IMPORTANT:
Since I made this video, I have read a report of a theoretical security risk in the firmware updater included in many Gigabyte motherboards, including the one in this build:
eclypsium.com/blog/supply-cha... However, no exploitation of this risk has been reported, and Gigabyte have issued an advisory with a BIOS update fix: www.gigabyte.com/Press/News/2091
I have personally also disabled “APP Center Download” in the BIOS, which stops the updater running. I would advise doing this as follows:
Press “Del” on the Gigabyte splash screen on boot to enter the BIOS.
If it says “Easy Mode” at the top of the screen, press F2 to enter “Advanced Mode”.
Go to “Settings” (top menu, third across) and click on “IO Ports”.
Click on “APP Center Download and Install Configuration”.
Double click the “APP Center Download and Install Configuration” orange bar, and set to “Disabled”.
Click on “Save & Exit” (top menu, on the right) and then “Save & Exit” and select “Yes”.
Sorted. The firmware updater with a potential security risk is now disabled.

Hm wouldn't the cpu cooler from the old system fit onto the plastic bracket that the motherboard has mounted ?
Also if you are going too remove the stock cooler too try it out, twist after unscrewing it fully & removing the backplate from the motherboard.
The stock thermalpaste easily has enough tackyness too lift the whole weight of the motherboard even without it being screwed into place.
So it will rip out the processor with it if you just pull upwards.
Lifted my full atx size motherboard here myself with ram installed & ssd dangling by the sata cable no problem, only too look down & see the cpu backplate laying on top of the motherboard box & me realising it was held in place by thermalpaste & the processor socket in the air.
Thank you for addressing this potential security issue if left unattended. I really love your suggestions for budget builds where appropriate (90% of home computer needs). That OS looks good. I am going to try it with my x370, and a rx 480. I still have 32GB of EVGA 3200 DDR4 on the motherboard. I still have my 3600X which I may use that Gigabyte MB for some type of automated home controller.
This was reported by Gamer's Nexus maybe a month ago
Oh boy. One shouldn't have to worry about stuff like that. I had to update my motherboard's bios because Windows 11 wasn't detecting the TPM properly which I don't understand it was a fairly recent manufacture. Once I did the bios update, everything was fine. And luckily I didn't come across any issues with backdoors and such when I was researching the issue I was having with the TMP. I don't get how a company can mess up the bios TPM when it's been around for a while now. It's an MSI motherboard though not a Gigabyte.
23:44 "I'm not a gamer"
Yes, you adequately demonstrated that fact with your aeronautical skills there. ;)
This is probably the gold standard for a PC build video. Everything was so patiently explained unlike other hardware channels. Well done Christopher!
Straight to the point without stupidly loud background music, long intro and an idiotic face in the thumbnail. What a breath of fresh air.
Well done 👍
Literally Explaining Computers. 😂
Old people are slow, that is what you meant by Golden Standards, most people only care for Bottlenecking issues, old people do APU crap, more then enough, muhahahaha. Why not use the iPhone for that ?
Christopher's video was the first I learnt that "you can put PC's together?!" cool, all the way back when I was 9.
Still fun to watch it, same quality, same pace, same clarity.
Totally agree. He is the best
It's so refreshing to watch a PC build where the focus is assembling a reasonable & reliable system rather than extreme overclocking, water cooling, and RGB lighting madness. I don't need another system right now, but your video tempts me to build one anyway just for fun!
Ha, I felt the same temptation, but I too shall resist... I haven't worn out the 'old' system yet. ;)
For the majority of people who do not have hardware/software certificates this clip is very good value for money. Building a new computer to me is akin to building something out of LEGO. This is what i always tell people. It is not complicated. This clip shows that it is not. Snap the pieces in like lego and go. Even the OS is now a simple matter of booting up with it in the drive . As long as the system passes POST and the disk is in the drive the rest is easy.
am building a system right now just for fun but it's a 2007 motherboard - so I do my parts shopping mostly on ebay instead of Amazon. My 3GHz single core CPU cost me $10 :-)
But now I need to locate a PCI express video card suitable to that vintage era...
@@TheSulross I have a system named "Cash" because I got it just like Johnny Cash's car ... "I got it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime..."
Yeah, we don't need the "lunisy" [sic] of a certain other (and more frenetic) PC building/modding channel here.
