Let's Build a £120 | $150 Budget Gaming PC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 авг 2018
- It seems like a long time since we put together a budget gaming PC build from start to finish, so today I've done just that. It's not the best value for money system I've ever built, but after finding some decent individual deals on used parts, I just had to see what they could do. This is the £120 | £ PC.
Main Specs:
i5 750 Quad Core
8GB DDR3 Memory
HD 7870 VTX Radeon GPU
Thanks for watching :)

U should build pcs and resell them. Alot of people like me looking for budget pcs under 200 that can run games. I would definitely buy this if ur were selling.
You can also make it a series of buildig and selling budget pcs. With ur large audience it would gaurantee content and sales, making you and ur subs happy.
Jamel Nemdil this is a great idea. pls get more likes so he read it !!!!
The vid is 3 weeks old he will never see this
Jamel Nemdil well thats not impossible tho
I just commented on his latest vud go like that one
Jamel Nemdil lets do this !!
better graphics than a 3000$ macbook pro
Yeah but a macbook is portable and has a monitor

Quick correction for the description it's an i5 750 instead of an i7 750 :)
Wow much smarts
lmao he fixed it now
The i7 870 would have performed a bit better in most of the games he tested.
@@bdhale34 for the 1156 socket you can use xeons without any modification. The x3430 is 4 core 4 thread ($15) and the x3440 is 4 core 8 thread ($22). Anything higher that the x3440 is just a higher clock speed (x3450, x3470 etc). Also the xeons overclock better. I'd rather my brother use a high clock speed xeon (he cant overclock) than the i7 860 he has now.
depends on the motherboard though, but if your 1156 mobo supports xeon processors, go for xeon x3470

32gb is not gonna cut it, I tried 40gb and it was barely enough to do a Win 10 system update. I had to run disk cleaner right away to free up the old windows installation. I would recommend setting a minimal page file and disabling hibernation to save some space.
Ya, I'd say bare minimum 64GB.
I agree 32GB is very small, I'd say 64GB's for an OS drive at the very least.
Yup, no one should use less than a 64gb SSD because of, OS bloat, OS updates, very heavy drive ware, programs that require OS drive installation, lower drive performance, and a 120gb is better and gets rid of these problems at a insignificantly higher cost, Buying less than a 64gb SSD makes no sense for any reason on a Windows 64 bit install.
Yeap 120GB is a more comfortable amount, although it can fill up quick. I went from a 120GB to a 480GB SSD and the extra space is very nice.
Or you can just use SSHD

This is actually really impressive, I never thought these kinds of outdated specs could run modern games relatively well. I had an outdated system couple of years back and those specs technically were better than these but turns out they weren't just configured properly and I had thought I needed a really powerful pc to run modern titles decently. How wrong I was, but watching your channel really helped me understand pc components and their compatibility a lot better and at this point in time I build my own pc's and help others aswell, as the matter of fact I'm building my cousin a gaming pc in a couple of weeks. I have already planned out a system for his budget and I'm just waiting for parts to arrive so I can build it. Anyway, thanks for all the knowledge you share with us, at least for me, it has helped a ton.
I never saw this tutorial before. So simple but explaining in the same time. This channel is gold.
Your videos are excellent and I'm envious of how you get to build so many systems! I used to own my own business for 20+ years until I retired and closed the business. It was fun building, repairing, and upgrading machines! Thank you for your videos!
*Never use a 32gb SSD for Windows.* There is not enough room for programs that require installation on the OS drive and OS bloat. An over loaded OS drive can break windows updates. Over loaded SSD's run slower and die quicker. 64gb is the minimum and even that's really too little to make sense because of cost difference.
112gb is the bare minimum for a OS ssd in my opinion 120 or higher nothing less
Having a HDD only helps to an extent because things like antivirus, game dependencies(DirectX ext.), and chrome *require OS drive installation.* Just Windows and user files take up 25gb om my SSD. Add required OS disk installs and its more than 32gb Plus you need room for windows updates on your OS drive. A 32gb is not feasible with 64 bit Windows, especially on a gaming PC, and a 64gb is not really sensible because of cost. Only 120gb or bigger makes sense but if you can't afford 64gb or bigger you should not be buying an SSD any way.
yes, even 64gb are are not enough for the os. You need some free space in any cheap ssd in order to sustain its speeds.
