Thanks for all the love on this video. This one was a ton of work for our team but hopefully this will be a useful resource for you!

[@ChubbySenpaii17]

Can I i build a P500 thinkstation

[@vizedh]

with fps on so i can see

[@annasvensson3533]

WTF 600 USD for Intel I3 12100F !??? WTF are you talking about???

[@DraftySatyr]

@@annasvensson3533 Keep your hair on. Although he didn't say it, it was obvious that what he meant was that for a $600 PC you really can't beat an Intel i3 12100F.

[@paulmartinez-c5r]

Thank you much for all your time making these videos. You make them very fun to watch and also very informative so truly thanks for all you guys do and thanks to all your team for helping you get these videos out to people like me/Us peoples...

[@kenshi1295]

You guys actually, and i mean to say ACTUALLY are mind readers. My mother told me the budget is 600, take it or leave it, and you guys drop this? I love you. I just can't process this feeling of luck. I love you. Thank you.

[@kenshi1295]

For context, it is my FIRST build ever, i've never done such thing before, i watched thousands of tutorials yet i'm still anxious, you guys help me out so much to combat my depression, i can't wait.

[@msbms]

Gratz mate. I feel you. 🎉

[@boondock6055]

My mommy told me im a good boy

[@DrezzarEC006]

I would go for a ryzen 5500 more cores for almost same price, just swap cpu for ryzen 5500 and board to a b550, games like warzone/fortnite are very cpu hungry, it will even cost you less, b550 boards with similar specs costs around 80$, ryzen 5500 97$, the rest of the build is fine as it is

[@star5328]

@@DrezzarEC006 If you're going 5500 you can even shop b450 builds. 5500 can't use gen 4 pcie anyways and honestly for just gaming gen 4 isn't necessary so b450 will have the same upgrade path.

[@tommysonnier9848]

Built this with 32GB ram, 2TBssd, Jonsbo Pisa A5 cooler and 750W power supply instead, and additional fan at top rear for $751.45 with tax. These upgrades were only for my satisfaction. Because the MB and GPU were slightly more cost at time of purchase, their exact build would have costed me slightly more than $660 with my state's tax. Good video and a great first build that more than suits my needs. I don't need the bragging rights of a more expensive build.

[@kalembrobert9834]

I think the builds are more enjoyable and its a move in the right direction! ill start recommending this to newer builders or anybody that isnt comfortable with pcs yet.

[@bradleycochran4595]

You are one of the channels I listen to during my workday and it is always enjoyable. I used one of your guides to buoild my nephew a 1440 P Gaming PC.

[@SOLVIC17]

I love how you guys do a full out tutorial for a budget pc!! And if possible can you guys try a $800 -$850 pc build!! Either ways thank you so much for taking the time to do this step-by-step! 🔥

Also, how well are your settings and is this a easy build

[@micahhanna3235]

I actually purchased the Gigamax 600w based off your recommondations for a build that I am doing tomorrow. I recently upgraded my 5600x to a 5800x3d so I just have a Ryzen 5 lying around that I decided to do another build around. Specs: 5600x CPU w/ Thermalriight assassin x120 R SE Gigabye b550m-K 16 GB SP Zenith 3200mhz DDR4 1TB Solidigm P41 Gen 4 Nvme XFX 6600 8GB (as shown here) Zalman Gigamax 600w (as shown here) Montech Air 100 ARGB Matx Case Also throwing in an old Seagate Barricuda drive that's strangely 1.5TB that I pulled out of an old PC. Hope it turns out great cuz im about to just have a second pc.

[@SoloMix804]

I built a gaming pc and this video was nice to watch to see if I made a mistake. I will at some point post the building process of the gaming pc if you want to see it.

[@RavenHart-sx8xs]

One of the best pc building guide for beginners out there. I can't help but appreciate thank you guyz for dropping this video 👍

[@paulmartinez-c5r]

Truly love all the videos you put out have learned very much along the way. Keep up the great work.

I’m gonna build this exact pc i can’t wait !!

Just bought the whole parts yesterday can’t wait to build it thank you for the idea love watching your videos

[@jacobllavore397]

Just ordered a $600 build yesterday and glad to know mine was very similar!

