Ultra Budget Gaming PC Challenge - Episode 7

The budgets have been cut severely! We are hitting rock bottom at just $200 and less for an actual gaming PC challenge! We’re going to have to get pretty resourceful in order to build working gaming PC’s but we will prove it’s possible to reach our goals!

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
You're the only tech channel that includes shipping charges on your final cost.

All other major channels just handwave that away, which is unrealistic for a true budget and sets bad expectations/precedent.

Thank you for keeping it real with all costs involved.

I love these guys they aren't like other creators building $10k systems for fun. They make content that is possible to replicate and also learn from. Much love guys

[YounusRizwan]

This is what is called content I love the budget PC challenge, this needs more attention I love the fact the we can finally see something which we all can afford 😁😁

[RobertFixit]

I would like to see them hit the streets and buy in person. The deals are much better.

That HP Z440 is still the budget build king... Even just a $10 upgrade to the CPU would have dominated this challenge.
Saving a few bucks on shipping from a different seller would have made up the difference.
An AE branded RX580 2048SP should have also been considered.


Those Z440 are the platform of choice for any sub $300 budget.
A faster Broadwell v4 CPU w/ 12+ cores, with Quad-Channel RAM, and an RX 5700XT or something similar...
A simple build like that still holds up in modern gaming, and even slaps down current consoles.

Micro center is just sponsoring every PC youtuber at this point😂😂

i want to thank you for following up on these pcs for real world usage versus gaming. i'd love to see a build with a 2680 v4, and it's use for video editing and rendering and an appropriate video card. thanks for the budget setups as always.

[echeese]

That 440 actually came with the ram coolers, that's rad

Honestly i found a laptop with a 3060 and an i7 12700H at 866€ which at first might not seem like a good deal but i am in italy and usually something like that costs like 1050€ and btw its a great piece of tech

Idk how we don’t have a micro center in TN yet!

[rossmclaughlin]

Think a 200 full setup pc keyboard mouse and monitor scrapyard wars style would be awesome 👍

[koreandude]

damn, great job to Matt, killed it with his underbudget build, whens the next live stream fellas?

[jmcls]

Wow! Another PC Cheap Build challenges again guys! More to come!

[iNubpwnr]

You should include some form of punishment for a losing party, nothing too harsh, but something like 20 pushups, plank for 2 minutes, 30 squats or buy McAllister dinner etc. It would make this challenges more thrilling to watch and conclusion much more entertaining.

I bought an 8th gen Lenovo for 45 bucks and put a T600 inside I got at a yard sale for 50 bucks. 32 gigs ram already inside, 1tb m.2 and it plays Helldiver's solid 38 FPS for under a hundo.

[FranciscoJimenez-bbfk]

I live in norwalk ca. Not too far from a micro center. I would never have known micro center existed if not for youtubers. I have yet to see a commercial on TV about micro center😆

[RenatoG]

I’m just glad Jackson read the rules today. Great video guys

Ali has sata SSD's starting at $7. Just picked up a 160GB and a Wifi/Bluetooth PCIE card for an SFF Opti for just over $12.
Both are already in the machine and are legit
