Insane $4000 Gaming PC Build 2023! 😄 [ft. RTX 4090 & Ryzen 7800X3D!]

what is up guys welcome back to another geekart video in this one I'm going to be building the ultimate 4K gaming PC build with an RTX 490 some high-end ddr5 memory and some of my favorite case and calling components presently on the market in this one I'll be walking you through all the parts that make this build possible and why I chose the components I did how to put it together step by step from start right through to finish before looking at performance a little bit later to make sure a high-end build like this gives you the performance that you deserve for the amount of money that it's going to cost you because spoiler alert is quite expensive let's do [Music] this into the AO [Music] save big this Black Friday with corsair's range of great offers you can save up to 30% on their hs80 headset lineup for high-end gaming audio and also find great deals on their keyboards and mice such as 29% off the K100 air for my UK viewers and 20% off the m75 air in black for my us viewers Plus Great savings on CPU callers cases PSU memory and more including great products in the alato range means there's something for everyone check out all the build and the coret web store Linked In the description below the idea behind this build today is to be perfect for 4K gaming and the parts have been optimized for just that gaming if you want to do some video editing or rendering there's a few tweaks that you can make along the way and I'll explain what those look like as we go for now though let's start off by looking at the CPU motherboard and all those other core components these are the parts that we can get installed now outside of the case while things are still nice and easy to access now CPU wise I've gone for a 7800 x3d which is going to pair up really quite nicely with this the x670 plus Wi-Fi a tough gaming motherboard that should go a good way to matching the GPU choice later x670 is one of my favorite platforms right now as you go right through from the low-end ryzen 57600 a chip that costs sometimes under $200 right through to the top end 7950 x3d my CPU of choice though the 7800 X3 is by far the best of the stack for gaming in fact I'd go as far to say based on our Tes in this is one of the best gaming CPUs full stop now you do only get eight cores and 16 threads so it's hardly a multi-thread Powerhouse higher core workloads will prefer something like aizon 9 or even Intel's new core i7 14th gen options what you do get is incredibly High clock speeds and a boatload of al3 cash I mean this thing's got like three or four times the cash of its equivalent non-3d counterpart an amd's 3D Tech basically Stacks the cash on top of each other giving us way more bandwidth and the CPU way more space to store those instructions that it can access of course much quicker than on the memory talking to which not to slam memory I've got this Dominator titanium kit from corset it's one of their first editions you can read our review over on the website card section up here it's a little bit overkill for this build I'm not going to lie but it is an absolute Beauty take a look at there's lots of layers to unpack give me a minute then take a look at this oh yes so it's got an interchangeable top plate where we can switch it out for a side RGB or a top non RGB look you get these sort of copper replace B Ms if I can call them that which just provide a slightly different aesthetic Edge for something a bit more unique it's not a cheap kit of memory and if you're looking to optimize the cost in this build you can do so by swapping this out for a slightly more affordable kit but I'll link latest pricing and availability of everything down in the description below and of course you might even be able to bag yourself a cheeky Black Friday deal or two to help bring the price down that little bit further the final component to talk about that's going to be installed into the motherboard is the SSD now I've sort of broke the Corsair theme slightly to go for the SE Gate fire Cuda 540 that's because this is one of the best gem4 mvme drives we've had hands on with and actually we've dealt with quite a few so far 10 gbes a second on the read and the right for this drive to get plenty of super fast storage the 530 and other topend Gen 4 drives top out at about 7 GB a second by comparison not exactly slow but this is much quicker still and this is one of the only drives we've seen so far without a built-in heat signal take a look at this xpg drive I reviewed a few weeks ago it's got a fan on it so loud it's a nightmare this by comparison is Serene and far smaller it is a little bit slower than some of the other G 5 options for this reason but still plenty fast enough for what we want and of course gives us a nice boost over the Gen 4 drives indeed that it replaces and that is of course where this comes in alluded briefly to it earlier asus's tough gaming x670 one of the more affordable x670 boards actually but as I say fits with the theme that we're going for and it still gives us all the features connectivity that we could want PCI G 5 Wi-Fi and of course ddr5 support as standard with all am5 CPUs the first Port of Call is the CPU so just lift up the arm on the socket pull up the socket cover