"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe CPU motherboard and graphics card are easily the three most important components to get right in your next gaming PC build perfecting this Trio is sure to lead your build to success and ensures you get the performance and frame rates that you're after but with so many options out there how do you pick the right one but in this video I'm going to cover off my favorite options for a range of budgets and resolutions and talk a bit about how you could select the perfect CPU GPU and motherboard combo let's do this the coola master Cube 500 flat pack is a case that lets you do it yourself with support for full-size specs in a compact form factor a highly adjustable design lets you build as you EMB box and it really is like nothing El what's more support for up to eatx motherboards 360m long gpus and a 280 mil AIO up top make it super versatile for the latest components build it your way with the coola master Cube 500 now available in black white and macaron check it out at the first links in the description description below I'm going to be covering a range of different combos for various resolutions and budgets starting with the cheapest and working through to the most expensive so feel free to use the navigation bar below to skip to your preferred section first though why are these three components the most important to get right but simply the motherboard has a huge bearing on the features available in your system some motherboards have Wi-Fi and networking some don't some mother boards have overclocking support some definitely don't while other boards have support for future upcoming CPU use to help future prooof your system while some don't the GPU and CPU are then of course the main drivers of gaming performance the gpus is what's doing all the visual rendering and putting the frames on your screen while the CPU is handling all the complex mathematics that keep the system ticking over the CPU and GPU it's good to get them married up and pick a combo that work well together the whole idea of this video is to stop you from wasting 50 or $60 on a CPU that's not powerful enough or too powerful for the GPU you've gone for to maximize gaming performance of course if you're looking to do video editing or rendering or high-end productivity tasks you want a slightly higher end CPU in each of these combos than I recommend CPU wise you've got two manufacturers to choose from Intel and AMD AMD have got their ryzen 7000 lineup which is perhaps the most popular right now for gamers with their older ryzen 5000 lineup providing a good budget alternative Intel have got the new 14th gen which hasn't been received terribly well and thir 13th gen which was very popular and has good reviews across the board give it us plenty of choices GPU wise you've got three players nowadays AMD Nvidia and Intel Intel are newer to the game but have some promising options on the budget end there's just a few caveats with Intel Arc at the moment which we'll come on to AMD have got a pretty popular Radeon 7000 lineup with their lash gen Radeon 6000 still proving to be a good option while Nvidia wow it's a bit complicated 40 series architecturally that's their latest this lineup is very good 490 amazing rest of the lineup bit overpriced in places but good if you want access to nvidia's proprietary dss3 and rate racing Tech which is still Market leading when compared to that from AMD so let me begin shall we with my budget combo if I was shopping on a super low budget right now what are the parts I would pick on the GPU side the Intel Arc a750 won't be for everybody Intel's driver optimizations just aren't there and as you can see from some of our Tes The RK 750 performs really well in some titles and not so well in others if it was me I would pair this up with something like a ryzen 5 5600x from last generation six scores and 12 threads make it a good shout and a cheap motherboard like msi's b550m Pro vbh is going to get you gaming for 60 or $70 maximum this is a combo that is very affordable within the lowest end of the budget Spectrum I would personally be willing to shop yes you can go a little bit cheaper than this but you're going to see massive massive sacrifices in terms of performance upgradability and just overall longevity Intel art won't be for everybody so amd's Radeon RX 6600 is also worth considering here one of the best budget gpus currently on the market but what if you got a little bit more money to spend if you want a solid 1080p combo that won't break the bank but still delivers good performance and better longevity than my Baseline combo here I would start things off with amd's ryzen 5 7600 as the CPU and pair it up with something like this the tough B 650m gaming plus it's also available with a Wi-Fi variant for CPU and RAM overclocking or if you're shopping on a bit more of a budget consider this azck a620 m Pro RS board this is on the lower end a series chipset it's much more Bare Bones but it still gives you Wi-Fi still gives you your Expo support for your memory you just lose CPU over clocking and it trims down on the connectivity and power delivery GPU wise I'd then add in either the RX 6700 SL 6750 XD the 50 version is very marginally quicker or if you want a next gen option the Radeon RX 7600 now you might be wondering why I've included A Lash gen and a current gen GPU option here the radon RX 7600 is a solid card that delivers nextg performance with great frame rates and fantastic rasterization performance rasterization performance is basically the pure gaming performance without FSR dlss R Trac and any of these buzzwords thrown into the equation but it has one problem it only has a GB of video memory and that's something that for 1440p gaming in particular is going to become a bit of a struggle that's why I'd also suggest considering the 6700 or 6750 and if it was me this is the combo I'd go