â¶Sponsor: Windows 10 Pro ($16):biitt.ly/kPBz6 What are you looking to build in 2023 and beyond? How is your CPU and GPU Combo? Do you have a bottleneck?
2023 looking to upgrade my cpu (thinking 10th gen i7 or 12 gen i5),mobo,ram and move to m.2 or NVMe. Going to keep my AIO, 3080, 750w psu and lian li case.
I've recommended this channel to all my friends who are currently building their first pc, none of them are disappointed, saving pockets and boosting frames, that's what Jason does đđż
Great job Jason, your "Boost My Build" series is outstanding. Please consider doing them for PC builds intended for productivity apps, video editing, 3D CAD, etc.
Thank you! So glad you enjoy! We do a lot of mixed productivity and gaming builds in the series (in this video too) but I'll keep making sure we highlight info for those programs as well!
@@PCBuilderChannel Super! Also, pls consider used RTX (Quadro type) cards that were used for crypto mining, such as s2000 or a4000, which are expensive in retail but have flooded used market since crypto mining is gone tits up, they are outstanding for gaming as well and cost pennies.
@@utube321piotr true, used GPUs are a great deal right now. But in his series he always uses only brand new parts that are in stock through online retailers.
Hey Jason, first off, thank you so much for your content. It was absolutely invaluable in helping me build a PC, something I've wanted to do for the last 8 years! I can finally play my favourite games at a smooth 60 FPS or higher with high to very high settings without a hitch! Unfortunately, modding Skyrim is proving to be a learning experience đđđ
I'm a retired IT Consultant and active Skyrim mod author. In my experience, there's little point in playing on anything above the High graphics setting on Skyrim SE because of game engine limitations and texture resolution (higher resolutions increase texture density using more GPU memory). The game engine issues a lot of draw calls, which may overload GPUs under 8GB - tanking your FPS. I run an AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, RTX 2060 6GB, 16 GB RAM (DDR4 1200 / CL17), 500 GB SSD system drive, 1 TB HDD dedicated gaming drive & 4 TB HDD storage drive. Meaning, on average 20% CPU usage drives 40% GPU usage at 55~70 Celsius CPU / 65~67 Celsius GPU & never goes above 70% RAM usage. Yet, even my FPS drops to 15~30 FPS in cities and indoors areas. Am not quite sure if the A320 m/board it's installed on is limiting the CPU or the RAM speed, but I suspect that it might be (the system was built for running a GTX 1050Ti after all) although the relative usage percentages / temperatures don't really suggest much bottle necking. The game has a fixed limit of 256 Master files (ESMs & ESPs) that it can load and currently takes slot 0 for the main game and slots 1~3 for each of the 3 DLCs, leaving 252 ESM / ESPs available to the user; with ESPFE / ESL files being loaded outside of the game's main memory space and limited to approximately 400 entries. So, a system with 16GB+ of RAM is the way to go - remembering that GPUs share RAM with the PC and GPUs under 8GB RAM are more likely to page swap their memory when being used. As well as the PC possibly page swapping memory while the game is running - so, no playing with an internet browser or multiple tabs open! Unless you have a really high end GPU, go for 2K resolution texture packs for mountains, plants / shrubbery / trees, water, weather, signposts, buildings & furniture - that's before you even think about adding companion / follower, gameplay or animation mods. So, try DMT's HASHESH P2 and see if that helps your frame rate, then add Vivid Landscapes - All in One - Special Edition. IF that doesn't do everything you want, supplement with any of the following from the NEXUS mods website (personally, I load textures, meshes, then lighting):- Skyrim 3D Landscapes Groundcovers / Rocks / Stonewalls / Trees and Plants; A.Noble Skyrim; Blended Roads; Rudy HQ - Nordic Ruins; Book Covers Skyrim SE; Fluffy Snow; Realistc HD Food Remastered / Ingots Remastered; Rustic Elder Scrolls / SoulGems / Mountains; A Quality World Map; HD Local Map; Skyrim SE - Project Optimisation; Better FaceLight and Conversation - Redux; Mystical Illumination - Glowing Signs - C.MIGS & Mystical Illumination - I.MIGS); Cathedral 3D - Mountain Flowers & Cathedral 3D - Mountain Flowers Hearthfire Patch; Dolomite Weathers; Static Mesh Improvements Mod - SMIM. Avoid mods that add light sources (such as ELFX) and go for ones that just change the light colours / tone / radiance, such as Luminocity or EVLaS (only installing one at any given time). Change the tree LOD number (No. of trees displayed) in the skyrim.ini file from 77 to 64 - it makes a huge difference in reducing the number of draw calls - you can lower that by 4 at a time until you are running stable and can live with the result. Also, do the same with the grass setting. Checkout the SSE Display Tweaks, SSE Display Tweaks - High Performance Configuration & SSE FPS Stabiliser mods. Which, handle a lot of the game engine issues by auto-adjusting the display values. Finally, anyone using an ENB can checkout mods such as ENB Helper, Water for ENB & Bright Waterfall Fix for ENB.
These videos were what helped me figure out the parts for my first pc, and I finally finished it with money from Christmas. thanks for all you do Jason đ
I think one thing worth mentioning, especially in a Boost My Build video, and also considering its your paid add at the beginning of the video, people can save roughly $100 on Windows keys and put that elsewhere in their builds. $100 makes a HUGE difference when GPU shopping.
love this series best Ive found for builds, best part about it is the description of whys and why nots, helps me understand the whole build process much better.
Hello Jason. Just wanna say that in 24hrs and a few minutes from my side of the world, that we're celebrating new year. Wishing you and your channel and fellow builders the best.
My Christmas day build: Ryzen 5 5500 - $99 MSI B450 Pro VDH Max - $85 T-Force Delta R RGB CL16 -$60 GTX 1070 ( used ) - $125 Rosewill Spectra case - $50 EVGA 650 gold plus ( from old PC build ) $0 Vetroo V5 CPU Cooler - $35 Kombustor GPU Results : Full Load : 73C Score (msi-01) : 2267 Cinebench Results : Score :10433. *The Ryzen 5 5500 never went above 45C during testing.
