When you installed that cooler did you hear "OVERKILL!" 😂😂😂 I install the Thermalright 5 heatpipe single tower cooler. Even it is overkill on any of the 125w or less CPUs.
I still can't believe my husband won this and I get to enjoy it, thank you Greg! I'm not into tech, but you seem to explain things to where even I can understand so I've subscribed! I've played my older games on it so far with no issues (skyrim, fallout) and plan on playing Baldur's Gate soon :)
Did you see that Jay is going to start doing fix or flop style videos in Cali? I think it’s awesome that you were able to inspire that. I love watching both your content and keep up the amazing work that you do!
Awesome when you can find a good deal on a case like that. They usually go pretty fast. I got an Enermax Grace Mesh case for $35 back when I first put together my build and that was an amazing deal. Still using that case for my main build and I love it.
you are a rockstar in the pc community, thanks for being as giving and as awesome as you are!!!! i'll be a forever fan of yours for the amazing things you do for others! Keep being awesome!
Just keep doing what you are doing Greg, you are doing a great job of informing and entertaining without getting too over the top and "self serving" like some other channels out there in youtube land.
Microcenter used to sell a budget case and power supply for around $30, i got three of them and they have been running for about 5 years. Miss those days.
fractal design focus G is what I recently bought, found it on sale from newegg at $40. little bit older style since it has two bays for optical drives, it's a really good case at that price point.
I live in Winter Haven Florida, About 50 miles from you. I had to use the cheapest parts available last year with a home made water loop. You would get a pretty good kick out of it. Glad to know a tech channel is nearby, We have no pc stores anywhere down here in Florida.
The Thermaltake S100 and the Vetroo M03 are both very good value PC cases going for $65 to $70 on Amazon. I've built in both and they both have well made tempered glass doors.
at my country some shops import from china directly from the factory things like this, you find basic cases for 11$, around 35$ gives you a case with 4 fans
I can't believe that I haven't seen this channel before. I'm following Jayztwocents, Paul's Hardware, Gamers nexus and other tech channels, but just recently got noticed for this one when Jay said that he is going for Fix or Flop like series where he mentioned this channel. Strange that RUclips never sent any suggestions here by itself. The good thing is that I now have hours and hours of good content on my watch list. You are really doing a great job, keep it up. 👍
Years and years ago when Fry's was still a thing they were selling cheapo atx cases for 10 bucks a pop. I bought two. One I used for a media center build for a client, he just needed a computer for watching Netflix and such on his living room TV. The second one kept for myself for the same reason. It ran streaming services for the better part of 15 years until the power button started to stick on it. I finally replaced it with another very budget build a few years ago. I still have the case sitting in the basement should I ever need it again.
Damn. Didn't know you had a discord channel. When I joined it made me wait 10 mins before posting!!! Jusr missed out. Never mind, keep up the brilliant videos Greg. I love the Fix of Flop vidoes and the building ones.
Hey Greg, I normally I don’t leave comments, but I thought I’d let you know that it’s still an honor to be seen in a video of yours in your own discord server and yes that is my Discord tag lmao
Here in Canada they sell Raijintek cases but not this one. Closest I could find is one called the Silenos. It comes white or black and basically has the same interior, but sells for about $100 and comes with an ARGB fan
trying to get Raijintek here in the US is hard. I did a build with a gold Metis Plus ITX case and wanted to do another in silver, but the chassis couldn't be found at a decent price, and there were no vendors offering the brand. Raijintek is basically sold in Europe and Asia.... but in North America, there is a gap. Come on Raijintek, get the North America Market going! WE need you!
I've recently bought the montech X3 case for about 50 bucks and it seems it is the same case with a different front. The montech comes with 6 pre installed RGB fans. Only downside the fans have a molex connector. And the RGB is only rainbow puke. Good thing is the RGB can be turned off. This is a really great case for not too much money
It depends. If you spend more on a high-efficiency power supply, you save money in power bills. Depending on the electricity prices in your area, spending more upfront for a better power supply might make cents.
6:04 That is certainly correct, but have you seen the recent JayzTwoCents vs. Austin Evans budget PC build-off? One power supply chosen was an F tier, the other an E tier, and I actually looked up what the other options would have been at that store location and found only a single promising C tier model with only a handful in stock. The choice for 500-550ish W ATX supplies was pretty abysmal. I mean, the market for smaller supplies has kind of been going down the drain even over here, but it's not quite that bad (yet).
Hey Greg, CoD warzone 2 is only ~50gb on PC. If you install the whole game including the campaign, multiplayer and the Co-op you're looking at 120-ish GB storage usage! :)
Yes, pair the right PSU class for the right build! While I would only buy the good value A-tier PSUs, my hardware is also expensive enough and power demanding enough to actually warrant them. For a Ryzen 5500 and RX5700XT build, that PSU should be alright. I personally would've gone to maybe a better quality 650W Bronze PSU, but the EVGA 500 BR seems fine enough.
Thanks for the great unboxing and nice looking machine! we have more Coming in such as the ponos ultra and the paean c7 - all with great price Performance
I started taking my friends parts as they want upgrades and give them some money minus the build fee and we look at ebay prices that way i can always upgrade or i trust them boot test then use their old parts as giveaways or sell to a high end buyer
I built a computer based on a Ryzen 5 5500 and an Asrock board. Used an ancient NZXT case my roommate acquired a while back. Use it for video stream or other jobs while I am using my main rig for gaming. The 5500 is a pretty nice CPU actually.
i like how he kneels down while talking to us... he's equal to us and not some hi and mighty content creator that thinks they're a gift to the pc world. /s
Ideas for giving away other computers in the future how about old parts or things laying around your not using and just throwing it together and making it work could be a fun video of building a pc with parts that are just all over, like a mini chaos video!
Hi Greg, i bought a windows 11 key via your link and used your code and it all worked out super great thank you very much for this i finally have a fully working win 11 pro 😊
I run an ryzen 7 5500x i think a 2060 super gigabyte motherboard with wifi incase my ethernet screws up with 3 fans the top front vent bottom pulls into the gpu the gpu goes into the back fan drawing in air and it all goes out the front from the current have space for 5 more fans or a water cooler isnt it called an aio it has great cable management possibilities with clips or zip ties the dark tent glass makes blue look better its insane
Pretty sure you're the only tech RUclipsr I'm subscribed to that gives back to his audience consistently. Every other RUclipsr is just helping a friend or relative. Only Nerd on a Budget is close to having content that help/hookup random people.
How about holding community nights, where we use the discord acitivites? The on one of those random community nights, perhaps the winner of the game also wins a giveaway. You dont have to announce the giveaway. This would be a great way to get involved in your community and bring people together.

