can someone help me build a gaming pc

[golden depot]

a $1500 white wi-fi gaming pc with a nvidia gpu (preference) does not need a white mobo or gpu

[tiny wharf]

Yes

Hold on

[golden depot]

alright

alr

[tiny wharf]

What form factor you want?

[golden depot]

does not matter to me atx preferred

[tiny wharf]

Do you got a preference for the cpu?

[golden depot]

intel probably because the drivers on the ryzen 😭

[tiny wharf]

I’ll see what I can do

I’ve never made an Intel build tho

[golden depot]

okay!

[golden depot]

i can do ryzen too

[tiny wharf]

Alright

@golden depot this build is probably awful https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LxTfvj

[golden depot]

thank u

[balmy ingot]

OP already got these in another channel just tossing them in so no one feels like they need to take similar pass.
(But if not ordering quickly, and the CPU & case code/rebate die, a different case & CPU are worth looking into)

[plain zealot]

@golden depot How about this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zdzrDZ

Gpu has white/blue leds btw

Do you live near a microcentre?

[plain zealot]

$670 for a 4070 is a scam

[balmy ingot]

Thus why I made the second more budget build with a 7800xt.

[plain zealot]

Msrp is $600 and some are as low as $525

White 4070s are literally $550 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rdMMnQ/msi-ventus-2x-oc-geforce-rtx-4070-12-gb-video-card-rtx-4070-ventus-2x-white-12g-oc

[balmy ingot]

In tc2 OP didn't say the Mobo and GPU don't need to be white.
I'm quite happy with the 7800xt build thanks for the input.

[silk urchin]

Yeah don’t get the nvidea gpus

[silk urchin]

That’s terrible just because of case and gpu

[plain zealot]

And the ddr4

You’d be responsible for the deaths of 100 unicorns when you buy that kit

[silk urchin]

Yeah

[urban obsidian]

what

[golden depot]

the drivers are hard to download when u first build the pc cs u have to have the usb drive and all that

[urban obsidian]

?

none of this is relevant to the cpu

are you talking about flashing bios?

[golden depot]

yeah

cs u don’t really have to do that w intel

[urban obsidian]

No?

It applies to both equally

Not an issue anyways if you get the right board

[golden depot]

i haven’t seen anyone talking about updating their motherboard for intel

[urban obsidian]

b660’s and z690’s on 13th gen?

[golden depot]

i always js go the current gen of motherboards

[urban obsidian]

then bios wouldn’t be an issue period

on either side

[golden depot]

if i get a 7800x3d i wouldn’t have to update the bios

?

[urban obsidian]

You wouldn’t

[golden depot]

not even to support 3d

[urban obsidian]

it can use the same bios as the rest of the 7000 series

[golden depot]

so what cpu should i do with a $1500 build with a 4070

[urban obsidian]

why a 4070 exactly?

And I’d just get a 7600

[golden depot]

i js prefer nvidia because i had a and card and the vram died

it’s js a caution

[urban obsidian]

thats not much of a caution

same thing can happen to literally any card

[tiny wharf]

Amd has more vram

[silk urchin]

That can happen with any card

[golden depot]

ik i js prefer it 😭😭

[silk urchin]

Amd is cheaper and better for almost everything

[tiny wharf]

What are you planning to do with it

[urban obsidian]

theres nothing to prefer

[tiny wharf]

Intel is cheaper than amd

Big brain

[golden depot]

i js do ☠️

[silk urchin]

Well and is your better option if your okay with wasting money then cool go nvidea

[urban obsidian]

kinda vague statement

[silk urchin]

Lmao I meant for gpus

[tiny wharf]

Ik

[silk urchin]

Yeah

[tiny wharf]

Intel offers more for less

[golden depot]

i thought it isnt bc a 13600k is $317 and a 7600 is around $220

[tiny wharf]

I’m talking about gpus lol

[golden depot]

ohh

[urban obsidian]

i don’t recall arc cards being too viable outside of canada

[tiny wharf]

They are now I believe

[silk urchin]

No still bad value

[tiny wharf]

Wdym

A $100 arc has more performance than a $200 amd

[urban obsidian]

Which card are you referring to

[balmy ingot]

Literally picked the 13600K for you because especially with that $35 code makes it cheaper than the AMD equivalent currently.

[tiny wharf]

I forgot the name 💀

Hold on

[urban obsidian]

the a380?

..that doesn’t beat a 6600 by a long shot

[tiny wharf]

A770

I think maybe

Idk

I think I’m completely wrong tho

Cause the a770 is like $300 I think

[urban obsidian]

,,well theres only 3 intel cards

an a380, a750 and a770

[tiny wharf]

Oh

[urban obsidian]

none of which appear to be very viable

[tiny wharf]

Mb

[tiny wharf]

Eh

The a750 is better than the rx6600

[urban obsidian]

They’re on par

[tiny wharf]

And the a750 is cheaper

[tiny wharf]

Well it depends

[urban obsidian]

,,no it’s not

[tiny wharf]

If it’s optimized for the a750

[balmy ingot]

Ugh this is exactly why them changing build-a-pc to a forum was a horrible idea.

[urban obsidian]

??

[tiny wharf]

Yes it is

Like $40 cheaper

[urban obsidian]

????

[plain zealot]

It’s not

[urban obsidian]

$213 for the cheapest a750

[tiny wharf]

OH MB

I was thinking of the rx 6650xt 😭

[urban obsidian]

thats $229

the a750 isn’t beating a 6650xt in anything

maybe diffusion or RT

but I doubt it

[tiny wharf]

Eh

Tbf the cpu being used is Intel

[urban obsidian]

YT benchmarks are comically unreliable

[tiny wharf]

I think you just don’t like arcs 💀

[urban obsidian]

I think you’re overestimating arc cards

[tiny wharf]

I think you’re just a hater

[marble jacinth]

Intel arc is too immature to buy right now

You should avoid it

[marble jacinth]

No, they’re right. I love the concept of Intel Arc but the drivers are too unstable and the product itself is way too immature right now.

[silk urchin]

They are same price and same performance except almost every situation a 6600 wins because of better optimization

[tiny wharf]

Oh

[silk urchin]

So on paper they have the same but in the real word 6600 is like 15% better
