Have you found any good deals on PC hardware lately? Let me know!
Not exactly but i found a 1tb toshiba hard drive from 2017 in a thinkcentre i got for 20 bucks a while back
2080 super for $100 usd
@@ElijahsLab Bro that's an insane deal, congrats!

This would've been handy if i was still relying on pocket money/birthday money as a kid. This might be good to the more younger audience out there with not much money for a pc. I was there once
same, im still remembering the cheap lenovo laptop i got with a celeron processor. it wasent half bad actually
@@Assestionss lived off of my parents laptop and desktop for a long time
I'm in a similar situation but a little bit better i'm 18 and University is sucking all my savings so I just gotta rely on Ebay Money and Birthday money :) that's why i'm in this video
@@Assestionss No way cause im 15 yo with a lenovo pc that crashes every like 2 weeks no matter how many times i fix it and i really need a cheap pc since i dont got much money
im 15 and what ur saying is true for me
For the ppl that dont have time, the specs if the pc are :
Psu:thermaltake 600w ($45)
SSD:msi spatium 500gb($30)
MOBO & CPU: aliexpress combo($70)
GPU:aliexpress soyo rx 5700 xt($150)
Case:sama 2251 ($30)
Fans: 4 ARGB fans ($12)
Is that everything you need?
As said “3 of you who don’t know the specs” for the Xeon, much appreciated; learned something new today 👍🏾
The console argument many love to make is a bad one. A Playstation can only play Playstation games. An Xbox can only play Xbox games. Also, many console people don't seem to understand that you can connect virtually any controller to a PC. They seem to think they have to learn how to game on a keyboard and mouse.
You can still mod old consoles to run VMs, like I found a cheap Wii for $50 and runs everything made by Sega/Nintendo(except for Switch). Great for kids just learning to game or old game nostalgia.
Glad to see you featuring another used xeon build! This is a great build for the price range! Like you mentioned in the video, the second kit of ram would be a solid addition to this build. For those interested in these builds, most of these Chinese motherboards do not allow you to modify your ram speed/timings and will run all ddr4 ram at just 1866MHz (those that do will only allow you to increase speed to the max supported by the cpu, which is 2133MHz for v3 and 2400MHz for v4), regardless of rated speeds, and running the ram in quad channel will double the bandwidth, putting the ram performance roughly on par with a 3600MHz kit running at the same timings and significantly reducing any memory bottleneck you would have.
Also, the cpu you received in the bundle is actually a bit more powerful than the one you showed on the intel ark site! It's a special oem variant (which doesn't have an ark page) that can boost up to a max 3.5GHz rather than 3.3GHz and is one of the weird xeons that supports both ddr4 and ddr3 ram, assuming you get a board that has ddr3 slots on it. The ddr3 support isn't something I'd say most people should look into, but it definitely has its uses. The higher boost speed, on the other hand, is pretty nice if you want to go the route of the v3 turbo boost unlock at some point, as it would give you about a 400MHz boost compared to what the overlay showed you sitting at most of the time during the benchmarks, which could give you a bit of a performance boost in games at the cost of higher temps and power draw.
All in all, another great video! Love seeing ways to help get people on a tight budget into pc gaming!
It's shocking that you can do a build this cheap that can perform so well. Great content, Jason!
Sweet looking build for sure.
I really like the look of this build!
Thank you for the inspiration….just finished my first ever build with these parts (well, some of them) 😊
As someone who builds computers as a side hustle this is a banger!
Great video sir
great build for the price. i did something like this a few years ago and it’s not easy. my only recommendation would be to do anything you possibly can to get a bigger ssd, even if it means spending more. 500 gb will only fit 3 or 4 modern games after installing the operating system.
Damn, that's the same motherboard set I bought, with the exception of the CPU being a E5-2620 V3. I did get it on sale for sub-$70 though, that's still a steal
Swap that 2620 out for a 2666 or a 2697
2643v3 is great for cs2 and pubg, 2670v3 is cheap but weaker for 1core but have much more multicore power
Would this pc work good for higher end games like beamng or any kind of racing games
I’m on a non-existing budget but working on it. Looking to PS4 Pro most immediately but I’m thinking about this. I don’t care which platform I’m on, tbh.
whats a better gaming cpu to use?
