For the most part spot on, but I highly disagree with your take about DRAMless SSD's. It depends on use case. Majority of people are going to be completely fine with DRAMless SSD's and that's because most people are not writing large amounts of data all the time. If you find yourself writing large amounts of data frequently (that isn't being downloaded because the downloading will be bottleneck way before the write speed) then 100% a DRAM SSD is what you should get. What you should care more about is whether the SSD you have is using QLC or TLC NAND. In the end, I would also not recommend the Kingston NV2 ssd, but not because it is DRAMless, but because it's using QLC NAND (hence why it's usually cheaper) which has lower life expectancy and has a higher chance of read and write errors.

im buying my first proper gaming pc today. im building it myself. i chose 32gb ddr4 ram asus 3060 dual oc 12gb and i5 12400f... maybe its not the best but considering the fact that i was playing for the last 5 years on a radeon r7 graphics cpu with no gpu, 16gb of terible ram, a awfull psu and 2 60hz office monitors im really happy. i dont even play games that are trashing ur pc so its a good choice for me
I have a very simmiliar build, im switching from gaming on a laptop with a gtx 1050ti and and i7 8th gen (forgot what the excact name was) to a rtx 3060 12gb and a i5-13400F with 32gb ddr5 ram
Dont even own a PC. I just enjoy watching his builds. One day i will go to PC from console. And this will be the place i come to for a build. Great work 👍🏻
soo glad my friend listened to me xd he wanted to buy 3060 12 gb but i managed to get him on amd side for rx 6750 xt same price but like 40% + performance :D
yeah they don't talk about half of their line up most of the time it is because they where meant for pre built oem pc its weird they actually made this one consumer based.
well yeah they can take a lot of abuse now and days but people still seem to be able to break them some how i know i did some how bent the pins on my amd cpu because the fan wouldn't come off with out taking the cpu with it lol. but i mean i tried to pull it back into place but instead broke it off lol. some people like me just have bad luck around electronics.
@ScatterVolt I'm building a PC soon and I'm new, I'm correct in thinking that if you have Thermal Paste on the stock cooler, then you don't need to apply more?
got kingston NV2 1GB on my second budget build (ryzen 5600 radeon 6700) and its absolutely fine ssd:) like dont get it for proffesional work, for gaming i see np with this drive
An idea on what you should do with it: A video where you go through every part and find a use case for the components. You could go something like: "Yes, the 3060 is not the graphics card you should be buying in 2024, but if you find a cheap one on the used market, it pairs well with these components..." Maybe do a nice "console killer" with that cheap motherboard in a small case etc. Would be nice to see if you can make them work.
Prices for used graphics cards always reflect their true value. The used RTX 3060 12GB sells for 150 EUR upwards. This is a reasonable price, and a very good price if you want to use it for local AI inference. All Nvidia cards carry a price premium for their superior AI inference, and from the 30xx upwards they carry the additional premium for AI powered game rendering.
I love your channel. I've been building my own PCs for about the length of time you've been alive. You are informative and a bit of a smart arse..an overall enjoyable channel. Keep it up!
@@PCgamerChannel well i think it was meant just for saying don't buy the cheapest of the cheap because there are better deals out there i don't think it was really based of being cheap as in price or spec because my build didn't even get this high and does better then this one. i think it was the cheapest stuff people where buying on amazon.
Your contents are too good, Marc. I have watched many other videos on different channels regarding PC components but yours are top notch undoubtedly. I was searching for a build with rtx 4070super+ ryzen 7 7700 and wasn't sure if it would be a bottleneck or not.Your $1500 build guide cleared my doubt. Keep up the good work.
