@ZachsTechTurf I’m looking to get a new gaming pc I have a 1440p monitor and need an nvidia graphics card for some of the things I’m gonna do but what is ur recommendation as to gpu + cpu for 1440p max settings with an nvidia graphics card
tbh im still really unhappy about how you made fun of someone for saying that a 12 gen i9 is worse than a 13th gen i5, and an 13600k is better than a 12900k, and its not a preference thing, its a performance thing
I’m kinda new to pcs, and wherever I look online it says different things, I was hoping to get the 4060ti, i7 12700k and 32 gigs of ddr5 ram and a gigabyte z790 motherboard board but I don’t know about coolers and other stuff I may need, so yeah, I need help 🙏🙏🙏🥺 please help me
(Edit. I don’t even know if those parts work together or that cuz a friend recommended so ummm)

I like the new chalkboard animation style you have in this video while you're going over spec recommendations.. nice touch. Super glad to see how much you're channel is growing! Truly love to see the success Zach, very happy for you. I always anticipate seeing a new (long form) video from you when I login to CZcams. Keep it up my friend, you're doing it!!
Great to hear it! I really liked it as well, and told our editors "We're gonna be doing this again" lol. Thanks :)
hey Zach, I’m a military firefighter and looking to make a firefighter themed PC. Was wondering if you could design a PC for firefighters, cops, EMS, and military themes?
I’ve got some ideas but nothing complete or concrete
Corsair used to make the vengeance c70 case which looks like an ammo can. If you can find one it would be great for a military theme build.
Very cool. That'd be a tough design! Let me know how it turns out
I can do a "fire extinguisher" styled PC... there's a few old OEM cases that fit this aesthetic and would be easy for me to mod.

@@ZachsTechTurf he's seemed to edit it to ask for your help, just notifying you because this would be a pretty cool video
I found a brand new Aurora R3 for 1k(MSRP was 2.2k, at the time) had a i7--2600k, 2xGTS430s 1gb/ea in SLi, 16gb ram, AIO, it was to me at the time amazing, upgraded the to a EVGA GTX680 FTW 4gb, and after that it ran any game I threw at it, at max...mostly played WoW, and it ran it sooo good...eventually sold it...but it was never unstable and only during hot summer days the fans would ramp up and overall it was super quiet...before I built my current system, I considered a new Alienware or some other top end PC SI, but I ended up building which was a very great xp :)
gg
Love your videos very helpful and fun to watch. 🎉
I was wondering if you could make another 1000$ PC build ?
i love the editing in this video keep it up!
Glad to hear it, thanks!
Never had an Alienware desktop, but I've loved their laptops. Had a few over the years
Nice! I had one of them as well back in the day
This is the one thing that i never expected zach to say
Trying to keep everyone on their toes
Bought a 2014 Alienware area-51-r2, with Intel i7-5930k liquid cooled, gtx 980, 1000watt power supply, 32gb ram, with an ssd for windows. This pc lasted forever. I upgraded the gpu to a 3060 in 2022 and it ran flawlessly. I recently gutted everything out of it and put a Ryzen 5900x build in there with the same 3060. The case is amazing. It’s got plenty of room for massive air coolers unlike the one in your video. Plus the air flow is much better
Another issue with ebay is on bids, if the seller doesn't get the amount of money they want on a bid, they either cancel it and change the price and the highest bidder get stuck ok customer service trying to can the bid
Yea I don't ever bid on auctions tbh.
shock because I normally don't touch pre-builts under $700
Nice video! Thanks for the windows!
I'm still waiting for the 'Alien Mothership' to arrive , seriously, nicely done, great points and info for those open to a used Alienware !
Thanks!
Great video and thanks for the windows discounts!
I have a late 2021 alienware aurora r10 ryzen 5 5600x rx 5700xt 32gb ram and 1000w psu paid 500 total for everything and it's amazing
That price to performance is insane🤩🔥🔥
Oh that's a solid deal for sure
could you maske a list of the best GPU-s for 2k gaming that arent even that expensive in price to performance?
I would really like to know wich one is worth buying.
❤really like your video editing and style 👍🏼especially your shorts 😅
I am stuck in choosing 2 different combos for 1440p
R7 5700x 6800xt or 7600 6800xt
Which is better for 1440p
R7 5700x combo is much cheaper
I have this PC although it’s an R10 and looks exactly the same.
CPU being AMD Ryzen 9 5900
GPU being AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
32gb RAM
2TB storage
I’m doing ultrawide (3440x1440) and VR gaming with absolutely no problems and I haven’t had any issues with cooling.
Just thought I’d add since he wasn’t sure how the cooling was on this PC with higher specs.
Petition to stop saying “first”