Happened to notice the aliexpress special motherboard has a seven segment display. Take note motherboard vendors, we want this
*Great build, got the same GPU recently, runs a little hot but I was expecting it*
Undervolt it
Undervolt it lmao
I built a pc with 300$ used the rx 580 i3 10100f, h410m, 16g ram, 512 gb ssd and a 650w psu
how is the rx580 treating you? im thinking about using it in my first pc build
Not bad the newer hardware will def carry the build with it being an i3
Getting into building one since I can afford it now I was wondering if I can upgrade my specs overtime
what was the render resolution at for fortnite, that looked terrible
Dumb question but how do psu extentions work if its a non modular power supply? They just plug into the end of the psu cables and are super long?
pretty much - i wouldnt say they are super long, usually just about a foot or less, but yeah, they plug into the end of the PSU cables and extend them, so the ugly part stays in the back.
How would this run helldivers 2?
Hello, im new. Just found this on RUclips and thought i would have a look. Ive seen some other channels do cheap builds. So i was pleasantly surprised to see you are using AliExpress xeon & mobo. I have seen builds do this idea but not much in resent times. Last time i seen one of these builds they were using older xeons and it was questionable if the nvme slot on the motherboard worked. Personally i would save up enough for the extra ram. Quad channel is the way to go.
Then there's the GPU. 5700xt is one of the best price to performance used GPUs available on the AliExpress website imo. So much better than a rx 580 for this price point.
i dont know much about computers but if i wanted to use all the parts in this video but wanted to change the case to an darkflash dlm21(due to looks) would everything still be compatible
Yep should work fine
I thought you were really knowledgeable and trustworthy until you said lemonade is bad.
Im wondering if i there are other options for the motherboard combo i dont like buying from Alixpress
You can try to buy them separately from eBay, but it will be way more expensive
Geez, most of these prices have gone up $20 each on average. Im still considering going the HP or Lenovo workstion route with only needing to plug in a video card. It's still nice to see you can get some bling without spending $1000.
Those workstations are okay, but they don't give you any options for ram speed or timings adjustment, and you can't mid the bios for turbo boost unlock.
So I'm still Team AliExpress on this one.
lenovo p520 is a very good option if you live in the us. xeon w2135 is similar to a 10th gen i5
@@andreimoldoveanu1037no upgrade path and it’s like the guy above you said with timing adjustments
Will this config support win11?
6:56 What are you talking about Lemonade is fire
He can support Minecraft with a faithful 32 and complementary shaders reimagined? :)
Frames per second (FPS) can also be influenced by your monitor's specifications. Simply assuming you'll achieve a certain FPS without considering your monitor's capabilities can lead to disappointment. For instance, if your monitor's refresh rate is only 60Hz and you're aiming for 200 FPS, you'll likely face limitations. 🖥
Reflecting on my own experience, during times when budget was tight, I resorted to using my Samsung TV from 2015, which had a 1920x1080 resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. Even with a setup featuring 32GB RAM and an i7-4790 CPU, playing Fortnite on low settings with performance mode enabled, and relying on an AMD 450 LP 4GB GPU from a Dell Optiplex 7020 SFF, I managed around 120 FPS. The game heavily relies on GPU performance, hence the discrepancy. 🎮
Rocket League, on the other hand, is more CPU-dependent. Despite reducing all settings to their lowest, I could only achieve 60 FPS. However, experimenting with a slightly lower resolution in windowed mode, such as 1907 x 1080, increased the FPS to 40. Reverting to 1920x1080 resolution with higher settings, except for motion blur, brought the FPS down to 30 without movement, with power-saving settings activated, and around 50 FPS in motion. 🚗⚽
Understanding the fundamental hardware requirements for different games is crucial. Rocket League, for example, can run smoothly even with just 2GB of RAM. On the other hand, GTA 5 utilizes both CPU and GPU resources, allowing for the utilization of integrated and dedicated graphics processing units. 🕹
If you're noticing your PC's fans ramping up while playing Fortnite on a starter PC, it's likely due to the game's demands on your GPU or CPU, emphasizing the importance of knowing your system's capabilities and the requirements of the games you play. 🔥
can someone help me lol. i’ve been looking for all these pieces and the cpu/motherboard/ram combo has me stuck the one in the description is out of stock and i don’t know what’s another alternative im new to this so i don’t want to buy one and it not be compatible or something.
I got you :) s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DFEWASj
man, im planning to build a x79 and a e5 2690 v2. what should the ram i use the ecc or the non ecc?
Whatever is cheaper!
its better to buy x99
X79 systems are alot of fun. I just built a "new " Ryzen 1600 AF based system but that was mostly because of weird hardware issues with my 12 year old T3600.
But honestly performance is pretty close to the same as my old system which says alot.
As for RAM go with whatever is cheaper and try and take advantage of the quad channel support if possible. I have 64GBs of ECC RAM in my T3600 and it was a great machine.