itself as well can be a little bit fiddly as you can see and then drop the processor in I recently did a really detailed video about how you can build a gaming PC got all the details about cables and wiring into and you can check that out in the card section now the Dominator titanium memory is of course next up I'm not always sure about this two-tone sort of Gray black aesthetic however in this build whereby the tough graphics card has gray accents the ram dim slots themselves are gray I think it does work and of course some a little bit different we're fed up of all black memory kits dominating The Market m.2 Drive is next to do this simply remove the PCI G 5 m.2 heat shield that's this thing right here you want a smaller screwdriver for this as that's of course going to allow you to remove it then slide the drive in kind of at a 45° angle push it down and just add this little plastic retention clip into place return the m.2 heat shield little something like so couple of screws just to fasten this down and keep the drive cool and we're all basically done installing at m.2 Drive is just one of those things that's got so much easier recently love to see it there is one more component I am going to look at while the motherboard is out of the case and that is quite heavy is the cooler now this is cor's not brand new but pretty new IQ h150i LCD but it's IQ link rather than normal IQ now James what does that even mean what is actually kind of cool so this is a digital solution so rather than taking all the cables from all the fans and plugging them up to a hub you basically put one cable and connect all the devices together sort of like when you daisy chain something but rather than being an analog connection where one device passes a signal to the next it's a two-way street so all the data comes back and forth and what it means is that you can't just daisy chain the fans you can daisy chain everything including things like the water Block it's really really very clever you'll see that this version differs to the one we've looked at previously ly as it has a screen on which is really really nice is it cheap not particularly but it is of course a little bit more special and I like that the IQ link controller is super super Diddy especially compared to the old ones it replaces you just plug in this end to all of your devices and then this goes to your PC via USB cable would like to see a USBC connection here if I'm being picky for the future we have the cooler itself it's a bit of a chunky boy if I'm being honest with you all the fans come pre- installed which is a bit of a trend recently we looked at the Leon Le Galahad 3 recently that did the same thing this is a system they haven't fully rolled out yet but it's getting there and I'd imagine within the next 12 18 months Corsair will just everything will be IQ link or you'll have IQ link versions of every product available by the looks of things all we need to do is add these four metal posts around the CPU itself so they just go straight into the silver holes from the built-in AMD CPU back plate so it utilizes the features already available on the motherboard for this step it's one advantage actually of am5 over Intel's options you tend to have your Moun in for the CPU with less step shall we say for the installation process then you also get some updated brackets which are going to slot over these and go around the CPU Cooler itself I don't want to add them onto the cooler just yet as this plastic is protecting the built-in thermal paste so I'm going to do that afterwards once we're actually ready to install the whole cooler stop dropping things so I'm going to move this into the case Choice which is where this comes in it's a bit of a classic at this point but one of my favorite chassis you can buy it is of course the 5000d airflow they do an IQ version which is glass panel up the front which is kind of nice but it does restrict air flow and I would prefer for this build to have higher air flow especially given the 7800 x3d run hot having mesh at the front is going to Aid the cooler massively and just help to keep a bit of a lid on the temperatures for this I'm going to lay the case down flat line up the motherboard and get the motherboard screwed in the race standoff just here actually holds the whole board so screwing in the remaining eight standoffs is actually pretty easy all the screws and stuff you need are included in the case box as well so if you're wondering where to find them that's where once those eight screws are in the motherboard is pretty much good to go and the cooler is next as far as where I'm going to mount it I was originally thinking the front of the case but because of the pre-installed fans it kind of makes sense to go at the top and I can just put some extra IQ link fans at the front that's obviously going to provide us plenty of exhaust as well and keep the air coming into the case as cool as possible for the GPU and with a 4090 that can be pretty beneficial these just use the same screws as the motherboard in this case you can put anywhere from the full 12 screws in to six eight screws it doesn't really matter we just want to make sure the whole thing is nice and secure and nice and tight this is then the point I'm going to remove the plastic