A truely great episode đȘđ±đ„łđđ Jason! Some amazing value and awesome fps from these optimised builds đđ€€. I love these âboosted buildsâ episodes and canât wait for them.
I wish someone would just make a visual map of bottlenecking comparing CPU, RAM, and GPU combinations for the three main use cases of high fps esports, "low" fps visual heavy games, and productivity work.
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator surely someone could make a database that generally matches components based on workload at least. I feel like so many people (myself included) make the mistake of balling out on the CPU and then getting a low-end GPU to fit the budget. Especially first-time builders.
are the differences between these three uses cases the reason why he suggested getting better faster ram for 1080p, and suggested staying at worse slower ram for 1440p? this was around @ 23:48 he suggested this and it confused me why he would say to get faster ram for a lower resolution 1080p. Seems to me like 1440p would be need better ram because it's higher resolution than 1080p.
@@paradigmshift7541 I'm not an expert but my understanding is that in general, your CPU is going to be doing more work when your frames are higher. That's because the GPU is supposedly not doing as much work and you're getting "bottlenecked" by the CPU. Of course this is super dependent on the use case. Typically the resolution is going to have the greatest impact on frame rate, hence why 1080p is going to be more CPU-bound than 1440p. If the CPU is the main constraint, faster ram will help out. My personal opinion however is that ram speed is mostly not a concern. 3200MHz ram is relatively cheap these days and it's more than enough to get you the performance you want.
are you referring to SAM (smart access memory) when you say you wouldve gone with the ryzen 5600 instead? so amd cpu and amd gpu combo would be faster than i3 with amd gpu in that scenario? or is the 5600 just faster in general? faster in general and additionally faster with SAM? I was thinking the i3 12100 with a amd 6650xt or 6700xt but i did not take think about the 5600 performance and SAM etc. i was also considering a intel cpu with 3060 ti for the better DLSS compared to fsr , ray tracing ability (though admittedly not as useful at this target performance level), and that nvidia will start using the nvidia gpu to improve youtube videos on edge and chrome (3000 and 4000 series, they said it at CES). I have time to wait some months before i buy anything if thats the best. this is my first build. watching tens of hours of video over the last couple years ha but never got as close to building as i am now. i am planning on buying used, and my budget is around 700 dollars, maybe 750 or more if really worth it. i have a 4k 60 hz monitor. i am not sure whether it supports 1440p resolution but that is my target. I am gaming, browsing the web only. I have the budget for a 4-5k system in the future but I just want to dip my feet and wait some years before ddr5 and pcie 5 advance. Any advice on which way you might go? your insight would be appreciated! i recently subscribed since i like the way you consolidate information and teach real world application with that information. btw what a great deal on that 6750 xt and psu, i cant find it anymore :( but good to know there are deals here and there
Love this series man, my friend just upgraded to a 4090 so hes sold me his 3090 and a 1000w psu for ÂŁ700, Just need to figure out what cpu and mobo to get now and ill be rolling!
@@JoshuaHill182 I have a 5800X now and it's a great CPU. I've been researching a possible upgrade to a 5800X3D and since I already have a 5800X it's looking like a marginal gain for me. However, everything I've been finding on the 5800X3D is that it is slaying everything in terms of gaming performance. If it were me, I'd spring the extra for the X3D. With the 3090 you've got an easy upgrade path to solid 4K performance and the X3D/3090 combo would rock, especially with the savings you've got in the GPU and PSU already.
One thing to note. The cheaper ram that is 3600mhz most likely isnt compatible with the motherboard at those speeds. You really need to look at the motherboards QVL for ram. If you dont then your most likely running at the base clock speed, usually around 2133mhz. For most b550 32gb @ 3600mhz that 100% compatible is way over the $200 price point. Just FYI to new builders, all marketed Ram's speed rating its max speed when over clocked (xmp profile).
Considering the current situation in the GPU market (especially outside the US) many people would probably be better off buying used. It may be worth suggesting both a new and a used GPU option in future builds if a used option is better than what is available new in the current market. It may also be worth suggesting used if they're in a country where a certain gpu that would be really good tends to be overpriced.
this month i decided its time for an upgrade and im proud to say that my configuration was the exact same as you did in you video 8 months ago. ryzen 7 5800x3d , tuf 570x mobo, ripjaws 4x8gb , samsung 980 pro ssd and i added 2tb barracuda hdd for general storage ( allready have 3080ti , 1050W psu ) i get it on 3.1. cant wait for it to arrive
your advice is 100% and helps people avoid making a huge mistake by wasting money on the wrong parts. Love your videos and advice Jason your a life saver !
Hi I have a question I have a ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB mounted on top *the heat is going out in my room* and with that I have an additional 3 fans ( Corsair LL120 63 CFM 120 mm Fans 3-Pack ) where should I put them in the case? Thank you đ
Great vid my man. I am currently parting out two pc's for a friend and my cousin which I'll be building very soon. Videos like these really help, even those that have years of experience can benefit from this.
nice builds!! im just amazed how cheaper the things are in the USA, the Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X here in europe cost 230âŹ, 20% more expensive, the 13600kf is 355âŹ, so the same build here will be 400/500⏠more expensive.. but im looking to upgrade my setup, currently i have as 9700k, asus z390 f gaming (the rest if fine) and i want a CPU+MB to par with my 3080. the problem is the CPU's are so expensive here, the 12700k is 455⏠and i dont want to talk about the 13700k. love your videos, take care
2nd Build could save more if we discard the Windows 11 dvd. Windows 11 is technically free, you can buy a key for cheap and voila! Saving 90 bucks that could get you the K processor.
This. And Microsoft has even started that buying global individual keys is legal. I don't know if they want us to, of course but I don't care what publicly traded companies want.
