Thank you
I'm building very simmilar-ish builds in a PCshop for about ~20% cheaper still by going for some lesser known brands that we've already tested over the years to "not explode" on us, so that's possible too.
How does the $500 build from here compare to the $500 build using the core i3 from a couple months back?
Love that everyone uses pc part picker
In the end, the Black Friday deals for this year are a joke. Most online retailers over here where I am, including Amazon, basically just offered an average of $10~20 voucher (depending on how much you buy) while pulling the price of their products back up to around their normal price. Unfortunately, those products were already on sale, which means you're literally buying them at a price that you would be buying them at before Black Friday. And since the voucher only works once, you can't buy multiple items at a discounted price. Black Friday articles that listed them as deals were doing so because they didn't know how much they were usually going for.
Here is an amazing tip: Get an i5-13600kf instead of any 12th gen chip, the 13600kf is a good price and almost runs faster than an i9-12900ks
Linus: DDR5? MORE LIKE DDR-BUY
proceeds to use only DDR4 memory in all configs
I'm building my own PC, and I got a i9-11900k, RTX 3080 set up with 32 GB of RAM, and 2 TB of storage for 2k. yes I also have a power supply, fans, case, motherboard and AIO. (all of which are good brands like corsair, and ROG.)
Some links are missing for the products
I was hoping for a blacked out build.
I hate RGB. I go out of my way to remove RGB if I buy a prebuilt computer.
did anybody point out that only 16gb ram on a $2000 build is a joke?
Linus I fkkin love you, thanks for putting this together. My 2017 gaming laptop is just trying to not explode lol
I'm a PcPartPicker expert as well as have lots of knowledge about components and most of these builds aren't really recommended.
Problem is how can you use the system if You didn’t buy a monitor keyboard and mouse
Hi. Do you know which of these CPUs will perform better in machine learning and data science tasks, no need to say I would use an nvidia GPU like 3070 beside the cpu. but I wanna choose a appropriate cpu for these types of tasks. these are my choices:
5900X
13600KF
or a little bit expensive one (13700KF).
Is there a reason I don't see PCPartPicker links in the description or comments? Maybe I should dig deeper, and find and like a random fan's PCPartPicker link comment, but that's harder than whining in my own comment, and I have done a pretty big chunk of scrolling.
I did not get when you said that the low tier gpu would make compromises. How? what is the meaning in compromising in regards that GPU?
The $300 build is bad. You can get 2×8 for 39.99 and the 5600g is the same price as the 4600g. The 2.5" ssd can be turned into an m.2 for no additional price
I have a decent bequiet 80+ bronze PSU, but it's from 2013… Should I get a new one?
Little mention from Europe: Just had a look at that ASRock Radeon RX6700XT CLD 12G – it's abotu 900@ in Germany currently. So that alone is your 1000$ build. Didn't realizes prices are that different over here…
Thank you for the build. I wish you had made a putting it all together video as well.
