I absolutely love the value focused builds on the channel, there aren't too many of these on RUclips. Its a good reminder we don't always need the best of the best!
It's very rare, that I just lean back in my chair and enjoy somone building a rig, but how can you not? The video is well done, the choices are well thought out and the narration is just so pleasent. Attenborough levels of soothing. Thanks for your awesome work, man.
Oz, you have brought back my love for computers and budget builds. I was tired of spending so much money on new parts and never thought about the used market since I was a teenager starting out. Your videos are calming and engaging and I love your ability to make most builds aesthetically pleasing. Thank you
Good upgrade path to the 5800x3d, which is a top tier gaming CPU. Currently around $315, but even in a year or so it will still be very good thanks to that v-cache. Very impressive build
There's a big difference between cheap and frugal. You sir, are frugal. You get great deals and prices on products that are good without overspending but also without getting the worst options 🙏
I don't think it's particularly mind-blowingly genius to ... simply use older generation hardware, but the videos are still really well put together and I think it's nice that there is a youtuber who builds "new" PCs that actually cater to a lot of people's budget. Older cards often get lost in the shuffle from all this coverage of new and powerful products. People will almost feel "bad" for getting an RX6600 even though it's a true value champion and will let you play games on high/utltra-settings at 1080p60fps all day long.
And remember, if you are ok buying a used card, things like the rx 6600 can be found for about the same price provided you are patient enough to wait for an auction that goes for a much lower price
I just bought a B grade rx 6600 from overclockers UK for my first build. I got it for £200 which is amazing, the original price ranges anywhere from £260-£350
@@H31MU7 can confirm. in my experience, i bought a, RX5700XT, a refurbished model. it's been around 4 weeks already since i got it, it has worked pretty much flawlessly, albeit a bit hotter than my old GTX1650 Super, but is to be expected, draws more power. just make sure to buy from a reputable seller
The GTX 1660 Ti used is more in line with the price of the RX 580/5500 XT at around $100-$150 and its a good bit faster than both. You are not going to find a used RX 6600 for less than $200 unless you stare at ebay 24/7.
Or the 5700 XT that will net you a bit more performance for a little or around the same money if you're lucky. I got mine brand new just without the original box for £170.
Indianapolis is getting a MicroCenter this summer! I'm so happy I found your channel last month. I always thought gaming PCs had to be $1k+ to meet my needs, but you proved me wrong.
Built a very similar rig from Microcenter two years ago: case, mobo, and CPU (although mine's a 3600X) GPUs were a no go back then, so I dropped in my trusty GTX 960. I recently upgraded the GPU to an RX 6650 XT and added some RGB fans and strips. It's been a rock solid rig and plays just about anything well. Always dig your videos! Super chill and helpful
1:49 Oz Drop Tips hahaha By the way, I built the previous 500$ build and I gotta say thanks man, you really saved me a lot of money I didn't have and the pc performs pretty well. I did change the GPU and it ended up being about 550$ or so, but still, following your advice and the "good enough" mentality is something I needed to learn. So thanks again for making these videos, I know you help a lot more people that are struggling with money to build good computers. Edit: some tips, this case is great, but the power button is actually really sensitive, so I recommend any of you guys who bought this case to go to your windows power settings and make the power button not do anything hahaha
Oz you always put out some great videos. You make it easy for beginners who are for the first time building a pc to understand how to build there own PC. Can't wait for the next video thank you.
this was my first build ever and i had a lot of trouble following all the cable management. my cpu cooler was different and it was huge plus i have big hands. but thankfully i got everything plugged into the motherboard correctly
I really hope that they put a Mirco Center in Middle Georgia. Atlanta traffic is a massive pain and a 4 hour round trip is just not it for me lol. So for now I'm stuck either going to the overly crappy Best Buy in Warner Robins/Macon, or ordering things off of Amazon. I think they said that they're going to be opening 25 new stores in a certain amount of time, tryly hope one will be here. But I doubt it since I'm not lucky enough to get good things built here lol
Heck yeah, always happy to see a new video from you. Now I am doubly happy because I just discovered that there will soon be a Micro center here in Indy!
I love how easy Oz is making it look to build, like it is, because way too many people are afraid of building and waste money by buying a pre built system.
Oz you are awesome. This video was really enjoyable and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise as well as your peaceful and loving nature.
Thank you for this video. I love my local Micro Center. I just did 2 $380 builds for a couple of clients and Micro Center had the best prices and deals around.
If you go used the RX 5700xt is going for around $130 - 150 USD . Has great 1440p capability still. Performance is Comparable to RX 6600XT and RTX 3060!! Steal of a deal and anyone is looking for a cheap but very capable gpu. Definitely could last couple years until RTX 5000 and maybe RTX 6000 releases when hopefully the gpu price market will be better.
i wish your channel was much bigger , its the most real situation when it comes to getting the best deals , being good enough , giving best value and making the right decisions . love your stuff.
It should be noted that refurbished PS4 Pro costs around $400 on Newegg and such. This Rx 580 (570 in fact) is roughly equal to GPU in PS4 Pro, and PC itself is much more versatile and upgradable.
I was looking to buy/build my first pc to use for both my STEM focused classes and gaming. And I don’t think you know how glad I am that I came across your channel.
R5 5500 is a great CPU that most people sleep on. It oftentimes can be found for a low price, while offering performance in between 3600 and 5600! Rx580 is a great GPU, but personally I would certainly try to squeeze in a used 5700xt. Those things go for very cheap prices, but they're just a bit worse than 6600xt at 1080p and BETTER than 6600xt at 1440p! Insane value.
Enjoyed a cuppa coffee with this relaxing video, thanks! Also I seem to have very similar setup with 3600, 16GB but with 1070Ti, very nicely balanced build :P
Good stuff. Those RX 580 card are good to have around with an abomination for a competitor in the GTX 1630. The RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT while decent entry level performers leave something to be desired in the lack of pice lanes, making the RX 580 a good option for someone using a gen 3 board like this one. Also that cpu motherboard combo deal is fantastic, used it my fair share.
Watching and listening to Oz build a computer is like watching Bob Ross do a painting...so relaxing...so chill!
ikr asmr too the roof
lol that was exactly my thoughts!
😂
Now he just needs a case with trees on it!
Perfect description for this channel!
I absolutely love the value focused builds on the channel, there aren't too many of these on RUclips. Its a good reminder we don't always need the best of the best!

