Insane $2500 Gaming PC Build 2023! [RX 7900 XTX & Ryzen 7800X3D w/ Benchmarks]

what is up everyone welcome back to another geeka video and today I'm feeling very excited because I'm finally about to build an all white 7900 XTX gaming PC build this is a build that's been in the planning for I can't even tell you how long and I'm so excited to actually put it together today awesome for 4K gaming it's going to look sick and hopefully provide some pretty good value in the process it is of course not a cheap build but it isn't excessively expensive either and goes to show that you can achieve strong 4K gaming performance without spending a fortune let's do [Music] this I'm going to split this video down into a few key sections first I'm going to look at all the parts that I picked and why and also provide some alternative choices second I'll put the whole system together step by step so we can see what goes right and probably what goes wrong and then I'll look at the performance a little bit later once we've booted it up sorted the BIOS the drivers windows and all that fun stuff so let me begin with really the Beating Heart of this build the part that we've been trying to get a hold of for so long this is a power color H Hound Radeon RX 7900 XTX White Edition this is basically amd's topend GPU from their rdna A3 lineup 24 gigs of vram pretty solid R tracing performance and insane straight rasterization performance with power Cuts how Hound cooler in white in fact we tried so hard to find this I eventually ordered it from overclockers here in the UK I'll leave the link to where I bought it from down below it's a beauty three fans RGB a white shroud it would be better if the heat sink was white but I'm not going to complain fully white back plate with a couple of silver accents but primarily white even got white PCI Lane that was rude even got white PCI Lane covers this thing is so stunning and I'm just utterly in love with it so very very excited for that I'm going to be pairing it up with the Asus Prime x670 Pro it's one of of the cheaper x670 boards but has a lot of white and silver accents a lot of the black parts of the board are going to be covered and our white memory is going to slot in just here and look beautiful talking of which I've gone for something a bit different I've got this this is the xpg Lancer 2 32 GB kits now if you're just building this for gaming the one Kit's going to be totally fine I'm going to pop two in just to fill all those random slots and give us 64 gigs of ddr5 6,000 megga transfers a second and a cast latency of 30 40 40 makes it pretty good and it supports Intel XMP 3 and AMD Expo so you've got all those memory overclocking profiles you could possibly dream of xpg also kindly sent over there gamix S70 blade is a PCI gem 4 SSD this is a 1 tby drive but to be honest the 2 tab might make sense for some of you depending on the size of your steam libraries and all that good stuff CPU wise we got the ryzen 7800 x3d I've used this chip so many times this is another part that when it first launched you struggled to get hold of and for good reason it's Sensational insane single thread insane multi- thread great overclocking performance eight cores 16 threads boost to 5 GHz isn't too power consumptive and has amd's 3D stacked cache which basically alleviates the biggest botton neck of any modern gaming CPU which is of course the cash while it doesn't consume loads and loads of power it isn't the world's coolest chip in the world which is where the IQ h150i Elite capellic XT comes in I have stuck with sort of a Corsair ecosystem Corsair case power supply cooler the reason being is we can then control everything nice and easily in Corsair IQ apart from the memory but we'll look at how that's controlled later that would just allow us to tie in The Wider General build aesthetic this is the refresh version with this cool little triangle patterns and it's got XT on the end if I'm being honest with you all you don't need the XT version but if you can get it and it doesn't cost too much more then why not as far as power supplies go I picked up the rm850 this is going to be fine for the 7900 XTX this particular card only has two eight pin power connectors so definitely don't need to go for 1,000 or 12200 Watts that is the one thing that both AMD and to their credit Nvidia should be really really commended for and that's how power efficient the new gpus are yes you can buy a lash gen card on the lower end to save money but the new cards sip so little power compared to their last generation counterparts that's pretty much all the parts in the bag apart from the case this is pretty special as well this is basically the Corsair 4000d airflow but better Corsair added the white accents rather than the gray that you get on the normal 4000d airflow and they swapped out the two crap fans that you get included sorry Corsair with four white ql editions that's basically their highest end fans or at least their highest end non IQ link fans they look Sensational you've got RGB in the hub and around the Outer Circle of the fan on both sides they're insane and to get those four fans included with a case like this is actually phenomenal value I'll link everything mentioned today though down in the description below if you'd like to learn more or buy any of the bits I think I've made a bit of a mess so let me Begin by tidying up and installing everything into the motherboard first of all it's time to really see what the prime x670 Pro Wi-Fi is made of when you're installing things into any motherboard the best thing to do is just take the motherboard out the box and pop it back on top of the box we're going to use this kind of as our work space I suppose for everything motherboard related while we're here let me show you a few cool things about this Asus board we've got this nice little push clip here which actually does the PCI latch that means you haven't got to snap it or try and get in there with the screwdriver the io on the rear is also pretty good 2 and a half gig ethern air USBC usba Wi-Fi 6C takes a lot of boxes PCI generation 5 support for both the graphics card slot and the m.2 slot we're only using G 4 drives and graphics cards in this build but for a little bit of and I don't like using this word future proofing going to be totally fine first Port of Call I think is opening up the CPU and getting this installed into the motherboard this video isn't kind of intended to be a full tutorial right if you want to learn more about how to install a CPU you can read our web articles down in the description below I'm going to lift up the arm though reveal the socket then of course go ahead and drop the