Building "Potato" Gaming PC for less than $100

[@yourbluewaffle]

The motherboard combo was a steal of a price

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

And it's rare to find, this is out of the blue building I didn't expect that I will find something that cheap

Cleaning components is always satisfying to watch!

[@carson2646]

This was a great build, Andrew. It shows what can be done with little money and that really high-end parts are nice but are not a must. Most kids could come up with the money for a build like this and be able to game with their friends

[@Aeglos15]

These videos are so relaxing.

[@Blahshog]

That's a great build for the money, well done Andrew, a very entertaining video.

[@YuProducciones]

awesome video, cleaning part was relaxing... its weird to not have smooth music in the background but still, dope video... big screen at the end looks beautifull! awesome oportunity for your buddy

[@mrdorkomatic]

That's a pretty great build for the price! That motherboard/CPU/ram combo was a steal! Nice job Andrew!

[@grizzlyindustries7593]

Love builds like this. Thanks for another video. Always like your videos.

[@ClaudioBalbin]

Nice work! Suggestion for a next video: fix/make/clean a small form factor pc for gaming that can be used in the living room!

[@darianrenko372]

Excellent and great work as always!!

Thank youu bro :)

A Ryzen5-1600 coupled with an RX580 is a potato now? I'm getting old.

[@arch1107]

a r5 1600 is now 7 years old, same for the gpu, the r5 is first gen and perfornmance is not great per core, gpu is old and near end of support, so this is not waht you and me call potato, but starting to look like it

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

I feel like 1st gen Ryzen came out last moth :D but time flies superfast :/

[@alifhasan998]

Brother listen, you said earlier about CMOS battery placement. It was a great detail. And that's the point. We watch you and your videos for so many reasons along with this detail thing. You make such great videos and we love it. It was a good video too. Have a great day Bro. ❤

[@jozsefizsak]

That's really great. I did something similar a couple of years ago and like you said, it needs patience but sometimes there are very good deals if you look around. I don't play games so that makes it easier to get enough performance.

[@Francis_A.321]

08:00 - Is it safe the wash the cpu fan (or any fan) like that? Do you use some kind of lube on the fan motor after drying?

[@JezyYT]

Great video! Thanks Andrew

Always good to see old funtioning Computer Stuff not going to a landfill. Nice Video like always. But i am wondering why you put no music in you`re videos anymore. Problems with copyright?

[@fossilecia]

Great job like always! Andrew, do u use a pro camera or a smartphone to recording?

[@Kryostance]

that funny part that in two years your friend still can upgrade for an r9 5800x3d more ram and like an RTX 4060 ti for still the cheap. Great build brother.

Hi Andrew, i was womdering what tools do you recommend for cleaning and maintaining a personal pc, ty

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Thank youu bro :)

[@EastAngliaUK]

i would like a pc like this my one is to big now I find I have to have it behind my big tv no where else for it to go.

[@davidhernandez6505]

I wonder, what does this 5:11 plastic sheet on the fan of the PSU do? I've noticed my unit also has one, but I don't know what's it for.

[@arch1107]

the one on the side prevents accidental discharges from the capacitors and thepower converters against the metal, at that point the voltage is still big and the amperage too, so the protection is to avoid accidents and hurt people

[@BigDrewski1000]

I can appreciate using what you got when it comes to that cooler, but then again those Wraith Stealth coolers can be had for so little anymore it's really a choise of do you wanna save money & do the extra work, or just say screw it & spend like $15. Lol.

[@crazyfurnaceguy1229]

For long term use, recommend buy a m.2 ssd heatsink!

[@arch1107]

that brandand model can work without it, i know because i have one, never reached under load on tests more than 60 celsius, normal usage like 42, been like this for like 4 or 5 years it is pcie 3 x2 if it was pcie 4, yes, heatsink

Yo, this isnt a "potato!" This is a great price to performance system!

[@TomMarloweRiddle]

Hey Andrew! I really love your videos. I have an old ipad (ios 9.3.6) and I want to upgrade it to full functionality. What can be done to achieve it?

[@renatocalasicasjr.8267]

Nice Video!! 👍👍👍 Can you build a sleeper PC on a budget?

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

I will try bro, finding something cheap is hard, but I will try

[@elgrantubo]

I have seen several of your videos and I am curious about the cleaning of the fans, don't the fans of the Pc get damaged when they are immersed in liquid to clean them? what happens with the lubricant that they come from the factory?

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

If you use Isopropyl alcohol ( 96% to 99% ) and distillated and de-ionized water than the cooling fans and the electronics are fine. The booth are not power conductive, especially de-ionized water because de-ionized water has no ions. Degreaser is conductive and can wash out the lube, but wont cause any harm at short use. And yes, many times after washing cooling fans, the fans must be lubricated again. Usually I'm using silicone oil, but silicone oil in tube not silicone oil in spray cans or similar or in some cases 5-40 or 10-40 synthetic motor oil.

[@eleven99]

I'm not sure if i'd consider a first gen ryzen 5 to be "potato" tier since that CPU still holds its own as a used budget offering

[@poohhappy4548]

question what cleaning compound that you use to clean the gold contact patch?

[@arch1107]

ideally never touch those contacts, it looks like he is using ipa isoprophyl alcohol 99%, it helps remuve dirt and grease and evaporates superfast avoid touching those contacs always

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

96% to 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and cotton buds

[@manuelalejandro1510]

Veo en tus montajes , que no pones AIO , prefieres refrigeración por aire , gracias por el vídeo.

[@prathameshbhujbal7272]

Hey Andrew did you buy these games or crack them ?

[@juristuCDPC]

Is it OK to submerge the electrical parts of the cooler in water?

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Yes but in de-ionized and distillated water, even you can wash the whole motherboard. De-ionized water contain no ions and is not power conductive. You can wash many electronics but NOT sensors, displays, camera lenses and everything similar that is very sensitive

[@juristuCDPC]

@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew I use "demineralized water" for cleaning watch bracelets in an ultrasonic cleaner. I wonder if it's the same thing as de-ionized water.

[@adnantoromanovic491v4]

Great video. I couldn't hear quite well, you said a degreaser, distilled water, and somekind of water. And degreaser is it some specific kind or regular?

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Just standard degreaser for cleaning kitchen :D and distillated and de-ionized water. De-ionized water is water that contain no ions and is not power conductive

1. Die Chance das jemand dir diese Teile zu dem Zeitpunkt für den Preis verkauft, geht gegen 0% Wahrscheinlichkeit. 2. Teile die man noch "rum liegen" oder "übrig" hat, von einem anderen Projekt, haben auch mal Geld gekostet und müssen beim Bau mit "eingepreist" werden. 3. Nirgendwo ist zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ein solcher PC ein "Potato". - Ich mag viele deiner Videos, aber das gefällt mir gar nicht. Jemand der das nachbauen möchte, wird selbst mit Gott gleicher Geduld nicht zu diesem Ergebnis für diesen Preis kommen. - Mit viel Glück kostet einen das aktuell zwischen 150 und 200 Euro. Selbst bei Geschäftsauflösungen kriegst du nicht solche Preise. (nicht mal wenn die Sachen "vom LkW" verkauft werden.)
