The i3-10100 and Ryzen 5 4500 (despite its rep) is still a great budget option if found at $80 new. The RX 470 and GTX 970 used go for about less than $100, sometimes as low as $75, and this combo coupled with 16 GB of at least 2666MHz RAM can still game at 1080p very respectably in my opinion at a pretry low price compared to what other new options can be. You really don't need to spend much to get a good, mostly new system, with only the GPU being used.
Nicely done system,I feel you could maybe pop a rx6600 or xt in there and still get pretty darn good performance if you’re on a budget since they quit cheap at the moment

Really enjoy these quirky setups. I have some old janky cases sitting around, I'd love to do some sort of sleeper build some day in an old unassuming case.
As a kid back in 2009 I had an acer aspire x3200 as my first pc and I loved it but seeing these predator orange and black gaming pc's on the website I always wanted one :D
1:00 I built a similar sleeper style system and bought a 3.5 inch Bay USB 3.0 front panel that fitted in place the card reader. It was on an old HTPC case so I could then connect it to the front USB 3.0 header on the motherboard.
I bought mine 11 or 12 years I guess and man I've never been sorry..it just works, it's still so quiet you can't tell it's on and never had a problem with it
As some one who has 2 rx 590s its nice too see them get some love, have on paired with an r5 1600x and one with an r7 2700x neither disappoint not as good as my 6700 xt r7 370x set up but more then enough for a 60 hz tv
I actually have the laptop version of this desktop from acer, and it was donated to a a shop that I used to work for to be recycled but I took it home and fixed it instead. I'd be willing to send it to you just for cost of shipping and my time but I live in the US and the laptop weights about as much as one of the stone slabs on your patio.
Nice restoration, and I like the older style cases as well. I like how the i3 10100 is still a decent budget processor! Of course, if it was mine, I'd take full advantage of the 5.25 and 3.5 bays, so I could whack in a DVD drive and plenty of hard drives. In fact, wouldn't this case work with a pair of DVD drives?
Yeah 5.25 would be used by me too, I still use ODD for burning home videos to BluRay & DVD, 1080p videos take up way to much storage space leaving them on the recording device
@@shaneeslick i would also have a Blu-Ray drive but they're much more expensive than DVD drives, also correct me if I'm wrong but Intel 12th gen and newer (I'm planning to build 13th gen) don't support Blu-ray?
@@TheSpotify95 I got my 2 LG 3D BluRay Drives on sale here in Australia a few years ago for only $69AUD down from $99AUD when DL DVD which were $60AUD at the time. I have one for creation in my R9 3900X Editing PC & the other in my Retro Gaming PC as I thought considering it was only $10 difference & that drive dying was the reason for getting a new ODD. I haven't heard that about 13th Gen & not sure why BR wouldn't work with certain CPUs as I thought that would be more to do with OS & Media Player Codecs, but maybe the CPU needs a certain instruction set that has not been included in 13th Gen.

Hope it helps but maybe if you are interested in upgrading you ODD try emailing help from the manufacturers site for the one you like & ask them about 13th Gen Compatibility.
@@TheSpotify95 11th, 12th and 13th gen Intel CPU's cannot playback ULTRA HD Blu Ray movies (there's only like 2 models of 5.25" UHD Blu Ray players anyway). This is because of the DRM UHD Blu Ray uses. It does work with regular movie blu rays and data blu ray discs.
1576 Mhz... What a clock for Polaris! My RX580 can go from 1366 to 1450, draws 190 watts and sits over 80 degrees lol. This RX590 kicks its ass by a lot.
Well, it is built on a 12nm die shrink. Most Polaris based cards use a GPU based on a 14nm process. At AMD's reference clocks, the 590 is set over 200 MHz faster than the 580 regarding both base clocks boost clocks. The 590 does use more power though and generate more heat. However, PowerColor Red Devil cards have pretty good coolers.
I built my Dad a PC (my first build) out of all new parts, bar the GPU, during Covid. He’s basically got the same as the specs in this PC but in a cheap (£35) case with an GTX 1060 6gb. It’s great at playing anything at 1080p 60fps with medium to high settings. My fourth build that I did this year was for my brother, a no expense spared £4000, i7 12700K, 3090 Ti Suprim X, 2x 2TB m.2 etc etc build. Was a different experience to building my Dads 😂
i totally agree with removing motion blur and depth of field if someone wants a blurrier image, switching to 1280x720 or 800x600 or 640x480 could run the game even with iGPU's
Grab an angle grinder and cut out a gap in the bottom of the case? If you really like the case you could adjust it to the graphics card. And many people won't even see the gap.
