I absolutely love the value focused builds on the channel, there aren't too many of these on TH-cam. Its a good reminder we don't always need the best of the best!
It's very rare, that I just lean back in my chair and enjoy somone building a rig, but how can you not? The video is well done, the choices are well thought out and the narration is just so pleasent. Attenborough levels of soothing. Thanks for your awesome work, man.
Oz, you have brought back my love for computers and budget builds. I was tired of spending so much money on new parts and never thought about the used market since I was a teenager starting out. Your videos are calming and engaging and I love your ability to make most builds aesthetically pleasing. Thank you
Indianapolis is getting a MicroCenter this summer! I'm so happy I found your channel last month. I always thought gaming PCs had to be $1k+ to meet my needs, but you proved me wrong.
Good upgrade path to the 5800x3d, which is a top tier gaming CPU. Currently around $315, but even in a year or so it will still be very good thanks to that v-cache. Very impressive build
Heck yeah, always happy to see a new video from you. Now I am doubly happy because I just discovered that there will soon be a Micro center here in Indy!
1:49 Oz Drop Tips hahaha By the way, I built the previous 500$ build and I gotta say thanks man, you really saved me a lot of money I didn't have and the pc performs pretty well. I did change the GPU and it ended up being about 550$ or so, but still, following your advice and the "good enough" mentality is something I needed to learn. So thanks again for making these videos, I know you help a lot more people that are struggling with money to build good computers. Edit: some tips, this case is great, but the power button is actually really sensitive, so I recommend any of you guys who bought this case to go to your windows power settings and make the power button not do anything hahaha
Built a very similar rig from Microcenter two years ago: case, mobo, and CPU (although mine's a 3600X) GPUs were a no go back then, so I dropped in my trusty GTX 960. I recently upgraded the GPU to an RX 6650 XT and added some RGB fans and strips. It's been a rock solid rig and plays just about anything well. Always dig your videos! Super chill and helpful
And remember, if you are ok buying a used card, things like the rx 6600 can be found for about the same price provided you are patient enough to wait for an auction that goes for a much lower price
I just bought a B grade rx 6600 from overclockers UK for my first build. I got it for £200 which is amazing, the original price ranges anywhere from £260-£350
@@H31MU7 can confirm. in my experience, i bought a, RX5700XT, a refurbished model. it's been around 4 weeks already since i got it, it has worked pretty much flawlessly, albeit a bit hotter than my old GTX1650 Super, but is to be expected, draws more power. just make sure to buy from a reputable seller
The GTX 1660 Ti used is more in line with the price of the RX 580/5500 XT at around $100-$150 and its a good bit faster than both. You are not going to find a used RX 6600 for less than $200 unless you stare at ebay 24/7.
Or the 5700 XT that will net you a bit more performance for a little or around the same money if you're lucky. I got mine brand new just without the original box for £170.
I don't think it's particularly mind-blowingly genius to ... simply use older generation hardware, but the videos are still really well put together and I think it's nice that there is a youtuber who builds "new" PCs that actually cater to a lot of people's budget. Older cards often get lost in the shuffle from all this coverage of new and powerful products. People will almost feel "bad" for getting an RX6600 even though it's a true value champion and will let you play games on high/utltra-settings at 1080p60fps all day long.
Oz you always put out some great videos. You make it easy for beginners who are for the first time building a pc to understand how to build there own PC. Can't wait for the next video thank you.
Thank you for this video. I love my local Micro Center. I just did 2 $380 builds for a couple of clients and Micro Center had the best prices and deals around.
There's a big difference between cheap and frugal. You sir, are frugal. You get great deals and prices on products that are good without overspending but also without getting the worst options 🙏
Oz you are awesome. This video was really enjoyable and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise as well as your peaceful and loving nature.
this was my first build ever and i had a lot of trouble following all the cable management. my cpu cooler was different and it was huge plus i have big hands. but thankfully i got everything plugged into the motherboard correctly
i wish your channel was much bigger , its the most real situation when it comes to getting the best deals , being good enough , giving best value and making the right decisions . love your stuff.
I really hope that they put a Mirco Center in Middle Georgia. Atlanta traffic is a massive pain and a 4 hour round trip is just not it for me lol. So for now I'm stuck either going to the overly crappy Best Buy in Warner Robins/Macon, or ordering things off of Amazon. I think they said that they're going to be opening 25 new stores in a certain amount of time, tryly hope one will be here. But I doubt it since I'm not lucky enough to get good things built here lol
