Honestly he could rethink his decision in the last seconds when he's in the store and buy the 5600X + RX 6600 8GB for roughly the same total price instead
@@sihamhamda47 but theres no upgrade path. You could only stay am4. Youd be in my current situation with a 5600x, b550m board and an rx7600. Yea it plays and will for a bit but no upgrades other than ryzen 7-9
@@MrMarrok657 Not really, just get a 5800x3D and a 7900xtx or whatever newer GPU you want and you'll be set for more than a few years for sure, that 3D cache still works wonders for games
WHY do you build the cheapest PC with an APU and test 1440p ??? Are you ok Austin ?
AM5
With upscaling I guess was his idea? Idk lol
@@Katzelle3 yeah the AM5 igpus are better (by a lot) with the am5 series CPUs but still not good enough to get anything over 30fps at higher resolutions than 1080p.
@@Classy_Car
The idea is to have an affordable starting point that gives you one or two years time to save up another 500 for a GPU and then another few years for a new CPU
cos Austin
Go with a 100 dollar cpu, 180 dollar rx 6600, 30 bucks for ram and an 70 dollar motherboard. This beats the living crap out of the 8600g and overpriced am5 parts.

My new thinkstation will either be a good competitor or kick this thing around. Considering that its a 6th gen Intel CPU means it probably wouldn't blow this out of the water but being a xeon means it will definitely keep pace.
If your going to be doing the cheapest gaming computer. You got to go in to the store and buy the cheapest stuff. NO matter what type it is.
Open box items are the strat
This is true, happened to me mid feb.. which was last month got a 5500 and a 3050 rtx as it was the cheapest combo i can do.... lol and its kinda shitty now im upgrading to a 7600xt and a ryzen 7 5700x hahahaha spent nearly doubled lol

Dew yew knot know how 2 right?
he said cheapest GAMING PC, not cheapest PC
Not sure if you've made this decision because MC didn't have reasonably-priced RX 6600s in stock on location, but you should've just postponed or declined the video then. At sub- or at 500$ levels, you DON'T go with a very overpriced AM5 APU. You go with a ~100$ CPU and an RX 6600.
swear even i made a smart choice by contacting a school and just picking up a recycled computer they werent using and it was an i7 8700 that i got for free and a gtx 970 and my budget was 270 dollars
I swear, the amount of times these two have put out the same videoconcept at around the same time, Austin and Linus have their cycle synchronized :D
At least linus uses Cheap products where Austin buys mainstream products that don't represent "cheap"
And JaysTwoCents and ETA Prime and about 5 others right now, lol.

The same type of video as linus in less than a week. Coincidence I think so
what do you expect, Austins content has gotten so braindead recently
there's a difference between slowest and cheapest
@moxlolol Why are you watching him then?
He content is better than %95 than other people that do the same thing 🎉
Yeah but Austin has a way better personality & I personally think a better way of presenting it.
Right..😅
At entry level, they wouldn't be playing 1440p, they would be happy with 1080p
It's 720P "upscaled" to 1440P.
1080P native would perform much worse.
Guy is so out of touch he forgot what CHEAPEST means.
he always picks expensive stuff whenever it comes to buying on a "budget" like check out the cheap vs expensive gaming series where "$1000" is considered 'cheap'
yeah. It's a little slap in the face. Not a big one. just a little slap. They should pick a knowledgeable but poor person to do these. anyone in the comments will do
Yeah I mean they could get an am4 APU and get it around 300 lol
This is the cheapest pc that is actually worth building
"I know there's AM4 but I'm gonna go with AM5 and an APU"
That build was stressful! 😅
My rig cost around the same.
It's a Ryzen 7 3800X, 2080 Super, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD and 4TB HDD.
Just gotta shop around.
What made you go for that cpu and those storage drives.
@@Meezaenzo because all you need is a FAST SSD as boot drive and main programs, rest can be on HDD. and 3800X is still a very decent gaming CPU (3700X user myself)

Be sure to enable EXPO. The extra speed makes a difference. I ran the 8700G for a few days. It was *OK*, but it had power delivery issues.

I bought an refurbished system with r5 5500x rtx 2060 for under 500$ and any day ill prefer this system over austins apu build
Check the tile
keyword new
Ikr, I'm just saying that used is better than the new pc atm.
When has new ever been better than used? Congratulations for stating the obvious.@@bhushankarape777
I love that you released an entire three-hour PC building tutorial, then threw this PC together in ten minutes
I cant consider a computer without a gpu a "gaming pc" just feels wrong. Any gaming pc NEEDS a gpu regardless of its strength.
