Hindsight is twenty twenty.
If only you knew..............
🤦🏻♂️😂😂😂😂😂
Looking forward to 2030...🤔 😂 😂
It’s 2021
0:00 "We're looking forward to 2020". Mmm maybe...
I thought the same thing xD
@@firestrikebs Same XD
That aged well...
stay in 2019 2020 is trying to kill everyone
I was just about to say the same thing lol
Thank you for the budget build. I can build this for a friend for Christmas he can start PC gaming with me!!
You're a good friend!
Are you kidding! I hope you are.
@@kramlol6514 bro, this video one is better, if i want i can put a fucking 16/32 cores processor in this motherboard, and is just put a gpu like 2080ti later. With this optiplex, you only can play for now, but after you will need to change the parts again
You're great
@@Created-by-Guilherme not true. at all.
I'm always disappointed by the lack of benchmarks at the end of these videos...
At the end of the video he says that benchmarks are coming soon. Relax
should just be part of the video not stretched to make more content! :P i am just impatient
Me too. I was thinking the same thing when I clicked this video. Joey Delgado dose a really good job at testing his pc's after building
@@gamerscore88
Well watch his stuff. Either that or have a little patience.
that's cause benchmarks would show that the chosen cpu is not even adequate for a "starter gaming pc" lol
This looks like a pretty good setup for your first desktop pc if you are getting into computers. You can get up and running on the cheap, but also have a lot of upgradability.
Also a nice touch with the details in throwing it all together. I feel these types of videos are often overlooked, so it is nice to see they keep popping up.
would I be able to add a gpu later on? or do the integrated graphics prevent that?
@@eamonbrannigan You can have both a gpu and integrated graphics.
You should do an upgrade path down the line
It's a b450. You can literally throw most ryzen CPUs in there. Just need to update the bios.
iAmPj literally?!,!,!
Agreed. Would love to see this one revisited. I've seen videos this chip OC'd with real world benefits.
That's a good video idea over time.
Any better AM4 cpu and a GPU. Done.
He looks like the kind of guy to sign a record deal with my pet chipmunks
Thanks for making it micro atx. People don't ever do that anymore! Dx
I cheaped out on my fans and now my computer sounds like a jet engine
You say this like it is a bad thing, mr joe.
@@_Gnome. not really gonna upgrade then to noctua fans after I get my 2nd m.2 ssd
I cheaped out on my psu EVGA BT450 (12$ on Black Friday) Was the only thing in my PC that made a peep till it went out 2 years later. Replaced with a 850w Gold Phanteks. The fan doesn't even spin up until under heavy load and even then its inaudible
@@keencolios591 I have those every time I turn my pc on it sounds like a jet taking off
@@dumbjackass123 then you have them at full rpm all the time then... Go into BIOS and change that.
This guy is a genius, helping a lot of lads out there for the greater future!
No he is not. Someone with a future has a job and a iq.

@@patmcintyre9912 and thats exactly what he has.
I'd love to see what the performance is with virtualization on this build. Thanks for the video, great content as usual!
Paul is the only one that remembers us, budget gamers. Gr8 video paul!
Thank you so much for this! I recently built an $800 build and have been loving the PC gaming life! So much so that some of my friends I left back on console want to come join me but don’t want to spend a whole lot and I think this is just what they need!
good games to test:
Older games people like to replay (GTA 5, Doom, COD, WoW, etc) with medium settings or something.
Brand new games. to show budget people what they are missing without a graphics card.
GTA V, DOOM, Witcher 3, COD Warzone, SOTTR, RDR2, AC ODYSSEY, CSGO, Overwatch
They still make dual-core CPUs in 2019?
esp. for "ultra"books.
Yes, and unlocked.
A used 2200G would be around the same price as the Athlon 3000 but much better performance. Might even be able to get a 2400G. Athon series are a joke only meant for office computers.
@@thomasp4902 *LowSpecGamer has entered the chat*
If you look into entry level laptops and ultrabooks that's pretty much all you're gonna get. I guess 2019 isn't as advanced as you thought. At least these newer chips handle 2 threads per core.
Real PC ... long time no see a PC build. It is always an amazing experience to see a functional PC build.