I worked in IT for over 20 years, but there was a lot of stuff I found difficult to explain. Christopher's videos are truly aimed at everyone that is interested in computers. He manages to do the impossible - to explain the technical to both laymen and novices, it's amazing. Thank you for all your hard work and keep going because it's quality stuff that you produce. Best wishes.
Thanks. :)
Built my parents a PC to replace their incredibly aged, barely functional old one using one of these Ryzen APUs. It impressed the hell out of me, I did not think anything about integrated graphics was going to do that.
Intel's rather feeble integrated graphics have probably lowered your expectations. AMD's have always been better but not a standard feature.
@@johnm2012 My goodness its night and day in comparison, I was surprised to see the 2400G keep pace GPU wise with an OG Xbox one, and blow it away CPU wise. Half of all the games on xbox one were bottlnecked by the CPU haha...
Don't underestimate iGPUs. My Athlon 200GE could run Forza Horizon 4 at 720p smoothly.
Why old people need a PC in 2023 ??? Running what ???? Why not use the iPhone ????
Old people never need a pc, only kids need it to play games. Onboard GPU enough, muhahahaha
I always like the "upgrade"or build videos. You give very clear and precise explanations.
Sorry, unable to upgrade, too old ... his audience never need it ...
Yes, these are tops. I have a old used pc (2013).USB 2.0 only. Thanks to Explaining Computers I have bought a USB adapter that plugs into a PCI slot that thought it does not give me USB 3.0 speeds is much faster than USB 2.0. Thanks
Explaining Computers videos are my favorite part of Sunday morning. Thanks for all the great videos, Christopher. I genuinely appreciate the care that goes into them.
Thanks. :)
Chris is the best! ... All other RUclipsrs making computer videos can go home!
Thanks Chris,
I'm nearly finished my ryzen build (5600g - - a520m-s2h)
Such an amazing journey so far.
(This is just the beginning:)
Wishing you the best of health - happiness - peace - prosperity.
Cheers!
Many thanks for your generous support, and great to hear about your build. It sounds like you are on a great journey. :)
7:49 - Keep in mind while PCIe 4.0 is faster than 3.0 it may not be the bottleneck in your system. If you install a SATA HDD (or SSD) controller to add more storage space, the PCIe 3.0 is still going to be fast enough with multiple drives connected. Even if you're adding 16 more SATA drives to your *_home server_* using a single PCIe 1x slot your ethernet connection will now likely be the bottleneck and not the PCIe bus. It *all depends* on your planned usage. Don't let PCIe 3.0 scare you!
Totally agreed.
I watched some benchmark videos of game level loads times for pcie gen3 gen4 gen5 and the times were 26s, 24s, 23.5s so the "speed sacrifice" of gen3 nvme is not much. However, don't buy a gen4 x 8 graphics card or you'll be sorry as it will get crippled down to gen3 x8 which may slow it a lot (5-10%). A 3000 or 6000 series card is fine except for amd rx6500.
The only time PCIe 3 might be a bottleneck is if you go for a very modern GPU that's both PCIe 4 and only 8 lanes. Even then it's probably not a problem.
However I dislike A520 motherboards, what's the point of them? You could buy a B450 which support ALL generations of RYZEN for the same money. If you're building a budget system you might chose to use an older CPU.
@@wayland7150 interesting point. could you expand for those of us who aren't so knowledgable? eg what are the compromise points.
It is always nice to see a build of a computer that does not involve having to sell body parts to pay for it. I have a spare case floating around and this looks like a good candidate to fill it up. Thanks for another awesome video Chris!!!
Long time listener, first time caller. This channel is a gem, and I'm so glad it exists.
It's always hard to know exactly how powerful of a computer to buy, because if you go for the top then you really gotta shell $$$ out, but then if you go for the previous gen you worry about being able to play whatever games.
A great, no fuss build, no RGB, no discrete video card and no wired ssd/hdd to worry about. M.2 drives are so much easier. Computer builds are sure getting easier these days. Yet another to the point build video from our Christopher Barnatt. He's such a knowledgeable bloke!
1 dislike comes from nvidia & Intel team
I watch a lot of technology and PC hardware channels, but I watch ExplainingComputers because of the sheer amount of detail you go into! It is truly amazing how much you learn about a topic you thought that you knew about by watching an EC video. I have built 4 PCs myself but this video still taught me something. Chris, you are a truly amazing teacher.