Install Ubuntu
32GB ??? I worry bout space on my 120 SSD lol
GODD
I thought im only one watching now lol
Really like your channel, ive been an avid gamer for most of my life (25 now) and have only recently joined the pc master race, your content is great, informative and down to earth. Great job 👍🏻
i love ur channel because you are the only who makes videos about more cheap PC and budget gaming and im learning a lot from your videos
Can it run MS paint?
To demanding
Rip
Na it bottlenecks
Oof
no dude, windows 98 would never run it, dos is reccomended but expect only maybe 3fps with frequent stutter
kingston has a 240gb ssd on amazon for $26.99
This is the kind of content I love seeing on the channel. Examples of underdog hardware playing somewhat modern games with no issue.
I genuinely love your content and it has helped me out so much, I truly cannot thank you enough for producing these videos. Keep them up :)
if youre going to go for an 1156 build, the x3440 xeons are about $12 usd and are quad cores with hyper threading and are binned a lot better than the non xeon cpus
They used to be $12. Cheapest I could find on aliexpress was $22. Also the x3430 is now $15. Cheaper to buy the i5 in this video.
It's also harder to find these Xeon socket motherboards for cheap
on ebay the 3440s are $ 14 with free shipping and the 3430 is still $9 and they slot into any 1156 motherboard
@@lolfungreg6964 nope you can use a standard 1156 motherboard with the xeons, no modification. They aren't too expensive. If they're really overpriced in your country, try aliexpress. A P55 1156 motherboard (P55 you can overclock and also some H55 boards) for around $60 is a pretty good deal for most rural countries. I know Russia likes them haha. You can also get the xeons on aliexpress.
Is h55m compatible to x3430/x345p?
Thank you finally someone that helps us build with a listttt thankkksssss
I feel so relaxed watching your videos.
This build were the reason I started watching your videos. Nice build and video
Hooked up my brother with parts I previously owned : an i5 750 like yours, but with an R9 280X (=Radeon HD 7970): dream pairing ;) will serve him some more I hope!
wish i was your brother :(
Love this step by step pc building videos even tho i know to build a pc...they are satisfying,hope to see more..
Same here
Same
old vid ik but i actually love this guys vids hes so pure and the same as me he ticks all of my boxes watching youtube been watching for years bro keep it up x
I love your content and your accent ❤️ what I truly enjoy is the realistic low - mid budget PCs, like for real, there are alot of people out there that dont knoe much about computer, they just want to turn it on and play competitive games
i love it when u talk,lovely accent bro!!
ps.ima sub u now
Love the vids keep up the good work
Do more budget like this! I really like seeing RUclipsr goes out of the mainstream PC build and went to this route.
A lovely little build here mate, good to see what you can get when your sniffing out them sweet deals!
Finger: clicks
Eyes: looks at title
Brain:WWWHHHAAAATTTTT???

That computer holds up very well for only 150$! Right now I am putting together components for a budget build rocking a Xeon x3450 and a hd5770, so it will be interesting to see how that compares to this build. Great video!
I'd imagine some form of "GPU bottleneck" as most would say, but great performance nonetheless. Can't wait to hear more about your xeon build!
@@ltsjoke5443 That is what I am worried about as well, but I already have the GPU because I am not really using a previous computer I built (an eMachine Sleeper). But hopefully it won't be too harsh of a limiting factor in the build.
@@sebastianmcgregor465 i'd say both will be bottleneck here and there depending on the game and circumstances, it should be fine for ps3/xbox 360 games era though.
That HD 5770 will bottleneck long before the CPU does. I had an HD 6770 (basically the same thing) paired with a Phenom II X4 965 and the GPU was the limiting factor, going to a 750ti made a huge difference. The Xeon x3450 has 600+ Passmark points on that Phenom too.
The X3450 can also bottleneck a 660 TI with ease. I have it right next to me in my old PC.
Dude this is gonna inspire me to build a pc, if you come out with another one of these 150-250 builds next year I’ll spend my money on a build. Thanks for the great content
Dude your videos are awesome. Much more relatable than most PC enthusiasts channels. Keep it up :)
YES BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
RX 570 bought here with 1,5 years warranty for 100€. Had 5 months use, only for gaming. Mint condition.
