Ryzen Budget PC Build #1: APU, Motherboard & RAM
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 янв 2019
- Ryzen 3 2200G PC build using Gigabyte B450M GAMING motherboard. This video is the first in a series of five in which I specify and assemble a low-cost PC with integrated graphics, install Windows and Linux Mint 19.1 (including dual boot), upgrade with a graphics card, and finally install some RGB lighting.

As many of you have noticed, two of the APU pins are slightly bent at about 6:10. This I did notice before inserting the chip, corrected the issue, and all is well. :) Sadly, I did not notice the bent pins in the take of the shot I used until very late in the editing process, or I would have sorted it out in the video as well.
Some have suggested that I “dropped” the chip at about 5:36, and that this caused the damage. This may be true, but I strongly doubt it is the case. Rather than "dropping", I gently tipped the chip onto the surface below, and it fell a very small distance (a few mm at one end, and maybe 20mm at the other). To explain what was going on, I tipped it out to avoid my fingers being in shot too much in the CU. Would I do this again? Well, given the comments here, clearly not. :) And in this video I did say to leave the chip in its packaging and not to take it out as I did to show it in a close up. :)
Almost certainly I damaged the pins because I handled the APU a great deal over many hours filming multiple takes and shots for several videos (such as a forthcoming film called “Explaining CPUs”). And as we can all see here, using a microprocessor as a filming prop can cause problems! They are best left in their packaging or plugged straight into a socket.
Thanks to all of you who were/are concerned. But as we shall see in Part Two, the Ryzen 3 ends up working just fine.
Happy Times & Places,
Chris.
glad i was not the only one that noticed... the moment i saw it. instant TRIGGERED
AMD is full of beans. The bulldozer was not multi core as they advertised and they lied to many people. The intel chips have NO PINS on them to get bent and the pins reside safely on the motherboard. The chip you show is from 2016 that is dated because technology advances every 3 years.Intel is leaps and bounds ahead.
Yo... if you pull it back out. Lapping the CPU and heatsink would be amazing.
@@sterlingbruno5196 um... WTF. you know this is Raven Ridge right? bulldozer was from FX series... this is ryzen. and also, pins on the motherboard are as vulnerable as the pins on the AMD processors, if not they can be even more delicate. its more expensive to fix a motherboard bent or broken pin that is better just to replace the motherboard. not Environmentally friendly here. Not to mention... this is a 2018 CPU, the copyright dates back from 2016 when the Ryzen trademark and copyright was registered.
@@sterlingbruno5196You couldn't be more wrong if you tried Sir.
That's a weird looking rasberry pi
Yes, I am struggling to find the GPIO connector.

I've built a hundred systems over the years, so why am I watching this video? Christopher is just too damned fun to watch while he narrates the whole process. Nice work sir, as always!
exactly, my good man, exactly... i believe the magic of this channel is in pure and undiluted charisma which Christopher posses... very sophisticated voice of PC scene, if you will
I have repaired PC's all my life and I find this RUclips channel so addictive, maybe it's due to the living legend presenting the videos.
"Living legend"? lol he carelessly dropped the CPU onto the table and bent some of the pins. Frankly, I'd expect a lot better from a "living legend".

@@frankzappa3156 You need to chill out. I have no beef with this guy so stop it. I'm a subscriber and watch his content same as you do.
All I'm saying is he's not some "god" like the original post suggested. He's a mortal same as you or I. Just be a fan of him, but don't put him on a pedestal. That's all I'm saying.
@@fatherelijahcal9620 I don't see any bent pins. Bent pins also would have prevented the CPU from going into the socket cleanly.
Awesome vid... Not rushed like other caffeine addicts that do pc builds...
Exactly my sentiments.
Spot on.
Agree my favorite video on the subject so far
Leave it to the computer scientists to build a gaming PC.
He goes at the same pace as I do building PC's. Been doing it for over 20 years but still stop and take in how far we have come and how beautiful they are now. Many people don't do that anymore. Thank you Chris for showing and taking you time on this!
