How cheap can a PC build be? like $100? maybe less then $100

[@gonzalogarcia312]

This is gonna sound stupid, but could you please do a video talking about Mini pc's if you're able to!? I'm interested to see what your thoughts are on them!! Have a nice day!!

[@the_block-99]

nice build

[@trolling-network]

what can i get for 2000$-2500$ in the future when the nvidia 50 series gpu and amds 9000 cpu (i want to include aio's and 64 gb ram) the thing is i was looking for one in ztt but all of em are rx gpus and i need a nvidia one

[@infinite7633]

@@trolling-networkThis time, AMD is not matching up to Nvidia, meaning the new Nvidia 50xx seires card are going to be SUPER expansive, they can be in $1000's As of AMD 9000 series CPU, the latest report are saying that they are not any better then 7800x3d nor the 7950x3d, so leave that as well. If you wanna build a pc with the current parts, 2500$ might not be enough for max out parts, but you can still get 4080super, 7800x3d, 64gb ram, 2tb ssd and other stuff for around 2500-2700$ Edit: if you wanna get a USED pc you can prob get a 4090 beast of a PC for as low as 3000$ on the used market [ well thats for my country and prices atleast]

[@JJ0203]

Not to be a hater, but this build doesn’t even begin with $200. Don’t get into a clickbait loophole Zach. You’re too good for that

[@jasonwoodhead9187]

My thoughts exactly. I'm no mathematical genius, but the whole build adds up to over $300🤷🏻‍♂️

[@user-wv1he5yq8b]

SSD he already had and the 2060 was 100 dollars but if you sell the RX550 it'll negate some of that, so it's still 200 dollars but a more accurate title would be "200+ dollar PC " But people don't click on titles like that as much, simple and engaging title is best. Just marketing

[@FalloutUrMum]

Hey Zach, I had bought that mint green build you did a few months ago. The GPU in it lasted like 4 months lol. I know you got it from Ali-Express and there's no warranty on these monthly builds (I managed to scrape together enough for an RX 5700 on Ebay. Which hopefully works), I just wanted to give you an update regarding that 1660 Super. Was definitely sketchy lol. It ran great, until it didn't. Now it crashes on Lethal Company, I get a checkerboard pattern with Fallout New Vegas, and even Oblivion crashes with it. It seems to me that the GPU itself is fine, it's the VRAM that seems to mess up because I ran FurMark for 20 minutes with no issues. But then I get weird artifacts and OBS doesn't even open. Anybody know of anything I can do with the old 1660 Super? I can't bring myself to sell it given that it's not entirely functional. Still super grateful for the budget builds, I wouldn't have been able to get into PC gaming or play these older titles I love without it. I'll also add that I have CUDA installed, so my graphics card isn't just doing display tasks. I basically installed CUDA within the first week of having it, and have even run LLMs on it without any trouble, even today. It's just when there are complicated visual tasks like running games, even KZbin, that I get crashes - but for some reason FurMark ran fine

[@AlexHusTech]

Wow hopefully Zach sorts it!

[@FalloutUrMum]

@@AlexHusTech he doesn't owe me. There's no warranty on these monthly builds. I just thought he'd like an update so he doesn't go to that supplier again

[@FalloutUrMum]

@@AlexHusTech he doesn't owe me anything, I just thought he'd like an update so he avoids that supplier in the future. I also want to know what to do with that card lol

That's great, videos like these are the reason why your channel is great, the decoration is also decent, you could've made look like the Noctua case if you kept the PC black, but other than that, your videos are great, hopefully you'll make a video about sleeper builds with decent specs, I've seen many cases from the 2010s that look great, especially old workstation cases like the ones from Fujitsu since I'm also considering used cases made by them on EBay and they sell for €20-40.

