The new lineup of consoles is a pretty sweet deal when you consider the price and performance, but can we build a gaming PC that can thwart these well-optimized gaming boxes? We’re sure going to try!

@@GroteGlon
Me too!
My brother said that about 10 times when I helped him build his PC a couple months back.

@lucky m3x I would love to, but there's not one within 250 miles of me
Edit: The guy I was replying to deleted his comment but was suggesting that we go to Micro Center
@lucky m3x Sure, it's just 3600 miles away.
Luckily best buy forces people to enter a verification code through email first so I am finally getting one tomorrow
@@folland34 all of the discord chats in the world don't solve the supply problem of there not being enough cards in the first place
I got one just get gud scrub
I am so glad that consoles can now give this performance for so little money. It puts strain on the pc manufacturers to give better quality parts for the same price and pushes innovation
Yeah...well nvidia just doesnt care. Their prices have literally doubled in like 8 years. Which is exactly why i switched to console gaming. No need for freesync, or gsync, or vsync, faster load times despite me having a good ssd on my pc. Better image quality. Not infested with hackers in cod. Its just a better experience now. PC used to have all the advantages in performance. Nowadays, it gets crapped on for the price/performance metric. Like its not even close. I have a 450 dollar gpu i bought 6 months before the series x released. And the series x is more powerful. And thats 1 part of the pc...pc gaming is just not it anymore unless you got hella money for a 4k 120hz freesync/gsync tv/monitor, plus the pc itself. Its ridiculous.
@@HeartInLight No way is an xbox better image quality than a pc, are you drunk. LOL. Of course no need for syncing software because your fps is capped to 60! 120 on some games. keep lying to yourself
@@trashforky8848 same here ;)
I just want AMD to release a 200-300$ GPU with the same performance as a 6800/XT and crush the mid range market. But I doubt it would happen. A GPU that poweful would end up being in 400-500$ range.
@@antattackBAM Xbox series X runs cod at 1440p 120fps high settings. That’s better than my $1000 build…
I like both consoles and pcs. I enjoy that consoles are almost purely gaming devices while pcs are able to do a ton more, and it’s just fun to mess with them. I tend to play a lot of strategy games, RTS, 4X and management games on PC while I like RPGs on console. I like it all lol.

This was a fun video to watch. You guys had fun doing this project haha.
As much as I love PC's, for gaming on a budget there is no way I could recommend PC gaming. The new generation of consoles are fantastic value and with croasplay becoming more available I don't really see any reason to get a PC unless you have a pretty large budget.
Yeah but then you are stuck with gaming on a controller all the time 😭. Why would anyone want that?! The only games I like using a controller for are racing and fighting games. Otherwise naaaa
Even if you don't have a large library yet PC remains more cost effective over time. Consoles are still better for hassle free play and gamepass is making a dent in the cost effectiveness argument.
PC's biggest strength always has been and always will remain flexibility.
I just wish games locked to pc came to console, like squad and escape from tarkov
@Arnab If you don't play online and you buy your games used or get the discs from a friend for free, consoles can actually be alot cheaper. Also, most people don't have $1500 to drop all at once on an average gaming pc. It's alot easier to spend a few hundred $s on a console even if you end up spending more on games down the line. And, if you have physical copies you can sell those games and get some money back.
@Arnab You have to buy games for PC also. Unless you are pirating but limitations come with that. Right now building an "okay" gaming pc is going to cost 3x as much as a console. With the various game passes available on Xbox you could have access to a rather large library for maybe $30 a month. You could even buy a new $60 game every month for a year and still have spent 100's less than the PC's initial build cost.
I'm a PC gamer but if I didn't already have a PC and was on a budget I'd definitely buy an Xbox instead.
7:52 It has 12 virtual RAM slots for the option of downloading additional RAM.
Yeah it’s crazy right.
This is gold!
This makes me miss the olden 'scrapyard wars' days
In all fairness if they tried that right now everyone would lose because they couldn't get a decently priced GPU that was in stock.
@@tkirchmann plus the pandemic
@@tkirchmann ikr rip scalpers what couldve gone worse - and miners too. All hail gpu stonks
But scrapyard 8 was like what? Only one year ago?
So and now dear linus you can add the costs for Xbox gold or psn so you're able to access the internet and play with other people and friends and the premium price on console games and accessors over a lifespan of approximately 7 years and then build the pc with that budget again and it's more a apples to apples comparison except the optimization of the games for consoles are only need to be tinned with one hw Config instead of millions of possible hardware configs.
I’m actually really surprised the pc held up as well as it did as having owned a 1070 since launch I thought it was gonna be really one sided in Xbox’s favour but surprisingly not so much
They played all the right games. They should run control with rt support on both and you will see the pc dip to 15fps

