The ULTIMATE 1440p Gaming PC Build 2024! 🥳 (RX 7700 XT, Ryzen 7700) | AD

hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to my absolute favorite videos to make price to Performance gaming PCs if you're looking to build yourself a new rig in 2023 and you want to get as much bang for your buck as possible then this is the video for you throughout this video we're going to show you exactly how easy it is to put together your own rig we're going to be showing you some of the parts that we like and maybe some things that could be improved and of course at the end of the video we're going to be showing you those all important gameplay Benchmark numbers so you know exactly how well this thing performs what your money is actually going to be getting you an absolute massive thank you to deep Cole for sponsoring this video let's get our Builder let us Begin by having a look at our chassis and this is one I haven't actually built in before it is pretty new from Deep cor this is the CH 560 digital and the digital actually refers to this thing here because when we remove our side panel that does actually quite neatly have some mesh down the bottom you will see that we actually have this digital readout that can display temperatures and utilization for both your CPU and your GPU the other thing that I really like about this case is that deep Co seem to have actually remembered what 140 mil fans are because I was thinking about this the other day more and more cases are just relying on 120s when an actal fact 140s cuz they're a little bit bigger you don't have to run them as loud to get the same sort of performance so you have three argb fans at the front that are 140s and then one 120 argb at the back and all of this can be found for around about 10517 at the time of filming in the UK which is pretty neat I mean let's be clear this definitely isn't the absolute best cable management you're ever going to see but you do have some straps as standard and everything is pre-rooted for you so for most people unless you're changing out a load of the fans or something like that you just need to plug your components in and you're prettyy much away I assume this front just pulls off I mean that was my fault for being stupid if I did it more carefully that would have been fine so yes you have this mesh on the front but then you can access all of your lovely fans and things here it does look as if they're actually mounted to a bracket as well so if you do want to swap these out maybe put a radiator then you could just take these off unscrew it and then sort of install your new cooler and put it on as one which is pretty neat but let us properly roll up our sleeves and actually get this build started and we are going to begin as always with the motherboard cuz this is of course the base that everything goes on now this is definitely a more budget friendly build and there are going to be some people fair enough that will say that they want to spend more and get a higher quality motherboard but if you are looking to maximize gaming performance while spending the least amount of money then something like this is probably what you're going to be looking at this is the b560 pro RS from azck and this is one of the more entrylevel motherboards but it is b650 so this is am5 and it does support all of the new am5 CPUs the one that we're going to be using is the 7700 from AMD but you could go as big or small as you like but fundamentally if you do want more features or you do want to go for the top end most power consuming ryzen 99's then yes you probably will want to step up to something else but the chip that we're using here today is the ryzen 77 700 this is an 8 core CPU and its TDP is about 65 wats so this is pretty much a perfect pairing for this motherboard and because it's am5 we can upgrade this at a future date when something more powerful comes out if we need it so let's plop this on top of our motherboard box and open up our slot we'll grab our AMD CPU out of its packet and then we will of course just gently drop this down into position before lowering this back and securing it with the latch saving this for Ron later on because this is an am5 motherboard we will of course need some ddr5 memory and actually this is getting pretty inexpensive now I mean 32 GB you're looking around about 10010 so it's definitely more than it used to be but it is double the capacity which is going to increase your longevity you can go for a 16 GB kit if you want but personally speaking I think it is worth going for 32 just to get yourself that little bit as I say extra longevity and newer games that are coming out will start to take advantage of more memory we just line up the grooves and plop this down down if you're going for AMD try and get yourself an expo kit whereas if you're going for Intel then XMP is what you're after and then of course last but certainly not least we will also need an SSD some storage for Windows and all of the games and again you can save a bit of money if you want you can go for 500 gig but bear in mind a lot of games are like 80 to 100 Gig in size that's like going to be three maybe four games plus Windows doesn't make sense to go for a terabyte or larger if you can especially bear in mind that the price of this has come down massively the exact one that we have here is from Lexar it is the NM 790 and this is a very very quick drive you can go for Gen 4 but as we've discussed in a future video actually I think it's a past video it's live here in the top round corner of your screen they're just not worth it for gaming yet we're going to use this top slot as it does come with a heat sink but if you are using a Gen 5 SSD then you will need to swap this and place it here in order to get that performance but it is very straightforward just make sure you do take this little protective cover off of the little thermal pads so you actually make make good contact then you just line up those screws again and screw it till it's safe and secure it's always worth checking your cooler at this stage just to see how it attaches to your CPU especially if you're going for an air cooler now would be the time to actually Mount this but if you're going for a radiator which we are today the LT 520 all-in-one liquid cooler then you might find that it is easier to do the mounting bit now before it goes in your chassis inside the box