I would probably say buy a bulk storage hard disk just for files that you don't want cluttering your fast storage, then I would seriously recommend choosing a better PSU
Both due to the efficiency rating, and as its not a modular PSU.
I have a friend that's used this and it's seemed to treat them well, so you could give this a go: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-MAG-A750GL-Gaming-Supply/dp/B0CC3QBGDL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=2AVD4HAGRN3YQ&keywords=700w+psu+fully+modular&qid=1706537332&sprefix=modular+psu+700w+%2Caps%2C370&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

USA around 700 and gaming

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

And yes I’m very biased I prefer intel and nvidia

#

No I didn’t buy yet

junior phoenix
#

Intel has no upgrades and Nvidia is just horrible with pricing and VRAM

pseudo edge
#

Friends have intel and nvidia I am more familiar with them

junior phoenix
gentle epoch
#

Pricing per dollar I see as more important then publicity

pseudo edge
#

Idc

junior phoenix
#

They wasted their money

pseudo edge
#

I know I’m dumb

junior phoenix
#

I did

#

Many others did too

pseudo edge
#

I can do qnd for cpu

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

Amd

junior phoenix
#

Do AMD for GPU also

pseudo edge
#

I can’t

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

I know

gentle epoch
#

With amd cpu and gpu then you can utilize direct access memory

pseudo edge
#

Idk what that is

#

Fine

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

If it’s that much cheaper and same or more performance I can do it

pseudo edge
#

Go amd

#

This is a first build I can do intel nvidia on my final build

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

We’ll see

junior phoenix
#

Nvidia only has an advantage for heavy RT

#

The rest don't matter for us gamers

#

And I mean heavy rt

#

Not just light RT

pseudo edge
#

Ehhh

#

I have a while before next build so we’ll see

junior phoenix
#

XTX is 8% slower than 4080 in light RT

#

That's barely noticeable ngl

#

That's getting 92fps instead of 100

pseudo edge
#

I don use rt

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

I need high fps

junior phoenix
#

So there is no reason for you to get Nvidia

pseudo edge
#

So if amd can get more performance and less price for this build I can go amd

#

I have a ps5 so anything is prob better I guess

#

For high fps

#

Are you still here?

pseudo edge
#

Ok

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

Ok

junior phoenix
#

But I'll try to help as soon as possible

pseudo edge
#

How long

#

I need to go soon

#

But I’ll be back

pseudo edge
junior phoenix
#

Can someone fix this list

#

It just seems horrible to me

thorny whale
thorny whale
#

Yes

junior phoenix
#

5600g?

thorny whale
#

Faster

junior phoenix
thorny whale
junior phoenix
#

5600g is a 5500 with an igpu

thorny whale
#

Nope

junior phoenix
#

I think it's stupid too

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

It’s ~12% faster in games

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

Tom’s hardware

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

1 sec

#

Also the 5600G is in there bc its cheaper than the non g

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

No

junior phoenix
#

That's the issue with it

junior phoenix
#

It's slower

#

It may not make sense but it is

thorny whale
#

The fuck

#

They’re literally clocked the same

#

Well my bad then

junior phoenix
#

Or we would have like 10ghz cpus

thorny whale
#

Maybe I looked up a 5600 non g review by accident

junior phoenix
#

Clock is important but not that important.

#

Now why the a750?

thorny whale
junior phoenix
#

Are the drivers already ready?

thorny whale
thorny whale
junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

Hmm

junior phoenix
#

Let me check actually

thorny whale
#

Well ill swap that for a 5500

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

The 5500 doesn’t?

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

💀

#

Do they perform the same

junior phoenix
#

A750 looks pretty good now

junior phoenix
#

126 vs 132 when compared to 5600g

thorny whale
#

It seems to be slower

thorny whale
#

Hol up

thorny whale
#

When the fuck did 6700s drop to $300

junior phoenix
#

I'd go with the 3600

thorny whale
#

Yea

junior phoenix
#

That PCIe gen 3 on the 5500 is a letdown

thorny whale
#

lmao discord has the wrong cpu cached in the embed

junior phoenix
thorny whale
junior phoenix
#

They the same price

#

It does matter

pseudo edge
#

What

#

Im about to overheat

thorny whale
#

The difference in load times between a sata and really fast nvme ssd are like

#

A few seconds at most

junior phoenix
thorny whale
junior phoenix
#

That's what I go to

#

Just has no dram cache

thorny whale
#

Is the sn770 the faster one

junior phoenix
#

The xg7000 does

thorny whale
pseudo edge
#

Whqt build so I use

thorny whale
#

Maybe go with that one then

junior phoenix
thorny whale
pseudo edge
#

Ok

thorny whale
#

We’re working out the ssd rn lol

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

Ok well the mp33 has dram

#

And the xg7000 has no price available

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

So dram or performance?

junior phoenix
junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

K

pseudo edge
#

If the ssd is a few seconds slower but still has 1tb it doesn’t matter too much

#

I don’t need to fastest ssd ever

thorny whale
junior phoenix
thorny whale
junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