[@JamesonKortay]

I am very new to PC building but I can use the ASRock B660M Motherboard with this build?

[@QuentinStephens]

Nice to see a budget build; how about following it up with costing budget peripherals - keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers / soundbar, webcam, headset, and game controller?

[@crodoutdoors]

As a Dell, Lenovo, and Hp certified tech thats 6ft 6in and 300lbs i find it easier to screw the motherboard into the case before adding the cpu, cooler, ram, ect. Im saving for my first custom build currently so i havent had to worry about cable management.

[@WildRice281]

I upgraded right away but thank you for this video. Helped me build my new pc!

[@watchAnimuruinsrlifu]

budget parts building are always great to watch than high end parts

Hey guys I have a question so I'm playing building a PC but the parts are rtx 3050 ryzen 5 4500 b550 mother board are those good parts? If not tell me which ones are good also I'm on a 500/600$ budget

no they are not good

[@jaredgarcia9210]

love the long form video guys! great job as always

[@stingrayslapper1595]

I absolutely love the long form videos

[@vigneshwaranv5053]

In the upgrade, you could have shown how to install a Deepcool or 3rd party cooler. Sometimes, they are a pain to deal with as well.

[@elcotv9385]

You deserve more subs! Great and very detailed video.

[@nickchan-smutko2895]

You should make more of these videos, this sure will help

[@zzznohops]

im basically getting same build but better gpu. 6650xt and its legit like same price/cheaper

[@phildelsol97]

Nice build video very good quality ! Very nice and detailed on what to do and what not to do.

[@LexusLFA554]

5:53 was very satisfying.

[@kalijade1587]

Does the motherboard have WiFi and Bluetooth or do you need to buy those things separately? The amazon reviews for it are terrible, and say it has WiFi issues…

[@konradorzel3871]

actually got a similar build to this but with a i3 13100f and 3600mhz cl16 ram and rtx 2070super and a gigabyte b760m gaming x litle more highend and looks better but overall nice build 😜

[@naomy1701]

if u use a towercooler, u might want to put in 9 screws to mount the Mobo, since the vibrations else can start to produce annoying rattling sounds. and yes, i had that happen and it took me quite some time to find out THAT was the issue -.-

[@jomama2777]

Actually building this pc rn just waiting for the moth board to come in the mail

Where is the cpu utilization on the msi afterburner? Did you forget it?

[@jordanmntungwa3311]

no electricity in my country so I've been going to sleep without the life-giving evening toast..😔

[@art_of_anarchism]

Nice build, tho if u cheap out on the motherboard for exemple MSI A520M PRO and the case, u can get it cheaper with RX6650 XT with at a even lower price.

[@そ飲鉛]

start with the i5 no point in the i3 if planning on upgrading later. Please don't use stock cooler on a i5 20$ for a solid tower cooler is so worth it

[@criscusack]

What game(s) would Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 be similar to in terms of performance/computer resources?

[@pujanpatadia9722]

fire vid as usual🔥

[@djbirdnoise6505]

i just needed this im getting a new pc so. i do need more tech knowledge 😅

what other pc case is good for this because the case you guys showed are gone!!!!!!

[@enoshkenon6727]

hi guys❤ can build like a budget gaming pc under 600$to700$ 6650xt are so cheap right now on brandnew market

[@XManShyt]

Have yet to see these guys flash a bios.. lol

[@Lammy_J97]

How many hz can I get from this setup? I’m wanting to get into pc gaming but I don’t want to break the bank. I play gps games like call of duty and apex. Would this setup work?

[@yourmom1619]

Building my first PC next month with similar products. This was first helpful video that’s not 8 minutes long and has a whole lot of cuts

[@jomama2777]

am i able to use the USB on the top of the case for a mic and headset?

[@homebuiltlife7835]

Not even gonna lie fellows I was in the video for 30 seconds and I subscribed immediately only because of the dragon ball Z T shirt lol.. And i'm trying to learn and build my own gaming p c..

[@dawsonpoe]

Do you guys care to build in some itx cases? Specifically the KXRORS S400 and S500, DAN A4 H20, and SSUPD Meshlicious. These cases are on my top radar. I’m mainly wanting to build a portable rig and I’ve also been curious to see if they’d fit in a backpack.