you'll find your cooler itself this is a 240 but you can get this in a 360 that I would probably recommend if you're going for a case that does easily support a 360 as it's not that much more expensive and it does give you greater cooling capacity but to be fair with a 7700 a 240 is more than fine we have our high performance fans and then here we have our mounting hardware and this is actually a bracket that's only used for Intel systems it would go behind your motherboard like that and through the back of the board whereas because we're going for AMD it is going to mount slightly differently and it will depend on the coer and the brand that you go for they often have different mounting mechanisms we also have these little noise adapters inside the box that will make your coer A lot quieter without you having to do anything obviously it reduces the fan speed but again with this CPU I think this is probably going to be the way to go the first step of insulation is to remove the default am5 mounting hardware which is just these plastic brackets and screws that are pre fitted to the motherboard in those same holes you can then place the am5 posts and then I think we're ready to actually get this board inside our chassis which is very straightforward just lay it down nice and flat pick up your motherboard make sure that you do you have this little IO Shield that's pre-installed if it's not it will need to go in this little hole at the back but then you just gently line this up with the standoffs you'll find this middle one will sort of catch the motherboard grab your screws that came with a case and then screw this down and then you can pick it back up and admire what is already starting to look like a gaming PC now comes the bit that I think a lot of people are quite intimidated by which is all of the cable management but it is pretty straightforward you've got your USB cables you've got your USB 3 C and A and this is what's actually going to let our case communicate with our motherboard so it does know all of those temperatures analog audio for the front our Master fan cable and then our presumably power and resets power and HD LED to actually get the case to function properly I'll lay this down flat once again so you can actually see what we're doing but here we have our USBC look this connects just here above that we have our USB 3 down the bottom we've got our HD LED and our power switch next to that we have our fan our USB and then finally our HD audio with that the way we can now press on to our cooler and I think this actually bit should be pretty straight forward really cuz there's plenty of room here but I would always advise doing a bit of a test fit which is where you just grab your radiator you put it in the position where you think you want it and then you just make sure everything lines up and fits so we are going to have this as an exhaust at the top but hold this upright grab your fan have it so it's blowing into the radiator if you do want to use it as an exhaust and then gently hold it up and have the cable facing that way because then when it actually comes to screw this down you know you're not going to do it in the wrong order because as we know the amount of times I it up do it wrong have the cables facing the wrong way because it is kind of difficult to think inverted when you're doing it like this I don't hate radiators today just when they're complicated we get our splitter and low noise adapters plugged in and then it should just be a case of fitting it down really our dust filter removes let's get this fitted and secure just a bit of a heads up by the way and some feedback to deep call I'm not entirely sure why they've done this but if you look at the top of this chassis you'll see that the 120 fan mounts kind of run out on this side so I've had to go through the mesh on the top that doesn't actually seem to matter but I don't really get why it kind of stops here when you have the 140s maybe this is like a structural thing for the mesh but it's essentially made putting this 240 in the middle just a little bit more tricky so be advised you have to use some of your own holes so to speak if you're going to copy this appro but let's plug our coer fans into this CPU head at the top that says CPU fan 2 we then need to get our little pump head ready and you can see we have this thermal paste pre-applied once you've removed this bit of plastic please don't touch it cuz obviously it will ruin everything and you have to replace it manually it's very easy to smudge just use the screws provided to get this nice and safe we'll take this little cover off just to make it a bit easier and then our pump should just line up with our holes with these four screw nuts used to secure it down into position and I believe with that it should just be a case of popping this on oh I've done it upside down in my defense most cool is you have it like this all right I know I'm stupid right has he done it right this time yes there you go co is on properly now I guess you could have this anywhere you wanted it's just that the logo obviously won't look quite as good and then there you are CP caller installed I mean this is definitely a more attractive one it's all about performance and looks but if you do want to save more money then for pretty much half the price of this you could get something like the ak400 ak600 CPU callers that are air callers and then you'd have not quite the same level of performance would certainly vary and it would look very different but as I say would save yourself some money and give you better bang for the buck and the penot piece of this gaming PC size puzzle is the power supply and I will say that there is actually a newer version of this I will leave links along with links for everything actually featured if you do want to check out current price in the description down below but this is the PQ 1000m the newer one does actually have P Gen 5 or atx3 support so if you want to go for like a new Nvidia GPU that uses the 12vt high power connection then you'll be able to do this natively without an adapter so that's why deep Co have actually changed that but otherwise I think they're pretty similar they're both 80 plus gold rated and the M standing for modular means you don't need to muck about with cables you don't actually need in your build you'll see that inside the Box you have