You always do an amazing job with these. Also, thank you for not clouding all the content you do with royalty free music. Sometimes it’s nice to just have someone literally explain things without all of that extra stuff. Hope all is well, thanks again.
"Let's be really wild, and put them on the table there." Gosh, this channel is wholesome. I love it. Genuine personality. Thanks!
My son and I built this PC in late 2020, following all the series steps, and it works! It was the first time for us doing anything like this. Let me explain why it was built so late...I first saw this series in late 2019 and then bought Christopher's suggested components when most were still available (not all purchases matched ones in the video, but I bought his alternative suggestions suggested from the EC website) soon after. Then the parts sat for about a year in my closet. Covid and other diversions got in the way of me actually putting it all together. But Christmas and some father and son time finally took precedent and we built it over the period of two days. This what we used: Masterbox Q300L, B450M D33H motherboard, M.2 SSD for the boot, a 6tb HDD for storage, the Corsair power supply and a GEForce GTX 1650. We also put in a wifi card in one of the PCIe slots. My 15-year old son and I would watch each video and then do the work ourselves. I had enough knowledge of how PCIe works from Christopher's other videos that the wifi card was an easy add. Our biggest problem was that the Q300L box is a bit quirky in layout (especially with the power supply), but some side-Googling helped us figure out how to do it. Thank you for posting this easy-to-follow series. It is so well-shot (great closeups of the motherboard and its connections) and so easy to see what you are doing. You also explain things so well. This all gave us great confidence as we followed along--and the computer works great!!! This is a wonderful adult (and teenager) education channel. BTW, I realize in late 2020 I could do better than the Ryzen 3 chip that we used (same as the video series), but it should be good enough for what we need and I already had purchased the Ryzen 3 long ago. Baby steps in computer building..... We didn't want to deviate too far from Christopher's directions. This process really demystified what makes a computer go and I doubt I will ever buy an off-the-shelf computer again. Happy new year, Christopher, and thanks again for all that you do!
This is all great to hear -- enjoy your new computer! :) Now that you have built one, you will never think of a computer in quite the same way again.
This series will be the one to link to people too intimidated to build their own system! You make it look so easy and explain everything so well!
Thanks. And there is a lot of construction in the next video. But we see every screw, every connector inserted. :)
I want to build a Ryzen 2600 PC, but I'm too intimidated, I'll watch the rest of this series first, then I may attempt it.
I love the smell of a new PC, putting together a new rig and the first switch on is the best part of computing :-)
Agreed! :) The first switch on for this system is included in next week's video.
yep! powering on new electronics creates a smell unlike any other...
This will be the most amazing and useful series for us,thankyou for covering all the minute details which are imp. and are missed by other pc builders on this platform
This is the kind of channel YT should be recommending.......No theatrics, speaks clear and slow, very informative.
Thanks Chris. This video encouraged me to attempt my own build. In the end I went with the Ryzen 5 2400G, 450 chipset motherboard and 16Gb RAM. I built the OS on an Arch base install with Openbox wm. Genuinely, without your three videos on a budget build I wouldn't have had the confidence to try something like this. It's a super channel Chris and a valuable resource. Well done and thanks again.
Thanks for this feedback, which is really great to hear. :)
Thank you so much for these great videos. I look forward to them every Sunday. This morning my son and I watched you as we ate breakfast. I think I will use this latest installment to begin his CompTIA A+ certification training. What an inspiration you are.
The clarity of your video is supreme. I could easily read the numbers on the chip. Great information supplied as well.
For me it has been rare to look forward to a video upload as much as I have this series. You have given me that little nudge to leap into my first build....even to upgrade the RAM and CPU a bit. Am really anticipating next week's release. Thanks so much!
Love it! I've been involved in IT since early 90's and in all that time I've never built my own PC. That's about to change!! Thanks for this! :)
RGB lighting on a Chris Barnatt PC? What universe am I living in?
🤣The one where Chris has learned to adapt to the trend. A little bit of excitement for everyone.
Has he adapted to the trend, or conceded to it?
the answer to his question is obviously: The correct one!
