I had a somewhat left over stock bin that I just threw together to sell off since I needed space, the specs on it were a Cpu: Ryzen 5 2600 Mobo: Asus prime B450M-A II Gpu: EVGA RTX 2070Super Ram: 16gb 3200mhz Psu: aresgame 500watt bronze Storage: 1Tb sata ssd I just bought a $60 dollar case off from Amazon and assembled it together, ended up selling it for $580 bucks locally and he's excited with the way it looked upon meeting up, most of the parts were new too most were just used for light testing but I'm not building anything as of now since I am just focusing more on school and work, ended up using the funds for a used upgraded m1 Macbook pro and I am glad I did so

[@customcrafted_pc]

That's a VERY solid rig you put together man! Glad you enjoyed the build and were able to make some profit off of it! Goodluck with the work and school as well! 😁

Microcenter needs a NorCal location

[@customcrafted_pc]

Agreed! Every state should have a Microcenter the same way we have Best Buy's all over the place. Hope they get over to you eventually!! 😁

[@KaosKaosKaos1]

Great video dude. I definitely like all the benchmarks. I don't know how many vids of nice pc builds on YT I've watched where there is no benchmarks at the end, truly annoying. You got my sub :)

[@customcrafted_pc]

Much appreciated man! Seriously means a lot!! And seriously, when I decided to start making these videos I noticed other creators or at least some of them didn't really include enough benchmarks and actual gameplay and just went with the graphs and what not so I'm glad you appreciate that part and I'll be sure to include it in all my builds and thanks for the sub as well!!! 😀

I 1000000% agree bro, what's the point of building an awesome rig and then not testing it, always blows mind 😂😂😂

Bro awesome build but you gotta change the battery in that fire alarm. Don't want to burn up man.

[@customcrafted_pc]

🤣🤣🤣 first person to catch that! Lol we’re not allowed to touch em in our condo and waiting for the maintenance dudes to come fix it sadly! Funny you heard that annoying ass beep though 👏🏻👏🏻

[@customcrafted_pc]

Thanks! Really appreciate it !!! 😁

[@johndanch6954]

You listened to my advice from the last vid😂 yay

[@customcrafted_pc]

I did! Thanks for the feedback! You actually gave me the idea for the build to see how they'd compare! You weren't wrong! 😀

[@thescoffe]

Nice build overall. there are though some changes i would have done. 1. I would have used the Montech Air 100 ARGB instead, it costs 65$ new on newegg and it comes with 4 nice looking and performing argb fans, 2. Ryzen 5 3600 instead of the 4500, it performs better in benchmarks and games due to having a very slight speed increase and alot more cache, and lastly 3. I would have gone with the rtx 2060 or any of the rx 5000 cards, the rtx 2060/5600 xt cost essentially the same +-5-10$ and perform alot better. Also like some others have mentioned, you really gotta change the battery in the fire alarm.

[@customcrafted_pc]

Seriously appreciate the positive criticism!! Hindsight.. unfortunately is always a little too late and had these same thoughts after the fact! I will actually be using that case for my next couple builds and 100% wish I had seen them earlier because the fans coming with the case is amazing. And I've never owned the 3600 so I definitely need to do a build with it so I can see what the hype is about. And yeah I've seen some 20 series cards on eBay for pretty cheap but just another part I can use in the future. And as for the alarm ... I have to wait for maintenance to come do it for the condo place I'm at because were not allowed to touch them, which is pretty dumb. Hopefully have that fixed by the next video lol. Again, seriously appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching through the video! Make sure to sub if you haven't to see the next build (going to be much better than the last two..) 😁🤫

• what should I upgrade next ? GPU: GTX 1650 Super • RAM: 16GB DDR4 RAM • CPU: 15 9400 • Asus motherboard • Storage: Fast 256GB M.2 NVMe + 1Tb Sata Hdo • PSU: 350W

[@customcrafted_pc]

Hey! Looks like you have a pretty decent system going already but with everything looking like its a few years old now there's a few things you could upgrade. A few people in the comments have recommended a 2060 or 5600XT over the 1650 Super, if your willing to upgrade you motherboard an awesome budget Intel upgrade would be the 12400F for only like $100 on Amazon and you MAY need to upgrade your PSU with any upgrade path you go with. Watch your TDP on any part you end up choosing! Hope this helped and thanks for watching! 😁

[@midwestfishing9153]

Um you won’t be able to upgrade any with that psu I don’t know where u got a 350 watt one but your going to be looking for a good 550 to 700 watt ball park psu. That is absolutely a must u could not upgrade to even a 1660 super with your current psu. Psu first and add in a new GPU depending on your budget and if you are willing to buy used Gtx 1660ti,1660 super rx5700 Xt or Rtx 2060 or 2060 super. It really just comes down to budget.