@gregSalazar I just tried that discord link and it isn't working.
No parts list?
The runescape background music is ftw. lol Hands down.
They closed down.@@cParman9
I still can't believe my husband won this and I get to enjoy it, thank you Greg! I'm not into tech, but you seem to explain things to where even I can understand so I've subscribed! I've played my older games on it so far with no issues (skyrim, fallout) and plan on playing Baldur's Gate soon :)
congrats hubby!
You're in for a ride with Baldur's Gate, I'm loving it now. Congrats!
@@Dan-SimmsBaldur’s Gate and rides seem to be a very… appropriate pairing of phrases.
Congratulations!
That's awesome congratulations, enjoy
I melted from cuteness overload. Your child is adorable! 🫠
Hahah he's a curious one for sure!
❤shes having a blast playing everything nice and smooth! the red devil looks amazing!
Nice. Congrats
ty:)@@qT_p13
Did you see that Jay is going to start doing fix or flop style videos in Cali? I think it’s awesome that you were able to inspire that. I love watching both your content and keep up the amazing work that you do!
We, in the PC Gaming/Enthusiast need to protect this man at all cost.
The way you gave a way this rig was sweet , really nice to be able not only to win the PC but also interact with you and thank you directly!
The fact that you give so much back to your community is really nice to see. keep up the good work my friend.
Awesome when you can find a good deal on a case like that. They usually go pretty fast. I got an Enermax Grace Mesh case for $35 back when I first put together my build and that was an amazing deal. Still using that case for my main build and I love it.
I love watching your videos. You always help scratch my building bug.
Glad to hear it! And thanks!
I've been a big fan of Raijentek for a while... My first computer build was in an Ophion. Great cases, great prices.
you are a rockstar in the pc community, thanks for being as giving and as awesome as you are!!!! i'll be a forever fan of yours for the amazing things you do for others! Keep being awesome!
Just keep doing what you are doing Greg, you are doing a great job of informing and entertaining without getting too over the top and "self serving" like some other channels out there in youtube land.
Microcenter used to sell a budget case and power supply for around $30, i got three of them and they have been running for about 5 years. Miss those days.
Most don't have but a few hundred to spend on a PC. Great budget videos lately Greg 🤙
I was this many years old when I first heard "risk it for the biscuit". 🤣
fractal design focus G is what I recently bought, found it on sale from newegg at $40. little bit older style since it has two bays for optical drives, it's a really good case at that price point.