@@psycholocke4090 yep, I'm very happy and excited to share the same and correct universe. 😋
rgb makes your computer faster idiot
Love this series. I can count on my hand the amount of videos available that go into DETAIL building a PC. Most tend to gloss over the steps and assume the viewer is thrilled with the montage. Thanks.
Crisp clear video close ups.
Very smart looking motherboard.
Nice stage 1 build Chris, can't wait for stage 2. Well done 👍
This might be one of the most relaxed build I’ve listened too so far. The way you talk about the computer and its components just scream the passion you have for it. I am taking computer science 10-30 starting in march and want to get a basic idea of what im looking at before the course starts. I love building anything i can get my hands on computers use some of the most delicate touch out of anything I’ve worked on, alongside the most care and thought about not blowing up the parts just by touching them. Ive worked on cars and for certain jobs you just take a crowbar to it, ive worked on houses and for the most part a crowbar is always near by but i cant find it around my computer. Or the fact that my dumbass has never given a thought about static coming off me and frying my pc when i break it open to have a look or clean it (which is due soon ) thank you for the video i subbed, hope you dont mind if i use some of your videos as a cheat sheet or reference to material.
Thanks for the sub. I think and hope you will enjoy the rest of this series -- and other videos here. No problem using them as a "cheat sheet", this channel is widely used in education. :)
Was cool to watch you nerd out over the new parts. It's always nice unboxing new tech!
This is a brilliant breakdown video! Reminds me of all the parts of the motherboard. After all, if you don't muck around with motherboards often, one can tend to forget the 'little' things. Thanks for putting this series together...
Nice video. Everything explained clearly and nothing glossed over. Looking forward to the next installment. 😀
Small point. To avoid crossing the threads on screws, it is a good idea when starting a screw, to slowly turn it the wrong way until you feel the screw drop on the threads. This allows the screw to sit on a full revolution of the thread and therefore the screw should be aligned to the nut.
Any thread helix has a start point, on both the male and female thread. if you get the two start points sitting together, there is nothing to ensure the alignment of the screws. when you back-spin the screw, the start point of the male helix will drop off the start point on the female and you will then have one full revolution of the two thread helixes in contact. As both helixes must, by definition, be aligned to the direction of the screw, the male thread will be aligned to the female.
They should really use machine screws instead of self tapping, AMD cheaping out again... They still use the Athlon clamp cooler for the high end CPU, I use a 2700x system as I prefer their systems from an economic point of view but for a young builder like myself it really annoys me when they should be championing new standards instead.
@@amirpourghoureiyan1637 for the price I can't complain if they cut a few corners.
Amir Pourghoureiyan i do not believe they were self tappers. The only 'improvement' the manufacturer could have made is the addition of a dog-point to ensure alignment of the screw.
@@ronch550 I miss when the brand was something to gauge quality, for a few years now price seems to separate the flawed from the flawless
@@amirpourghoureiyan1637 The mounting screws on the Wraith Spire and Stealth coolers are *not* self-tapping. They are real machine screws so no corners have been cut and nobody cheaped out. What annoys me is when people rant without checking the facts first.
I love your detailed explanations. Zooming the camera to show each part makes all the difference for understanding. I always watch your videos here in Brazil.
Thanks for watching! :)
OUSTANDING!!! loved every second of this one ! and i love the colour of the ram and motherboard ! its all coming together so nicely ... off to watch some more ! thanks !
Absolutely love your videos. I reckon I've been doing the rounds building PCs as long as you have (same age probably) and you do explain things in a very easy to understand and pleasant manner.
After building my PCs with intel CPUs after I moved over to the Pentium III, later Pentium IV and onwards from the AMD K6-III I was very surprised by the performance of the newer AMD Ryzen chips. A lot better price/performance ratio when it comes to your wallet. :) I chose a Ryzen7 2700x about a year ago and I have been very happy with all the threads it has. Especially in Linux it's amazing doing a compile in the back ground while still using the system. Or in Windows editing and rendering while still use it for web browsing. Or just let it rip through a video file encoding it. I love how Intel and AMD are competing for the user's attention. Actually prefer the pins on the CPU and the way the cooler mounts on AMD boards over the Intel sockets. A bent pin on the CPU is easily recovered but a bent pin in a socket isn't.