[@the_block-99]

Zach i want to build a sleeper in an acer aspire(a 2009 model) case i had left over from building my grandpa a new pc and then disassembling his old one, the problem is that the case is very thin, so a normal gpu wont fit. I found a thin gpu(a 4060) on pcpp, but the pictures showed it with a normal pci slot brackets, do you think it comes with a slim bracket as well?

[@YanLuo]

That case is ultra beautiful! I wonder how good the airflow would be

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Not that great of airflow in these OEM builds lol

[@Retailracing]

Dude I’m watching this from France and I’m going to make the exact same build that you, including the same pc case painting and vinyl, thanks a lot for your video, really helps me knowing that I’m 14 yrs old on a really tight budget and keep it up.

[@Pincentral383]

Fact you were able to get any of those dx12 games to run is impressive, 550 just wasn’t built to handle the new engines.

[@prowlxio]

keep in mind the CPU is gonna run hot i use a 10400f with a similar sized cooler and it gets up to 84C sometimes and thats with a case with good airflow, id recommend upgrading the CPU cooler if possible

[@Serpant_Edits]

i got a budget pc used for 180 and had a 960 i think. upgraded to a 1080 but now im thinking of upgrading again. if so what should i upgrade to and if i was would i need to upgrade some of the rest of the build so its balanced?

[@ThauXeon]

Also if you are a very budget baller on the GPU you can get a used rx 580 8gb dirt cheap, it's still okay with 1080p medium for like $20-30

[@thereisonlyonetruelord7552]

May I ask how you powered the RTX 2060? Something like a SATA to 8-pin? I have a very similar HP Pavillion desktop and it doesn't have a GPU power connector. I'm thinking of installing a GPU but seeing as there is no dedicated GPU power connector I'm wondering if it's just best to get a PCI powered GPU like the 1650 super.

[@TwisQ]

Get an rtx a2000 it performs like the 2060

[@thereisonlyonetruelord7552]

I would but my budget is $150 max, and where I live the A2000 goes for a lot more, so there aren't many options. Perhaps doing a 2060 sata-to-8pin, with the GPU undervolted and maybe even underclocked (to limit max power consumption) would work. I don't run the most intensive programs or games.

The only issue I find when looking at oem pc's is the low wattage power supplies. Most I find have like 200~240 watt psu's which just isn't enough for most builds. Unless you use a card like a 1650 which only takes 75W.

Hi Zach, hope you get to see this. I've been following your videos for sometime now and I'm looking to set up a simple budget gaming PC for 1080P gaming. I'm from Nigeria so ordering PC parts overseas is going to be more than a struggle (internal country problems and what not). However I've settled for for getting an OEM desktop and to get a graphics card that I can try to sort out from the local marker here. Can you please advise on specifications I can look out for that can give an average 60fps on 1080p? Thanks in advance.

[@freerider40]

Hey Zac, Here's a new and different challange for you, I've been recently in the market for a budget-friendly editing PC with a minimum of 128GB of RAM. It needs to have high processing power and a decent motherboard + other parts all around $500. The pc also needs to efficiently handle a ton of virtual instruments on software like Cubase, Premiere Pro, and more. I know that gaming pcs is your thing but I reckon you'd tackle this challange pretty darn well. I've been quite recently really enjoying your budget PC builds and I cant wait for your next project.

[@ikhsannurrahman8911]

I didn't have a pc, but I have a brain tickling question living inside my brain for awhile and I wanted to dump it out here. Can you put your radiator (of a watercooled system) right in front of your air conditioner unit? Because the logic I can only see is the chilled wind from the ac is going to cool the water faster, plus the speed of the wind (I thought may be) roughly the same as a regular fan. Sorry for my bad English, I'm still learning, just learning for 2 months. Anyways, the answer matters more because my "random, long lasting thoughts" program is taking so much of my low capacity organic stoarage and low speed grey matter transistors.🙏

[@voodoopai_4736]

If you upgrade the GPU your monitor still will not have the potential to produce 1440p so you can buy monitor first and then the GPU upgrade
