Genuinely impressed by what you're able to do at this budget.

As a film student concentrating in cinematography, every time a new optimum video comes out I'm always excited to see the beautiful shots that you come up with. It really makes the video as satisfying to watch as it is to actually listen to. As always, wonderful work!

Dude your production value is insane. Keep up the great work.

Nice to see you building an affordable pc again. I recently watched your older pc build videos on Lian Li Dan A4-H20 and CM NR200P Max and really liked those older style videos as you go through the details. This video is similar but with more efficient editing which is definitely appreciated!

[RanenPo]

Making the video exactly 9:59 is such a power move honestly

5:23 I got a 5-set of those Arctic P12s following optimum's recommendation years ago and they're amazing. Got 2 intake, 2 exhaust, and 1 on my cpu cooler. Absolutely whisper quiet for the price.

meh, ryzen 5600X is about 150€ rn, best value by far. With the savings you get a new 6700XT and can game at 1440p and even ultrawide 1440p comfy.

Crucial P2 is so bad, hell the P3 is bad, they drop to sub 400MBPS read speeds the moment the drives are half full because they don't even have a DRAM cache. Even the P4 doesn't have a DRAM cache!!

I would go with Thermalright PS120SE CPU cooler. Costs about 40(22 if you can get it from Taobao) and performs at Noctua NH-D15 level all the while fitting in the NR200. The Hyper 212 is basically the bottom line for cpu cooler performance for cooler benchmarks.

Optimum literally never fails to amaze me with his builds

I built a system like this myself recently, but I did a dual rad custom loop in the NR200! Inspired by your triple rad build, but not quite as crazy, used the Barrow pump/block/res combo. Very happy with it!

[Luv_Ruka]

This is crazy, I’m looking to build a new itx pc right now that’s maximizing price to performance and was just about to order parts and then you drop this video. Thank you Optimum.

Silicon Power Gaming 2x16GB 3200 DDR4 goes for $50-$60 these days. No thrills or RGB, simple kit. TeamGroup MP34 1TB is slightly cheaper but better drive than a Crucial P2 as far as budget options go. I have the white NR200 and loved using it, but I switched over to a SSUPD Meshroom S. Nice video, and glad you're showing people you can get a bang for buck PC.

Just kinda shows how much nvidia screwed up this gen seeing as pretty much every mid range build guide include previous gen parts

[DengKevin]

If someone wants to replicate this build, then I would advise to change some of the parts because there are parts that are a better choice for the same or cheaper price.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black -> Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE
RAM: GSkill Trident Z Neo 16GB 3600 CL18 -> Corsair LPX 16GB 3600 CL18
SSD: Crucial P2 1TB -> Intel 670P 1TB

The Thermalright Phantom Spirit is simply an amazing air cooler for the price that has similar performance to the legendary Noctua NH-D15. The Hyper 212 Black (2023) doesn't come close.

The RAM changed to low profile because cheaper, fits better, and same specs. SSD changed because same capacity, DRAM cache, and cheaper.

there's no way i can get 12600k for 150$.. here its still cost 280$

[advikshan]

This was amazing to watch. Looking forward to more budget builds in the future! 👍