I always repurpose old Dell or HP cases for my own systems. I like having the "free" DVD drives and card readers. I just drill, cut and modify them (as tastefully as possible) to get better airflow. The Blue Anodized Sapphire RX 590 Nitro was my dream card back in the day. Sadly, I've never actually owned one. Also, I'm a little disappointed you didn't include GPU power in the overlay. To me, that's a very important metric. Thanks for such a refreshing video of still capable older hardware.
That's the one I wanted too! They sold out pretty fast, mostly to miners/scalpers it seems, so I settled for the Sapphire Pulse. Still using it now after dropping an RX 5600 in to replace my 2700X :)
I'm actually still pickin up components to do my first gaming build and the only thing that's not a Match it's the gpu, i've got an rx550 (argentina economy sucks) But i'm pretty happy to know that later on i can upgrade to a better gpu, SO happy to have that 10100f Great video, love your channel dude
You can get USB3 front panels to fit floppy and optical disk bays for about £15 off Amazon, if you ever feel the need. It's how I can still use my 20 year old beige box.
I definitely would've dremeled some small holes or slits on the bottom of the case near the GPU fans and super glued some thin mesh inside the case between the bottom and GPU fans. Then put some small standoffs on the bottom of the case to help it breathe a bit. Either way, solid performance!
This video actually came at a great time because I have a 10100F that I later upgraded to a 10400, and it will be going to my mom with an RX 6600 believe it or not. I thought of getting a B560 board and another kit of DDR4 to pair with the i3 10100F to build a system for my sisters in an old Gateway case I bought on eBay, which was one of the last systems with the Gateway name before Acer discontinued the line.
I have an RX480 that has turned out to still be a solid card, even with more demanding titles. I'm pretty amazed how well these AMD cards have held up.
Serendipity! I just built a retro gaming PC into a Q500 case. Spec is RX570 Sapphire O/C (which I overclocked more), i5 10400F, 16gb 3200mhz DDR4 and a MSi Z490 Carbon EKX (not watercooled). All the parts were bought used at bargain prices (60 quid for the Z490) other than the 10400F which was 100 quid new from Amazon Germany. Running the DDR4 at 3200mhz (well 3290mhzX102.9mhz) really speeds everything up. I saw an uplift of 10% with XMP enabled vs stock. I'd love to see how your i3 and 590 run given faster RAM on a better motherboard.
@@RandomGaminginHD It is genius design: It takes the air from the coldest area of the case, where it gets even cooled by the metal housing when approaching the fan 🙂
I also have a PC case from the DDR2 era, but I don't think I could put anything in it. :D Nice and heavy case maybe I will look into it. Thanks for this inspiring video! :)
I would have put that 80/92 mm fan in the front to create some extra airflow for the GPU and maybe put a 120 mm fan as an intake for the cpu. Going with a four core, eight thread cpu was a good idea, because those pure quad cores are starting to struggle a but.
Something like 15 years ago i looked at some acer predator with friend and we were like i want that. It was different case that i think looks better, would be nice to do build in it.
Never thought a 65$ cpu would be viable for gaming more than 2 years after its launch. Would still recommend an i3 12100f as that would last you much longer. For around 30 more dollars (and 20-30$ for a Motherboard like a h610...those are pricey but worth saving up... Even if it is one more month of wages that you need to get enough spare nickles to throw at it)
I still have my RX 590... in a box, because I upgraded to an RX 6800. The Sapphire Nitro+ SE hits 1560MHz which is a little down on the Red Devil, but as far as I'm aware, the Nitros were the only cards to come with default memory clocks of 2100MHz. The blue colour scheme is unusual and I would be lying if I said the grey design from the RX 580 LE variant wouldn't have been preferable, but it's pleasant enough. I always made sure to undervolt it a bit, though it couldn't take a big reduction at stock clocks.
Hope you're on the mend! Very good video, I really like that you went with the RX 590 for just that extra bit of budget flex. I'm also really impressed how well that I3 performs! What a great setup, overall.
GPU matches the case perfectly🤤😱. That’s the thing missing fr9m modern day cases is that uniqueness as many cases now are muted grey/black and nothing else. If y9 love themed builds older cases are the way to go imo 🥰🤩💪✊👍. The build is still a great budget gamer and will play most game titles just fine.
