I decided to write an article on how to build the "better" version of this gaming PC 10:50
💛www.oztalkshw.fun/builds/an-easy-400-pc.
I don't recommend this PC outright, but I believe it shows how much BETTER performance you can get if you just pick up used components.
Lastly, I tested all the games with ReBar ON and XMP ENABLED.
That's all! Hope you enjoy!
Nice article. I was thinking watching this someone should pick up the $60 Ryzen 5 3600 off Aliexpress or eBay. Also a great GPU substitute, I've picked up a used 1070 in the past around that price point.
in pc partspicker it says. "Warning: The ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor with BIOS version P2.30. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, updating the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU.A"
first build for me so, is updating the bios a pita? Subd, thanks!
@@rustyshackleford5839 It can be, but the motherboard almost definitely has a newer bios so I wouldn't worry about that. Good luck!
Can you make a non online pc build like stuff you will see in stores
While being budget
I sold my ps5 for 450 and was not trying to spend too much outside of that on a PC. Checked the used market and got a NZXT prebuilt H1 for 450 with a i5 10400f and a 3060 12 gb with 16 gigs of ram. I would’ve never gotten that kinda performance buying new at that price point. Also, you’re helping to fight e waste which is huge. 10/10 video, Oz. Will keep watching
The 3060 alone is a win!!
thats a really good find you did there, enjoy pc gaming!
that's a jackpot right there
That is a fantastic price for that build, that's damn close to what I have in my own system. Welcome to PC gaming, and best of luck for future upgrades in that case
how tf u manage that!
It's crazy how much more interesting low budget pcs are, everyone knows what to expect with a $3000 pc but a $300 one? This was a fun watch. Great build!
bro that's a lenovo thinkcentre
The cabinet right?
the case sure resembeles an old lenovo think center
I thinkcentre it is too. 😂
Omg that is what that form factor looks like!
I should talk I bought one of the p520 think station
i buil a pc for my GF with a R5 5600x and a RX 6600 for 520 euros (taxes incluided) , not including the case (got it for free) or the ssd that she had on a laptop. for roughly 500 euros that pc is going to crush1 1080p gaming. very happy to build it tomorrow
your videos are therapy...gives me so much peace and makes me love PC building even more
I'm so glad!
2:00 - Looks like a Lenovo case. I like the handle.
me2. i really appreciate the design of the thinkcentres :p
this case remings me of old thinkcenter prebuilds :P
Your vids are so chill great job.
Did you turn on re bar or xmp. You did not mention that setting change.
Yes both turned on! Sorry, forgot to mention
With 6gb vram work? Isnt re-Bar for 8+gb?
@@manurz1 nope! VRAM amount is irrelevant for ReBar.
@@OzTalksHW actaully just sold my 3600 ryzn to a homie for $50 :)
@@xxEmeSiSxxI'll give him $100 for it.
I really appreciate how relaxing this video is-both in your tone and also your approach to building a PC. It makes the process of building a PC feel so much less daunting.
my favorite computer dude. i don't work on stuff much, old now. but i love watching your videos.
You have been my biggest inspiration to start working with computer hardware for the past 3 years. Best budget build videos helped me make a PC of my own on a budget. Amazing video as always🙌!!!
My daily dose of asmr PC building has been met 😌
im gaming on your 500 build rn and its working flawlessly thanks
haven't watched any tech vids in a while, glad to see one of my fave in the space still great at it!
this might be the channel i am searching for! thanks fun build
This is a good video on how you can start out. Each person can tweak the items based on their budget. Or maybe upgrade later. Even where I'm at in a large metropolitan area, sometimes second hand sales are hit/miss so something like this can get you going while you find/save money towards something better. That is also a super clean build.
I have already upgraded my PC as much as I can, but I am still watching your videos. Great content!
Wow! "I'm Lovin' it" Love the build man! Keep it up!
Always good quality chill videos. Thank you for your entertainment.
I absoutely refuse to believe that a man as wholesome as Oz plays the toxic cesspool of smite.
Very good video. I enjoyed watching thinking what the results would be
Great video as always bro
Nice build borther! easy and well cheap Gaming Pc
Thank you for including civ 6, its my comfort game. Awesome recs!
god I love when this man drops a vid
Very nice build Ozzie. I have two intel ARC cards and they both work great. Can't wait for their Battlemage cards to arrive. Take care.
