I have a question. What about ryzen 9 5900x? I have a Ryzen 9 5900x paired rtx 3080 gigabyte vison (white version 10 gb), x570 PG Velocita Motherboard, 32gb 3600mhz ram, 850 psu, and a 360mm AIO cooler. Im a content creator as well as a gamer and I want to upgrade my gpu most likey to an RX 7900 xtx because Ive never had a AMD GPU and I want the extra V ram. Do you think I have to upgrade my whole rig to the ryzen 7000 series CPU? That would mean a new motherboard and ram too. I have money but im not rich lol!
The 2022 edition of this video was so helpful to me when I was putting together my build last year. Could not find this sort of advice anywhere else. Love that your channel offers this sort of pragmatic, easy to digest advice.
@@PCBuilderChannel Pity I didn't found this channel before... I'm a 53 y.o guy that haven't build a PC for like 15 years, and it was a bit daunting to make one just to play BG3 :D, everything has changed since last time, starting with the demise of HDDs 0_0 On a really low budget under 650€, including Windows 11 and with prices not as good as in USA, after an entire afternoon of research I ended with a i3-1200 + RX6600 (+ 32 RAM, 1T SSD, Thermalright cooler, Fractal case, TUF Wifi motherboard, 750w basic supply, etc) and I regret nothing... or should I?
This video is still extremely helpful in mid-October 2023 as I look out on the landscape of PC parts with an upcoming upgrade planned in the 2023 holiday season. There is no other tech creator that breaks down the various tiers as well as you do and the conversation around bottleneck helps put the CPU vs GPU into much needed perspective. I love the specific mention of folks who have an AM4 motherboard and the option for the Ryzen 7 5800 X3D because this is exactly the scenario I'm in and you helped me make a decision on what tier GPU makes the most sense for me.
@@PCBuilderChannel Would you place the Radeon 7800 XT squarely in the Midrange GPU category @ 10:26 mid-tier? It seems like given the price per performance it would be better than the 6950 XT, unless you think the previous gen still edges out the new gen in this case? My goal is to game at 1440p using my existing Ryzen 5 5600X.
This is a terrific conversation to have when specing out a new build, and I especially appreciate the comments about "future proofing". I personally prefer to build in cpu headroom because it's far easier to upgrade a gpu later. And historically gpus have the most movement in their pricing so planning a 2-3 year gpu upgrade has worked for me. But I build on a 5-6 year cycle so my entire build is built with 5 years of performance wants/needs instead of optimizing for just today. YMMV
@@makunouchiippo816 Meaning your GPU was either underutilized for years, or isn't performing very well now. "Unlocking" the performance of an older GPU with a CPU upgrade is simply an admission that your GPU was previously bottlenecked by the CPU and you have never been getting maximum possible performance from the system. If the GPU was free or otherwise obtained for less than market price this is certainly an acceptable situation. If you paid full price for all that unused capacity much less so. It is simply undeniable that it is much easier to upgrade a GPU than a CPU, which will often also involve a new MOBO or the risks associated with a BIOS update.
I remember building in ye olde days and seeing people like Jason who would somehow manage to extract similar (or more) performance for $300 less than my builds. Only now am I figuring out how you guys did it. Thanks for putting the fun back into building, Jason.
Last time I tried doing this myself, having built my PCs for years and years, I failed to realize the CPU I bought was in the same family and model range at the time, but did not have hyperthreading, which went on to become a fabulous problem, leaving me out of a lot of gaming and software I wanted to run at the time. This kind of video is a must, even for people who have been doing this for a while.
Not necessarily a problem, my old PC had an 8-core Core i7 9700K with no hyperthreading and it ran all games like a champ. As long as you have at least six physical cores (preferably eight), you don't really need hyperthreading for games.
The good news is that most 16 VRAM graphics cards at the market can't really use those 16 gb, so we wont be seeing games targeting anything above 8 GB in a near future.
@@garibaldo1 it's good for gamers but for the workstation builds who also wanna game under budget i'd recommend minimum 8gb vram and 12gb vram for best performance
I just subbed to your channel. I have only seen four videos, and as somebody who likes building PCs in his free time and is interested in the same topics you cover, I admit that you do it better and faster. It is only different when looking at pricing, as I am located in Europe. Keep up the great work. What you bring to the table in 17 minutes is a blessing for everybody who wants to build a suitable system.
