I've had such a hard time getting parts at the moment that I thought I was lucky getting a 2200G from CeX to use in a build. It seems like anything other than a few random CPUs and GPUs is pretty sold out right now.
@SnowBallYT Ive loved using the 3100 in builds. But can not snag one for a decent price at the moment. These builds are usually done to quite a strict budget.
@@RandomGaminginHD what would you recommend for someone who has 50-100$ to spend for storage? I want to stick to an HDD for more storage if possible (like if there's a relatively much faster HDD or something) since SSDs are still pretty weak in terms of what they offer at this price point but I don't know what to look for.
I helped my niece build he first PC at the start of lockdown so she could do internet school, she gets games (even free ones) depending on her behaviour & if she does her chores to earn the games, check the Epic free game of the week, they have some good ones every now & then, Rocket League if free now too, GOG (CDProjektRed) has games DRM Free so you can buy on your account & then install on his PC too
Nice. I have the same setup but I did some upgrades. Adding 2TB HDD for games and files will make it much better storage. Last upgrade would be a dedicated GPU.
depends on where you live, in my area if you get anything used you should expect it to straight up not work or die in a few weeks, and if that happens your money is out the drain. Its really not worth the risk

@@quintoblanco8746 To be honest I don't even like dell's warranty at all, and as you said their standards are really proprietary, which results in limited upgradability. This is why I had a hard time finding a good power supply that fits and meets the criteria
@@quintoblanco8746 i mean, upgrading may be hard, yes, but it IS possible. But really, these prebuilds are weird - seen some dells with very good PSUs, and some with shit tier-barely meeting both safety, and power requirements (not sure if you get it, i mean there are PCs with 350w TDP componets, and there is a 350w PSU with that, what shouldn't be done) but all things considered, i would always take an overpriced dell over a shitty eBay "gaming" PC
2:50 I've bought the exact same graphics card. But mine can run Just Cause 4 on 40 FPS (no V-Sync, No Anti-Aliasing, No Ambient Occlusion, 720p, But Very high graphics on every other.)
Consider going used. I just picked up an i5 4440, 8gb ddr3 and a motherboard bundle for $120 today, and while older, the i5 has 4 cores and will perform better in some games over the 3000g. I'm pairing it with an RX 480 I got for $130 second hand, and the PC should offer reasonable performance for $250. Dell Optiplex machines with i5 CPUs can be found for $100-150 US depending on amount of ram and hard drive capacity. Throw in a new psu and used graphics card like the RX 470/480, and it'll offer better performance than the athlon and RX 550 for the around the same price.
On the Fortnite part when you questioned on if the stutters were the memory frequency or the CPU, it's most certainly the CPU. Fortnite has shown to dislike dual core. Built my cousin a build that included an Athlon 3000G and 8GB RAM @ 2400MHz (We found out it was only running at 2133 though, fixed that later after we swapped CPUs) and it was a stutter fest at the most important fights. Changed it out to a Ryzen 5 1600AF and it ran as smooth as it should at 144fps also clocked the RAM to 2400MHz and expanded it to 16GB. While it was at 2133 it was just fine, so it really must be the CPU. I think Fortnite is CPU bound so dual is a no-no
NOOOOO DONT BUY AEROCOOL PSU'S PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR LIVES In Russia we even have memes about how shit aerocool PSU's are.They are pure bullshit.Its just typical shitty PSU's but they look nice.And thats it.And 80+ means nothing here,they lose the 80+ standard after a few months.
The Athlon 3000G was bottlenecking the GPU by a lot since it's a dual core CPU. I'm using Asus Arez Phoenix RX550 2GB paired with quad core i5-3450, 8GB 1333mhz dual channel RAM and it gives me 15-30FPS more than what it gave in this video.
That’s like my pc I had one year ago😂 I had a i3 6100 and rx 460 and even Fortnite would lag. Couldn’t even play apex (only at 1080p low with around 50 FPS) But then I finally upgraded to Ryzen 5 3600 and 2060 Super
I just built a very similar build for my son since his PS4 died. The only difference was I used an Athlon 220g instead of the 3000. When I got the 550, I was very disappointed that my gtx 770sc out performed it by a pretty big factor. I would have put that card in the system, but the power supply I used wouldn't support it. It'll do until we eventually get him a PS5, but yeah, stay as far away from the RX 550 as you can.
