    Built a very similar rig from Microcenter two years ago: case, mobo, and CPU (although mine's a 3600X) GPUs were a no go back then, so I dropped in my trusty GTX 960. I recently upgraded the GPU to an RX 6650 XT and added some RGB fans and strips. It's been a rock solid rig and plays just about anything well. Always dig your videos! Super chill and helpful

      I don't think it's particularly mind-blowingly genius to ... simply use older generation hardware, but the videos are still really well put together and I think it's nice that there is a youtuber who builds "new" PCs that actually cater to a lot of people's budget.
      Older cards often get lost in the shuffle from all this coverage of new and powerful products. People will almost feel "bad" for getting an RX6600 even though it's a true value champion and will let you play games on high/utltra-settings at 1080p60fps all day long.

    By the way, I built the previous 500$ build and I gotta say thanks man, you really saved me a lot of money I didn't have and the pc performs pretty well.
    I did change the GPU and it ended up being about 550$ or so, but still, following your advice and the "good enough" mentality is something I needed to learn.
    So thanks again for making these videos, I know you help a lot more people that are struggling with money to build good computers.
    Edit: some tips, this case is great, but the power button is actually really sensitive, so I recommend any of you guys who bought this case to go to your windows power settings and make the power button not do anything hahaha

      The GTX 1660 Ti used is more in line with the price of the RX 580/5500 XT at around $100-$150 and its a good bit faster than both. You are not going to find a used RX 6600 for less than $200 unless you stare at ebay 24/7.

    Careful with the H18 power button. It's a good case, but the power button is held in by two small tabs that lock it into place. I've had 3 of these cases where I had a tab snap off which made the power button fall off. Other than that, I liked the case.