Just built a new machine about a month and a half ago.. I went with the 7700X and 7900XTX combo. I was originally gonna get a 7800X3D.. but at the time of research there was the issues of chips blowing up and all that and not a lot of explanations as to why yet so I opted to go with something else and the 7700X was $50 off of MSRP right then so I thought it would pair nicely and it has been a dream of a machine so far. I can run most games (Elden Ring, and FF7 Remake to name a couple..) on high or ultra settings at 4k and some light ray tracing engaged and it's butter smooth. I have no doubts this machine will last me 8+ years or longer.
I decided to go with the 7600x and 6750xt combo to put me on the AM5 socket so in another couple of years I can spend more to upgrade the CPU and GPU at the same time without having to upgrade anything else. More or less rather then spending around $1200 for all of my components I can focus the same $1200 on just two components at upgrade time. Which is usually what I do. Get in somewhere around the mid range area at the time (which is usually a big upgrade from what I had before) when it is time for a full new build, then just at the end of a socket get the absolute best upgrades I can afford in GPU and CPU and then ride that out until I just have to do a full new build. Was running i5 8600k and 1070Ti before which has kept me going right up to this year before I really had to start turning down settings to still be able to play current games at a decent frame rate. I typically only do a new build about every 5 to 7 years or so.
Im doing to the same. Im building one with an i3 13100f but Because I wanted to go DDR5 and Im planning to on a I7 later but at the Moment Im just trying to get it done as soon as I can. Im only missing video card, ram and SDD I just built the the rest today, Im trynna get the Rx7600 Because I also planing to play at 1080p and I only spending 950$ in everything including monitor. Keyboard and mouse.
Upgraded from Ryzen 3 3200G and RX570 to a Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 2060. I had my old pc for 2 years now and used it for gaming and programming, but handling multiple virtual machines and multitasking has become slower and slower. Thanks to my supportive family, got to have an upgrade and I only have a 4% bottleneck which is easily remedied by resolution settings. Multitasking has never been smoother and gaming has never been more fun tbh. I feel like my pc can go for around 4-5 years. I think the component that would make that future proof a bit less is the B450 motherboard. I just hope the support won't go away anytime soon.
I made the mistake of upgrading my CPU thinking it'll open more room for my 2070 super about a year ago. It worked okay for a while but then I could see that it was really stressing my GPU. So when I got the money I upgraded to a 3080 and now my 5900x is ZOOMING and my 3080 is kicking so much ass. This was a great combo for me!
Well it depends on what games and on what setting are you playing. I just got Ryzen 7800X3D paired with 2070 super but I play Fortnite only on competitive settings with 240hz monitor and I don't have bottleneck from my GPU. Still running solid 600-900 FPS. But yes if you are playing other titles where you want to look good instead of squeezing every bit of FPS possible yes it's better to get a better GPU with a slower CPU.
Im using 5950x with rtx 3070 does 5950x handle and feed rtx 4070ti?? I think its last gpu upgrade for me with 5950x 2 more years and will sell that and upgrade whole build. With new AM6 if there will be by then?
When i built my first PC 10 years ago, it was either i5-4690k/R9 280, or FX8350/R9 290 with my strict $700 budget. Im so happy I went with the first, as my father still uses that PC with zero issues, although its really starting to show its age
I've listened to your advice and bought the 7600 + 7900 XTX, as I found a really good deal for the 7600 new at only 150 euro after tax (usually is sold at 220 euro, but I bought it with the MSI B650M PRO for 70 euro off). I hope you are right about the combo. One day in the future I might upgrade CPU to whatever the best price/performance X3D CPU there is.
@@skakuneu The GPU is heavily bottlenecking that CPU. The Minimum GPU pairing for the 13600k should be the rx 6800 or rtx 4070. But I suggest you get something more like the i5 12400f and an rx 6700xt/rx6800
Thanks for another boost video, Jason. About boost story 9, I updated his build for better and extra parts. I upgraded his CPU to a 7900 from a 7700, His ssd would be 1tb WD BLACK 850X and 2tb SOLIDIGM P41 PLUS for 200 CAD instead of a single 2 TB 850X. We've been chatting about the upcoming AMAZON and newegg sale to buy the GPU and the other parts and what should he get first and last. Edit: The total for this update is 3030 CAD and he doesn't mind that its close to budget limit as long as the sale hits. I told him to get the psu first considering the psu market and the psu is on sale right now and he just ordered the psu yesterday.