For the same price, you could've gone with something like an i3-12100F and an RX 6600. Also, how on earth is this the "cheapest" new gaming PC, and who games at 1440p on an APU?
🙂 he's trying to be goofy like linus, dont take this build seriously, but yes on the intel 1700 side and ur at microcenter u could go like u said: i3, basic matx board, 16 or 32 ram sticks, and for video card power supply it depends on what card u would like to try out. For example if u want to try out one of the new Intel ARC cards those cards are power hungry so ur looking at 650W minimum + Intel Arc. they have refurbished 1660 Supers so if u do that then u can get away with any 500w thats in the store. And the case can be anything in the store I would check the clearance sections and see if theres any steals
This seems to be a thinly-veiled promotion for the AMD 8000-series APUs.
What other justification is there for making a "cheapest" PC where all of the components (minus SSD) are far more expensive than the actually-cheapest components?
Either that or Microcenter didn't have the other components and it was a Microcenter promotion.
That case, as it always does (it's an oven!!) killed your time....and all of the latest AM5 boards need a BIOS update for the 8000G series to work. I used an AsRock Lightning board and updated the BIOS without the need to require a processor, it worked great. My 8600G system is making my son a very happy camper as Roblox and Minecraft are his go to's. For the money, it's a great system with room for upgrades down the line.
I agree with your use case but for anything more performance hungry an 8500g is never really a good choice. I think Austin could have done better on this one.
@@MeezaenzoNo question, at MC it was almost too easy. Still, this is a good setup if your needs are minimal.
how to upgrade the bios if pc not turn on?
@@rainnaxilMost new motherboards have a button on the rear IO that allows for this. Simply plug in a drive to the designayed usb slot (most are marked for this) with the latest BIOS on it and press that button. Most don't even need a cpu installed, just a power supply. There's usually a blinking LED that lets you know what it's doing (look at that motherboards manual for that) and that's it. It's usually very easy to do and just like that your BIOS can now handle the shiny new 8000 series APU.
Two ways this could be changed for better performance. First is faster RAM with the 8600g would have helped as the pack grabbed was only 4800MHz, I bet Austin could have been below $500 with faster ram - a620 still allows RAM overclocking. Second is that a Ryzen 5600x and a RX 6500XT would have cost the same as the 8700g and given better performance on the cheaper AM4 platform.
Also no budget gamer is playing higher than 1080p 😁
Love these series where you build what’s at micro center. Maybe a whole pc build and setup?
Best thing would be get a older gen gpu for that extra 100, like a radeon 580/590

Ssd prices are insane!?! I got a 1tb full speed pcie gen 3 (3500 mbps) a few months ago for $40 and now they charging $30 for a 256gb with half the speed!?!
SSD prices have been going up in the last few months
🙂 yes the factories have stopped producing, to force the market prices to go up, the samething if happening with food and lumber
Always test the mb combo before installing.
At the PC store I worked at you could actually have it tested in front of you for free.
Quite a time saver!
Gotta love the budget case champ, Q300L. Been using mine for 5 years now and it's stuffed to the brim with parts that have no business being in a Q300L
linus standing in the corner laughing💀😭
I would like to see a ryzen 4500 with a520 board and a real graphics card go up against what he had
thats what ur suppose to do, this build was really to just goof around with, not to be taken seriously
Watching this video is crazy. The build part of the PC should be relaxing.
Did you make sure the memory was tuned in the BIOS? Was SmartAccess memory an option? Never having used onboard graphics, I don't know.
Video idea: you and someone else compete to build a cheap pc(or whatever budget the video requires) but the catch is you don’t get to pick your parts. Someone else for each gets to choose.
Every time I see a Micro Center video, I check to see if there is one near me opening soon (Its not). Got 2 in my state and one is a 3 hour drive and the other is a 4 hour drive. I guess its nice to actually have a store in my state *shrug*
i have that exact case, and depending on PCI placement of the motherboard it can place the GPU fans too close to the PSU causing it to run hotter than normal as was the case with my 3090 lol. but it is cheap and easy to build with
a system with a ryzen 5 5500 and a rx 6600 would make a lot more sense.
Exactly! Also for the same/similar price I think. But way better performance with a viable upgrade path!
that pc would smoke this thing
You would be stuck with AM4 then
@@Katzelle3 you're acting like am4 is bad now because am5 came out. Am4 is still just as fast as it was before am5 came out... It's super viable! Especially with the 5700x3d being out now too. There is an upgrade path if you wanted to upgrade.