Thanks RTX, for making people sell their graphics card cheap!
Also i got the exact same case with tempered glass and three Noctua Redux fans on it. It's an amazing case for the price!
i'm pretty sure it was used for mining and 5 months could have put that gpu near the end of it's life cycle
I don't know, i'm running it on full load normally, at 65 degrees with fans at 55-60% for hours straight. Wouldn't mining GPU's get hotter easier though?
Well if it is at the end of its life cycle i got the warranty checked out. I checked the bios aswell when i received it, and its the exact same version as gigabyte website.
Came with original box, invoice, cd's, monitor plugs on the slots, plastic bag and manual All good condition aswell so i hope it was not used for mining :D
For a 2nd answer, i'm typing this with Monster Hunter: World in the background while playing.
66º peak, 1200 core clock and 1750 memory. Downclocked it by 44mhz from stock and undervolted it from 1.150mV to 0.900mV and it's using a whopping 77-88 watts (150w TDP), stable in a few games i've tried such as DOOM, MH:W, Hunt Showdown, For Honor, Yakuza 0 for long sessions.
I've never gotten a mining GPU before nor seen one benchmarked or used in gaming.
What can you tell me with those statistics i provided you. Is it mining GPU?
It's a Gigabyte RX 570 (Non-Aorus) version.
@@mislav2002 Mining stresses GPU less than gaming, if setup correctly. My 1080 ran cooler while mining than gaming.
@@hadis5160 i don't know anybody that games 24/7 and you are only justifying your actions by not even thinking about the constant strain the card endures , an average gamer plays max 3-4 hours a day and that puts it at the max pre determined operating temperature of lets say 70 degrees celsius , on the other hand the so called cautious miner limits it to 50 degrees celsius max while operating , and bumps the fan speed , i would much rather buy a card that has been used for 3-4 hours a day at 70c than 24/7 at 50c , why? because capacitors have an estimated life time and your temperature reduction doesn't even nearly justify the 24/7 aspect , do your math and you will find out that those few degrees you lower in the grand scheme of things don't do much
I just built a machine that was basically the same as this one, from parts that i had lying around. Was very impressed by it. Gave it to a friend of mine that has never had a gaming pc.
Glad to see budget builds including an SSD! Whenever building a PC for friends or Family (even started building pc for ‘clients’) if the budget allows it get an SSD! Great value pc for sure though and a great video
Can you benchmark GTA V? And dying light? Great build by the way. Kudos!
Got the build bug myself, aided by a LGA1155 motherboard in a bundle of stuff - that worked after a little pin surgery.
Add £60 i7-3770 (non-K, but the board doesn't support K OC anyway), and then moved a GPU category higher than I'd originally planned, with a £174 GTX 1060 6GB - I'd been sliding towards a 3GB from a GTX970, but took an ebay punt (sniped a £175 bid in with a few seconds to go)…
Not exactly a budget system. but a fair bit of system for the budget, as it will re-use the 8GB kit from my AMD - and the AMD will get back the 4GB kit it had originally (it WAS going to be 12GB, but the innermost slot was fouled by the heatsink).
My real quandary, do I give the new build the Coolermaster Elite 330 case from the old, and move old faithful into the cheapest case I can find, or do I give the new build a new case, thinking of going PSU at the bottom... PSU and drives are going to the new build, so if I re-use the old case, I just gut the motherboard out of it, and the alternative is the motherboard stays and everything else gets swapped, Hmm, actually I might use a different DVD-R.
