In this segment of the video, the creator discusses selecting the Intel i3-12100F processor for gaming due to its high single-core performance, while noting that more powerful processors would be better for rendering tasks. The video emphasizes that this selection is relevant for the current year, with potential updates if future games start utilizing multi-core processors more extensively.
The segment then explains the concept of a bottleneck, where an imbalance of power between components like the CPU and GPU can lead to suboptimal performance. To avoid bottlenecks, components need to be power-compatible.
Next, the video shifts focus to choosing a graphics card, discussing the two major manufacturers: AMD and Nvidia. Nvidia’s RTX series offers advanced technologies like Ray Tracing and DLSS, but comes at a higher price. In contrast, AMD’s RX series provides similar performance at a lower cost but is less effective at Ray Tracing.
The video advises using a GPU Benchmark list (found by searching ‘GPU Benchmark’) to find a graphics card within budget. The Nvidia RTX 3060 and AMD RX 6600 XT are both suggested as cost-effective options, illustrating the trade-offs between performance and price in the current market.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the creator discusses the decision to choose the 6,600 XT graphics card over the 3060 due to better performance and lower cost. They investigate potential bottlenecks between the selected 12,100f processor and the 6,600 XT by searching forums, confirming there are no issues. For those purchasing pre-built PCs, the essential components are now chosen, but they stress the importance of having at least 16 GB of RAM. For custom builds, the video demonstrates how to verify component compatibility, such as checking case size and airflow, and suggests searching forums for insights from other users’ builds to avoid issues. They verify a forum-recommended build, align it with their selected components, and advise on what to do if some components are out of stock by seeking advice on forums to ensure compatibility and performance.

In this part of the video, the speaker confirms the compatibility of components for building a gaming PC after consulting a forum and proceeds to purchase them from affordable stores. The next steps include either self-assembling or taking them to a technician. The gaming PC assembly is completed. The focus then shifts to building a rendering computer, optimized for tasks like video editing, photo editing, 3D modeling, and content creation.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of a processor with high multi-core performance for rendering tasks, explaining how multiple cores significantly expedite rendering times compared to single-core performance. For selecting a processor, the speaker demonstrates using Google to find a Cinebench multi-core benchmark list to choose a budget-friendly processor, exemplified by the selection of the 10-core 12600KF.
00:12:00
In this segment, the video focuses on selecting a graphics card, emphasizing the advantages of Nvidia cards, specifically their Cuda cores, for tasks like video editing and 3D rendering over AMD cards. The host provides a step-by-step guide to choosing a suitable Nvidia card using the Vray GPU Benchmark list on benchmark.com, settling on the RTX 3060 TI due to budget constraints. The importance of verifying component compatibility on forums before purchase is highlighted to avoid issues. Lastly, the video mentions a common issue called coil whine, which produces a buzzing sound under load but doesn’t affect performance. The segment concludes with a reminder to like or dislike the video based on viewer preference.