@@djbotello How often do you swap out the CPU on a motherboard?
Facebook market lowballing is my passion
Good I wish we had a Microcenter here.
Hey Austin, another problem with the AMD 8000 series APUs is that you only get 8 PCI 4.0 lanes for the GPU, so a future upgrade will be quite limited.
Any GPU that will saturate 8x PCIe4 bus will be hopelessly CPU bottlenecked with either 8000 APU anyway. While there are some niche uses where that would be a factor, for most gaming it shouldn't make much difference.
Nice, I just bought my most expensive one, it was $5300. That includes having microcenter build it and the 3 year warranty because I was paranoid on parts that expensive.
sounds like u have money eh? its 250 for them to build it. What did u exactly get? Did u use their 10% Microcenter Credit Card? that would have saved you 500 dollars rite there. 🙂
q300L was the first case I bought. CRAP for airflow even with all fans in at max. my 5600x was at idle always around 50c. got an nx410 for maybe $10 more and it idles at 30c or less depending on room temp.
The Radeon 780M is an surprisingly good APU to game, especially if you do not have too high settings enabled. I for myself am not in the 4k and so on games, i prefer "normal" settings and that is with the 780M definately no problem i think.
Dude how I wish we have stores like this in Canada
If i was doing this gaming build i would of opted for ChimeraOS which you could of seen a little more stable performance and the only downside is that you wont be able to play games like Fortnite but if the person was playing CS2 and maybe OW2 they might get more frames because of the Linux side of gaming and this is with the 8600G i am referring about.
ok but an actual reasonably good budget pc would be
8600g
2x16gb ddr5
B650 mobo
1tb gen 4 ssd
seperate air cooler
750w psu
any case
this should be easily under 750 usd and will give amazing cpu performance, 32gb ram, fast ssd, headroom for psu, and 60 fps on most AAA games at 1080p lowest, with the ability to save up and upgrade to a high end gpu like a 7900gre
U could do so much better for 750.
I never see them get a main gear power supply for some reason. I went to MicroCenter a few months ago and got a 1000watt platinum modular for $80. Something wrong with those?
im rocking the same case and its absolutely great for the money!
Always wanted to see how the integrated gpu would do in 1440p and now I can finally see it!
Bro....u did it... TAKING THE CASE OUT OF THE BOX...is unpacking not actually building it... u said BUILD. Means put it all together.....u smashed it
The Q300L was such a good choice for a case. I have that case right now for my budget build.
i7 8700
GTX 970 (im broke)
16GB DDR4
512GB SSD storage (x2 256GB)
Q300L
Had the same issue with my newest build with the bios not being updated out of the box like the sticker on the box says.
🙂 its shady AF, and microcenter wont flash the board for free, they want 50 bucks, u end up going back to the store wasting ur time and getting a refund, then paying more money for a motherboard that works
i mean, you could just do a registry edit, and turn off the watermark on windows.
Especially since itll update, and work just like normal (again) only downside to
"NOT" activating is that watermark, which is 100% capable of being hidden.
This would work fine as a streaming rig for console right? Running a capture card to the pc
I guess we got a sneak peek at what happens inside Wish pc assembly factories. 🤣
@AustinEvans
This was a great build, with one exception, no dGPU. You need one. APU's are not for gaming. They're just not. Even a used GTX1060 is better than that IGP.
Literally built an AM4 version of this same system last night 😂
for gaming it doesnt really matter which gen atm for m.2 ssd, theres like 2 games that use direct storage and the vast majority of games dont use it atm...so getting a larger gen3 ssd is fine, 2-3yrs from now, maybe not so much, I drive 2x970 EVO Plus 1tb/ea for gaming only, no issues, my system loads in like 15sec usually so yeah...Dont overthink storage right now, just get as much space as possible, for content creation, productivity, moving files, etc, yes, faster is better...
🙂 imagine me, im still running all my games off of 3.5 Server Hard Drives
Watch the number of PCIe lanes on that 8600G for upgrades.
