*When you’re watching a casual video of someone you’ve been watching for quite a while now (although until now mostly shorts) and you randomly find out the guy has been in the frycking Air Force for 8 years💀* Mad respect bro. Very enjoyable video as always and I personally love hearing backstories like this. Makes watching a build video like this way more personal :).
This video was in my recommended. I’m a console gamer in my early 40’s and have never played on pc. I’ve always played on consoles. My current set up is a PS5 connected to a 4K tv and I love how the games look. After watching some of my favorite gamers on TH-cam and twitch I decided I wanted to get in on the action. However, I don’t know anything about building a PC. I did a google search and quickly became overwhelmed, confused and discouraged. I then looked at what those same gamers were using and that pretty much killed the dream. I live on a fixed income due to disability and simply can’t afford what they are using. After a couple of days I tried looking for cheaper alternatives. But I don’t even know what I’m looking for. I do know what I want. To be able to play my favorite games on either platform and maybe even stream them without it looking like a hot mess. I suppose that’s how this channel fell into my recommended. So, I have a question, what do you think is the bare minimum I’d need to do this? Any guidance would be appreciated.
R5 3600 is a champion CPU. Having that Zen 2 architecture on a budget AND keeping ability to do a drop-in CPU upgrade later? Budget builders and gamers delight. Thanks AM4
Hey Zach! I just wantd to let you know that I've been watching when I was learning how to build my first PC until now I finished it. And I still keep watching your content on both full and short youtube. Your content are really entertain and knowledgeable as well as keeping update on PC news which really helpful! (: Keep it up!!!!
Nice choice,but am4 is also a very good upgrade potential because both platforms are dead but you can upgrade to like a 5600 like you can upgrade to an i5-12400
Nice budget build. I went with a 7700k and a 1080 Ti. It plays all of the games that I like on high settings at 1440p. The 1080 Ti is relatively cheap now.
As a nurse and someone who has frequent nosebleeds, that is not blood. It would be a crimson black/red color if it was. I still don’t know what it is though.
With each year passed, the building the good 500$ gaming pc is gonna be harder and harder, i missed those good old days when you can build the really good pc for 500$ price 😔
I'm saving for a similar build. Really looking forward to my first decent gaming rig since I was a console kid in the early '00s. These days there's no reason not to switch.
i wish that price fluctuation and lack of parts both new/used online wouldn't hamper building this ): I've looked into all of these and the prices/availability of them are maddening.
Worked minimum wage at a small shop. Most support tech were making $15+ I was making around $10. Late at night, a guy showed up and sold my boss a 1080ti for $500. I am pretty sure at the time they were 600-700. After talking to my boss for a while I finally talked him into selling it to me. That was my first flagship GPU. YEARS of penny pinching and saving and I finally had a high end GPU. My boss was definitely all about money and it was difficult to get him to sell me the GPU even with a $50 mark up. Crypto boom hit. Within a matter of days those GPUs were $800...900...and eventually $1200. My boss was CRANKY. "Are you going to sell it?" He would say. "Hell no" I would say. I got this to have the best, not to make money. He would say "Good. Let me know if you are thinking about selling" Years later I am a contractor at Intel. I am still a bit underpaid, but I make enough money to pay the bills. And I still have my 1080ti ^_^
@@ZachsTechTurf yeah my thoughts exactly, but it's what was available at the time I had the funds for... Besides I do plan on upgrading to the 5800X3D later down the line. I'm sure the motherboard can handle that beast. This is my very first build and I already had a decent case before getting the combo, the Montech Sky Two case. Going by your esthetic logic, I had to go with an atx board.
For about 50-60 (in euros) I managed to catch a b450 asus motherboard with bios flashback and full compatibility from ryzen 2k to 5k. I think it was pretty nice.
I genuinely think this is the best parts for a pc you can get for under $500. 1. RX 580 2. 12th Gen i3-12100F 3. 16gb ram 4. b660m motherboard (I hope Zach sees this)
With cryptocurrency slowly rising atm, I snagged an aorus 1080ti for around $100usd as a spare gpu. It's good enough to support 2 1440p monitors without any major hiccups. Currently running a 5950x & strix 3070 for my daily set up :)
I feel if you want a good pc it’s worth getting the newest cpu but getting a used gpu until you can upgrade and good case I found is the monotech air100 Argb has 4 pre installed fans and it’s pretty quiet and good for temps for $60
Is it hard to build gaming pc cus like im only 12 and my parents aint very good with this stuff butni was thinking of saving for one and buiding the exact same one u made
Cool, but that's just unrealistic. I didn't expect you to buy used parts for prices that aren't same for everyone. You just have to be lucky... which kinda makes this video pointless. 1080ti for 180 dollars ... yeah good luck in my country, more like 280... hopefully next build will be only with new parts with real prices.

I think you should use the 3600 with a 120mm cooler tbh, as it can get hot unexpectedly because of the Chiplets stacking that's harder to cool if it's the bare minimum wraith stealth cooler
I’m still often wondering how you get these crazy low prices lol. Lowest price I see the 3600 go on Ali is €75. But I guess I will keep track of that discord channel of yours!
Hello, I’m subscribing right now because this channel could really help me, Im a kid trying to play with all of my friends but I dont have so much money since my family is struggling, do you think I could change some parts and make this pc 600$ and not 500 to make it better?

Hello, im wondering if rtx 3060 ti compatible with intel h55 lga 1156 motherboard? If not, can you recommend me some good gpu and cpu that compatible with it?

i will probably get a ryzen 5 5500 which is slightly better in most games and is a lot newer so will have better support and is also a very similar price
