDs-140mm Fans -420mm Radiator-COMMANDER CORE Smart Lighting Controller, SSD-SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 Gaming M.2 Internal Solid State Drive Memory Card, Maximum Speed, Thermal Control, MZ-V8P2T0B, KEYBOARD AND MOUSE-Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE, Wireless FPS/MOBA Gaming Mouse & K57 RGB Wireless Gaming Keyboard -
One thing I like about these videos is that it helps learn about brands I never heard of. It's even better that you have experience and knowledge of a broader range of products that helps us make better choices.
That's great to hear! Thanks for the feedback we appreciate it
I'm glad I watched this series before doing my most recent PC build, because I was able to boost my own build. đ
Fantastic! That's the hope with this series! Do us a favor and like the video if you haven't yet, tells youtube to share it. Thank you!!
Hey Jason, I live in London, UK. Last year my iMac died during the mid-peak crisis, so my hand was forced into building a new PC ASAP. I've already built my PC with the help of my more knowledgeable sibling, but I'd want your insight if it was money well spent.
At the time, the PC was mainly for my studies and gaming. A few months after my studies ended, I realised how terrible my AOC monitor (ÂŁ180) was when I started hardcore gaming and immediately bought the G7 Odyssey (ÂŁ420 discount). After that, my 'hope' was to game at 240fps to match the Hz, but I got hit with reality as soon as I booted up Warzone 1 for the first time and got 150fps on competitive settings. 70-150 fps on other single-player games - GoW, Tomb Raider, Spiderman, Witcher 3, A Plague Tale on high-ultra. The only game to hit 200-240 fps was the mass effect remastered series xD. FYI those numbers are without RTX since those numbers significantly drop to unstable 60fps.
I originally went with the 5600x (ÂŁ330 at the time) but upgraded to 5800x3D last month (ÂŁ360). I won a ÂŁ1400 Amazon voucher, so I got my MSI 3070 (ÂŁ1200 - ik, man, there was nothing I could've done) and my SM850 NVME for free. PCPARTPICKER didn't have my PC case, but it is the Tecware VXR for ~ÂŁ90. x570e mobo for ÂŁ300.
Can you please look at my PC build and lmk where I spent too much or if there were better alternatives? How can I hit my goal of close to ~240fps without modifying my build significantly? I was thinking of a 4080(ti) soon, but those prices are insanely ridiculous. Whereas a used 3090 on eBay goes for ~ÂŁ700-900, the 4080 looks better when the difference is just another ÂŁ300. I really don't know where to go from here. Leave it as it is right now, get a 3090 or wait for price drops on the 40 series. AMD really let us down this year so I'm going to avoid those. Lmk what you think is the best course of action and whether I built a decent PC spec-wise. TY
As a PC nerd I find your videos to be amazingly satisfying to watch, from your reactions to the building advice, it's just awesome!!
Love from Brasil
That's so great to hear! Thank you and best wishes!
This series is the best! I love that you're helping others while teaching us in a fun way
That's so great to hear! Thanks for the feedback we appreciate it
My PC right now is using an i7 6700k and RX 6600, PCIe 3.0 while not going to give maximum performance it's still a MASSIVE improvement over my RX 470 and I don't plan to change my CPU + motherboard in several years, I can finally play games very smoothly with the instant replay function being much smoother. Obviously people that want to either build/upgrade their overall PC specs shouldn't be using 3.0 anymore but if you are stuck with 3.0 like me, PCIe 4.0 GPUs are still very good and will work just fine without any problems.
Jason I have recently helped my nephew build his first gaming pc with his own money and with gifts he has asked for. He is using a Ryzen 5 5600x with a Thermaltake UX200 CPU cooler, MSI PRO B550 motherboard, 32 gig of (4x8gig) 3200 ram, 1tb m.2 gen 4 SSD, 1 TB 2.5 SSD, 650 watt PSU, and a Rosewill case. He is currently using a used RX 580 and he has asked for gift cards for his birthday in couple months, what would be his best upgrade route around the $400 range. We would like to run high setting at 1080p or mid settings at 1440p. I know you have recommended 6600xt for this type of build but with GPU prices declining what is also the biggest GPU that a 5600x can push with a possible 5800x upgrade next holiday season. Thank you for the great content.
