I would personally go with performance. I would say many if not most people who want a $600ish budget build are doing so because they lack money for higher end builds, so they try to maximize performance per dollar. And that's not to diss anyone who is going for aesthetics. There's nothing wrong with getting an aesthetic build if that's what you want. It's just that most who go for aesthetics usually do so because they have money to spare.
Regardless of performance, I actually like the blackout stealth look better than the white RGB. Getting more performance per dollar would just be bonus for me.
“It’s a performance build so we can go ugly” Dude, that looks SO GOOD! I don’t see where the ugly part is. True, I have a full black and orange setup (headset, keyboard and mouse RGB) but I only have a laptop, never had a PC. Yet if I’m going to spend the money on a PC I’d rather go with raw performance. It would be a first PC project I make myself and I want to know I’m getting the most out of my limited budget. Great video Zach!
Thanks Zach few weeks ago I was looking for a gaming setup for 600-700 dollars, this would really help me I am about to get my first pc in a few months I just wanted to thank you for this I have always enjoyed your videos
Hear me out, Zach makes the best build guides on all of RUclips. Both PCs looks great. Cable extensions and color coordinating is all you need for a clean build really.
0:29 you could always just meet in the middle, where you can make a performance focused build but highlight some budget aesthetic elements like some Thermalright fans or maybe even a GPU Sag Bracket lol
If you're comfortable in buying used/BNIB parts then you can do the AM5 route fairly easily and not to mention that you don't have to pay that Uncle Sam via tax as the price listed in the video are before taxes. Here's my build and all came from meta. -Ryzen 5 7500F for $125 -16 gb (2x8) 5200 mhz which technically came free, but is priced $30 -Asus Proart B650 creator for $140 -256 gb m.2 nvme the only thing new for $20 -BNIB 3060 ti for $220 -Prexisting Corsair SFF 750 Plat bought for $125 -Thermal Assassin 5 heat pipes $20 -Cooler Masterbox q500 $20 Edit: I come from Canada, so I converted everything in USD and I also have shopped in Ali and have not experience any problem with them.
Right now i have your 400 $ PC pure performance with the 600$ setup in Europe and i absolutely love it. I would go with the aesthetic PC because now that i have it for a few months i realise the importance of aesthetic
Hi Zach, I have a build with me, just bought the parts yesterday. I am used to installing on am4, never on am5. since this cpu is more than double the cost of the last one i used, i would like to know how to completely install it properly. Could everyone get this some likes so that Zach can see it? Thanks
i love these videos and the style with aesthetics AND price to performance so i can mix and match parts with a little extra budget left :). keep it up.

Hey I have a question about my gaming PC. So I want to upgrade it because it’s bad but I don’t know much about gaming PCs, I want something affordable. It has GT 1030, Intel Core i5-6500, and 16 GB DDR4 RAM
I would go for the performance but i like the idea of showing both builds. I love your videos and due to your build guides i finished my first pc build successfully. greetings from germany
I got lucky on the build I’m doing right now. I got a free case, mobo and PSU, and already had storage. Sold a mobo, NAS, and office PC I also got for free and got a kit of 32gigs DDR4 and $90. Adding a 5600X ($150 w/ cooler) and a RX 6800 XT ($370). Total out of pocket cost around $430. Not too bad, especially once I sell my old 1650 I5 9th gen gaming laptop.
I think you've nicely demonstrated why its not worth going for aesthetics if you're on a tight budget, the extra spent to make the PC look better subjectively made it perform worse objectively, that's not a trade I'd recommend people make. Maybe it makes sense at higher budgets but for me it seems completely pointless spending 20 dollars on cable extensions when you could have bought better parts instead.
Zach, i got a challenge for you, PC build under 1000 dollars, only new parts, intel 12600k, RX 7700 XT SSD 1tb PCIE gen 4 (7300mbps). Include at least 5 fans, CPU cooler and custom cables. All white
There are some great Matrexx cases. I use the Matrexx 55 Mesh and it’s been an awesome case. Looks good, great cooling, tons of mounting options for AIOs/fans and very easy to work on. I’ve heard the RGB can be a pain in this case, but I don’t use RBG so it’s not an issue for me. You can pick one up for around $80 new if you shop around. Comes with one RGB rear fan and two 120 non-RGB fans in the front. ✌️