After years of not building (I am a PC Gamer and Professional I.T. guy for over 20 years now) You (and some other tech youtubers) inspired me to finally built a PC for fun, benchmarking and resell. 1250 CAD so 900USD Ryzen 7600X (I couldn't wait for ALIExpress time shipping) Thermalright CPU cooler Asus B650 ATX motherboard Teamgroup 2x16 GB Ram DDR5-6000 CL3 Teamgroup 1TB NVME drive, PCIE4 ATX Deepcool case Not super fond of it, but EVGA BR 700W All new, but a used Sapphire Nitro RX 6800 for 350 CAD or 252USD which I feel is a proper good deal. Came super clean, in box.
You provide quality information good sir thank you! I bought 3 tubes of thermal paste, a sheet of the Honeywell 7950, and my cooler comes with it pre-applied. I think my first build will be sweet!
I got the 3060 a year and a half ago. Been a great Card but I'm looking at other cards to this date. But I wouldn't say it's the worst. Great video had more than a few laughs
I have been doing my research into parts and I thought I was being pretty thorough and knew what to look for. Had no idea that Kingston NV2 didn't have DRAM cache... I knew to look out for those I just missed it and still nearly bought it. Thanks for helping me dodge that bullet
One thing i admire about this youtuber ... he always responds to his subscribers .... Love ur vidz .. Actually, put bad boys 4 on hold to watch this pc ...
Ironically you have it backwards, the 4060 is the worst gpu today. Rtx 3060 was auch more successful gpu compared to the crappy 4060, out of the 40 series lineup the 4060 provides no generational uplift over the 4060, its a horriblly priced gpu, its a joke. Especially for how cheap used 3060 gpus are now its a way better value to get a used 3060 over any shitty 4060

The irony during building this pc is off the charts 😂 Love it. Great to know what to look out for and avoid when building a budget pc. Thank you for another great video sir 🙂
Wow, you just came and called me out, partially. I got two of those SSDs, a cheap Asrock motherboard(But it was considered the best budget motherboard by Hardware unboxed, so is it really that bad?) I considered the 3060 12gb but ended up getting the 4060 8gb instead. At least I didn't cheap out too much on the CPU and PSU. Got a 7600X with a decent air cooler and a 80+ Gold 750W PSU. No, I did not look it up on psu cultists. My case is second hand, but pretty nice. Flat front, but with vents and a nice dust filter, also two fans and filters in the bottom.
I know it's not the intention but these cheap cases CAN be great if you can DIY. Back when HTPC's were a thing especially in the early days that's what we had to do a lot of the time. A lot are cheap enough that if you have a specific use scenario you can hack them up to suit your needs. Hacking up a $30 case is a lot different to hacking up a $150case. Now at $36 whether it's worth your time investment is up to the individual. But adding a mesh front by cutting out the recessed triangular panel is pretty basic and easy for me with the tools i have and the skills I have. But I still wouldn't buy it personally because of the Be Cool! Be Gamer! cheese and general poor layout. But there's also plenty of cases for like $10 more that offer the basics for a general use scenario.
I mean hes kind of right tho, im rocking a 3060 12gb myself but 1. I bought it for 210$ 2. It definitely should not be the most popular gpu 3. Its overpriced, at least in the US
Man the rtx 3060 is really frustrating. A friend of mine was looking to upgrade his 1060 6gb. I suggested him getting a RX 6600, a 6650 xt, or a 6750 xt. The prices were $190, $210, and $320. He was just obsessed with the 3060, didnt want any of the 8gb cards and he was unsure to buy radeon, at the end i suggested a 3060 asus phoenix v2, it was priced at $180 on a sale, he ended up buying a 3060 from gigabyte for $300... almost the same price as the 6750 xt. At the end it was a big improvement over his 1060 6gb, but he could have got something much better.
