5 PC Parts You Should AVOID Buying… ❌

[George-umvc]

Warning: do NOT buy a ASUS TUF ATX 3.0 PSU shown in this video, they all have a manufacturing defect where the fan will spin at 100% at nonsensical times, trust me I have been through two of these and everyone online reports the same, STAY AWAY FROM ALL ASUS TUF ATX 3.0 PSUs!!!’

[Mr.Anthony]

On Psu should watch on Psu cultist tier list Don't go below tier C

[yellowstrider]

NEVER cheap out on the psu, because that could be the difference between your build working or it blowing up

[piratado]

The Define series deserves some respect. There are not a lot of cases come that are as solidly built & with as many features as they do.

My parents got me a Rtx 4060ti 16gb as I have a disease so I’m happy with it tbf

[Moogprodigy-fenm]

The fractal design case slander is insane

[OctagonalSquare]

For AM5, you definitely don’t need x870. The only upgrade is it adds a single USB 4.0 header

[StevenFeb]

Funny thing is the fractal case you have pictured front center has really good airflow

[unbreakabull]

Feel like 750W is where it’s at, gives you headroom to upgrade to better components

[longbow]

It should be noted that for RAM, this only applies to desktop sticks. For a notebook upgrade, the absolute minimum latency for DDR5 (at least from what I've found) is around 38 ns.
Edit: even for desktop sticks, the capacity makes a difference: a higher capacity will automatically have a higher minimum latency. A 16 GB stick can start at a CL of 28, and a 32 GB starts at 30. But if you have your eye on a certain model, before making any decision, you need to check it against the QVL for compatibility, which can be found on the motherboard website.

I always recommend at least 850w incase for upgrade paths when you eventually get a stronger gpu/cpu.

I upgraded for rtx 2070 to a 4060 ti about a year ago and my computer runs really good. I have a i9 9900k 64gb of ram and i play on a 144hz 1440p monitor. I get pretty decent fps all around

[BlueScreenCorp]

The fractal XL case has fully open top and bottom vents, with all intakes filtered, the front is a little restricted but those front vents are very wide and the mesh filter is on the inside and not at those vents on the front. I have no idea how anyone would describe that case as having crap airflow

[zackphy]

Don't even really need to overclock anymore, undervolting usually provides much more benefit, especially on power-hungry chips that are prone to thermal throttling.

[alfinshidqi]

I want an X670E not just for overclocking. But also the option to have 3-4 M.2 and alot more stuff.

[Chris-opyt]

bought an 9070 xt and not happy. downclocks like crazy and no way to prevent it. making older games perform like crap

[pelly]

the 2 things i would say you never cheap out on is power supply and cooling

[realmenhavelittledogs]

Don't skimp, get the 486. DOSSHELL runs flawlessly and Zork is a beast on a green monochrome screen

[wenboquan]

When you buy things — not just PC parts — trust yourself and get what you actually need.

[chroment]

do not buy your PSU just off the 80+ or Cybernetics rating, they rate nothing but efficiency. use the PSU tier list from SPL instead
