Can someone throw together a list for $800? I was thinking maybe a 6600 XT and a Ryzen 5 3600.
#800 USD Build
boreal rain
unborn current
youre in the US i assume?
boreal rain
Yeah
boreal rain
I want it to look nice but I don't have an aesthetic.
Uhhh I could always get an antenna or whatever
No big deal
unborn current
mind going a bit over 800$?
psu isnt the creme de la creme but it wont die randomly
boreal rain
The cpu won't get bottlenecked?
unborn current
no its fine
boreal rain
Yeah but the case is kinda big
I have divorced parents so I was wanting something I could somewhat easily transport
unborn current
hm, actually itx wouldnt be too expensivec
nvm sfx psus are hella expensive
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NjYL6r smth like this maybe
nr200 is on the bigger side of itx cases but its easy to build in and i think you might like that
actually you need a few more fans
boreal rain
Should I just use the stock cooler?
unborn current
it could work, yea
boreal rain
Is the $20 one really any better?
unborn current
its better for sure but you dont need one
tough ginkgo
a 1080 GPU would only be good if you find a banger used deal
tough ginkgo
isn't the 1080 on par with the 3050 in performance
boreal rain
I see a 1070 founders edition near me for $150
Is that bangin' enough to justify it?
And a 1080 in the same city for $160
unborn current
I see a 1070 founders edition near me for $150
not worth
unborn current
isn't the 1080 on par with the 3050 in performance
doesnt make the 3050 good though
tough ginkgo
I see a 1070 founders edition near me for $150
for 150$ used, you should be seeing 5700s around about
unborn current
tough ginkgo
are those new prices?
tough ginkgo
1080s new were like 250-350
I'm saying that because a 6600 xt new is 230 ish rn
boreal rain
Are NVidias starting to become inferior to AMDs?
tough ginkgo
AMD is slowly catching up, AMD is only behind in drivers because they lack experience making em
unborn current
drivers are not bad
tough ginkgo
drivers are not bad
not bad, but not as good as Nvidia
boreal rain
I am just totally replacing my old build
unborn current
based on what
unborn current
oh wow
boreal rain
It was like 6-700 dollars because I made it during the great shortage
I'm giving it to my friend for like 150 lol
unborn current
you alr got a gpu then?
boreal rain
A shit one
unborn current
oh, 280x
boreal rain
Yeah lol
tough ginkgo
look on eBay for a used GPU
tough ginkgo
I wouldn't go anything under a 1080
boreal rain
Rn I game on a laptop with a 5600 H and a 1650
It plays most of my games like the fallouts and PC Building sim
But I want something for MW2
unborn current
shouldnt a 1650 run mw2 although barely?
unborn current
oh, could you keep the cooler and just shave off like 10$ for your friend?
unborn current
dont you have the stock cooler for the i3 anymore?
boreal rain
Do you think $150 is reasonable for that?
unborn current
with or without gpu?
boreal rain
With
unborn current
eh, its fine
boreal rain
I don't want that thing lol
unborn current
150$ isnt bad at all
boreal rain
I wanted to give him a deal
rain rune
Why don’t u try to negotiate with the dude for the 150 dollar one for like 130 or something
Or attempt to
Cause he might wanna get rid of it quick
tough ginkgo
he's the one selling it to him
supple spindle
nr200 is on the bigger side of itx cases but its easy to build in and i think yo...
could go for jonsbo c6
unborn current
idk itx cases
supple spindle
dirt cheap, smaller than most itx cases, matx mobo + atx psu support
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Pcpm4s @boreal rain
could run stock cooler but it will be louder if thats a concern
although this is matx its smaller than the nr200 (15 liter vs 18 liter)
unborn current
would that fit a vetroo v5
supple spindle
no
75mm
axp-120 is probably the best cooler you could fit in it
beats all the noctua low profile coolers for like half the price
supple spindle
yep
potent notch
that looks like a nightmare to cable manage
supple spindle
wait so the psu is in front of the cooler?