Just bought a i5 4690, 8gb 1866mhz ram, rx 580 4gb a corsair 500w psu and a deepcool gammaxx 400 cooler and a asus b85m-e mobo for 275 i bought a rosewill spectra c100 that came with an original rosewill blue led 120mm fan a 120mm red corsair fan($15 new) a 120mm fractal design fan(no color) and 3 off brand white led 120mm fans for only 30 locally so for a total of a little over 300 i am basically peak 1080p 120hz and im so excited
My old pc build that i had to sell in 2017 was a i5 4460 16gb ddr3 1600mhz, evga 750 supernova, r9 fury sapphire nitro, i miss that pc so much but im glad ive learned and been building computers for years now to know whats good
When can we expect the "upgrade" video Paul? I'm going to wait for that to decide which path to follow next

This analogy explains why you should not skimp massively on any one (or more) part, but some parts especially! (like, don't get a super sketchy heart. That's a bad plan)
@@I_am_Allan Yeah you could instead say that CPU is the frontal lobe of the brain and the GPU is the visual system (it's spread over a couple of lobes, not a clean separation. Limits of the analogy lol) I guess
Doing this as my first ever build..went with the 3 3200 and 32 gigs of ramand a 500gb SSD...for the wife as a bday present..just need a wireless card..may add a 570 graphics card on a later date..thanks for the step by step
I built my first gaming rig earlier this year with the same case went Ryzen 2600 with red devil rx580 and 16 gb ram ddr4 3000 and msi pro vdh mobo but I went m.2 hd it’s been awesome no hiccups and performs well for the games I play.

the CM NR400 also makes a lot of sense in this price bracket, I can get those cheaper than the Thermaltake case, incase anyone might care. The side panel is a little cleaner on it too
You helped me so much I can finally get a pc after years of saving
Looks like a good solid inexpensive build. And it appears as of right now that everything is available on Amazon! Just priced it out at $375..
I agree with this on the basis of new parts. On the hand of used parts, you could get 3x to 4x the gaming and workstation performance with a much larger amount of storage with a 6c12th or 8c16th cpu with 3.3ghz all core boost with going x79/x99 (depending on if you want ddr3 or ddr4)
I built a PC a month ago, spent ~$300. It uses Ryzen 5 1600 (used), RX 570, 2x4GB DDR4 2666 MHz, cheapest B350 motherboard, 128 GB nvme SSD, 1 TB HD, and cheapest case I could find. The PSU is form my old PC, and I got unused windows key form a friend. Works great, above average gaming performance. Very satisfied
Why everytime PC builders build a PC and state the cost, they never include the cost of the operating system...
One other benefit of building a rig, as opposed to a pre-built, is the manufacturer's warranty on each part. Pre-built manufacturers charge extra to cover the cost of the hardware manufacturer's warranty.
A powersupply with "ketchup and mustard" cables have the advantage that seeing what voltage is in the cables is very easy... red = 5v, yellow = 12v... in the olden days all PSUs had those colored cables
Cool video, Paul. I'd be very interested to see what that system made of The Witcher 3, Doom 2016 (a bit adventurous maybe) and/or some older 360/PS3 era games like Saints Row 3, Far Cry 3 or even good old Skyrim.
The Verge: You forgot TWEEZERS!

@@ibizenco That hopefully has a philips head screwdriver
I like your style! I always see other people make budget builds that perform better than this one, by use cheap parts. I’m one to use higher quality parts for budget builds, so the fact you’re using at least 80+ bronze and a Samsung drive rather than 80+ white and an Adata drive makes it better for me!
I’d love to see an upgrade path video for this build. I built a replacement for my super old laptop with this guide and would just like to know where best to go next with it as funds become available.
1600 af or 3300x both would be very strong gaming chips just depends how much cash you have left for a graphics card.If money is super super tight short term get the discrete graphics card and upgrade the cpu later.
R K going gpu first was the plan, but not sure where to go. It’s been 15 years since I was really keeping up with pc specs that I’m kind of lost.
Your comment about nvme going in afterwards. I would be more inclined to recommend that first seeing as the mobo you use supports it. You can find some decent size ones, or at least ones that match the size of the ssd you're using for more or less the same price if you look in the right places. That way we know the OS and main games aren't going to be bottlenecked at all by storage. Then you could add a normal ssd later on if there's other files you have that you don't want clogging up the nvme drive. Otherwise nice vid!
In your follow up please do a test of using this system as a small plex server. I'm very interested in seeing how this robust CPU handles a few 1080p streams, or possibly a 4k stream to a different computer. Thanks!
