PC part picker showed me the wrong power wattage my rig required. I was getting unexpected game crashes. Went to the GPU manufacturer website and the min wattage requirements were higher than what was on my rig. So I bought a higher wattage (and grade) PSU and issues were solved. Moral of the story: check your manufacturer website for specs and compatibility. You might get away with PC part picker or the like, but you might run into trouble like I did so always double check.
PS. The HDMI cable goes to the graphics card, not the Mobo. Beginner's mistake.

Great Video, i learned a lot of useful info!
I am currently trying to upgrade my older PC and i am wondering what is a good gpu to pair with the Intel Pentium G3260? (I aren't planing to play newer titles, mostly older games like skyrim and that kinda stuff)

just evaluating your video On How to choose a Graphics card for Beginners/ The most important thing to know about Gpu's.
Made it two 6 minutes on 2 times speed and no information of screen size of resolutions as these two primary pieces of information are truly what the Beginner person getting into a PC's/ gaming riggs have to base their builds on.
Think of someone's Grandparents that may have no idea about these machines and want to buy their kids or grandkids a super nice Christmas or birthday present or a graduating gift. I have an older friend that had a pretty decent gaming pc based on a 2080 that had great gaming experience with the monitor that was bought with his Pc, then his son bought him a super wide 4K display and the average frame rate in his games cratered to under 20fps, hardly a good gaming experience. then he stopped using his pc for gaming.
If I were to do an informational video on how to Choose a Graphics card for beginners, I would start with the display/ pixel resolution, what it means and leave out, bit coining, price jumping and supply chain shortages. My guess is you would have lost way too many real beginners' attention with your long drawn out video that failed to cover the basics of building a budget first time graphics card build/ creator machine and or gift in the first minute of your video.

Your mic is fine. It's a fine video.
I'm planning on upgrading my old system (i3 4150 with GTX 750TI) to i7 4790 with a GTX 1660s.
But I'm not so sure about it. Is it a good balance?
Can you give me some ideas?
I'm trying to get a good balance between the CPU and GPU.
(my monitor is 1080p 75hz)

I’m building my first pc and have no clue how to find a good Gpu that’s compatible with a GIGABYTE A620M GAMING X mother board and a AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600 cpu does anyone have any suggestions on a white Gpu or does anyone know if the PowerColor Hellhound Spectral White AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB GDDR6 Graphics Card is compatible or a good choice

[williamjoseph]

Hi, I want only 1080p gaming. Should I consider the number the cuda cores or the vram capacity of a mid range gpu.?

[clearsky]

Good video thank you for the helpful info

[strawhatwookie]

hey guys need some help - I just got the neo g9 57 inch and I dont know what gpu to get? Idk if to get the 3060 to tie me over until the 5000's come out

[remedy-]

I wanted to play in 1440p so I thought the 7800 xt was a good choice. I was also going to pair it with my i5 13600k. Anyone know if that’s a good choice ?

[enricosnipes]