I'm extremely happy with my Series X. I think it's a great amount of performance for the price. I know you can make a PC with better performance, but the Xbox does it in a nicely optimized package
...until you want to do literally anything except play xbox games and apps.
@@manitoba-op4jxwho expects a game console to do anything other than play games/streaming apps lmao
If they would somehow integrate mods in to more games than just Bethesda titles, I'd have been more inclined to stay a console lifer
What I took away from this video being: That the Xbox Series X is a really good price
Hence why the comments here are from PC only loyalists who are being petty.
The next gen consoles are great value for money for accessible gaming or anyone who just prefers console/couch/the ecosystem
@@11202 It really is and so is the PS5. I won't be buying one but damn i'd be lying if I said it was bad, especially if you will play with no online and just gamepass.
@@JT-qj2lj yeah switching to PC myself this time, but the new consoles crush PCs so badly price to performance
@@twosad agreed. In the next 4 years PC will probably retake crown for price to performance (western digital already sells nvme m.2 ssds for $105 and that’s a tb of storage). GPU’s like the 30-50 series will hopefully be great for their price in a few years. Consoles will still be best for everyday consumers and ease of use.
Loss leader maybe? Selling at less than cost/cost/or marginal profit. In order to make money out of games and services?
Kind of like how Sony did with the PS3.

“From Ali Express” yeah we’re done here.
What's wrong with it?
@@mrsarcasm4874 they’re known for having cheap and bad products for sale. That’s from what I heard.
I do understand you, though. Aliexpress is not the safest of sites and imo these budget builds are stupid if all you do is gaming. PCs and consoles are different machines that do different things. No point comparing them, and you might as well drop a few hundred extra on a good pc so you get to diy it and do loads of shit like modding or streaming

The Thing is the Xbox is Brand new with WiFi and Bluetooth 😅 If you would do Brand new parts with a max Budget of 500 it would be a GTX 1050 Back then. Now maybe a 2060

@The Mexican Dude The controllers are Bluetooth... How does it not support it?
@@themexicandude269 ah okay thx. Then maybe only wifi is competitiv
In my opinion the way you could justify the PC higher price would be that you need a pc any way. You were going to buy one whether it was set up for HD gaming or not. So like add the cost of a decent home pc to that Xbox budget or subtract it from your gaming PC total.
Hey, I recognize that case. That's what I used in my first build. 😁Was quite the ordeal to work with, but it did the job.

With current prices, makes a lot of sense to throw an rx 6600 in this kind of build since it's going for roughly $200
That probably still won't beat the Xbox lol
Also, they're pretty comparable cards so that won't even boost performance much if at all.
@@Ibrahimarm could get 2 free games along with the benefit of a new card instead of used, makes much more sense than an old 1070
@@MrLordrex1 What do you mean 2 free games? Also, older cards support more games, generally.
I got a 5600 xt with a flashed vbios from factory and it handles 4k 60 reasonably well, a 6600 would probably start getting close to matching the Xbox's 4k 120 speed
@264bpm They already crashed. The prices went back up to regular levels a while ago... The reason prices crashed in the first place was people bailing out of mining, which isn't really going to happen a 2nd time since a ton of people already left. Only the diehards are still at it, and they'll never ditch before going broke.
GREAT idea for a comparison video! Thank you, really enjoyed this!
I feel like that cooler is just there to be a "whacky" Chinese PC part and has nothing to do with savings. A Hyper 212 Evo is about the same price.
also the ssd. A brand new 500gb crucial ssd is like 40 dollars
212 Evo wouldn't have been compatible with the original Xeon CPU so the chinese cooler would have been the only option.

