    TL;DR: Never cheap out on SSDs (and Power supplies).
    Many games, including CS2, will struggle or straight up NOT WORK with SSDs like that, because they come with 4GB files or larger. I know because I bought a Lexar NQ100 960GB SSD trying to cheap out and I had to learn this the hard way. The issue comes with files larger than 4GB. The controller can't handle them and the read speed will top out at 10MB/s which is lower, WAY lower, than an HDD. Best case scenario, loading times will be several minutes. Worst case scenario, like CS2, the game will freeze/crash trying to load huge files and most likely timing out. CS2 trying to load a map when entering a competitive match will result in you getting a competitive cooldown and losing ELO.
    Everything else on this build is fine.

    Absolutely enjoyed the video Danny. Very similar to my build I showed you on your stream months back. Glad you were able to build this for a cheaper price than when I built my LAN PC. Love a case with a handle. I've recently been transporting my LAN PC in my old DJ Shure vinyl travel backpack was surprised it fit perfectly.

      @@danielhulan3058 on top of that, the majority of toasty bros “budget builds” involve either begging micro center to give them large discounts for bundling (even with components that aren’t in bundles) or building a PC using nothing but used parts and older Invidia GPUs, knowing well that by now a LOT of newer parts have gotten fairly affordable. They seem to have a disgust towards Intel cards especially, even though their drivers have improved by a lot

    Great video. I'm sitting here looking at the same case which is manufactured by Ionz in the UK. I got a ryzen 5 7500F from aliexpress which was £60 less than a 7600 after tax. It took 3 weeks to get here but was totally worth the wait. The other am5 cpu that is very cheap there is the 7700. Even after tax it's £100 less than the UK price! I love the case, it was £45 in the UK and I bought some white mesh and magnetic tape to make filters as there aren't any on the case. Apart from that it's an absolute bargain.

    All of the numbers looks great. I do agree with adding a few more dollars on the ssd to get a reliable brand. I currently have 2 dead China SSDs and I am sure the number will grow.
    In a twisted sense of irony, I ended up handle case that is even smaller. I promise you I was not looking for one. Putting it together was definitely challenging.

      I will reply back with the write count on that drive. It was not used for gaming but it was heavily used 7 days a week. Maybe others can post their current use count and we can collect a little data on how long these actually last. My SSD is a SanDisk I bought in 2021 (in a laptop).

    Our $500 builds include a 5700X 3D and a 1080ti or 5700XT. No need for overpriced 3060's/6600's when they aren't faster. You don't need questionable parts or Ali Express/Temu either. Hard to imagine that just 4 short years ago, $500 would be a 3600X and 1660 Super with 8gb ram. And people are complaining about prices for some reason. lol People look at "new" as a good thing, and it never is. People got excited for the 7800XT when you could have had the better 6800XT for only $350 and had it quite a bit longer.