Remember the old Pentium II cpu's with their slot interface. The best thing with those was the Heatsink and fan were all on the module. Very easy to install. I remember back with the 386 DX40 boards the CPU was built onto the motherboard. Come to think of it I don't think I ever actually used that board and just went from my SX 25 straight to a 486.
I actually repaired a Gigabyte H110 board after a bent pin and only got it working after resetting the CMOS. I'm unsure what happened but it looked like some sort of debris got under the pins (without me ever taking the CPU out, go figure) and in my attempt to remove it, ben a pin. I managed to repair it with a magnifying glass and a sewing needle. I didnt get it perfect but once I installed the CPU it aligned itself, I dunno how or why.
That said.... I've bent pins on the Socket 939 chips before too, or one of them anyway. WAY WAY easier to fix than that single pin on the H110.
This is great professor! Iv been looking to build a pc to help my son start a youtube channel for his birthday and this seems perfect
I love the pace of your videos. Slower than most but not too slow. Just very calming to listen to and I don’t feel intimidated because it’s easy to keep up
As always a great video for anyone that's thinking about building a new PC. Slow and carefully documented with each element of the build explained in detail. Not all RUclips presenters are as professional as you are Chris. For many years to come this build video can and will be used to instruct people on how to build a system that will "Just work" when the switch is turned on. For example you cover Electrostatic discharge (ESD) at the beginning and go over why its necessary , other presenters say very little about ESD and can care less. As a retired bench tech its a joy to see you work! Looking forward to you next video!
Thanks for your kind feedback. Most appreciated.
I'm quite excited for this one! So happy to see Linux!
Excellent Christopher..... you are like a child opening a birthday present....I know the feeling!
Nothing like new computer components....I like the smell of them.... roll on part 2!
But it's always tinged with that nagging doubt.... will it run? Or might it be one of those buggy computers that never quite works right. Doesn't happen often, but does still happen.
I say, well done! Filming on the white backdrop top down at normal speed with commentary, great video! Your the first video that's given me confidence that I can build my own computer with your clear easy to follow instructions.
Good luck with your build.
This channel is the most consistent regarding its video's content, taking into account today's youtube averrage videos layout/scheme its saying a lot. Keep up the good work and don't lose your retro flare.
Very professional presentations. I love the Gigabyte MBs. I've used several over the years
extremely excited for the next video in this series
Chris, I'm very impressed with the sharp focus and resolution of your video camera. The close-ups of your motherboard are fantastic. Very detailed, thank you.
Excellent video, as always. Looking forward to the next installment.
I think everyone loves a pc build tutorial
I just hate when the video ends. Such excellent content. And very helpful as I am planning to build a new computer based on the Ryzen series CPU architecture soon. I was a bit confused by the B350/B450 etc and what they were all about. Now I know! Thanks Explaining Computers!
To use a second gen Ryzen on a B350 chipset board you would have to update the BIOS. Which would require you to insert a first gen Ryzen, run the board, update the BIOS, then use your second gen chip. So it is a far better idea to get a 450 chipset board. :)
@@ExplainingComputers You have just saved me from a major catastrophe, and many other I am sure. :D
@@ExplainingComputers Why did you not hold out a few more months for the 3000 series Ryzen CPU's? They are said to have a significant CPU boost, and better graphics. More cores in all models also.
@@williambaldwin9346 At some point you just have to pull the trigger otherwise you'd be waiting for ever because there's always something better coming soon. As it is we might well see a follow-up where Chris updates the BIOS and installs a new processor.
@@ExplainingComputers Unless you are buying VERY old stock, even A320 motherboards will support a 2200G without a bios flash. Talking from experience last month. If for some reason its not updated, most local computer places will flash a newer bios for (Australian) $20. For a cheap build for someone that wont ever overclock, i would only ever suggest an A320. (think a parents PC or in my case, a VM box running pfSense (a router/firewall os), a xubuntu VM for downloads and also hosting a Unifi controller (for my Wireless access points)
This is just perfect, I was about to start buying components for a custom made PC for Linux and needed some guidance. Explaining Computers had a perfect timing, it saved me a lot of problems.
