Just bought a 7900 GRE for an all-white build for my daughter. The price difference between it and a 7800 XT I was researching was only $10. Also going with the 7600x. I’m looking at the Pop Air Mini for a case and a Peerless Assassin SE RGB for cooling.
With exception of your case (mine is the King 95) this is my build. It is amazing . The build was £1040 here in Scotland. I did not need to get new M.2 as I just transferred my existing storage. My previous gpu was a 6700xt paired with a 5600x. At first I thought it would be a pointless cost but I recovered £800 selling my old rig with SSDs instead of M.2s I took out and actually only ended up £240 out of pocket. The performance difference is outstanding and noticeable right away. Of course swapping the monitor from my 1440p to a 4K changed how everything looked. Great shout for a 4K build and AMD has exceeded anything intel could do for building a real gaming rig at ultra settings and not breaking the budget. Of course heavy work load pc users that edit/stream while gaming would benefit from the 13 or 14 series intel chips. This is for gaming, not for wasting money on items you do not need.
Great video. Straight and simple. Congrats. After thinkering a lot with several builds i got to a similar one, its the best cost-performance with performance in mind.
How is 1440p performance? Im considering buying both exact cpu and gpu. But having doubts about gpu if its good for 1440p gaming. Please leave your 💡 thoughts
@@DoubleDrastik hard for me to say bro, since I don’t play 4k but it runs easily everything I throw at it with 130FPS everything Ultra. I’ve tried RDR 2 and The Witcher 3 and they look gorgeous. Never drop below 100fps. I would say 4K 60fps is achievable.
@@yakaboy89 hands down man. No problems at all with 1440p. Actually it feels like it’s an entry lvl for 4k. 1440p everything Ultra and the GPU goes 100% and 60° Celsius with AAA games. However I haven’t tried CyberPunk for example. And no RT. I don’t use it.
Thank you so much for designing and showing this. I really appreciate it. You showcase a really well configured system and you present it so well, with truly excellent filming. I wonder what a comparable Intel processor-based system would feature? Thank you for an outstanding video.
Nice setup, I like the CPU cooler. Had a comparable setup for a fried for 1300€. 7900GRE, 7600 (non-x) and asus tuf 650 (non-wifi). Had to take pre-build by vendor and windows-license into account, so I could not fit the 7600x in. Nonethe less, the AM5 platform is good for upgrading to latest CPU in 2026. You know, when AM6 comes out and the last AM5 needs to get sold.
Subbed, good info. My one solid suggestion is to go with the peerless assassin se (which also comes in black) for better cooling. If this was my budget (personal preference) I would have got the 7600 and used stock cooling, taking that extra money to upgrade to a better airflow case like the nzxt h6 flow. I might have also spent a little more on the mb since I would be anticipating at least one cpu upgrade in the future.
I have it paired with a 14700KF and it flies. I get 100 fps avg in Cyberpunk at 1440p Ultra. VR performance is above what I got on a 3090, and AV1 in virtual desktop is extremely good. Overall an amazing gpu, very cold and I got it in white (Sapphire Pure).

I am planning to upgrade my PC overall and am planning for a build to support 4K gaming. Currently using a RTX 3050 mini ITX 8GB which I had bought 2 years back. Primary purpose of pc: AAA Story driven Gaming, Video Editing for RU-vid, Programming with Visual Studio/other softwares and watching movies. Kindly suggest.
32GB is a tad low these days if you run a few more things (Chome on the side swallows 3-4GB by default, Discord likes 700MB, Steam and Epic another 1GB, recording gameplay, etc) and it adds up. 64GB is a lot right away so now we have the middle ground of 48GB, it makes sense to me.
@@killkiss_son Some games will need 32GB of ram for highest settings or large maps already, like Star Citizen, Spider-Man Remastered, Anno 1800, Cities: Skylines. But the ones I play are DCS (if I play a very high res detailed model it breezes past the 32), Endless Space 2 with large galaxies, ArmA 3. Also I edit videos so more ram more better.
@@jamegumb7298 I've never seen spider man remastered max out 32Gb, especially since it's a PS4 game originally, which only had 8 Gb. Also if you do editing or development on UE5 for example yeah, 32Gb may become a bottleneck but for 99.9% of games 32Gb is enough and even 16Gb is the recommended amount of RAM of 95% of games
I'm sure you already have an Intel and/or Nvidia build to compare this with. But yeah, I want to see more of these comparison budget build. We're all sick of high-end PC builds because that's what we almost hear and see from different pc builders. But this type of build is where the majority want to see.