(Sigh) I am in Canada. US $400 is Can $550, and no Micro Center anywhere near me. But I am building am AM4 computer now that the older gen parts are on sale. Looking forward to seeing what is announced at Computex this year.
I love your content, as well as your friendly and ultra chilled demeanor. That alone makes me want to watch more of your content. It relaxes me. But not just that. I also appreciate your thorough and concise explanation and breakdown of your builds. Keep it coming. Thumbs up and just subscribed..
I love how easy Oz is making it look to build, like it is, because way too many people are afraid of building and waste money by buying a pre built system.
I was looking to buy/build my first pc to use for both my STEM focused classes and gaming. And I don’t think you know how glad I am that I came across your channel.
hey man, havent seen your stuff for a while, given m intrested in computers waned for a bit, but i gotta say your so much more confident in your abilities! so proud of you dude!
Enjoyed a cuppa coffee with this relaxing video, thanks! Also I seem to have very similar setup with 3600, 16GB but with 1070Ti, very nicely balanced build :P
Still wishing for a micro center in SLC, planning a trip to Denver to just get the experience of going there and not fighting best buy when the associate keeps telling me there is no such thing as a "display port" cable
Watching and listening to Oz build a computer is like watching Bob Ross do a painting...so relaxing...so chill!
ikr asmr too the roof
lol that was exactly my thoughts!
😂
Now he just needs a case with trees on it!
Perfect description for this channel!
I absolutely love the value focused builds on the channel, there aren't too many of these on TH-cam. Its a good reminder we don't always need the best of the best!
me looking at my 3080ti ryzen 9 7900x 32gigs ddr5 ram 8tb of m.2 and 12tb of hard drive space, damn maybe i overspent a little haha
@@ItsTooSlick yeah, maybe just a little.
@@ItsTooSlick
me with like 3tb of storage because i shoved 6 hdds from old pcs:
@@ItsTooSlickme looking at you find any excuse to talk about your build
@@RCX_Sco1let em talk about it, they paid for at least that privilege 😂
It's very rare, that I just lean back in my chair and enjoy somone building a rig, but how can you not? The video is well done, the choices are well thought out and the narration is just so pleasent. Attenborough levels of soothing.
Thanks for your awesome work, man.
I believe that you need to get out the scotch 😂😂
We need a Microcenter in the PNW. Portland, Oregon would be great. No sales taxes!
Oz, you have brought back my love for computers and budget builds. I was tired of spending so much money on new parts and never thought about the used market since I was a teenager starting out. Your videos are calming and engaging and I love your ability to make most builds aesthetically pleasing. Thank you
That's a LOT of computer for $400 -- way to go Oz and MicroCenter!
It is so refreshing to see someone on YT do a well-shot, good build that's at an affordable price. Keep it up!
I'm speaking on behalf of all your subscribers by saying: **we miss your content, bro***
Greetings from the Dominican Republic.
I love my local MicroCenter!! I can spend hours wandering around that store.
I'm not even looking to build a pc right now, I just watch your vids cuz they're cozy & relaxing!
Came across your channel recently, I love the cheaper approach to pc builds and gaming options. Not everybody needs a 40 series and newer CPU’s.
As someone who lives in Indiana, I'm unbelievably hyped Indianapolis is getting a Micro Center!
Indianapolis is getting a MicroCenter this summer! I'm so happy I found your channel last month. I always thought gaming PCs had to be $1k+ to meet my needs, but you proved me wrong.
I love Microcenter. I used them to get some of my parts for a $500 Gaming PC that I did.
5600x, B450M-A II, 16GB RAM, 5700XT, 1TB NVMe, 600w PSU
Glad to see a micro center coming near me in Indy, that will save me time and money!
👍🏆 Sitting in Florida super jelly over your Microcenter visit. I never been to a Microcenter. 😒
Freaking love these budget builds, thanks for looking out for the cheap folks ☺️
Dude you're the Bob Ross of computer building! Thanks for coming back
im a simple man. I see Oz uploaded , i clicked the video and it makes the rest of my day
Good upgrade path to the 5800x3d, which is a top tier gaming CPU. Currently around $315, but even in a year or so it will still be very good thanks to that v-cache. Very impressive build
pay with Power 42Cent/Kwh here in Germany
I wouldnt really pair the 5800x3d with that mobo if I was you
@emiliosp is there any particular reason outside of chipset?
@@ArtisChronicles power management i think
@@keylianembape to be fair, it's not really an overclocking chip anyway. It has a little lower power draw than the standard 5800x doesn't it?
Heck yeah, always happy to see a new video from you. Now I am doubly happy because I just discovered that there will soon be a Micro center here in Indy!
Wish we had a Microcenter in Oregon.
Oh hey, it's my build!
Maybe not exactly, but it's the same CPU, GPU mobo combo.

