hey pc world fans adam here with gordon and uh gordon the 5800x3d just came out the 12900 ks is
out there's awesome cpus to go around the gpu prices are are starting to come down i think
right now could be one of the best times to build a pc convince me i'm wrong well i got five reasons
why you really want to wait and i i want to first give the caveat that yeah if you got to build this
now because you need a system or maybe you got money and you need to spend it right now
immediately and you can't spend it in three or six months you you got an awesome choice of hardware
from gpus to cpus all around but but after you hear this list i think you're gonna think you know
what i ain't gonna build my system i'm gonna wait i'm gonna wait okay what's the first reason well
this first one is gonna be earth shattering to people who follow technology and uh new cpus will
be faster wait which new cpus all of them because it's um they make new cpus faster yes i know
you're saying no duh but you know intel's raptor lake it's 13th gen is expected to possibly have
24 cores uh clearly zen four is gonna be one better than zen three and i can guarantee you
that whatever ryzen 7000 which is what i think it'll be called is going to be faster than ryzen
5000 by 2000 in fact it'll be much faster so if you wait the new cpu will be faster yes i
can guarantee you that in fact okay all right well what's the second reason uh this is actually very
a very good one i think is ddr5 ddr5 when it came out with alder lake at the end of last year was
was harder to find than a 3080 right you had an easier time finding two 30 80s in a leprechaun
riding a unicorn it was easier to do that than it was to get ddr5 that meant 32 gigs of ddr5 was
like 1500 when it first came out something insane people were like flipping houses so they could buy
ddr5 well by the time the next generation cpus come out when am5 wins n4 when raptor lake comes
out ddr5 is going to be probably pretty reasonable it's it's already gone from an insane amount of
money when it first came out late last year to now just kind of expensive but you can get uh
32 gigs for you know 300 200 you can get 16 gigs for a couple hundred bucks and these are very very
high clock memory it's only gonna get faster it's only gonna get denser it's only gonna get cheaper
we hope we i can't predict if the aliens land land tomorrow and enslave all of us then yes maybe
memory will go go up but my guess is ddr5 will be extremely affordable compared to when it launched
okay all right what's number three number three pcie 5 ssds right so we have pcie 4 ssds they're
awesome you know maybe 7 gigs a second you know sequential transfer reads you get the pcie 5 next
generation controllers and the next generation nand you could see a pcie 5 potentially be
you know almost twice as fast as a pcie 4 ssd so you're looking at 12 to 13 gigs a second transfer
rates out of a single ssd on pcie 5. that is pretty crazy that's pretty crazy and if you build
now your only option is to buy a pcie 4 ssd okay all right well what's what's number four uh number
four new gpus this is a big deal i mean i love the fact you can actually buy radeon and geforce gpus
now sometimes even under msrp i just looked i just looked entirely under and just looked today they
dip their nose under and they go no i'm going to go back up but they're actually very reasonable
a lot of them extremely reasonable especially compared to what it's been like for 24 months
wind the clock forward six seven months when we get these new am5s and four raptor lake
and you're gonna be looking at possibly g-force you know 4000 is what people hope
you're going to be looking at new radions you're going to be looking at a new player called intel
also hopefully shipping desktop gpus so you got three new lines of gpus possibly
all fighting each with each other for your money as long as you can get them as long as you can get
them and i think you know the trend has been for gpus to get cheaper it's only going to get cheaper
hopefully again unless the aliens land uh tomorrow but zombie apocalypse or zombie apocalypse but
in general it's 80 90 chances that gen that gpus will be faster and cheaper by the end of this year
okay well what's the last reason this last one is is very interesting and it may not
work for everybody but hopefully by the end of this year at least on the back end of the year
we'll finally see atx 3.0 power supplies you can go watch our in-depth atx 3.0 interview with intel
about the new spec and why you might want it but i think there's a really good argument for wanting
to have an atx 3.0 power supply to go with your brand new high wattage gpu and the main reason is
uh it's gonna you'll be able to buy an atx 3.0 power supply that can handle a lot more graphics
card and what that graphics card might do then try to make an old power supply work with it so you
just don't have to have as big a power supply as as powerful power supply if you're going to go the
new spec versus trying to make an old spec and you can't do that if you can't buy them and there are
no atx 3.0 power supplies yet yeah yeah yeah so you add it all up new cpu faster ddr5 faster and
more affordable and more of it pcie 5 ssd faster newer gpu much faster and a power supply that
isn't 1200 watts to run it all adds up to a pretty rocking system that you know what if you can't
wait five or six months i understand but i would recommend that you if you can go the distance
you might just want to wait okay yeah good point good point and i i don't know for me i like
building pcs so you know maybe i won't wait but maybe you will maybe gordon uh made a good uh made
some good arguments for you to wait either way we will see uh stay locked here for all the news all
the latest reviews and information as they come in thank you gordon for trying to convince me on that
did they convince you let us know in the comments and we will see everyone later thank you bye
