Hello,

I was considering this build: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/mDvykJ

I was torn between two graphics cards: RX 6750 XT and the RTX 4060TI as they are relatively similar price points, and I was wondering which one would be better value wise and for long term performance? Also I know that AMD generally has a reputation for having more problems with graphics cards compared to NVIDIA, so I was wondering if this was the case, and if I should opt for the 4060TI instead despite it being a little worse performance wise.

I use a 1080p 144hz IPS monitor.

Thank you

I guess everything is way more expensive out there. I built a i5-13600k 4070ti build for just over $1600 (Mini ITX) Which is expensive to begin with. Save some money on your mobo and ram and put that money towards a better graphics card.

AMD.
Driver problems 10 years ago really shouldn't concern you, and unlike nVidia, they don't pull shit like only unlocking new driver features on the newest cards. Remember when nVidia made a big production out of calling the 20 series RTX instead of GTX, to justify why only the newest cards would be allowed to use raytracing and everyone without one should just cough up more money to buy one? And once people got mad enough the 10 and 16 series miraculously got a driver update that allowed them to use it too, despite nVidia vehemently claiming that only the 20 series had the special sauce hardware required for it for months.
And then there's the whole GameWorks / HairWorks bullshit where nVidia wasn't content with not giving driver optimizations to older cards, but actively designed new features with tesselation to have a disproportionate performance impact on their older cards (and AMD's by virtue of hiding the source code from them, preventing any attempt at optimization despite the AMD cards at the time having a lot more tesselation hardware than nVidia's) and then cranked up the settings that needed tesselation to the max, not because it would look much better, but because the last generation of cards losing 50-75% of their fps while the new ones only lost 30% made the new ones look like the best thing since sliced bread.

Anyway, rant over, nVidia isn't just content with letting their older cards age like milk, sometimes they piss in the milk too.
In a weird twist, AMD's usually get better for the first one or two years because they don't have the same manpower to throw at driver optimizations.
So if you're in it for the long haul, the AMD card got slightly better performance than the nVidia, which should make up for less optimized drivers on a game's release, and is cheaper, then I see no reason not to get it.

PSU might be a bit overkill, but isn't worth cheaping out on either, SSD is also probably faster than you need, but nothing wrong with the build.

It's Australia. Apart from one terrible A620 mobo that is somehow 132 AUD, you get mobos that are still A620 trash for 170-190, and then you're looking at 200+.
Meanwhile the GPU is already cheaper than most 6700 XT and 4060 (non-Ti), so 60 AUD more get him fuck all.
Sure, he could get a cheaper mobo, ram, SSD, case, and PSU, sacrifice it all to get a slightly faster GPU, but I'd bet all of those parts are going to stick around longer than the GPU. So if he thinks 6750 XT / 4060 Ti performance is good enough, then I'm going to just trust him on that and answer the question he asked, instead of questioning the premise.

Hey,
after my last PC build here from ~2016 was successfull, i thought it might be time for an upgrade, as i only upgraded my GPU in the meantime.

Currently i'm running a 1660TI and an i5 6600k.
Specifically also want to replace my case and PSU because they're more than 10 years old and loud and the case is huge (a CM Storm trooper).

I'm not looking for a gaming beast, but rather for a silent PC to do some light gaming on (Rocket League, TF2, and puzzle games like Firmament or Outer Wilds and i don't necessarily need super high graphics settings.
I also work as a computer scientist so i like to have a somewhat decent CPU and enough RAM to get through the day, but i don't need a workstation at home.
I also want to connect the PC to my 3 1080p monitors + my TV, which is 4K, but i am fine just gaming in 1080p on it.

Parts i have been looking at so far are:

Total: 898€ + shipping once from mindfactory

I'll be taking 2 SSDs and 1 HDD from my current build, all SATA, but i'd like to have the option to upgrade to NVMe.
I don't care about wifi or sound on the mobo (although wifi is a nice bonus if i ever bring the PC somewhere), but i need an ethernet port.

Also the only thing i feel unsure about is whether upgrading the GPU to a 7800 XT might make sense since i have a 4K TV (that also does 120Hz) so i can run games in better detail, but i game so little...

Budget is hard to say, i'd say 1500 is a hard upper bound and if i can fulfil my needs with the ~1000€ of my current suggestions then i'd be happy, but i can upgrade parts if needed.

Also might want to add that i'm using linux. While i have not had driver problems with my 1660 TI, from what i've heard AMD driver support is better (and with the recent retirement of the nvidia driver dev even more so)

edit: swapped the ryzen 5 7600X with the normal 7600 for way lower TDP, which makes me even less sure about the right CPU cooler choice.

Yo so I'm upgrading my pc's cpu from a ryzen 7 2700x to a ryzen 7 5800x since the motherboard can support it, but I want to know if I have to upgrade anything else in order for it work smoothly. Here are my specs. Lastly this is a prebuilt if that's important or not.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor 3.70 GHz

Cooler: Default AMD Cooler

Installed RAM: G.Skill DDR4 16.0 GB

System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Motherboard: B450 AORUS PRO WiFi-CF, can handle at max 2933MHz speed

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

be sure your motherboard bios is up to date and you'll be fine. if it's not the new cpu won't work. updating bios isn't hard so dw

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think it would be worth your time looking into the 5800x3d if you're mainly gaming.

