Codeht · 1 Jan 2024 at 23:30

Happy New Year Gents,
Hope someone can help and offer some advice.
I want to build a gaming system for my son which will consist of a Hyte Y70 Touch Dual Chamber Mid-Tower ATX Case, I have @£1500 to spend on just the internals, also I want to be able to use it for work and maybe some video editing.

Also what would be better for the above Intel or AMD ?

Any ideas for the components to buy ? All help is much appreciated and Thanx in advance

P.s maybe able to stretch the budget a little bit

Nvidia gpu so you can use cuda for video editing and 12/24 threads again for video editing depending upon what software your using.

Hi dfour,

Thank You very much kind sir, if I were to extend my budget to say £2k what would you recommend to upgrade on ? Also forgot to mention in the original post that I have 2x 2Tb SN770 that I will be using from my Qnap Nas so that would be another £120 to spend from your list.

Eagerly awaiting your response so I can start purchasing

Just a gpu, ram and psu upgrade although all this is going to be wasted if your not playing games in 4K or really high refresh rate 1440p.

1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 4080 Trinity 16GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-13H-ZT) = £1,039.99
1 x NVIDIA - PC Game Pass and Geforce Now Bundle (SKU: DIG-NVI-01340) = £0.00
1 x Thermaltake Toughpower PF3 850W ATX3.0 Native PCIE 5 Fully Modular 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply (SKU: CA-1BQ-TT) = £160.00
1 x Power Cable for Thermaltake PF3 750/850/1000/1200 Power supply (SKU: CB-001-TT) = £0.00

The 4080 is on average 50% faster than the 4070 but its almost 100% more expensive so IMHO isnt very good value.

Evening and Thank You.
I will speak to my son and see what he would like to do but I think your first option will be better for him.
I will keep you updated and Thank You for taking the time to help.
Respect and have a great day

If it's a gaming build, I'm not sure why the 7900 is being recommended over the 7800x3d?

Maybe because video editing is mentioned in the first post.

Gaming system, maybe some editing.
X3d isn't going to be terrible for *some* editing, and will excel at gaming which seems to be the main purpose of the build.

I would go for the 7800x3d while not great video editing compared to the 7900 would still perform like a 7700x and good enough for the average user.

That was my first reaction but the 7900x is only £20 more and would be better for the video editing and other potential work to be done on the pc. Pure gaming build 7800X3d hands down.