As somebody who has been out of the loop with this sort of stuff for a while and is considering putting together a gaming PC I'm finding your content enormously useful. Thank you so much.
I’m in the same boat, 30 fps starfield gave me the push back to pc. Careful though, I went from being kinda reasonable 5600/6600xt to SSF mini itx builds. Just a case is £200😂. Then there SFX PSU’s 😳 I went from around £600 to over £1500 real quick. Having strong words with myself😅
@@christinaedwards5084 Between it not coming to PS5 and it being stuck at 30fps on Xbox I think Starfield is giving Jason and his peers a lot of clicks. 😂 And I know what you mean, it's hard to not get carried away and get more performance than I will reasonably need. I've assembled a few lists for various tiers and plan top just sit on it for a while so the "oh shiny" part of my brain can calm down.
@@JS-dr1gi it’s the FOMO 😂 Cause I own a QHD 144hz monitor I want 144fps. When I started I was more reasonable 100fps and medium settings was my target. I know why, if I’m going to spend so much as I’m starting from scratch I want it to last at least 6 years before starting again. My mentality is if it’s 140+ fps today should be at least 60 in 5-6 years time. Bigger problem is everything I like the look of is AM4 which limits upgrade potential. But I read bad things about AM5
@@christinaedwards5084 hahah me too... i wont list em all but just one mention of my room right now, i have 4 CPU coolers. ill stop at that.. ok one more 3 Rog strixx boards.. i shoul get those "strong words" tattood to my fore head!
That is great to hear! I actually started this channel when I returned to pc building after a break and wishes there was more info out there for new and returning builders.
Currenty running an AMD 5900X, 7900 XTX, Gigabyte X570 Gaming X, 64GB DDR4 3600 CL18 ram on a Corsair RM850 PS. Case is a NZXT H5 Flow RGB and the cooler is a DeepCool LT520. Monitor is a 32" Asus 1440p, 170Hz VA panel
Great info as usual. CPU vs. GPU is usually the combination that is the most difficult to measure without actually having the parts. Your advice is much appreciated. Many thanks for taking the guesswork out of fundamental PC building components.
Good video all around. If I had just one nit to pick though, I'd point out something in the AM4 platform upgrade section: At most places, a 5700X costs about half the 5800X3D, has a little over half the TDP and better thermals, to the point you can get away with using a stock cooler with it (read: even more savings that can go into a better GPU or a new system later down the line), and there's only a 5 to 15% performance difference, depending on the game. That already makes it the better cost/performance ratio AM4 CPU, but the main reason I write this comment isn't even necessarily about that metric. Put simply, the AM4 is a legacy platform, already superseded by the AM5 chipset. If someone wants to further upgrade their CPU later, they would have no choice but to switch motherboards, at which point they would be pretty much building a new system from scratch, which makes sinking an extra 150-200 USD into a processor with a limited lifespan in exchange of an average of 10% more FPS a wasteful proposition.
Funny, its November and I was just about finishing building my new pc. For a second there when I started to watch I was afraid I would be completely off, but turned out I actually just hit the mark with one of CPU + GPU combinations you mentioned. Its very nice and reassuring to know I have not screwed up my pc build and my whole day doing it was successful.
I'm always spending a lot more on the CPU because it's going to see multiple generations of GPUs. Upgrading it requires ditching the motherboard and ram most of the time (thanks intel) so I keep it for 6 years, at the very least. (checking back, it was 2004, 2009, 2015, 2023) January 2023 I got a 13700K, because the added price over the 13600K was worth for the extra cores that are going to carry later on even though today both have similar gaming performance. Also, the second reason is that you can tweak graphical settings to suit your GPU, but you cannot change the CPU cost of a game, meaning a CPU bottleneck can only be resolved by changing the part, not the settings. When down the line the CPU is limited to 100 fps and there's nothing I can do about it, then that's when I have desire to change it. Third reason is that GPU performance have much better generational improvement compared to CPUs.
