How much money should you spend on a gaming PC? Let's find out how performance scales by price if we remain value conscious on our parts list.
Here's a link to the previous video discussing the full thought process behind the $1500 build: [ Ссылка ]
Here's the parts lists:
The best performance per dollar will be found in the $1100 to $1500 range using a build similar to what is listed below:
CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X: [ Ссылка ]
(Non-x is good too, but was out of stock when filming)
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin [ Ссылка ]
Motherboard: ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2: [ Ссылка ]
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30: [ Ссылка ]
SSD: 2 TB PCIe Gen 4: [ Ссылка ]
Case (Others are fine): Montech AIR 903 MAX [ Ссылка ]
PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V2: [ Ссылка ]
GPU choice should vary by your max budget and will have the largest impact on gaming performance out of any single part:
$1100 Build GPU: RX 6800 [ Ссылка ]
$1300 Build GPU: RTX 4070 Super [ Ссылка ]
$1300 Build GPU (AMD Option): RX 7900 GRE [ Ссылка ]
$1500 Build GPU: RTX 4070 Ti Super [ Ссылка ]
For $1700, upgrade the CPU to the Ryzen 7800X3D: [ Ссылка ]
From there upgrade the GPU further:
$2000 RTX 4080 Super: [ Ссылка ]
7900 XTX is also an option to save a bit of money: [ Ссылка ]
$2700 RTX 4090: [ Ссылка ]
Spending more than this won't meaningfully increase performance, so extra funds can be allocated to making the build look awesome!
If you need to go below $1100 you will need to swap to an older generation CPU/Mobo/RAM
One option would be a Ryzen 5600 based build using these parts:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 [ Ссылка ]
Mobo: A B550 motherboard at a low price. Something like this: [ Ссылка ]
RAM: 2x16GB DDR5 3200 CL 16 [ Ссылка ]
You could also cut the power supply and SSD a bit if needed.
GPU should scale with budget:
$800 build: RX 6700 XT [ Ссылка ]
$860 build: RX 6800 [ Ссылка ]
$960 build: RX 7800 XT [ Ссылка ]
$1000 build: RTX 4070 (or stick with 7800 XT if you prefer 16GB vram over better upscaler): [ Ссылка ]