I can confirm that the Ryzen 5 3400g is very capable as a light to medium gaming solution. My kids have their own system and this APU gets through everything from TABS to Universe Sandbox no problem
Yeah definitely, even a RX460/560 is a big step over a RX550, the 70's are a huge jump that is generally bigger than the price increase if you can afford one
ryzen 3 3100 would have been a great choice for that build. very similar in price. btw that frame time graph is the worst i've ever seen in valhalla and red dead it's all over.🤣🤣
This psu is a good one for the cheap side of things yes cheaping out on a psu can bite you in the ass but I would say this is the cheapist one you can get new that I trust not to burn my house down
@@acid3129 i agree, this psu is decent, when i said that do not buy a cheap psu, i meant those cheap generic ones that has more power in the 5v and 3v instead of the 12v. Usually if it has 80+ certification is good enogh.
that was my second gpu and I had to say it was good for the price. It could maintain a comfortable 60fps in newer titles at low to medium settings. or should i say, me?
I OC my memory to 2933MHz on the MSI A320m-A Pro, just a shame I can't do the same with the CPU until I get a better board. But, Crucial 2666MHz 2x4GB @ £14.88 per stick was a worthy reward for the sacrifice. would've been stuck with single channel had I bought a B450.
I wonder if this PC is better than mine. I have the FX8320 at 3.5GHz, MSI 970 gaming motherboard, Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frozr III 3GB GPU, and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM at 1866MHz. My system runs most games at medium settings (No CPU overclock because I don't have an aftermarket cooler yet). Some games need low settings for better FPS but for the most part it performs good enough for the games I play. Would I recommend my setup? Only if you can get the above parts for a very low price and want a computer now while being on a tight budget. I priced out the above parts on Ebay and it came to a total of $288 with free shipping on all parts. The GPU I found was a 7850 model but is 3GB so the difference in performance versus the 7950 model should be minimal. After buying a power supply and case you would be looking at spending between $350 and $400 (maybe less if you were to buy a cheaper case). For $400 you can get a much faster system with the possibility to upgrade it in the future. I got the processor, motherboard, GPU, and RAM for free from a friend so all I had to buy was the case and power supply which cost me just over $80. I'm using this system until I can upgrade to a modern computer in the next year or two (keeping fingers crossed).
Can you re-run with maximum overclock? I think that'd be interesting. 3000g can overclock well and if that's micron e-die then that will also clock well. Red dragon isn't powercolor's lowest tier so the gpu might do well too. Obviously isn't an option if you took the a320 but b450's can be had for almost a320 prices and those Ryzen coolers are $10 on Facebook marketplace...

I'm going to get a RX550 2gb LP as the other options are quite expensive and all I really want to play is BeamNG.drive, even on low settings. I also just want to play some other games that aren't too intensive, like portal 2. Portal 2 lags a little on the PC I'll be putting it in right now. the PC's current specs: Dell Optiplex 3010 SFF, Intel Core i3-3220, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Ubuntu 20.04. I'll be upgrading it to: Dell Optiplex 3010 SFF (again), Intel Core i3-3220 (again), either 8 or 16gb ram, a SSD, AMD Radeon RX550 2GB LP, and Ubuntu 20.04 (same install, again!) plus Windows 10 Pro. I just want to revive the machine. And breathe some new life into it.
You didn't really need the graphics card with that build. I used some noname 2400mhz ram (£29.99) and on my a320 board (£39.99) I managed to overclock the ram to 2999mhz, and overclock the graphics on the cpu to the settings you suggested in your previous review. The CPU cannot be overclocked on this board. I Used a £19 120gb ssd. My case was a new old stock £22 on ebay with built in 250watt power supply- This was perfect for a 35w cpu (£49.99). As a cooler I used the £8.99 AM4 Arctic Alpine passive cooler (Silent) and maxed out 50-60 degrees flat out. I only play World of Warcraft and get 30-50fps on graphics detail 4. It will dip to 20-25fps in raids but doesn't seem to lag and fully playable at 1080p. Oh, and windows 10 was £3.99 for an OEM key on ebay. bargain!
Build a new ish pc for my son. Aero bolt mini case 30$ amazon ASRock pro4 b450m 50$ ebay used Ryzen 5 1400 50$ locally 50$ used xfx Rx 560 4gb 50$ locally DDR4 3000mhz 8gb 49$ amazon Ssd 60gb just for Windows & 1tb 2.5 hdd 40$ locally 450w corsair psu 32$ I haven't put it together but should run any game at 50-60 fps and should keep running and has plenty of upgrade potential. For upgrade paths IMO buy a decent motherboard and psu. Cpu,gpu,ram, storage, and case can always be upgraded by swapping parts. But if you buy a decent psu and mobo you won't really have to take everything apart. Also try to buy 1 part at a time. And always be on the look out for local things you can pick up.
if you want to further cheap out on the parts, i would recommend AVF/Alcatroz casings + PSU bundles, 25$ for casing and PSU(alcatroz even include a 100mm exhaust fan in some casing). RX 550 has 2gb variant, although not recommended. you can cut another 40$ from this 2 deductions. If you're serious on gaming, it's wise to spend another 50$ to upgrade to i3-10100f+h410 combo, another 100$ for GTX 1650.