I think you should definitely go for an aftermarket CPU cooler for better performance, something like Deepcool CK-AM209 V2 would do the better job because it's not a stock cooler
If your building a truly budget pc it winds up being so cheap that you'll just build the next leg up when it's time I stuffed a i7 4790k paired with a Chinese rx580 into a 30$ case with a "questionable" psu and a year later it's doing just fine with plenty of heavy use
Sad part is... A lot of people who buy prebuilt like this are gonna think this is an awesome PC. When you have never used a good PC you wont appreciate or have a standard on what good is For the longest time i used a 1060 laptop and thought it was fine. When i custom made my 4070 ti super desktop and went from 60 hertz monitor to 180... It changed my world Now when i go back to my old laptop, it feels slow, gunky, and ancient. But before i got a really good PC, it felt fine. Without trying or playing on a good pc, the specs of what you built will feel fine and for some people, who may be a first time buying a pre built "gaming" pc... It will feel like a new world
I hate Asrock for putting out a trashy B650M-H/M.2 whereas the B650M HDV/M.2 is actually a really good performing board for the price. It's like they are dumbing their garbage by calling it just slightly different to better products so people get totally confused. I had to look up the correct name several times to make sure not to recommend the terrible one
The VRAM is the only thing the 3060 has going for it, making it a low barrier to entry for AI workloads. If you buy two, you have 24GB of VRAM. A new card with 24GB of VRAM is way more expensive than two 3060 12GB.
It would be super cool if you got all the parts for a good $750 dollar system and then rebuilt the crappy build one part at a time, testing after each update. That way we could see practically what difference each part choice makes... granted, that's tons of work, and bottlenecks might confuse the results a bit, but i still think it would be an awesome video..
I honestly feel the lag in Fortnite was mostly an internet problem, the teleporting around is literally what I'd expect from internet problems so i think you're a bit unfair there, the mouse idk, I've had my fair share to so with low power PC's and I have literally never experienced any of those two problems with even the weirdest screwed up setups
There's nothing wrong with being a vrm snob when you're doing a build on any budget, it ensures more future proofing. Idk if anyone would actually notice the latency on ddr5, or see the actual speed difference on a 4th gen nvme unless they have compatibility issues or it's just not working properly. What was AMD thinking when they released this CPU? For the graphics card, the 3060 and 4060 are pretty bad for the price in 2024 .
Will you do a video on how to protect your pc from blackouts/power trouble idk if a UPS is really necessary or what to look for in a surge protector that'd be great!
Those thermaltake PSU's are good for one thing, putting into spare parts builds with components from like 10-15 years ago that would never draw that much power anyway, and they are cheap enough that your not throwing away money.
I use the 3060 in my daily user/work pc. Still fantastic for 1080p gaming, mind you i bought it in 2021 at an outrageous price..ITS A VENTUS ALSO!! HAHA
Kinda close: same clock RAM, same chipset mobo, but is Asus, and I'm inclined to think I have the same M2 SSD because DRAM is too costly for my third world. And I mean, they rarely bring it here. You want DRAM? You have to order it, it is not in stores. Re-utilized case. Free beats anything. Apt? I made it apt with some coolers and a screwdriver.
- Cheap b650s are perfectly fine for future upgrades, unless you are planning to upgrade to some kind of a monster of CPUs. In any case there is little reason to buy parts with an upgrade in mind. In 99% you would buy new CPU + new mobo anyway. - DRAMless SDDs are perfectly ok for an average user, who do not plan to, say, work with video. Kingston is a respectable company. The real bottom line is a cheap chinese ssds build from refab memory chips - I've got 5200 CL38 Adata XPG, it works 6000 CL30 perfectly fine. In most cases you don't need expensive RAM
The only thing I'll disagree with you about is the 3060. If the 4060 had 12gb of vram, it would be a great card ever, but the fact that it has 8gb of vram means that it'll be obsolete soon. Sure, frame generation is a good thing, but you do realize frame generation uses up vram? You mostly likely aren't able to use it in demanding games as the vram will just be full At least with the 3060, you still have dlss and all that vram. It's only 10-15fps slower, but you can find it cheap used for like $200-$220.
cheap mobos are fine, depends on which one. The asrock B650M pro rs is one of the cheapest and has every feature that a "regular priced" B650 ATX would have
I have a Gamemax case that barely fits a 3-fan 1080 GPU. It has a mesh front, but using the 1080, I had to put the fans on the outside of the case behind the front bezel. It also has a tempered glass panel.
