At the time of filming, this component list costs $378 to buy from Amazon. This gives you enough of a budget to buy a Windows 10 key and still be under the $390 the Amazon "Gaming" pre-built cost me.

For anyone interested, the motherboard listed in the video description needs a BIOS update to work with the 3200G. If you are interested in buying those parts, please bear that in mind.
If you don't have access to an older Ryzen CPU I would suggest specifically buying a B450 motherboard that comes with a Ryzen 3000 compatible BIOS out of the box.

I recently built the same PC for someone with basic computing needs. Its hard to beat the 3200G's price for performance, with a little extra horsepower for the occasional game.

Counterpoint: Your SSD is smaller but it doesn't have 38, 000 hours of use on it from the factory.

I do love a good ol' PC boxing match :D Having just built my latest"beast", there's always a satisfaction of having built it yourself.

Dawid, the crap build wins in cores count. We all know that it has 10 cores.😂😂

I just can’t comprehend how they can market a PC as gaming, when it can’t even run CS:GO on low above 30 freaking fps. It’s a game from 2012.. The sad thing is that people who aren’t familiar with PCs ARE going to buy this crapbuilt for their children/grandchildren. And you really can’t blame them.

[WayStedYou]

I'm amazed they put a 3tb drive instead of a 2TB or 1TB drive

Dawid: pile of suck
Me sitting here with pile of suck playing at 12fps: *sobs*

Isn't the Deathmatch Arena of Death sort of redundant? :) If you use the Q300L you will need to add front fans if/when you upgrade as it's much toastier inside than it would seem.

Just discovered the channel and I wanted to say that the way you're saying "thirty" is worth the thumbs up on its own.

[savagecabbage]

Meanwhile my PC is hard to be considered built

[tonyk]

drinking game: every time he says "crap build" you take a shot

[emm.osorio]

When he said " Our build" i thought he was from the USSR

[rangasmash]

I get higher FPS on my surface pro four on CSGO than the amazon thing lol

[thedungeondelver]

Dawid you have rapidly become my favorite tech youtuber.

[Travishutcherson]

And it’s crazy how time changes. Just three months and it would now cost over 500 to do the custom build you have listed. Lol

[Russell]

Of course the custom PC will win, Love the video btw and wonder if you can make videos about retro PCs as well, YouTube wants more from you!

[alexk]

wow, comparing a prebuilt to a custom built pc! what an original piece of content! i never wouldve guessed the outcome! firsr time ive seen this in my life! glad you made this video!

[reaveralpha]

man these analogies are so random I can't stop laughing. Keep up the great work and I'll take a drink for that pile of suck hahahaha

[Darkcreeper]

I really like that you included the GPU upgrade and displayed the results. Thanks for the video.
