Good info as always but I'd like to make a few small suggestions. As you did with Alexander's, please mention warranty terms / cost. It can make a big difference from SI to SI. Also, if shipping is additional or included. The SI I have used on my last two builds does not charge extra for shipping or sales tax but does for upgraded 3 year parts & labor with lifetime tech support. These do impact the bottom line. Much appreciated! Keep up the great work!
Been looking around for a good, if not decent gaming computer. Even though it’s going to take a very long time to save up for one. At least your videos will help narrow down which places to search from and all that.
just built a 2tb 7800x3d with a 7900xt on i buy power for $2k on the dot. shipped out today, very excited for my first (besides the rog ally, which opened my eyes to PC gaming) rig! also copped a Samsung 240 hz 1440 p monitor. no more 30 frames!!
Hey Braethorn, I recently came across your video and absolutely loved the information you provided. I am currently working on building my first custom PC after using a gifted one for years and gradually upgrading it. The old PC has reached a point where it's more practical to buy a new one and potentially repurpose the old parts later. Thanks to your video, I learned about iBuyPower and managed to find an amazing discount. However, I wanted to let you know that your discount code for the website did not work.
I became a fan of the channel through researching some other companies (good and bad) and appreciated your honesty and focus on the consumers. I just went with Alexander PCs based on all the good information you've shared about that company, and it was an easy choice. I could have made a grave mistake, and gone with a company like Apex, and I'm so glad I didn't 😂
I'm really liking the Power Prestige from PowerPGU. With an Intel-i7-14700k and an nVidia RTX4080 Super, it comes out to almost $2,900. Is that worth the money or could I get more bang for my buck sacrificing aesthetics for something just as quiet and powerful?
I’m trying to get into my first pc mostly just for gaming and a little bit of video editing. I have around 1.5k what would be my best choice ? Thank you
In the CPU wait game. Got the i7-12700k right now with 64GB CL16 3600 ddr4 ram and a 4090. So if I upgrade itd have to be a 14700k and at that point why keep ddr4. I either wait for 15th gen intel or make the switch over to AM5. Either way Ive gotta udate to ddr5
@@braethorn Thanks for the heads up! i didn't realize it was happening so soon. How much longer do you think it might be before Power begins to offer PC's that reflect the upcoming releases? Thanks neighbor
I currently have 1447$ and I in no way trust myself to build a pc and I’ve heard that apex gaming pcs suck that’s about all I know. I’m looking for a good gaming pc that had decent storage and can handle a bit of tomfoolery. Can someone please help me with finding something good because I’m quite frankly lost
I give one on one help during my streams for free, but it can take a while for your turn to come up if you join the wait list. I've been encouraged to start doing consultations off stream. Drop me a line at the email listed in my about section if you're interested.
I get that a 7950x is better than a 7950x3d cpu for content creation but how much is the disparity if you have a x3d and wanna do content creation?! Is it just slower or u can’t run as many apps as the 7950x?!
The 7950X3D is still great for content creation. Core parking complicates things. Besides that, the 8 cores with 3D v-cache run at lower frequency due to thermal limitations. It's just simpler to get a 7950X for a multi-purpose PC, but both are great.
@@braethorn unfortunately the IBP PC that I specifically wanted that you picked out in one of your videos where you show us great options doesn’t have the 7950x it has the 7900x3D! The model that I’m speaking on is the Y40RG201! RDY system
Can someone link me a gaming pc + a monitor that will fit with it well that can run fortnite, roblox, vrchat games like that Etc? I’m not really trying to spend 1000+ but lmk I might