I've built too many computers to remember, yet I watch this for the Zen of Chris. Very relaxing yet exciting, which is a strangely addictive state of mind. Looking forward to the next part for sure.
Thanks! I'm sure you noticed pins but always really helpful to get so many notification/posts about it LOL
Love the video, always good to get a little reminder how build a computer!!
Very cool idea & a great first installment! Looking fwd to the rest of the series :)
Thanks for a wonderful and clearly explained guide to building Ryzen computer. As always, you do a wonderful job of explaining the "whys" along with the "hows". As I am looking forward to the next installment in the project. Keep up your awesome work!
Gosh! Great video, cant wait for the next one!
I've built with both the 2200g and the 2400g, they are fantastic chips for the money. I can't say how much I appreciate your content and mannerisms.
Thanks for your kind feedback. Compared to high end chips from not that many years, the 2200G and 2400G are amazing as you note.
Wow. What an amazing series of videos. The best thing that you did is ACTUALLY explain stuff. It is a good guide to learn about computers and build them.
Thanks for your kind feedback, appreciated. :)
All that's missing is the smell of those brand new components. You've got me hooked.
I'm an IT professional (backend and UXUI) and love your videos. They're so calm, informative, and enjoyable to watch. Looking forward to seeing you experiment with RGB! As you mentioned your previous RAM video, do you have a plan for a follow-up where you explain additional timings?
I took am looking forward to the RGB stuff. I've not got there yet, although the PC is now running fine now. :)
HOLEY UNDERWEAR! What a smart-looking MoBo/CPU/DDR4 combination! I'll have to start putting together some pesos to replace my old AM3 based computer _very soon._
ExplainingComputers does a Ryzen PC build. Fantastic! I've done a Ryzen 5 and 7 build as a noob, but this series is going to be great to improve my learning, thanks ec!
Amazing presentation skills. I have been building my own desktop computers for over 15 years so nothing here is new but you did a good job keeping my attention.
Thanks. :)
Mr Scissors AND Stanley The Knife. Great video!
As soon as I got the upload notification, I dropped Netflix to jump over.
Excellent! :)
Chris, many thanks for another great video. I have been wanting to build a budget PC for a while but hadn't quite known where to start. Looking very much to the remaining videos and the finished product.
Thanks Paul.
Good timing, I am thinking about building a system soon. Haven't done it since about 2008, good to see the changes these days.
Nice one Ryzen are doing well for the budget PC builds
Yes they are indeed, I'm using the 2200g in my build when it arrives with the rest of the parts
At this point in time the 2700x is the best performance cpus as the intel prices are really... Shitty... In my country the i7 9700k is 120 dollars more then the 2700x and the i9 9900k is about double that or 250 dollars more then the 2700x... It sucks for people who were thinking of a good i7 build...
@@vali69 agree but i7 overclocks way higher like 5.5ghz watercooled or more
@@martinchaush1025 i know it can be overclocked more easily and higher then the ryzen cpus but the price dosent cut it for me and probably most people... Also to get an actual good overclock you would need a good water loop or at least a top of the line aio...

even though i know all of this stuff. i still enjoy just listening/watching anyhow ehehe
Same here. Chris is a brilliant teacher.
yeah very good that's the main reason. some times i do learn the odd new thing which is nice.
Likewise :)!!
it's lovingly made
same.. looked at the video and see Windows and linux with b450 in it... guess I shouldnt have bought an am4 asrock motherboard... they dont support any versio of linux.
so now I'm on my 2nd week putting a pc together when it shoulda taken a day :-\ had I known all the problems with amd shit I would have never tried them out.... (never touched amd before) but in the end run win10 will fix my prob :-\
Another great video Chris. Definitely one I'll be telling my family members to watch when they ask me to build them a new PC.
Dear Chris, I watch your videos each week without fail, and find them both entertaining and reliably informative.
But what practical benefit do you get from this effort. No doubt you have had some master plan in mind all along. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Peter.