Not bad, I'm watching this on my budget PC under £300 with new parts, 2200g @3.5Ghz with 16GB 3200 RAM & ssd. Plays Skyrim SE on high (at 1080p) Assetto Corsa's benchmark is over 30fps on standard settings (at 720p) Elite Dangerous on max settings too. In my next comment I'll let you know how it handles The Witcher 3 (need to download it first)
My "gaming setup" : Phenom x4 965 3.4 GHz = overclocked to 3.8Ghz(you can get like 4 or 4.1 but the heat ;D and i have a fcking old mainboard) 1050ti 4gb oc version ddr5 8gb (2x4 dual) ddr3 mainboard : ms-7646 it´s not like this setup can´t run games but it reaches it limits in 2020. Games like kakarot are playable in 1080p with 60 fps (sometimes drop to 55 in battles ), or LOL , CS.Go , Tale of Berseria and so on . But everything new that may have some more details will kill the system :.especially the cpu is a problem here but i can´t upgrade it cause my mainboard is so old = RIP ME Edit : i wrote this cause i thougt it maybe would be interesting for you. you said in one of your videos that you like the "low budget gaming idea" and well this is it :D Edit: Edit : sry for my wrong spelling here and there but english isn´t my native language
The cheapest pc I've ever put together was 120 bucks total, A PC with Q6600, PSU, Mobo, and RAM = 20 Dollars, GTX 650 = 40 Dollars, and an UpHere Water Cooler = 60 Dollars (Mainly for aesthetics but keeps the Q6600 very cool) Currently use it as a secondary streaming pc, runs 720p60 great!
so, you would be better going with a 3400g/B450m DS3H(4 dimm slots)/16GB 3000Mhz build for a similar price? would cost around the same and adding a graphics card down the line will be much more powerful, overclocking the graphics to 1650Mhz will net you almost identical performance to the RX550, even more in some cases.
Maybe you should concentrate on builds and parts that people SHOULD actually try to buy? Your content seems to be changing to. "what random component that no one with good knowledge would ever go out , search for, and build a pc with." perhaps make a second channel "Gaming on Random Garbage hardware" Buying NEW parts, at the low end, is UNIVERSALLY a bad idea. used parts for budget builds will almost ALWAYS be better in performance.(A used FX8350 with a used Radeon 480 would Grotesquely Destroy this setup.)
Used dozens of the 200ge and 3000g rigs,absolutely perfect for ‘mom & pop’ family builds,where they browse,Facebook,email,zoom. Ect.Old games about the 775 Intel gen- stuff runs well.And retro console & home computer gaming is another world of gaming never even hinted at on this channel.But there’s that.
Me having a just as shitty PSU from the same brand: 😭 I'm just waiting for it, to simply explode and burn myself to death. Finally. I also have the Sapphire Pulse RX 550 4GB and to be fair, it's a LOT better than the 1030.
Hi. I am looking for the cheapest Gaming PC to play "War Thunder" PC game in "High" quality settings. So looking for AMD and Ryzen componente which are cheaper. I already have a PC screen, keyboard and mouse and audio headset and PC tower case, SSD disk and HDD disk So I need: Motherboard, processeor, RAM, processeur ventilator.
You can still get the AMD FX CPU's and 760G & 970 motherboards new on Amazon. I personally never had experience with the FX series CPU's but lots of people bad talk them, so I bought the FX-6300 and a 760G to pair with a R9 380, 16gb of ram and 700w psu I had collecting dust in a drawer. I just dont see it. Weather thats Windows 10 or various microcode updates I'm unaware of there is 1 game out of 30 that I've installed on it that has a stuttering problem, it holds up very well in 2020, at least in my experience.
So have you done a strictly CPU + iGPU build only ? It would be interesting to test both Intel and AMD systems around a budget build and compare them using the same motherboards and various APU's with faster RAM to see the differences. So use a decent 3200MHz RAM kit for all the systems and clocke them at the default DDR4-2133 up to 3200 I know this IS a lot of work so no worries if you don't wan't to do something like this ;)
For those looking to buy something nice (and at least half of it new) on a budget: get the cheapest b450 board with a vrm heatsink (around 50 eur), slap a quad core in there (50 eur if you can find a good Ryzen 1200 AF, or a 3100 for 90 eur if you're feeling fancy and can't find anything else), then look for an HD 7970 on ebay, where I'm from I find those anywhere between 30 and 50 eur used. So that's about anywhere between 130 to 190 eur (depending on luck, availability and/or choice of cpu) for a nice cpu/mobo/gpu combo. The rest of the parts you can source for about 150 new. That's a solid system for a little over/under 300 eur.