You may be looking at old reviews

thorny whale
#

Huh

junior phoenix
#

5700xt equal to a770 8gb

thorny whale
#

Also I would recommend the 5700xt but it’s like gone from stores now

thorny whale
#

And most ppl dont want used

pseudo edge
#

Ok do we have a final build

thorny whale
#

Yea

#

Actually I now realize the original build had a 4060 and this is slower

pseudo edge
#

Yeah

#

That’s what I thought

#

And the cpu and mobo is more expensive

thorny whale
#

Ok its bc I spent that $100 on ram, cpu cooler, and psu

pseudo edge
#

Can I have a final build link

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

Why not the amd gpu

#

Ok I’ll be back in a bit

#

I have a few issues

#

More expensive ram and more expensive cpu and intel gpu

thorny whale
#

Well

#

Gpu still worse

#

I gtg

#

Ill try to make a $300 gpu fit in later

#

If I can get a $300 gpu in then u can get 6700

#

Faster than 4060

junior phoenix
#

🔺

pseudo edge
#

I just want high fps for a good price

#

And if I go back to the original cpu and motherboard combo then it will be cheaper good performance and can fit a better gpu in it

#

Because a 115 cpu 105 mobo and 68 dollar ram doesn’t offer much budget for a good gpu

#

So if we go back to the 33 dollar ram and intel cpu and motherboard more budget for gpu

thorny whale
#

I got carried away getting a better quality psu and stuff lol

pseudo edge
#

Yeah

#

All I need is high fps

#

So just put all the original cpu mobo ram case amd all that and make it a better gpu

gentle epoch
#

You might want to consider a 750w (for some future proofing) modular psu with a higher efficiency rating too just as most bronze psus have lower end parts (not saying all but some may be more susceptible to failure)

pseudo edge
#

So should I just stay with the 4060

pseudo edge
gentle epoch
pseudo edge
#

Arc 750

pseudo edge
#

Amd cpu more expensive ram more expensive mobo

gentle epoch
#

Didn't mean to reply to that.

pseudo edge
#

It’s fine

#

I just want high fps

gentle epoch
#

GPU? I feel like amd 6000/ low 7000 might have a price near what that is

pseudo edge
#

And be higher performance than a 4060

gentle epoch
#

7600/ 7700 and look at the prices

pseudo edge
#

This was the original build

#

Should I just get that

thorny whale
#

1 sec

#

yeah intel seems like a better option at this budget

thorny whale
thorny whale
#

c tier on psu tier list

#

not modular though

junior phoenix
junior phoenix
junior phoenix
junior phoenix
#

QLC and no dram cache

#

P3 and p3 pluses are garbage

#

And no reason to use intel

junior phoenix
gentle epoch
#

What's the price of the 7 3700 atm?

#

7 3700x has a larger cache, higher base clock, and lower TDP all with having twice the physical cores

#

Single core performance still goes to Intel but most games support multi threading

#

But its 1.5 to 2x the price but for twice the performance

#

If this is a rig only being used for a short time period, just buy used.

earnest coyote
#

Budget?