This pure truth just grabbed me so I subbed real quick, don't know how I missed this wonderful channel, cheers and happy new years, so good to listen to an adult.
I have just managed to purchase an RTX 3060 after waiting for two years, it will be paired with my AMD RYZEN 5 3600XT/ Corsair 3200 memory 16GB/ on an MSi B550 motherboard that I built two years ago. Can you see any potential bottle necking with my set up? I am not a Gamer, I tend to have a lot of things open at the same time and wanted a modern Rig.
Hey Jason!! Loving these boosted builds, Iâve watched and learned from so many that I donât even think mine could even offer good content anymore! Looking to start building my first PC all thanks to your incredible guides! Also, just to point something out to everyone, the Gigabyte 6750 XT was on sale last month, and is now back to US$450. Real shame as I was looking to get it too, but Newegg charges a *lot* for shipping to Hawaii so Iâll have to stick with Amazon.
The ASRock RX 6600 Challenger D 8GB review is one of my most viewed videos! I still have 2 units in my lab and they're really great value for money even today. (and 2023!)
I wouldn't touch DDR4-3600 on 12th gen Intel locked cpus because the memory controller often can't handle that speed since you can't add any extra voltage on locked cpus. To get around this your board's BIOS will sometimes drop to Gear 2 when you're trying to run 3600 MT/s speeds, which cuts the speed of the memory controller in half and slows you way down. Much better to buy DDR4-3200 which is officially supported so you can just turn on the XMP profile and forget it. Was a pain having to manually tune my DDR4-3600 to DDR4-3200 and set all the timings since my i5-12400F's memory controller could not handle the DDR4-3600 XMP profile of my RAM in Gear 1 without crashing when I stress tested it with 7-zip compressing and decompressing 4-8GB files.
Thoughts on my build? Just ordered my parts, curious on any feedback! Budget was $1600 ended around $1660. My Build: Case - MUSETEX ATX PC Case Mid-Tower Memory - Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz Storage - Samsung 870 Evo 2Tb SATA III Internal SSD CPU - Intel Core i7-12700KF GPU - Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 ti Cooling - NZXT KrakenX53 RGB 240mm Power Supply - Corsair RM850x 80+ Gold
I wanted to focus on FPS and performance for Games like Valorant, Rainbow Six while also having good graphics potential with games like Assassins Creed Valhalla
question i recently did a pc upgrade. 8600cpu with a rtx3080 now we forgot to do ram but i still have my ddr4 2133mhz 16gb. half my friends say this and that dont upgrade it. duplicate it buy another 2x8gb ddr4 2133mhz way better. the other half say dont do that. buy new and better one 3000mhz same brand. so whats better? i dont have any knowledge on my ram sadly and im getting so much conflicting stuff. i love to play warzone2 but even on high settings i struggle somehow and graphics look like lego before taking 5 seconds to look high res?
I'm looking to upgrade the 1660 ti I have paired with a i5 9600kf/z390 for only 1080p resolution. From the research I've done for the resolution a 3060 would be about 6% cpu bottleneck, a 2060 super would be a good match with about a 3% cpu bottleneck, or the best pairing I found was a gtx 1080 which had no bottleneck at all with both cpu/gpu utilizing 100% (theoretically). What do you think would be the better choice? I'm leaning toward the 3060 because it would still give me about 93% gpu utilization and I get a newer card, also my i5 is oc'd @5.17ghz.
For 916 usd I got a ârefurbishedâ rog strix with a ryzen 5800x, 3070,16g dual channel ram, 512 gb nvme and 2 tb storage drive. Why are people so scared to do this? The one I got was brand new in box like never opened. It may not always be like that but if it works like new you get so much for your money compared to even building yourself. When I bought just the build cost was almost double what I paid.
what would you say about a 7600x + future 7700xt or 6700xt? gpu pricing is really insane here like even if i drop from 7600x to 5600x which i dont think is sensible because all that money i save can only help me buy a 3070 ti instead of a 6700xt which is a much worse upgrade than 5600x to 7600x imo. what do you think?
I build PCs and I'm wondering why you haven't popped and propped all the great AMD CPUs available with faster and more efficient performance. I do both AMD and Intel depending on the customer's budget. Also, the AMD gpu s are a steal right now considering NVIDIA's reluctance to bring prices down. Stay away from the AM5 socket mobos and the 4000 series gpu s for now (build returns are at an all time high right now). Market prices are about to take fall in favor of the buyers in the market this year within the first to second quarter. Really enjoyed your video but think you can tone down the "excitement" aspect with a little less in arm, face and hand gestures (chuckles). Thanks for your hard work. It's appreciated. I'm doing cartwheels cuz ya got me so excited!
I saw the Thermalright cooler lineup last year and fell in love with the price to performance. Prices have gone up some, but still I would absolutely use a Peerless Assassin, or any one of a half dozen other good coolers they have. Vetroo does pretty good too with price to performance, but Thermalright is my favorite underapriciated CPU Cooler maker.
Amazing video, Jason! I have been dreaming of building my PC the past 6 months, spent around 200 hours researching and revising every component, scrapping my ready builds for 5 times already and going a completely different way XD. Now Im more or less certain with what build I want, already got a Lian Li o11 Dynamic Mini Snow version, love the case. But as for the other items, how could I send my setup to you so that You could review it? I would just hate to know that I made a mistake after so many hours of research. Thanks for your videos! I have been watching you probably the most compared to other PC youtubers, you just make your videos super beginner-friendly and really thorough.
So glad you are enjoying the excited for your build! We don't take DMs or do private build checks (we get dozens of requests a day and it's too much for our two cat two person team to handle). But you are welcome to submit a build to our next Boost My Build video in January and I do recommend posting to PC Part Picker forums for more support
@@kelley09162 Thank you in advance! I think my initial response with a part picker has been removed because of a link in it. Therefore I will list it here. 5600x, 3070ti (Either vision OC to match the white aesthetics or gigabyte Aorus master), white lian li galahad 240 AIO, white Lian li SL 120 3 fan (3 times), cl18 3600 corsair vengeance (white), Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 ATX AM4 Motherboard, Cooler Master V850 SFX GOLD 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply, Lian Li dynamic 011 mini snow edition, gigabyte m27q-x monitor.
