    In my opinion, if someone is planning to be a PC builder and gamer in the long term, purchasing quality components to use again might matter. This means quality fans such as the ones from Noctua, or a good practical airflow case you may use in many builds. I ended up spending actually more by not doing so in the beginning.

    Thanks for this video. I recently got into PC gaming and bought a pre built PC which came with some very decent and also not so decent conponents. I'm now looking to upgrade about half of them this upcoming summer and the more research I do, the more my estimated cost goes down (still meeting my standards, of course)
    P.S. If any of you watching this video are debating wether to build your first PC or buy one pre built, 100% build your own. It is a bit intimidating, but it took me an afternoon to figure out all the basics. I bought mine as an impulse buy on black friday. I got my money's worth, but I didn't get all of what I wanted, which is the best that you can expect from a prebuilt imo.

It was probably like 50 hours of studying over those 2 weeks.

      I want to build my own but one thing im confused about is what do i do about the OS?

      But if i build my own from the ground up how do i get windows on there without having to buy it separately?

    • @JM-hj3sm
      @JM-hj3sm Рік тому

      @Gorilla Pimp I already had a license key that came with my prebuilt. I know there are ways that you can get Windows license key pretty cheap. Just be careful where you get it from.
      I have a USB boot drive, which is just a USB flash drive that has the OS on it that I can use to upload it onto a computer if I have to, but I'd still need the product key. There are guides online on how to do this, it's pretty simple. I'm just not that good at explaining things. I think you can use a product key from an old computer you don't use, even if it's not Windows 10 or 11. Just make sure it's deactivated on your old computer.
      If you're only option is to buy a new product key, consider using Linux OS instead. It's a perfectly good OS. It is a bit daunting to download and use at first, but there are flavors of it that are quite easy to learn and a ton of guides on how to install and use many different flavors of Linux. Many people prefer Linux. I have used many different versions of it at work and school and am constantly debating wether or not I should switch over to Linux or have it duel booted on my computer.
      TL;DGAS You can download Windows onto a USB and install it that way. There are places where you can get a cheap product key, or you can use a key from an old laptop or something. If you're considering spending over 100 bucks on a product key, Linux OS is a free alternative to Windows OS. You can find guides on how to do any of this online, including here on UA-cam.
      I hope I pointed you in the right direction. Goodluck.

Speedy storage actually does matter but again, I'm sure there's an art to spending appropriate vs ridiculous in the same vein as a motherboard.

      @@BrucePain-_- bulk storage? SSDs are still bad value for money when you need absolute volume, although far less so than it used to be. As for who'd need that much storage, audio/video recordings take up huge space. Let's calculate because I've got nothing better to do.
      A 10 minute audio recording at 48kHz sample rate and 24 bit depth is over 86MB in mono, multiplied by amount of tracks you record which for drums is 10-20 microphones depending on size of kit and setup. A 10 minute recording project of drums is 860MB-1.6GB. If you also add a normal band setup with 2 guitars (each guitar doubled per industry standard), bass, and two vocals (usually also doubled), you're sitting at 19-30 tracks, at so 1.6-2-4GB per 10 minutes of recording.
      4k60fps video recordings are also HUGE in size, at around 750MB per minute. A music video project for said 10 minute song in 4k60fps is at least 7.5GB in size. Usually it's at least double because of the recorded material that doesn't make the final cut.
      Both cases disregard retakes which usually aren't deleted beforehand if at all either, and we're still talking minimum of 16.6GB in total for 10 minutes of finished product.

      Yeah I have tried to explain to people before that buying a more expensive CPU to "future proof" doesnt really work. Whether you buy an i5, an i7 or an i9, theyre all going to become outdated in 3-5 years time as their IPC is similar and majority of games are more fussed about IPC than they are about raw thread count.
      Theyre also all going to be on the same socket so all the motherboard features start become outdated at the same time too.
      One of my previous rigs was a 3rd gen i5, it wouldnt have mattered if i had bought a 3rd gen i7 instead because i still wouldnt have DDR4 support, m.2 support and with the same clockspeed the difference in FPS is minimal. So i wouldve upgraded around the same time anyway.

    One of the things that i've been doing to stretch out my budget for PC parts has been buying them over the course of the entire year, and when i've been altered on PC Part Picker that the part(s) i've been interested in getting has gone on sale. It's helped make it easier to stomach the volatility of this year by letting me focus on getting X or Y part when, say, PSUs were out of stock and overpriced.
    Also, buying certain components used can help save a good chunk of change, provided you know how to test them individually.

      Agree. A cheap PSU will cost you more in the long run and may very well burn your house down.

Usually, spending just like $50 more can get you something that's way more easier to work with.

  • @Fingobob

    Hey Jayz, thanks for the post. perhaps one way to look at it is to split the budget in rough % for each component eg 50-60% for GFX, 25-30%% for cpu, 10-15% for memory ( or whatever ) and 35% for mobo. that may give us a way to balance the budget on a scalable value build. it would give us a rough framework for a 500-1500 dollar build on the main 4 components. Just some thoughts

    • @crackwitz

      That adds up to 120-140% but I get your point... Which is different from the video's point: independent of budget, spend sensibly on the least important parts, THEN spend the rest on the GPU. More budget doesn't mean to spend more on the mainboard.