Wish the situation on the GPU market was better in Poland. For $300, you can get an RTX 4060, but the ones that aren't exactly on top of the rankings of all RTX 4060's, unless you're buying used. Hell, you can't even get 3060ti for $300.
I understand listing the limitations of cheap components, but I'm a little unsure as to why you messed around when installing the components and plugged things in incorrectly, etc.
I still use the little brother of that NVME XD, which is Kingston NV1. Bought it on early December in 2022 and later regretted it because NV2 came in 2023 for exactly the same price! Same Price but different Speed and Generation XD

At the end it was a big improvement over his 1060 6gb, but he could have got something much better.
I think you should definitely go for an aftermarket CPU cooler for better performance, something like Deepcool CK-AM209 V2 would do the better job because it's not a stock cooler
If your building a truly budget pc it winds up being so cheap that you'll just build the next leg up when it's time
I stuffed a i7 4790k paired with a Chinese rx580 into a 30$ case with a "questionable" psu and a year later it's doing just fine with plenty of heavy use
i have a 3060, honestly i bought it in 2022, and I feel like I just want to use it until I honestly can't, or maybe wait until the next gen comes out
Rage worthy build. I hated every minute of it!
Great job ScatterVolt!
Yeah I’m very glad I didn’t cheap out on my psu, the 850w psu is such a good thing for upgraded ability
Sad part is... A lot of people who buy prebuilt like this are gonna think this is an awesome PC.
When you have never used a good PC you wont appreciate or have a standard on what good is
For the longest time i used a 1060 laptop and thought it was fine. When i custom made my 4070 ti super desktop and went from 60 hertz monitor to 180... It changed my world
Now when i go back to my old laptop, it feels slow, gunky, and ancient.
But before i got a really good PC, it felt fine.
Without trying or playing on a good pc, the specs of what you built will feel fine and for some people, who may be a first time buying a pre built "gaming" pc... It will feel like a new world
I hate Asrock for putting out a trashy B650M-H/M.2 whereas the B650M HDV/M.2 is actually a really good performing board for the price. It's like they are dumbing their garbage by calling it just slightly different to better products so people get totally confused. I had to look up the correct name several times to make sure not to recommend the terrible one
I'm glad you informed me that I shouldn't build this, but it is still better than what I have
The VRAM is the only thing the 3060 has going for it, making it a low barrier to entry for AI workloads. If you buy two, you have 24GB of VRAM. A new card with 24GB of VRAM is way more expensive than two 3060 12GB.
I actually really like that motherboard because it lets you overclock memory really well with its 2 dimms, and a not terrible vrm for the cost.
It would be super cool if you got all the parts for a good $750 dollar system and then rebuilt the crappy build one part at a time, testing after each update. That way we could see practically what difference each part choice makes... granted, that's tons of work, and bottlenecks might confuse the results a bit, but i still think it would be an awesome video..
I honestly feel the lag in Fortnite was mostly an internet problem, the teleporting around is literally what I'd expect from internet problems so i think you're a bit unfair there, the mouse idk, I've had my fair share to so with low power PC's and I have literally never experienced any of those two problems with even the weirdest screwed up setups
There's nothing wrong with being a vrm snob when you're doing a build on any budget, it ensures more future proofing. Idk if anyone would actually notice the latency on ddr5, or see the actual speed difference on a 4th gen nvme unless they have compatibility issues or it's just not working properly.
What was AMD thinking when they released this CPU? For the graphics card, the 3060 and 4060 are pretty bad for the price in 2024 .
I see a budget timebomb on the desk, where a real PSU should be.
Will you do a video on how to protect your pc from blackouts/power trouble idk if a UPS is really necessary or what to look for in a surge protector that'd be great!
I'm pretty sure that "acrylic glass" is made from acrylic and not glass.
That PSU is really great for the price.
