  • When it comes to building a gaming PC, there are certainly some parts you should avoid buying, be that because of their poor value for money, weak upgrade paths or known software issues! In this video I'll be breaking down which parts you should avoid if you are in the market for a new PC build.

    i watch a lot of these kinds of videos even though i feel i already have a solid understanding of the "do's & dont's," but it's always good to get someone else's perspective in case i'm missing something. i kept waiting to hear a suggestion that i didn't agree with, but everything here makes sense to me and is in line with what i often recommend to people who ask me to build them a system (which happens a lot, ha). first video from this channel i've seen (thanks algo!) and it won't be the last. earned a sub from me!

    I'm new to P.C. been studying through you and other resources. Where can I go to build a P.C. that suits around my needs? I'll spend what I have to for reliability and years of upgrades, but I'm not really looking for flashy, just more for study, possibly video calling, and some gaming. My main goal for gaming is to be able to play the shooter games I like with knowing I have confidence in my setup, and I'm not lagging or something due to having outdated materials. Please point me to a website or video so i dont spend unnecessary money for my applications.

    Thermalright: Here's a 18$-20$ CPU cooler backwards compatible for AM4/AM5 and intel CPU. Efficient on 105W (Can keep up to 170W, but recommand higher cooler)
    Also Thermalright: 33-37$ Same as before efficient on 170W (Can keep up to 250W, but higher cooler recommanded)
    Again Thermalright: 360mm AIO Efficient on 250W, can cool down 400W.
    Thermalright is really the XFX of CPU cooler.

  • @Morrodin182
    @Morrodin182 Před 7 dny

    You are more than likely right about the 4060TI, that being said I bought a 4060TI (16 GB version) and I love it :) ... then again my old PC was an old timer (i7 7700k, GTX 960 4GB, 32 GB DDR3 ram and a HDD for storage). I now run an i7 13700k, RTX 4060TI, 64GB of DDR5 ram (might be overkill but meh) and a samsung 990 pro SSD. Including assembly, a 27" display, mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse, my new setup cost me around 2K Euro and I think that is pretty acceptable, even if I could have gotten 'more bang for my buck', I went from barely running newer games to running them all at high settings again.
    When you buy a higher end intel processor though, do indeed make sure you have sufficient cooling. As I was not used at having to have decent cooling, I first bought a mid-range tower cooler and it just couldn't keep my system cool. I in fact installed an AIO today and temps went down drastically (about 60 degrees Celsius under heavy load, where before it went up to 100 degrees and then started thermal throttling). So where I stand is, I am set for the next few years.
    Final remark about intel being at end of 1700 slot, it is of course something to keep in mind BUT it is isn't that dramatic either. When you buy a new PC chances are you are going to keep it for around 5 years or so. (Well at least that is what I do. I guess this does not apply to everyone).
    Anyway just my few cents! :)

    • @AnonymousUser-ww6ns
      @AnonymousUser-ww6ns Před 15 dny

      It should be fine. Just make sure not to go quad channel on DRR5 as the memory controller will suffer in other words it will down lock down to 3600MHZ and if you try to force 6000MHz on it, it will keep doing memory retraining loop.
      Mabye Zen 5 will improve quad channel support at high speeds but we will see.
      But yeah dual channel 6000MHZ seems to be the sweet spot for AMD.

    Ryzen 7900 and 7950 CPUs might see a significant price drop when the Zen5 CPUs are released. But they might not. The advice to wait and see is sound. My plan is to build either a new AM5 video/audio production PC or a new primary gaming PC once we see where Zen4 prices go. Which one I build, and around which CPU, is a tough decision since I already have a 13700K (with a 280mm AIO) system that is very good for either use case. My sense is that the 7950X will become a price-to-performance bargain if the Ryzen 9 9xxx chips prove to be 15% or more faster.
    There's no reason for 99% of us to buy a Gen 5 NVMe drive. A storage drive that needs active cooling to function properly is just plain silly.

      There are a lot of air flow cases, maybe a Montech Air 100. My 7800XT is in an Antec NX410 White case. There are a lot of non-fishtank airflow cases, as long as you can fit the GPU and the front intake is mesh I think the airflow has a chance. Case I have has 2 x 140 intake and 120 exhaust. Would price 60-100 about what you might spend on a decent case.

      No matter what country you are in, better or worse wifi, lan internet beats wifi, even 5g wifi. The only reason you'd want or need wifi on a desktop computer is if you're too far on the main Internet modem and router, that you'd need like 30-50m lan and/or dig lots of holes in your place...
      My son's bedroom is at 1st floor, my daughter's is at 2nd floor of the hous, while the modem and router is at first floor beside the main tv for jideji.i was thinking of getting 30-50m lan for her desktop computer that i built, since she's now 13 and wanted her own computer for gaming, but my daughter and her mother didn't like having that long lan, even well routed and managed, plus the 5g wifi of asrock z270 taichi is decent enough, since she's not really a hard gamer, but still play pc games, though, she's very whiny and noisy when having issues and troubles in her gaming...

    CPU-wise, overwhelming majority of gamers doesn't need anything more expensive than 7500F and that will most likely continue being the case even after 9000 series release. It's £120 CPU that performs on par with 5800X3D in overwhelming majority of games. Buying into AM4 platform now doesn't make slightest financial sense unless you already own all pieces of the puzzle and are rocking someting like Ryzen 2600X. As owner of 7700X, 7950X3D and now 7500F courtesy of AliExpress, the last one is more than adequate for each and every gaming needs if you're targeting 1440p+ resolutions under 360fps...
    As for PSUs, 2nd hand unit that holds golden badge on PSU Tierlist will always be a better choice than brand new cheap or noname PSU. Case in point Thermaltake GF1 850W goes for around £40 these days and is amongst the golden standard for ATX 2.4 PSUs and will outlive your current and the next build after that anyway... assuming 850W is enough to power it 😅

      7800xt has better pure rasterization performance. Since you said yourself you don't care bout DLSS anyways, go for the 7800xt. If the 7900gre doesn't cost much more go for that one instead

    I agree with everything but the last point on wifi. Pretty sure straight ethernet from your router gives you the best possible internet connection.