I bought my first PC in July and got this case, an A320m-k, 3200G and an aerocool PSU, then later a 1650super and just the other day upgraded to the ryzen 3100. The case is a bit crap, but i just wanted to get going and have something to upgrade over time. The 3100 and 1650 super amaze me for their price.
We are pretty much out of stock with our lower end and mid range but consider this.I got my R 5 2600 for R3599(South African currency)the 5600x cost a whooping R6799.Hell it's so not worth it if i want to upgrade,I would go for a 3xxx cpu
I had built a similar system for a friend 1 year ago, but with a GT1030. It works well with WoW Classic (low, FHD). Wouldn't recommend that, too, but he just wanted to play Classic for as cheap as possible with new components.
My system runs on an AMD FX 6300 with a RX 470 card that has 8gb of vram and it barely even launches GTA 5, this video makes me wanna upgrade. Conclusion: don't buy 10 year old cpus.. I guess I've learnt it the hard way
Let me start by saying I'm a longtime subscriber and I love your videos. That said, the RX550 is a waste of money. Putting that budget into a cpu with more cores and a better igpu and faster ram would have made for better performance on the same budget. For the budget you spent on this system, I can get a 3200g, case and PSU, B450 motherboard from asrock, 8GB of 3200mhz RAM, and a 240GB SSD, and still come in $20 under budget, and that's just limited to what pcpartpicker has listed right this moment. That build performs the same or better in games, has a more capable CPU so an upgrade to the GPU down the line has a lower chance of being bottlenecked by it, and a motherboard that has four memory slots for a less expensive upgrade path there as well as support for Zen 3 for upgrades there. Granted I'm in the US not the UK so there's availability differences, and I only converted your listed prices to USD to determine budget so there's room for error there, but even so you didn't list budget for storage and I included that. Ultimately I'm rather disappointed in what you came up with for this build. It has no upgrade path and is not at all the best you can get with this budget even buying all new.
That aero cool psu is very good best 500w you can get new for the price range. And the ram amazon sell PNY DDR4 8gb single stick 2666ghz ram for £31 or a 4gb stick for £21
I just finished my pc. Mostly used stuff for a total 700€. Ryzen 7 2700 with a asrock b450m pro 4 + 16gb ram (220€) also i got a 2070 super for 400€. Greetings form germany
At about 2 months ago, I've just built myself a new pc. Basic amd apu stuff, with the uncommon athlon 220ge. I'm still paying the parts (brazilian economy is pretty hurt by the virus), but just today, I found out a local guy, who's selling a ryzen 3 2200g for about the same price that I paid in the athlon. I hope the deal remains active for the next week, so I can upgrade for more threads and better igpu for a minimum investment.
heh I've got a rig here running a 3400G and honestly even though it's just a screw around system dual booting Win10 and Ubuntu...runs incredibly well with a lot of fast RAM thrown at it...no GPU in it at all but seemingly...it gets the job done letting me learn Linux on a decently fast platform.
Instead of buying that rx550, spend a little bit more on RAM, get 2x8GB crucial ballistix, run it at 3400 cl14, and it will be faster then that rx550 and its cheaper for the total system, also draws less power. Also makes less noise.
Aerocool PSUs are horrible, instead of putting money on components, they are slap some useless RGB on it, nice No protection, bad stabilization, voltage ripple is bad, it can easily kill your HDD And shitty Andynson PSU platform
Did you forget integrated cpu motherboards? They are usually cheaper than mobo + cpu. Integrated cpus like J4125 (quad core intel) are not that bad actually.
Its insane the performance jump you would get from a old Ryzen 1400 and rx 570. Super cheap new budget parts have such bad price to performance in gaming scenarios.
If you are on a budget you should build with 2nd hand parts, like with cars and about everything in this world nearly half the value disapears within 1 or 2 years. And if you build 2nd hand you should do your homework and use some brain cells, bought a gtx 1070 at half the price (250 euro) when it was 11 months old, still had 2 years of garantee left and got it with the original bill. Also got a rx 580 8gb for 95 euro. At least the rx card was mined on but who cares as most mining people underclock it, not overclock like me and other gamers do. Its always a bad idea to buy new and specially if your on a budget because of owning a house, car and need to feed a family.
my C2Q build is in a KLA-002. bought it cuz it was cheap. and it's utter shite. the sheets it's made of are thinner than a human hair. just get a second hand case from around 2003-2007 and you'll be much better off.
This is why second hand is the way to go if on a budget. There are plenty of 3rd, and 4th gen i7 motherboard cpu bundles with ram going for under £150 nowadays. Pair that with a second hand gtx 970 or 1060 and your rocking.
Try to build the cheapest 1080p/1440p/4K system you can. I think it'd be neat to see you do a little series going up in resolution and making the cheapest compromises you can.