yes a bit choked but this is marketed for budget builds / lower power cpus
this is basically as compact as it gets for matx
unborn current
huh, neat
boreal rain
Are 3050s any good?
tough ginkgo
3050s are equivalent to the 1080 in performance
boreal rain
Yeah but isn't ray-tracing supposed to be like Jesus on roller skates
Also is this good enough
unborn current
Yeah but isn't ray-tracing supposed to be like Jesus on roller skates
you wont raytrace at all with a 3050
unborn current
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VxfFf7/silicon-power-a60-2-tb-m2-2280-nvme-soli...
yea its a fine budget drive
boreal rain
yep
That thing is a thermal nightmare
I've watched some reviews and man'
That suffocates your parts
Like I get that's the catch with compact systems, but I'd rather spend some extra money than have a throttling cpu
supple spindle
its not going to throttle
quite literally the best cooler that'll fit in that case and an efficient chip
if you were referring to this
they were using 13400f and an intel stock cooler
slightly hotter chip and significantly worse cooler
clear hull
Eyyyy I have that case..... im like 90% sure. It was a pain in the ASS to build on. But it had everything I needed.
Yup, it's the one I have. It was a pain in the booty putting fans into the bottom of the case. But everything you are putting in should be far more manageable.
boreal rain
What's a good cooler?
Ik it's higher than my initial budget but there is too good of a deal on that 6700XT
^Also case fans
supple spindle
there are cheaper 6700xts tho
supple spindle
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4gT4Xy
the X isnt worth the extra; same performance
cheaper mobo, also has wifi + bios flashback
cheaper PSU, higher tier
the cooler is very much overkill; stock cooler is fine, but the best aircooler on the market for $35 is a worthwhile pickup
boreal rain
Any monitor reccomendations to pair with this?
Tbh I'm only used to 1080p 60hz/720p 30hz so most will be an upgrade lol
I'm considering this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/xsmmP6/samsung-t350-240-1920x1080-75-hz-monitor-lf24t350fhnxza
supple spindle
Tbh I'm only used to 1080p 60hz/720p 30hz so most will be an upgrade lol
nah man it'd be a waste getting anything less than 144hz with a 6700xt
one of if not the best <240hz 1080p monitors
at a solid price too
clear hull
Amazing S tier monitor, for an amazing price. Using one myself.
Feel free to look up reviews
boreal rain
nah man it'd be a waste getting anything less than 144hz with a 6700xt
Idk I have epilepsy and high refresh rates make me feel nauseas
It may just be me
But I feel like high refresh rates (like my friend's monitor) makes me feel sick
simple cedar
What type of panel is your friends monitor?
supple spindle
no
IPS/VA/TN
i dont see how higher refresh rate makes you nauseous, it should do the opposite really
he probably just has a shitty panel or config
boreal rain
He said VA
supple spindle
it probably just has a lot of smearing and/or ghosting
which would def make me sick 🤢
higher refresh rate alone makes everything smoother, i really cant understand why it'd make someone nauseous
half jay
Not a lot of people understand you can play 4K on ultra settings on the 6700 xt also if you’re okay with 45 Fps on some games 
I have one and play 4K on all my cinematic games and switch down to 1440p for fps shooters
clear hull
I call shenanigans on 4k ultra with that fps with only a 6700xt
half jay
Look up benchmarking with it
clear hull
yeah, medium to high settings, not ultra
clear hull
and alot of the games are like ... apex or something
half jay
clear hull
hey, if it can do it constantly, great, I just switched from a 6800xt and I would tank at times at 2k, let alone 4k
half jay
This has cyberpunk at 4K ultra 45 fps
Well you Defo have to overclock to max but
It will run 4K just fine
clear hull
though when you have a 2k or 4k monitor, running games at ultra is not even needed most of the time. The amount of graphical fidelity is mute for the performance hit
half jay
I just run the at ultra cause I can I have a 40” display so it simply looks better
Tbh unless you need raytracing imo the 6700 xt is the best budget to performance cars you can buy
clear hull
to each their own, but do alot of comparison shots of ultra vs high
half jay
Killer at 1440p and decent at 4K