Same. I also play at 1080p so... lol. Also the CPU is useful for other stuff outside of gaming while the GPU isn't as important as it is in gaming. I have a i5 8600 and will upgrade to a r9 7900 or whatever the 8000 series if it's any good. And I will get a rtx 4070 since it's the same price as a 7800xt in my region and that power consumption is so low it's amazing and 12gb vs 16gb isn't a conversation when I play 1080p.
exactly idk why misinformed ppl try to tell others on a budget to get a less powerful cpu to get a better gpu. i.e. 5800x with a 3080 instead of going with something like a 5800x3d with a refurbished or preowned 2060-2070. the 2000 series can still run pretty much every competitive fps game on the market rn at 1080p low at 144fps avg. Yeah youll have a gpu bottleneck but thats easily relieved say in a year when you have enough to actually upgrade to like a 4000 series. Also u wont need to get a new mobo if the new cpu socket changes etc
I thoroughly agree. I think the advice to not invest too much in a CPU and putting that money towards a GPU instead will lead to better performance in that moment. But over the entire lifetime of the build, I really believe in leaving a little headroom CPU-wise to benefit from the more affordable gains that will be available over a few generations of GPU.
Excellent video! These videos always help me to stay informed and make the best build decisions. I may wait for the 14th Gen next season (or whenever it comes out), but if not, I am thinking of going with a Y60 case, 13900k with a Kraken 360 (or AK620), RTX 4090, 64gb Trident (32x2), 2TB wD Black & 8tb Samsung Evo, 1200 Seasonic Gold, and an Asus Apex or Maximus Z790. With said cooler and some good Lian Li fans, I’m hoping I don’t have to delid/direct die cool… Lots of 4k video editing, moderate gaming (Flight Simulator mostly), photo editing, and maybe some VR.
11:53 instead of the single fan AK400, buying the cheaper AG400 Plus (dual fan single tower) and then swapping out their fans with Scythe Wondersnail is a solid alternative option too for dirt-cheap yet powerful air cooler. My 5800X3D is happy with this config.
One thing he didn't mention in otherwise great video is that faster CPU might not give you higher average FPS, but can still give you much better 1% lows smoothing out overall experience much more. While GPU will still render given number of frames on average, smoothest will be much noticed. Remember we don't even notice average that much, what spoils our experience is lows. For same reason 12 or better 16 Gb video card is desired. As 8 Gb card will likely still have good average but terrible lows once VRAM is maxed out.
Having a new 5800X3D and still a 2070 S. I want to upgrade my GPU to the next level and jump up from 1080p to 1440p. Are AMD´s 6950XT or even 7800XT series cards the better option, or the Nvidia 4070 ? What concerns me is the lower VRAM on the green site and the much higher power consumption on the red site. Is it best to pair AMD CPU with AMD GPU then? Or even any other AMD/NVIDIA model?
So now with the 7800xt out, what would you recommend/change in the video? I am thinking of upgrading my Ryzen 5 2600x to a 7800x3d and was planning to buy the 7800xt. After the video that sounds like an overkill. Would you recommend to go for a 7900xt instead and get the 7600 CPU? The 7800xt looks to be pretty solid and the upgrade from my current CPU should boost my system by a huge amount i guess? Most of the titles I play are not too heavy (WoW, Valheim, Witcher) but want to get into more gaming with current titles, which will probably tempt me to upgrade my 1080p monitor to a 1440p. Would be happy if you have a recommendation for me what, in your opinion, the smart thing to do would be.
Recently upgraded from gtx 1070ti and i5 8400 with 16gigs of ram to a 4070 and r5 7600 with 32 gigs ddr5 6000mhz ram. Got an 7k/7k m2 ssd with it too. Really huge upgrade for me since I live in a country thats hard to buy stuff like this. You made me really happy with this video since now I know that I built a great pc. I just need to buy a cooler for my r5 7600 since it can almost boil a water right now with its stock cooler. Gonna pick up that deepcool you suggested, thanks!
Well, this has certainly given me a bunch to think about. I am currently running a Ryzen 5 2600x (32GB 3200 RAM at the moment, got scope to go up to 64GB pretty easily) with a 980Ti 6GB and whilst it manages pretty well on most things that I play at 1080, it is starting to struggle a little with new stuff, especially when I start to ramp up the image quality. I am not planning on moving away from 1080 at the moment as the monitor that I bought a few years back is still an amazing screen and that has a native 1080 resolution. Definitely want to be getting something a little more for when I get into Starfield.
I had a similar build and upgraded to a 5800X3D on a B550 Steel Legend board and wow that thing is a beast. Just get an AIO cooler for it because she gets toasty.
