Yo! Toasty Bros! I love your budget conscious builds. I am really entertained by your aliexpress builds though. I was thinking about building one for my young son since they are so cheap. You always talk about the m.2s being wonky though. Could you perhaps make a video or a short explaining the issues you've had and what makes them act funky? Or a video testing how to get them to work or show why they don't? Is it the m.2 satas, the nvmes, the manufacturers? I like 2.5" ssds but I have been baptized by the glorious nvme waters.

For anyone who might be interested in the budget xeons, for many of the v4 and v3 chips theres actually a bios hack that allows for higher all core boost clocks. It is overclocking technically but it uses a codec/bios code vs actually over clocking it works really well my one friend did it with a v3 xeon got 1ghz higher on the all core also the fact he had single channel memory thats impressive results for the xeon board

[@jonpeley]

I have that same Patriot SSD. It died within 3-4 months since I bought it due to firmware corruption (the infamous Satafirm S11 error). It stayed in a shelf for about a year until I tried repairing it re-writting a new firmware with some software. It's currently working as a tertiary drive to store some games and hasn't failed it since (1,5 years). Anyways I wouldn't recommend to buy it.

Can you do a $320 aliexpress pc?

Essentially the same as $200 build. You get slightly better Xeon, more RAM and storage. Local PSU and case. If you have any money left you get RX 590 GME instead of RX 580 2048 SP . Or even 5600 XT .

[@hirumiayame]

do you thing i5 7500 and rx580/570 is still good combo? Im still using old system

[@darthwiizius]

A 7500 can work with much faster cards than a 580, but if you're building something to last it's a good idea to go for AM5, it's probably got two whole generations of chips still to come for it, might even got another 3, AM4 got 4 Zen gens on it. When I changed to AM4 I did the platform first then upgraded the GPU later, then switched from Zen to Zen 3 a year and half after that. Even with my old GTX1060 6GB I could tell the differences between 4th gen i7, Zen, 4th geni7 bottlenecked the GPU where Zen didn't but caused stutters. The stutters were still there with Zen and the GPU upgrade but vanished with the Zen 3 part.

[@hirumiayame]

@@darthwiizius my current system is i5 7500 and gtx650 4gb, idk if this an upgrade but i want to change the gpu into the better one, there is still thing i want to upgrade on my old system

[@Official_QuickScope_Clan]

​@@hirumiayame a very good gpu around the price of an rx 580 is an RTX 4090

[@darthwiizius]

@@hirumiayame A 580 is a fair bit faster than GTX650, a 580 2048 is about the same as a 1060 6GB/RX570, so 3 generations newer and a tier higher. For context a 1060 put out around double the FPS of a 960, though that was a big jump at the time compared to most years.

[@Tatoebot]

Rx6400 lp

[@abbymkw12]

maybe 1060 or rx 580

The current best option for low profile and no external power need is the 3050 recently released. It's not, by any means, a powerful GPU, but it will do the job.