1. don't use 1440p use either 1080p low or 900p high
2. apus NEED high speed memory especially on ddr5 6000mhz is the sweet spot on amd am5 for APUS and cpus and the performance will be MUCH higher
I am very disappointed of how out of touch this video really was for people wanting to put together a system with these new apus at least give it a fighting chance next time please
Ryzen 5600 and amd 6600 would perform better and would be cheaper overall factoring in am4 board and ddr4
AM4 is last gen though
A new chip would force you to buy a new mb and ram later
@@Katzelle3 true, they don’t say newest gen though, you can still get am4 brand new so? It’s still supported and getting mew cpus as of last month
@@SkylineGamingStudios
No the 5800X3D is the clearly the swan song of AM4 and in three to five years or so when you decide to swap out the CPU you basically have to swap out half of the computer with it
@@Katzelle3 the 5700x3d was just released this year. I didnt say better, I said new. Again. Cheaper and better performing than the 8600g. But yes you can add a gpu to it later on and itd be better. I can give you price break downs if youd lioke
@@SkylineGamingStudios
It is more budget conscious to wait two years to buy one component than to wait three years and buy four
Lol LTT did one like yesterday aswell
Now I need to see a gaming pc build speed run!
A race pc build between Linus LTT and Austin would be dope, … three pcs , budget pc, tiny case pc, then hard line cooling pc.
In Canada there is no way you can build a decent PC for $500usd.
But I ordered a decent MOBO 12,13,14th Gen Intel mobo from Ali express and a rx580 new, for a total of $259 cad, plus import fees probably 13% on top. And I ordered a 1tb m.2 nvme PCIe SSD and 16gb 3200mhz quality ram for $151 cad from Amazon Canada. Total cost $410 cad all in.
I have an older case and a brand new 750watt PSU with 4x PCIe 8 pin connectors I got from Delta Server Store as an apology for having wrong PSU info on the desktop I bought from them. Awesome place to get workstations and servers on the cheap.
Oh god I've built like 10 systems in that case and it's such a basic case does have some thermal issues but overall a decent value
🙂 they have a couple newer versions with better airflow but they cost a bit more
Austin using a LTT screwdriver is crazy
What i really want to know is how can I my hands on one of those sick Overclock media coats
Should I Upgrade my gaming computer from GeForce 1060 graphic card and AMD 8350 8 core processor vs buying a new one with GeForce 3060 or better with a better processor? Best buy (geek squad) told me its better to buy a new gaming pc instead of Upgrading , because of overclocking the system...what is the best answer to this?
Bought open box Lenovo Legion Go of $70 more and sure I am happier with that than I would be with this pc. Not to mention not counting screen , keyboard,and mouse in your build
In multiplayer gaming do you think it Is it better and faster to have a high end pc that can run with all the options on high Or have a lesser PC and turn all the settings to low?
best is a middle tier pc + most people turn down the settings
a less good cpu and a gpu would probebly give you more performance
P R O B A B L Y
I dare you to use a budget intel card@@ChrisPBaconGaming
@@Meezaenzo I have and it worked just fine for the time. It definitely gives better performance than integrated graphics. I would obviously recommend a 6000 series AMD over intel all day, but if you really are limited on your budget at the moment. Than an intel card would be more than okay until you decide to upgrade. There are hundreds of videos proving this same point. Go watch toasty bros, Linus, nerd on a budget, and so many more. Austin is just out of touch on what is practical. So good try trying to clap back, but I’ve been dealing with PCs for over 10 years and stay up to date on all spectrums. From budget second hand builds to $10,000+ custom new builds.
I would love if they came to UK and tried to do same thing even the cheap stuff is over priced but first you have to find a store that sells it. Hmmmm be a short video
Austin picks up a APU. Tries to game at 1440p. This APU is for 1080p gaming Austin.
Austin says, "It's not going under 30fps at all." Nobody plays Fortnite under 60 fps Austin.
Not even a minute into the Fortnite gameplay, Austin says, "I'm getting real frame time variances."
Me: YA THINK?!?
...
...
I cant.
I'd spend the extra money on the power supply and CPU. It's a bit of big deal. Especially if you're planning to upgrade later on. You should show the difference between the CPUs when equipped with a entry level GPU. I bet it's a major difference.
That extra $100 might be better spent on faster RAM if using an APU. Id hazard a guess you'd see more of an improvement in gaming performance than going from a ryzen 5 8600g to a r7 8700g. RAM bandwidth will be the main bottleneck, not the apu with 4800mt/s RAM.
Dont know exact prices off the top of my head, but pretty sure that $100 would comfortably cover the difference between 4800mt/s RAM and 7200mt/s(or thereabouts)
🙂 agree but thats the problem, normally somebody building an integrated graphics PC is broke AF, normally u would buy the cheapest ram board power supply, so they would never ever have bought this thing if u told them 'bruh u gotta buy the fastest ram kit' , it makes the whole endeavor stupid. Its already been talked about on other channels. This is snake oil and very unfair to the broke people out there and the normies that have no idea that they are wasting money on a crippled system.