Hi! Quick question on mobo sound cards. I have a Focusrite audio interface for music production. Am I correct in saying that the Focusrite acts as the sound card, bypassing my mobos sound card (assuming I have the driver and am outputting to the focusrite), meaning I don't need to worry about what the mobos quality is in that arena? My build: MSI Pro B550M-VC Ryzen 5600X Radeon 6600 (bonus: I saw you said 6600XT was a minimum for 2K gaming - is it a big difference between these two? I could return and upgrade. Playing star citizen, KSP, RTS's). Corsair 650W 32GB RAm Peerless Assassin Cooler
love your vids! question? what's the best speed to run ddr5 5200@? MSI B650-pro+wifi, MSI 6800xt Z force. Tried to set at 4200 yet got some frame jitters..Thanks!
Hi Jason! Would love to see some of these with used parts, I do think thereâs some merit especially in the GPU space to budget for a used card (if youâre savvy enough and donât mind dodging the potholes)! Thanks for the great videos, I feel like I learn something new all the time!
My Rig has an AMD Ryzen R5 3600, ASUS TUF Gaming RTX3060, Corsair Vengence Pro RGB 3600mhz DDR4 ram, and a ASUS B550 Gaming F WIFI 2 Motherboard as i planning to upgrade the CPU later and a EVGA Supernover 850 watt PSU.
watched this on my newly built pc that you helped with by making these videos. I used your code too on that key website for windows. Thanks for making these
This guy is generally correct BUT where I disagree with him is ram speed for ryzen 3000/5000 cpu's. Get the 3600 ram over the 3200 ram. It's not that much more these days. For newer intel, get at least 4000 ram.
Worth it to upgrade from 12600k to 13600k for my 4080? I only game at 4k, so Iâm not sure. But wouldnât DLSS rely more on CPU since itâs rendering at lowering resolutions like 1080/1440?
I got into pcs in 2015 made my first build and built a lot of pcs after that and these videos are amazing! definitely made me rethink how to balance out my future builds
hey guys no idea where to ask this kinda question but would the i9-13900k, MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WIFI, G.Skill Trident Z5 DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR5-6400, CL32-39-39-102 work together?
Hi Jason I have a question, I have a build with a ryzen 7 5700G and a 3070 TI what monitor should I use for playing in general? I use a 1920 144hz one but notice problems with warzone 2, any recommendations? just got it recetly but I'm kinda noob still, ty and your videos are really great
Hi can I ask for advice? What should I upgrade? My PC config is: Motherboard: Asrock B450M Pro4F CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 GPU: zotac GTX 980 Ti RAM: Aegis 64GB DDR4-3000Mhz got some little SSD and NVme drives I build the PC some time age mainly for productivity use, so I needed much CPU cores and much RAM (for Zbrush and Video Editing) I wonder If I can put an Ryzen 5900X or 5950X on this motherboard and how much would be bottlenecked by the 3000Mhz DDR4 a newer GPU would be nice too
So I am building a new PC, AMD 5600, Tuf gaming B550 plus, XLR8 16g 3600 rgb ram, Samsung 970 2TB M.2 and Radeon 6600. Now I'm not sure if I will be turning this into a new gaming computer or just my everyday computer. I do some 3D printing and I do use Cura and MeshMixer. I am reusing the 800w power supple from my current pc. The video card is what I have questions on. I have also ordered another 16g of ram just in case I go the Media route. Thoughts?
If you really want to light up your build, fans are the best option. You get highlights from RAM or GPU but the fans are where the nice glow comes from. I know white cases are in but a dark case with tinted glass makes the lighting sharp without bathing your desk in light. Most white cases don't have tinted glass. Of course this is all my opinion
Guys, we hear a lot about bottle necks when trying to get the best FPS etc. I've never seen a vidoe on how your average gamer can find out where thier systems is bottlenecked Please fix this asap. : )
Sadly the best strategy is just lots of research (which is why there's no easy solution to that). But you can check out our "Best GPU/CPU Combo video from last year and I'll have an updated version coming this spring (:

Hey Jason, first off, thank you so much for your content. It was absolutely invaluable in helping me build a PC, something I've wanted to do for the last 8 years! I can finally play my favourite games at a smooth 60 FPS or higher with high to very high settings without a hitch!
Unfortunately, modding Skyrim is proving to be a learning experience đđđ
I'm a retired IT Consultant and active Skyrim mod author. In my experience, there's little point in playing on anything above the High graphics setting on Skyrim SE because of game engine limitations and texture resolution (higher resolutions increase texture density using more GPU memory). The game engine issues a lot of draw calls, which may overload GPUs under 8GB - tanking your FPS. I run an AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, RTX 2060 6GB, 16 GB RAM (DDR4 1200 / CL17), 500 GB SSD system drive, 1 TB HDD dedicated gaming drive & 4 TB HDD storage drive. Meaning, on average 20% CPU usage drives 40% GPU usage at 55~70 Celsius CPU / 65~67 Celsius GPU & never goes above 70% RAM usage. Yet, even my FPS drops to 15~30 FPS in cities and indoors areas. Am not quite sure if the A320 m/board it's installed on is limiting the CPU or the RAM speed, but I suspect that it might be (the system was built for running a GTX 1050Ti after all) although the relative usage percentages / temperatures don't really suggest much bottle necking.
The game has a fixed limit of 256 Master files (ESMs & ESPs) that it can load and currently takes slot 0 for the main game and slots 1~3 for each of the 3 DLCs, leaving 252 ESM / ESPs available to the user; with ESPFE / ESL files being loaded outside of the game's main memory space and limited to approximately 400 entries. So, a system with 16GB+ of RAM is the way to go - remembering that GPUs share RAM with the PC and GPUs under 8GB RAM are more likely to page swap their memory when being used. As well as the PC possibly page swapping memory while the game is running - so, no playing with an internet browser or multiple tabs open!
