This $200 Budget Gaming PC Build is Shockingly Good!

In this video, I build a super-budget $200 gaming PC with parts that I ordered from AliExpress. This is an extremely budget gaming PC, so after game testing, we'll see if it's worth it.
Enjoy watching!

I literlly showed this video to my parents for 200$ dollars that was impressive

[@iLoveBigBootyWomenfr]

dont do it bro i almost made the mistake of getting a pc that ran all games from low-medium settings,i saved up my money for a while and ended up getting a pc that can run just about anything for 380 bucks and it runs every game except starfield on high settings

[@ImJusSha]

At least save up 200 more dollars 400 would be better

[@JoseLucasd]

Why ppl acting like this is a bad choice and just saying "save up more 200"☠️☠️☠️☠️teehee just get more money bro, is easy af, i was trying to get a rx550 but i just noticed i could save more 1950 bucks and get 4090 haha my ass getting me in trouble

For $200 you really can't complain. I paid $300 for a PC that has an i7 8700k, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, GTX 1060 6GB, Corsair H100i 240mm AIO cooler, and the case which is a Kediers C570 open air with 7 RGB fans.

My current rig is composed of i5 9600k + GTX1060 6G, I'm trying to sell it for 350€ because my mobo only has one usable ram channel. Still, checking the second hand market on my country's most used 2nd hand platform (like Craigslist or Ebay) my pc is the best pc listed for sale under 500€ , but the market is so tiny that no1 has bought it yet

Great find. I have a similar system and paid $200 but I got mine with a workstation. I am running a Dell T3600 with an E5-2665 and 64GB of RAM and just recently upgraded from an RX 570 to an RX 5600XT. With it being a prebuilt it does reduce the customization options but I happen to like the subdued black case design of the Dells of the day so I am not so fussed about it.

[@str333aklive]

very interesting that this mobo has you install the first 2 dimms in the green slots, because most other mobos on aliexpress that are x79 or x99 use the outside 2.

Dual channel speeds. Wrong?

[@str333ak]

[@neverletthemtameyou]

Thanks for a great video +1. Were you able to control fan speeds at all with this motherboard? When I have build with these I haven't been able to control any fan speeds.

[@marianistefanoj]

Really nice build, maybe for a next one there's a combo pro 'zsus' with 'x99' motherboard with xeon 2650v4 that would be fine with rx580, only ddr4 cost about a bit more but there's budget ddr4 memories for low prices in aliexpress promotions too, greetings from Brazil (btw i'm using a 2680 v4 + machinist mr9a and runs great)

[@Nanvobo]

Wow! What you did here was amazing at such a low budget, you should certainly include Rust on your standard benchmarks, It’s one of the most popular games on steam but never seems get benchmarked on any system showcases.

[@Nanvobo]

Yes, that game. @@SkullxStole

[@MrRustavski]

Nice good job man

[@RichardArkax]

finally someone inteligent using the X99 platform

[@aynamehd7455]

i would go for an x99 combo as x99 cpus have better single core performance and turbo boost unlock. the 2640v3 runs around the same amount of the 2650v2 and is much faster

[@nazierjamie5342]

Super impressive, I think if Aliexpress can work on the quality of the shipping services , it can be a great option for people to buy the parts that they need for that budget build.

[@kaderacer98]

thank you tech closet

[@CrocoDylianVT]

because of the powerr constrain of the power supply, you can undervolt the GPU from the AMD driver, you can do it either manually or let it decide automatically how much power it'll drop, that will reduce power usage making it easier for the PSU to handle the system

[@neil2470]

Are the GPU'S, Cpu's and motherboards from Allirexpress any good? I've seen so many, but you can never be sure from there on whether it's any good I'm looking at building my first gaming PC this year, but on a budget

[@samanthagriffinv2.08]

That’s nice that you can fit a ssd in a ultra budget pc it wasn’t like that a few years ago you’d be lucky to fit it in a mid range pc

[@anadventfollower1181]

Very nice coverage, thank you for going in depth with the component of choice. I am wanting to become a first time buyer of Ali Express in the future.