Question about the CPU, I wanted to pair the 7 7800x3d with the 7900 gre in fear of getting cpu bottlenecked, but I was presented that 7600,7600x should be just fine. Can u run games+vids with the cpu hitting the max use?
my friend recomended a R9 7900 instead of the 7800X3D. (I dont inted to overclock the CPU) but it seems like the performance of the 9 7900 is a bit better then the 7800X3D. What do u think about this? @@TechTesters
@@Dave-wb6lm7900 is better if you want to game + have a lot of things in the background or are planning to do productivity things, otherwise if you only game 7800X3D is the obvious better choice
If use all China parts, can it be lower than 500 Euro? Will it last more than 10 years if use all China part including using the China motherboard? Like Xiaomi 14 in Europe, it starts from 999 Euro, but in China, Xiaomi 14 sells at a price of CNY 3,999, that is equal to 517.26 Euro. 🤔
Well Ma'am, can you rate my build, First time pc build (White Theme) 1. Ryzen 5 7600x. 2. Asrock Steel Legend or Sapphire Pure Rx 7900 Gre which one is best, price same. 3.

Well your videos are on top of the line.
@@TechTesters It's a Thermaltake bronze (from 2019). Thank you, I hope so. Otherwise I'm going to eat eggs for 1 month and change it for a better power supply 😅
It's just so funny that nowadays, you need at least 16GB RAM to have a smooth gameplay. 16GB was like the 4 GB five-ten years ago; and 32GB was like the 16GB.
Yo anyone can tell me if I should upgrade something or let it be like it is rn?: R7 2700x xfx rx 6700xt AM4 msi b450 gaming plus mb 16 gigs 2988 mhz aegis gskill 650 W psu gold I can play most AAA games on 1440p in @ 50-80 fps on high/ultra. I came from a rx580 and 1080p. Basically Idk if I should upgrade something or sell the whole pc, Thanks for your help ) 😅
I was thinking about this combo as well, and I've come to the conclusion it'd be best to save a little more to go up to the 7800x3D and a 4070 super. I also know for a fact some games I play don't work well with AMD GPUs, and would rather have nvidia drivers and DLSS than more VRAM
4070 memory bandwidth will bottleneck you at 4k. If you want an NVIDIA card and don't mind high power consumption buy a used 3090/3090Ti and you'll get much better performance and have more vram.
I would gohigher with the gpu. Like a 4070 ti or the 4070 ti super or the 4080 or the 4080 super or the 4090 of course. For amd the 7900xt or the 7900xtx. Look at comparisons on youtube. Also it depends on your budget.
Too bad that in a HUB review the Gigabyte motherboard was one of the worst performers, with thermals over 107c, may not be an issue with the 7600x. The gigantic gpu is just insane to me.
Over here the 7600 was only 10 eur cheaper, while the first motherboard upgrade was about 40-45 euros more expensive. But depending on prices in your region that is something worth considering.
Don't buy unoptimized games or if you do buy unoptimized games wait 6 months to 1 year for patches. Yes I know you shouldn't have to do that but that is the gaming industry. For example I bought dragons dogma 2 and I will wait for patches after several months and more mods anyway. I also have a huge backlog like many other pc gamers.
To be fair now days it's in any resselution tbhno GPU can be 1440p ether or 1080p for that matter but it's not the GPU fault ofc it's companies that don't optimize games look at dragons dogma 2 it runs bad no matter the resselution
I really love these kinds of videos that demonstrate you don't need to spend a lot to get good performance. I'd love to see more in other budget ranges ❤
...but the prices ain't real. In special youtuber land getting preferential treatment they might be. Not in the real europe citizen. Also improperly built with the underpowered psu.
@@ElGoogKO These prices are pretty accurate in the USA, not sure about Europe. I picked up my 7900 GRE for only $530 and a 7800x3d at only $330 in a game bundle.
@@ElGoogKO In what world is a 650W power supply "underpowered" for (worst-case scenario) 290W GPU and 100W CPU? And the prices are pretty normal. You're just being salty for no reason whatsoever. Turn off the PC and go watch the sunrise.
Nice build! I built mine for 1500€ with the 4070ti super and 5800x3d instead. Still only use it for 1440p so that it'll last longer without needing upgrades.
The 7900GRE is available for 510 EUR delivered in NL right now. Waiting for mine to arrive. Absolute no-brainer. (sorry if this is a dupe, my post vanished, youtube mangling stuff again)
@@debieharry my post will be deleted if I include the url. it was posted on a big dutch deal site yesterday, the salt and ______ (english spelling). although the price on the retailers site is now higher, apparently it keeps fluctuating.