Thanks for this. :) I get the practical benefit of earning my living -- I am pretty much a full-time RUclipsr now, being paid advertising revenue from Google.
I just got an Acer Nitro 5 with a Ryzen 2500U 2 weeks ago and I already ran Space Quest 3 on it. It amazes me how I first played this game on my PC/XT-compatible NEC V20-based PC back in the early 90's.. in *CGA!!* And now it runs great on both my Ryzen and my FX-8350.
I just love how AMD is the alternative CPU supplier of the PC world. No Intel for me.
Enjoy your new rig, good Sir.
Thanks Chris. Another enjoyable video.
Looking forward to the rest of this series. I enjoyed building a PC so much I did another one 6 months later!
What a great look! That motherboard is pretty nice looking. The red looks great :)
That CPU is really something, my first build was a Z80, 40pin DIL! Really looking forward to the next installments, hopefully very soon! Bob
Part Two uploads next Sunday, ending with a working PC.
It's not everyday you build a PC. Exciting as frick!
I was so excited to watch this. Almost like it was my build, lol. Great video, like all of yours are.
Christopher, I really appreciate the pace of the video; gentle and understandable, nothing rushed. Of all the upcoming segments related to this build, the part I'm most looking forward to is hopefully one on the settings that have to be changed in the BIOS, for instance (to give just two examples) the settings related to RAM and the hard drives. ALL the so-called tuts in YT skip that part!!! Please, please dedicate an entire video to just that? Thank you :)
I will delve into the BIOS as needed in Part Three (well, we see it briefly at the end of Part Two as well). Though I don't think much will need to change.
That is a beautifully laid out motherboard. Kudos to the engineers at Gigabyte.
I agree.
I was surprised when shopping around for motherboards around 70-90 USD as there were quite a few B450M ones (mid range chipsets) which had a ton of features and seemed quite user friendly. I ended up going for a MSI B450M Gaming Plus, and it's a awesome little board!
Dude. Love your voice and explanation!
Oh man...you need to post these videos at the same time! Such a tease! I can't wait for the rest in the series!....Very awesome stuff. Reminds of of the good ol' days when the small company I worked for built all servers from scratch. I might just have to take on this build myself.
I'm currently working on the edit of Part Two. An extensive video, that ends with a powered-up PC. Will upload this Sunday. :)
You have the most helpful video ever.. I'm 100% new to trying to build a PC and the lingo is all new to me when it comes to what each piece of equipment does..
Good luck with your build -- hopefully this series will help you out.
2400 MHz memory will do fine but I recommend getting 2666 MHz or even 2800 MHz with the 2200G/2400G. 3000 MHz will work for most people but anything over 2933 MHz on first gen Ryzen is considered an overclock.
that is absolutely correct. but in a budget build the performance gain due to higher clock speeds on the RAM are marginal.
@TechNotesStuff APu s are 1gen behind the others 2200G is built on 14nm, 3200g is built on 12nm , but when the next APU come out? And why cant I Buy a 3400Ge at retail even 2400ge is invisible ?
Yes, pc builds are always cool!

AMD's Ryzen Integrated Graphics sure do have similar performance to a NVIDIA GTX 750. ;)
Quite impressive for integrated graphics, honestly.
Yes, it is amazing what can be achieved with integrated graphics these days.
A better comparison is the GT1030, or the RX550, both of which are for sale currently, rather than being 5 years old. Neither of which are gaming cards, but are suitable for upgrading Intel iGPU PC. These days, 1080p 'light' gaming is expected. Frankly, not all that impressed when a discrete, passively cooled, low-profile budget GPU can routinely beat Vega 8. That puts it just about where AMD integrated graphics have always been, starting with the (ATI) X300 about 15 years ago.
@Rob_Semi-Nerdly Good points. I guess I was looking at the comparison between Vega graphics and an obsolete and much unloved GPU from years past. The fact the commenter chose an NVidia card, rather than AMD (which I found a current-gen one that benches fairly closely as a comparison) seemed more than a bit specious. Yes, let's give props to AMD for creating a desirable product, but not go out of our way to find meaningless comparisons to artificially buoy up the product. But my main point is the Vega graphics is not revolutionary or break-through, merely evolutionary, keeping up with Moore's law and nothing more. The real loss is not moving beyond 1080p as *the* mainstream resolution about 4-5 years ago.