Those thermaltake PSU's are good for one thing, putting into spare parts builds with components from like 10-15 years ago that would never draw that much power anyway, and they are cheap enough that your not throwing away money.
I use the 3060 in my daily user/work pc. Still fantastic for 1080p gaming, mind you i bought it in 2021 at an outrageous price..ITS A VENTUS ALSO!! HAHA
Iv used that power supply a bunch never once had a issue or had anyone call back about a issue its just good value
This hurts because my PC is worse in EVERY way, down to having a mechanical hdd
Kinda close: same clock RAM, same chipset mobo, but is Asus, and I'm inclined to think I have the same M2 SSD because DRAM is too costly for my third world. And I mean, they rarely bring it here. You want DRAM? You have to order it, it is not in stores.
Re-utilized case. Free beats anything. Apt? I made it apt with some coolers and a screwdriver.
- Cheap b650s are perfectly fine for future upgrades, unless you are planning to upgrade to some kind of a monster of CPUs. In any case there is little reason to buy parts with an upgrade in mind. In 99% you would buy new CPU + new mobo anyway.
- DRAMless SDDs are perfectly ok for an average user, who do not plan to, say, work with video. Kingston is a respectable company. The real bottom line is a cheap chinese ssds build from refab memory chips
- I've got 5200 CL38 Adata XPG, it works 6000 CL30 perfectly fine. In most cases you don't need expensive RAM
Thank you so much for this information. I had a feeling this guy was misleading somehow
The Lag is a result of the Dram-Less SSD - which is effecting everything else.
me during the whole video: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
This video is a better comedy then most comedies.
I totally agree with you, this is the worse PC parts or worst value to price.
another day, another example of me choosing the worst possible motherboard in the world
The only thing I'll disagree with you about is the 3060. If the 4060 had 12gb of vram, it would be a great card ever, but the fact that it has 8gb of vram means that it'll be obsolete soon. Sure, frame generation is a good thing, but you do realize frame generation uses up vram? You mostly likely aren't able to use it in demanding games as the vram will just be full
At least with the 3060, you still have dlss and all that vram. It's only 10-15fps slower, but you can find it cheap used for like $200-$220.
Why? You bought the 3060 didn't you, haha. Justify your moronic decision.
Press 'F' for respect for those in markets where the prices are only low on parts like this...
Drill some holes in the front of the case.
Can't believe you purchased that case.
Video idea... Cheap case + modding improvement.
cheap mobos are fine, depends on which one.
The asrock B650M pro rs is one of the cheapest and has every feature that a "regular priced" B650 ATX would have
the mobo in the video is like 100 which is the cheapest you can get a b650 for, the b650m pro rs is like 30 more in the US but it is a fantastic mobo
leave the plastic on for best heat transfer
💀💀💀
I have a Gamemax case that barely fits a 3-fan 1080 GPU. It has a mesh front, but using the 1080, I had to put the fans on the outside of the case behind the front bezel. It also has a tempered glass panel.
It still got more performance power than my loved build (r5 3500 + rx 6600) from 2021 lol
Wish the situation on the GPU market was better in Poland. For $300, you can get an RTX 4060, but the ones that aren't exactly on top of the rankings of all RTX 4060's, unless you're buying used. Hell, you can't even get 3060ti for $300.
Can you do a video on a mini itx, 4k gaming build guide?
i can't believe he forgot the thermal paste smh.
scattervolt you forgot the thermal paste
I understand listing the limitations of cheap components, but I'm a little unsure as to why you messed around when installing the components and plugged things in incorrectly, etc.
Why not. It’s fun haha.
I'm with Moonstomper on this one. It was pretty cringe.
great video, also wondering what iem you were wearing while gaming?
I still use the little brother of that NVME XD, which is Kingston NV1. Bought it on early December in 2022 and later regretted it because NV2 came in 2023 for exactly the same price! Same Price but different Speed and Generation XD
Funny that the B650M H & HDV look almost the same, but the latter did great in HW Unboxed testing
