[@TheDiner50]

5600G and 5700G are awesome. But as a upgrade path it is just sad. Outside of the fact that 5600G might be even cheaper then 5600(nonx) it just aint right to put a dedicated GPU on a APU. Just no. Anyways AM5 might give us APU's that make low end GPU's pointless at last. But to buy a 5600G to then add a 7600xt or even 6700xt sounds like such a waste. Even the new AM5 CPU's makes more sense since the iGPU in them are not really for gaming yet gives the benefits of a backup graphics for troubleshooting. 5600G is not worth it if one can get a 5700x instead really.

So a few things: 1) This case rocks for the price. Only thing that comes close is the Montech X1, but I prefer this one because of how the glass is mounted. $30 more gets you a Montech X3 though, and even with 6 - yes, 6 - Molex fans that use the 5 volt pin for the RGB lighting, it’s better than either case because of the included 140 and 120 fans. 2) There are people who put the AMD Wraith logo on the left. There are people who put the AMD Wraith logo on the right. And then there are the the people that just take the shroud off because logos are annoying. 3) I’ve used that PSU in several budget builds over the last decade and they’ve all been solid. The 700 watt model is the bare minimum I’d use if I were building something today since it’s a “rule of 2/3rds” PSU - only 2/3rd the wattage is available on 12 volts.

I really apreciate the attention to the audio in your videos. thank you for that

[@liamwhite7207]

Cable management on point

[@MystikNomad]

Love the video! I almost spit out my lunch laughing hard at work when I heard your Canadian currency pronunciation. This pc from Amazon parts performs way better than most Amazon affordable “pre-builds”.

[@andreasdill4329]

At least in tech it is usual to make inscriptions readable from below or from the right side. So you mounted the cooler the wrong way. And für the Molex powered fan: There was also a 3-Pin plug. I usually cut the extension wires to the Molex 4-Pin right at close as possible at the 3-Pin. So you get a normal 3-Pin Fan to connect to a board header.

Instant IO shield appearance upgrade: a quick blast of matte black spray paint on the outer side.

[@joeconti2396]

This video gave me Canadian Dankpods vibes. Well done Dawid.

[@xenogenisy7259]

The Igpu with battlefield 5 is the same performance I was getting with a i5 2400 and 1050ti back when battlefield 5 released. Crazy how far we have come in just a few years.

[@DaboInk84]

"Yes, its the end. BYE" (irritated Dawid voice). This is why I keep coming back for more.

[@GamingWithLance]

I legitimately love your contents.

[@experio1739]

Another thing about these iGPU's is that they have shared memory for VRAM, allowing the dedicated RAM to be used. However, there are ways in the BIOS, and other ways (check other YT videos) on how you can give it dedicated VRAM and increase it. I've got a Ryzen 7 5700u with a Vega 8 iGPU with 3GB VRAM.

[@D4rkMatter1975]

Awesome video enjoyed it immensely. Every time you said Canadian Drachmae made me die with laughter I have always enjoyed you sense of humour Dawid 😄😅

[@mikebarrett9290]

Thanks for the video. I was just thinking it would be nice to have another Dawid build like the 3200g system that first brought me to your channel.

[@Jerem0y]

Its a really nice time for computer parts in general. Makes me want to build something cheap for someone

[@Joreel]

I remember the pullout PCI-E tabs. I lost so much blood and skin from my knuckles building PC back then. I was so happy when they started using removable covers. I still have covers and the screws from PCs I built 15-20 years ago.

[@trueavles]

Awesome video I love watching your video it’s nearly my birthday and in getting my first grand new pc and not already used one and you have gave me good knowledge ❤

[@AnnaDoes]

HOW did it turn out so good-looking?? With Ketchup and mustard even!

[@danytoob]

OMG... Holy Moley! You've got my screwdriver 😲😲. One of my fav ratchets. Awesome. Oh, nice build for the super low $! Thx for your hard work. ... DT

[@Blablabla3945]

This is the most sensible build i have seen in a while. A be quiet pure rock slim 2, 2 to 3 new casefans from arctic and a 512gig ssd and you are set. A 700 USD build that can play anything and actually looks pretty nice.

[@extendoduck]

Am I the only one who finds breaking off those pci slot covers slightly satisfying?

[@emanggitulah4319]

That a surpringly good gaming experience. A real good bang for the drachmee

[@mxss115]

I remember my first build was around $350, but I was able to find a GPU (a $100 HD7770) to squeeze into my budget. It helped that at the time Microcenter had a deal for an FX-4100 cpu and a (very cheap) mobo for $100. I then overclocked the FX to 4.5 ghz on that cheap board and stock cooler, somehow.

[@pranavanand9818]

you should buy a lottery ticket ngl

[@hyphyhusky]

This PC is very close to the first PC I built in 2020, an am4 320, a 2600 r5, the same ram kit, R9 390x, and an 800-watt refurb EVGA power supply. I used it in that configuration until I upgraded the GPU to a 2080ti. Worked great for a starter VR PC. I dare you to build a "VR" PC and test VR components using the base of what will even run VR with the on-the-box "VR ready logos." It's misleading marketing, and I bet you'd have a funny video using that format.

[@rickh8380]

Very nice budget build Dawid. That would make for a good entry level PC with some room for expansion. Cheers

[@Nerdificationing]

Suggestion Dawid - do an incremental improvements series. e.g. take a SUPER low spec PC and gradually boost ONE category per episode. E.g. Graphics from APU to 1070 to 2060 to 3050 to 4090, CPU from i3, i5, i7 to Ryzen 9/i9, SSD, Mobo, etc Some cases I assume it will have little to no impact, see where diminishing returns kicks in

[@JoshuaG]

2:16 LMAO, i just keep cracking up everytime he says the motherboard model "VDH" 🤣

[@Gigabarto]

i love molex conectors

[@cpljimmyneutron]

I have often used those ThermalTake White power supplies in many a low cost build, they may be lacking in efficiency, but I have never had one fail.

[@BenShapirosLowerLip]

I've been rocking a Thermaltake Smart 750 watt 80+ for about 3 years now with no issues, as for the mustard and ketchup cables I just went on Amazon and bought black extensions for the ones I actually needed and hid the rest.

[@thesilentgametestr]

They have improved on the graphics side of their newer APU chips. I have a non gaming laptop that has a Ryzen 7 4700u and while the config involves a soldered 8gb ram stick, it plays a lot of games quite well. Mix settings obviously for some games, but was really impressed with it. I do have a gaming laptop now, but I still use the Ryzen laptop.