[@aleksazunjic9672]

Overspent on case and fans. Thus had to save on GPU . Realistically, you could find a case (slightly used or even new) for $30-40 , even including some fans. They are not super quality (tin can office junk) , but then you would be able to with 1660 Super or maybe even RX 6600 .

[@customcrafted_pc]

Thanks for watching and leaving some feedback its always much appreciated!! You are absolutely correct in that assessment and I'm learning as I go. This video was more of a comparison to my last build having the R3 4100 and 1650 (should go watch that one) and wanted to see how they differed in performance. My next build I have planned will have a better price to performance ratio so make sure you sub to watch it(if you want) thanks again! 😁

[@deadchannelfrom2018]

I disagree. Budget builds are all about optimization as well as balance. Yes, he could’ve got a 3 or 5 pack of black fans for like $8-$10 but the build needed some color. RGB SELLS and any case cheaper than that one wouldn’t be worth it. Also, sub $500 is console money anyways and a 1650 or 1660 is fine.

[@customcrafted_pc]

@@deadchannelfrom2018 Thank you so much for recognizing this aspect of trying to sell a budget PC! Much appreciated brotha 😎

[@aleksazunjic9672]

Wow, your other video has a ryzen 3 4100, now its a ryzen 5 4500 with a lower budget, noice

[@customcrafted_pc]

Yeah right! I said the same thing as I was adding everything up and thought it was crazy I spent less for more performance but think its because I found a pretty good deal on the GPU (shoutout the seller on eBay lol) thanks for watching though man! Appreciate ya ! 😎

[@levinerussellfernandez8904]

hey nice video! is your gtx 1650 super brand new or used i just upgraded mine i bought a new gtx 1650 for only 136 dollars is still a nice upgrade because i am stuck to my radeon vega 8 integrated since 2020 all i can say it was worth it for a budget upgrade i can play most of the games in 1080p low or medium settings i just want to ask if 136 dollars was a good price for gtx 1650 brand new nowadays

[@customcrafted_pc]

Hey man! Thanks for watching the video and love being able to help with any PC questions! This one was actually used with only 1 owner from eBay but can find on Amazon for over $200 which is a little over priced in my opinion. As for the 1650 you grabbed, that's definitely a steal because the 1650 I used in my last build I found for $159 and is now going for $165. You paying only $136 was for sure a good deal! Glad the upgrade is working for you and agree that its a solid option for 1080p gaming! Again thanks for watching and hit that sub button if you want so you don't miss any future builds! 😁

for 480 dollars you couldve get a better gpu for that and better processor

[@customcrafted_pc]

Oh yeah, there's a few different options that I could have gone with at this price point but this was a direct comparison build alongside my last build to see the difference in performance. I'll do another build in the future for this price point with some better components. Make sure to sub so you don't miss any of my builds! Thanks for watching btw! 😁

[@voidspirez]

i just finished a build like this but with a ryzen 5 3600 and a gtx 1650 instead, what should I sell for?

[@customcrafted_pc]

Solid options right there! Haven't used the 3600 myself but have heard good things! And as for selling it I'd look into similar builds and what they're selling them for but also have to think about WHERE you wanna sell it. Like maybe throw it on FB marketplace or get it up on Jawa.gg like I'm trying to do but keep in mind they take some fees so if you go that route go with a price where you can still make a profit but your not highballing it ya know? I just recently started trying to flip and there is definitely a learning curve to it!

@@josephlemieux5981 I believe PlayStation uses a proprietary style board for their consoles and you wouldn't be able to use it for a PC. Its possible I imagine to solder a bunch of things onto it and force to be compatible with PC components but that seems like way too much work! Also, it's fine!

would you recommend ryzen 5 3600 and 1660 ti as a budget?

@@patrickstar7119 Happy to help man! I am in the US so I'll try my best here lol. Looks like your working with the equivalent to $578 when converted so over here for the same price on Amazon you can grab a Ryzen 5 5500 instead of the 3600 and rather than the 1660 TI, you could go with an RX 6600 for like 20-30 dollars more then everything left over can get you some decent RAM and a good 600W PSU then just gotta worry about a decent B450 board and a case!

@@customcrafted_pc Thanks! this will help a lot. one question, i’ve seen loads of different brands of the graphics cards like asus etc, what’s the difference and why are some 2 fans and others 3?

[@customcrafted_pc]

@@patrickstar7119 Well glad to be able to help in any way I can! And each brand doesn't really change the actual performance of the card itself and often will just have higher clock speeds on their "OC" models but for the most part is just preference with designs and looks. As for the fans, 3 fans is generally better at cooling the card than 2 is but that's about it! Hope this cleared things up for ya bud! 😁

[@bot2k6]

It looks cool, but that's terrible price to performance

[@customcrafted_pc]

Yeah it could definitely use a better GPU with some more memory but I did intend for this build to be a direct comparison to my first build and just wanted to see the difference with the upgraded components!
