How To Build The Best $500 Budget "Gaming PC" In 2023 (step-by-step)

[@TheVideoNerd]

For those looking for a monitor: I will make a video with a setup around this monitor but until then: I would choose a 1080p 144hz or 1080p 240hz monitor. Games like valorant, csgo,.. will run at high frame rates so if that is what you play, you could go for 240hz.

[@Oliq_]

Even tho I have watched a lot of videos and think I can build a pc myself, I’m still scared to build one bc it’s a lot of money and I don’t want to waste this, so is there any way to buy this pc or something similar pre-build or another good pre-build for 500-700 euros (live in The Netherlands just like you btw)

[@devanshrangan]

@@Oliq_ I also built a similar pc and I was also quite scared, but I think you should build it yourself and save some bucks (also gain some bulding experience :p)

[@Jack_Napier23]

I was looking for the specs you used. I'm looking to build a similar set up.

the 13th gen i3 is cheaper, it's $60 something

[@SpoonHurler]

@@Zeroneii3 if you are talking about the best buy deal, it's never in stock, Newegg and Amazon have never had it that low. Maybe Microcenter but I, like most people, don't live near one. If you can get it for 60-65 bucks it's also an amazing value though.

As a console player who knows nothing about pc’s could this be a setup that can be upgradable with better parts when financially able to? If so what would be the recommended upgrade for a person like me who does content creation and playing games like Call of Duty?

[@Riptide2k]

Yes it could certainly be upgraded with better parts however if u were to build a pc similar to this buy 2x 8gb sticks of ddr4 ram for $30 or less and you should get a better power supply so you can upgrade the graphics card In the future to like a rx 6700 xt

[@bizbarley74]

I was going to ask, does that case include any intake fans? Because this is my beef with 99% of the build videos on KZbin. As someone that does this for a living, and yet still really enjoys watching younger builders, the lack of case fans makes me emotional. The case has one of the greatest impacts on the overall longevity of your system. I agree the Linus used a horrible case, but afterwards he showed decent thermal performance. So unless you plan on springing for liquid cooling solutions, which is not very realistic in a $500 build, you're going to end up needing to buy fans, which can add significant cost. And at a $50 price point, on Amazon right, buy several cases that include x4 fans preinstalled, ahhhhh, it just really grinds my gears. I'm not a huge fan of Linus's build guides. But you gotta remind new builders to completely throw away aesthetics and put everything into performance. Cases are so taken for granted. But it's the skin and bones. Know what I'm sayin? Positive pressure baby, positive pressure. - And yes you do. Respect. But for real, screw aesthetics for life. All performance all the time. Cheers brother.

[@PrakharGamer_official]

is it good for streaming as well? btw love your channel!

[@SpoonHurler]

I would target a 6c12t processor with a good encoder (11400 or 12400 non F) for streamer so that your CPU can handle encoding and your game can use all the GPU. This build can do it but it will be a lot of load on the GPU so you will to lower settings on whatever game you are playing most of the time. EDIT: I think a 12100 non F could be fine too if you aren't playing games using a lot of cores.

[@GUZXN]

The RX 6600 has built in encoder so it can encode video without suffering to much FPS, and with tweaks in OBS it will run smooth

[@SleekNTears]

This is more than enough for me, if it runs games over 50 fps, it’s the best ( frfr)

[@itsmeyoussef]

What an explanation 👏🏻👏🏻

[@onigames7309]

Cool. But I would probably use Windows 10 since 11is giving me issues with the Microsoft Store.

[@NoodlesTBograt]

Remember if you use that card you will probably need a better power supply

[@Pajzsika-bpl3x]

Just watch the clock to see how much cuts he made in the video is kinda interesting

[@Housestationlive]

can't believe the case doesn't come with 2 fans. it's maybe not that necessary.

[@davidandrade7146]

Im thinking on building this, can I improve them later??

[@The_Dysthymic]

I’ve added it to my Amazon thanks so much, also what would you recommend for a monitor?, not part of the 500

[@idrkginaf4204]

If you're in a pinch and need a PC this is wonderful, but nothing beats saving up some extra money to go all the way, and that can happen overtime, you don't need to spend 2k all at once

[@Michael12689]

I’m debating to spend 667 dollars or spend $500 something on this build

[@Shrimp-lm3il]

Did you record the benchmarking on the computer or did you use a capture card?

[@Vonyweavey]

I actually need to move all my stuff from my case to another so this was really really handy.

You can absolutely have dual channel ram for that budget at this time, 8x2 3600mhz cl18 isn’t hard to find for less than 40 bucks these days.

[@coffeeyummm]

Yes you can but at what cost? Storage? Psu? That extra $10-$15 goes a long way if you are strapped for cash. With such a tight budget, you will have to sacrifice on some parts. Unless you're willing to take a risk on buying used parts which may or may not work and possibly throwing away money down the drain. Plus, he was using a b610 chipset. Yes b610 chipset supports xmp but it only goes up to 3200. If you were to get a 3600 kit on a b610 mobo, that's not worth the money