Hey man I need to know where plug in the rgb fans on the motherboard for the 500$ build, I’m going to build it but I’m confused on the fans. Thanks
I love how all your videos are so chill and relaxing

Oz does the impossible. Like how does he think of these builds!
This build has been done by ToastyBros and others already.

lol idk why you think it's so insane to do what he did. It's pretty standard for people that do it for a living. Good video though!
You have such a calming voice while doing everything, I need pc build guides by you as audiobooks lol
Oz you always put out some great videos. You make it easy for beginners who are for the first time building a pc to understand how to build there own PC. Can't wait for the next video thank you.
Hey man, love your content. It's so relaxing to watch
i'm a simple man, i see Oz Pc build video and I press like button
I love that case, I've used it on cheap systems and very expensive systems it's a just a great case all around.
Yuuuuuuuussssss welcome byke Ozi!
Thank you for this video. I love my local Micro Center. I just did 2 $380 builds for a couple of clients and Micro Center had the best prices and deals around.
10:52 Motherboard screws look like a UFO flying saucer on top.
They are short and wide have built in washers under the Phillips screw head.
Oz + Micro Center = The Best Collabs EVER!!!
I see a YT notification from Ozi, I click IMEEEEEDIATELY!
I build nearly the exact same PC yesterday, that mad. But Thank bro for guiding me to get a decent gaming pc over the years. Very appreciative.
oh snap, that's also my MicroCenter! Didn't know you were in the Atlanta area!
There's a big difference between cheap and frugal. You sir, are frugal. You get great deals and prices on products that are good without overspending but also without getting the worst options 🙏
I literally just built the same pc. Spent $450. Iam trying to flip it now. It games very nicely.
Totally agree this guy is the Bob Ross of the PC world.
Indeed
Oz! Always look forward to your videos brother. 😊
Oz you are awesome. This video was really enjoyable and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise as well as your peaceful and loving nature.
this was my first build ever and i had a lot of trouble following all the cable management. my cpu cooler was different and it was huge plus i have big hands. but thankfully i got everything plugged into the motherboard correctly
I always love the math in these videos still a great deal and options, keep up the good work.
i wish your channel was much bigger , its the most real situation when it comes to getting the best deals , being good enough , giving best value and making the right decisions . love your stuff.
Had a great time upgrading a nice Dell optiplex into a lil gaming beast, but this convinced me to buy everything new when I’m ready to upgrade.
I build high-end extravagent water cooled builds but I love this channel. So down to earth and fun
Let's gooo fresh build!
PC building is my therapy... Thanks Oz...

Oz, you need to hit millions in subscribers. You are the one of the best TH-cam personalities. I love Anthony Young from LTT also.
fav pc builder is back
Been watching your stuff for a few years now Oz, you're one of my favourite channels, thank you for doing these! Much love

So happy you uploaded, I was watching old content all week haha, love the vids Oz!

Bro, your videos are chill and relaxing...
its interesting how the much the value of your computer can increase with price, especially with used parts
ozzy makin the sunday relaxing af
Oz, could you make some upgrade advice for any budget (ranging from 0-$1k probably)? it might help some people!
This is exactly what I needed and I love micro center. Thank you!
My last build was 2003 😅
Any day oz uploads is a good day
Good to see you again, Oz. Thanks for the content as always!
Always the best vibes whenever I see an Oz video.
I love how easy Oz is making it look to build, like it is, because way too many people are afraid of building and waste money by buying a pre built system.
It’s just a shame that 99% of people either can’t get to a Micro Centre ….. or live in the US which Micro Centre operates 🤦🤦♂🤦♀

Just started binge watching you again today! What a coincidence! Good job again, Oz!
Much love!
Wow, great timber to the whole build!!
