I decided to write an article on how to build the "better" version of this gaming PC 10:50

I don't recommend this PC outright, but I believe it shows how much BETTER performance you can get if you just pick up used components.

Lastly, I tested all the games with ReBar ON and XMP ENABLED.

That's all! Hope you enjoy!

I sold my ps5 for 450 and was not trying to spend too much outside of that on a PC. Checked the used market and got a NZXT prebuilt H1 for 450 with a i5 10400f and a 3060 12 gb with 16 gigs of ram. I would’ve never gotten that kinda performance buying new at that price point. Also, you’re helping to fight e waste which is huge. 10/10 video, Oz. Will keep watching

It's crazy how much more interesting low budget pcs are, everyone knows what to expect with a $3000 pc but a $300 one? This was a fun watch. Great build!

Your videos, apart from teaching me about PCs, relax me and make me forget the bad things of the day, like for example that I have to look for a Windows key for my PC and I don't know which site to trust and that they are not so expensive.

[mambamentality]

your videos are therapy...gives me so much peace and makes me love PC building even more

Did you turn on re bar or xmp. You did not mention that setting change.

As someone who started in the IT industry almost 30 years ago building white box PCs for a hospital, that case feels like the off white ones we used to use back then (very plain Jane). I have only recently found your channel, but I am enjoying catching up with all of your content. Thank you and I wish you continued success.

Minimum budget for the PC

MAXIMUM budget for the cosplay

2:00 - Looks like a Lenovo case. I like the handle.

I really appreciate how relaxing this video is—both in your tone and also your approach to building a PC. It makes the process of building a PC feel so much less daunting.

[Pieteros]

this case remings me of old thinkcenter prebuilds :P

[rhysbutcher]

Honestly if you want a cheap gameing pc with warrenty on most parts follow this exact guide but swap out the Arc GPU for a second hand 20 series card and have fun.

I love that case. I don’t know anything about computers but that case looks very refined. I don’t care for the overly gaudy, fancy ones with all the rainbow colored glowing lights you see on a lot of the pc build channels. This one is understated and pleasant looking to me

I absoutely refuse to believe that a man as wholesome as Oz plays the toxic cesspool of smite.

My daily dose of asmr PC building has been met 😌

First I want to say how much I appreciate your dedication to budget builds. Not everyone has $2000 to throw at a high end build. You provide very helpful information for those on a budget. Once again, much appreciated.

However, I am called upon by my son's friends for information on building a gaming PC or out-right asked to build it for them. Many times they come to be with a $500 ish budget. I tell them, while it is possible to build a gaming PC for that price they should, instead, do one of two things.
1. Save up their money til they get to $1000. That is when you can actually start building a decent gaming PC.
OR
2. Buy a console (PS or Xbox). Either would provide you with quality gaming and no worries on upgrading your system for the next several years.

If you made it this far, thank you.

*Keep producing amazing content!

Honestly one of the best channels on the internet for nerds trying to save on a budget don’t change