Here's my build specs
Ryzen 7 5700x
Colorful battleaxe Rtx 3060ti
Tforce 32gb (4x8)
Msi x570s carbon max wifi
Rog ryujin 240 aio
Hyte y60
Seasonic 750watts
3 pcs Samsung 990 pro m.2 1tb each
1 pcs Crucial Mx 500 2tb
Lian li al120 fans 5pcs
Asus rog 1440p
Wacom graphic tablet 1440p
My main prio on this build is for workstation, that is why i dont buy high end gpu, and 5700x is a balance cpu i can go for ryzen 7 5800x3d or ryzen 9 5900x but t i hate power hunger and heat. My room isn't air-condition room no windows also. And i dont do overclock because i hate heat, gpu max temp 65, cpu max temp 57. Underload with heavy applications and programs.
Lol that exit from Mr Bear was gold đââŹđđ„°. Definitely people do get caught in product hype, rgb etc and throw budgets away on things that arenât part of their pc need requirements. Glad to see a more target focused build made on what the pc is for and not necessarily for their shopfront window show piece to gloat on redit đđđ„°â
Mr Bear had better things to do that day I guess (;
So glad you enjoyed!!! Thanks for watching
there are actually quite a few A520M motherboards out there with the the necessary firmware already installed to run ryzen 5000 series. 100 dollars for a A520m is to be honest an overspend. You could actually go back to the B450M and see if you can do one of 2 things: ask somebody you now an AMD ryzen 3000 chip to lend it and do a bios update that way, or ask the vendor to update it for you.
How many watts should my PSU have for a 6800 / 6800 xt?
See our Best PSU 2022 video and follow the method there to check your wattage needs for your full build
Just a side note I think the asus duel models of nvidia and amd graphics cards are a bit underrated for example, there are only 2 models of 6700xt in Australia that will fit in my case due to my poor motherboard choice the sapphire pulse and the asus duel. The sapphire has nothing wrong with it but has no cool lighting and the black and red dosent fit a lot of color schemes very well. The asus on the other hand looks great with a slick black design and has a small amount of lighting which makes all the difference
Actually Jason Nvidia had/has a feature called DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) which basically upscales/renders a larger resolution and then shrinks it back down to your screen. Usually this results in a crisper experience, at the cost of fps.
Came here to say the same thing. âVirtual Super Resolutionâ is the AMD equivalent. I used it to get to 1440p before I could upgrade my monitor this holiday.
@@Barloskovich Oh nice, didn't know AMD had an alternative (and I use an AMD GPU lol).
You can buy a brand new RX 580 on Ali express right now for 70 bucks, with slightly weaker performance, but it would give you more stability then buying a 580 of ebay that was used for mining for a long time.
Lucky PCPartPicker doesn't have a QA during the building process otherwise we wouldn't have Jason!!
@11:20 thanks for helping this poor soul.
I wanted to change my case so I went along with the Aerocool Airhawk Duo that you recommended. I got it from Amazon for ÂŁ65. And also the Aerocool, addressable, three fan RGB set to go with it (ÂŁ25). I must say that for the price of the case, it was an excellent buy and fully justifies your recommendation. The best thing about it apart from the case in general, is the room you have to build in. Why this case wasn't/isn't being sold in the US is beyond me.
Just for the curious:
My build is Ryzen 5 5600x CPU, Noctua NH-U12S redux cooler, ASUS RX 6600, Duo GPU, Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4X8) 3200ghz Dimms, Crucial P2 1 TB Internal SSD and 3x1TB SSD cards.
Ryzen 5 5500, Asus tuf gaming, and v21 case.
I'd stick with Asus tuff or msi motherboards, quality matters here and gold power supply.
Stop buying monitors, buy a flat screen TV.
i built my own pc recently the end cost was ÂŁ1300(and small change) for that i got a ryzen 7 5800x and a 3080 in the uk you can get a used 3080 for around ÂŁ500(+-50 it is changing a lot) I also didn't cheap out on anything I got a similar b550 motherboard as is in the second build a 32gb 3600mhz non rgb ram kit I did buy an over the top 360mm aio as my room can get to nearly 40C in the summer(i live in the hottest part of the uk we see consistent mid 30C temps in summer) for psu I got a fully modular 80+gold gigabyte 850w(at the time it was cheaper than a 750w) and finally a corsair 4000d airflow case
Imagine I've not been long enough here learning from Jason yet I shocked at the same time when I saw the PC Build people send to Jason
That's how educating Your video is sir, Thank You
On other note, all of my budget build community call me elitist
Glad you are enjoying!! Thank you for watching and shout out to your budget building community (;
These videos are a TREASURE cove of knowledge. The video descriptions are an insane amount of work too. Got a sub from me just for how much effort these videos take.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate that. Thanks for the sub!
