Builds like this are great for kids... in a good way. I put together an optiplex case swap with a i5-3570, 1050ti, and 16gb DDR3 1333mhz for my 8 year old daughter. She was OVER THE MOON when I gave it to her. It plays all her favorite games, the RGB fans look cool to her, and most importantly... she now has a PC like mom and dad do. And for the games she plays, it'll hold up for years. We just beat the Co-Op Campaign(?) of Portal 2 together, and we had so much fun playing it.

I feel like build from 0-800 are the best and most realistic, like if you think about it most people aren't gonna spend more unless if they specifically are looking for a component that's expensive for some purpose like streaming, video editing or something

Absolutely, diminishing returns!

[@SpaceLion949]

That's for sure! Most people are casual gamers who will be more than happy with an inexpensive machine like this, upgradability is not that important at this price point. Only hardcore enthusiast would spend more money, and not necessarily because they need to.

Love these series, I would love how you would progress a budget pc like this after saving up another 100-200$ as it would bring good examples how to go about it for someone who has a working well enough pc, but would like to play a newer game or at higher quality :) Cheers

[@tryllejens]

Nice build! But just to add, actually some of these Aliexpress motherboards only have one, if any, SATA 3 ports, meaning SATA SSDs will be capped in bandwidth if connected to a SATA 2 port, so going with an M.2 SSD is actually a better idea. Some of these boards run at PCIE gen 3 speeds in the M.2 port, so budget NVMEs run at their full speed.

[@FluffyPuppyKasey]

I've got a pretty monstrous system (7950X3D, 128GB of RAM, RX 7900XTX + RTX 4090 passed through to a Windows VM), but I do still like watching budget builds like this a lot. Might pick something like this up to use as a server or something

Iceberg Tech posted a video earlier today where he built a £200 ($254 USD) PC with mostly used parts consisting of an RX 5500, Xeon E5-2680 V3 CPU and dual channel 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and he was getting 95 FPS on Fortnite at 1080p Low, 61 FPS on Cyberpunk at 1080p Low and 67 FPS on Red Dead 2 at 1080p "DF Console Equivalent settings". For $200, used is definitely the way to go. It's crazy to me when uninformed console people act like you have to spend $1,500+ just to get a half decent PC. No, $200 isn't gonna get you super far, but it will do more than what a lot of people think it can do.

[@JasonWitmerYT]

Totally agree that used is the way to go - especially when it comes to the GPU. I'll check out that vid - thanks for watching!

[@theunknown5539]

Agreed

[@owenj2394]

Is it better than a £250 xbox series s though?

[@caelanb1711]

@owenj2394 Absolutely. That console has aged way worse than the other current gen consoles. Sub 1080p resolutions and 30fps limits are very common with that thing now for newer games, not to mention certain features being left out like Baldurs Gate 3 not having splitscreen support on the Series S for example. PC also has better and more frequent sales, and you don't have to pay to play online like with the consoles.

[@owenj2394]

Xbox series s is the newer console mate, my xbox one s couldnt handle mw2 campaign yet alone the new mw3 my series s handles mw3 above 60fps at 2k resolution which is the max my tv will allow for

I bought an Iwongu CPU cooler (single fan) for my build. A Ryzen 3 3100, and at 100% load, the temp never goes above 55*C at 3.89GHz turbo.

[@t0x1cl]

With LGA 2011 chips supporting quad-channel memory, I think one should keep in mind whether the board one looks at supports dual- or quad-channel.

[@harrybryan9633]

Re: "New motherboards" - yes, these are new motherboards. Some chipsets are salvaged, but others aren't. Additional info: Get 4 sticks of ram - that CPU uses quad channel memory. You would have gotten better performance with 4x4gb sticks. At a $250 budget, you could have covered the case & an RX 5500XT.

[@realpotatogaming]

That final cost didn't incude the case, power supply OR the CMOS battery.

[@JasonWitmerYT]

It included everything but the cmos battery, you can get those for $1

[@realpotatogaming]

50 bucks (cpu+mobo+ram) + 70$ (gpu) + 35$ (psu) + 50$ (case) + 35$ (ssd) = 240$ total (rounded down)@@JasonWitmerYT

[@midrezgaming]

Built a similar system so a similar price, a bit overpriced imo, but still pretty capable for 2024.

Supports ddr4 quad channel, and there are bioses from miyconst that support resizable bar and turbo unlock the chip (all cores running at single core boost), as well as 1-2 nvme's.

[@von_brownie]

It's a good start for xeon builds, but as an experienced assembler of similar computers from Russia, I have some tips for you: you must definitely use the 4-channel memory mode, as this will allow you to achieve a read-write speed of the ddr4 level. I understand your distrust of the nvme slot, but believe me, there are much fewer problems with them than with the bios on these boards. It was necessary to use a good nvme drive, at least 500GB (kingston nv3000 as an example). The choice of 2048sp is literally the basis of assemblies in this price segment, the brand you have chosen is quite good in quality, but I also advise you to consider the Chinese division of asus, namely colorful, in the future, since brand new graphics cards are sold under this brand at a lower price than in the USA. Regarding motherboards, yes, you're right, these are used chipsets, but they are installed on brand new boards, although their quality can vary greatly from seller to seller (the brand most often does not mean anything for such boards, although in most cases we buy xuananzhi boards).