This is just as bad

@ZachsTechTurf I wanted to ask what you would recommend i should upgrade on my pc and i would like to mention that i am thinking of buying a 4080 super
•CPU: 5800x
•Motherboard: Asus Strix B550-f
•GPU: Zotac 3060 (I bought it at a ridiculous price during the cyrypto phase for $1000)
•RAM: Corsair 32 GB
•Storage: MP400 M.2 1TB/4TB
•Cooler: H100i Platinum
•Power: Corsair RM850
•Case: o11d XL Black
I play on 1080p but could possibly upgrade to a higher resolution and rn i have a 240hz monitor and if i get a better one it will also be 240hz
The games I play are
•GTA V
•MW3
(i play weaker games from every now and then but those are the main 2)
hi Zach could you recommend a good pc under 400 ?
it would help me a lot
Could you make a higher budget build like 1000 or 1500?
1660 ti is a pretty nice little card. Basically a 1070 Jr with a bit less vram but almost the exact same performance
Yea it's definitely still solid
Hey there.. I LOVE buying older Alienware units. I like the R10s and R12s. I bought several when folks were just getting them to harvest the GPUs. So I got these a couple of years ago. But the R10 running 5000 series ryzen has a lot of room to grow. I only buy the 1000W Liquid Cooled units. I've gotten several at the $400 to $500 price point and they make great gaming and content creation rigs. Are they as "fast" as they could be? Nope.. not according to synthetic benchmarks. But could I tell the difference in real-world use? Nope.. While being proprietary, that also means they are tightly integrated to work. And, dell is excellent for drivers, support documents, service guides, etc. I know they are the prebuilts all the "big CZcamsrs" love to hate, but in real life, I love em.
Cheers
Rick
Nice, thanks for sharing. What's the main reason you LOVE Alienwares specifically though?
@@ZachsTechTurf Hey there. What I love about the Alienware systems, at least the R10s and up, is their integration. I know they are not the best for enthusiasts looking for optimal noise, heat, and performance, but they do just "work" when used as designed. I've only run into problems trying to run them outside the lines. Also, Dell does a great job with their support (tech docs, etc.) of the platform which makes building and maintaining them easy. Lastly, I have several custom machines in all shapes and sizes including a Thermaltake Ceres 500 with RGB goodness (it's my personal workstation i9 12900K w/ RTX 4070 TI). But regardless of all those other custom systems, it's the Alienware systems that everyone seems to gravitate to. To me, and I'm certainly not alone, they just look cool. I recently swapped out the simulator PC at our Civil Air Patrol squadron for an R10 Ryzen 5600x w/ RX 7600 8GB. Everyone immediately gravitated to the R10 and complemented it's look and performance. It's on par with the old unit, but the R10 just looks cooler. So those are some of the things that I personally LOVE about them: Consistency in parts and ease of maintenance, tightly integrated software management, and atheistic appeal.
Cheers!
Rick
hey,which is the best combination for 1440p and simracing?
ryzen 7 5700X with Rtx 4070 super, ryzen 5 7600X with rtx 3070 ti, or ryzen 5 7500F with rtx 3080?
hey zack , my current desktop system is running a ryzen 7 2700x and an RX580 , i found a really good deal on a 6900XT and looking to upgrade my Cpu to go with it i was wondering which cpu should i be going for .
Thats a great find, nice specs for 450, 1660 is still solid for 1080 gaming.
Aye GVG Mall is great!
Zach i got an Intel Iris plus 655 and i5 8259u is it good or bad Pls answer