cover and then take off the brackets of the cooler and replace them with the AMD ones they don't look all that dissimilar to be totally honest with you but they are trust me different and of course the size that we need then the cooler is going to go in I think like this orientation let's go on the left hand side I think that's a slightly cleaner install and if we have to swap it later we can do but it looks to me like those tubes should stay out of the way then with the thermal paste already applied just got to drop in some thumb screen screws this is the really fiddly bit that is so hard to explain I think the best way really is just to show it or to do it rather than try to explain it get all the thumb screws on nice and loose basically you don't need to get these particularly tight for now we just want to actually hold the cooler in and once all four are in position then you can go ahead and get them all nice and tight so that the cooler makes good contact with the CPU itself really that simple looking good I'm really liking how that's going to look I am going to add an additional four RGB fans into the case one at the back and three at the front just to make sure the airf flow is all hunky Dory and of course we can connect basically the back fan to the cooler and the front fan to the cooler with a cable each nice and simple so you can see here that the fans themselves sort of magnetically click together and this interface just in this corner here is what's going to provide data and power to the fan you can see that when I actually then go to install the fan itself is a simple case I've dropping the whole thing in and a couple of screws just to secure it in place super super simple then all this left ready to do is pop the GPU and the power supply in now the 490 what is there to say that hasn't already been said about this app absolutely Sensational GPU from Nvidia 490 just delivers just the most power of any mainstream desktop GPU the best gaming card on the market and out of the whole Nvidia 40 series stack it's easily my favorite because I actually think that out of all the cards it's the most appealing for a potential buyer it delivers something this competition simply cannot do and as you can see if I hover it over in our build today it actually matches everything really really nicely indeed and you still got a little bit of room so if you want the radiator at the front you could definitely do so bit of a teaser get subscribed in the card section now if you'd like to see us put together a custom Loop 490 we're even going to water cool the GPU oh yeah stay tuned for that one now then what I am going to do is once I've hovered it over check which PCI slots need to remove in unscrew them and Slot this Behemoth of a graphics card into place powering it up with all the cables and wiring needed is the next step of course with the power supply and then the build is kind of done the Corsair RM 1000e is going to fulfill that job nicely now you get 1,000 watts of power you get a fully modulate interface meaning you only basically plug in the cables you actually need to and it has I believe PCI gem 5 cable that we need for of course the graphics card he says that not actually sure now so the motherboard cable standard PCI connector we don't need that one other standard PCI connector another standard PCI connector ah here we go the new gem 5 connection it just has gem 5 on one end and then the older type four cables on the other and then of course our CPU power cables have we got a pair yes we have so that's sort of a Whistle Stop tour as to all the cables and the motherboard cable of course that we're going to need the rest and all the spars can go in the bag and back in the box and with that the build's pretty much good to go power cables are all in for the GPU motherboard and CPU might swap them out for some PSU extensions but let's boot this thing up see how good it looks and then jump into benchmarks in a few moments [Applause] [Music] time [Music] moving through into performance and this build performs exactly as you would expect from a high-end 4090 powered system take Call of Duty's Modern Warfare 3 at 4K as an example High settings with dlss tuned up to Quality and the build pulled in over 200 frames per second 225 fps to be precise with consistent 90 and 99% High results too even Starfield at 4K High settings perform well 883 f PS on average with 90 and 99 percentiles in the region of 77 and 65 FPS as always all the frame rate data was gathered using MSI afterburners reever tuna and Nvidia frame view Hogwarts Legacy at 4K turns up the anti further High settings and the build achieved just over 100 FPS on average with a 101 average in our testing of Hogwarts Legacy move through into war zone 2 4K high with dlss enabled and set to the Quality preset once again dlss of course enabled at quality in pretty much all of our testing nowadays were available and the build achieved 137 FPS on average you can see that this is a system that really pack serious Firepower and if you'd like to learn more about exactly how it performs check out our write up of this build Linked In the description below on our RTX 1490 review also available in the card section now thanks for watching and as always we'll see you in the next one