[@iiiSaav]

Do the PWM cable and the one next to it stay disconnected? Only the SATA gets connected there?

[@FODEI-yt]

If i'm going to build this pc in the next summer (when i have money), is this still good without upgrades. I would play pretty much fortnite. Good video❤

[@TANelson1585]

When you installed the m.2 SSD, why did you not take the paper off the SSD, won't that get in the way of thermal conductivity with the heat sink

[@flynnwaller6729]

So I’m confused does this pc have wifi or do you need to get a wireless network adapter

[@PureMotivationPower]

In my country I can get ryzen 5 5600 and mobo for less than i3 12100f with mobo

[@fwvzy]

is the rx 6600 xt good with this build too?

[@dbell3811]

Ph...means Phillips.....so you use Phillips #1 and#2.

[@vlogsnstuff3989]

I can't get the CPU fan to attach properly 😭😭 The top two screws just don't wanna get in there, and the bottom two screws are stuck in there

[@Tony-fu4in]

Any luck

I'm obsessed with pc building videos 😩 I can't wait to get mine but me being me I'm going purchase a rebuild from redux

[@LacsamanaXD]

Would this build handle helldivers 2?

[@bizbarley74]

Totally new to your channel, somehow you guys got passed me. I'm looking to do a budget build that would allow me to work in a used GTX 1080 Ti into the mix, considering they $150 now and have 11gbs of VRAM. I like this case, I have a lot of issues with budget builders that select bad cases. I was thinking of going with a B450 and a Ryzen 4500 for the extra cores. Mainly just because Intel CPUs get hot with their stock coolers and I thought I would get better performance with the 4500 and the 1080 Ti and be able to build the PC for $$150 less. Thing is, I wanna be able to follow your instructions step by step, but I think the 450 motherboard is pretty much the same right, I should be able to figure it out on the AMD side? I dunno. Looking at prices it looks like the i3 12100f is actually a few dollars cheaper than the 4500, and I watched a video of someone pairing the i3-12100 and the GTX 1080 Ti this morning with great results. And with intel, this has a slight upgrade path, while the b450 shuts you down. I just wanted the extra VRAM, 8 is not enough now. What do you think, any comments? Shit, ya'll have over half a million subs, you ain't hearing me. Hahahaha. If anyone in the comments reads my long winded rant, and would like to chat, people offer your opinion. I want a $450 budget PC, that's got some balls, and the only way I can figure that out is with using a 1080 ti

[@yourlocalbot8270]

Been wondering how to do this

[@GoblinChris42069]

can you read the other comments, no disrespect. Im not sure what case to use

[@thomasbrezgel8998]

your link to the mother board does not go to the wifi model

what if u wanted a ryzen chip?

How do you change the rgb

can i use a rx 6700 with this

[@nixongames5822]

Hey I was wondering. I’m contemplating getting a budget PC or a Ps5. I’m 14 getting about $200 a week for my job. I have 1.1k saved. My question is, should I save for a 1.5k PC or just get a Ps5. I just want something that I can play games with. Right now all Im thinking is that if I’m going to get a PC I should ideally be saving up for more. I just really don’t know.

[@WoogiStix]

What job do you have lol I need that bit get a pc 1000 is enough to outperform it

[@xcent331]

the mobo doesnt require an bios update for 13th gen?

[@ShadowBane0513]

Can you use a intel i7 with this motherboard?

[@yvngbryan4025]

which is better 6650 xt or 6000 xt

[@WayneWatson1]

Why y'all use that SP crap for the storage, I have no idea. You can get the Cardea z440 for a little more and it has 1800tbw. You can fill the drive every day for 5 years before using up the warranty and tbw

[@ValetruccoYT]

Why do u only use amd gpus can u do some pc with nvidia

[@thegreatTBA]

So we can use 4x8 ram with 12100?

[@tallsz559]

You could do the same but with a 6650 XT if you wanted and a 5500. Who cares about the upgrading. There will be newer and relevant tech down the line anyway.

[@frankrogers9231]

Hey @tostybros what is a good amd cpu for this build if we don’t want to go the blue route?