Unless you have a really high end GPU, go for 2K resolution texture packs for mountains, plants / shrubbery / trees, water, weather, signposts, buildings & furniture - that's before you even think about adding companion / follower, gameplay or animation mods. So, try DMT's HASHESH P2 and see if that helps your frame rate, then add Vivid Landscapes - All in One - Special Edition. IF that doesn't do everything you want, supplement with any of the following from the NEXUS mods website (personally, I load textures, meshes, then lighting):-
Skyrim 3D Landscapes Groundcovers / Rocks / Stonewalls / Trees and Plants; A.Noble Skyrim; Blended Roads; Rudy HQ - Nordic Ruins; Book Covers Skyrim SE;
Fluffy Snow; Realistc HD Food Remastered / Ingots Remastered; Rustic Elder Scrolls / SoulGems / Mountains; A Quality World Map; HD Local Map;
Skyrim SE - Project Optimisation; Better FaceLight and Conversation - Redux; Mystical Illumination - Glowing Signs - C.MIGS & Mystical Illumination - I.MIGS);
Cathedral 3D - Mountain Flowers & Cathedral 3D - Mountain Flowers Hearthfire Patch; Dolomite Weathers; Static Mesh Improvements Mod - SMIM.
Avoid mods that add light sources (such as ELFX) and go for ones that just change the light colours / tone / radiance, such as Luminocity or EVLaS (only installing one at any given time). Change the tree LOD number (No. of trees displayed) in the skyrim.ini file from 77 to 64 - it makes a huge difference in reducing the number of draw calls - you can lower that by 4 at a time until you are running stable and can live with the result. Also, do the same with the grass setting.
Checkout the SSE Display Tweaks, SSE Display Tweaks - High Performance Configuration & SSE FPS Stabiliser mods. Which, handle a lot of the game engine issues by auto-adjusting the display values. Finally, anyone using an ENB can checkout mods such as ENB Helper, Water for ENB & Bright Waterfall Fix for ENB.
These videos were what helped me figure out the parts for my first pc, and I finally finished it with money from Christmas. thanks for all you do Jason đ
I think one thing worth mentioning, especially in a Boost My Build video, and also considering its your paid add at the beginning of the video, people can save roughly $100 on Windows keys and put that elsewhere in their builds. $100 makes a HUGE difference when GPU shopping.
i thought the same thing
love this series best Ive found for builds, best part about it is the description of whys and why nots, helps me understand the whole build process much better.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you are enjoying
Hello everyone

A truely great episode đȘđ±đ„łđđ Jason! Some amazing value and awesome fps from these optimised builds đđ€€. I love these âboosted buildsâ episodes and canât wait for them.
So great to hear! Thanks for the feedback it means a lot. Happy New Year!
The last build is in line what I am looking for. Many thanks.
I wish someone would just make a visual map of bottlenecking comparing CPU, RAM, and GPU combinations for the three main use cases of high fps esports, "low" fps visual heavy games, and productivity work.
Every software task is different, there's no simple rule of thumb for it.
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator surely someone could make a database that generally matches components based on workload at least. I feel like so many people (myself included) make the mistake of balling out on the CPU and then getting a low-end GPU to fit the budget. Especially first-time builders.
are the differences between these three uses cases the reason why he suggested getting better faster ram for 1080p, and suggested staying at worse slower ram for 1440p? this was around @ 23:48 he suggested this and it confused me why he would say to get faster ram for a lower resolution 1080p. Seems to me like 1440p would be need better ram because it's higher resolution than 1080p.
@@paradigmshift7541 I'm not an expert but my understanding is that in general, your CPU is going to be doing more work when your frames are higher. That's because the GPU is supposedly not doing as much work and you're getting "bottlenecked" by the CPU. Of course this is super dependent on the use case. Typically the resolution is going to have the greatest impact on frame rate, hence why 1080p is going to be more CPU-bound than 1440p. If the CPU is the main constraint, faster ram will help out.
My personal opinion however is that ram speed is mostly not a concern. 3200MHz ram is relatively cheap these days and it's more than enough to get you the performance you want.
are you referring to SAM (smart access memory) when you say you wouldve gone with the ryzen 5600 instead? so amd cpu and amd gpu combo would be faster than i3 with amd gpu in that scenario? or is the 5600 just faster in general? faster in general and additionally faster with SAM? I was thinking the i3 12100 with a amd 6650xt or 6700xt but i did not take think about the 5600 performance and SAM etc. i was also considering a intel cpu with 3060 ti for the better DLSS compared to fsr , ray tracing ability (though admittedly not as useful at this target performance level), and that nvidia will start using the nvidia gpu to improve youtube videos on edge and chrome (3000 and 4000 series, they said it at CES). I have time to wait some months before i buy anything if thats the best. this is my first build. watching tens of hours of video over the last couple years ha but never got as close to building as i am now. i am planning on buying used, and my budget is around 700 dollars, maybe 750 or more if really worth it. i have a 4k 60 hz monitor. i am not sure whether it supports 1440p resolution but that is my target. I am gaming, browsing the web only. I have the budget for a 4-5k system in the future but I just want to dip my feet and wait some years before ddr5 and pcie 5 advance. Any advice on which way you might go? your insight would be appreciated! i recently subscribed since i like the way you consolidate information and teach real world application with that information. btw what a great deal on that 6750 xt and psu, i cant find it anymore :( but good to know there are deals here and there
Love this series man, my friend just upgraded to a 4090 so hes sold me his 3090 and a 1000w psu for ÂŁ700, Just need to figure out what cpu and mobo to get now and ill be rolling!
Go for a 5700x and a good B550 motherboard. That's the minimum to me.
Ohh very nice! Depending on your budget I'd be looking at a 5800X3D or 7600X. We have build guides to both on the channel you can check out
@@PCBuilderChannel Thank you for your reply :D is it worth getting the 5800x instead of the 5800x3d if the the latter is ÂŁ100 more?