WOW Little Greg is getting so big. God bless you all. 🥰
11:51 😂, nice way to acknowledge it without weighing in one way or the other
at 13:47 you can see me as i failed to be able to join the vc lol
The Value Build!
Awesome way to do a giveaway Greg. You’re a stand up guy!
The Thermaltake S100 and the Vetroo M03 are both very good value PC cases going for $65 to $70 on Amazon. I've built in both and they both have well made tempered glass doors.
GG, Greg. That's a nice little gaming PC. Congrats to Cronotrig.
at my country some shops import from china directly from the factory things like this, you find basic cases for 11$, around 35$ gives you a case with 4 fans

and yes depending on how thick your cable management is its insane for the right panel its so smooth
I am a big fan of Raijintek components - cases, fans and aftermarker Morpheus GPU coolers, which really work.
thanks
I love what you are doing with the supra that red air manifold is nice
Right when I get back into pc stuff the prices go back up.
13:16 Final was so close to finally winning something in his life.
Years and years ago when Fry's was still a thing they were selling cheapo atx cases for 10 bucks a pop. I bought two. One I used for a media center build for a client, he just needed a computer for watching Netflix and such on his living room TV. The second one kept for myself for the same reason.

I still have the case sitting in the basement should I ever need it again.
Congrats to the winner! Cool giveaway idea. Nice case.
oh wow! i really hope i find it in stores in my country! it looks exactly like what i was looking for!
Hey Greg, I think you should take a look into the deepcool cc560 case as it also offers insane value imo
I built a flip in one last week, very nice
since that case is sold out, I super recommend the montech air 903, the quality for its price(65$) is amazing
Damn. Didn't know you had a discord channel. When I joined it made me wait 10 mins before posting!!! Jusr missed out. Never mind, keep up the brilliant videos Greg. I love the Fix of Flop vidoes and the building ones.
I think Greg's take on the LTT GN thing in this video is perfect.
i like your channel i learned a lot how to troubleshoot computers nick
Hey Greg, I normally I don’t leave comments, but I thought I’d let you know that it’s still an honor to be seen in a video of yours in your own discord server and yes that is my Discord tag lmao
Great build, and a very successful give-away. With no awkward handshake!

Big omission is lack of floppy drive bay.
Thats funny. I have this exact case. The front body dust cover is a bit different but its the same thing otherwise. Its a pretty good tower over all.
That tune at the end.... I almost thought I was watching an Austin Evans vid 😂
I've recently bought the montech X3 case for about 50 bucks and it seems it is the same case with a different front. The montech comes with 6 pre installed RGB fans. Only downside the fans have a molex connector. And the RGB is only rainbow puke. Good thing is the RGB can be turned off. This is a really great case for not too much money
awesome stuff good onya Greg ... very big thumbs up
Thanks 👍
Your son makes the video more awesome ❤️
A really nice touch 🥹🔥
Hope you enjoyed your stay in Houston! Outside of the scorching heat. Did you go to the hamburger joint under the highway across from Micro Center?