Love budget builds - so interesting.
Love When My Guy Oz Drops A Vid!!
Always uploading great content. Have a chill Sunday bro.
Thanks man!
Cheers from Germany... Your budget videos are pretty interesting.
that case has an old IBM thinkcenter vibe to it
nice build
Love your videos Oz!
I run a 5800X3D and a 7900 XT, but I love watching you make every dollar count in a cool build. I also love the "non-gamery" look.
Nice cheap little build! I love the case too. Very reminiscent of old ThinkCentre PCs!
looks beautiful, clean and power
It's always a chill night whenever Oz uploads
Just watched your $500 build from two months ago and purchased all my budget parts just before this was posted! Cool coincidence for me
Kudos sir! I liked buying pre-built systems but im definitely going to build my own system in a couple weeks! Definitely going to get a better memory card though lol, used from eBay
great content - do an identical build sans gpu for use as a server - maybe upgrade cpu and then do a comparison - this sets people up well for expansion and upgrades
the case looks amazing, gonna usw this case
the broom and dust pan stance was tuffff
I love that case. I don’t know anything about computers but that case looks very refined. I don’t care for the overly gaudy, fancy ones with all the rainbow colored glowing lights you see on a lot of the pc build channels. This one is understated and pleasant looking to me
I kinda dig the faux thinkcenter case look. It would be cool for a stealth build.
I think this is more of a highlight in how well Arc is doing in optimizing drivers. Build this same pc a year ago and I would imagine the performance would have been way worse.
u doin gods work out here
I love the case looks cool good for the budget build
Other than the PSU, solid selection for the price! Always good to check out what’s on offer for the average user.
Great job awesome video
Great vid here. Microcenter has great deals on refurbished 1600 series cards. I'm going to pick one up for my sons PC. 1660 super for $130
It's something comforting about how you pet things lol
Alright, Oz, show me what you got
Edit: ARC A380, GOATED, alright you got this. Best hundo cart on the market. AMD's embarrassed, Nvidia's never even seen $100 in their life. Honestly at this price point, most people are going to be limited by their display, so I wouldn't even call sub-100fps a fail for Sub-$400, but I respect sticking to the guns. I hit 40-50fps in FF7R with A380, I had to record it to be sure lol
If you're willing to eat the occasional driver issue, sure, go for it.
@@1slotmech The only way these driver issues get ironed out is through user adoption and reporting, given the card is usable in the vast majority of cases, at the price point it's at the driver issues are negligible any way because you should expect dragons in modern games buying an entry level dGPU to begin with.
Honestly, Intel's come a long way and it's nice to see, having a third GPU vendor on the market again might start melting some wax wings with AMD and Nvidia; who've more or less totally abandoned the budget and lower mid-range market segment.
I haven't been as excited for a GPU release in years as I am for Intel's Battlemage line after hearing about some of the changes they've made to the architecture.
@@1slotmech Honestly, especially with Intel and even with AMD, everyone screams about driver issues, driver issues, like Nvidia's a perfect solved platform and AMD and Intel are riddled with ineffable crashes... both AMD and Intel have by and large been crash-free, and Nvidia's frankly got its own shares of problems. Intel's launch certainly looked rough, but having experience with two cards at this point, I can say in 2024 things seem very, very good to me.
@@1slotmechbro I’m a proud owner of a 4090 ROG and I recently got a ARC A770 for my son and I’m telling you, I feel like a dumbass paying too fucking much for the NVIDIA card 😂
I told some guys the arc would burn people out of their pride and joy. I knew the Arc would rule,
Cool build, I do wonder just how much difference there would be if the GPU were to be replaced with the second hand one you mentioned, since it seemed like resolution was your largest enemy for sure.

Minimum budget for the PC
MAXIMUM budget for the cosplay
Excellent video.God bless you and yours. Praying for you.
I like the concept of a plain Jane computer case. Thanks for this.
just bought a used rig for a home server / second gaming machine for about 260. ryzen 2600, rx 580 8gb that i scored locally, 32gb of ram, wifi am4 board, 600w power supply, and the same case as the one in the video lol. a few of the parts i grabbed were new like case, ram, leftover ryzen stock cooler, a random 250gb ssd i never used from an old build. pretty happy with it
Great video
this with the Loss Scaling on Steam is a game changer
Hey man, could you do a streaming and gaming PC build. I’m looking into getting into that but have no idea what’s needed for content creation AND gaming in a build
great vid 🤩
If you’re looking to build a solid video editing/streaming PC/secondary PC this is a great budget option to enter into that!