But really, these prebuilds are weird - seen some dells with very good PSUs, and some with shit tier-barely meeting both safety, and power requirements (not sure if you get it, i mean there are PCs with 350w TDP componets, and there is a 350w PSU with that, what shouldn't be done) but all things considered, i would always take an overpriced dell over a shitty eBay "gaming" PC

I've bought the exact same graphics card. But mine can run Just Cause 4 on 40 FPS (no V-Sync, No Anti-Aliasing, No Ambient Occlusion, 720p, But Very high graphics on every other.)
So what you are saying is that you built a gaming pc that makes games unplayable. So you failed.
WOW!!! Can't believe how far you have come! Great work mate and keep it up.
Your fan from just over 9k subscribers.
I’ve always wanted to start building PCs but price is the problem so i think I’m gonna start with something like this
Don't go new. At this price point go used.
Don't.
Go with as he said a 3400G or if you can't afford that go second hand
If you can add a hundred or so to the budget get a used rx570 or something, but yeah a 3400g is a great idea as he says.
Buy a old school dell and tinker with it
Consider going used. I just picked up an i5 4440, 8gb ddr3 and a motherboard bundle for $120 today, and while older, the i5 has 4 cores and will perform better in some games over the 3000g. I'm pairing it with an RX 480 I got for $130 second hand, and the PC should offer reasonable performance for $250. Dell Optiplex machines with i5 CPUs can be found for $100-150 US depending on amount of ram and hard drive capacity. Throw in a new psu and used graphics card like the RX 470/480, and it'll offer better performance than the athlon and RX 550 for the around the same price.
Where did u install the games? Did u use some magically means?
on the cloud 🤣
On the Fortnite part when you questioned on if the stutters were the memory frequency or the CPU, it's most certainly the CPU. Fortnite has shown to dislike dual core. Built my cousin a build that included an Athlon 3000G and 8GB RAM @ 2400MHz (We found out it was only running at 2133 though, fixed that later after we swapped CPUs) and it was a stutter fest at the most important fights. Changed it out to a Ryzen 5 1600AF and it ran as smooth as it should at 144fps also clocked the RAM to 2400MHz and expanded it to 16GB. While it was at 2133 it was just fine, so it really must be the CPU. I think Fortnite is CPU bound so dual is a no-no
NOOOOO DONT BUY AEROCOOL PSU'S PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF OUR LIVES
In Russia we even have memes about how shit aerocool PSU's are.They are pure bullshit.Its just typical shitty PSU's but they look nice.And thats it.And 80+ means nothing here,they lose the 80+ standard after a few months.
The Athlon 3000G was bottlenecking the GPU by a lot since it's a dual core CPU. I'm using Asus Arez Phoenix RX550 2GB paired with quad core i5-3450, 8GB 1333mhz dual channel RAM and it gives me 15-30FPS more than what it gave in this video.
That’s like my pc I had one year ago😂 I had a i3 6100 and rx 460 and even Fortnite would lag.
Couldn’t even play apex (only at 1080p low with around 50 FPS)
But then I finally upgraded to Ryzen 5 3600 and 2060 Super
I just built a very similar build for my son since his PS4 died. The only difference was I used an Athlon 220g instead of the 3000. When I got the 550, I was very disappointed that my gtx 770sc out performed it by a pretty big factor. I would have put that card in the system, but the power supply I used wouldn't support it. It'll do until we eventually get him a PS5, but yeah, stay as far away from the RX 550 as you can.
I can confirm that the Ryzen 5 3400g is very capable as a light to medium gaming solution. My kids have their own system and this APU gets through everything from TABS to Universe Sandbox no problem
2400mhz is not ideal?
you have such high standards
2400mhz is too low for amd processors. If it's intel 2400 should be fine.
that is because AMD processors perform better with faster RAM , I don't see the issue?
Love how you're always doing fun things like this.
Yeah Steve is really creative 😁
@@shaneeslick Alex is more creative
I owned a RX 550. Always try to get a RX 470 or RX 570.
Yeah definitely, even a RX460/560 is a big step over a RX550, the 70's are a huge jump that is generally bigger than the price increase if you can afford one

Build the cheapest pc with parts that says "gaming" on it!
PS 960x540 is 1/4 the pixel count of 1920x1080 :D
So it's actually 25% res, not 50% res.
(But don't tell the devs that)
ryzen 3 3100 would have been a great choice for that build. very similar in price. btw that frame time graph is the worst i've ever seen in valhalla and red dead it's all over.🤣🤣
never go cheap on the motherboard! or the PSU! if you do, it will be expensive in the long run.
This psu is a good one for the cheap side of things yes cheaping out on a psu can bite you in the ass but I would say this is the cheapist one you can get new that I trust not to burn my house down
Or at least if you insist on it then don't go into it with high expectations of pushing the parts to their limits.
