PC Centric pls can you do a video of building an am4 budget friendly gaming pc.
I kinda want to see u build a budget friendly but good gaming pc😅
So glad that I changed from Xbox to pc just before the price nonsense of ram. £1700 and my system has a 7800x3D and a 5070ti OC.
First cable i put in after motherboard is always cpu. Makes life so much easier
Does that include the £1000 for the 8gh RAM?
33:47 You’re dang right I didn’t understand that. 😂
I'd like to ask, is 32GB of RAM currently sufficient for playing 3A games and editing videos in 2026-2027 or UP 64GB ? (because RAM prices are very high)?
25:25 meh i can see that late artifact productions
Man I am glad I pulled the trigger on getting everything for my build during cyber monday. I put together a rig with a 9900x and 5070TI for this budget. $2029 to be exact. The price of the exact same build today just a couple weeks later is $2670. Absolute madness.
Good to see you not hiding mistakes
Can anybody help me with my sons pc…firstly when he booted it up first time it wouldnt let him pic united kingdom english to continue it kept spinning and not going to the next step….he eventually managed to setup but then noticed half his windows is spanish but all language settings its united kingdom english.
Also his wifi is shocking…ethernet…perfect…wifi its pulling 6mb…all drivers upto date etc…
Now whats odd is he got 2 identical pc towers…the shows no issues at all…pulls his full wifi connection etc im lost right now. These was both brand new
I hot the 5070 gaming trio the other day. Pc works fine without it when plugged into the Motherboard but when I install the gpu I get no display and my wireless keyboard and mouse dont work.
Ive literally paused my pc build, I've got all the parts to other than ddr5 ram. So expensive. PC centric, do you have any spare laying around would be helpful haha
i made nearly the same build with a 9800x3d for $1650ish just a month and a half ago…. oh ram prices
For the same price you can get a 7800x3d and a 9070 xt even with ram being like 430€, this is terrible budget spending and just a sponsor for be quiet
Bro please I really need your help. I’m short about $400 to finally build my work PC.
Do you think you could help me out with this one!
my build lol. i got this for 1600 on bf deal. how lucky am i lol
This won't just backfire on people looking to upgrade or build a PC from scratch, this affects the entire PC Gaming industry. Manufacturers keep producing parts but people just won't buy them because you can't justify shilling 400 of whatever your currency on 2 sticks of RAM. For example I already own a very good rig for 3 years now, 5800X3D/3080 12gb/32gb RAM, but I'm just moving to a new home and was thinking about building a dedicated PC just to hookup to my TV and because of this I'm out, and I know plenty of more people in this situation.
540quid for a 5070? I paid the same for a 9070xt 3 weeks ago. Paid 1460 for a 7800x3d, 32gb ram, 9070 xt, sapphire pulse b850, 2TB M.2, 850w PSU lian li 216. You would have to be mental to pay 2k for that spec.
30:55 6 7!!!
So glad i bought ram a couple of months ago, due to that managed to get a 5080/ 7800X3D build under 2000 pounds
Bro keeps saying ultimate when it's really not lol.
What would you recommend for a decent cpu for both 1440p gaming ans some multitasking like running Protools etc Also fun fact, i nearly bought a 64GB kit of RAM back at the start and i thought il wait another month and guess what, all this madness started so im kicking myself
$1900 on ram and $100 on components.
I made the same with 9070xt 7 months back , glad i didn’t wait
if you really hunt for deals, and have microcenters nearby. A 9700x+5080 build could fit under $2000(pre tax). Bundle at microcenter for 9700x, 32gb ram and b650 is $600, gpu $1000 5080 fe still in stock. A cheap 360 cooler for less than $50. B tier 850w PSU for $80, a budget case for $80 and a 1tb ssd for $100. You'd still have a few bucks to spare for RGB fans if you like. Or if you don't want dlss, a 9070 xt build would be around $1600 this way.
This would have been a 1300-1500 pc
Desperate times for the PC gaming hardware industry. Sales have cratered as a consequence of the RAM price fiasco.
