i have a 7800XT and a 5700X3d in my pc, and let me tell you, it's nice being able to run all the games i play at 1440p max settings and get 100+ FPS in all of the games i usually play while having something i can also use for video editing in 1440p.

Very interesting this showed up when I'm considering a new pc

i got a 5700g + 6700xt + 32gb ddr4 3200mhz ram for $800 ($792).... i never understood buying a cpu without an igpu cause thats what ive been using during the mining craze and it served me well.... now i just have it at a second monitor for movies, animes and music while i game on my main monitor which is a 6700xt

Great content! Could you do a video about monitors and displays?

1440p resolution is the ideal balanced setup for hard-core PC gamers.

Mini-PCs with an AMD iGPU should cover casual gamer needs at 1080p resolution.

It's incredible how upgraded gaming PC's have come since years ago. My mom bought me a prebuilt in 2020/21 for $1.5k and it came with a GTX 1650 and an i7-10700F and then my brother bought a prebuilt a couple months ago for $1.1k with an i7-14700F and an RTX 4060. It still works pretty well though and can even run Black Myth: Wukong at 105-120 FPS on medium/low settings. I'm thinking of saving around $1.5k to build my first PC in 2026/2027.

bro I bought mine prebuilt for $1300 and I can only play at the lowest settings just to not have the game freak out

Great video i liked and sub. I have a intel i5 13600k and 32gb ddr4 ram 3600mhz dual channel and a RX 7900GRE and can run cyberpunk and the finals at 100-120fps with settings set to mostly high. I had a 1060 6gb then a 3060ti and this new card crushed both those gpu's i could only get about 70-90fps before upgrading at 1440p. Excited to see the new releases of cards next year and hoping to get a amd processor and ddr5 ram next if possible just costs alot of money

i regret buying my laptop from my school so much. 8gb ram, ryzen 5 7530u, no gpu. Its $1600 aud (around 1, 000 usd), It can barely run minecraft with optimization mods. I found a laptop thats $100 cheaper with an rtx 4060 and 32gb ram.

Thank you for your video. I am not sure if I want to build my pc yet. What I am trying to understand the difference between what you are saying, and I been told I need.

I want to get a gaming pc mainly to run flight simulator 2024. I want to be able to operate with full resolution, but I do not care if I see 100 fpm instead of 80. How long the picture is smooth.
So if I look at FS best performance pc, that will cost me around 2500$ if not more. But from what I understand, a $ 1500 or less pc should be enough.

I'm building my pc soon but can decide with gpu to get the 7809xt or 7900gre I will be paring it up with the r5 7600x is 7900grw worth the extra $60-$109

No matter what your spent pc gaming is 100% garbage.

All the highest rated games every year are on consoles.
Not PC.
