Low budget PC's slap when you have to hit it to start working again 😆😭

[ThingNumberTwo]

For a $200 custom build, it's definitely a PC that punches above its weight. The office PC + GPU method is a good foot in the door, but this is definitely a great next step for anyone wanting to explore the hobby further.

THIS is what I come looking for! Creative builds on a small budget!

[tomfps]

That PC is beautiful for only $200, it is crazy how good of a pc can be built with such a low budget, I would say that pc could go for maybe $350-400, those aesthetics are really good for that price of a pc lol, great video NOAB

[eckostream]

Thermalright does everything in house, no outsourcing like the other company, that's why I heard they were that much cheaper.

I built my best used parts pc a few months ago for $170. Ryzen 2600 (with stock-ish cooler that was with the mobo), ASRock A320M/ac, 16gb G.Skill Trident Z rgb (2x8gb), PNY GTX 1660 Super, random mATX case with a mesh front panel. I had an EVGA 600BA psu and 5 upHere argb fans with a hub from an old build. And I bought the 1tb nvme new from Amazon.
Love your vids. Keep up the great work and have a blessed day.

I was almost going to ask how you got those low temps in that case, when there's no intake fan, but I realized that the top fan is pulling fresh air into the case! I'm used to top fans venting hot air out, because heat rises, but it looks like it's quite capable at pushing the hot air down and having the back fan exhaust it out. Bravo!

damn that CPU/motherboard combo is unbeatable! I didn't realize that used xeons were still viable for gaming PC's.

[brendan]

Love this man definitely wanna replicate this for my son !

[Rantny-mm]

A little effort can get you a great little PC that any kid can afford with Birthday Money !! Good work love this sort of content so sick of seeing Millionaire Youtubers making 5000 dollar computers with hardware all given to them !! Thumbs up !!

[dislexsicknik]

I’ve had a pretty bad week with some surgery not working watched this video this morning and decided I’d have a crack at making the same build I’ve ordered the mobo and cpu already got ram and psu gonna stick my 970 in it until I can find a cheap 580 and a case. This has given me something to do today whilst recovering

[ImWateringPSUs]

People generally underestimate how far you can stretch a low budget. Great build, I think pretty much everybody would be able to build a similar PC so it’s a great blueprint :)

[uatlagh]

Feels like you really outdid yourself this time. Great job! Will definitely remember the xeon bundle

[blindtechh]

I might just steal that build template and do those as restock builds on Jawa but with 2048 RX 580s

[cacadeperro]

I hope your channel keeps growing with all sincerity. You do clean work!

[MrSamadolfo]

Guys, to make it easier for you, some of the other channels have done extensive testing on Xeons that use DDR4 memory, and pretty much it kinda performs close to an i7-8700 or Ryzen 5 3600, so if you keep those CPUS in mind then pair the Xeon with a common video card that is recommended for 8700/3600, as for the case you can simply buy the Aqua 3 which comes with 3 standard 3pin argb fans and an argb hub already preinstalled on the back, its all prewried and plug and play, of course you have to pay more, it comes in black or white. And last if you can step up to a legit X99 Motherboard that would be best but they usually arent cheap unless the seller is somebody thats not into computers and just wants to find the board a new home. Happy Halloween Everyone. 🎃👻

I went to Aliexpress and also made a very inexpensive gaming computer. I used an E5 2560 V2 chip and a Zusu X79 board and put 32 gigs of ddr3 memory. I got an $8 dollar cooler that works fine. I put a rx 6500 xt gpu on it and used a Masterbox Q300L case. I an about 230 dollars into the whole thing. I put a 1 gig SSD and a new apevia psu. It runs great and I have played on steam in several MMO's and had a great time. It's cheap and runs win11 with no problems. I put Linux on it and that is my operating system right now. Other than the video card, the whole thing came in at $188 .

a close performance to a 10th gen i5 for 5$, let alone better performance in cpu dependant work like rendering and stuff. this cpu is a great deal to say the least and it's totally worth the price. Although the motherboard is a little questionnable, it looks like it's doing the job just fine. thanks for great video by the way! it was really enjoyable to watch :D