@@JoshuaHill182 I have a 5800X now and it's a great CPU. I've been researching a possible upgrade to a 5800X3D and since I already have a 5800X it's looking like a marginal gain for me. However, everything I've been finding on the 5800X3D is that it is slaying everything in terms of gaming performance. If it were me, I'd spring the extra for the X3D. With the 3090 you've got an easy upgrade path to solid 4K performance and the X3D/3090 combo would rock, especially with the savings you've got in the GPU and PSU already.
On the second build, I don't understand why he's locked to Intel and nvidia if he's paying for it.
Really great content and awesome enthusiasm. I've been enjoying your channel and your delivery style. Thanks for not boring us like some channels.
Thank you for the awesome feedback! It really means a lot. Hope you keep enjoying the content!
I already built my first PC and these videos were really helpful. Even though I already got my PC, these videos are still interesting to watch.
Would a 5600x go good with a amd 6650 or 6750?
Its great in both GPUs.
Yep, good combo!
One thing to note. The cheaper ram that is 3600mhz most likely isnt compatible with the motherboard at those speeds. You really need to look at the motherboards QVL for ram. If you dont then your most likely running at the base clock speed, usually around 2133mhz. For most b550 32gb @ 3600mhz that 100% compatible is way over the $200 price point. Just FYI to new builders, all marketed Ram's speed rating its max speed when over clocked (xmp profile).
Considering the current situation in the GPU market (especially outside the US) many people would probably be better off buying used.
It may be worth suggesting both a new and a used GPU option in future builds if a used option is better than what is available new in the current market.
It may also be worth suggesting used if they're in a country where a certain gpu that would be really good tends to be overpriced.
Good suggestions! Thank you
It's pretty crazy in some countries for example I could buy 3 ps5's new for the price of a 4080 in Australia.
this month i decided its time for an upgrade and im proud to say that my configuration was the exact same as you did in you video 8 months ago. ryzen 7 5800x3d , tuf 570x mobo, ripjaws 4x8gb , samsung 980 pro ssd and i added 2tb barracuda hdd for general storage ( allready have 3080ti , 1050W psu )
i get it on 3.1. cant wait for it to arrive
I love the cat pics in ur videos, they just add so much personality.
You remind me so much of my french teacher back in high school :p
So glad to hear it! We enjoy them (;
what an incredible channel, extremely organized and enlightening!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback (:
your advice is 100% and helps people avoid making a huge mistake by wasting money on the wrong parts. Love your videos and advice Jason your a life saver !
Thanks so much for the awesome feedback!
Hi I have a question I have a ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB mounted on top *the heat is going out in my room* and with that I have an additional 3 fans ( Corsair LL120 63 CFM 120 mm Fans 3-Pack ) where should I put them in the case? Thank you đ
Great vid my man. I am currently parting out two pc's for a friend and my cousin which I'll be building very soon. Videos like these really help, even those that have years of experience can benefit from this.
hey jason how do i submit my pc part picker list for videos like these?
nice builds!! im just amazed how cheaper the things are in the USA, the Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X here in europe cost 230âŹ, 20% more expensive, the 13600kf is 355âŹ, so the same build here will be 400/500⏠more expensive.. but im looking to upgrade my setup, currently i have as 9700k, asus z390 f gaming (the rest if fine) and i want a CPU+MB to par with my 3080. the problem is the CPU's are so expensive here, the 12700k is 455⏠and i dont want to talk about the 13700k. love your videos, take care
2nd Build could save more if we discard the Windows 11 dvd. Windows 11 is technically free, you can buy a key for cheap and voila! Saving 90 bucks that could get you the K processor.
This. And Microsoft has even started that buying global individual keys is legal. I don't know if they want us to, of course but I don't care what publicly traded companies want.
I love this "boost your build" series, it's fantastic! Thank you for doing this man! I'd love to get on on it at some point.
Merry Christmas to you and yours specially to Mr. Bear!
Great video once again, and I love the boost my build series. It's definitely one of my favourite+!!
First build he chose the exact same gpu that I chose lmao. Now I'm feeling confident on my choice
11:19 no, it's not bios but the vrms that are overheating on anything above 6 cores, they used cheap components for power delivery on DS3H.
This pure truth just grabbed me so I subbed real quick, don't know how I missed this wonderful channel, cheers and happy new years, so good to listen to an adult.
So glad you found us! Thank you for the sub and hope you keep enjoying the content
Oh nah đđđ when u busted out the tim gunn image LOL. So funny!
haha! Glad you enjoyed, we have fun with it (;
I have just managed to purchase an RTX 3060 after waiting for two years, it will be paired with my AMD RYZEN 5 3600XT/ Corsair 3200 memory 16GB/ on an MSi B550 motherboard that I built two years ago. Can you see any potential bottle necking with my set up? I am not a Gamer, I tend to have a lot of things open at the same time and wanted a modern Rig.
Thanks for helping out the PC community, I'm sure it's greatly appreciated. Hope everyone has a SAFE and HAPPY NEW YEAR
I have a rx 6700xt and a ryzen 3 3100, so definitely a bottleneck!!!
HAPPY YEARS EVE i love your videos jason
Hi Jason hope you had good Holidays :) love your video watch all them now :)
This is one of my favorite series on YT. Entertaining and informative. Hard to beat
Love your energy! And the cat pics!
Thank you!! đ
Hey Jason!! Loving these boosted builds, Iâve watched and learned from so many that I donât even think mine could even offer good content anymore! Looking to start building my first PC all thanks to your incredible guides!
Also, just to point something out to everyone, the Gigabyte 6750 XT was on sale last month, and is now back to US$450. Real shame as I was looking to get it too, but Newegg charges a *lot* for shipping to Hawaii so Iâll have to stick with Amazon.