My favourite segment from my favourite tech CZcamsr
So glad you enjoyed!! Do us a favor and like the video if you haven't yet, tells youtube to share it (:
I made sure my local store hasn't stock old motherboards. So I recently got a B450 board with a 5600G without needing to flash the BIOS.
I have at least 170 games on Steam and most of them only need to be stored on a hard drive. Which is cheaper for the storage space.
23:32 my first reaction was
That's a hand grenade lmfao
haha!
Hey Jason, I love the series and I'm usually very impressed with how good your parts lists are especially compared to other youtubers. That being said I disagree with the first list. You said b660 motherboards are priced too high and yet you've went with an expensive a520 motherboard in your list , which is essentially equivalent to intels h610s, which are cheaper than that motherboard in your list. theres also currently an asrock b660 for 80 dollars. in terms of gaming performance the 12100f is slightly better and you'd actually save 10 dollars and gain a slight bit of performance going with intel there.
Hello there, Jason. For the second build I actually tried to boost it. I included a budget air cooler. For the case, I went for the Bitfenix Enso mesh ARGB, which is a case I personally like. same ROG motherboard, same GPU, the TUF psu, same WD SSD, same monitor, but i switched the mouse to the ROG Impact 2.
Nice! Appreciate the help you give people in the comments too!
Jason for President! We need more cats in the world, let that be the manifesto of the campaign.
Love this series dude! Keep them coming its so so so underrated and we all love it
Haha! More cats sounds like a great platform (;
So glad you enjoyed. Do us a favor and like the video if you haven't yet, tells youtube to share it. Hope you have a great rest of your week!

Great video for 1st timers like myself. My 1st gaming PC was a Predator AG3610 which by now is virtualy slower than chess. Been looking a prebuilts for quite some time now and thinking of building my own. Just wondering if anything off my Predator is even salvageable.
Just with a new SSD as bootdrive it'll feel 10x faster already btw, just u know - until u figure the whole build out.
What would you advise as a CGU between a RTX 3060 and a RX 6000 ? Or is there something better at this price ? I'm planning to combo it to a Ryzen 5 5600X. Thank you if you answer !
That's actually one of the baseline CPU choices though I'd look at the 5600. You might as well go for a B550 motherboard.
RX 6600 is if you're doing mostly gaming, RTX 3060 if you're doing a lot of production work.
the big advantage of hdd's is that the full data can be recovered if the harddrive decides to die. So if you want to store important data (like photography or your precious first minecraft world) it might be a legitimate decision to choose a hdd.
My next build. approximate price is 100000 INR ( just over 1200USD)
i dont game much. my old system is 3rd gen intel is almost 10yrs old and also planning to use this new one for long time.
already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. cant decide on case.
1) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (with Stock Cooler)
2) MoBo: Asus TUF Gaming B650M Plus (Non Wifi)
3) Memr: Crucial 8x2=16gb DDR5 4800Mhz
4) PSU: Corsair cv650w 80+ bronze
5) Storage: WD Black SN770 500gb NVME and 500gb HDD
6)GPU: Asus DUAL Radeon RX 6600 8 GB Video Card.
Thanks đ
Maybe you would like a Fractal Design Pop Mini Air if they got that in your area
Would the 5600 bottleneck a 6800xt maybe?
No, not really. The 6900xt is the limit of the 5600x.
Fine combo!
It's been 2 years, i got a 1660 super OC, ryzen 5 3.6ghz , 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz CL16 RAM and a b450m ds3h motherboard, anything worth upgrading yet?
There is a very glaring issue with the last pc build. In the build the person added a DVD version of windows 11 for 120 euro's. I was going to make the point that you can get a windows 11 key for a few bucks, but then I also realized this person cannot even run the dvd because the build has no dvd drive. I was surprised you did not pick up on that.
In short, get rid of the w11 dvd. Buy a 5 dollar or so key on a webshop, make a w11 media usb drive for installation, and put the money maybe in another nvme drive to get fully rid of that awful hdd drive.
the Lian Li LANCOOL III RGB ATX pc case, has this one flaw: The two tension springs, that holds the latch mechanism in place, these two springs tend to get deformed easily, if you push the top front latch mechanism too far in.