I envy the US and Canada having Micro Center - the very last store in my (not small) town that sold internal components for computers recently ceased stocking them, and now only sells pre-builds that honestly leave a lot to be desired (weird CPU+GPU combos, never the right amount of RAM etc) or Apple products. That means from now on the ONLY way I can purchase computer parts is via online stores which kinda sucks ... especially when you need something urgently, like your main SSD has finally died after six long years of use.
Unfortunately, they aren't everywhere here in the US and what you can purchase online from them is limited and most of their best deals are in-store only. We used to have a Fry's Electronics near where I live, but they went out of business a few years ago and were the closest thing we had to a Micro Center. Now the only thing we have near us is a Best Buy and they aren't great.
@@wairgald Still better than absolutely nothing though. And best deals being in store is something I actually like. That's how you encourage people to visit and keep your stores open. The problem with a lot of other companies is they put their best deals onto online-only purchases and then wondered why nobody was going to their stores and why they were having to close them down.
You should've bought a lower processor and added a mid tier video card.. even one from the 2nd hand market if you wanna do some gaming on a budget.
The best way to get windows is to find an old computer from work or another place that's free. Then you can get the windows key and transfer it to your new computer. That's what I did. From win 7 to win 11.
well instead of upgrading to next gen cpu you can go for a cheap second hand gpu even if it is like gt 1060 it will take a lot of load of the cpu
Classic Austin, needing a BIOS update after the computer's already put together.
I'm thinkin about switching to pc.. would a graphics card help frame rate?
Depending on the setup
🙂 sure broh, look at something with a 3050 or 3060, if u get something with an RX video card like a 6600 or better please make sure u pickup a new monitor as well because Old Displays dont work with RX most of the time
Should've gone for the absolute cheapest new items like Linus did recently with the Celeron + 1630 combo (which sucked, granted, but it was a fun video) or at least with some sensible choices lmao, a $100-$120 older CPU, cheap motherboard and rx6600 would've been a way better idea. Also, testing budget components in 1440p is crazy.
For those comparing this with linus's build:
1: Linus used second hand components(gpu)
2: he could obtain components from various sources(austin only has microcentre which doesn't necessarily have the cheapest possible price for the product)
3: linus's system is quite outdated while Austin's is new and fairly future proof
It's easier to just look at gaming laptops and compare specs to price. Also whatever clock speed it has, read it as half, due to their compact size, most laptops aren't well ventilated to actually support their specs, meaning it will run fine with power processor at 55%, maintaining 80 and under 90 degrees under heavy load to prevent damage to the components, unless you're trying to buy a new one every two years, but that's no longer budgeting. 💻
Should have also took into consideration deals that micro center has
we need a mirco centre in the UK

Screws in screws while on an unstable cardboard surface. Mashes screwdriver into screws as the motherboard flexes underneath. Proceeds to give me anxiety while i watch.😂
F1 pit crew computer build. No Red Bull pit cew but impressive still yet.
Should have gone for the bronze PSU, because it would have payed off with efficiency!
We’re cooking with this one
Should've got more RAM so that APU has a bigger buffer
Watching documentary on Russia : Quiet
Austin: TODAY WE"RE HERE AND YOURE GOING TO SHIT YOUR PANTS.
APUs have gotten a lot better in recent years but without a graphics card, you still won’t have a gaming PC no matter what (unless you only play old games).
I wish they was in NC and most they parts you didn't have to pick up in store
You should do a build of the cheapest build for BG3 and games like hellblade 2. Like newer games. CS Go and fortnite are older games. I want to see something to play new games.
Maybe Ryzen 5500 (90€) and a RX 6600 (200€)? Pretty close in price (only 50€ more than 8600G in my country), definitely much better performance
You forgot to factor in everything else
@@DrProfessorBello Well you can get a cheaper motherboard and RAM for the Ryzen 5500, so it's true that it's probably the same price or maybe even cheaper than a 8600G setup.
@@EragoEntertainment with the specs you mentioned in your original comment, a build with those components would be pretty cheap either way and a much better buy than the 8600g. What I mean was that it wouldn't be as close in terms of price (still close nonetheless), it's just that you need to factor in all the other components (ram, motherboard, psu, case, cooler, etc.), that's all.
I live in Florida I wish there was a Microcenter here but all we got here is Best Buy😂😢
Microcenter has Shippable Items, u dont have to go to the store

NZXT has a pretty good gaming PC for less than $749 that can do 1080p no problem
Why is is that the first test of CS2 you use harder-to-run settings vs running the more powerful cpu on easier-to-run settings? What are you trying to hide? What do you gain out of that?
