That's a clean looking case. Great job on the build!

[@KushiKush]

I love your video and your channel. You found a problem with the temp of your gpu, and you fixed it professionally and efficiently. Good work my guy, keep this up and you will help so many people build their pc's.

[@gavizcool268]

You seem a lot more enthusiastic this time, love to see it ❤

[@joelferguson625]

Very well done video and the PC looks really good too. Over time that build has a lot of potential for upgrades. One of the new X3D CPU, some cable extensions, a newer GPU that matches the case better, if need be to accommodate power needs for a new GPU a better PSU. Honestly great job. PC gaming has always held a special place in my left ventricle. Have an awesome day.

[@Deathgrip113]

I really appreciate this vid in response to the previous one. Well done. And hey, at that price point, you’re not running any crazy parts that draw a ton of power so the PSU choice there is fine. 5700xt for that price is very achievable and sometimes better. Recently copped a red devil 5700xt for $120 including tax and shipping. Best bang for your buck budget card for sure.

Nice video bro really enjoyed it

[@aukraz]

thank u so much for this video cause i wasnt sure a $500 pc would be good enough for the games i wanna play, as i was considering buying the xbox series x which is the same price as this but i'd rather save to get a pc for the same price as its more useful and can run fortnite sims and roblox + more games i enjoy playing better than the console can, plus having a pc is much more useful for school and other things aside from gaming. ty!!

[@fahimchowdhury5900]

I like the new camera angles

[@silveighty]

Amazing video, but I'd recommend to do maintenance on the gpu after knowing that it works too make sure you get the most optimal results. Since you bought the gpu used, doing maintenance is a must. Not everyone takes care of their components like we pc flippers do. This way you'll save yourself some time to keeo making these banger videos.

[@ayoubbihi6219]

The pc is really great value for the performance! i also have a rx 6600 with a ryzen 5 5500 pc and it performs really good as well. i built it like a year ago for 680 euro and it still is really good. In your video u mentioned that the pc could only output 120 fps but that is because the ps5 uses much better ghrapics so my question is if you can do that too when benchmarking a pc or gpu. the ps5 presset in fortnite is like dx12 at high presset and effects at epic for volumetric clouds and maybe upscaler such as dlss or tsr at quality but other from that very nice pc and keep up the good work :)

Nope, they're Tier E or F. Last time i had a tt smart it had coil whine. I used aresgame psus and despite the tier F rating they look very nice and are super quiet. they're better than the tier C apevia prestige because i had 2 of them and they made some random noise or coil whine

[@forbidden76]

Great build dude. Been building PC's since 1997 Windows 95/NT Server with ISA boards and blue screens (reinstalls I should say) every time you switch your hardware. Oh, the good days. Consoles are killing it these days though and the main reason I switched to console back in 2010 is hackers. I used to mess around and load hacks up on PC PVP games (wall hacks, aimbot etc.) and I was shocked that I could do it so easily but not get caught. Turn cross-play off in consoles and I don't have to worry about hackers. Still have my PC for VR and RTS games etc. 8)

[@mr.arocenastech]

PCs do offer a lot more versatility than consoles do and with the right platform you can always upgrade parts to be relevant. But, I think for pure gaming, consoles provide a lot of value for their price if someone just wants to game. Your build is nice though as it performs similarly enough to a console, is priced like a console but offers so much more because it's a PC. Good work!

[@frogslayer4849]

yeah same price "console killer" videos are just not true, and getting stale as cheeto under the seat of 94 ford tempo. nice build and sweet pc for the price but console killer it is not...

Pc has consoles beat in pure gaming too considering it has 99.99% of every game ever made on it. You only get a console if you don't know better or only want to play call of duty/fifa.

Temps would probably be better with fans installed in the case for better airflow. You have zero fresh air intake.

hey elijah, i have a question. so i am starting out trying to flip pcs, and i was wondering about all of the places that you end up listing your pcs. i currently only have mine on marketplace but i would love to get some feedback👍👍

Right, hey sometimes you find crazy deals. Once in a blue moon. And those stories are fun too!!! But a console killer PC build needs to be repeatable in order to secure the victory of the PC-master-race.

[@judeyang4136]

how is the airflow considering you did not add any fans to the front?

[@ReVapour]

Its insane how he builds such good pcs, for cheap. Youve made me want to buy a pc. The pc you built destroys the ps5, since its not optimised just for gaming unlike the ps5. If you optimised it like the ps5, the whole world would probably build it. You make very high quality videos, keep it up.

[@danielhulan3058]

Those temps man, it's the case. There's no room under the gpu. Another case might solve that problem.