It looks like an awesome build especially for people like me, who doesn't play a lot, but still needs a good computer.
Used and BNIB section on meta and other places is the way to go. What you save on tax can be used to better your system.
IMO, a good build suggestion. This particular price point remains a bit difficult to recommend builds for while the Atl metro area has two particular stores with the 3600 still in stock at a decent price point. Having additional cores as opposed to threads has shown to be a preferable most use cases. Other locales having to rely on Amazon have a much harder time with the value proposition since things such as "actually going to get the part" can be offset in an unmentioned gas and time column.
In my opinion, your PC part selection is right on the money. I personally would have gone with the RX 6600. I know it's a bit more money but worth it.
Thanks for sharing
Honestly if you want a cheap gameing pc with warrenty on most parts follow this exact guide but swap out the Arc GPU for a second hand 20 series card and have fun.
Yep, I’d also go with a 3600 CPU instead - way faster, PCIe 4.0, same price
@@OzTalksHW good point
For an extra $30 but $30 here $30 there you don't have a $372 PC build anymore.
or a used rx 6600
@OzTalksHW for second hand cpu, I'd go with 3300x over the 3600 oddly good for gaming because of the ccd/ccx layout, I'm still using one now with an rtx 3060 and it isn't stumbling. Whereas the other 3xxx processors are all suffering with frame timing issues not fixed entirely by the 5xxx lineup.
All the cores sharing L2 cache is just that good.
always good to see you brother. i wish you happiness ❤❤
amazing video as always, hey can you slide wow classic into your reviews im sorry but all i play is wow classic (Cata right now) thank you Oz
the r3600 and 1660 combo is so affordable and effective. I got my cpu and gpu secondhand for like 150 USD altogether and it rules.
Hey! It's my fav guy! Also, you're giving cyberpunk vibes with the new hair color. ✨️ I want a budget pc that will handle Valorant and Sims 😅. Other than that I'll stick to my PS5. Still learning this whole PC building stuff, so I always appreciate your content! Good stuff! ❤🔥✨️
Right now in Marketplace a GTX 1660TI, or Supers are going for 100 to 80 in my area so that would be a way better fit. Then just game on it until you save up for a better card like a RTX4060 or RX7600 when it's on sale in November. As well as save up to get a decent 4TB NVME SSD (around $200 ~ $250).
liked how you redesigned your room video
Pretty sick setup. You can jam indies forever on a pc like that. Unfortunately in South Africa PCs are quite expensive so nothing is coming close to a PS5s power. My old pc is just for indies, all big hitters I just get on console.
Nice video. I've seen that case a few times on Newegg and just had to stare for a second to bathe in the nostalgia :P. In regard to your question at the end I'd be curious to see how this build performs on the intel platform with a 12100f. Would cost...$40 dollars or so more depending on the board you chose but the extra horsepower for gaming the i3 has and the pcie 4.0 support on the cpu would probably net a few more frames. I noticed the GPU wasn't always fully utilized in these tests.
The 380 was surprisingly cheap. Here in Europe you barely get the Arc 310 for that price. I think the Ryzen 4100 holds it back a bit by not having pcie4.0? You have a nice smooth voice that’s easy to listen to so I’ll subscribe 😊
One I love your channel.....Two when it comes to games now days
its best to have 8GB or more GPU.....I always install my OS on one
drive for boot up and have a separated SSD for my games...But all
and all Great Video!!! OzTalksHW
Thank you for the relaxing build, Oz! On future-proofing: considering Intel's tiny market share for GPUs, do you expect ongoing support for the Arc platform?
Great video! I think you'd likely be better off saving another $75 or shopping used for a GPU- I snagged a 2070 super last month for $160 with a easily-fixable bent back bracket. Thanks for always posting great low-cost builds!
The thinkcentre is such a good case though.
I was wondering about the CPU power in that 4100 and yeah it was just a little weak being a mobile variant of Zen 2 with 1/4 cache of the regular desktop CPUs. Used R5 3600 (or 5500) and GTX 1660/S/Ti FTW!
I have an old Viper case I would like to try this on.