Fantastic! So glad we could help. And thanks for sharing! Frustrating that Newegg charges so much for shipping
I upgraded my CPU to the i5 12400f, the question is now. What is the difference between the B660M and without M? Can someone explain pls
The ASRock RX 6600 Challenger D 8GB review is one of my most viewed videos! I still have 2 units in my lab and they're really great value for money even today. (and 2023!)
Thanks for the tips Jason !

I wouldn't touch DDR4-3600 on 12th gen Intel locked cpus because the memory controller often can't handle that speed since you can't add any extra voltage on locked cpus. To get around this your board's BIOS will sometimes drop to Gear 2 when you're trying to run 3600 MT/s speeds, which cuts the speed of the memory controller in half and slows you way down. Much better to buy DDR4-3200 which is officially supported so you can just turn on the XMP profile and forget it. Was a pain having to manually tune my DDR4-3600 to DDR4-3200 and set all the timings since my i5-12400F's memory controller could not handle the DDR4-3600 XMP profile of my RAM in Gear 1 without crashing when I stress tested it with 7-zip compressing and decompressing 4-8GB files.
How about pairing DDR4-3600 with Ryzen 5 5600? Does it cause the same problem?
@@emssi3109 I don't think so, I think Ryzen you can up the voltage to the memory controller if needed.
Thoughts on my build? Just ordered my parts, curious on any feedback!
Budget was $1600 ended around $1660.
My Build:
Case - MUSETEX ATX PC Case Mid-Tower
Memory - Corsair Vengeance RGB
DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 5200MHz
Storage - Samsung 870 Evo 2Tb SATA III Internal SSD
CPU - Intel Core i7-12700KF
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 ti
Cooling - NZXT KrakenX53 RGB 240mm
Power Supply - Corsair RM850x 80+ Gold
I wanted to focus on FPS and performance for Games like Valorant, Rainbow Six while also having good graphics potential with games like Assassins Creed Valhalla
question i recently did a pc upgrade. 8600cpu with a rtx3080
now we forgot to do ram but i still have my ddr4 2133mhz 16gb. half my friends say this and that
dont upgrade it. duplicate it buy another 2x8gb ddr4 2133mhz way better.
the other half say dont do that. buy new and better one 3000mhz same brand.
so whats better? i dont have any knowledge on my ram sadly and im getting so much conflicting stuff.
i love to play warzone2 but even on high settings i struggle somehow and graphics look like lego before taking 5 seconds to look high res?
What motherboard would you recommend for a ryzen 7 5700x? I'm trying to overclock aswell
Either the ROG B550F or B550A, Msi B550 tomahawk, gaming edge wifi, or carbon wifi, and The Aorus Pro B550.
Hop over to our Best Ryzen Motherboard 2022 video!
I'm looking to upgrade the 1660 ti I have paired with a i5 9600kf/z390 for only 1080p resolution. From the research I've done for the resolution a 3060 would be about 6% cpu bottleneck, a 2060 super would be a good match with about a 3% cpu bottleneck, or the best pairing I found was a gtx 1080 which had no bottleneck at all with both cpu/gpu utilizing 100% (theoretically). What do you think would be the better choice? I'm leaning toward the 3060 because it would still give me about 93% gpu utilization and I get a newer card, also my i5 is oc'd @5.17ghz.
For 916 usd I got a ârefurbishedâ rog strix with a ryzen 5800x, 3070,16g dual channel ram, 512 gb nvme and 2 tb storage drive. Why are people so scared to do this? The one I got was brand new in box like never opened. It may not always be like that but if it works like new you get so much for your money compared to even building yourself. When I bought just the build cost was almost double what I paid.
Hi, Jason I'm from Iraq good to see someone do this video for PC community
Hello! So glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
what would you say about a 7600x + future 7700xt or 6700xt? gpu pricing is really insane here like even if i drop from 7600x to 5600x which i dont think is sensible because all that money i save can only help me buy a 3070 ti instead of a 6700xt which is a much worse upgrade than 5600x to 7600x imo. what do you think?
I build PCs and I'm wondering why you haven't popped and propped all the great AMD CPUs available with faster and more efficient performance. I do both AMD and Intel depending on the customer's budget. Also, the AMD gpu s are a steal right now considering NVIDIA's reluctance to bring prices down. Stay away from the AM5 socket mobos and the 4000 series gpu s for now (build returns are at an all time high right now). Market prices are about to take fall in favor of the buyers in the market this year within the first to second quarter. Really enjoyed your video but think you can tone down the "excitement" aspect with a little less in arm, face and hand gestures (chuckles). Thanks for your hard work. It's appreciated. I'm doing cartwheels cuz ya got me so excited!
Oh dear. I blink and its already S3 of BMB.... I guess that shows how busy I've been with school and work.
I saw the Thermalright cooler lineup last year and fell in love with the price to performance. Prices have gone up some, but still I would absolutely use a Peerless Assassin, or any one of a half dozen other good coolers they have. Vetroo does pretty good too with price to performance, but Thermalright is my favorite underapriciated CPU Cooler maker.
Amazing video, Jason! I have been dreaming of building my PC the past 6 months, spent around 200 hours researching and revising every component, scrapping my ready builds for 5 times already and going a completely different way XD. Now Im more or less certain with what build I want, already got a Lian Li o11 Dynamic Mini Snow version, love the case. But as for the other items, how could I send my setup to you so that You could review it? I would just hate to know that I made a mistake after so many hours of research.
Thanks for your videos! I have been watching you probably the most compared to other PC youtubers, you just make your videos super beginner-friendly and really thorough.
So glad you are enjoying the excited for your build! We don't take DMs or do private build checks (we get dozens of requests a day and it's too much for our two cat two person team to handle). But you are welcome to submit a build to our next Boost My Build video in January and I do recommend posting to PC Part Picker forums for more support
I like being nice to people so if you put your setup here I can quickly look at it and see if I notice anything.

would you reccomend a 7900 xtx with a ryzen 7700x CPU? or would the CPU bottleneck the gpu
A 7700x would work on a 4090. So that could mean It would go as well with the 7900 xtx.