Can we talk about how many tabs the person has open in their browser there? Lol
Oh nice, something worth watching.
Yes, pair the right PSU class for the right build! While I would only buy the good value A-tier PSUs, my hardware is also expensive enough and power demanding enough to actually warrant them. For a Ryzen 5500 and RX5700XT build, that PSU should be alright. I personally would've gone to maybe a better quality 650W Bronze PSU, but the EVGA 500 BR seems fine enough.
total system power output should be around ~300W, which would be fine
that looks like a great budget case. how are the thermals in it? does it have decent airflow?
I run a ryzen 5 5600x and a rx 5700xt great system
Love the RuneScape music when our fella won the pc!
that build turned out really nice.. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great unboxing and nice looking machine! we have more
Coming in such as the ponos ultra and the paean c7 - all with great price
Performance
Wish you were in Bismarck ND. My PC needs your help
I started taking my friends parts as they want upgrades and give them some money minus the build fee and we look at ebay prices that way i can always upgrade or i trust them boot test then use their old parts as giveaways or sell to a high end buyer
Awesome to see you make a video about this! Sent you my build of it on Twitter recently :)
Great way to give back to community ❤
Enjoying your videos as usual. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching!
Not a bad looking case for real.
I built a computer based on a Ryzen 5 5500 and an Asrock board. Used an ancient NZXT case my roommate acquired a while back. Use it for video stream or other jobs while I am using my main rig for gaming. The 5500 is a pretty nice CPU actually.
The runescape music was great in this video 😂
Only channel I have notifications on for
How has your son gotten so big already! I feel like it was only just yesterday when you were cradling him in your arms!
Ayyyy he made sure the power strip was on this time
here in the UK you can get a Corsair RM1000e (2023) 1000 W 80+ Gold for £152.99
Tyvm Greg , i was a little hesitant to buy the key , but for $21.50 ( with your code ) USD, i gave it a shot and it works perfectly !
I feel sorry for "final." Some kind of consolation, maybe a steam code or something lol
Very nice build in a $40 case. This is a definate great value. The build looks like a very epensive build and no one would know the difference.
i like how he kneels down while talking to us... he's equal to us and not some hi and mighty content creator that thinks they're a gift to the pc world. /s
Love your vids Greg. Keep them up

Hi Greg,
i bought a windows 11 key via your link and used your code and it all worked out super great thank you very much for this i finally have a fully working win 11 pro
😊
Thats the one i just got where i upgraded a friend i highly suggest it
Could you do a video on good case choices that include at least one external 5.25" bay? I still use Blu-Ray.
I run an ryzen 7 5500x i think a 2060 super gigabyte motherboard with wifi incase my ethernet screws up with 3 fans the top front vent bottom pulls into the gpu the gpu goes into the back fan drawing in air and it all goes out the front from the current have space for 5 more fans or a water cooler isnt it called an aio it has great cable management possibilities with clips or zip ties the dark tent glass makes blue look better its insane
Im still using h440 still love it but want to upgrade to something like h7 flow for better temps
what exactly can sufficiently air cool a 13900-k?
You’re such a great guy! I love these videos, thank you for everything you do keep it up!
This was a cool way of doing a giveaway!
11:48
I get that this was all pre-recorded; but, that is some unfortunate timing for an off handed comment.
That was so cool. OMG I just joined your discord, I thought I was following you on there already
Pretty sure you're the only tech RUclipsr I'm subscribed to that gives back to his audience consistently. Every other RUclipsr is just helping a friend or relative. Only Nerd on a Budget is close to having content that help/hookup random people.
I know of another tech RUclipsr that gives away computers Carey Holzman.
@@jerryspann8713 stop I'm not adding more channels to sub. :-)
lowkey might buy this case for my pc build lol.... great vid as always!
This PC looks awesome!
Very cool and sensible budget build.
Now the moment people see Greg in voice chat they're going to swarm it lmao
the chat was complete chaos that day lmao
Thanks for the RuneScape beats 🤘🏽Congrats to the winner, cool way to give something away.
Another episode with the apprentice, I see. He has his basics down pretty good at this point, might be seeing him building PCs soon!
PC looks pretty dang sweet. Congrats on the win Cronotrig🤘
