A $1.5K AUD Gaming PC Build Guide - February 2023 Edition

Once upon a time there was a person called (Y/N). (Y/N) really wanted a SICK 1080p gaming PC, but they weren't sure where to start on creating a part list. But then, the great crew at TTANZ, came along with their 2023 Gaming PC Build Guide and saved the day! (Y/N) now can have a sweet rig, and for the low price of under $1.5K AUD! And with that, (Y/N) and their sweet PC lived happily ever after! The End!

Amazing build, good to see the benchmarks

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

Cheers Ash!

[@stevearny686]

Thanks all ..nice video and info

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

Thanks for watching Steve!

[@TSF71]

The Ram sticks interlocked into each other just makes me stress so much lol ❤ 0:13

[@fairycat]

Nice build. Thanks

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

You're welcome thanks for watching!

Going forward I might advise another Benchmark being Baldur's Gate 3. (Specifically in the Lower City area towards the end of a full playthrough as that's the most taxing area on most computers.)

my suggestion the western digital m.2 500gb is roughly $53 or so dollars on umart, you could spend the extra 15-20 dollars and get a 1tb silicon power m.2 nvme gen4 or 3x4 for around $74, my other suggestion while the cpu and gpu fans are good to maintain good airflow mainly the tower acting as a direct intake from the front intake fans the letting the cooler fins passivly expell i would move one of the front fans (bottom one) to the back as a extra rear exhaust to keep that nice consistent postive air preassure, 3rd suggestion as of the 1st of march 2023 you can buy a 3060 pny xlr model for $450 so about 50-60$ more than the 3050 and push those extra frames, and to keep under 1.5k you could either go for the base 12400 instead of the F or continue to stick with the 500gb ssd and upgrade later down the line or vise versa, but overall its builders choice and I think Thermal take did a fantastic job at the budget build and staying under 1.5k love the work, if you guys liked my feeback tho you should definetly hit me for the next budget build haha

[@explicit_fahd]

If you every see this I might be using this for my first ever build I'll tell you how it turns out in about half a year lol if I remeber

[@SirGarf]

Is there a video for how to connect to monitor?

[@kermitlefrog3346]

The 3050 is a great budget gpu but for 1500 AUD it’s not a great choice I would have gone for a 6700xt from AMD as it performs way better for under 600 dollars.

[@sephrus7784]

It's sad that this is all the purchasing power of 1500 aud is.

[@Prezmoney1231]

Hi do u think this pc could get more fps if I optimised it

[@gymweeb9229]

Hey hey TT crew, I am reaching out to you guys again since you all helped me out so good last time. Since recently I have been having this issue where my controllers aren't seen in the TT software. I have two controllers, linked one after the other and it worked fine forever. But since recently they dissapeared in the software. I disconnected them completely and reinstalled them, no change. Did software reinstalls, both the v2 and v1 software. Now the first controller seems to be back but not the second one? Any idea what I can still try? I even tried using another controller as the second one since I have three but no luck still. Hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards

[@devildemon7961]

Where do you guys buy your parts for pc? suggest me where to buy for reasonable price.

[@jotta8010]

Finally a pc build thats actually in AUD 😁😁😁😁😍😍. getting the RX 6600 tho, better thanm 3050 and cheaper. R5600

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

We try to make a couple a year to help out our fellow Aussies! Thanks for watching Jotta! :)

[@filipsamac]

Does this case have a fan HUB?

[@ThermaltakeAustralia]

No, the fans plug directly into your motherboard to be controlled via motherboard software :)

[@YondrBreach]

where are you getting parts so cheap 😭😭😭

[@darkglobe406]

rtx 3050 does not perform "similar" to rtx 2060 super - 2060s is 25% faster on average in 1080p resolution , rtx 3050 and radeon 6500 xt (even slower than 3050) have terrible price/performance ratio and are not worth buying . the best value for money for 1080p gaming is rx 6600 , or a second hand rtx 2060 super / 2070 . as for the processor it depend what games are you playing - for example for cs:go ryzen 5600/5600x is much faster than 12400f , but it is true on average they are pretty close and 12400f has a better upgrade path .

[@Response1980]

Will this set up run Starfield 💪@60fps

[@tacolatte1498]

3050! Nope you’ll have to make a ton of sacrifices to visual quality to make that happen.

[@MrCina89]

1080p lol

[@gotem370]

3050? barf

[@tacolatte1498]

When I saw what gpu it hurt my soul. The prices on gpus are disgusting. Actually rant incoming. Why are there so many damn models of nvidia cards. Why does the 4070 have like 4 other models like holy crap maybe if you didn’t mess up the line up in the first place you wouldn’t have these 4070 ti super and 4070 super. There’s the 4070 ti too. It’s crazy. The 3060 also gets that crap line up too. It’s too many options for performance that isn’t worth it. I bought the 4070 and since then like 100 models for that model have released and when I go to the website to download the driver, it asks for the card you own and that list for the 40 series of cards is long. I’m talking longgggg. Bro…