The case is cool, as for the build: It makes sense if you have part of it lying around, but I think the board could spike the price if you had to make a build from scratch. Personally I'd most likely end up with a 1150 board + Xeon if I'd had to pair it to a 590 (480, 580, 1060... ). The PSU seems a bit on the low side for me since I usually use older higher powered CPU, but in this build it should be fine.
Yeah the 590 is going to beat the 6400 in all games. It also isn't gimped by the 4x pcie bandwidth. The benefits with the 6400 are going to be its size, power draw, age and if you can really make use of them on this card, the few Ray Tracing cores the 6400 has.
although i understand the primary point is to showcase the capability of being able to play the games whatsoever, it would be nice if you used the framerate unlock mod for Elden Ring to show what the maximum average framerate could be in your reviews. it probably would be annoying to deal with the Freesync/Gsync configurations every time you switch capable/incapable gpus
I’ve been daily driving some random no name gaming pc case I found in the trash at work. Have the money to upgrade it but everytime I go to do it I hesitate
I think this is the first time I've actually seen someone use an RX 590. I've got an MSI one and it has a habit of either overheating or just freezing occasionally, but performance wise at 1080p it does the job!
I don't really understand why "budget" builds always save on the CPU cooler. Tower coolers aren't that expensive. You can get pretty decent tower coolers for a couple ten bucks. That's it. If your budget is so tight that you can't afford twenty-or-so bucks for a decent tower cooler, then quite tight it is. But you can buy some other component for that much cheaper to compensate.
A case look that only a mother could love.
only a motherboard could love
I think its pretty nice looking. Might be because i like that early 2010s look
The only thing this case have then most modern cases is the amount USB A ports and maybe 3.5in drive bays
"only a manufacturer could love "
i like it :(
I'm shocked the GPU only reached 60 degrees with being choked of air.
yep, it's almost like he didn't correctly assess how it was gonna go, or maybe it's like fans do the thing they're designed to do if they're in the correct orientation..

I had this pc years ago loved this pc especially the case was cool back in the day haha
That potato scene was too funny
I love how this case is so massive yet chokes the GPU for air at the very bottom :D
The 10100 is an incredible processor for what it is
Serendipity! I just built a retro gaming PC into a Q500 case. Spec is RX570 Sapphire O/C (which I overclocked more), i5 10400F, 16gb 3200mhz DDR4 and a MSi Z490 Carbon EKX (not watercooled). All the parts were bought used at bargain prices (60 quid for the Z490) other than the 10400F which was 100 quid new from Amazon Germany. Running the DDR4 at 3200mhz (well 3290mhzX102.9mhz) really speeds everything up. I saw an uplift of 10% with XMP enabled vs stock. I'd love to see how your i3 and 590 run given faster RAM on a better motherboard.
Niiiiice
I've been waiting for you to upgrade that slumbering giant)))
Thank you very much
I've expected higher GPU temp in this case :D
Great pc on a budget, it can still play all the latest games with decent frames!
Yeah I thought it would overheat for sure haha
@@RandomGaminginHD It is genius design: It takes the air from the coldest area of the case, where it gets even cooled by the metal housing when approaching the fan 🙂
In Cyberpunk you can actually increase the texture resolution. Only 3GB of VRAM were used.
I love how this video involves a mixture of older games and newer games 😊
I also have a PC case from the DDR2 era, but I don't think I could put anything in it. :D Nice and heavy case maybe I will look into it. Thanks for this inspiring video! :)
Such a good channel, as a life long PC user this is like crack to my inquisitive technical brain
RX 590 going strong still inn2024! At least in Warzone kicks ass for the money
I would have put that 80/92 mm fan in the front to create some extra airflow for the GPU and maybe put a 120 mm fan as an intake for the cpu. Going with a four core, eight thread cpu was a good idea, because those pure quad cores are starting to struggle a but.
The cooler is really good on this card, I expected the card to overheat with only that much clearance, lol
Me too haha
I love reusing these old badass looking cases for modern systems.
Same :)
Are you missing the side of the case? With a normal side panel on, you wouldn't see any RGB unless it had a window.
i love your video format, very informative and relaxing to watch. Also you helped me save a bunch on hardware, so thank you
4:09 that rear mounted fan looks like it should be replaced with something larger as to cover all of the mesh area
Yeah it definitely should be
Good job, and a very nice rig to be fair 👍
Love the GPU hardcore choking action going on there
Something like 15 years ago i looked at some acer predator with friend and we were like i want that. It was different case that i think looks better, would be nice to do build in it.