Boost my build is such an entertaining series to watch! Love it, keep it upđ
That's so great to hear! Thanks for watching!
For every time you say I hope you feel your build is boosted gets my mood boosted
Love to hear that! (:
There was one big thing i caught with you talking about the rx 6000 series and new gpus in general PCIE GEN 4 IS NOT REQUIRED, for cards like the 6600x or lower the difference is very minimal. You CAN use Gen 4 card on pcie gen 3, it will work just fine but for high enders like 3080 pic gen 4 is worth it for performance. Budget buyers dont worry
@PC Builder finally built my pc with what was available near me. Current Specs below:
Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Smart Case - Black
Asus Tuf Gaming B550M Plus (WiFi)
Ryzen 5600G
ASUS ROG Strix NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 V2 OC Edition Gaming 12GB
Crucial Max 16GB 4000mhz
Inland professional 1TB gen3
Corsair RM750 Gold
CoolerMaster MasterLiquid ML240L RGB
Had to get it done as my old machine died, thus upgrading some of it in fact have a 5800X3D sitting right here now. will be upgrading a couple more items I'm sure. lol
See any issues, I would have preferred 32gbs of 3600mhz but went with what I could get quickly near by.
Congrats on your build!
Hard drives are best for long term storage. M.2s and SSDs are faster and work well for running the OS, but should not be depended on for long-term storage, because they are particularly susceptible to bit rot. Don't mock hard drives, they're going to be around for a long time.
Hey! I have a question should i go with a 7600x or buy 5800x3d for my current setup? my graphic card is 6800. what is your opinion?
To me, I would spend on the 5800x3d. Motherboard selections for it is great and I would pick a midrange to high-end B550 motherboard and a 2x8/2x16 3600mhz ram.
Dell 2721dgf actually has backlight flickering on less than 100% brightness. It flickers on high frequency (read rtings review) but still can be harmful for sensitive eyes - you get eyestrain and tire of using this monitor for a few hours. If you get one of these - be sure you can return it. HP x27q is better choice actually
Hard drives are still a way from being done in my opinion. Anyone who does serious videography or video editing will probably need a large amount of storage. At the moment you can bung two 16TB hard drives into any mid size tower case and get 32TB of storage for $500. The closest you can get to this with SSDs is to buy 4x 8TB drives costing well over $500 each. While HDDs are great for storage, of course I agree that some kind of SSD is a must to actually work from.
Between Neo G8 1000âŹ, OLED G8 1500⏠and Alienware AW3423DWF 1100âŹ, which would you buy?
I myself use only SSD's. In my current RTX 2070 laptop, I have the 512GB Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD that came with it and a 2TB Samsung QVO SATA III SSD I installed myself. The PC I'm building is going to have at least 4TB od M.2 SSD Mass Storage in addition to the top end components I'm building it with.
Depending on where you live buying a used PC is like 70x more worth it than buying all parts "new". Got a gtx 1070 build for 600⏠incluing 16gb ram and an 8 core intel cpu.
Great content as usual đ. However I must say that people get caught up in the PSU deals too much. Companies like nvidia or AMD are in partnerships with these power supplies so of course they want you to purchase something completely overkill. Don't fall for it, I'm using a 7900 XTX & 5900X on a 750w gold unit with zero problems. Even Igors lab only recommends a 650 psu for it.
Very true but it just feels like you need a 850w psu even tho you got like rtx 3070! I didnt expect that 750w is enough for that monster gpu
Glad you enjoyed! I will caution that Nvidia power spikes are no joke. And I personally prefer to error on the side of caution with PSUs. That's good to hear on your build though!
So I just recently upgraded a few parts on my PC. I had an x470 prime board, with a 2600x and an rx590. I upgraded to a 5700x and a 2070 super. Is that a good pairing?
Some fantastic boosting in this one. I loved the $500 build that was some really nice work.
Thank Jason
Thanks so much!! Happy Holidays to you and yours!!
On the last build, get rid of the HDD... Remove that $120 for Windows... Get Windows key on eBay for 10 bucks... Add another nvme with those 150$ that were saved...