@@michaelwatson7249 Fingers crossed, I may have a Lenovo P720 workstation (ex CAD workstation from work) coming my way with a Xeon Silver 4210 in it that should more than outperform my current PC, at least as far as the CPU performance goes, and of not there is space to put another CPU in and (in theory) up to 384GB of RAM (never going to go that high, no need). I will need to check that I can run a decent gfx card in it, the power setup is a little different with everything running through the motherboard. If not, it should be worth enough to sell on and get some good upgrades along the lines if what has been posted here.
@@Almightyrastuswanted to let u know… I had a r5 2600x paired with a 5700xt and it was great, so when the 6800xt came out, I grabbed one refurbished for $280.. well the fps went from 160-180fps max settings… to 250+fps. Oh and that’s with Sam enabled. Mobo is a b450. Lol and now, I think besides going to a 5600x… that system will never have an issue. It’s also for my kid, so he plays lots of Fortnite and gta5 on it, says it does awesome. Best of luck out there dude
7800xt seems to be a good sweet spot for all games. While 4070 seems to be better performance to fidelity wise, 7800xt has better performance by the dollar with a better driver overhead to boot. DLSS 3.5 and FSR 3 are also really good upscalers with incredible performance boosts. Would recommend one over the other depending the CPU though for less bottlenecking
This video helps out a lot. I am currently on Ryzen 5 3600 and was thinking about upgrading it to 5800X3D. This processor gives me the vibes of my old overclocked i5 2500K which suprisingly I used for far, far too long. It was a really good processor
I overclocked a i5-650, a 1 gen intel chip. Took two 5770 gpus in a crossfire cfg and ran it for years. Just now bought a Ryzen R9 7900x with a 6700xt. I needed to upgrade .
Great video Jason! I never believed in the over buy your CPU "future proof" concept. It would be awesome if you filmed a step by step build guide for the budget an mid-tier PC's. It would be a huge benefit to new builders.
We've already got you! We got build guide galore for 5600, 12100, and theres a 5500 in our latest Best Build for June video. See the "builds and parts" list in the description for all of them
@@PCBuilderChannel Maybe it's just me, but I'm having a hard time finding the "build guides" that you mentioned would be in the description. I'm not seeing anything listed as a "builds and parts" list in the description, either.
Absolutely awesome videos, your videos are amazingly information dense. I have to go back and rewind many times while taking notes. I was really into PC's building and specs years ago and have been out of the loop for years. I have learned a ton in a very short period of time. Thank you
This was such an amazing video. You shared an abundance of knowledge and guided through each price category in such a detailed manner. I was about to make a mistake while getting the parts for my first pc build, but thanks to your guide, I'll have a rather easy time selecting the components. Thank you so much.
What would be the issue with pairing a 7800xt with a 7800X3D? I’d like to build a PC now and buy the 7900xtx when it falls in price with the next generation release. For now just building the PC to be overbuilt with the 7800xt for now to save the $450.
I've never been one to shell out for the "top" performance available at any given time. So for me it has proven more economical to err on the side of a better CPU over GPU. Been building my own PCs since the 1990s and it has proven pretty reliable that a CPU/MOBO combo will last 5-6 years with one, and possibly two GPU upgrades along with it. That second GPU upgrade often ending up transferred to the next CPU upgrade. The other advantage to this approach is it spreads out the expenses more evenly over time.
You don't shell out on the "top" performance because you want to be economical lol. That's ridiculous. You do it because you want to be able to run anything on maximum. That's it.
I agree with you on future proofing cpu/gpu. If you find yourself down this trap you got to ask yourself if you really will do a single component upgrade in a year or two. Most people don't, they just use the system as is until other limitations start becoming an issue for them, and at that point they'll look at doing an entire system again because everything at that point is old tech and its time to look at the system as a whole, hopefully without falling into the future proofing trap once again.
Totally understand that thinking. I've been keeping up with rebuilds on my current rig for over 10 years now (chuckles). One or two fans here, a cpu there, a new psu, a new heat sink, a new motherboard, updated RAM, header splitters to add new radio tech and keep my DVD/CD devices running, not to mention new M.2, SSDs and HDDs to handle all my games, videos and music (6 drives and one external). The tower case is getting crowded LOL.
I have a 4070ti and a 5600x. I've been thinking of getting a 5800x3d for gaming but the 7800x3d seems really interesting. But that would require a whole pc overhaul.