Never thought a 65$ cpu would be viable for gaming more than 2 years after its launch.
Would still recommend an i3 12100f as that would last you much longer. For around 30 more dollars (and 20-30$ for a Motherboard like a h610...those are pricey but worth saving up... Even if it is one more month of wages that you need to get enough spare nickles to throw at it)
I still have my RX 590... in a box, because I upgraded to an RX 6800. The Sapphire Nitro+ SE hits 1560MHz which is a little down on the Red Devil, but as far as I'm aware, the Nitros were the only cards to come with default memory clocks of 2100MHz. The blue colour scheme is unusual and I would be lying if I said the grey design from the RX 580 LE variant wouldn't have been preferable, but it's pleasant enough. I always made sure to undervolt it a bit, though it couldn't take a big reduction at stock clocks.
I run a RX 590 8GB with a Ryzen 3 5600, and it is all cool and the gang
beautiful piece
Ngl that pc case kinda looks like it’s themed from black ops 2
Yeah it does haha
nice ive been thanking of getting the Acer Preaditor Orion
Hope you're on the mend! Very good video, I really like that you went with the RX 590 for just that extra bit of budget flex. I'm also really impressed how well that I3 performs! What a great setup, overall.
GPU matches the case perfectly🤤😱. That’s the thing missing fr9m modern day cases is that uniqueness as many cases now are muted grey/black and nothing else. If y9 love themed builds older cases are the way to go imo 🥰🤩💪✊👍. The build is still a great budget gamer and will play most game titles just fine.
Love budget builds, but I'm not sure I would use a daisy-chained cable to the GPU.
I love all PowerColor GPUs
I love that case, I don't care how much time passes.
Where im at 590s have been getting ignored, I won a 590 for 95 bucks a few days ago.... 580s and 480s (8gb) models were still going for 110+
The case is cool, as for the build: It makes sense if you have part of it lying around, but I think the board could spike the price if you had to make a build from scratch. Personally I'd most likely end up with a 1150 board + Xeon if I'd had to pair it to a 590 (480, 580, 1060... ).
The PSU seems a bit on the low side for me since I usually use older higher powered CPU, but in this build it should be fine.
can't believe potato rescuscitation didnt work. keep it up dude you're such a beast lol
😂 me neither
great redo of that wild looking case!!! Hey...didn't you used to feature a family member on the channel...sister I think?
Yeah she’s been so busy with work but will probably be in more videos soon
@@RandomGaminginHD Cool!!!
Hope you get better soon Steve!
Great video. That case is something else!
Great video,
Could you do a comparison of the 590 with 6400?
It could be quite interesting
Yeah sounds like an interesting comparison!
The 590 is *a lot* faster. It should even beat a 6500xt. It is a bit power hungry though...
Yeah the 590 is going to beat the 6400 in all games. It also isn't gimped by the 4x pcie bandwidth. The benefits with the 6400 are going to be its size, power draw, age and if you can really make use of them on this card, the few Ray Tracing cores the 6400 has.
Nice, I built a similar system for my brother using his old (very old) big blue Alienware case , only difference is I used a GTX970
although i understand the primary point is to showcase the capability of being able to play the games whatsoever, it would be nice if you used the framerate unlock mod for Elden Ring to show what the maximum average framerate could be in your reviews. it probably would be annoying to deal with the Freesync/Gsync configurations every time you switch capable/incapable gpus
6:02 There's mods for fixing that. Check the "High FPS Physics Fix" mod on Nexus for example. Even speeds up loading on SSDs too...
I’ve been daily driving some random no name gaming pc case I found in the trash at work. Have the money to upgrade it but everytime I go to do it I hesitate
the potato defib part had no right to make me audibly exhale
I think this is the first time I've actually seen someone use an RX 590.
I've got an MSI one and it has a habit of either overheating or just freezing occasionally, but performance wise at 1080p it does the job!
I don't really understand why "budget" builds always save on the CPU cooler. Tower coolers aren't that expensive. You can get pretty decent tower coolers for a couple ten bucks. That's it. If your budget is so tight that you can't afford twenty-or-so bucks for a decent tower cooler, then quite tight it is. But you can buy some other component for that much cheaper to compensate.
3:50 i have a smililar case and u drilled holes into the bottom so the card can breath. Works fine. :)
I can't believe the potatoes didn't resuscitate anything :(