Hi! Quick question on mobo sound cards. I have a Focusrite audio interface for music production. Am I correct in saying that the Focusrite acts as the sound card, bypassing my mobos sound card (assuming I have the driver and am outputting to the focusrite), meaning I don't need to worry about what the mobos quality is in that arena?
My build:
MSI Pro B550M-VC
Ryzen 5600X
Radeon 6600 (bonus: I saw you said 6600XT was a minimum for 2K gaming - is it a big difference between these two? I could return and upgrade. Playing star citizen, KSP, RTS's).
Corsair 650W
32GB RAm
Peerless Assassin Cooler
ah ha! Just seeing this now and saw you found your answer in another video. Glad we could help! (:
love your vids! question? what's the best speed to run ddr5 5200@? MSI B650-pro+wifi, MSI 6800xt Z force. Tried to set at 4200 yet got some frame jitters..Thanks!
Just turn on the xmp/expo profile, you are actually underclocking it lol
Thanks for the great information you give us and hard work you do! Great video as always buddy!

I love your videos Jason! I realy love your opinion no madder what a big company want you to say positive about products.
What is the highest acceptable price for rx6700xt? Also is MSI mech 2x gpu's descent or choose other variant?
Hi Jason! Would love to see some of these with used parts, I do think thereâs some merit especially in the GPU space to budget for a used card (if youâre savvy enough and donât mind dodging the potholes)!
Thanks for the great videos, I feel like I learn something new all the time!
Love it. Great looks at how to build a system
My Rig has an AMD Ryzen R5 3600, ASUS TUF Gaming RTX3060, Corsair Vengence Pro RGB 3600mhz DDR4 ram, and a ASUS B550 Gaming F WIFI 2 Motherboard as i planning to upgrade the CPU later and a EVGA Supernover 850 watt PSU.

Awesome timing with that sponsor. Building a PC in the next few days!
B450-f gaming and 1660ti what cpu should I upgrade to? My current cpu is the 2700x only play cod and valorant
watched this on my newly built pc that you helped with by making these videos. I used your code too on that key website for windows. Thanks for making these

Your patience and skill at this is spectacular.
For that second build, the OP probably has access to a cheap Windows license through his university.
Good tip!
This guy is generally correct BUT where I disagree with him is ram speed for ryzen 3000/5000 cpu's. Get the 3600 ram over the 3200 ram. It's not that much more these days.
For newer intel, get at least 4000 ram.
Yiu really boosted their builds. awesome video, I love these videos
Got Colorful Advanced 3080 in christmas sale for $445 đ
Awesome!!
Worth it to upgrade from 12600k to 13600k for my 4080? I only game at 4k, so Iâm not sure. But wouldnât DLSS rely more on CPU since itâs rendering at lowering resolutions like 1080/1440?
No, not really. If you already have the CPU, there's not much of a reason to upgrade.
I got into pcs in 2015 made my first build and built a lot of pcs after that and these videos are amazing! definitely made me rethink how to balance out my future builds
Glad you like them!
hey guys no idea where to ask this kinda question but would the i9-13900k, MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WIFI, G.Skill Trident Z5 DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR5-6400, CL32-39-39-102 work together?
Absolutely, yeah. I'd now worry about the GPU you want to buy or you already have it.
@@rogued3mon414 probably the 4080 or 4090 but i will see what prices i can get them for
Hi Jason I have a question, I have a build with a ryzen 7 5700G and a 3070 TI what monitor should I use for playing in general? I use a 1920 144hz one but notice problems with warzone 2, any recommendations? just got it recetly but I'm kinda noob still, ty and your videos are really great
Hi can I ask for advice? What should I upgrade?
My PC config is:
Motherboard: Asrock B450M Pro4F
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700
GPU: zotac GTX 980 Ti
RAM: Aegis 64GB DDR4-3000Mhz
got some little SSD and NVme drives
I build the PC some time age mainly for productivity use, so I needed much CPU cores and much RAM (for Zbrush and Video Editing)
I wonder If I can put an Ryzen 5900X or 5950X on this motherboard and how much would be bottlenecked by the 3000Mhz DDR4
a newer GPU would be nice too
Iâve got a 3070 and a new 5800x3d, I need to upgrade my gpu in order to achieve max performance with that cpu right? 1080p 240hz
Don't upgrade the GPU. 3070 is good for 1080p 240hz but depends on the game and the graphic settings.
So I am building a new PC, AMD 5600, Tuf gaming B550 plus, XLR8 16g 3600 rgb ram, Samsung 970 2TB M.2 and Radeon 6600. Now I'm not sure if I will be turning this into a new gaming computer or just my everyday computer. I do some 3D printing and I do use Cura and MeshMixer. I am reusing the 800w power supple from my current pc. The video card is what I have questions on. I have also ordered another 16g of ram just in case I go the Media route. Thoughts?
If you really want to light up your build, fans are the best option. You get highlights from RAM or GPU but the fans are where the nice glow comes from. I know white cases are in but a dark case with tinted glass makes the lighting sharp without bathing your desk in light. Most white cases don't have tinted glass. Of course this is all my opinion
Nice channel and many good tips. I have one question, at 23.47 you recommend 3600 cl16 memory for more FPS paired with a Ryzen 5 5600 ??
Glad you are enjoying! Check out our Best Ram for gaming video for more on this
The first build you updated is a work of art for that price and the user spec. Great work!
These are so interesting, even though I'm not building anything. And love your enthusiasm (and cat!) đ€
Guys, we hear a lot about bottle necks when trying to get the best FPS etc. I've never seen a vidoe on how your average gamer can find out where thier systems is bottlenecked Please fix this asap. : )
Sadly the best strategy is just lots of research (which is why there's no easy solution to that). But you can check out our "Best GPU/CPU Combo video from last year and I'll have an updated version coming this spring (:
Merry Christmas Jason, hope you spend these holiday weeks with joy! And great video as always