As it stands, it has a Samsung SH-S233L as the main drive and a Liteon IDE SHW-1635S as a scanning drive (already got an IDE PCI-E card to add that to the new board). As an alternative, my bundle also included several more IDE DVD-Rs, a Sony/Optiarc AW-G170A (that has scanning capability) and a LG GSA-H55N that handled my somewhat degraded test disc as if there was nothing wrong with it. The Optiarc cannot do a TA scan, which the Liteon can - of course, my holy grail would be a Philips/Benq which had possibly the best scanning capability other than Plextor
£60 for i7 3770K 👀 BARGAIN 👍
Non-K, and actually £62 inc paypal fees - insisted on doing goods and services rather than friends and family
And now I splashed £50 on a pair of 8GB Hyperx from Cex - saw them in store, and since it was a pair of pretty good name ones - they don't differentiate on price, I thought it was worth a shot
Thank you for a great video. This has inspired me to try my hand a making my own. I have gone for the same build apart from the graphics card.
i wanted to buil a guest pc for ages and never rly know how to get started and this vid just showed it so easy thanks :D
I think you should focus on budget PCs. Great video
I built my first PC in the same case a couple weeks ago!
You made a good choice with the cooler fan, I've been using Artic Freezer coolers for years and never had any problems with high temperature just keep your pc's clean and maintained, got them mounted on my three rigs. They are cheap and they do the job nicely as they are supose to.
I freaking love your videos man. I'll be building my first p.c in about a week.
You're a Legend
The build guide in my opinion was better than the one Linus did. You made it simpler for me
That was a very good PC build tutorial. Nice video.
What a win! Great video mate, what a pretty build for $150!
I would like to see any of these games tested on this budget system please:
1) Max Payne 3
2) Project Cars 2
3) Doom
4) The Witcher 3
5) Wolfenstein The New Order
6) Star Wars Battlefront 2
7) WRC 7
8) Batman Arkham City
9) Crysis 3
10) Far Cry 5
Arkham city would run realy solid
Witcher would melt it
second gen i3/i5 would be better in my opinion because the dell optiplexes are really cheap and offer much better upgrade path/future proofing
Im pairing gtx 1050 with i5 2500 (lga1155) run smoother than x3470 (lga 1156) first gen. But waiting time for boot and shutdown way faster x3470.
Unique Stuff id You just need to overclock the Xeon to 3.8 GHz or more at BSCLK of 200+ and there wouldn't be a noticeable difference. Cheers!
@@BlazeElPadrino662 cant go more than (BCLK) 200 x 20 (4ghz). It will 100'C temp load. Even with big air cooler thermal take deep frio. The safest zone @3.5 - 3.8 ghz 175 x 20.
@RavenPrecept well the psus are always some prepriatory bullshut with Dell as well as the motherboard form factor and where the Stand offs go. You can get adapers but I would advise getting a Lenovo or Acer pre built if it's the same price
Love the channel. Been subscribed for a long time. Very similar to the budget build i put together for my gf. Got a dell precision t1500 (i5 750, dell mobo, 500gb hdd and 8gb ddr3) for free cause it was gonna be donated at the thrift store. Picked up a like new 960ftw 2gb for $70, new masterlite 3.1 for $40, a new evga 500w psu for ~$40 and a corsair h55 i had sitting around. Awesome build for $150. Keep the great content!
Great Video on this new (old) build my sort of budget built, like the fact the old i5 750 cpu held up and with my GTX 1050ti ( less power required too ) the match (buttery smooth ) would be even better...on match up .So thanks for detailed vid love the coolermaster lite case classy !!!
Im getting a phenom ii x4 980 pc tonight for $15!!!!!
But can it run Textpad?
The x4 will bottleneck the 980 but for 15$ its amazing
@@jasonalpha7136 ? there is no gpu its just a phenom ii x4 980
Thats not bad. I have a phenom II X4 965 BE and overclocked it to 3.7GHz. It will bottleneck at CPU-intensive games like AC Black Flag and AC Unity though. Get an i5-2500k when you can, that beast just refuses to die and overclocked to a mild 4.4GHz can match Haswell and even some 7th gen i5 performance. With liquid cooling and a good board, you can go 4.8+ too!
My 2500k is paired with a 7770 and my 965BE is now paired with a 7750 for 720p gaming at ultra/high.
The 965 was more power hungry with its 140 watt tdp, I own one and it rarely got used.
And in italy you cannot find 8gb ddr3 for less than 50 euros.
And you're not good with pharah...
Buy ecc memory ddr 3. Cheaper than non ecc.
Unique Stuff id not every motherboard is compatible with ecc.
This may sound stupid but try a British website like ebay.co.uk
It's England everything costs nothing except someware to live .
You can buy cars here for less than that pc . Or you could rent a room for a weak.
