    Great advice. Prices have been creeping up this week. Looks like they are planning on dropping prices when new products get announced at CES next week. Trick retailers do to make sales look even better is to adjust up right before they go on sale.

    I had my list together, ready to do a low end build that's plenty for what I do (5600/6600) but in the last couple days the 5600 jumped up $70 and the 6600 went up almost $200 (I can get a 6700 xt for $10 less than a 6600 not xt on newegg Canada right now). With that being the case, taking your advice is pretty easy. If my budget stuff is gonna cost that much, might as well upgrade the build a little.

    Hahahaha, when this popped on my CZcams feed, i was like; "what, didn't he just do a large build guide for multiple systems?" But i get it, and really appreciated this video. I have a system that needs building so badly right now (two actually) but I've been trying to push it back a bit.
    I'm very unhappy with Intel not dropping the price of their 12th gen CPUs, maybe their "14th gen" will have an impact. And on the AMD side im frustrated with good value gaming CPUs that are platform restricted to last gen memory and therefore a poor upgrade path. I love AM5, which is my personal build (7800x3d&RX7900XTX), but its costly. I'm gonna try to hold out until mid to end February. Thanks for the video ScatterVolt. Respect.

      @ScatterVolt new stuff makes old one a bit cheaper. Don't know ppl that are buying new parts as they arrive at high start prices. And as for prices for old cpus - you can even now find, for example, i5-10400 for like msrp in stores. That makes no sense, but prices go down like 10 times slower then companies ramp them up.
      I'm not arguing with you, you have a lot of nice videos. Just think that if ppl need pc right now - they buy it, if not - they will still be looking for best picks for months.

      Depends on the 4080S' price point. If it comes out at 999USD AMD might drop their price as they tend to want to offer more value than nvidia. They also might not as their card will likely still 8gigs more Vram and faster raster performance.
      I originally picked up my 7900xtx thinking if the 4080S comes out around the same price I'll return it and pick that up. But I've honestly been so impressed by my experience with the XTX I don't know if I care what nvidia does.

  • @notta3d

    I personally wait for the new stuff to be released. But when the new hardware is finally released I wait for the new stuff to come down in price as it's the newest hardware available so you're going to pay more. Problem is by the time the prices comes down I usually hold off because the new releases are coming out next month. Hence my current PC is from 2013 and I'm starting to lose my mind chasing my tail.

    • @JJFlores197
      @JJFlores197 Před měsícem

      An APU is basically a graphics chip inside the CPU. Its meant for basic tasks like web browsing and some very light gaming. They're primarily used in use cases where you don't need much graphics power, like in basic home PCs or basic business systems. Things like browsing youtube or writing documents don't require much graphics processing power which is where APUs work well. You can't "combine" an APU and graphics card for extra performance. Even if you somehow were able to do that, its extremely unlikely there would be any notable performance gains as APUs usually aren't that good for graphics tasks.

I'd like to bump the GPU up to the 7900XTX if my budget can handle it; is there a chance that AMD will think that the new RTX 4070 Ti Super will be better value proposition than the XTX and drop its price a bit? I just need a little more room in my budget to justify it.