I'm loving the clean, all Cooler Master and all black build there! 👌I'm rocking an all CM build myself including KB+M and monitor. Can't complain about any of your choices. It's making me a little jealous though! :D
This tech channel does a great job at communication. We're delivered a ton of info but its in the form of like a friend talking to a friend. I also appreciate how much you actually USE the things you talk about too.
Thanks for the video. If the next gen AMD graphics cards are more efficient, I will consider buying one. But, i returned an RX 7800 XT and kept the RTX 4070 Super. The 7800 XT was pulling 50-55 watts more than the 4070 S and about 20-25 less fps than the 4070 S. On a 3440x1440 monitor, in No Man’s Sky. I may try the RX 7900 GRE after all. It has a lower TDP than the Sapphire Nitro+ 7800 XT model i had. And i am rebuilding my Ryzen 7 7800X3D computer that had a motherboard issue. I had the 7800 XT on an intel PC that uses more power, so that skews the results.
First of, nice calculation on the PSU. I ve seen many people put 1000watt PSU for total power more than 800watt system. That is more than 80% of the max power of the PSU can deliver. I dont think thats a wise decision. 1.2k usd and 1.3k euro, i thought the value of euro finally got lower than usd (is that the case?). But i guess you were talking about two different markets, right? (that table is not just money conversion) But dang, why the pc market in europe is so expensive? :O And again, i thought when the thumbnail said "budget", it meant total money under a grand. Where im from, i can live with 300 bucks for a month, you know. I would love to see the comparison performances if you swap the proc to ryzen 7800x3d or 7700 but with other gpu like rx 7800, 7700 or even the rtx one (specially cheaper gpu).
I rather spend more money on a proper HDR1000 monitor than a GPU with more ray tracing performance. I think that HDR is more evocative and brings more realism than ray tracing
I built my gaming PC in autum 2023 and the difference is signifcant: For the price I got a Ryzen 7600 and RX 7800 XT and could now get better parts (7600X and 7900 GRE)! I spent ~ 1600 € though but that's because I splurged a bit on case, CPU cooler, fans, and PSU.
recently built a system almost identical to this for a friend but with a 7700x. lucked out on a few deals and it ended up being just under $1200 (before tax). with a quick tune that GRE is a fantastic card for the money; I've been using a 3080ti personally for a while but I might go amd next gen after messing around with it and seeing the value on this build. great video!
I recently bought the Sapphire RX 7900 GRE after using RX 6700 XT for four years. My RX 6700 XT got hit by lightning strike. So you all know, you look at those fancy videos showing 200 - 350 FPS on the GRE and you think you are going to get that. Let me tell you I am right at the same place as my RX 6700 XT in terms of setup. Why. Sure, you buy a Corvette and you are going to drive it at top speed of 196 mph every day. Right. Well video cards are much the same way. To avoid a heat run up, bottlenecking my 5600X CPU, and fans sounding like my computer is going to take off, I cap my RX 7900 GRE right at 150 fps through AMD Adrenalin software. The average comes to about 100 FPS with 1440p res, which I find totally adequate in heavy gaming in Battlefield 2024. I ended up nearly exactly the same settings as the RX 6700 XT. I had to cap settings on the 6700 also to keep the junction temperature of the graphics card in the 70c - 80c level. Else the temps ran right up to 110c the first couple times I used the 6700. So why did I spend $ 560 on a RX 7900 GRE. With the settings I have, I could of bought much "cheaper" graphics cards that would not overheat. But the one benefit I noticed with the 7900 GRE is that my FPS lows are higher and more stable. With these settings my grahic card is running at about 60% and CPU 60 - 80 %. My system Windows 11 1200w Black Box power supply AMD 5600X CPU Corsair Vengeance 3200 LPX ram 32gb (set at 3200mhz through BIOS AMD RX 7900 GRE Graphics Card Tower Fan CPU Air Cooler - Single Fan AsRock Phantom Gaming 4 ac motherboard (built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - I love the Bluetooth for file transfer) Acer Nitro 27" 180mhz monitor. ViewSonic 22" 60mhz secondary monitor Harman Kardon speakers. Sama Computer Case - 5 case fans + CPU + (2) Graphics Card - This case has two positions for two side panel fans right over the graphics card and CPU cooler
I just did a similar build using the 7900 GRE, where I used a bundle from MicroCenter which had the 7700x CPU, MSI motherboard, and 32gb of memory. The bundle was only $399, so a great place to start if you are looking to build a new PC.
