What do you guys thing of this build? I was actually kind of surprised to fit an RX 7700 XT in to this build, and impressed at how much this GPU has fallen in price! Maybe good value gaming is finally... back? 👀

@christianmino3753 2 ай бұрын

Disclaimer, I say this with love and respect to all you do. The price to performance ratio is way off. Micro center has a pretty consistent deal on a bundle for the past few months. It's $250 for an i5 12600k, a Z690 AND 16GB of DDR4. you can always throw another 16GB in the future, and the ram they choose isn't hard to find (always use a matching kit, the amount of issues I have seen that seem un related to that issue when it really is the culprit is way too much and you want XMP to work properly too) and while it's not DDR5, the difference between the two is minimal when gaming on such a high end set up. talking 2-10 fps with a 260 fps average in the e sports titles lol. You can get a decent power supply for $50, take your choice of whichever one you like, 2TB Gen 4 NVME can be found for $100 case for $100 RX 7900 GRE $550 ID coolings $20 special air cooler works GREAT that's $1170 before tax, and if it's too over budget, go with a smaller SSD or an RX 7800XT but either way the performance is going to do MUCH better than this build for the same price even if you were to use something like an RX 6800xt as the GPU to bring the price down. The finished build would be something like i5-12600k MSI Z690 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz 2TB Gen 3 NVME RX 7900 GRE/RTX4070XX (or even RX 7800XT or a 6800XT to save money, and would still beat the 7700XT by A LOT) Case of Choice 600 Watt PSU of choice ID cooling cooler/thermalrite Assasin Once again, much love and respect but this build is sick and you can count on the micro center bundle to be there until this rig is no longer relevant. That and the performance between the i5-12600k and the i5-14400f is really similar, and the Z690 will allow you to OC the 12600k or any "K" CPU from intel in the future, keeping this build relevant for even longer.

I like your content. It’s great to see a British content producer instead of LTT and JTC (both of which I like). But it’s frustrating that American stores (like NewEgg) are the go to and that prices are in $$$ instead of £££. There are UK based stores like Scan and Ebuyer. I get that the wider market is US but surely there’s a space for both in content instead of default US?! 🤷‍♂️

Intel 5 14400f, MSI B760M gaming plus wifi, T-Force delta RGB ddr5 (32gb), crucial p3 plus 1tb (unless you need more), Cooler Master Q300L v2 case, Corsair CX650, Rx 7700 XT or 4060ti if you want nvidia.