looking for a good pc under 500 bucks what is a good one? hopefully prebuilt

Hey, currently watching this on my R10 that I have upgraded a lot. The specs are a Ryzen 7 5800x, 32G of DDR4, a 3060, and 1 tb of hdd and 1tb of ssd that I put in it. I am trying to upgrade and selling it has been a pain on marketplace right now I have it listed for 750$ because I thought that it was a fair price but after this video I am not to sure. Could you tell me a good price I should list it for?????
I'm in Argentina I have the ps5 and I was wondering if I should upgrade to a 4k tv, is a 4k 60hz 50 inch one good for around $350 or is there one that you recommend for under $500 tht I could get here.
Hey Zach, I'm really in need of an upgrade,. I have had my current PC for 6 years. It's rocking an RTX 2060, and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600. I bought it prebuilt but added 16GbB of DDR4 RAM. My budget is $1000$ to $1300$. I play mostly CPU-intensive games, but I have a couple of GPU-intensive games that I also play a lot. could you please make a video about this?
Alienware can be a good deal off Dell with coupon codes/cash back. I got a refurbished Aurora R15 with 13900kf / 4090 for $2600 by stacking coupon codes and got $300 cash back as well. That was only a bit more than a 4090 by itself at the time early last year. It was basically brand new with most of the plastic peel still on it just came in a plain Dell box instead of the fancy Alienware one.
I just got an Alienware Aurora r12, i5-11400f, RTX - 3080 with 8 gigs RAM for 600 plus shipping on EBAY :)
Hello, what microphone do you use?
hey railroads online I think is a good game to test hardware on a gaming pc since it have amazing graphics and it runs on unreal engine 5.3

Just wondering
Zach, I wanna upgrade from 3080 leaning AMD i have around 1000 euro i can add some if needed. 7800 or 7900 series?
I recently donated a i5-9400f with a basic asrock motherboard to a friend who had a Alienware Aurora R2 and it was purely painful to put the motherboard in but luckily after removing a lot of the alienware weird shit I managed to post first try. (my friend is quite good with computers but even he was scared to touch anything on it)
edit: I will have to figure out how to switch out the psu whenever he decides to upgrade from his quadro k4200

Please make a non-RGB build with i9-13900K and 7900xtx
But make it red or dark red and use the red devil or something GPU
Just go with Mr. Mat Lees Fractal North Nocua build. Slap in a Red Devil xtx and you're good. But I'd go with 7800x3d instead as AMD parts communicate with each other better. You got a work station cpu with a sole gaming gpu.
I got that same exact case but a rx 3700x and 2080super 16gb for 500 was it a steal?
Haven't had one problem with my R13.

If you are going to case swap from an Alienware. Cable extenders are your best friend, I case swapped an Alienware I picked up for $1000 aud with a i7 10700kf and a weird but also kinda cool Alienware water-cooled 2080 super. I personally spent the extra money to have all the cables the same colour and style but you will need a 24 pin atx extention cable
I got my i5-11600k, 2070Super, Z590I from marketplace for $400. And that’s an ITX build too, in the NZXT 210i
Sorry i was asking can yu swap a CPU from hp prodesk motherboard to a ASUS motherboard?
@@SportsRaha make sure the socket is correct, the cpu generation will matter. For AMD the sockets are AM4 and AM5, for Intel the 10th and 11th gen CPUs are LGA 1200 socket, older than 10th gen is LGA 1151 socket i believe, while newer CPUs are LGA 1700. So make sure your new motherboard is compatible. Also, sometimes even if the socket is LGA 1200, it may not support 11th gen CPUs, the socket is for physically fitting into the motherboard. So a quick google search “is the ‘cpu model’ compatible with the ‘motherboard model’”. Hope that helps
Hi Zach!! Do you think getting an RX 6700 XT and a Ryzen 5 5600X (with 32GB DDR4) would be a good USED PC for $400? I think this is a good deal because used RX 6700 XTs go for around $290-300 from what I have seen. Please reply saying yes its a good buy or its not. I am not to sure. THANKS!
Yea that would be a great deal but you aren't gonna find that unless you get ultra lucky

Hi I need help I am about to build my first PC and I was wondering if these parts are good a Radeon RX 7900 XTX, AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D
Should i get an rtx 3060 or 4060 for gaming?
What is a better choice for gaming with an RX 5700XT. A Ryzen 5 5600 non x or a 12400f
both are basically very similar, the 12400f a bit better by a tiny margin. go with whichever is cheaper if you can't invest with new platform like am5, because both of the cpus you mentioned have dead platforms