Would this run Phasmophobia (game on steam)?
I'm not a computer person, but pretty handy and want to build a budget gaming PC for my partner.
Yep it would!
Hi is it possible to change or upgrade the cpu to a maybe better xeon type of cpu?
Most likely yes, just search x99 motherboard bundles on aliexpress
@@JasonWitmerYT Alr Thanks 👍
ah feels similar to my build.
combo asus b250-plus+i5 7500 (used)= $70
fan JONSBO CR-1400 = $15
ram ddr4 16gb (used) = $30
SSD nvme 512gb msi = $30
PSU cooler master 600w = $50
VGA soyo rx 5500xt = $100
Casing FZ014 include 3 fans RGB = $45
total $340
RX5700 it's great GPU, but "New" RX5700 from aliexpress is used - and heavy used by miners. It's some XFX or Saphire card that was cleaned, rebranded and repacked with fans/cover of new color.
So it's basically loterry
The gpu in my country is on sale for like 60 % That is pretty crazy but the full price I coulda got a 3060 or even a 4060
Cache is king when it comes to gaming any xeon e5-v4 with atlest 3.0ghz speeds n can boost to 3.5ghz with 30-40mb of L3 cache can still go toe to toe with any 8th,9th or even 10th gen intel or any 1st,2nd or 3rd gen ryzen n with re-bar enabled n ample cooling,they can can even dance with 12th gen F n KF chips or ryzen 5000(non X3D) chips, in games n even professional workloads,just do not pair them with an Nvidia card,ull leave a tonne of performance on the table,but with Radeon cards, boy they are totally worth their weight
The 2666 v3 boosts to 3.5, not 3.3
Hi, its the first time seeing one of your videos but could you try also benchmarking BeamNG Drive with this pc? thanks
Pretty good performance for such a budget build but can this pc be futureproof or upgradeable?
Not by much - my next video will be about a PC that can be easily upgraded!
Future proof doesn’t exist, unfortunately
Lemonade is good
Hello, I’m a console player but I’m looking to build a budget PC that I can stream from as well as edit video. It might be cool to play some games on it but it’s not a priority Do you think this would be a good solution for me? Could I get away with a cheaper option?
Thanks!
It depends on the games you’re playing; but yes this would certainly be able to do all those things just fine at 1080p :)
@@JasonWitmerYT thank you!
idk thats really good for a 350$ gaming pc but there is no upgread path if i was u id rather get a ryzen 5 3600 + mobo for around120$ + 2*8 ddr4 ram for 35$ + same ssd and case and psu for 110$ we d spend around 265 wed have around 85$ left either get a used gtx 1660 or rx5500xt yes the gpu is weaker but its got a bigger upgread path
9:37 music name?
Can I use rx6700 xt or rtx 3070 instead ?
You could, but the cpu might be a bit underpowered.
very cool, but I want to see 1% and 0.1% low and graphics frame time , and real settings in games
did any mid tower office case of an office PC has the ability to change the PSU and add a GPU i talk about the thinkstation M800 mid tower
i found a i7 6700 16gb ram 120gb ssd 500gb HDD for 210$ and add a used PSU for 30$ and the beast that never die the most powerfull GPU in the world RX 580 8gb for 70-100$ its a 6th gen intel CPU and i have the upfradibility max to a i9 9900k that is super powerfull TI
Bring the parts list!
That motherboard can also be modded with mi899 to make the single core turbo the all core turbo, and unlock resizable bar
Also, for the same price as that 5700xt, you could get the 6600M from Soyo, which consumes less power and performs better, with the addition of RT
Yo brother you seemed like you know what you talking abt could you help me get a mid end pc for a friend of mine we currently have around 220$ if not thank you anyways
@@MelvinRodriguez-vb2tc Youre gonna struggle in that price region, but your best bet is an older Dell T5810 or similar workstation off of ebay for ~100 usd shipped, and look for say a vega 56 for ~80 usd, then a good cached sata ssd for ~40 usd, if you want the most bang for your buck. Unfortunately, there isnt much of an upgrade path if you do that, and piecing out the rest of a normal pc really would struggle in that price range, you may wanna save up a bit.

@@MelvinRodriguez-vb2tc Youre likely gonna wanna get a dell precision t5810 or similar for ~100 off of ebay, a sata ssd for ~30 usd, and maybe a vega 56 or 5600xt for ~80-90 usd. youre budget is quite scuffed in terms of building a pc from scratch without landing some insane deals, but the pc I listed will play 1080p in 99% of titles at mixed settings well above 60fps in most titles.