Not really on a motherboard unless your putting something higher than a ryzen 3
@@Deuteriumaddict Yeah, an Athlon3000G wouldn't even stress a 50w Single phase VRM with an OC 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@acid3129 i agree, this psu is decent, when i said that do not buy a cheap psu, i meant those cheap generic ones that has more power in the 5v and 3v instead of the 12v. Usually if it has 80+ certification is good enogh.
that was my second gpu and I had to say it was good for the price. It could maintain a comfortable 60fps in newer titles at low to medium settings. or should i say, me?
My RX 550 is 640 SP clocked at 1190 MHz, Redragon
I do not reccomend any aerocool psus for anyone considering, I had an aerocool integrator kill my beloved 980 ti.

I OC my memory to 2933MHz on the MSI A320m-A Pro, just a shame I can't do the same with the CPU until I get a better board.
But, Crucial 2666MHz 2x4GB @ £14.88 per stick was a worthy reward for the sacrifice. would've been stuck with single channel had I bought a B450.
Ahh I love videos like this. Always interesting to see what you can do on an exteme budget, but still get new parts.
I wonder if this PC is better than mine. I have the FX8320 at 3.5GHz, MSI 970 gaming motherboard, Radeon HD 7950 Twin Frozr III 3GB GPU, and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM at 1866MHz. My system runs most games at medium settings (No CPU overclock because I don't have an aftermarket cooler yet). Some games need low settings for better FPS but for the most part it performs good enough for the games I play. Would I recommend my setup? Only if you can get the above parts for a very low price and want a computer now while being on a tight budget. I priced out the above parts on Ebay and it came to a total of $288 with free shipping on all parts. The GPU I found was a 7850 model but is 3GB so the difference in performance versus the 7950 model should be minimal. After buying a power supply and case you would be looking at spending between $350 and $400 (maybe less if you were to buy a cheaper case). For $400 you can get a much faster system with the possibility to upgrade it in the future. I got the processor, motherboard, GPU, and RAM for free from a friend so all I had to buy was the case and power supply which cost me just over $80. I'm using this system until I can upgrade to a modern computer in the next year or two (keeping fingers crossed).
You should have used GeForce 210 for “ultimate gaming experience”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you seemed to have missed typing the word WORST between Ultimate & Gaming 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
0:58 when you ask for a pc to play doom and your mum finds gets you a dell optiplex
Can you re-run with maximum overclock? I think that'd be interesting. 3000g can overclock well and if that's micron e-die then that will also clock well. Red dragon isn't powercolor's lowest tier so the gpu might do well too. Obviously isn't an option if you took the a320 but b450's can be had for almost a320 prices and those Ryzen coolers are $10 on Facebook marketplace...
If you scale back gaming needs, it still works nicely for Red Alert 3, early Witcher titles etc. Older games are still fun.
I thought a rx 550 would perform pretty well considering how good the rx 570 and 580 do in benchmarks.
the cpu is limiting the performance here, a 2 core cpu isn't going to make any graphics card shine
@@flextapeyeet7209 Most games the gpu is working at 100% whilst the cpu is maxing out at about 80%-90%. Take Valhalla for example 4:55

I'm going to get a RX550 2gb LP as the other options are quite expensive and all I really want to play is BeamNG.drive, even on low settings. I also just want to play some other games that aren't too intensive, like portal 2.
Portal 2 lags a little on the PC I'll be putting it in right now. the PC's current specs: Dell Optiplex 3010 SFF, Intel Core i3-3220, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Ubuntu 20.04. I'll be upgrading it to: Dell Optiplex 3010 SFF (again), Intel Core i3-3220 (again), either 8 or 16gb ram, a SSD, AMD Radeon RX550 2GB LP, and Ubuntu 20.04 (same install, again!) plus Windows 10 Pro.
I just want to revive the machine. And breathe some new life into it.
You didn't really need the graphics card with that build. I used some noname 2400mhz ram (£29.99) and on my a320 board (£39.99) I managed to overclock the ram to 2999mhz, and overclock the graphics on the cpu to the settings you suggested in your previous review. The CPU cannot be overclocked on this board. I Used a £19 120gb ssd. My case was a new old stock £22 on ebay with built in 250watt power supply- This was perfect for a 35w cpu (£49.99). As a cooler I used the £8.99 AM4 Arctic Alpine passive cooler (Silent) and maxed out 50-60 degrees flat out. I only play World of Warcraft and get 30-50fps on graphics detail 4. It will dip to 20-25fps in raids but doesn't seem to lag and fully playable at 1080p. Oh, and windows 10 was £3.99 for an OEM key on ebay. bargain!

