I give thumbs up because:
Video is short
Contains everything we need to know
No useless talking
And with a short overview how it performs with FPS in different games

that's how such videos need to be. short, informative and down to the point

I've done a little hardware work on my systems but watching you video is tempting me to build my own system. A small box for lan parties would be great

1:50 the cinematic with the drop in the music... Great! LOVE IT!!!!

[hyperprotagonist]

Firstly, quality video production. At first glance, I thought this was a big channel. Kudos for the great work. Secondly, I’d love to see a variation of budget builds. I see so many “gaming” builds but very few always-on server-esque builds without the enterprise price tag.

Cleaaaan editing, who is this guy!?11?!1?

[kai-ugn]

with 350 dollar you can get 6700xt brand new which is similar performance to 3070, and also mining graphic card has less longevity and prone to failure

I'd recommend avoiding Gigabyte boards. The b550i Pro AX and a520i AC both have issues with NVME drives that can make sleeping not function whatsoever.

Not really a budget system. But the vid is nice to see.

Man I want an ITX build, but I can't justify spending like 400 dollars on new components when my PC works just fine. My plan is whenever I jump to AM5 just biting the bullet and going for an ITX build, but thats a few years off till i'm willing to do it.

Sick build. I wonder if my 165mm tall noctua would fit in this.

[leedaq]

wish the SR200 had mesh filter on both sides

Awesome Video Bro! Really want to make a SFF PC Build myself but I'm not entirely sold on the idea yet!

[paulmcg]

Brilliant video, to the point, no fluff.

[mmb]

great build and benchmarks are great, nice video!

[Jebbles]

This isnt budget at all. An RTX 3070? Could you at least give legitimate budget alternatives? I definitely do not need a GPU that beefy.

[Xeonzs]

Definitely wouldn't recommend this for a first small build, too expensive components and it's also not really budget, I'd say it's upper mid-end.

Budget case? It's a 100 dollar, 150 if you want a color.
Meanwhile a midi tower is like 80 dollars or you can get something like jonsbo for 50 dollar, 3600 I can get behind, 80 dollar, but 5600x for 145 dollar is almost double.
You also really don't need such a high end motherboard for a "budget" build, you can get an ITX mobo for like 110 dollar instead of 190.
With those 3 things you can already save 50 on the case, 65 on the cpu and 80 on the mobo, that's almost 200 dollar saved right there and the best bang for your buck, way more in line with a budget build.
What you build here is a high end mobo, with a almost top-tier CPU (or high mid-end) for the socket in an a relative expensive case (at least cheaper than the fractal cases I guess).

At least well produced and compact video, not too stretched out.

Thank you for sharing, great content!! I hope to see more of this. Best wishes, and thank you once more.

[wangjjun]

assassin 120 is 157mm..
is that build can close side panel...?

[maxbow.gaming]

i feel like the mobo is always gonna eat a huge chunk of the budget when it comes to itx

[RaghavV-rkzn]

Nice video, it would be nice if you focused more on the build part, instead of just doing a timelapse. However, that's just my opinion, you might be going for something completely different.
