Ryzen is Finally DIRT CHEAP

[@ZincLeadAlloy]

Yeah the man is back! I was starting to get worried about you. Ofc you have a live to tend to as well but I'm more than happy to get a new video!

[@aChairLeg]

Haha thank you! Work gets in the way sometimes and more expensive videos like these tend to suck the budget for the month. I'm hoping to get back on track soon but you never know with life

[@ZincLeadAlloy]

@@aChairLeg I'm assuming you work in the tech industry I've been trying to get into it myself but for some reason people don't want people that don't have experience in IT although I do have a high school technical degree and a ba on cyber security and nonprofessional experience but since I don't have a comptia A plus, and I don't live in the metropolitan area people just don't want to hire me. Do you have any pointers as to how to get started?

[@ZincLeadAlloy]

@@aChairLeg my bath wishes on your endeavors my friend I know that this is a tough job and sometimes inspiration can take a back seat too so keep going with your great quality videos I've seen some big KZbinrs mentioned you too so you're getting there I'm rooting for you

[@aChairLeg]

Haha funnily enough not in tech. Most of my working life has been spent with cars or insurance. I tried breaking into IT a couple years back. I did get a few job offers without taking any CompTIA courses, but the pay was pretty rough compared to the other industries I worked in. I prefer boring non glamorous jobs since they have to pay more to get people in the door.

[@ZincLeadAlloy]

@@aChairLeg haha I'm on that boat right now. I'm a contractor safety manager and people hate me and that tends to pay well, or at least better that mcDs 😂 have a great one mate and Thanks for the video!

[@TheRedOGRE]

Lol did the samething with the gpu when did my first pc build 11 months ago. I didnt unplug it tho and just used my small racoon like hands to plug in the front panel power and usb 3. Your videos are awesome would love to see more uploads. Your videos have inspired me to buy some cheap older parts and make a server.

[@jacksonbtb571]

rx 6600 is a great used gpu right now. If you can find a reasonably priced b550 board, and a ryzen 3600, you can run it at full pcie gen 4 speeds which can give it a nice boost to fps in some games

[@andystech101]

Great video, not my personal choice of case for the money and I definitely think you could get the cost down to £400/$450 here in the UK. There’s some insane deals on m.2 SSD’s at the moment around £40 for a 1TB! The functional cable management is ace as well 🤩 who cares nobody going to see it 😉

[@_taho]

Yea I managed to haggle down to approx 37 pounds, for a used 1TB PM981!

[@techenstein5519]

I've seen 3700x go for about $100 quite a few times, so it's not that far fetched 👍

[@yrboogiemn]

That first sentence in this video made me subscribe.

[@banks3388]

Fun Fact: This would also make an excellent Linux system...

[@lucasward9506]

Its crazy that the first processor I bought (and the one I'm still using) was a ryzen 3 1300x.

[@CherryColaWizard]

I have a build very similar to this. The only difference is that every part (minus the graphics card) I bought new in 2018. Ryzen 7 2700X with 16gb of RAM on an X470 motherboard. Got the RX 6650 XT last year and it's still playing every game I like very well. Also have upgraded to 32 GB of RAM. Maybe I'll upgrade to the 5700X3D or 5950X at some point.

[@stevenanderson3205]

Even new there are great deals i saw a 10400f on amazon for 108.00 and the R5 5600 is 140.00 plus with a b550 motherboard you can upgrade to a 5950x nice

[@924tiroloco]

I just discovered your channel man and let me tell you it’s pure gold the way you record the videos are awesome, any recommendations on how to make great angles or any courses I can take I wanna start my own review channel but don’t have any idea on how to take great shots, also thanks a lot for the video I was also looking to build a pc under 600$ and this video just gave me the answer

[@aChairLeg]

Just make videos and learn as much as you can. Network w other creators and learn from them as early as possible too. You'd be surprised how many creators there are out there willing to give you pointers

[@robsquared2]

Good for you on saving money. I'd rather jump off a ladder than haggle with another human.

[@aChairLeg]

I hate haggling in person, but sending offers on ebay isn't too bad. I find 1-2 listings a day and make an offer, if they counter or ignore I just wait for it to expire. I'm also a giant cheapskate, haha. Never spent more than $500 on anything besides my car which I got for about $5k cheaper due to some interior wear I can fix

[@_taho]

It's a good skill to have. When buying used items online, I'd much rather send offers than haggle in person. Not a fan of wasting each other's time. You lose the opportunities you don't take!

[@alecjahn]

And now you can get a 5600x for at or around $100. Looking forward to building a rig around that... let's say the ol' FX 6300 machine sitting in my office isn't getting used much anymore these days, definitely feeling that FX pain.

[@arsenic3208]

Highly recommend the rx580 8gb card paired with an r5 1600x. Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, Minecraft, it didn’t care what I threw at it, as long as it was 1080p and I turned some settings down (turn shadows down first) I got 60fps in most games. It even ran switch and Wii U emulators with better texture mods and draw distance mods fine, as well as every other console besides the Xbox line, and ps3 or 4. Seriously, the non top tier parts are still perfectly capable, and hold good value.

[@brentw8365]

SSDs have gotten cheaper than what you spec'd this build with. $42 for 1TB M. 2 is possible now

[@ryosquid]

lol im about to build this this as my first PC. any recommendations on upgrades?

[@FlourIsASpice]

Do you buy and sell hardware you buy/review. We gotta have a video on the jankstation being fully upgraded

[@aChairLeg]

Heavily depends on the video, but I gave the jankstation away. It's currently rocking the 2697 v3 and a GTX 1050ti, nothing crazy at all, just someone's first gaming/streaming setup

[@blouppytux]

Stupid question, why putting the ssd near the power supply will there is 2 slots on the side of the case (the side where the cables are ) ?

[@aChairLeg]

Because it was supposed to have an m.2 ssd, so I didn't want to clutter up the case with something that wasn't supposed to be there. If it was supposed to have a sata ssd I would have put it in the proper space

[@umric]

yippee!

[@maulaahmad2542]

your intro stole a sub and that's me

[@Sybertek]

Budget board, but the onboard audio is ass. Still, nice budget build.

[@aChairLeg]

With how cheap the board was, I'd get just an external DAC. Plus if you're into audio there's a good chance you'll end up with one anyways

[@tharimoose]

I got a ryzen 5 2600x for 44$ on aliexpress

[@trashpanda502]

Is there a way we can donate? Paypal, crypto or patreon?

[@aChairLeg]

Nah not currently. I don't really feel right asking people to just give me money, especially when I get about $300 a month from youtube and affiliate links to work with and help make videos.

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

Absolutely no guilt in firing up the patreon machine.

[@aChairLeg]

Always a consideration, maybe if people could suggest projects and once the goal is hit I'll do them. I have a giant list of videos I'd love to do but don't have the budget for. Either way, I'm not exactly keen on just asking for free money, especially since most people don't make anything at all from their hobbies. Let alone enough to sustain the hobby itself.

Second!

[@ragnarlothbrok3691]

Tech channels efficiently made us & themselves believe that even 100$ only for cpu is a good price and is cheap. Is it just we or both of us got doped through manufacturing consent?

[@_taho]

The world won't be fun if that's the kind of thoughts you have. Everything you consume can be subjected to such ideas. Food, clothes, jewellery, are you going to talk about those as well?

[@ragnarlothbrok3691]

@@_taho Then again, the end product wouldn't be funny if we choose to turn a blind eye to the problem, even when fun is subjective. We only address whatever concern us, don't we?