I haven't put it together but should run any game at 50-60 fps and should keep running and has plenty of upgrade potential. For upgrade paths IMO buy a decent motherboard and psu. Cpu,gpu,ram, storage, and case can always be upgraded by swapping parts. But if you buy a decent psu and mobo you won't really have to take everything apart. Also try to buy 1 part at a time. And always be on the look out for local things you can pick up.
if you want to further cheap out on the parts, i would recommend AVF/Alcatroz casings + PSU bundles, 25$ for casing and PSU(alcatroz even include a 100mm exhaust fan in some casing). RX 550 has 2gb variant, although not recommended. you can cut another 40$ from this 2 deductions. If you're serious on gaming, it's wise to spend another 50$ to upgrade to i3-10100f+h410 combo, another 100$ for GTX 1650.
Not bad, I'm watching this on my budget PC under £300 with new parts, 2200g @3.5Ghz with 16GB 3200 RAM & ssd. Plays Skyrim SE on high (at 1080p) Assetto Corsa's benchmark is over 30fps on standard settings (at 720p) Elite Dangerous on max settings too. In my next comment I'll let you know how it handles The Witcher 3 (need to download it first)
My "gaming setup" :
Phenom x4 965 3.4 GHz = overclocked to 3.8Ghz(you can get like 4 or 4.1 but the heat ;D and i have a fcking old mainboard)
1050ti 4gb oc version ddr5
8gb (2x4 dual) ddr3
mainboard : ms-7646
it´s not like this setup can´t run games but it reaches it limits in 2020.
Games like kakarot are playable in 1080p with 60 fps (sometimes drop to 55 in battles ), or LOL , CS.Go , Tale of Berseria and so on .
But everything new that may have some more details will kill the system :.especially the cpu is a problem here but i can´t upgrade it cause my mainboard is so old = RIP ME
Edit : i wrote this cause i thougt it maybe would be interesting for you. you said in one of your videos that you like the "low budget gaming idea" and well this is it :D
Edit: Edit : sry for my wrong spelling here and there but english isn´t my native language
The cheapest pc I've ever put together was 120 bucks total, A PC with Q6600, PSU, Mobo, and RAM = 20 Dollars, GTX 650 = 40 Dollars, and an UpHere Water Cooler = 60 Dollars (Mainly for aesthetics but keeps the Q6600 very cool) Currently use it as a secondary streaming pc, runs 720p60 great!
so, you would be better going with a 3400g/B450m DS3H(4 dimm slots)/16GB 3000Mhz build for a similar price? would cost around the same and adding a graphics card down the line will be much more powerful, overclocking the graphics to 1650Mhz will net you almost identical performance to the RX550, even more in some cases.
Maybe you should concentrate on builds and parts that people SHOULD actually try to buy? Your content seems to be changing to. "what random component that no one with good knowledge would ever go out , search for, and build a pc with." perhaps make a second channel "Gaming on Random Garbage hardware" Buying NEW parts, at the low end, is UNIVERSALLY a bad idea. used parts for budget builds will almost ALWAYS be better in performance.(A used FX8350 with a used Radeon 480 would Grotesquely Destroy this setup.)
Used dozens of the 200ge and 3000g rigs,absolutely perfect for ‘mom & pop’ family builds,where they browse,Facebook,email,zoom. Ect.Old games about the 775 Intel gen- stuff runs well.And retro console & home computer gaming is another world of gaming never even hinted at on this channel.But there’s that.

Hi. I am looking for the cheapest Gaming PC to play "War Thunder" PC game in "High" quality settings. So looking for AMD and Ryzen componente which are cheaper. I already have a PC screen, keyboard and mouse and audio headset and PC tower case, SSD disk and HDD disk So I need: Motherboard, processeor, RAM, processeur ventilator.
You can still get the AMD FX CPU's and 760G & 970 motherboards new on Amazon.
I personally never had experience with the FX series CPU's but lots of people bad talk them, so I bought the FX-6300 and a 760G to pair with a R9 380, 16gb of ram and 700w psu I had collecting dust in a drawer. I just dont see it. Weather thats Windows 10 or various microcode updates I'm unaware of there is 1 game out of 30 that I've installed on it that has a stuttering problem, it holds up very well in 2020, at least in my experience.
So have you done a strictly CPU + iGPU build only ?
It would be interesting to test both Intel and AMD systems around a budget build and compare them using the same motherboards and various APU's with faster RAM to see the differences.