I saw this comment and Roll1D2's post???
:D man i LOVE this Intro ^^
Ah, another man of culture I see.
I think its time for a cup of tea.
The fact that he had to use second-hand and refurbished products should be a clear indication of how good value are present gen consoles.
There was a time when it was actually SO hard to get an XBox 360 controller in pink. I think I even had this one haha.
I guess I haven’t confirmed it for myself since I’m not invested into the consoles much anymore, but don’t companies typically sell their consoles for virtually no profit and make up for it with games and exclusives? PC on the other hand, every part of it has to include profit for the manufacturers and intermediaries. Not to mention trade-offs of not having a pc and long term costs of consoles such has lack of upgradability and paying for features like Xbox live. I would love to see a truly in-depth comparison vs just a surface level side-by-side.
This is the comment I was looking for. Surprised this doesn't have more likes?
yeah ur right
It's a computer and a console, not a car.
ya literally your a slave to the company with console Like on Pc if a game is exclusive to one engine you have options to all engines on pc so you can get the game no matter what. Plus if we add up to play online $60 a year plus on average 7 years till next console that's an extra $420 your spending in those 7 years so that pc would of payed off and you could still upgrade for cheaper then that. So Pc always ends up paying for itself in the end.
You should also factor in that it is a custom design but at extremely high volume. Every piece you produce more will cost you less per console. I would actually assume that they make a profit from selling alone.
Linus: A 1070 for $200.

Console companies will always take a loss on the hardware, then earn it back from game purchases & online.
to be grammatically correct: The console companies are not taking a single cent hit on the hardware. The PC parts companies and all the middlemen just got really disgusting markups. Sheeple will pay whatever is asked of them these days.... even if they have to make a loan...
@@ThatGoat was gonna say the same exact thing, companies have literal money scientists (financial analysts) that insure that every single expenditure that their company has is dirt cheap, and will yield a profit no matter how expensive a component is, and how cheap its sold. Not to mention that bigger companies have leveraging power, they buy so much of theese electronic components that they can essentially dictate the price they buy it at, a small purchaser is no big loss, so we buy at whatever the market tells us, microsoft however, if theyre buying billions of dollars of merchandise, can choose any cmpany they want to purchase from, and literallg any company will except the mahority of their terms.

Can u buy games at heavy discounts no? , console sell u games at bs price for longer while because of competition in pc market , steam, epic store etc they give out lots of free games or simply cant beat steam heavy discount they give u twice a year, i got so many good aaa games released anywhere from 1 year before to 5 years between $5 to $20, and not to mention PC is the proper way to play fps games, so many esports aren’t even present on console due to that reason
@@drinkwoter There is currently a sale on Xbox with up to 75% off games plus there are regularly flash 90% sales. How do you not know this? Sounds like a heavy discount to me. If you want to be dismissive of gamepass, that's fine but the total price of a Series X and gamepass subscription beats the price of a decent gaming PC capable of Raytracing anyway. I own both so have no skin in the game. If you want a gaming platform with year round deep sales of thousands of games, get a Switch. Literally a new sale every week 🤷
If there is one thing to consider, it's that nobody has been able to jailbreak an Xbox from Xbox one till now. That's a dealbreaker for many.

Now you should show what it would take to get this thing on par with an Xbox series X at 120fps. While still keeping the budget low of course. Because that’s the kind of system that I’m trying to build right now and I’m a little lost and over three times the cost PC part picker

Pretty sure they're scripted that way given how click batey the titles and thumbnails are
The majority do, take yesterday's video for example - that one went according to plan. I don't think they skript mistakes in (mostly... I remember more than a few instances of the writer giving Linus incomplete information) but they are well aware that putting any mistakes in the final video actually makes for a more compelling and fun experience and thus, more views.

Kind of disappointed in them I expected them to do better
Just find used components, Purposely buying rubbish just because it's new is crazy. You can pick up coolers for $5 and Xbox controllers, there no need to spend $40 lmao..
I would find a used system, 7700k with a good z270 board, 16gb DDR4 and a 8gb 1070ti make some eb offers $500-600
Plus You can check out the nexus graphical-performance analysis of the consoles, this nonsense about consoles running ultra. These comparisons are incorrect. The PS5 runs mostly equivalent to low, ultra low PC preset, with some medium settings like textures. In dirt 5 dynamic reflections are clearly turned off, as PC on ultra low is clearly ahead
4060 gpu in 2022 will be the console killer
$130 for a bidding and broken CPU. Doesn't sound like a "used buy it now" to me.