me with like 3tb of storage because i shoved 6 hdds from old pcs:
@@ItsTooSlickme looking at you find any excuse to talk about your build
@@Phosphor_Scolet em talk about it, they paid for at least that privilege 😂
That's a LOT of computer for $400 -- way to go Oz and MicroCenter!
It's very rare, that I just lean back in my chair and enjoy somone building a rig, but how can you not? The video is well done, the choices are well thought out and the narration is just so pleasent. Attenborough levels of soothing.
Thanks for your awesome work, man.
I believe that you need to get out the scotch 😂😂

pay with Power 42Cent/Kwh here in Germany
I wouldnt really pair the 5800x3d with that mobo if I was you
@emiliosp is there any particular reason outside of chipset?
@@ArtisChronicles power management i think
@@keylianembape to be fair, it's not really an overclocking chip anyway. It has a little lower power draw than the standard 5800x doesn't it?
We need a Microcenter in the PNW. Portland, Oregon would be great. No sales taxes!
There's a big difference between cheap and frugal. You sir, are frugal. You get great deals and prices on products that are good without overspending but also without getting the worst options 🙏
It is so refreshing to see someone on YT do a well-shot, good build that's at an affordable price. Keep it up!
Oz does the impossible. Like how does he think of these builds!
This build has been done by ToastyBros and others already.
I don't think it's particularly mind-blowingly genius to ... simply use older generation hardware, but the videos are still really well put together and I think it's nice that there is a youtuber who builds "new" PCs that actually cater to a lot of people's budget.

The trick isnt' the build, the trick is the dirt cheap build.
And remember, if you are ok buying a used card, things like the rx 6600 can be found for about the same price provided you are patient enough to wait for an auction that goes for a much lower price
I just bought a B grade rx 6600 from overclockers UK for my first build. I got it for £200 which is amazing, the original price ranges anywhere from £260-£350

I see a YT notification from Ozi, I click IMEEEEEDIATELY!
Yuuuuuuuussssss welcome byke Ozi!
As someone who lives in Indiana, I'm unbelievably hyped Indianapolis is getting a Micro Center!
Came across your channel recently, I love the cheaper approach to pc builds and gaming options. Not everybody needs a 40 series and newer CPU’s.
I love Microcenter. I used them to get some of my parts for a $500 Gaming PC that I did.
5600x, B450M-A II, 16GB RAM, 5700XT, 1TB NVMe, 600w PSU
i'm a simple man, i see Oz Pc build video and I press like button
Indianapolis is getting a MicroCenter this summer! I'm so happy I found your channel last month. I always thought gaming PCs had to be $1k+ to meet my needs, but you proved me wrong.
Glad to see a micro center coming near me in Indy, that will save me time and money!
im a simple man. I see Oz uploaded , i clicked the video and it makes the rest of my day
I love my local MicroCenter!! I can spend hours wandering around that store.
Dude you're the Bob Ross of computer building! Thanks for coming back
I'm not even looking to build a pc right now, I just watch your vids cuz they're cozy & relaxing!
Freaking love these budget builds, thanks for looking out for the cheap folks ☺️
I love that case, I've used it on cheap systems and very expensive systems it's a just a great case all around.

Hey man I need to know where plug in the rgb fans on the motherboard for the 500$ build, I’m going to build it but I’m confused on the fans. Thanks
Oz + Micro Center = The Best Collabs EVER!!!
Oz you always put out some great videos. You make it easy for beginners who are for the first time building a pc to understand how to build there own PC. Can't wait for the next video thank you.
It’s just a shame that 99% of people either can’t get to a Micro Centre ….. or live in the US which Micro Centre operates 🤦🤦♂🤦♀
this was my first build ever and i had a lot of trouble following all the cable management. my cpu cooler was different and it was huge plus i have big hands. but thankfully i got everything plugged into the motherboard correctly

Thanks Oz man trying to convince my parents to let me get one 😢. Been asking for 6 years lol
I love how easy Oz is making it look to build, like it is, because way too many people are afraid of building and waste money by buying a pre built system.
I build high-end extravagent water cooled builds but I love this channel. So down to earth and fun
Borderline ASMR PC building. Great video
First, I love your videos ozzy im thinking about building a home server but cant find many budget videos, could you maybe do a video on that?
I literally just built the same pc. Spent $450. Iam trying to flip it now. It games very nicely.
Oz! Always look forward to your videos brother. 😊
Oz you are awesome. This video was really enjoyable and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise as well as your peaceful and loving nature.

Been watching your stuff for a few years now Oz, you're one of my favourite channels, thank you for doing these! Much love
Damn, that's pretty much a free CPU and hard drive from buying a (good) motherboard! Can't argue about that, I'd be all over it.
Wish we had a Microcenter in Oregon.
👍🏆 Sitting in Florida super jelly over your Microcenter visit. I never been to a Microcenter. 😒
Had a great time upgrading a nice Dell optiplex into a lil gaming beast, but this convinced me to buy everything new when I’m ready to upgrade.
I have the same motherboard, CPU and PC case. Great choice for budget-focus builds for sure. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