Very happy to have found your channel.
yassssssss the builds are back! excellent channel.
Yay something I can afford
Did you build it
@@WHATaOG Joe did
@LOWFRAMEBLOX joe mama
If you got a H55 or a P55 Motherboard, do a overclock on it, this CPU has much more performance in OC ( 3,6 GHz +). You can buy a Xeon X3430, because them are cheaper and have 4 cores, or pay a litlle more on a Xeon X3440!
OCed mine back in the day, could not break the 450pts on cinebench. Thats quite a performer with a beefier heatsink tho!
I got a Xeon 3470 for $17. 4 cores 8 threads, at 3.6ghz on Cryorig H9 air cooler
@@growtacoma8954 A good deal! :D
@@growtacoma8954 whats your avg. temp with x3470 3.6ghz? Pair with that cryorig
@@KalahiMd im breaking 585 cb @3.85ghz with x3470. Lower than 3770k by 50 cb.
Nicely explained. If I was a novice, this build walkthru would have been all I needed to build a budget computer.. that and $150 lol
I love it! these are the types of builds I do most of the time, 1080p medium/high. I would love to be able to get that GPU for the price you got it for lol.
I bought a Dell Optiplex 9020 for 120bucks, came with a core i5 4570, 4gb ddr3 ram, 500Gb hard drive and a dvd-rw drive. Bought 8gb of additional ram and bought a GTX 1050 for 160 bucks new. It can game everything at high settings 1080p around 60fps. These prebuilt Dell systems are amazing.
thats quite a good pc dude
Uhh they have problems. The prepriatory form factor motherboard and power supply and the fact the case can't be reused. Lenovo tend to have better ones as only their sffs have the prepriatory psus. I would advise against using one of them. If you want anything that needs pcie power connectors you're screwed.
end my suffering The tower is a mini ATX, the psu and motherboard are proprietary but it doesn’t matter, it can run a GTX 1050 or 1050Ti easily. And in case of a tomorrow you can fit in a standard mobo too.
@@endmysuffering8720 My optiplex 990 is a standard micro atx design, i upgraded to a cx450 PSU no problem as well
With my optiplex, the only barrier is the front panel connectors are proprietary, so I cant put the board in any other case. As far as i know, i might be able to use the dell case for another board
X5460 zone
This is awesome, I prefer when people film from an external camera instead of a direct feed. We get to see what you see instead of a direct capture that could stress out the pc. I wish I still had my old systems to mess around with. I'm thinking of building a ryzen system but its around 500-700 for a decent one. I forgot all about going back 1 or 2 generations and seeing whats out there. hell even 3 or 4 generations ago seem to still be able to play games at 720p and 1080p really well even in 2020.
Dude you are a legend people like you inspired me to try this, sold my fist machine a week ago made 50 squids writing this on another that will put up tomorrow there is a third one in a corner :)

Thank you for including the € prices now :)
I definitely paused a philosophical debate video to check this out. God I love PC hardware vids. :) Keep doing what you're doing man! :D I would definitely agree with others about the SSD. 120GB is the bare minimum to have an OS and a couple programs installed on. This way, updates will not be an issue in the future. :)
Would love to see quick follow ups on videos like this where you intend to re-sell on the machine, just to see how much you sold it for, how smooth the sale went etc.
honestly you are my fav youtuber keep it up
On RandomGaminginHD, 'FPS' stands for Feathers Per Seagull.
or freaks per sirkus sirkus is circus but in finnish
Front panel connectors - Only the HDD and power LEDs need the positive/negative to be the right way round, the switches work either way. Because LED stands for Light emitting Diode and diodes need the electricity going the right way to work, switches will work on electricity regardless.
you make brilliant content keep doing what your doing!
Love that case, wish I could find it that cheap!
Amazing video, to me these videos are the best, this is a bang for your buck MONSTER
Like the idea, I have owned a i5-750 in the past. It's a beast if you have over clock options. 2.66 GHz base and 3.2 single core boost. The beast can usually do like 4.0+ GHz on a proper mbo. And be less of a bottleneck. Mine handled a 280x with no issues bit as becoming a limiting factor with 280x crossfire.
Excellent tutorial thank you.
Great build !