Regarding the second build and ray tracing being worth it or not:
It hugely varies how much RT matters to the individual and what games you are trying to play. And as someone who is big on ray tracing, I'm going to have to disagree with you that mid-level Nvidia ray tracing isn't worth it right now. In fact, I'd even argue that ray tracing is worth it on AMD cards too in most games (i.e. not Cyberpunk). If you're a ray tracing fanatic, then definitely buy Nvidia, but AMD is far from worthless for ray tracing. I've even managed to get Minecraft RTX playable at 900p using FSR 2 on AMD's latest RDNA2 iGPUs! iGPUs!
That's a great sign for the future of ray tracing and considering it's been a focus point for improvement in Ampere, Ada and RDNA3, I think there's a bright future ahead for fans of ray tracing!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
That cheaper B450 motherboard would take a R5 5600 for the move up to USD 500. And prices are falling so in 1 year you will get a monster GPU upgrade to that Rx 580.
Hi! I want to buy an rtx 3080 or rx 6900xt, is the 5600x good or should i go with a 5700x?
I gotta say, this is great educational content. Subscribed and I hope to see more of these series, cheers! đ
Thank you so much for the sub! Hope you keep enjoying the content
You're one of the best hardware guys I've just recently discovered
So glad you found us! Hope you keep enjoying the content!
I honestly think there's nothing wrong with splurging on the case. A case can easily last for more than 20 years, so spending more for a fancy case can be totally worth it, as long as it's a well reviewed case. Getting good quality case fans is even more worthwhile imo, as they can just last a really long time, make less noise, and end up saving you money in the long term (and you often get really good fans with a high-end case). For CPU coolers, I like good quality air coolers because they just last forever (unlike liquid+pump coolers), and the fans are VERY easy to replace if they ever go.
I've been using Noctua fans for about 8 years now, and even the first ones I bought 8 years ago are still going strong. I have been absolutely blown away by how good Noctua fans and coolers are. They sent me a free adapter upgrade kit for my CPU cooler when I moved from AM3 to AM4, and this was for a long discontinued model.
Nothing wrong at all! Unless splurging on the case stops you from spending enough on the components that actually determine the performance of your PC. If your case choice won't affect your GPU or CPU choice than go for whatever you like (:
Another great vid. Still hoping you can make a vid about setting up new pc.
Thank you! And yes I promise it is coming in the new year, keeps getting pushed back by life events but it's coming! (;
@17:04 the MSI Pro B660M-A motherboard did very well on benchmarks and i have seen few recommending it for 12700 cpu, do you mean its just not good if you are going to overclock the cpu?
Best medium/high end build IMHO will be a 10th or 11th gen Intel CPU. either i9 or i7. Mother boards are well priced and the Z490E strix would be my choice, The Z590E will be more expensive with no benefits for gaming. Both Z490 and Z590 will work with 11th gen but the 490 might require a bios update. DDR4 ram 3600 speed will do just fine and some sort of SSD drive, @ least 1TB and some external storage as the games and DLC do use up a lot of space on that drive! For High end latest and greatest PC, here are my recommendations... i9 12900K/13900K, DDR5 ram 5200-6200 speed, Z690E strix mobo with bios update, the Z790E can be used but more expensive with no benefit for gamers. At least a RTX 3080/3080ti or better yet 3090/3090ti. Anything higher up the tier like the new 4000 series NVIDIA 3080/3090s will be more but not necessary FPS as the 3080/3090s can certainly put out enough FPS to satisfy most if not everyone. I don't know much about the AMD stuff so I can't mention any AMD picks but I'm sure AMD is awesome and the latest as well as the previous gen stuff are amazing as well.
Great videos! anyway you can suggest a 1440p machine to be able to play Mortal Online 2 in preparation for Unreal Engine 5? 1500 to 2k budget
See our Best 1440p Gaming Monitor 2022 video!
I love these videos. I like how you explain why you're choosing certain parts, highly educational.
That's great to hear! Thank you for watching
Hey Jason, what can i do for you to see my build? and give it your opinion?