I feel like my mother could watch this video and successfully build this computer. Amazing job. I love how much effort you put into getting very clear camera angles at every step of the build and the way you include breakout videos to subtopics in case there is any uncertainty.
Thank you for making this.
Thinking back to my first PC, it's almost inconceivable how much computing power can fit in less space for less than the price of just the floppy drive!
Greetings Leslie. I often muse on thoughts like this. In this instance I found it particularly amazing that no drives needed to be connected -- everything just plugged into the motherboard! And a small one at that. Amazing times.
@@ExplainingComputers some say scary!
@@ExplainingComputers Did you decide that you are no longer interested in optical discs or those hot-swappable drives? Or will there be more to come in future videos on that front?
I recently did a 5600G build in a very small mini-ITX case which I need to finish off and start using; the biggest headache was deciding it's time to part with my long-trusted optical drive, and either go with external USB or just do without. But now it means I can finally give up my mostly empty tower which is increasingly hard to place around my desk.
the stories of what they went to space with in the past are extraordinary
Yes! I love your build videos, Chris. I've learned you're pragmatic, your build videos are a rare treat because you don''t build for the sake of it. They are always excellent, some of my favorite content you do. It's refreshing to watch someone experienced build from a practical mindset, as opposed to most of the over-the-top builds on RUclips that get disassembled after the video is made.
Brilliant video Chris! It had everything! Mr. Scissors, Stanley the Knife, Mr. Screwdriver and even explosions! PC build videos are always interesting, and your presentation is excellent. Keep it up!
Yes, when I bring my car across the pond, I think I'll tour around with Chris in the BACK seat! :)
@@lesliedeana5142 I think you'll be fine as long as you're not flying with him! :)
Think the dad jokes need a bit of work personally....
I like the builder projects and videos! This is one of the things around to which I wish to get, the working examples here help a lot for frame of reference.
Thanks Christopher, great video. I'm glad you're using the same strategy of not buying the latest stuff as I used to when I was buying PCs for my company. And that was 30 years ago!
Another great video Chris! I Love the great camera shots for installing front panel connectors and the 24 pin power connector, and also the clear explanation of terms like DIMM and XMP. Keep up the awesome content! :)
Wow, 16 Gb for 30 quid. When I was still at school the price of RAM was around £100 per Mb! At that time, my nerdy friends and I were agog that they were going to make memory with a whole Mb on a SINGLE CHIP! How times change.
I find it staggering.
the miracles of china.lol.
Now this build is affordable and the components are priced within the range of my budget you explained every detail very well. Thanks, Chris for another great video.
I am incredibly experienced when it comes to PC building, but whenever something needs explaining to friends or family I just share a video from this channel. I am unfortunately not that great at simplifying things, so this channel is not only great to show others but it's also fantastic for whenever I feel slightly rusty in various aspects. Thanks so much for the videos over the years, Chris!
Thanks Chris, I really enjoyed the PC build video, I'm looking forward to the next instalments. I'm glad the IO shield behaved itself I've often had to swear at mine, springs in, springs out 'Argh'!! I've always used slightly older components for my builds, I can't see the point of maxing out on a machine that'll be outdated a few years down the line! You now deserve to relax, have a cuppa & a biscuit, another happy Sunday :)
Thanks for your support Alan, most appreciated. :)
I enjoyed this video. Thank you, for making it!
Awesome video, thank you Chris.
This video has it all! Mr Scissors, Stanley the Knife, Mr Screwdriver, ducks, plane crashes (amazing the fuselage remained intact) 😁Another fine Sunday morning videoooo! Be well all!
Got a good laugh from me when Chris corkscrewed the plane into the ground🤣
One little bit of advice. When installing a component which has a connector, wiggle the component (or connector, if it is separate) a little bit. Use a reasonable bit of force, but of course, not so much as to bend or risk damaging the component. Occasionally, you'll hear a little 'snap', indicating that something wasn't quite seated properly before the wiggle. But even if that doesn't happen, the wiggle just helps to ensure that all the joints in the connector are making good electrical contact.
(Also, I'm quite glad Chris didn't become a pilot :-)
Very impressed with your clear and concise instructions and explanations
Another great sunday thanks to EC! Thank you so much Chris, really helpful video
Fantastic work Chris as you covered all the key steps that even a novice such as myself could feel confident enough to do a similar PC build. Thanks and here's hoping the upgrades serve you well into the future! 👍
A great video. Chris, I understand the thought behind building a value build PC. That said, I’ve found so much more longevity when I save up and buy/build a higher caliber machine that will do all I want for years to come. I believe there is value there as well.