I feel like at this point an Open Box ROG Ally would be the way to go. z1 extremes can be found for $400 USD and it's such a smaller form factor and come with a good controller.
How was the fan noise on the a380? I was tempted to get na arc card for my server but its kn my living room. Great video!
I build a similarly spec'd PC back in the days. It aged so poorly. but at least now I know that I need fresher silicon.
arc gpus drastically increases the fps with dxvk in most games not recommended in online games since you can get banned but if you have an arc gpu you should try it its a game changer for a lot fo games
The used market is gonna be insane in the future, just imagine how cheap am4 platform and arc gpu is going to be
Bro when ever I see your videos pop up on my feed , it brings a smile to my face . Just saw you ""PS5 Killer PC" Video it was good keep up the work 😊
Lol definitely not a ps5 killer, priced to get u into gaming but looks like shit plus you have to buy other Peripherals, not plug an ply.....
@@kevinkev1530 Yeah youre kinda right , But if I would spend like 500 dollars just for games , I think it'd be better to spend an extra 200 dollars on Peripherals for A LOT MORE! dont ya think?
it's hard to find any case at that pricepoint wiuth a basement for the power supply. all i could find had power supply mounted at the top
hey man, out of pure curiosity, i'd really like to see benchmarks with the RT performance of intel cards
I am always a fan of buying a prebuilt used computer. Something like an HP Z4 G4 or a Z6 G4 would be good right now if your on a budget. Then put all the rest of your money into a nice graphics card. Something like a 3070? I think you could get away with sub 500 bucks spent from Ebay or local. The Z6 G4 Would give you tons of room to upgrade. Practically future proof.
I like Your new look mbappe
Following this channel from 3ish years now and i enjoy every vids
Are those 120mm fans in front of that case able to get much air through that front cover? It looks like just a thin vented strip on it unless there is more opening tucked under where I can't see.
I got the Ryzen 5 4500 (6c/12t) for 85 USD, which is pretty good even in 2024 and supports ReBAR, which my Intel Arc A580 needs.
I added the PBO override of +200 MHz in the BIOS, a cooler I got off of AliExpress for like 15 USD (still better than the stock one) and I have to say that it's lovely so far.
Wish more games supported XeSS though and DX11 games seem to underperform compared to Vulkan or DX12 ones (e.g. Ghost Recon Wildlands has a less stable/good framerate than Breakpoint).
This video really showed well how amazing it can be to use second hand parts, for 370 bucks you can definitely build something more capable. The pc building market is starting to be more affordable again!
wtf i love that case
One of the reasons I like this channel is the budget builds (and vid quality tbh)
something happened to my pc last week to where my ram stopped working and my nvme m.2 slot on my mobo stopped working, i almost bought a new setup immediately but for now am running 8gb ram and a sata to nvme converter lol. i want to give myself a good upgrade path for around 200 bucks, is that looking like i3 13100f or r5 5600? ( for cpu, mobo and 16gb ram)
If you're staying with DDR4 you could add/replace the ram first. Sounds like you got a bad stick. At a budget $200 that makes sense. Windows with 8gb might be cutting it close for some games, but Linux with 8gb might be an option too (if you don't play Fortnite, am on Nobara Linux). Ryzen has more CPUs coming out if that is a system you plan to upgrade later. But the 13100F can also go with a B760M (paid 99 for one) or cheaper board feel that's a bit more terminal, you could upgrade to 14th gen (no point, it's a refresh). I built some cheap 12th gens on sale last year, that is an option too. Bad luck that both your parts went at the same time. I'd make 2 parts list see what you can get for 200, though I like AMD having more upgrade options coming in the pipeline still (even though I went 12th gen Intel). PCPartpicker has some build templates under Entry Level in their Guides, you could use and tweak. You could also check locally/online used deals. Only bonus on 12th gen or higher is the PCIE5, that won't be relevant for a while but the features on the boards were nice, some boards were PCIE4 for cheaper. I think both systems would be good, take a look at the new AM4 chips still being produced. I like that the 5600 is 6 cores though 12th & up are also speedy on Intel side. I like that AMD has the 5700X as an upgrade option, still hovering around 160 USD new.
Really modest build, I'm jealous, lol.
Ha ha damn Ozzy. How can I take you serious when you lookin like Wesley Snipes off Demolition Man 😂