ryzen processor into place bit of a wiggle arm down cover down plastic off Chuck it out the window don't actually Chuck it out the window keep it in case you ever need to RMA the board or anything like that I'm going to pop the m.2 SSD in next so to do that I need to remove the m.2 heat cover which will reveal the m.2 drive sort of slot itself that's where the GX S70 blade is going to go now if we take a look at the drive in the Box you see there is the drive itself on the bottom and then the actual heat shield heat cover on the top now we're not going to use that because of course we're using the inbt one on the as's motherboard in this system so pop the cover down add the little latch back into place and then return the heat shield nice and simple couple of screws and that's going to ensure that doesn't go anywhere and make sure everything is installed nice and easily and of course stays nice and cool we don't want an overheating SSD do we now Ram is then the next Port of Call as I say I got two boxes worth of memory for this build 32 gigs is going to be fine though if you're just doing a standard gaming system but this memory look at that I can't even begin to tell you how much I love some of the white Ram kits on the market right now they really really do make me very happy what I'm going to do is pull back the clips on I was going to say the gray slots because I'm used to installing two dims it's not it's all four slots today cuz we're balling in memory Baby Pop the uh RAM on the inside slot Boom the second slot kachow I've got to think of enough buzzwords now as I do each dim of memory third dim oh dear bam and then the last dim right so then in please don't turn off it's not normally like this on the channel memories in oh wow look at that see oh isn't that a beautiful motherboard assembly one more thing I'm going to do is just add a couple of posts in for the CPU coer they go here here here and here and provide us a little bit of ground workor for when we actually pop the main cooler itself in in a couple of minutes time the next step is to pop the whole thing into the case I love this case you might think James isn't this a little bit compact for a kind of imposing build like this with a large GPU 360 mil rad well I have measured everything and according to my approximate calculations it should all fit he says the reason is I want to make a powerful build but I don't really always want it to be absolutely massive I think sometimes that kind of takes the fun away and I also appreciate that not everyone wants a huge build on their setup but they still of course want it to be powerful and great in the latest titles so I'm going to lay the case down flat for the next stage and then go ahead and Slide the motherboard in the rear iio should poke through the rear rear iio cutout there we go the central post will then help line the with the board up and it's just a case of a few screws three along the top two along the middle actually cuz we've got the center stand off and then three down the bottom that's looking pretty good the next Port call is to get this Radiator in now this case supports either a 240 mil at the top or a 360 mil at the front and of course the bigger the better our Rising CPU could do with the 360 mil I'm going to remove the front panel and then also going to just take out this dust filter and then this is where things get a bit laborious I need to actually remove every single screw on all the fans not because the fans are changing but because I need to mount the radiator behind them which means installing a longer screw through the fan and into the radiator I say laborious it's not that that much of a problem but that's going to of course allow the rad to be installed you might then think James what am I going to do with these additional spare fans that I've got well we can actually put two of them at the top of the case so we're going to have one spare if anyone wants a fan then let me know in the comments down below anyway so radiator is going to go to the front few screws to do that and then the next course of action is the water Block it's finally time then to pop the GPU in the bit that I've been so excited about now what we're going to do is take the graphics card and sort of hover it over the PCI s you can see it does just about fit and you can see here that we need to remove the second third and fourth PCI slots that's going to make room of course for the rear panel this is a pretty chunky triple slot card so that's going to make sure there's enough space for it to basically go in slide it in line it up with the slot give a bit of a push yes nice and the three thumb screws are going to go back into secure it into place I'll add the power cables in just a moment as I install the power supply cors say's rm850x and there we have it it's build I'm so happy with it I put some easy DIY Fab cable extensions in as well it just looks amazing I'm so please so let's go ahead and install Windows see if it boots all of that jazz and then we'll give it a go in some gaming [Music] Benchmark I'm sure you can all agree that this is one good looking build but how well does this White theme system with the 7900 XTX actually perform the answer is pretty well war zone 2 was the first game I tested 4K High FSR enabled quality preset delivered 137 FPS on average and 99% our results were consistently strong too but this 137 FPS at 4K gives you competitive frame rates really at this topend resolution I also tested the other end of the spectrum fortnite at 1080p competitive because why not 311 frames per second on average wow no one can tell me that fortnite doesn't perform well on this system and to be honest did it more for a bit of fun than anything else Apex Legends at 4K high was next to 88 FPS on average in this slightly more difficult to run firstperson shooter but still some very competitive frame rates here while call of dy's Modern Warfare 2 remastered at 4K high with FSR set to Quality delivered an impressive 208 frames per second irrespective of what game you throughout this system you're sure to find good performance the whole build stayed cool and ran efficiently I also tried out a bit of Starfield to really see how this quite difficult to run and poorly optimized AAA title would hold up 4K High here and the system delivered 97 FPS on average 90 and 99% results were solid too with pretty consistent frame rates throughout it really was impressive seeing just how strong the 7900 XTX based PC performs you can learn more about this PC all the parts that make it possible down at the first link in the description below thanks for watching though and as always we'll see you in the next one
