All right, let me help you guys with the thermal paste question because it really is not complicated at all. Better too much than too little because that extra thickness of thermal paste still conducts heat well. Not as good as metal so less good than with a thinner layer but a LOT better than with air (no thermal paste. So yes, better use too much thermal paste as long as it is non-conductive. It can't harm and you won't loose much efficiency with cooling by using too much. Also, in the case of Ryzen take into consideration that Ryzen does NOT have the cores, IO or cache in the center like Intel does. So for Ryzen it is essential that you have proper thermal paste coverage on the side where the cores-chiplet is and where the IO-die is. The IO-die is the big one, that spreads over most of one half on the left side under the integrated heatspreader, the core-chiplets are smaller (7 nm) and are on the right side. In the case of 5800X you only have 1 cores-chiplet (or at least only one functional but probably just one) and that is in the right-top quarter under the IHS, in the first quadrant as mathematicians phrase it.
The heatsink of the tower-cooler will spread out the paste but if you use too little paste then it is possible that you don't have coverage for either the cores or the I/O. Finally take into consideration that AIO's might not have proper coverage at all unless you put those in the correct orientation because most AIO's were made for Intel and not for Ryzen. Wendell from Level1Techs discovered this, if he says it then it is true, right? ;)

It was good to see you guys back in the office building a PC again. I missed this live, but was excited none the less to see this happen.
I also agree with Gordon. Even as an American, I agree with everyone else that calls Soccer - Football. Its a ball that you kick up and down the field with your Foot. Foot. Ball. Football. Done! What we have is basically padded rugby with a few different rules. Granted, yes there is things like the kick off, and a punt, but the main portion of the game is played with the ball in the hand(s, or being thrown forward, or laterally to another player. So maybe it should be called. hand ball?
And! Best way to end a PC build with PCWorld? WITH PIZZA! I'm late to the show, didn't get to enjoy this one live, but I am still happy! The build looks awesome, and hopefully that fan got plugged in!

If only -regular- people could buy GPUs at MSRP.
I would go into debt to be able to buy a high end GPU at MSRP.

Imagine a world in which AMD had gone all out to ramp up GPU production to meet demand, enough GPU production this past year to have kept GPU prices at MSRP and available 24/7 at major retailers.

The only issue I have with the build is that the SSD should have been put on the M_2 slot to take advantage of the heatsink cooling. Where it is at now, it will be cramped and trap heat under the HSF and above the video card. That is a PCIe 4. 0 SSD, it will get HOT. Too hot, and it throttles performance.

GPUz will show if Resizable BAR is enabled, and it isn't called SAM in the BIOS, it's just Resizable BAR or Above 4G Decode, it's not actually called SAM, they just use the Resizable BAR name for it, which is what it really is anyway. But GPUz will show if Resize BAR is enabled or disabled.

Why the fudge is this posted to me as recommended? I can't afford to build a PC, I can barely afford to eat and some months not even that and I bite my nails. Fudge life and fudge all this it seems.

Sorry about the audio problems at the beginning folks, the studio is in shambles so there were some problems getting it back up and running. Clears up at 9: 00!

Greetings! Nice build. I have a question: If I pair a Ryzen 3600 (non XT) with an RX 6700XT, do I have to buy a 750W psu or my 2019 650w psu can handle that?

Would you guys provide a purchase - link - for the nifty little light used to illuminate the inside of the computer case during the build process?

You guys need to come to Detroit, it is a place called Pizza Papalis which is amazing. Chicago has also an amazing pizza but Detroit is even better.