Well yea I do get better fps at high vs ultra but I only play 4K ultra in cinematic titles where I don’t need the extra fps
Until new games that become substantially more demanding at 4K are released ima keep my 6700 xt
clear hull
this is more of a legit benchmarking content creator
I was watching your video and alot of its numbers were way off
half jay
I’ve found several videos of the same results with the 6700 xt
I myself have played intense titles at 4K ultra on the 6700 xt at 45ish fps
clear hull
4k ulta with a stock 6700xt gets around 20-50 fps depending on the game
half jay
I’m overclocking lol
clear hull
then you cant say the 6700xt hits these numbers, because you might have gotten lucky with silicon
always go by stock settings
half jay
Not really lol. Almost all of them will overclock to at least 2300-2400mhz which is all that’s needed to run it
The stock settings are 2300 I think
For mine at least
clear hull
thats simply unture, im just trying to educate you to not make it seem, if someone were to buy this, they will get x & y results, when you are using your own overclocked card in comparison is all
half jay
Well I have the cheapest and hottest running 6700 xt aside from the PowerColor and it’ll do it so…
Several benchmarks have shown the card will run 4K fine in most titles
clear hull
right, thats fantastic, for you ... not everyone will get the same results
if your goal is 30fps 4k gaming on ultra, then sure
half jay
I wasn’t making a point that all games are gonna play perfect that’s why I said 30-60 fps lol….
clear hull
the 6700xt was targeted primairly for 2k gaming to begin with, and its a mid range card
half jay
Cool and several benchmarks have show it will play 4K fine so
clear hull
whats fine for you is not fine for others, thats all im saying. Just provide the info and let the person go off that.
half jay
Dude I’m not gonna argue with you 😂 the benchmarks show it will play 4K in general fine
clear hull
you certainly do seem to be argueing
but getting 20-40 fps for most people is not ... fine
half jay
Okay…turn down the graphics settings ease
supple spindle
1440p med-high >>>> 4k low

psu isnt the creme de la creme but it wont die randomly
With $850 ish you can get a build that has a rm750e can’t you?
Oh wait, is it sff?

And if you’re fine with changing cases too

There are cheaper 6700xt but i this one on another list and I don’t really understand the differences between amd gpu’s
novel lodge
i feel like thats old af
It’s a tight budget.
unborn current
i meant the list, not done recently
cause shit isnt in stock or some items r overpriced
novel lodge
Wait what?!
novel lodge
I changed the stuff I know about
novel lodge
I don’t know anything about amd gpu models. I thought they alr had those fans
Ig https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8HBG3C/asrock-radeon-rx-6700-xt-12-gb-challenger-d-video-card-rx6700xt-cld-12g is the better option
unborn current
its cheaper
half jay
1440p med-high >>>> 4k low
A decent amount of games can be played at 4K high to ultra. Not super intensive games but some
People sleep on the 6700 xt but it’s pretty powerful
unborn current
A decent amount of games can be played at 4K high to ultra. Not super intensive ...
dmc5 ❤️
played it a bit on my TV, gorgeous game
really underrated
looks great, runs great, plays great
half jay
Ride 4, Plague tale requiem, Star Wars Jedi survivor (Maybe depending on various variables) And back 4 blood I’ve all played on 4K ultra averaging 50ish fps. I’ve played a few more at 4K like battle front and other but they’re not very intense games and get 150+ fps whether it’s 4K or not
Tbh tho I personally prefer super high settings on cinematic games and will sacrifice some fps. Then games like cod, csgo, and some others will play close to 100 fps on 4K still playable but most would wanna love down to 1440p for the extra performance bump
unborn current
i played gow ragnarok on a PS4
quartz crown
would say 60fps is really the minimum
clear hull
Same, so long as you can hold 60 fps, the game will be able to provide that cinematic experience far better. So many different factors help with that, like FSR, DLSS etc. Which is why when stuff gets benchmarked, most places will do so without them enabled. If you get 50 fps on max settings without anything like that enabled, you know you can easily get 60+ with them turned on.