[@kby9001]

Did you have to buy a separate bracket to mount the cpu cooler? I ordered the same one from the link but it doesn't have a 2011 socket size 😢

[@user-dc1pq9fm1x]

absolutley great do u have any other pc cases or links and power supply because the newegg link isnt available in my region

[@AndysTechWall]

VERY important question.. for the cooler, i see the compatibility technically doesnt say lga 2011 but the motherboard comes with the adapter. what coolers does the adapter make it compatible for?

[@MindLessPeople123]

For 200$ That is a beast

[@jameswave7832]

I have the same build that runs CS2 at 120 FPS, that’s so beautiful.

[@jameswave7832]

My CPU is E5-1650v3 and I use ddr4 Ram

[@user-bk9mu9yy5o]

Are you sure the power supply cables and pc cables connect to the mother board?

[@1joealbini]

I can’t believe how well rust plays here

[@Wolfiegangs]

I want to build this build but I worried about a few things. Can the motherboard bios be updated? Won't this motherboard/CPU suffer from support down the line? I also heard the drivers switched to legacy for the GPU. Not sure what that means but will it affect this build?

[@Capybaracomputers]

Yeah for the board they have to make bios packages to update it but since it’s such an old platforms you’re stuck on whatever CPUs came out for that platform, just look up x79 2011 those are the CPUs for that motherboard only, also yes rx580 stopped driver support for this exact reason that people have been buying Chinese GPUs and not official ones so they were loosing money bc no one buys the new ones It means you won’t be able to play new games that release with modern drivers, the rx580. A customer already walked in today to tell me his GPU won’t launch a new game, after he “upgraded” from a 1050ti I explained to him the gtx 1050ti although has less vram will be able to still launch and play new games released to this day since that GPU will continue to get GPU driver updates Just something to keep in mind but for $200 this is a good deal

[@StarNightSkys]

Tried this build with a different case due to the one in the video sold out. Had to get a 500w power; turned off to reroute the main cable and PSU died wouldn't turn back on. Any recommendations?

[@Quastillo]

how much amp was on the 12v on that psu ? max tdp on gpu was 185W does it crashed ?when filming this video?

[@internziko]

That PC is worth about $300 - $350 so I'd say you're in pretty good shape

[@nicholascampbell90]

So did you rma the gpu or just run the tests with the cracked plastic?

[@TheDaoistheway]

Impressive

[@ojnsofgnosnf245]

i bought the parts except for a different brand of gpu and a different ssd. i also got a 500w psu. on the gpu there is a white led and the pc works but will not connect to monitor. any fixes?

[@crazy_dogggg]

Hey 👋 I was wondering what size PC case is it I can't open the link Is it a mid Tower or full tower

[@YuNherd]

suggested psu with gpu is 450w and processor already has 95w tdp, dont know if it pose any problems. feel free to correct me.

[@carlolalattacosterbosa5821]

nice build! i think a x99 combo can be a more future proof product (AVX2 there) for just a few bucks more,,,

[@codyn92]

Nice build, it shouldn't be the case with the rx 580 but I would avoid Mllse gpus. They have some that had a hacked bios so they appear to be a better card. That said there's other decent options on Aliexpress though. Also, if you flash Windows 11 onto a usb using rufus there's an option to remove the requirements from Windows 11 so you install it on unsupported hardware.

[@BrainBoostCD]

The case + power supply is sold out! Do you know where I can find a replacement for both?🙏

[@ItsaNoah]

Great video thought I would tell you ex 580 support just got dropped

X79 Mobo, 1650v2 Xeon, 16gb-1866 DDR3 Ram, GTX980Ti, 1680x1050 Resolution TFT Display Still capable for AAA gaming (the lower res of the Display helps here) with low settings. Can recommend doing this as new gaming PCs are very expensive in comparison. However, you can get decent prices for Ryzen 3600 CPU/Mobo Combos that are much more energy efficient and faster...

[@gonehollow99]

This is very impressive and entertaining to watch, but I urge anyone considering this to save up a bit more of money and buy better parts (mobo/cpu/ram). The aliexpress RX580 seems very usable and worth the money tho For people on budget, try and get a Ryzen 5 3600. Preferably, pick an AM4 mobo that allows PCIE 4, so you can upgrade up to a 5800X3D if you ever have the possibility to!