7:15 - Linus flexing on us configuring his BIOS on an 8K screen.
Exactly! 🤣🤣🤣
Linus you can add a custom resolution with the Nvidia Desktop where you can add 120hz and increase the refresh rate if you TV supports it
My rule of thumb for decent mid range gaming rig is: whatever the best console's current price is > double it and build a PC for around that budget that is if you're building new.
It'll be more expensive, but also more powerful, plus you have the option to emulate any old games. Games on PC usually are cheaper and you get phat sales.
Also you can also sail the seven seas.
Remember in the old days people do the “150 league of legend machine.” Run the currency exchange, 20 US dollars. And a solid 30 FPS.

you know the perfect RUclips video length
As a Linux developer, I've spent my life trying to eke better frame rates out of 'stunningly' under-powered PC hardware. In the UK, in general people are ripped off for PC components and cannot put together the sorts of outstanding PC you can make in the USA (for a reasonable price) unless you spend eye watering amounts of money. To me, this is the REAL tech tips - i.e. being able to put together some kit you have have real fun using without breaking the bank. I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable of your videos I've seen because mortals can afford it!
Linus didn't bother to factor in the price of paying to play online.
If you consider the lifespan of the Xbox One, which was 7yrs, and it costs $60 per year to play online, 7x60=420 so now we add that 420+500=920.
For $920 you can absolutely buy all brand new parts, and get a PC that is far better graphically and FPS wise than either of the current consoles.

I want to see y’all put something together that is the “exact” performance of an Xbox Series X, and do it as cheap as possible, while still using reputable brands. (Not trying to match price, just performance, but, of course, as cheap as possible.)
But janky hardware is soooo cool! The risk, the suspense!
You can't because Microsoft and Sony is both taking a loss on the console's, in order to get more players over on their systems.
@@Orcawhale1 did you even read what he said?
Basically a 3700X with a RX 6800, PCIE 4 NVME drive and 16gb ram and you have a Xbox Series X, albeit without quick resume and the hardware decompressor. The 6800 only has 8CUs more so is comparable when you consider the Xbox console optimisation that's to come. Still significantly more expensive than the Xbox
@@IchibanKasuga1 Yeah i did.
"just performance, but, of course, as cheap as possible"
So clearly price is a factor.
back in the day i built a decent system for 500. watercooled 3770k, 16gb of ram, 1tb hdd and 128gb ssd with a titan X Maxwell for 500 canadian. it was doable, just had to be patient with finding deals. i've found the best deals were from people leaving country soon and just didnt care how much they got, any money was better than no money. i got the base system for 300 and gpu for 200
fr my 1060 is the same price i payed for it when the 10 series was top of the line and it hasnt dropped in price at all so im stuck with the same GPU cus why upgrade if your GPU is literally 10$ more expensive then when you payed for it lmao
dont forget about the 60 dollars-120 a year of the live sub

Pretty impressive how consoles have that performance at that price
On principle, consoles are sold at a loss, with revenue from exclusives making thay back until the company turns a profit.
still no, of course a 500 dollar console dominates a 500 dollar pc, even at a 200 dollar loss, the 700 dollar console absolutley dominates a 700 dollar gaming pc@@blingwraith3982

We also need to keep in mind that the old hardware in the office would probably not be able to run the newer games at the same speed it can now. These are first generation games mostly
yeah i noticed the deeper blacks when you first switched to the xbox version and i was like wait i think it looks better on the xbox but then i rewound and was like well no its not it just looks like deeper color or maybe vibrancy so i wonder if you went into the nvidia control panel and turned up the digital color vibrancy color if it would look better than the deep darks of the xbox one i usally turn it up to 80% when im interested in picture quality im glad you pointed that out because not everyone would realize that if you didnt mention it