Loved the unfortunate flying accident and how you narrated/navigated til the end.
Thanks for such an educational video. I love the close-up shots, very good lighting and detail, I learn a lot with your videos and the computer is very good.
Interesting and informative. Thanks! See you next Sunday
I love the 5000 series.. I've had a 5800x for a while now & it's great. Very informative video for someone looking to build a budget system.
Your PC build videos have been an absolute delight to watch, and I've learned so much from them. The way you explain each component and guide us through the assembly process is both informative and engaging. It's clear that you have a deep knowledge of PC hardware, and your expertise shines through in every video.
Moreover, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your mini PC videos as well. It's fascinating to see how much power and functionality can be packed into such a compact form factor.
Given my enthusiasm for both PC builds and mini PCs, I kindly request you to consider creating more content on these topics. Whether it's showcasing the latest and greatest components for PC builds or exploring new mini PC models, I'm certain that your expertise and presentation style would continue to captivate the audience. Perhaps you could even delve into comparisons between different mini PC models, highlighting their unique features and use cases.
Thank you once again for the incredible content you provide.
Thanks for making this video. Useful, and nicely explained.
Lovely close ups, great videos, been watching for many years
Thanks for watching. :)
I can't express how much I loved the gaming experience presentation. It was so refreshing to not see someone shooting up and killing human figures that frequently have an actual human at the controls. That demonstration got the concept across effectively and provided a good laugh to boot. Cheers to you!
When you build or test a PC, it would be very useful to know the idle power consumption of the system. Why? Because computers spend most of their time at idle, so idle power is what mostly determines the overall running cost and so circulating this information is financially and environmentally useful.
Excellent video, as usual, by the way.
thanks a lot sir. really enjoyed your video.
As always very quality videos in detail ty for making content for us
I wish you were my teacher in all things. So easy to understand and retain what you teach me. Absolutely would recommend to anyone, 10/10 mate. The plane crash was shocking! Thank you so much for a great new video. I am inspired to build a new desktop PC from this! Maybe have my 7 year old daughter help me build it, or have her watch this and then she can give it a go herself. That would be a lot of fun! Thanks Chris
While I think it's great that prices have come down for components, I can't help but shed a tear when I think of how much I paid for a lot of the same components when I built my PC back at the end of 2021; most notably with GPUs. My final build ended up over $1,000, and half of that came from the GPU alone; I paid over $500 for an RX 590 at the time. I couldn't afford the card I originally wanted at the time, an RX 6600, because it was more than what I could pay. Ironically, that same card is now in my PC, and I bought it last October for less than $250!
Price changes in computing have been mad, and infuriating as you note.
PC GamePlayers must suffer 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Well, sarcasm of course.
I paid $30 above MSRP for my 6600 in March 2022. It now has problems where the fans run constantly, and keep up a racket. I’m going to have to use my warranty. The real kick in the crotch is that I found another 6600 a couple of weeks ago for $179.99.
I really like your contents and always watching. Well done!
Thank you for these informative and down to earth videos, I'm planning a build this summer.
Very straightforward and economical build. Apparently there's been a dive in prices lately too!
Yes, we are back to the trend of this modern era -after the parts shortage hiccup- in which we can say we're having the best of times in our computing lives value-wise.
Absolutely love an EC PC build. What has always been my favourite part about these PC builds is that they're realistic and don't involve PC parts which cost 1000's - thanks again Chris!!
Thanks Naill -- you are clearly my target audience! :)
@@ExplainingComputers definitely! Budget friendly PC’s are my favourite. I have the exact case you used in this video, and plan to keep it a good while longer!
Sunday greetings Chris.
This ryzen build is great PC for day to day use carrying enough juice to do some occasional video editing which is quite enticing.
Another exemplary video once again. TY.
Thank you for your excellent tutorial!
With Flight Skills like that you would qualify head Pilot of Airforce 1 under the current administration
:O
An important omission about the Ryzen G-CPU's (APU's), those only have half the L3-cache compared to the regular Ryzen-CPU's, so for example 5600G vs 5600. That will reduce performance. That is not necessarily a big deal if you want/need a low-budget PC but be aware of it.