I've been taking fire for my build recently - and I get it - I really do. Its B450, 5600X, 32GB DDR4 with a... wait for it - 1050Ti 4GB. Oh, and about 40TB of USB 3 storage, not an SSD in sight.... As I keep trying to explain to people... money. Cash. The Green Devil. I had the 1050Ti already, and a case and a decent Corsair PSU. But everything else was very, very old. So I went with the best old mobo I could find (MSI Tomahawk B450 MkII) and decent cpu (5600X) and 32GB DDR4 ram... yes, I am deliberately not stating its speed. I bought the slow stuff, OK? But the amount of online commenters basically demanding I upgrade the graphics!!!! OK, its "only" a 1050Ti, but it handles pretty much everything I throw at it. Yes I definately need a better card, but for at least 18 months, I can't afford one. But the pure grunt of the PC compensates a lot. Obviously not quite enough.... its never quite enough, is it? Right now I'm happy with it. I know the 1060 (one model up) would open new modes etc but... well, I simply don't have the cash, and will not for a long time. So - over powered base system bottlenecked at GPU "Is Us". heheh. [Edit] Sorry - I had to edit... I also blew a shed load of my budget on a screen. And... I bought the wrong one... I was so hung up on getting a 32" 4K I just... forgot about Hz... Samsung U32J59X... max 60Hz.... Fine for RTS... crap for FPS, and cos its high res.. expensive anyway... Yeah, I screwed that one up.
I'd be happy with that build....its probably close in performance to mine...
B560 (mini atx form), i5-11400f, 8gb ddr4 @ 3200mhz and 1 gen 4 PCIe M.2 @ 512gb topped off with a RTX 3050 (basically a slightly faster 1660ti but with ray tracing and dlss)
Oh I'm displaying on a LG ultra gear 1080p monitor good for 240hz
For anyone getting the s2722dgm, it has no hdr. Not like it really matters at this price.
What do you think about i5 13600k rtx3070 z690 32GB DDR5 6000mhz?
I've got a solid 1080p gaming setup.
It's a B560 LGA1200 chipset (Mini ATX format)
Intel i5 11400F
GeForce RTX 3050
Question, I just got my rx 6600 asus dual, and now I wanna get a new motherboard, cpu and case, is there any budget parts?
For me, get a budget decent B550, which is the MSI b550m pro VC wifi, a Ryzen 5 5600, and any case would be good whether its ATX or MATX that has fans and great airflow and supports your GPU.
I gotta say, I frickin LOVE these videos! They are amazingly helpful when helping my non techie friends get builds together, thabks for all the amazing content Jason!
That's great to hear!! So glad you enjoyed. Please keeping sharing with your friends!
B450 will run the r5 5500 with the update to bios 62. The gigabyte app-center software will update bios from a 2nd or 3rd gen Ryzen chip that AMD will provide if you ask them. You have to send it back. B450 is gen 3 only but it will run the r5 5600 for about $120 with bios update. Aliexpress has new rx580's for about $80. I bought a RX5500xt 3rd gen for a B450 board thru there for $100.
im buidling my first pc and i have most of my parts but im having a bit of trouble picking out the right cpu i would really appreciate you taking a look at my build and helping with a cpu choice!
What is your build so far?
can you please recommend me a cheap case without RGB (I hate RGB), and no side window, 4x 3.5 slots, and a slot for an optical drive??
First build was interesting. what do you say is best option
1. H610 + 12100f + rx 6600
2. A520 + 5500 + rx 6600
I'd say 1
1 if those are your options. But if you are looking for a great budget build see our latest "best builds" video!
the last build you left in the DVD version of windows. Either the Downnloaded or USB version (retail/OEM) would actually work as there is no DVD drive
CyberPowerPC - Gamer Supreme Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X - 16GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT - 1TB SSD iam mlooking to upg rade my ram to a 32 gb kit what u recomend
In videos he recommends 3200 MHz so I assume any kit with that speed would be fine.
i cant believe how much the prices on gpus fluctuate , in july i got a evga ftw 3080 10 gig for the price of what the higher end 3060 ti's are costing now.
Man, these gpus have sure gotten power hungry the last couple years. I think my 2060 only needed like 500W or 550W or something.
Hey! Just did a case upgrade from an alienware prebuilt case that was getting terrible thermals to the new fractal pop air, which I really like the look of with a x570s aorus elite, I think. I'll be moving a 3060 ti and a 5600x into it with a 280mm aio because I plan to get a way beefier cpu soon... did I go too crazy with the cooling? I want to push my current components as far overclocked as they can go and also give myself a good future upgrade path... did I make any major ooopsies?
Yes, overkill and a problem if investing in the AIO is keeping you from putting that money into a better GPU. You will see better performance by upgrading your GPU, not your AIO. See our latest "How to Pick PC Parts" video on the channel for more on this
