Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Anyone else convinced that the 5080 is better as a 1440p card than being 4k?
The positioning of the PSU in that particular case is extraordinarily illogical. I am no Vulcan, but that is some very bad engineering right there. Otherwise – good content, as usual:)
Could we maybe get an in-depth video on wiring I'm confident on the building part it's just the wiring I'm bricking it at
What is going on with your colour co ordination lately?. Is it down to the stress .
how kind of you to gift thus pc to me centric
Why this processor ?
I built my dream PC before prices went up. I did take my time and found deals. I went with a 7800x3d, 5080, X870E Tomahawk, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz cl30, 6tb worth of storage, Lian Li lancool 217 etc. I paired it with a 34 inch 1440p 240hz oled and a 32inch VA 1440p for non gaming stuff. If I was to buy it again it would cost me over 2000$ more. Crazy times. 😢
Resident Evil Requiem doesn't run with DLSS 4.5 when running path tracing. Ray Reconstruction overrides it to Preset E or D.
The best is the 9950x3d not the 9850x3d
Good quality, high end components that have unfortunately been placed into a case that looks cheaper than the 5080 packaging! Get those parts put into something more suited! lol.
I was able to get a 7950X3D, a 4 terabyte gen 5 drive, and 96 gigs of ddr5 with this budget I think last year before the ram crisis. Sad times we live in
Do any Retailers offer Bundle deals like in the states? Microcenter stores and Newegg other great combo deals. You get cpu and mobo with ram free pretty much. Can get 9800x3d, B850 mobo , corsair 32gb ram $680usd, 9850xed 870 mobo, corsair 32gb ram for $750usd, even 9950x3d 870e mobo , 32 gb ram corsair for $914. I recommend bundle deals to anyone in the states or has microcenter store near them.
4k is only for 5090 native
Upscaling once again blah
3k for a b series chipset and an montech psu (ok) but it's blah. And corsair ram blah and what Palit brand
Why you keep building new pc?
Question! I got my x870e godlike motherboard day off launch, and I got my 9950x3d about a month later when it was released. Should I update motherboard before I try installing windows? Or install windows first?im watercooling this build hence why i’m just about to finally finish it
Love your videos!! & I have to say this has convinced me to stop thinking I need a GPU upgrade. I’ve got the 9060xt 16gb & have been wanting to jump to 5070 but I play on 1440p & get 190fps epic view distance in Fortnite which seeing the 5080 top out around 190fps using DLSS I’m very satisfied with my little 9060xt lol
I have this build.. 9850x3d with a Asus tuff 5080 oc with the B850 tuff motherboard too lol crazy
My OCD is triggered by not peeling off the film of the I/O shield on the motherboard. 😭
i would recommend getting the msi mpg b850 edge ti wifi, it is white but hopefully looks good still, has rgb, costs the same, but the main thing is it has a q code display, the tuf you used doesnt
Has he been going to the gym👀
I’m the one who said Warzone 😂
Your £325 tag for the ram is wrong. The links you gave show £460 on amazon and £380 on overclockers. The official price is £454. Havn't seen it as low as 325 anywhere except used.
This pc looks suspiciously like the ULTIMATE $1800 Gaming pc from early 2025..
What was the price of this PC before 6 months?
THANK YOU! You’re back building PCs! IMO this system is better value for $2000-$2500 if you ditch the 5080 and just buy a 9070XT
Great video. Thanks.
Regarding the case, I'd take the Fractal Design Torrent RGB.
$3000 and it still struggles on minecraft and stutters on cod