[@MythicManaMaster]

I built this exact pc after watching some videos of the same graphics card (rx5700xt) run my favorite games (bf2042, cod mw3) with great fps. However, after setting everything up and installing all the drivers, I couldn't get bf2042 or mw3 to run over 40fps. Disappointed, and it's my first pc build.

[@teama1305]

For anyone who wants to do this build and does not like this case go ahead and search the Montech air 100 ARGB it’s about 60$ and I have it moreover it comes with 4 built in fans and it’s really nice, there’s a black version and a white version of it to match your build

[@ElijahsLab]

That’s a great case as well here’s a link to one on Amazon for anyone interested amzn.to/4e8mUPT

[@amandagriffin6450]

Good psu Thermaltake is a good brand

[@retrynot12]

amd gpus can go up to 110 degrees on the hotspot. the 5700xt would be running at 1.2v stock. you can easily bump the voltage down to 1.1 without changing anything else, should help with temps

[@aeroflopper]

my new amd gpu runs around 57c its the coolest running gpu ive ever owned, xtx7800xt

Why did bro place the cooler wrong. if im mistaken please tell me but the Amd logo is supposed to be at the opposite side

[@dope8207]

I have the same configuration!

[@tuli0hwut78]

The overheating is a GPU problem, not a you problem. AMD says its normal for them to reach up to 100°C. You can modify the temperatures by apply thermal pads and paste onto it.

[@sourrlemons]

If you're building this, please spend the extra 10-20 bucks and get an MSI MAG A550BN or A650BN, trust me. You DO NOT want to cheap out on ur PSU.

[@brokensword2621]

i don't know why people always use 500$ price tag for consoles comparison. ps5 has digital Ver with 400$ price tag. this is a price that all of these people must use for comparison. their pc doesn't have blu ray so the 400$ Ver of the console is make sense.

[@EllieTheBerryx]

consoles are less faff and maintenance but i think this is better for most people

[@OG_Kye]

hey am i able to reach out to you on anything to talk about my PC, running into some display issues and I'm not sure what to do

[@stellerate]

To be honest, high fps doesn’t really matter that much in rpgs, but it definitely does in E-sports. I think the pc packs way more value.

[@Mike21Daisu]

Regarding to the GPU temps: - If it's a contact issue (if the heatsink isn't attached to the PCB well enough) the temps will rise from idle to high REALLY fast. It will also idle kinda high (higher than 35c). - It's not a cooler issue cause that is more than enough cooling for that GPU. This model isn't capable of going above 75c. - Bad thermal paste? or just a bad spread. I doubt it tho. If the GPU core to Hotspot delta is bigger than 12-15c, I'd start thinking that it's a contact/thermal paste issue. I don't think it's an airflow issue 'cause I've built multiple PCs with triple fan GPUs with no airflow at all. It takes hours upon hours for it to even go above 75c with similar coolers. The heatsink does 90% of the job, not the fans, so it should not be a problem in ur case. Personally, I'd think that it's a contact issue. The screws aren't tightened well enough, or the thermal paste is not good enough or there's not enough of it.

[@BREEZYM6015]

All good points.

[@juliusunreal]

bro doesnt know how airflow works lmao

[@gamertechlive1780]

@@juliusunreal agreed 1 biggest factor is case airflow.. the case is decent enough since it has mesh front even though there are restriction in the fan mounting bracket.. he repasted it i doubt its loosed if its loosed then any game you throw at it temps will stay mid 80s above and might even cause display issue. i also think the problem is airflow.. also if he forget to set the fan curve w/ MSI afterburner overwriting the default low RPM spin and fans turn off interval of the GPU i think that's the real issue here. EDIT** heatsink absorb heats but not efficient to dissipate the heat due to the fan continues switching between low RPM spin and turning off.

@@gamertechlive1780 🤝

[@mintymus]

@@gamertechlive1780 Bad airflow wouldn't cause it to heat up so fast.

[@samirtorres2180]

Very nice CPU, Please next time try warzone too!

[@glubrix]

Good job, but that PC must remain open, if you close it the 400w of consumption produce a lot of heat which is not dissipated

[@Bigman121]

Remember that fortnite on amd gpus runs better on dx 12 for some reason, mine does, I have a 6600xt and it runs better on dx 12 than performance mode and dx 11 milage may vary.

[@GoblinChris42069]

what is a good gpu for this build, I cant find any

[@CarkBurningMoo]

Let's be honest, consoles are getting hotter than 85°C and doing worse quality/fps in Cyberpunk. If the GPU is not throttling, it's obviously designed to run ok at those temps. I would maybe place that front fan halfway over the middle and bottom fan mounts so that more air goes under the fan. Nice work!
