[@Lurch-Bot]

Everything they film is a build that they sell. What they are really doing is just a reality TV show about their used component PC build gig. It is also advertising - adutainment. Entertainment + advertising + education = adutainment. I personally think it just equals one big conflict of interest.

It just what is in one’s budget. I have an A520 because it was the cheapest one I could find that was brand new and wasn’t an AliExpress original. And unless someone is a hardcore professional gamer, Gen3 should do fine. But it is also a great service to see what a person could do with a little extra money in their budget!😊

[@larryrodriguez1977]

I love the look of those cases and recently did a pink build in one. My main gripe is the non-PWM fans. the fans in my case were super loud and I eventually swapped them out because the build was for my son's girlfriend. I had a $750 budget for that build and it turned out awesome. Great job as always guys. keep up the great work.

Yea that’s not cool

Yep a RX 5700 XT for around the same price used would completely destroy this card. Also why would you buy a dual slot motherboard on ddr4? I get this is a budget build but cmon give some better upgradability.

[@josephdias5859]

5500xt 8gb used would be better even or a 5600xt or a 5700xt used especially for the lack of gen 4 support that gen 3 bottlecked to halve speed on a 3.0 slot only running in 4.0 2x speeds is all bad

For my build I chose B550 Board but similar to this and using 32 gb of 60$ ram. That is barebones but works at 3200 speed. And all in a micro atx case, with a 1650 super that i got for 100$ so its also a 550$ build idk if it is better or slightly worse than this because I also used a Ryzen 5 5600x with a B550 A/C motherboard

Wonderful video as always gents. I Would personally go for the Ryzen 5 5500/RX6600 build for the price. Much better performance for only $10, with a 1tb nvme instead of a 512gb. Also, wouldn't the pcie 3.0 motherboard further hurt the performance of the 6500xt?

[@jeremynorris_hostyl1]

On Newegg R5 5600 (~$135) + 6500XT (~$140) = ~$275. Alternately, still on Newegg, R5 5500 (~$100) + 6600 (~$195) = ~$195. That is the *easiest* $20 I would drop in a heartbeat to have a much better PC *now*.

Whats the thinking with the RX 6500 XT when according to TECHPOWERUP even a GTX 1650 Super is better and why not then spend the money on an 8gig GTX 1080, I suppose the RX has DX 12 Ultimate and 12_2 Feature but wouldn't the 4 gig hold it back over the other options at the same price and with the 1080 having more VRam?

[@evers6214]

They were pretty clear going for a “new” parts build. The 1650 is more expensive and not that much better. Id agree if it was me I would just drop in a used rx570/580 8gb for $60 as a placeholder until can afford something better but honestly my son has a 6500xt and it plays games fine for what it is.

[@InvictusManeo.]

@@evers6214 I suppose then the lesson is do not try and build a Budget Gaming PC with all new parts.