Hi i am planning to get the new rx 7800 xt soon but my cpu is r5 5600 for ultrawide 1440 gaming is that a fine combo for now ? Or will have issues ? Pls answer me asap. Great video btw 👍
Went a bit overboard with my latest upgrade and switched to a 4090 in combination with a 7800x3d, B650 mb and DDR-5 6000Mhz ram (16x2). The total cost was around $1530 after selling my previous parts ( CPU, GPU, MB, RAM). I feel these specs should be good for at least 5 years (gaming at 1440p/2160p at 165 fps).
5950X and 6950XT. Took me a while to be able to afford both but now I have and very happy with the result. Amazing combo both for gaming and productivity. I won't be upgrading to new AMD platform for a long while yet.
I am rocking an i7-13700 and a 4070 Ti, but on DDR4, it's a bit pointless for me to update to DDR5 as of yet, but I do feel like it'll be a huge upgrade to the overall stability of the system. Maybe once the B760 boards fall in price a bit more I'll make the switch, but I am overall happy with what I have. Not going to go for a Z-type board as the CPU can't be overclocked anyway. Regardless, great video and keep up the good work!
I was thinking about the same for the RAM but next gen will be totally DDR5, that means next time you upgrade you'll need to change ram, motherboard that support that ddr5 and ofc the cpu. In some months i'm flying to usa to get me that i7, a 4080 and some ddr5 6000mhz and just forget about it for a couple of years.
I think if you have to have Nvidia for Blender purposes then thats fine. If gaming, I'd recommend looking at alternatives or waiting for the super series to pair with that CPU
Great watch👍 This series was invaluable to me building my 5600/6700XT build in January 2023🤩 Your advice from last year has aged really well as new options just aren't compelling in price/performance and the step up to a used Sapphire Nitro 6700XT has come in clutch with the 12GB of VRAM. Also gotta shout-out the power supply tier list you reference, got me a great Cooler Master 650 V2 on sale because of that. Cheers!
That's a very interesting and informative video, thank you. I'm sticking to AM4 for a while, so the 5700X is the one for me for the mid to high end range. Due to my 75Hz 1080p monitor, I'm going for the 6600XT right now. Might get the 700+ version of the 8000 AMD GPU generation or its NVidia/Intel equivalent since a 1440p 120+Hz monitor is too expensive for me today. I gues we don't talk enough about "monitor bottleneck" haha All things considered, might not move to AM5 DDR5 chipset for good years, probably until it gets reasonably cheaper as DDR4 did in the past compared to its previous generation.
thing is good ones usually either big sized, high reso, or high refresh rate as for quality its rather hard since best situation would be seeing/ watching your usual contents with the preferred leds, some shops at e-malls usually do this, some dont
@@PCBuilderChannel Haha thanks! Im currently building a pc and have all the parts besides the fans, so this definitely helped! If you want to know the parts, just comment back! :D
Great video! Recently got myself a Ryzen 5600 and a RX 6600 XT for 1080p gaming, and so far it has been working pretty well. I just wanted to add that the Wraith Stealth that comes whit the Ryzen 5600 is not good at all. Tried it for a bit and was getting temps close to 90 C while gaming, the good thing is that a cheap Gammaxx 400 v2 solved that problem.
I'm looking to use my PC not only for gaming but also for editing tasks. With a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, do you think this setup would be capable of handling both gaming and editing smoothly? People say its good for editing but not good for gaming. For most games i get 200-290 FPS such as CS2 and Fortnite. I built my pc with my dad a around late 2022 or maybe early 2023. Im looking to upgrade but I dont have the money and my dad is a bit stubborn. If i get around to it, do you have any good cheap recommendations? and which part should i upgrade my cpu or gpu? I also stream and record a lot, my fps seems to lower a bit which i know is natural but how much is too much? I am also using it for homeschool for the time being.
Great video, as always! Got a question.... what would you recommend me to upgrade to? Ive got a ryzen 5900 cpu and a rtx 2070 super. Pc is mainly used for gaming (mmorps) and productivity (streams, adobe premiere etc)

I upgraded my 2019 AM4 2600X/5600XT 1080p build to a 5700X/6700XT 1080p/1440p build. The Sapphire Nitro+, $579 MSRP, was $250 free shipping a year used and the 5700X was $117 free shipping used. For $390 after tax I will get 3 or more years out of this 4 year old AM4 platform for a total of 8 years of quality gaming under $1000 total. How much is a 7900XTX again?