for the 6700 lineup of cards has 12 GB of video memory meaning for future gaming at 1440p where you're rendering in Far More pixels far more texture info that extra 4 GB of vram is going to be incredibly useful working up the Spectrum a little bit and to be honest with you I'm going to stick with the ryzen 7000 lineup for quite a while the ryzen 57600 as suggested in my previous combo is good but can be improved by opting for the 7600 X you still get six scores and 12 threads but you get higher boost clock speeds with a base clock of 4.7 and a boost of 5.3 you get fantastic single threaded performance on the 7600 X and as many people will be relieved to hear you haven't got to overclock it in order to achieve that awesome single thread as you might on the nonex version of the 7600 stick with something like this b650 M plus there's no need for a high-end X Series motherboard right now especially at these price points and as far as GPU goes add into the equation the radon RX 7700 XT again you get 12 GB of video memory good rasterization performance amds improving FSR and rate tracing Technologies all in a GPU package that comes in at about $449 you might also want to look at something like the RX 6800 XT as an alternate lash gen option here especially if you're shopping on a budget and I've got a Keen Eye for the sales which are always coming up at the moment but I would personally stick with the 7700 XT for that next gen architecture and of course it's fairly reasonable price point if you've got a bit more money to spend and you want to go a little bit further what would I suggest to be the next best options well personally I'd Swap this b650 M plus Micro ATX motherboard out and bringing something a bit larger and a bit more feature packed like the strix BC 650a gaming Wi-Fi and Notch the CPU up to the ryzen 7 7700 X the 7700 X gives you that couple more cores over the 7600 X so while you don't get a massive noticeable Improvement in single thread performance you do get the extra cores great for more productivity oriented tasks and those more recent AAA titles that are more multi-thread optimized GPU I add into the equation the RX 7800 XT one of amd's most recent GPU releases with 16 GB of video memory a fairly compact dual slot if slightly long form factor and superb rasterization performance it beats out the 6800 XT it replaces not by huge margins but by enough to make a bit of a difference and it does so with that high amount of vram that means you're more than good enough for 1440p this is probably the best combo you can build right now for a 1440p oriented gaming PC build now you can go a little bit further and there are some changes you can definitely make to take things up a notch first things first we're going to swap out that ryzen 77700 X for the 7800x 3D amd's 3D lineup of CPUs stack the cash give you way more cash got like a 100 Meg it's crazy which unlocks one of the biggest botton necks on Modern CPUs I'm going to swap out the Rog stricks b650 while adding into the equation a more Baseline x670 eboard unlike Intel AMD are more open allowing overclocking on the X and B chipset motherboards but a higher end board like this will give you more connectivity more features and better overclocking performance crucially with more vrm power phases to push more power to the CPU I would add into the equation something like an RX 7900 XT to go with this higher end combo giving us a highend motherboard an incredibly fast gaming CPU in the 7800 x3d and of course amd's RX 7900 XT now once you get to this kind of level there isn't really much that you can do to the CPU and motherboard to improve performance all the games you're going to achieve here come with the GPU swap the GPU out for a 7900 XTX RTX 480 or even something like an RTX 4090 for top tier gaming performance this combo is really adaptable in that any of these high-end gpus will work well but what if you want the very best performance on offer you want to go for something that's going to give you 4K across the board your budget's virtually unlimited how would I allocate that money the GPU of choice is of course going to have to be the RTX 4090 while Nvidia have really featured at all in my combinations today the 4 D90 is incredible and there is no doubting that AMD simply can't compete even their topend 7900 XTX which is considerably cheaper than the 4090 doesn't deliver 4090 level performance but the CPU I would pick for it kind of becomes a little bit difficult and controversial you might have noticed earlier I mentioned Nel released this new i5 and also a new I9 and i7 chip now that wasn't a launch that particularly got plaits from anyone ourselves including just look at our I 914 900k review not overly positive and that's going to make it sound weird that for this high-end combo I'd suggest a topend z790 motherboard something like MSI Godlike if you want to go Overkill or to tune it down the Maximus hero range from Asus alongside an I9 14900 K or 13900 K let me explain now the 14900 K wasn't really much better at all than the 13900 K but at the same price they still the fastest CPU on the market you can buy right now for super high core counts you're looking like 24 cores and 32 threads crazy and of course the 14900 K comes in with a boost clock speed of over 6 GHz out of the box the noticeable difference between these CPUs is going to be very minimal and I do expect 14th gen to drop a little bit in price in light of the pretty lukewarm coverage but unfortunately AMD just haven't got anything really other than the ryzen 9 7950 x3d that competes with the 14 or 13900 K especially on multicore so a high-end combo go for a top end z790 board an RTX 490 and an I9 13900 K or 14900 K what do you guys think of these combos I'm sure you got your opinions let me know in the comments down below you can check links to everything for Amazon and Newegg they are affiliate links as well in