your power supply itself all of your modular connections around the back and obviously power goes in that side and then in the other compartment of the Box you have your Spaghetti Junction all of the cables from where I've actually used this before and not put them back very neatly let's plug in our motherboard ATX Setter for the case lighting and display our PCI connections for the graphics card and usually I'd say our CPU as well but actually I'm want to do this in the reverse order which is to plug this in first right here at the top left fiddly but doable then you can just tuck this around the other side and then we can proceed to actually get this in our case fan of course facing downwards but do make sure that you do plug this CPU Connection in few screws then you can plug your ATX in to the motherboard plug our SATA Connection in for this little Hub at the top connect the RGB cooler to the RGB case lighting and then of course we're ready for the final piece of the puzzle I probably shouldn't have thrown that CU that is actually in the Box the graphics card and I'm going to start by saying this is not a solid recommendation in fact I've actually got on the record and say that this is a pretty pointless GPU so why on Earth am I mentioning it in this video well two reasons firstly cuz I know people are going to be interested in the 7700 XT to see its performance but then also because we have already started to see the prices on this Dro quite considerably I saw one of these for about £425 or so and at that price it is definitely worth considering because this is not a bad product at all but for about £50 more RRP you can get an extra 4 GB of V Ram with the 7800 XT and quite a lot more performance so this is not necessarily a recommendation it's not saying stay away from it it's saying pay very close attention to the pricing because the value of this product is going to change depending on when you're watching this so for RRP no I wouldn't pick this up but if you can get it for a fair bit less then suddenly it is quite attractive as for the exact GPU that we have here this is one from Power color this is the hellhound you do have some lighting on it but it's a little bit more understated it's quite blue I quite like it but obviously there are other brands and things to consider as well but we've now slotted this into our system we just need to secure it down so connect up the power cables and then you can just use this GPU sag bracket just to give it a little bit of a prop up but once you've done that you should see our system is now complete and ready to go but otherwise I think that is a pretty cool looking system it's nice it's jet black in terms of cable management around the back I haven't done any yet but there are plenty of places to stuff cables if you're a stuffer I reckon we've got room for us stuffers here oh all right maybe I need to do a little bit no we got it we got it little bit of Bulge okay I'll tidy that up later but there we are our completed system it's nice it's neutral but I think having this little display here is going to let the whole thing pop and obviously once we get this turned on loads of RGB as well let's get this thing turned on though and see if it works by of course grabbing our PC Centric mouse mat link to this is down below alongside our keyboard and our Mouse we should all be good to go so let's hit that power button satisfying as always and then watch the whole thing come alive and hopefully give us a display on screen and it definitely is a very attractive system I mean there is a lot of lighting going on here so I would try and synchronize some things especially with this blue GPU to get everything to match but it's a nice neat and tidy size the case was very easy to build in you have loads of control for RGB and those default case fans are giving you fantastic value for money and of course you have your little temperature readout that we be testing in just a sec but I think we have some action yes that's more promising come on show me some windows I've got it pre-installed on this SSD that's what I'm talking about fast forward a couple of hours and I'm really pleased to say we've had some excellent news and that is I've now eaten I've had lunch we had some Indonesian fried rice from yesterday and it was marvelous but perhaps more importantly our system is now all set up and ready to go to get this little display to work work it really is like this tiny little application called Deep call digital original name and you can choose between having your CPU and your GPU utilization and temperatures or have it on a cycle like we do here where it flicks between the two and it is pretty easy lightweight it'll run in the background and you always know at a moment's glass what's going on but let's jump into the games to kick us off we're going to begin with a brand new game in our library this is some for spoken and this has a little party trick up its sleeve they use is direct storage we click continue and we count to like 1 and a half two and then you see that the game loads and you might be thinking oh this is all preloaded this is cheating well if we load it in again press enter and we're back I mean if all games did that how incredible would this be but let's proceed to go ahead and actually walk you through some frame rate then shall we so I admit I haven't really played much of this because this is a AMD title that they gave out to test FSR 3 and we're currently running this at 4K resolution I mean the graphics in this game to be fair are absolutely insane and we've got an okay frame rate and this is kind of what the limitation is going to be for this graphics card if you're wanting to play the absolute latest and greatest to play titles at the highest quality presets then you are going to be not disappointed but if you're playing on a 4k monitor it's not really the right GPU it's not going to quite Excel here but if we do go into the settings we find our Graphics options and there are a couple of things here besides the actual settings themselves that we can change the first one really being FX super resolution 3 we can change this down to balanced as this is running at 4K and we can also turn on frame generation I want to see what this is going to look like without actually just by turning down that raw resolution we've got an extra 10 frames a second or