Would a gamer be better off buying the non -G and adding the cost of a GPU ? My nephew is looking to build as his gaming laptop died (keeps shutting down). thanks in advance.
Thank you Christopher. I upgraded my PC following your advice and visiting your amazon front page. My PC is now running like a dream and all for a fraction of what I would have to shell out. Fantastic advice and information. Good luck on reaching a million subscribers before Christmas.
Wow, this is great to hear. :)
It's been a long time since I've built a computer and I'm finding out from this video how many things have changed. I think the last one I built was about 15 years ago or more. I like watching your videos because you do it slowly and explain a lot of things, Thumbs up for you.
Blessed Sunday greetings everyone! Ready for another fine EC video?
Greetings!
I could watch you explain things all day. Wish you were my teacher at school so many years ago. I might have done better than I did at that time. Check the prices we have to pay for pc parts in Australia I think you would be shocked at what it would cost us to use the same parts here. What you quoted seems remarkably cheap to me. Keep up the great work with your videos they are very much appreciated by everyone that sees them.
Major 90s PBS vibes. Great vid. Very relaxing to watch.
sunday funday , love your vids chris very informative and fun to watch, greetings from egypt
I picked up that same SSD on Amazing for $30.
SSD prices have dropped drastically.
good video sir, thank you.
I find these SSD prices extraordinary.
"...Or an absolute swine." Too funny! Technical knowledge and humor together! What a bargain!
YET AGAIN ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO Thank You
Ive been a Tech since the late 80's and your explanations are th best ive seen. Great videos
The 5600G is not a "real" 5600 but a 5500 with an APU, around the performance of a 3600. This CPU saved me some money during the mining period last year, when GPU prices were crazy high. This is definately a very good value build for a multimedia pc or even light gaming. If a proper GPU is added in the future it will make for a decent mid range gaming PC and the APU can still be used for error testing if something is wrong with the system, without the need of a GPU.
Very well explained video! Im pretty sure most people wont have a hard time creating similar builds..
Good basic assembly video, it doesn't have to be complex. 5600G makes a great 'office box' PC with a bit of graphics clout. For the difference I would now use a 1Tb SSD as it is only a few £££s more , using Solidigm P41+ drives atm, they update the firmware to optimise performance from their management tool.
I was also thinking along 1Tb lines.
Excellent. Thanks a lot.
Thank you, Chris, for this great build video. I had been thinking of updating my 15 year old desktop, and this was the inspiration I needed. Very helpful in all details--and especially as I was connecting the mobo headers. I was grateful for the magic of your filmmaking as your magnification of the led polarities was so much better than my reading glasses! All components sourced from your Amazon storefront--happy to do that small bit for all the great content you provide. Kind regards.
amazing value !!! it is hard to justify buying a raspberry pi or most sbc's with systems like this
I too find the price for a hexa core desktop with 16GB RAM and a 500GB SSD to be extraordinary.
@@ExplainingComputers even more so if you already have memory / disks. One thing, can a laptop 16Gb RAM chip be used in a desktop like this? They're smaller, is there some kind of adaptor ? thanks.
I built my current machine around the 5600G. Of course, it was US$100 more expensive when I bought it than it is today! For straight business applications and streaming, these 5000 APUs are great. I ended up going with an Asus B450 motherboard instead of a 500 series board. Works just as well in a budget office build.
A lot of love fot the 5600G here today. :)
Great video, very helpful, thank you!
I Just Bought all these Components on Amazon but with Different Ram. Thanks for the really Helpful Video. Love this Channel
I learned one or two things in this video, but the most important takeaway was never to get in a plane piloted by Chris…..
I always like these “best value” videos because it’s interesting how people measure value.
I think Chris makes sensible choices.
Thank you for sharing, Chris.
I've got that case! Awesome! I bought it years ago and never used it until last year....good work! ;D
Excellent vudeo, very detailed and thorough!
Let's see, we have...
✅ Mr. Scissors, Stanley the Knife, and even Mr. Screwdriver
✅ The word "swine" getting uttered during the I/O shield installation
✅ Ducks
And finally,
✅ An explosive plane crash
Yup, this build video truly has everything. Anyway, thank you so much for this one! It certainly looks like this provides a lot of bang for one's buck. Well done. 👏😁
Thanks for all the green ticks! :)
@@ExplainingComputers You're welcome! ❤
"I'm not a gamer, but..."
