Building a $300 Gaming PC Is Easy

I built a $300 gaming PC.

[XTRMXPRTKILR]

5600g could've probably be the best one for igpu gaming

[kermitthefrog]

Part list:
MSI a520ma Pro motherboard
ryzen 5 4600g
8 gigabytes of patriot viper 3200 megahertz Ram
256 gigabyte Patriot p300 m.2 SSD
thermaltake smart 500 watt power supply
thermaltake versa h18 case

Nerfed the APU with single channel ram.

What I would have is firstly bought a micro itx motherboard that’s cheap and r5 5600G with a cheap cooler for around 30$ and 32G of ram or 16GB for finally a micro itx case that doesn’t break the bank

[someguywithmtndew]

you're so much better off getting a ryzen 5 1600 AF and RX 570

[RadoWave]

Could have gone without a case so you could get a gpu

[popcorn]

I’d have definitely gone with more ram or at least duel channel because that APU is going to suffer seriously. I know it’s a very low cost build but 8 gbs just doesn’t cut it in 2023

Dual channel ram wouldn't hurt, but I don't mind since 8gb is bare minimum for gaming and it's probably the first upgrade anyways. I would definitely use a better PSU though. Get a good psu so it won't hurt things and it can stay as the pc is upgraded. Depending on the future upgrades planned I'd either do a 600w or a 700w option. Current specs it'd be stupid, but when you swap mobo cpu to a current gen mid-high end cpu you'd be happy to not need a psu as well. Or if you want something like a 3070ti/3080.

Budget pc generally just means you can't drop a large amount of cash at once so it's important to plan out upgrades. I did that and while at a time I had a 11400 with a 3070ti and 850w psu, in the end I've got a pretty banger 7900x for it and never had to upgrade the same part twice. Looked stupid up until the end goal almost 3 years later

I would suggest ditching the fancy case and opting for a free old oem case and going for another 8gb of ram for future proof if adding a gpu and maybe more storage

[josepio]

I know it goes over budget but 16gb ram makes sooo much of a difference and you can get 16GB 3200mhz ram for around 35$ and also 256GB is way too little cause you can fill that up with just a few games so I recommend getting 512GB or even 1TB if you have around 60$

Meanwhile I'm over here planning out my dream PC lol, first gaming PC was $400 and used an old i7 and a 2gb GPU

[TPCV]

For running office apps and Roblox 9/10. But simply cannot be called a "gaming" pc with no GPU. I know adding a GPU is impossible if "new" and whole system under $300 but, still. Now, make it sub $400 with GPU, lets GOOOO I wanna see what you find (used).

A better option would be to take an old dell or hp or even acer PC and put something like an arc 310 gt 1030 rx 550 gtx 1650 or even a rx 6400

[Vvanilla.a]

can you make a more detail video in how to install everything? im nervous and i don’t want to mess anything up

[Wsaint]

I spent almost £350 and got a 5600g with 16gb ram and 500gb ssd

[RandomDudeOnYoutube]

I built my second pc for when friends are over for around 320... i7 4770k on a Msi Z87 Gd65 which i delidded and oc'd to 4.6ghz... 16gb 2400 ddr3 which i Was impressed that it runs lol.
Aaaaand a Vega 64 Strix which i got cheap.

[knrck]

theres no gpu and thats kinda a problem but if you are extremely desperate for a gpu, get the gt 730

[rudr]

if only it was that easy to build with 300$ here in india 😢😢😢😢
Pc part pricing is absolute shit here

[GroxVFCvr]

bros getting more fps than me with almost triple his ram 💀

[alandale]

I found a b450 motherboard couple of them in fact for 75 to $85 range paired with a Ryzen 5 4600g for $100 with the stealth cooler and a $100 Rx 580? Thoughts 🤔 I know it goes over the $300 budget but I think it's a great budget starter build