so here however if this was an Nvidia card they'd be tating their DSS frame generation technology and this is what FSR frame generation wants to match so if we turn this on I'm expecting that the game won't feel any better in fact it might feel not quite as nice because we're getting extra latency but the frame rate should increase a lot and yeah there you go have a look at that we're now sitting at about 84 to 100 frames a second which is actually pretty insane I mean a game like this is going to work really well for actually because it's not relying on like really fast reactions or something like that and it does of course smooth it out and if you have a high refresh rate monitor you are going to be able to take full advantage of this just be aware that it's not going to magically save your frame rate realistically if you are getting about 50 frames a second before then the game is still going to feel uh at least by moving the mouse around the accuracy if you like and the input lag that's the phrase I'm looking for is going to be anywhere from remaining about the same to being slightly worse so for this it's fine but you probably still are going to want to play at 1440p so I mean let's do exactly that and what is that going to do to the frame rate well quite clearly a lot we're now getting about 140 150 FPS but of course we are inside when you go outside it will be different but the main thing is that the game now feels a lot more responsive and if you were going to be playing at 14 40p I think you'd be really happy with this actually this is a great way to play and it does show that FSR 3 while there aren't many games that support this at the moment is definitely a technology to watch let's press on to our next game shall we some Apex Legends and let's kick off at the 4K resolution with everything set to high other than I think Sunspot Shadow detail that's at very high rather than high and as you can see we're currently getting a pretty Astron iCal frame rate at 4K of over 100 FPS and this is why I say this might not be the most powerful graphics card and the value is probably going to be in spending a little bit more on that 7800 XT but for something like Apex Legends you don't actually need it so what is the point I mean I'm not sure an extra 20 30 FPS would particularly help me in this exact situation oh I've only got one weapon this is going to be bad oh w w wo wo wo yeah yes get in but of course in a multiplayer title you're probably not going to be playing this at 4K resolution and as such we have now turned this down to 1440p and here you can see an astronomical difference to the frame rate we're now getting about 200 maybe 210 frames a second in Apex Legends at 1440p but because the frame rate is so high in this if you wanted to splurge and go for a 1440p 240 HZ monitor it certainly is possible here right next title let's do this also some multiplayer some Halo infinite and let's do it this is actually my favorite map we're running this at Ultra presets and at 4K so once again not really the settings I personally would use but it's good to see the extent of what this system can do actually to be fair I mean oh that was unlucky wasn't it that was unlucky and to be fair around about 80 frames a second or so is still really smooth I mean this is better than what You' get on Console by quite some margin actually CU yes you can use 120 HZ modes but obviously the resolution will suffer but of course what we can do is lower this down to 1440p to give you a more realistic resolution for this level of Graphics so there we go we've turned that down and now what's that we're currently looking at about 100 frames a second or so so I still think it would be nice for them to actually add FSR or obviously deals s xxs to the game because I think it would help out a lot of people but still around about 100 frames a second at ultra settings the easy fix would be to turn this down if you're going to be playing competitive but if you do want to play the campaign then obviously you can turn that up and just have a slightly lower frame rate but yeah on the whole this is a fantastic way to play Halo I don't think anyone's going to have any complaints with this to be honest with you it looks great it runs well and ultimately if you need more frame rate it is quite easy to achieve that but let's now take this opportunity to move on to a title that is a little bit different some Diablo 4 obviously still a multiplayer title but this is one of those weird sort of crossovers where it's both single player and multiplayer at the same time and it is still quite demanding this is running at 4K Ultra and as you can see our frame rate isn't really dropping below 60 so this is pretty much bang on the money especially if you have free snc or if you're on Invidia gsync but actually if we go into the settings this is another title that does support AMD FSR I wouldn't really want to run this at anything below quality cuz I think you will start to notice it even at 4K but here we can see we have now increased our frame rate by around about what's that about 15 20 FPS and to be honest the game still looks virtually identical and it's also another one of those games that if you say playing this at like 1080p 1440p you've got loads in house then I would actually probably limit the FPS and just save yourself a load of power and maybe potentially less noise but on that subject this PC is one of the quietest I've built in a long long time I mean I have tuned it but listen to this like even with it on your desk running pretty much flat out next to us it's still not really doing anything at all and a lot of this is down to the combination of a graphics card that is pretty efficient has three fans and then of course our CPU Cooler with those low noise adapters that don't really need to go too crazy cuz we've gone for a very efficient CPU so yeah all in all I'm actually pretty impressed but the question does go out to you on this one what do you make of our gaming PC is this the right sort of sweet spot was this price to Performance or were there some changes that you think you would make yourself I mean all I'd say is do consider the cheaper calling options maybe use the stock caller for a bit upgrade it later or just buy an air coer and forgo the all-in-one but of course is entirely all down to you your needs and your preferences if you
