      @@danielhulan3058 on top of that, the majority of toasty bros “budget builds” involve either begging micro center to give them large discounts for bundling (even with components that aren’t in bundles) or building a PC using nothing but used parts and older Invidia GPUs, knowing well that by now a LOT of newer parts have gotten fairly affordable. They seem to have a disgust towards Intel cards especially, even though their drivers have improved by a lot

I am currently waiting on a B660I board to come in for the I5 12600kf I picked up from Microcenter for $70 (missing box) and the Intel Arc A580 I picked up for $125 (openbox).

    Great video. I'm sitting here looking at the same case which is manufactured by Ionz in the UK. I got a ryzen 5 7500F from aliexpress which was £60 less than a 7600 after tax. It took 3 weeks to get here but was totally worth the wait. The other am5 cpu that is very cheap there is the 7700. Even after tax it's £100 less than the UK price! I love the case, it was £45 in the UK and I bought some white mesh and magnetic tape to make filters as there aren't any on the case. Apart from that it's an absolute bargain.

      However, I have personally been using the same SATA SSD for over 2 years and I bought it used. So I am going to retire it to backup use only. I want to replace before it dies so I don’t suffer the unexpected blue screen one day.
      I will reply back with the write count on that drive. It was not used for gaming but it was heavily used 7 days a week. Maybe others can post their current use count and we can collect a little data on how long these actually last. My SSD is a SanDisk I bought in 2021 (in a laptop).

    @stolz_ar 13 днів тому +9

    TL;DR: Never cheap out on SSDs (and Power supplies).
    Many games, including CS2, will struggle or straight up NOT WORK with SSDs like that, because they come with 4GB files or larger. I know because I bought a Lexar NQ100 960GB SSD trying to cheap out and I had to learn this the hard way. The issue comes with files larger than 4GB. The controller can't handle them and the read speed will top out at 10MB/s which is lower, WAY lower, than an HDD. Best case scenario, loading times will be several minutes. Worst case scenario, like CS2, the game will freeze/crash trying to load huge files and most likely timing out. CS2 trying to load a map when entering a competitive match will result in you getting a competitive cooldown and losing ELO.
    Everything else on this build is fine.
