      $500 Build:
      Sapphire Pulse RX 570 4GB w/ dual fans - $146 Amazon
      Cougar MX330-X - $40 Amazon
      AsRock B450M Pro4 - $80 Amazon
      Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ - $41 Amazon
      WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM HDD - $40 Amazon
      Ryzen 5 1600 - $100 Amazon
      G.Skill Ripjaws V 8GB (2x4) F4-3200C16D-8GVKB 3200 CL16 - $43 Newegg
      $400 Build:
      Remove the Ryzen 1600, RX 570, and G.Skill Ram and replace with the following parts (You can also exchange the Thermaltake 500W for the 430W variant):
      Ryzen 2200G - $78 Amazon
      G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8) F4-3200C14D-16GVK 3200 CL14 - $120 Newegg
      The $400 build would be equivalent (after a stable all core OC at 3.8 GHz, and a little tightening on the RAM timings) to an i5 4690 and a GTX 750 ti in gaming performance. So ESports titles should be fluid at 1080p high, and most AAA titles are 900p low-med playable. The $500 build is a WAY better option as you will get a great 1080p high experience. As with any budget oriented build, things are always up for change, and little changes in budget can make a HUGE difference in what you can obtain. Trying to get used parts is always a great way to save money, especially by reusing an existing case or getting a used for next to nothing. Doing that alone can save you $40, allowing you to step up to an RX 580 or adding a 240GB M.2 drive to the $500. In the $400 build's case, you can swap the 2200G out for the 2400G giving you 4 extra threads and further helping out your gameplay experience.

      That's too bad. I just bought a Thermaltake Smart ProRGB 650W 80+ Bronze for a new 2600x build 7 months ago. Draws were 7 year warranty and Japanese caps, and it was on sale. I always over spec power supplies so there running in the low/normal zone. It is whisper quiet though. If it was noisier than I imagined it should be, then I would have RMA'd it or got Amazon to replace it. Irritating noise is unacceptable as that could be mean there's other issues. Fortunately being in my late 50's I filter higher frequencies naturally. Be good to yourself and don't suffer the noise because it really shouldn't do that. Also, that's why I went modular, if the PSU goes bad, 4 screws, unplug the cables and off it goes. And the test of a good company is how stressful their RMA system. I've only had to RMA hard drives many years ago and Western Digital was excellent.

    What the heck, I found this "Gaming PC" just now and I was like "Why the heck is a GT 710 doing in a GAMING PC??" and then suddenly this pops up in my recommendations minutes later.
    Seriously, what is that GT 710 doing there and why does the FX-6300 + GT710 variant cost $20 more (w/o discount) when the R3 3200G alone is 1.5-2 times better than the FX-6300 NOT TO MENTION the difference between the GT 710 and the RX 560?

So I decided to just build my own. I got an Enthoo Luxe 2 (I refuse to call it a 719) and now I’m just waiting for Black Friday to pick up most of the components.

    there should be a website that enthusiasts go on and charge people like 40 dollars instead of the 150 that most prebuilts put on top of their systems for building it and stuff to build people PC's. I know I'd be happy to charge that much for a PC build as I enjoy doing it and custom water cooling would be even more fun. There could be like a whole verification process with like a video chat to confirm that you actually can build a PC and you could become a verified seller (which you wouldn't need a degree for you would only have to pass that process). As the website they could take like a small cut of the fee not only for profit but also as money to like keep the servers running.

    $100 in labor, OEM key, and initial Windows installation isn't a bad deal IMO. I spend a lot of time building a computer to make sure it looks good when it's done, and I like to think I'm worth it. It's another reason why independent builders don't make this a full time job because system builders are well established, buy in bulk, get wholesale deals from various companies, and have an assembly line of sorts to get things done faster.

Having now built 2 PCs now, I was definitely the right choice in who to ask about that. It had a Ryzen 5 2600 (pretty okay for a budget system), but only had a GTX 650 in it. I explained to him that it was a big rip off and that the crap computer I had him using when he stopped by my place had had a GTX 760 and still didn't run great. I made 3 good lists of parts around his price point and left him with that. It goes to show that even people who are willing to get into PCs but aren't willing to watch videos on graphics card, performance, system building etc etc will face a tough time when presented with systems that amazon shows to them.

    I use a 550 650 and 750 evga supply and they do the job. They are not the prettiest, but they are solid

    Honestly, the worst part of the PC is that they bothered to include a graphics card at all. The iGPU on the 3200G is very competent, yet the GT710 is trash. In other words, people who forget to plug in the monitor to the graphics card and plug into the motherboard instead will have a better experience.
    Also, the PSU you added to the list was... really bad. No 80+ certification, and group regulated.

    years (and i mean years) ago i bought a pre-built pc from a local home based seller. He convinced me that i had bought a 500mb (yes mb) hard drive - which was a lot when windows 95 was around :) and infact he had installed hard drive compression software on it with a 4x ration so infact my harddrive was only 128mb.
    Scammer everywhere all trying to steal a buck from an honest person..

    I have one even worse than this its the GUA520 by cyber power gaming, I got it for like 700$ about a good 5 or 6 years ago, and they try to keep the same price on an fx-4300 its hilarious, honestly I just want to sell it for like 250 it still works just fine, has windows 10 and I even upgraded the GPU to an rx460 I'm oretty sure it was a gt730 before hand

    The biggest offense would be using a hybrid drive. That shit is awful. That’s basically a slap to a gamers face lmao

    This exact computer is being sold on multiple different places including Best Buy, Office Depot, Walmart, Amazon, etc. The reviews on all of these websites are overwhelmingly positive and suspiciously, most of the reviewers are not verified buyers. I believe that iBuyPower is artificially rating their products with positive reviews.

    For a gaming pc it's bad, for other purposes since it has two gpus there is one advantage you got. You can run two OSes at the same time with a small margin of resources that this comes with.
