Can We Beat The $369 Amazon Gaming PC?!

10/10, Crazy how much i spent on my setup and u can do this with a budget

[@williammathies2998]

Thanks!

[@nostrum6410]

could build something similar new with a 12100f for barely 400$, while eliminating those bottlenecks and getting like 30% more performance in most cases. if you went a used video card like a 5700xt or 1080 you could get well over 50% higher framerate, as long as your PSU is good enough

[@devisals]

Yep exactly this, and you might even be able to get a good deal for 12400f with sales and stuff.

[@alecgordon272]

I just bought a pc from them, I got it for my little nephew, he plays Minecraft and I wanted to make sure he can experience it for a cheap cost, these guys really did it. I love the fact they support their fans and community. The pc runs great and he hits around 80fps. It was 225$! Such a bargain dude. These guys rock and with the truth they give and the reliance, I hope everyone gets a pc through them! They even will build it for you. Freaking dope.

[@Big_boom90]

Sounds like bs to me 😅

[@gorjaharchangel2267]

I found a great deal on a "barebones" Dell Inspiron 3881 which had the case, motherboard, a 360W PSU and the cooler. I added 16gb of RAM, a 512GB m.2 SSD and a Gigabyte GTX 1660S (I had to buy a 6pin to 8pin adapter but it's much safer compared to the sata to 6/8pin adapter) It cost me a total of 260€ and it's quite small so I am really pleased with its performance overall.

[@Skillmaticgaming]

You guys should look into the xps and inspirion lineups, also good options to out gpus in

[@MMotaTime]

When are y'all gonna build another arcade cabinet? I'd love to see another one!

[@Luke-sg2ju]

I know why thew i7 7700 was heating up... It is because that dell cpu heatsink was meant to be paired up with a lower wattage cpu. I had a dell with a cpu T version which was 35 watts and it had the same heatsink as the one that is in your pc (thin). I also upgraded mine awhile ago to the I7 7700 and I had to get the thicker heatsink that dell makes to handle the i7. It is the exact heatsink but much thicker.

[@patlotpotlot6154]

How’s the temp?

[@richardmcgowan1651]

I mean all it would take is some case fans even if you had to use cable ties to hold them in. You can even buy small cards that go into the small PCI lines to get power from the board.

[@TheGameBench]

I just tested one in a SFF HP Z240 with the same cooler and it cools the 7700 just fine. Their issue was 100% a paste issue, as they stated in the video. If you have a 7700 that is having cooling issues, it probably needs to be delidded and have the paste between the die and IHS replaced.

[@Fw.tyl3rr]

Hey!, i am a huge fan of the toasty bros, you two make some of the best videos of all time, I've watched all of your videos at least 2 hours after they come out, I'm saving up to buy one of your pc's because I want to go pro in Fortnite it's just my all in one pc is crappy. But I just wanted to say I love y'all and y'all's vids, keep up the good work!

[@BUGBYTE_]

Hey guy... You missed edit at around 1:30 you state what GPU, CPU, and 16gb ram then repeat GPU, CPU, and 32gb ram. It was just a retake that should had been cut.

[@jeremyjamero199]

I seriously thought it was a glitch in the matrix lol.

[@richardmcgowan1651]

I dont know if they even have the pins for extra fans but there are ways around it. You would only need a couple of fans for it. Even if you need to use another power source for them.

[@Sp3cialk304]

You could get a hp z440 with a e5-1650 v3/v4 and put a ssd and a gtx 1070 or 1080 something similar in it for $300 or less. With 32gb of ram and they come with a 700w PSU that has pcie power connectors.

[@b0ne91]

Probably worth getting the E5 2666 v4 instead. At least the 1650 v3 isn't worth it unless you can overclock it properly imo. And with an OEM system, you're very limited in that regard

[@Sp3cialk304]

@@b0ne91 they would perform about the same. Both could handle up to a 5700xt or so. The 2666 has more cores and threads. But the 1650 has high core clock speed. When using a 1070 they would perform pretty much exactly the same. Would be the same case if you where using like a R7 1700, i3-12100, R5 3600. I've done a lot of research on old xeons. And Myconst has a ton of videos comparing many of them using a Rx 5700 xt.

[@Sp3cialk304]

@@b0ne91 also the v4 can't use turbo boost unlock. The v3s can. So they don't have core clock limited when using multiple cores.

[@b0ne91]

@@Sp3cialk304 Turbo unlock is good, but not when you're limited to OEM systems.

[@b0ne91]

@@Sp3cialk304 Anyway, E5 2666 v4 has massive cache compared to the 1650 v4. It's just not worth going with the 6 cores for 3-400Mhz or so when you're losing out on massive cache. OEM system also means you can't even tune RAM timings except maybe using Taiphoon to write SPD for primaries. Your suggestion is good, but the CPUs you suggested aren't the best if you're going with a used X99 workstation. I'm friends with Miyconst and I'm sure he'd agree. He's been trying to steer people away even from Chinese X99 for a while. But if you can find ultra budget workstations, get the 2666 v4 imo.

[@milescarter7803]

You can get whole Skylake LGA 2066 systems (Like Dell T5820 or Lenovo P520) for about $150-250 with a W-2135 or W-2145 (6-core,8-core) processor and 32GB of RAM. Add a $40 1TB NVMe and $100 RX5700XT and you are actually sitting pretty good. The power supply in a workstation class is going to start at 400-500, many are 600-900. Also you get 2 full x16 slots electrically and 2 NVMe x4 and a spare x8 slot all from the processor. Now that Alder Lake based Xeons are dropping soon maybe we'll see some deals on Sapphire Rapids? 7700 is a little wack, could hop up to an i5 9500 system with 16GB of Ram and potentially have a better experience. Kllisre ram is $22 for 2x16GB, so don't be afraid of the barebones elitedesk/prodesk etc

[@IQnukuJ]

Those dual SATA to PCI-Express adapter Y-cables are meant to be connected to two different SATA power rails of the power supply. Just sayin'... :-)

[@DiyintheGhetto]

On the HP black and gray RGb led computer you do have a NVME slot there. Could get rid of both drives and get a nvme drive.

[@xfrianimations1354]

since these two are pretty much the exact same price and the same thing, I would rather go with a 4th gen optiplex for $80, buy a 430 watt power supply for $30, buy a new $60 gaming case, a $20 adapter for said case, an RX 580 for $90, and a new set of 16gb ddr3 RAM for about $35. In total it would cost about $346 after tax. The processor would be worse, but because the case would look cooler I'd call it worth it.