One day I want to build my kid a PC like this for Christmas so they can upgrade it year after year.
I have the same a Thermaltake case. It’s a beautiful case for my set up. I just went on Amazon to see if they had any left and there are only other buyer options and the cheapest one is around $85.
Really enjoyed your video! I liked the how you explained your way through the build. Keep up the good work!
I really enjoy watching your videos! My only problem is that, most of the time, youtube does not notify me that your videos are up. love the vids!
For a low budget gaming PC, take a look at the i3 9100F. Just 4C4T but single and quadcore performance beats a 2700x. In most games you'll get higher fps than with the 2700x and also it's just 75€ atm. The CPU cooler isn't that good but when using headphones it isn't that bad either. With this CPU you'll need dedicated graphics and here it comes to your choice. I suggest the 1650S it's just 160€ and handles most if not all games 60fps in fHD with high or max settings. If prefering AMD you can get the 5500xt but the 570 and 580 are also good options. When using a dedicated GPU you don't need 16gb of RAM. You can go with 2x4gb and upgrade later to 4x4gb.
All in all you'll spend under 500€ but get steady 60fps in all games.
CPU: Intel I3 9100F - 75€
GPU: Inno3d 1650S - 160€
PSU: Corsair VS 450 - 37€
SSD: Patriot P200 512gb - 54€
MB: Gigabyte B365m - 73€
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz 2x4gb - 39€
Case: BitFenix Nova - 35€
~ 480€
Note that these are prices in Germany and may be higher or even lower where you live
I do like your videos. Thank you! I have been using the same motherboard for the same reason. However, I would like to point out that you're not talking about the total price for the system. $350 won't include a monitor, speakers, keyboard mouse, Window 10-x or any upgrades. People often quote you as the price maker, and I feel that should not be the case. It also will not include price increases for things like supply and demand. Anyway thanks again for your effort and hard work. Congratulation to both you and the s/o on the new addition.
Not that I've built many computers (2 total), but I would have done two things differently. 1). I would have taken the included case fan and moved it to pull air into the case through one of the filtered intakes. This provides cleaner air for cooling and would reduce dust build up inside the case as it will provide a little bit of positive pressure inside the case meaning dust is less likely to enter through a unfiltered opening (path of least resistance). 2). If planning to install a discrete graphics card in the future I would have gone ahead and plugged the power cable for it into the power supply. It is much easier to do while the power supply is out of the case and prevent one from having to take the power supply out or leaving it in place and fight with plugging it in the future. Great thing about this case is that you can hide the graphics card power cable in its basement until a graphics card is installed.
Last thought, when installing a graphics card in this build get a blower style OR an additional case fan. Either would be a good way to pull the additional heat out of case.
Bring back the chipmunks 🐿 bro, there was no need to steal them
I think most people (especially during the holiday season) could see this as the best entry into PC gaming. Fortnite, Apex, Overwatch,ECT. Curious if it will push those popular AAA titles. If not what it will need in addition to achieve this?!?!
nice, my cousin was asking me to build her a pc for about $350, so perfect.
For $46 more you can get Paul's original 500 dollar AMD build of 2019 because it is only $396 rn. You get a quad core AMD Ryzen 2200G 16GB RAM the MSI B450 Tomahawk and the cooler master master box lite 5 with 3 RGB fans. Im surprised how the price dropped from February to now. I built the PC as my first build and i love it! Definitely worth the $46 more. Oh also a 480GB Team SSD.
Edit: when i built it around the holidays it was $396 its actually $410 dollars as of December 29th 2019. I still think worth it if you have a little extra cash to spend.
If you are on a budget I'd recommend getting a used gaming PC. You can usually get a better spec pc for the same price if not cheaper than this budget build. I've gotten 2 used PC's in the past few years and they've been great.
" it's the end of 2019 and were looking forward to 2020 " hahaha oh we couldn't of been more ignorant.🤣 love ya Paul ( no homo )
Free pc build plz
c A N I Ha V e A f R Ee PC ?
When your mobo is more expensive then your cpu.
When you're making a video and didn't realize you were putting your PSU in the wrong way. Lol. Thank God for Premiere Pro Paul 21:31. Thanks for making these videos it made my build pretty easy for my first build. Thanks again.
