I want to share my current PC build. My current PC build took me a month to aquire all the parts, because I wanted to find the best deals possible. I only spent a little over $300. A majority of the parts are used, but I got great deals on them. The GTX 1060 3GB OC Edition only cost me $97 and it works beautifully. My PSU is an EVGA 500B Power Supply, which only cost me about $40 and still smelled brand new when I received it. My CPU, which only cost a whopping $40 from someone who just upgraded, is an AMD FX-8350. My RAM is Kingston HyperX Fury which cost me about $25 for the set. My motherboard is an ASUS M5A78I-M Plus, which only cost me $40 for a new one. I got a Samsung 500GB SSD for about $45 (I bought the SSD a while after finishing the build), and I used a 1TB HDD I already had. I bought a WiFi/Bluetooth card for $17. And finally, my chassis is a DeepCool Tesseract SW, for about $55.

[@h0tl1n3]

i mean, it's fine, but i think that you should have gotten a mobo with a 970 chipset and a nice cooler to overclock not only the cpu, but also the ram frequency and cpu/nb. You'd gain a significant boost in performance. And how much ram did you buy?

More expensive case. I figured that the 4 fans that this case has would help out in the future, and my 13 yo son said that "it is not a gaming PC without RGB" so I suppose there is that.

I don’t know much about PC’s so I have a question that may seem dumb. Are these parts specifically chosen to work with each other or are they just chosen because they are in the right price range and good and everything? For example, would it matter if I swapped out a few of the parts for other parts. (Like the case for the ‘Just Game’)

Linus! Please do a video about building a PC for school. Nowadays laptops just don't hold up, and a lot of people don't have $1000+ to spend. Everyone is at home because of COVID 19, and I think a lot of people would find some useful knowledge from you on what to look for. Also, a lot of people (kids) want to play games on there console, so they settle for their phone or a cheap laptop. That won't work whenever they need a computer to do all of their school work. Plus all of the kids are hyped for the new Xbox and PlayStation, and buying both will break the parent's bank. Thanks for the informative videos, they helped me buy and build my first PC.

[@JasonEllingsworth]

Absolutely zero reason to build new pc under 1k cost unless you are absolutely sure you will only be playing pixel games, minecraft, fortnite, WoW, or whatever else you can think of that plays on a toaster. SPending less means you will want to replace it much sooner, and the cost per year goes higher. For example a 300 dollar pc is only good for a year. 500 is only maybe good for 2. However if you spend 1k you will have a pc that is good for 5 years. 850 would be a good target though but only if you were getting good sale prices.

[@d3n1028]

Ishmael Maphingers can I have whatever you ingested before making this comment? Bc that must be some damn good stuff for you to claim all that^

[@JasonEllingsworth]

Binge Anime it's simple. A 700 dollar PC has a 250-300 dollar card in it. A 250-300 dollar gpu will only be good for playing at 1080p. Many people are already moving beyond 1080 to 2k and some even 4k. Therefore you are getting very little value out of your rig once you split the cost for the number of years your parts are actually relevant. And like I said if all you play is old shit and pixel games it's perfectly fine, but if you play the latest AAA games you will be wasting your money if you spend less than 800 bucks on a gaming pc

[@snugglyjeff214]

Ishmael Maphingers I agree. I can see some people on a tight budget trying to defend their budget rig, but ultimately spending more now does in fact break the cost down more in your favor for the number of years your parts will be good for. Also there's resale value in higher end gpu's... Much more than something like a 1660 ti that made no sense even when it was brand new
