  • Should you build a $200 custom gaming PC? Here are the pros and cons of building a super cheap computer instead of buying a prebuilt or just putting a graphics card in a dell optiplex.

      ive have ruined a I7 7700 and board with a Smart PSU ,( its a really bad idea) , OEM motherboards many times only support certain CPU from a generation especially if they are that old,(generally 3 to 4 per gen.) the board you purchased may worked just as it should, (very irresponsible), you could have purchased a Rosewill tower and PSU together any day of the week for 50$ and a rx 580 sp as a normal rx 580 is over 150 watt and shouldn't be run on a 450 watt PSU , (very bad GPU chosen for the build do to power draw especially with the PSU you chose) , and Allepress can get you a X79 board in less than 3 weeks, basically new(kinda reman like), as far as ddr3 unless you just put it in the trash i would assume some is laying around somewhere(i know i do), 30$ for a 1 TB NVME and 20$ OEM Op. system and a 4 Ghz, 8 core 16, thread Xeon 2667 is 15 $ every day of the week, thats 200 $ and will hold you over until get the 200$ for a RX 6600 upgrade, but that is as far you could take it sensibly, the Rosewill Helix i believe has been put to use by OZtalks successfully . You might try again with a solid plan , might make a good follow up vid, and lead you to the pride found in honest humility rather than the LTT impression .(finding new and inventive ways for justifying your own short comings ) GTX 1660 would be more balance upgrade for the build though , and could actually come real close to fitting the 200$ build but it would take a few weeks of bargain hunting on that GPU, but it would run Alans Wake 2 okay (30 to 40 FPS) do to mesh shader compatibility not to mention NVENC hardware might make it worth waiting and finding a auction bargain (75$ instead of the Allexpress 50$ 580 SP) .

      First, grab a dell tower with components still inside, either found in schools or workplaces, just ask if they need it anymore or if there's one they don't use. Then, find a cheap gpu on the FB marketplace. Lastly, get some ram sticks to get some more power.

Had to put the box fan on a end-table that was turned on it's side to allow for airflow through the fan.

Acrylic side panel, RGB, and more storage. The performance is generally lower with such a tight budget, but the system is very balanced and perfectly useable.

    Sorry you got flamed for your choice of power supply. Around 6 years ago I recycled an old office PC from work that had a bad hard drive, built a gaming PC out of it using that power supply! It still runs to this day and my house hasn't burned down haha. Yeah I could've just thrown in a better gpu and called it a day, but moving all the components into a new case adding new fans and a cpu cooler was a much more rewarding experience. Such a rewarding experience that it renewed my passion for building PCs, something I hadn't done since my late teens/early twenties! Now I've built a much better gaming rig and currently saving for a high end PC on the AM5 platform. Thanks for the video! I love seeing people push these budget builds!

    You've basically built my 2012 gaming PC lol. Funny thing is, I was building it at the time on a budget too and picked the Xeon as it was comparable to an i7 3770 but at like $50 less. I had 760 in it that I eventually upgraded to 1070, so GPU is different. But the general idea of "at the time Xeon was the cheap way to get performance" persists today which I find hillarious.
    BTW I have that CoolerMaster case and the side panel is acrylic or some sort of transparent plastic. I genuinely scratched it while unboxing it. Also if you buy it, remove the power button assembly and dab some hot glue (just a bit) on post that hits the microswitch. Unless they made a revision of it in the last 2 years, the spring is easy to snap, but with the hot glue you make a stopper before the point of no return. I had to 3d print mine to repair it and that was on the second press of the button. Neat case but really cheaply made, wish there was a high end version of it with thicker metal, tempered glass and beefy front IO assembly.

    Just a minor comment: I would have gone with the Cooler Master case... Since it's a DIY build, and it will probably be upgraded from time to time, it's my guess that a case like that would provide a smoother upgrade path towards more modern hardware... But can't blame you for picking the other case for the color though... I too sometimes wish more color variants would be available in the entry level market..

    4:58 well for one it's a flower cooler design, which is basically just a bunch of aluminium sheets pressed together at the base and then shaved off to make the cooling block. It's a very cheap process.
    Also, tip on PSU for the future: the Kolink Enclave series are incredibly cheap 80+ gold fully modular (!) PSUs that retail for as low as $40-50 for the 500W and 600W versions, *AND* they have a B-tier rating at Cultists Network, which is a *very* respectable rating. I use the 500W in my media center PC and it's doing a great job. If you get one just make sure it's the KL-G series.

    I build a 200-225$ PC for gaming and coding and used similar components(For example basically the same SSD and CPU Cooler), but I took a cheaper Power supply, Gigabyte GA-A320M-H(Rev 3.1) Motherboard, Ryzen 3 PRO 4350G CPU and 16Gb of GSkill 3200mhz RAM. Now I use integrated Vega 6 CPU and it handles most of online games at medium settings 720-1080P(COD Warzone 2.0 +-30-35 vFPS on low graphics settings and Warframe 60-65 FPS on Max settings). Also that motherboard has a feature to set up to 4GB of Vram for integrated graphics, and it has a big impact on performance. And Now basically I can upgrade for smth like rtx 3050 for better performance and enjoy it with my 200$ PC).
    PS: I forgot to mention, that ALL components are brand new.

I only wanted a gaming setup to be able to video edit and for it to run Minecraft correctly lol. My laptops, which is all I had prior, struggled lol. I believe I can upgrade it later on if I want, which I will. But for now, it's chillin and doing it's thing.
