I remember 1650s going for 300-400 and I was got one in a prebuilt for 500-600 total. I wanted to build but the prices were insane. I should've gotten all the prebuilts they had and resold them .
@@nuimec2061 I've been building computers for years, those Aresgames are really good power supplies lol. 600W for a 6600 it's 250W extra that you don't need. He could had gone with any 450 or 500 and save 20-25$ easily.
Shaving off the PSU when you could've gotten cheaper RAM without RGB? Although I suppose the PSU of choice wasn't as bad as it could've been. Saving on a case could be done because there are airflow cases that are cheaper and without the unnecessary bling.
Sometimes even cheap PSUs are okay. Like the coolermaster mwe v2. (Ofc that has gone up in price since Gamernexus made a video praising it xD). No unbranded, unrated, silver colored nonsense tho
@@imjuswatching3983 I suppose it does make sense for going for best performance for money with possible upgradability for the future. But at that point, I'd honestly just get some simple second hand case. Plenty of those lying around dirt-cheap. Just put all the money in the performance and reliability, forget about RGB and fancy cases until you have spare money.
Neither of the builds were really great. Both could've spent more on CPU and GPU and said F* the looks. Especially when they both just clicked on the first stuff they seen instead of actually looking for deals.
Pretty equal overall, I like the more stealth look of the 6600xt build but the 6600 model would be better on say a stream for ascetics, so you can't go wrong either build both get an A

2 very nice systems, the 6600 system definitely looks better, but i think the 6600xt would better in most games which will be gpu limited (you even said the SotTR benchmark is very cpu limited). Lesson for the day is to pick the best deals across reputable suppliers rather than sticking to a single supplier.
Even today, July 2024, either one of these systems would be excellent for someone getting into PC gaming, or those looking for an all around system for a variety of applications.
And Best Buy will match Amazon's prices. They don't mention that in their ads, but I've gotten Amazon prices at my local best buy. Amazon just has to have it in stock for BB to match the price.
Hey guy's, i have a idea for a video you two can do. How about you to build your own computer. One with RBG and the the other with no RBG. Less see the cost different and the performance in each one with the cost of going each way. Try to pick the same size case for the pc and the same ram size. And the same amount of fans in each pc. Let see what would be better deal and better to big during these hard times.
you should do a full gaming test between them both, warzone, fortnite, and apex. would be good to see how far they different they are in game for game and not benchmark. performance changes on the play field
@@imjuswatching3983 it would perform alot worse the 1660 is like a base 1070 or less the 6600 is on par with a 3060 and 6600xt in between 306 and 3060ti. But I agree on ryzen
Can you do a vertical monitor gaming review I can't seem to find one. I'm saving for a triple monitor vertical set up for gaming but no one really has done a review on this can you?
Hey guys, I love the channel. Continue to bring the awesome content! I have a question I have the Lenovo ideapad 3 gaming laptop. It has 8 gbs of ram and 256 storage. It's also the 3050 ti version from Best Buy. I'm trying to upgrade the ram and storage. Which would you recommend i use? Thank you guys
Tbh the big mistake was spending 60% of the budget on an graphics card the most important things should be the motherboard and the cpu like an i7 12700k with the right motherboard and an RTX 2060 would have been fine
I can't believe a 6600 not XT went for $600 bucks.... and that's probably what I'm gonna get for my build and it's $200.... that's nuts. I'll probs get the 6650XT for $249 I think it is .
MSI GF63 Thin 9SC-068 15.6" Gaming Laptop, Thin Bezel, Intel Core i5-9300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650, 8GB, 256GB NVMe NVMe SSD is this a good laptop and what monitor should I get
Damn imagine them doing the same thing now (10 months later), then they could have payed for a refurbished rtx 3080 (599,99) or a brand new rx 6800 (519,99) for under or the same price of the rx 6600 xt (599,99).
For me the Asus board and better PSU are worth the investment as the gaming performance difference between the 6600 vs the XT, while measurable, isn't a deal breaker. The higher quality PSU makes a GPU and CPU upgrade hassle free in the future. Personally I could care less about RGB but that Asus board wins an aesthetics as well and when using RGB memory having the fan and front RGB on the case does bring it together. In today's market for a grand both builds are solid though. Nice job guys!
Just looking at these graphic card prices a year later and holy shit the powercolor 6600 listed for $650 is now $200 on Amazon that’s insane

Bean battles is one of the most fun games I have ever played! Great to see you guys playing it lol
I was thinking the same thing lol, I’m glad to see more people that know about it
I think you should make a video with the same idea, but add a roulette wheel with PC brands for the components you have to buy
I like how you guys figure out which videos we liked and just do similar videos to that! awesome idea :)
Prices were fucked then holy shit lol. Having to put an i3 in your $1,000 PC is brutal
The Musetek case adds +5fps for rgb front panel. Wins before it even started.

Love the Amazon model with the XT GPU! RGB rocks!!!
Wait I thought the Amazon one had the regular RX 6600 and the Newegg one had the 6600XT.

Facebook marketplace buildoff!!
Hello the future here you can get a 6600XT now for about $350, that really brings the price of these builds down and makes for a great 1080p setup
Got mine for $210 new on Amazon about a month ago.

10:53 the 6600xt is better than the 3060 not just close, infact game dependent it can beat the 3060ti. its basically a 2070 super performance wise.

yeah in my opinion if he went for a cheaper case and psu he could have got the i5
Maximizing the tower means no rgb and a cheap(ish) case.
you can beat that for around 60% of that price now, I think. Just 3 months after.

I'm getting the Intel i3 10100f soon and to know these guys both thought it was a good cpu for the price is reassuring and helpful