Hello guys, quick question: Is the Ryzen 7 7800x3d a good CPU for TF2? Or if there is a different (AMD one) with a better price-to-performance ratio for TF2?

TickkIs the Ryzen 7 7800x3d a good CPU for TF2?

Yes.

TickkOr if there is a different (AMD one) with a better price-to-performance ratio for TF2?

Also Yes.

The 7800X3D should be pretty good. The 7900X3D and 7950X3D might be even faster, but it's complicated.
However price-to-performance gets worse beyond the midrange. Even using street prices instead of MSRP, a ~400€ 7800X3D gets you less bang for buck than a ~230€ 7600. A lot more bang, maybe 30% in TF2 if I had to guess, but asking even more buck, an extra 70%, for it.

I'd probably still reach for a 7600X for ~255€ if you can, but a 7700 or 7700X are valid steps in between, if you think the extra cores will be useful for something other than TF2. I'd also generally favour the X variant for the higher power limit, since you'll need that to get the higher boost clocks that TF2 benefits from consistently.
For the absolute most bang for buck there's also the 7500F without in integrated GPU for ~195€.

I've been gaming on a nice laptop for too long and need to build something. I only play tf2 so im not sure how powerful I need to make it. I figure CPU, GPU, and Memory are the most important things. I dont plan to play on higher settings than I have now, so im thinking 240 fps at 1080p and 144hz. What suggestions do people have?

I would like your feedback on this pcpartpicker build I've made. Haven't had much experience in any of this, but my requirements are:

  • The Phanteks NV9
  • 7800x3d CPU
  • 240hz @ 1440p Curved monitor
  • As many things white (RGB or non-RGB)

Here are some notes I need help with:

AIO cooler: Need help with this one, idk anything about this stuff but I want a white one. Maybe use the Glacier one 420D30 Idk what the difference is

Fans: Same here, would like the same type from the AIO. If I go with the suggested link above, then pair it with the D30-140 / D30-120

PSU: I would like a 80+ Titanium for the efficiency alone; the quieter this build can get the better

Any other suggestions welcome

[b]AIO cooler:[/b] Need help with this one, idk anything about this stuff but I want a white one.

[b]Fans:[/b] Same here, would like the same type from the AIO. If I go with the suggested link above, then pair it with the [url=https://www.phanteks.store/collections/fans/products/phanteks-d30-140-d-rgb-fan?variant=40264891072567]D30-140 / D30-120[/url]

RahmedI would like your feedback on this pcpartpicker build I've made. Haven't had much experience in any of this, but my requirements are:
  • The Phanteks NV9
  • 7800x3d CPU
  • 240hz @ 1440p Curved monitor
  • As many things white (RGB or non-RGB)

Here are some notes I need help with:

AIO cooler: Need help with this one, idk anything about this stuff but I want a white one. Maybe use the Glacier one 420D30 Idk what the difference is

Fans: Same here, would like the same type from the AIO. If I go with the suggested link above, then pair it with the D30-140 / D30-120

PSU: I would like a 80+ Titanium for the efficiency alone; the quieter this build can get the better

Any other suggestions welcome

I'm not gonna lie, I think your build is actually pretty good for your... annoying requirements. I've spent the last 30 minutes or so trying to put together something that gets more bang for your buck, but after I finally put together my own version of the parts list, it was basically yours but 100 pounds more expensive because I put some case fans in. The only big issue I see is that the Odyssey G7 is known for having QC issues, so just be careful when purchasing and buy from a place that has a good warranty or return policy in case you get a bad batch.

Here's my list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Y433gB
I threw in an extra 2TB M.2 SSD because trust me you will run out of storage a lot sooner than you'd expect. I changed the cooler to one that is pretty much best in its class, and I added some case fans because this is a themed build and what is a themed build if you're only gonna use the 2 rinky dink fans that come with your case?

And here's a build that's just the PC by itself and doesn't follow any of your requirements BUT absolutely slaps for its price: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Czrt9c

I kinda like how the PH-F140D30 fans are like (the ones showcased with the case) but I don't like the aio that has one of them attached. Can I replace the fans on an aio like the NZXT kraken elite with these phanteks fans (with the same sized fans ofc)

Hey very quick and simple question for a friend who's looking to upgrade but can't seem to find an answer anywhere: say you already have a B760 motherboard at hand and need to choose between a 200€ 12600KF and 220€ 13400F, which should you go for? Aggregated benchmarks say that general performance is similar with a slight edge for the 12600KF, but those are, well, aggregated, that is, they don't give info about performance discrepancies with specific types of motherboards. Is there then a chance that the unability to overclock the 12600KF and the possible boost clock limitations induced by the B760 motherboard could lead to the 13400F having >10% more performance on that platform despite being 10% more expensive?

Thanks in advance.

Also side question: is the be quiet! Pure Rock 2 strong enough to cool either of those CPUs? TDP seems fine but idk if I trust Intel on the matter.
