haven't built a pc in over 20 years... seriously, not since the first gen release of the I3 530. I was still stuck on the preconceived notion of intel + asus motherboard > *. lol.. things have changed soo much. this video helped a lot.

[SurfRlyeh]

I know this is months late, but with the absolute torrent of SKUs and the eternal pc pursuit of holy benchmarks, this is the type of info so many of us need.

To hell with internet points, it's nice to have a solid workhorse that just runs nicely efficient and fast. Someone's cutting onions, I was just thinking of a fantastic pc that put in its time and gave up the ghost a couple of weeks ago. o7 😢 😊

watched this vid 5 times always nice to see the reason i built my new pc thanks man i cant wait till you make 100k subs

[OfficialRedTeamReview]

Going to upgrade my rig soon: Debating on if I should go from a 7700 to the latest Intel with a 3060 🤔

[ramadolman]

Love this guys voice! 😂 doing a similar build. Hope the motherboard here doesn’t have Coil whine.

[alanfkai]

Growing so fast! Proud of you CJ, keep up the great work!

[garryconnors]

Good balance, good price, good performance. Great build Bro!

The 6750XT is quite a bit better than the 3070 when you consider that it also comes with 4GB more vram at the same price point. 8GB is an embarrassment for how powerful the GPU core is in the 3070 and 3070 ti

[AndersHass]

I do wonder if you can save power by using integrated graphics while not doing GPU intensive tasks. I know there is on laptops with RDNA 2.

[chrisbeleon]

I went with the sapphire 6750xt instead with the colors I did go with ryzen 7 7700

[jeffenad]

I would go for Gigabyte B650M Gaming X AX for more connectivity, especially Type-c in rear and front and a bit cheaper in my country, and same CPU R5 7600X but non-x is bit cheaper. For DDR5, I would go for Kingston Fury Beast 16GB (8GBx2) at 5200MHz. And for the case, I will go for InWin A3 or A5, A3 for a bit compact than AP201 while A5 is compact ATX and bit taller than A3.
Anyway, I would like to know what "entry-level" for Intel. The problem is the longevity of their lineup, only 2 gen.

[smudlicko]

I have 3060ti strix and a770le and I believe it will be ok till 2025 with 1440p 60hz monitor

[Rancid_Ninja]

Not sure about you GPU choice, I have a 6700xt and I already want an upgrade and I'm only running 1080p 144hz

[kamata]

A few things I would change:

7700 non X
Fractal North or Hyte Y40
Good quality Air Cooler

Rest is on spot, though maybe I would make a slight change with the SSD. 500 GB Nvme primary SSD for OS and software and any 1TB SSD for storage. I think this is the optimal gaming PC for 80-85% of the gamers out there.

Edit: I would go with similar fully modular Seasonic PSU. Should be around the same price.

[Rarefied_]

How can I get this but without having to assemble it myself? Is there something out there on the market that's close enough?

[arch]

Nice video ! Bro i'm thinking upgrade my 9600kf to an ryzen 5700x, what you think, its worth It?, 7600x and MB here is more than 2x price of 5700x with b550m

[raiiiyann]

What other GPU fits in this case? 4070Super, 7900GRE and 7900XT? Will these fit? Waiting for my parts. But I haven't ordered GPU yet

[DTech]

This is definitely a late comment, but I want to build my first PC and I have so far bought a Fractal Pop Air (white) and an AK620 WH cooler. Would this board be okay in the ATX case or is there another board you’d recommend at a similar price?

[PankajTayade]

R5 7600 can i use with this build the intel arc a750 gpu there is any problem for this build....?

[nelsonbutcher]

Imo you overspent on the SSD and underspent on the GPU. Get a $100 gen 3 SSD and an rx6800.