So use a decent 3200MHz RAM kit for all the systems and clocke them at the default DDR4-2133 up to 3200
I know this IS a lot of work so no worries if you don't wan't to do something like this ;)
For those looking to buy something nice (and at least half of it new) on a budget: get the cheapest b450 board with a vrm heatsink (around 50 eur), slap a quad core in there (50 eur if you can find a good Ryzen 1200 AF, or a 3100 for 90 eur if you're feeling fancy and can't find anything else), then look for an HD 7970 on ebay, where I'm from I find those anywhere between 30 and 50 eur used. So that's about anywhere between 130 to 190 eur (depending on luck, availability and/or choice of cpu) for a nice cpu/mobo/gpu combo. The rest of the parts you can source for about 150 new. That's a solid system for a little over/under 300 eur.
I bought my first PC in July and got this case, an A320m-k, 3200G and an aerocool PSU, then later a 1650super and just the other day upgraded to the ryzen 3100. The case is a bit crap, but i just wanted to get going and have something to upgrade over time. The 3100 and 1650 super amaze me for their price.
We are pretty much out of stock with our lower end and mid range but consider this.I got my R 5 2600 for R3599(South African currency)the 5600x cost a whooping R6799.Hell it's so not worth it if i want to upgrade,I would go for a 3xxx cpu
I had built a similar system for a friend 1 year ago, but with a GT1030. It works well with WoW Classic (low, FHD). Wouldn't recommend that, too, but he just wanted to play Classic for as cheap as possible with new components.
My system runs on an AMD FX 6300 with a RX 470 card that has 8gb of vram and it barely even launches GTA 5, this video makes me wanna upgrade. Conclusion: don't buy 10 year old cpus.. I guess I've learnt it the hard way
Let me start by saying I'm a longtime subscriber and I love your videos. That said, the RX550 is a waste of money. Putting that budget into a cpu with more cores and a better igpu and faster ram would have made for better performance on the same budget. For the budget you spent on this system, I can get a 3200g, case and PSU, B450 motherboard from asrock, 8GB of 3200mhz RAM, and a 240GB SSD, and still come in $20 under budget, and that's just limited to what pcpartpicker has listed right this moment. That build performs the same or better in games, has a more capable CPU so an upgrade to the GPU down the line has a lower chance of being bottlenecked by it, and a motherboard that has four memory slots for a less expensive upgrade path there as well as support for Zen 3 for upgrades there. Granted I'm in the US not the UK so there's availability differences, and I only converted your listed prices to USD to determine budget so there's room for error there, but even so you didn't list budget for storage and I included that. Ultimately I'm rather disappointed in what you came up with for this build. It has no upgrade path and is not at all the best you can get with this budget even buying all new.
That aero cool psu is very good best 500w you can get new for the price range. And the ram amazon sell PNY DDR4 8gb single stick 2666ghz ram for £31 or a 4gb stick for £21
I just finished my pc. Mostly used stuff for a total 700€. Ryzen 7 2700 with a asrock b450m pro 4 + 16gb ram (220€) also i got a 2070 super for 400€.

Instead of buying that rx550, spend a little bit more on RAM, get 2x8GB crucial ballistix, run it at 3400 cl14, and it will be faster then that rx550 and its cheaper for the total system, also draws less power. Also makes less noise.
Aerocool PSUs are horrible, instead of putting money on components, they are slap some useless RGB on it, nice
No protection, bad stabilization, voltage ripple is bad, it can easily kill your HDD

Did you forget integrated cpu motherboards? They are usually cheaper than mobo + cpu. Integrated cpus like J4125 (quad core intel) are not that bad actually.
b450m with apu combo is more viable choice for OC..

Its insane the performance jump you would get from a old Ryzen 1400 and rx 570. Super cheap new budget parts have such bad price to performance in gaming scenarios.
If you are on a budget you should build with 2nd hand parts, like with cars and about everything in this world nearly half the value disapears within 1 or 2 years. And if you build 2nd hand you should do your homework and use some brain cells, bought a gtx 1070 at half the price (250 euro) when it was 11 months old, still had 2 years of garantee left and got it with the original bill. Also got a rx 580 8gb for 95 euro. At least the rx card was mined on but who cares as most mining people underclock it, not overclock like me and other gamers do. Its always a bad idea to buy new and specially if your on a budget because of owning a house, car and need to feed a family.
my C2Q build is in a KLA-002. bought it cuz it was cheap. and it's utter shite. the sheets it's made of are thinner than a human hair. just get a second hand case from around 2003-2007 and you'll be much better off.
This is why second hand is the way to go if on a budget. There are plenty of 3rd, and 4th gen i7 motherboard cpu bundles with ram going for under £150 nowadays. Pair that with a second hand gtx 970 or 1060 and your rocking.
Why do people keep saying that 30fps is console range when my Xbox locks at 58-61fps?? I don’t understand??
You showed a ASRock B450 board, but the captions that you put in that part said "Gigabyte B450 motherboard".

Try to build the cheapest 1080p/1440p/4K system you can. I think it'd be neat to see you do a little series going up in resolution and making the cheapest compromises you can.