I just built my first PC, upgraded from a Lenovo Legion I bought in 2018. I paired a 7800x3d and GeForce 4070 super and have had zero complaints thus far. I got a really good deal on the 4070 super on Newegg, and through my research people have been saying that the 7800x3d would be more than capable of handling a GPU upgrade at some point. Curious about more experienced builders opinions though.
I'm so confused lol I'm wanting to build a PC for video rendering with Vegas Pro and I have no idea which CPU to get. I've heard Ryzen is definitely the best for Vegas but I don't have a clue what the best one is as there's so many and it's all confusing lol I just want my videos to render fast without glitches, which when I render with NVENC (faster) i tend to get glitches as opposed to when I render with the one that doesn't have NVENC im brackets (slower but renders fine). I render mainly in 4K at the moment too.
I’m further in my career now I feel like getting a gaming pc but in particular don’t have a budget just want the most value. What would be the price range?
I currently have.. CPU - i3 10105f Motherboard - H510 GPU - RX6600 Ram - 8x2 16GB 3200mhz What should I upgrade next in the future? Still gonna do 1080p gaming and some editing work.
what would you say about, Intel Core i7-11700K, ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING, and upgrading my Zotac RTX 3070 to an asus rog strix 4070 TI OC, was this a good choice for VR gaming msfs 202 with a reverb g2 !?
hello what would you think of a RX7800XT 16GB and a AMD RYZEN 5 7600X, 32GB DDR5 system ram combo for 1440P gaming? As your recommendation in the video, 7600X would be unnecessary high for RX7800XT?
I own an i5 11600k/Asrock H570 Steel Legend/32GB,3200Mhz DDR4/ Gigabyte RTX 2060 Super Gaming OC 8 Gb combo and a 1440p,144Hz monitor. Im wandering, would it worth to upgrade the gpu to an Arc A770 16GB version? Games im interested in: Cyberpunk 2077+Phantom Liberty, Starfield, Baldur’s gate 3 in 1440p high graphic setting
I have an RTX 3090 and an i9 10th gen. I’m looking to upgrade my CPU/Mobo/RAM to newer hardware. What would be best option for max performance in gaming?
i7 13700k and Radeon 7900 XT be a good combo? I think it is, and i'll have 64GB RAM for it. Now I'm just trying to figure out what cooler I'm going to put on the CPU. I also don't want to use watercooled. I'm leaning towards a deepcool ak620. I'm using an Asus ROG Maximus z790 hero motherboard. I just need to know or check to see if the cooler it will fit. OR if i should finally start using a watercooler. I tend to not go watercooled because I'm afraid of a malfunction and the water destroying my PC.
What GPU for a 11600k and 4k gaming? No need to play the heaviest titles on max. Got the budget to upgrade my full system, but then again, got a baby on the way and will be happy with the GPU alone (with psu). Don't mind some bottlenecking, and wondering if 7900xt/xtx would get diminishing returns over a 7800xt or 6950xt. All of these 4 options have fairly good pricing in my region.
I just got an NZXT player 3 Prime. Has a 4090 GPU and an i9 13900kf told my friend and he said I’m gonna have some insane bottlenecking because my GPU will way out perform my cpu. I was confused because there’s only one cpu better than the one I got… is he right?
So. As i've to do a laptop (for travel, no choice). I gonna take a: I core 7 13700h Rtx 4080 32go ram. Seems balanced? I will take an external cooling system.
I’m new to PC building and I got a mostly complete rig from a buddy of mine. I have an RTX 3070 and probably won’t be upgrading it for the foreseeable future. Which CPU + MOBO combo would you absolutely recommend for it? I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on the 3070 but I’m getting a lot of mixed signals. (I intend to play at 1440p + min 75/80fps on graphically intensive games).
I’m upgrading my pc. I already installed a 5700xt oc GPU last year. Now, I bought a ryzen 9 5000series am4, asus TUF x570plus, and 64gb Corsair Veng LPX. Before I install, is that a good combo?
Maybe this is a lot to ask but I don't understand what the wifi is on motherboards? do they come with wifi, I have an ethernet cable so I don't need to buy one with Wifi, right? will it save me money to buy one without wifi?
