32GB ram is highly recommended, remove the cable extensions if its a budget issue. Hogwarts is a resource hog, but that's likely the future- more games will use more vram and/or regular ram.
@zaachy1912 Gotta start somewhere, no shame in a laptop. I started w one too. 16 tends to get by but 32 is always a good call if it’s in the budget. May be worth checking if your laptop has soldered ram or if the ram is upgradable/have another slot?
Some people online act like the thermaltake smart series of power supplies are bad, i've had a smart 430w for 6 years and has worked flawlessly. I even get regular voltage drops in my city and the occasional blackout, still no issues whatsoever. They are insanely good value for money.
Idk if you know what the psu tier list is, but if you don’t, it’s a list of psu ranking made by a group of people extremely knowledgeable about psu’s, and they put the thermaltake smart on tier F, the lowest tier, which is extremely bad, people generally don’t recommend anything under tier C, for that kind of wattage I’d recommend the msi a550bn, its tier c and around 50 bucks
Well, it is that bad. You're lucky if yours still survived till this day. The components in this PSU are garbages, for most of the time, it will fail and that's why everyone should avoid this piece of trash.
@@thomaslayman9487 Just bc it worked for you and the other guy does not mean others should risk the highly probable failure. Don't encourage others to get an f tier psu.
Watching this video while I'm working, this video is absolutely calming yet informative, and top notch quality man. Thank you, more vids like this please!
Reminder to everyone to use a surge protector that works for lightning as well. Video cards are super sensitive to lightning. My Brother's new autocad video card fizzled during a lightning storm, even though his house was never hit, rather power lines further away from his neighborhood. But it was enough feedback to fizzle his card.
Are there surge protectors that can handle lightning strikes?! My understanding was that your only option during a lightning storm is to unplug everything from the wall. Even turning your appliances off is not enough because lighting can jump through the few millimeters between a switch's contact pads. Am I wrong?
@@user-nl7hw7uh1m you are right. You should unplug endangered devices before lightning occurs. Otherwise you should have at least a three step overvoltage protection beginning with house connection fuse, protection in your apartment fuse box and last a device protection, like those overvoltage protection plugs. Only the combination of all three will reduce the risk to the lowest possible level.
thanks a billion from jamaica bro jawa is my new goat i can't afford new parts so i head over to jawa im on a very tight budget my gpu is a radeon rx 6600 cpu is a ryzen 3400g
Great build. Great video. Great editing. Great audio. Great voice. I was absolutely not interested in the video for nothing more than just seeing those fps and temps But bro Did I stay throughout the whole vid Great work! Hope to hear from you soon!
All your builds are calming! And while I like a bit more ram and CPU, I always learn something. And while I love the super excitement of Jason and his jam packed videos, I equally love all your videos. Keep it up!
Quick note on the psu: I've found that the 600w version of the Thermaltake Smart is often on sale for only $2 more than the 500w. Though the additional 100w might not be necessary, for $2 it's a no brainer.
Great build! One thing I would change are the fans, I would go for some Arctic P12 PWM PST fans, a bunch of those can be daisy chained on a single PWM fan header, no need for a fan hub.
Sweet build, good shopping job getting the parts too! Im hoping my system keeps on chugging along mostly because I had a stroke and lost my left side. Really dont want to build a new PC one handed when even opening plastic wrap is a challenge lol! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
If you're right around this budget, look no further than the 5700X/AsRock b550 pro 4/G.Skill 32GB 3600 CL18 RAM combo at New egg for $210. The breakdown of these parts would be $80/$80/$50. I'd say this is an insane deal.
Every time I watch your videos I think "He would be great to read bed-time books". Soothing. Makes me want to grab a blanket and curl up on the couch. 💤
This is literally my build, other than the psu, case, and mobo. Its super solid for what I use it for and I don't have any reason to upgrade anytime soon, so yeah great build
I'd personally have gone for an RTX 2070 or 2080. The 2080 comes up for the same $160 pretty regularly and is not only faster but supports DLSS which is better than FSR. Motherboard was too expensive for a budget build, I'd have gotten a used B450 or B550 board for $40-60 instead and used the savings from that to upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 5600 as it's quite a bit faster in CPU-limited games. Apart from that it's a pretty solid build. 👍
Your video made me realize that used RX6600 is surprising affordable. Both of my used 1080ti and 3090 are broken after a few months so my experience with used GPU is not so great nowadays.
Great Build! So relaxing to watch and listen to your build videos. FYI - The 3000 series come with the old bigger and better CPU cooler and not the stealth, however the Thermalright Assassin is even a better CPU cooler on the same level as a Cooler Master Hyper 212 for $10 to $22 less. 😊👍
I just picked up a sicko B550 motherboard combo with (free) 16GB DDR4 and 5600GT for $240 out the door after tax/shipping. What a time to be building on a "dead" platform!
@@thewrongguy Newegg, idk if the combo's still up but I just put the CPU and a b550 motherboard with bios flashback in my cart and it was like ok enjoy free RAM too!
I'd still suggest a second hand 3300X over a 3600X if you are going to be gaming on the system because the L3 cache is shared by all four cores which helps limit frame stutters, it's also cheaper.
W video I've been watching your channel and i've finally built my pc it costed 595$ and I got the rx 6700 xt and ryzen 5 5600 (i went with 32gb of ram)

You should totally jump on that Bazzite hype train and see how those games perform under Linux. It will save you a few bucks on Windows license as well.
The one thing that looks the hardest to manage are those cables, it gives me a headache just to see them, great vid but the Minecraft music is so depressing lol.
G'day Oz, nice build for 1080p, I had a catch up with one of my nephews today, he is building a new PC & already has AM4Mobo/32GB DDR4-3200/RX5700XT with plans to get a R5 3600 this week... I asked how much he was going to pay for the 3600 which was $130AUD 😲his jaw dropped😲" when I told him "a new 5600 is currently $150", plans have now changed 🙃👎
Ahh, great build, but I wouldnt buy a Thermaltake PSU, since 2008 they are like playing russian roulette with the barrell fully loaded. Instead, I will just use the stock CPU cooler and put the extra dollars into a better PSU, lets say a beQuiet! or Corsair with more Ws. This will not only provide you a safer choice, but also more upgradable headroom for the future. Saying this, great video, loved the music and the chill vibes and great election of components!
I've been watching dozens of videos for building pcs & have half my parts right now. I'm so excited but nervous about breaking something and my money has been wasted :(
Ok, that's a nice build with a RX 6600. This is the minimum for all games, anything slower or an older gen is not worth it for all games. I mentioned all games.