I think that mechanical hard drives are still a functional way for OS's. However, you will get better loading times with a SSD of any kind. The benefit is more space at lower costs with a mechanical drive. You will not get more FPS from a SSD, just better loading times. If you use a separate HDD for storing just games, load times are very much different from sata SSD's in many cases. SSD's do better multitask loads in general, which is why a SSD is good for a OS but a mechanical drive is not a option I would opt out of if you need that space though.
Definitely would like to see how it handles common games like Apex, Overwatch, Rainbow Six, etc.
Thanks for the great tutorial! I’m doing a similar build, so this was really helpful to watch! :)
Nice build! I love how you really went low price here.
When it comes to configuring RAM allocation for the APU's iGPU, set it as low as you can. If the iGPU runs out of dedicated memory it will flood over to the rest of the RAM, which it is already using anyways. So you get the most RAM for your system that you can for normal use. I don't remember where I read/heard this, I think it may have been hardware unboxed of gamers nexus, when the 2200G came out.
It's amazing what $350 can buy nowadays! I spent $450 in 2013 to get a crappy AM1 processor and 4GB of ram, with an r7 240 2gb
I'm typing this on a 5350 AM1 APU 8GB of ram but no video card.
If you called them rainbow colored cables instead of ketchup and mustard cables it would be a whole different vibe. I'm sure I've said on one of your videos before that for a tech, color coding is a plus when solving/debugging problems.
A beginner level build would be kind to suggest a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Someone that is just beginning wouldn't have any idea how to pick good accessories at low prices.
Phanteks p300 is a dream to build in, looks stellar, and is 60$
THX ALOT IMA GET IT FOR CHRISTMAS MAYBE
$350 is a good starting point for building, and is a lot easier for people to afford than the $1000 mid level computers most people sell
I could be mistaking, but I think you could mount the SSD right side up on top of the PSU shroud / bottom plate and run the cables underneath (-: happy face
I love these types of computers that people can easily upgrade in the future.
I got an i7 2400k, 16g ram 1t hard drive, 1660 asus graphics card, got a dell 19" with gaming keyboard and mouse, almost future proof, to an extent and all for £400 off ebay, there is plenty to pick from. Still save your self a packet.
EEEEXXCELLENT. Great Vid and Merry Christmas / Holidays
Trying to choose between this board and the asrock b450 steel legend (full ATX) but the reviews for both are scaring me.
This is the coolest tech video I've seen lately (and I see a lot)
I think there is one additional component that most people will want even more than a discrete GPU and that is a Wifi card. Personally, I would insist on a card that also handled Bluetooth. I can see that there are serious gamers with high end systems that will run cables just to reduce latency and get a more reliable connection. But I think a person building a budget gaming PC is probably going to be fine with the limitations of Wifi and therefore be more likely to want a wireless card so they can position their system where it is most comfortable and convenient. The last time I ran an ethernet cable to a desktop was probably 2008.
For £400 $520 I got a ryzen 1600 and motherboard 8gb ram and a Gtx 1080. And my motherboard is compatible with ryzen 2 and 3000 series chips
I used this case and I love it so much
I'd probably go with the Ryzen 5 APU with Raideon graphics for about $148. More cores/threads. I'd also probably add a DVD optical drive as I still have use for them, and the cost is low. I like the fact that this motherboard's graphic hw can drive two displays.
Case fractal focus g mini ( two fans ) and the saved money will be a crucial ssd.
Test how well the 3000g handles transcoding as a budget media server build
Good looking case. I wish it was available here. Can you do a dedicated casing selection guide?
I built my rig in it with a 140mm tan on top and 2 more in the front ( r5 1600, 2x4gb 3000mhz ram asrock steel legend b450m with a gtx 1070 and a tt tr2 600w psu ) runs what I play maxed out minus a few games on high
I reversed the rubber pads and mounted my ssd on the back side
That case also has a blue led strip in the front that runs on Molex
Perfect emulation machine
I really like this I have an oversized version of this but I have the 1050ti
I appreciate the info you give us on build of the months but as i look in my wallet i realize a budget($1500) for me would be an "all-in" build that includes pc plus monitor, keyboard, mouse, and possibly headset. Can you do an all-in build please?