What is the screen you are using?
"we built a PC that's better than the series X for the same price!"
*buys used, nasty, old parts, and it's still worse'
80 bucks extra and no equivalent ssd on top of not working as nicely (with an upgraded cpu)... plus not even capable of 120hrz... i mean pc wins in a lot of ways but bang for buck and simplicity it does not win
with the difference that it isn't the same price, it is cheaper. Real price to 'play' on console is hardware + services... and 7 years of online services doubles the price of the hardware.
A console is a dedicated gaming device; you'll still need something else (in most cases, a computer) to do your taxes on. Everyone needs some form of computer for work/school/general living anyway, so that should be considered in the system cost as well. We should consider home electronics as an ecosystem in order to see what configuration and combination of options gives the best value to summarily be able to do everything you need to do in your life.
What *_is_* a dedicated gaming device in PC-centric ecosystems is the discrete Graphics Card, not the whole PC. So we should instead compare the gaming and general-use performance of a 500$ office PC + 500$ console combo VS 500$ upgradeable PC with 500$ graphics card combo; *_then_* it'll be a fair comparison.
You buy a 500$ console specifically for gaming, like you buy a 500$ GPU specifically for gaming; those are the two dedicated gaming purchases that are comparable here.
The rest of the PC is not very relevant in this comparison because most people are going to have some sort of computer anyway; so that computer might as well be a desktop PC if they're smart about their life choices and plan out their home electronics ecosystem in advance.
You forgot the missing features and parts like the Blu-ray drive 🤷🏻♂️
@@robertneumann281 in 2021, even M-Disc is a more relevant format than Blu-Ray. Most people who have a significant collection of video on blu-ray also have the files saved digitally on their PC. They then usually stream that stuff from their pc to their TV instead of reading from the disk because that's still faster and more convenient than switching disks. It's also good to keep an off-site backup of your archival solution in case your house burns down or something.
😂😂😂 You know the LTTStoredotcom mentions are getting out of hand when they sneak one into the BSOD gag almost no one paid attention to at 3:47
Wow that was gangster
I noticed you my friend...
With the prices of graphics cards at the moment I'm still rocking with my GTX1070 on 1080p high and she is killing it
What if you wanted to build something to be an entertainment unit. Can display well on a lg c9 TV, can have movie and TV audio played through the theater system as well as the high rez audio files but also runs 20-30 feet away to a high rez high refresh display for playing those fast pace games with friends.
Good luck with that, windows seems to despise large monitors and TV’s and often looks like ass on them for some reason.
Linus - "were building a gaming rig for 500$ to beat the consoles!"
Me - "not in this economy you're not 😂"
not even a well framed comparison to begin with when the console manufacturers don't pay the same prices we would. and it's never been about being equal value to consoles. It's about being far more ahead on the technology curve. PC has been enjoying the loading speeds of SSDs for almost a decade, meanwhile Playstation and Xbox marketing wants you to think they never existed till now.
@@VoodooV1 also they compensate the price on the games they purchase which are often way more expensive on consoles then on PC
@@VoodooV1 Not to mention proper multithreading lol. Thank god Consoles finally caught up in thread count, because it was annoying how many games were single threaded.
Factor in the recent price hike of Xbox live and in just 3 months suddenly your shiny xbox cost more than that pc too.

I think buying a used vostros or thinkpad or other old school pc for $100, then adding gpu/ram/ssd could keep you way under 500 and give you a great experience
5:41 the kingston NV2 1TB m.2 is somewhere around $35, or is that not available in north america?
Hard to beat the deal of current consoles, you get a lot of machine for your money and the feel of the controller and easy setup are all big benefits.
PC being multi use though and also the ability to start cheap and gradually upgrade down the line should be counted in the plus though.
I think it is easier for the console manufacturer because they buy much more of the same components. So they get better prices and can sell it cheaper...as for PCs you got so many different components and building possibilities. It is just a different sales modell. If you had just one PC produced in mass for several years until the next modell is rleased i think you could get it for the same price.
@@TUBEDUKE87 Yeah economy of scale and all that. That's one reason the Raspberry Pi is so cheap, made in bulk to a single spec with soldered components and not lots of different models assembled out of a variety of CPU, GPU and RAM options or case options.
Do one model or even only a few models and you can really simplify your production line and cut costs.
The cost of upgrading to a next gen console later down the road is by far cheaper than constantly upgrading a PC and the lifespan of a console is way better and the console can handle next gen games very well. The Xbox series s and x was literally built to last another 7 more years of gaming down the road on every game compatible with it with ray tracing capabilities. Another plus is that both Xbox series s and x can run Unreal Engine 5 with no crashes and no fps drops. Great console for Unreal Engine 5 built games in the future. I hate to say it, but Xbox is becoming more capable and more affordable than PC with ever be. I have a PC myself and honestly enjoy the console more especially with the 4k 120hz on a 4k tv. Every game you play on the Xbox feels and looks better and will get even better in the future.
@@StormRaid417 This is all laughable and just wrong. Pcs will last you much longer than consoles decades if you take care of them. And you really only have to upgrade parts every couple of years it’s like a car you have to upkeep it. Consoles you don’t because they are just plastic boxes inferior in every way
you know you can use a controller with your computer right? people just use kb+mouse because they're usually better

I mean, there are tradeoffs. Xbox cost $120 per year to connect to the internet. That's why they literally sell the Xbox at a loss. PC costs $0/yr for internet. There are game subscription services on both too if people are into that.
Considering it is pretty hard to get a series x anyway I think they should revisit this in a few months when the console/ gpu craze has settled down
@@bengerber4542 they backed out off 120$ a year, its pretty easy to get series x in europe , got a used one for 500$ 2 days ago, but i guess its totally diffrent in usa
the other thing that people always forget is that when you buy a gaming pc, you're buying more than just a machine to play games on
if you killed a large portion of the OS and by doing so reduce background operations could we use that to dedicate resources?