thorny whale
#

and faster

junior phoenix
earnest coyote
#

what's the budget @thorny whale

thorny whale
#

$700

junior phoenix
earnest coyote
#

shit

thorny whale
#

not by much though

junior phoenix
#

Or was it in the list

thorny whale
#

lemme find the bench

junior phoenix
junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

you can see the 3600x further up in that list

junior phoenix
junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

yes

junior phoenix
#

Good

#

Those p3s are complete garbage

thorny whale
#

wait I forgot

#

the p3 is still in there

junior phoenix
#

Same for the p3 pluses

thorny whale
#

fixed

earnest coyote
#

Where's the case

earnest coyote
gentle epoch
#

That's what they choose originally

thorny whale
earnest coyote
#

My take on this budget

earnest coyote
#

Easy switch

thorny whale
earnest coyote
earnest coyote
#

Am4 usually has cheaper motherboards

#

12100f Vs 3600 is a 4$ difference

#

whereas motherboards can have a 20$ difference

thorny whale
#

gpu > cpu as well

earnest coyote
thorny whale
#

6700xt is very good for this price point

earnest coyote
#

SSD should be fine

#

Patriot is better than its competitors at the price point I think

junior phoenix
#

SSD is slow

earnest coyote
#

SSD is literally fine

junior phoenix
#

This is better

earnest coyote
#

similar to others

junior phoenix
earnest coyote
#

At the price

junior phoenix
#

Gen 4 is less than $10 more

earnest coyote
junior phoenix
earnest coyote
#

Higher end gen 3 is better than low end gen 4

junior phoenix
#

Yeah I know but still

junior phoenix
#

Not the sn770

earnest coyote
#

oh ok

junior phoenix
#

The others are molex

earnest coyote
#

Ye I don't really like X3 mesh

#

Looks cheap asf

junior phoenix
#

Just remember this for next time

#

Don't nobody need no molex fans

earnest coyote
#

okay

thorny whale
junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

I didn't see that earlier

junior phoenix
#

Didn't see that

thorny whale
#

a series bad

earnest coyote
#

Let me fix it

gentle epoch
earnest coyote
earnest coyote
#

Unless GPU is downgraded to something like a 6650xt

earnest coyote
#

Just trying to squeeze max performance for abt 30 extra

junior phoenix
junior phoenix
#

Not gonna have much upgradability

earnest coyote
#

10$ extra will get a b550

junior phoenix
#

No VRM heatsinks

junior phoenix
hollow cloak
#

B550 pro4 >>>

earnest coyote
#

750

thorny whale
#

but then you can just get 6700

#

or 6700xt

earnest coyote
#

might be better to get a rx 6700 or a 6650xt

#

to fit in budget

#

50 is too much

#

let me change the GPU

#

11$ extra

#

I'd get this personally

junior phoenix
#

🔺

pseudo edge
#

And this would be better than the i3 and the 4060

pseudo edge
#

Ok

#

By how much

#

Just asking

junior phoenix
#

Let me check

#

I think the CPU a little weaker

#

Much better upgrade path though

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

Ok

junior phoenix
#

So like 8% faster with more upgradeability

pseudo edge
#

How much more would the 6700 xt be

#

And how much fps would that be worth

hollow cloak
thorny whale
#

$320

hollow cloak
pseudo edge
#

And how much more performance/fps

earnest coyote
#

Not too much

#

39$ extra I believe

#

from my current list

pseudo edge
#

Ok

earnest coyote
#

Actually

#

If you don't mind going a total 50$ extra

#

I'd get the xt

pseudo edge
#

Any other ways to cut down the price without losing fps

#

Like the ssd power supply ram mobo or sumthin

earnest coyote
#

These are some of the best budget parts

hollow cloak
#

nah

earnest coyote
#

Could cut money on SSD and motherboard but youre going for quite lower quality stuff

#

You want to keep these parts if you can

pseudo edge
#

What would I lose

earnest coyote
#

SSD speed and quality

#

motherboard would be shit

pseudo edge
#

Ok

earnest coyote
#

Less future proof

pseudo edge
#

Wdym by quality

earnest coyote
#

More likely to encounter issues and stuff or bad temps

pseudo edge
#

And how much ssd speed and what quality

earnest coyote
#

quality meaning the parts may degrade faster, or they perform quite worse loading time and speed wise. + Less future proof

earnest coyote
#

If you really need to cut a buck

#

could go for a cheaper gen 3 ssd

#

motherboard could be cut by 5$

pseudo edge
#

Actually nvm

earnest coyote
#

I don't recommend it tho

pseudo edge
#

Nah

#

It’s fine

#

The only thing that I would want to cut back price is cpu or gpu

#

But that would lower the fps

earnest coyote
#

yes it would

#

6650xt is always an option if you need to lose a buck or two

pseudo edge
#

Nah it’s fine

#

Thank you for the help

earnest coyote
#

Np

pseudo edge
#

I will probably get this in a month or two just need to save up a bit

junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

What will be outdated

pseudo edge
#

Until I get my next system

pseudo edge
junior phoenix
#

5800x3d can handle a 4090 easy

pseudo edge
#

Nah it will be a whole new pc with latest intel and nvidia stuff

#

New case, cooler all that stuff

junior phoenix
#

You mean latest AMD stuff

#

The 7800x3d is better than the 14900k for gaming

pseudo edge
#

How much better in games would the 6700xt be than a 4060

#

I looked at benchmarks but they vary

#

I mostly care about fn but need good gpa in all games

thorny whale
#

significant difference

junior phoenix
#

Currently not a big difference

#

That's the difference between the xtx and a 4090

#

In other words 90fps in cyberpunk and 108fps

#

Gotta be more important for weaker cards though

pseudo edge
#

How much fps on mid settings on cod fn overwatch

#

I play fps games

#

More competitively

junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

The difference between a 5800X3D and 7800X3D is also 20%

#

And that’s definitely significant

pseudo edge
#

This good?

thorny whale
junior phoenix
thorny whale
#

wait that has molex fans?

#

😭

pseudo edge
#

What is Molex fans

#

And how slow is ssd

thorny whale
junior phoenix
pseudo edge
#

So the fan is always in unless the pc is off

junior phoenix
#

Always at 100% too

#

They are dogshit

amber burrow
#

pwm fans are the best 👍

pseudo edge
#

I’ll buy fans after

#

I can deal with it for a while

thorny whale
#

same price

amber burrow
#

if the max isnt much more, id recommend that

#

1 extra fan with a fan hub and rgb as a bonus

thorny whale
#

oh wait

#

max

#

uhh

#

I think it's $10 more

junior phoenix
amber burrow
#

yeah worth it

#

6 fan fan hub and rgb hub irrc

pseudo edge
#

Does it come with fans

earnest coyote
#

yes

#

lol

pseudo edge
#

And they are the good fans

amber burrow
pseudo edge
#

How many of them

#

3 included

hollow cloak
#

For the max

pseudo edge
#

And the max has the good fans and rgb

hollow cloak
#

Yes

pseudo edge
#

And the base has good non rgb fans

#

And only three

hollow cloak
#

Yes