*immediately crashes the plane*
You know what, I believe you :D

Another great thorough build and review. Thanks!
Cheers Chris
Love a build video
Brings back shopping for components 2013 Intel build
that's still working today
Great channel
The 5600G is a "5,000 series", but it lacks support for PCIe 4.0, so you save money by buying an older/slower NVMe 3.0 SSD.
Obvioulsy you don't waste much time playing video games ;-)
Btw: as i commented in another video, there is a lot of used PCs offered now for reasonable prices for the simple reason they don't officially support win11. Depending on what your needs are this might be an intersting alternative to buying/building a new one.
And last but not least: Those ducks in the park always get me :-)
Indeed and agreed! Two of the three most popular videos on the channel this year have been about reconditioned hardware, and installing Windows 11 on older hardware. :) The ducks are cool.
It is really nice to come to a video expect a great tutorial. You never fail to hit all the check marks!
As always, clear detail and covers all the reference needs to either copy or change parts that suit one’s needs eg different cpu or higher ram etc.
Smiling to myself while watching this thinking 'he is very smart, affordable PC builds will definitely be sought after in this economy'.
24:00 Now I want an ExplainingVideogames channel :)
That would be a banger.
Amazing video tutorial as usual from Chris
Thank you as always it was very informing.
Whoo!
Explaining Computers!
Have you ever considered doing a vid on Chromebooks and Chrome OS?
I've pondered on covering a Chromebook. I've made several videos on Chrome OS (Flex), including running Linux apps: ruclips.net/video/AsWgzH3OzYY/видео.html
thank you for the video ! it's always nice to see a pc build. i'm impressed by the bios upgrade system, i remember the time when a bios update required to boot on an ms-dos floppy disk ! I'm confused about the m2 ssd though : doesn't it require an heatsink on it ? also, does your amazon marketplace works on amazon france ?
Most M.2 SSDs are still sold without a heat sink, and the drive here is not one of the latest ones designed for PCIe 4.0 (which the motherboard does not have), so should not get warm enough to need a heat sink. Bu one could always be fitted. Sadly I've only got Amazon set up for the US and UK, although the US Storefront may prove useful for seeing which components I used.
Nicely done as always Chris!
Greetings Chris.
Great video. As always, easy to understand and very well paced.
I was wondering when you were going to transition from "upgrade" to "build". It's like a wooden boat. When does it stop being a repair and turn into a reconstruction?
This is an excellent series. Thanks.
So you have Ryzen to the occasion yet again!
Oh, that piloting was priceless! Best laugh of my Sunday. 😂
thank you for this sir!
greetings Mr Barnatt :)
Greetings!
@@ExplainingComputers this video is awesome, thank you Mr Barnatt
I like your approach of going for the 'reasonable' rather than 'high end' side of the performance spectrum... If gaming is not a priority, this system should do its job nicely for the next couple of years, for a manageable budget.
One question though: would that system meet Windows 11 requirements?
Thanks a lot for your time and efforts, and have a relaxing Sunday! :)
Thanks for this. The system meets Windows 11 requirements -- and indeed runs Windows 11 well.
@@ExplainingComputers Interesting I was going to bet given the age of the processor that this was not going to be the case, but it makes a build like this more interesting! some of us are still firmly in windows 10 land i have 3 daily driver PCs that will not run windows 11 because their cpus are not on the list. They are all capable machines. I think i would probably see if i could find a motherboard with more memory slots given that i have ddr4 memory that i can recyle and my main work machine has 32gb which isnt enough! Having 3 machine to upgrade if i can recycle the ssds and some of the memory then thats good. Given that everyone will be doing the same old motherboards, cpus and ddr3 memory with are all non windows 11 stuff will be worth very little! and i have to use windows for work!
@@stevewhitcher6719 As time has moved on, processors not able to support Windows 11 are now typically about 5 years old. And the 5600G is less than two. :)
@@ExplainingComputers Good point! I did buy the Ryzen 5 CPU that you suggested but paired it with the 4 memory slot version of the motherboard! Havent bought an AMD cpu since they did socket 7 ones! Will be interesting to see what its like!
Brilliant video Chris as per. I always have a chuckle at your videos, but I lost it when you crashed the plane 😂. Thanks for that, mate. Hope you're well.
Fantastic video, Chris. The best part of X-Plane is the crash physics; good job!