Can you do a PURE PERFORMANCE build for 1440p ~120hz gaming (for most games)? I know it is different from your regular builds, but I and maybe some others are willing to pay 100-200$ more just to get "Perfect price to performance build for 1440p gaming". 1080p is too low and 4k will be too expensive. 1440p would be perfect.
Hey Zach , I hope you see this message, I have an Ryzen 5 5500 , Asrock b550pro v4 , Antec 550w Psu , rx 6600 , can you suggest me a really tight budget upgrade of only one component that will really help me to close near to 1440p

@@GX_Ethernalsome people like aesthetics I mean they look cool, some have it on their desk and look at it All the time and want it to look nice. I personally like it with no aesthetic of course people should only get aesthetics if they have money for it, not on a low budget.
@@exocleats6937 yeah of course if you’ve got the money and spending 1000+ on a pc sure add some aesthetics but the op said 100% which implies he always has aesthetics but I might be wrong
Go for performance guys. You can always use skins and your creativity to make your performance build look sexy. Afterall xbox and PlayStations are just a block as well. Just use custom skins and roll with it ❤
I would rather go with pure performance one but get a nice Cabinet so that i can upgrade based on aesthetics by adding coolers and cables later on (i like black build more than white because black looks more neat for me at least)
if i was like you who has built lots of pcs and wont be using it as my main rig i would rather build the astetics pc, but if this would be my only build i would choose the performance one(i dont have a pc)
I really don't understand why you promote b450 vs b550 for ryzen 3600/5600 when they're the same price, its pcie 4 vs pcie 3, is it that insignificant?
I’m buying my first computer soon, is the msi mag a550bn safe? or should i get something a bit more expensive. Just need to find a psu that won’t blow up 😂
I have been saving money for so long and I think I am going to start building my first pc I personally would go with performance but the other pc still looks insane
Hey i think you made a mistake because actually the ryzen 5 5500 only supports pci.e gen 3, so you should have been taken the 3600 for the asthetic build that would have been better. Please correct me if im wrong, but if im correct thank me later ;)
I use the black non-RGB version of that cooler on a 5500 and it's more than enough, as is the chip with the 2060S it's paired with. I knows me place, it's 1080P, I'm fine with that.
Performance is what matters to me. I don’t mind some RGB and other things, but at the end of the day, I’m looking at my monitor, not the pretty lights and fancy case.
while Rob's are cool, I would now always opt for performance per buck. I mean, 1200 bucks can give me one beast pc if I focus on that, pure performance. a ryzen 5 cpu, 32 gb of ddr5, a nice 7600 XT...you know?
I honestly see no point in spending the budget that you have for aesthetics over performance, if my budget would be around $500 I would definitely get the best parts in the budget that would give me the best numbers. I don't think that it's a good idea to spend that budget on aesthetics
I’m building a similar build to the performance one except I’m gonna be running integrated graphics on a 5600g for a few months until I get probably a 6700xt for Christmas
using my $150 pc (low profile) from 5 year specs - i5 650 8gb ram(upgraded) gt610(upgraded) 500 gb hard drive nothing other special still happy because i still can play minecraft but no other game
No aesthetics is an aesthetic for people who need to sleep with no RGB. RGB = Really Going Blind. I'm former IT Tech in the 90's...I remember when Beige was replaced by Black. Gonnah go performance over shiny any day.
Don’t forget to activate Windows on ALL of your gaming PCS! (Use Code ZTT18 to save 25%!)

@@itsatrap4986 yea but the 5500 doesent so the 3600 is better
The PCI Gen 3 on that B450 board will hurt the RX 7600 PCI x8 lanes quite a lot. Spending slightly more for a B550 will yield even better performance.