Hey Paul. I bought all of the components for the list in your description to build my own version of this budget pc. For some reason, the mother board came in the box but the sealed plastic its supposed to be in was ripped up and the screws and brackets were floating loose in the box. I'm pretty sure I'm missing screws too. Just want some feedback here
Terrific Verge level parody of how to not to explain a basic build process
Hey Paul, love this build! Could you show how it runs action shooters such as Destiny 2 and Warframe? Would love this as a console replacement that can be upgraded later on. Thanks!
Ive been saving £10 a week to the point I have £500 now. I'm honestly lost when it comes to the best upgradable system but this has been really helpful.
YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD FOR 2020!!
go to heaven baby
this is god damn genieus
If I want to browse the internet on a super ultra wide 49 inch monitor thats my decision Paul!!! I'm building my gaming pc for INTERNET!
looking to do an ultra-budget build for my 10 yr old cousin, and this fits the build! however, what runs on this? a sample of a few games would be nice.
I'm 63, I'm not going to browse the internet on a smartphone. Old computers have issues (parts crapping out) so need something cheap, and if I ever do get over vertigo, I might go back to gaming occasionally.
I would like to see some benchmarks at 900p on some popular Esports titles; free-to-play mmorpgs, shooters and looters. It would give us an idea of how much this thing can do. Here's some suggestions below:
Fortnite
Apex Legends (might work at 720p)
CSGO
PUBG
Rocket League
League of Legends or Dota 2
Smite
World of Tanks
SCP Secret Laboratory
Tera
Star Wars The Old Republic
World of Warcraft
The Elder Scrolls Online
Skyrim
Team Fortress 2
Minecraft
Roblox (I'm sure some parent out there would be happy to see this tested)
Destiny 2
Warframe
Halo Reach
Crossout
Eve Online
These are games out of my playlist that I've played a lot over the years, and people still play quite frequently. It's a good list as people that buy a budget computer are going to get budget games, or want to play some popular titles without breaking the bank.
First I have to say I like your videos so keep up the hard work that you do. Now I have a Pre-built 10 year old system by CYBERPOWER and it has treated me very well over the years but its been some time and I need to upgrade.
Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Memory 2x8 16G HYPER DDR3 1866
Mid Tower system
My problem is where to start a $1000 system so that as I buy components they will all be compatible and yet leave room for upgrades at a later date. I hear about Mother board and CPU compatibility and for instance a AMD CPU and Mother board is where I don't know where or what to purchase. Is there a thing to look for so that components are compatible?
You mentioned integrated CPU with Graphics, well if that is the case does that mean when you upgrade to add a Graphics card the CPU will need to be replaced?
I know computer cases are not expensive, but do you recommend Re-Using an old case or is it not worth the trouble. My case has a Optical DVD drive, and space the an additional three dives, plus on the bottom it has 2 quick install slots for 2 SATA Drives ( I have 2 3.0 TB WD Black) and they crashed my system, so they are not being used at this time. I use an External WD 12TB Easy Store drive for storage.
I have no issues building a system from scratch, but then what, I never want to limit my system to future updates. Case too small, motherboard or graphics card will not fit, new memory not compatible with old motherboard and then new components require more memory or better power supply.
So is there a PC Parts configure website that can effectively help me make some decisions in purchasing components that will be compatible with one another?
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buildcores.buildcores_flutter
I miss the old parts guides where you talk about the parts and why you chose them for that price point, you built one and gave us the benchmarks, and that was it. I dont need a monthly build guide, and ended up skipping most of the video because of It.
Putting these parts in PC Part Picker I get this compatibility warning: Warning! Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Picasso CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions. .... Anything I should worry about for this motherboard or is it all good? Thanks for the vid. This is my perfect route to getting into PC and slowly building up a machine.
For gaming needs.. You at least need a terabyte.. I fill up 500gbs in no time.. There's nothing wrong with buying a faster hdd.. The only thing that will be slower is game loading by a very small margin, and boot up time.
I'd like to see rx 570 gpu then later upgrade to 1600x/2600x or 3500x then upgrade cooler lastly vega 56 or 5600XT, i would also use a320m and 200ge for very tight budget 200ge now cost $30 when you upgrade cpu and add gpu go b450 now and the unused 200ge and a320m would make a nice family computer.
love to see if this would work as a streaming only pc to connect to a gaming rig.
Love this build i was able to pick it up for 310$ on amazon
Btw a ryzen 5 is listed at $69 on amazon rn go cop and you need it
Good luck getting that R9 to work on a B450M