Thanks...Really good video with some of the best camera work I've seen anywhere. I loved seeing you use a ground strap to absolutely prevent static issues during the build; wish everyone would follow your direction.
Thanks for your kind feedback.
I've seen many pc builds yours was exceptional, & appreciating all the Computer Components & Theri Worth which was Nice👌🏻
Looks like a decent build! Also fan of Gigabyte boards, but I don't mind Asus as well. Currently I have a full ATX monster but will never go that way again. Nowadays I prefer mATX or even ITX. I don't mind having 2 DIMMs instead of 4, since 16Gb of RAM is all I need right now. Maybe 32 in the future, but this will fit just nicely in 2 DIMMs with 16 Gb per DIMM. I also learned to appreciate power efficiency of newer components - it's something you get to appreciate when living on your own for a significant period of time.
When paying for your own electric... You do appreciate less energy going in heat waste, lower temps etc. Also means more reliability when running for long periods of time.
A few months ago I upgraded my PC with all new components including a Ryzen 5 2600 6 core and an MSI motherboard. My motherboard also has LED capability so looking forward to that video. In the meantime, this series I will be checking to see if there is anything I can improve on my recent upgrade. Some of us are just born to tinker, I do the same with my 3D Printers etc, even my router got the tinker treatment. Nothing is out of bounds in my house :-)
If you want to upgrade your toaster, check out Colin Furze.
@@bigjoeangel :-) Yeah I sub to Colin too and saw that, he does some awesome stuff.
More RGB equals higher clocks speeds for your CPU.
Don't forget to add RGB to your Ram, SSD, AIO radiator, and power supply. Adding RGB to your power supply will take a 500 watt and turn it into a 800 watt. Matter of fact everywhere you can put RGB you can expect reasonable performance increase. Your PC should be blinking and strobe lighting like the sun for optimal performance.
@@bradmundies425 I'm not sure it's true that RGB LEDs increase power lol. But that don't mean I won't :-)
thanks for doing a true budget build. Too many channels claim to be making budget builds but they end up costing $1000
This could tempt me to continue saving towards a Ryzen build. Excellent explanation.
When he dropped the CPU at desk my hearth just skipped a beat
Sorry about that. I did say not to do it! :) I was trying to minimise my fingers in shot.
@@ExplainingComputers You should have dropped it onto some polyester shag for extra excitement. LOL
Probably an imitation of the Linus Tech Tips method, where, among other things, Linus dropped and damaged a US $10,000 Xeon Platinum 8180 Processor. Now, we'll all have to start doing it.
I've not seen that Linux Tech Tips video. See my pinned comment. :) I am very certain that tipping the chip down a few mm did not damage the pins.
and he bent a pin as a result. luckily they're more durable than people think.
Just theoretical here, I was looking in cex at pc parts;
R5 1600x £130
Gtx 1060 £150
Generic gigabyte mobo £40-50, let’s say 50
Ram: Corsair vengeance 8gb £50
Storage: 1tb hdd £20
That’s £400 which is incredibly cheap for its performance
Thanks for this , I have selected these parts on my Amazon list. My wife's parents are needing a new computer soon, this will be great! Keep up the cool videos
Good luck with your build. :)
Engaging and entertaining, as well as clear and precise, covered all I need to know to make first PC - thank you
Excellent video!!!
Bravo for the explanations
Nice, looking forward to the rest of the videos Chris!
looking forward to the rest of the video series. thank you
Oh, I thought it's well worth mentioning that those USB 3.1 ports are in fact gen1, so 5 Gbit/s instead of 10 Gbit/s on 3.1 gen2. It is really confusing, I know. This is marketing again for you, making it seem you have faster ports, but instead it's basically the same as USB 3.0, just renamed to fool people...
Great, I was waiting for this video. It was 1 min late :)
I would love to buy a Ryzen. But I can still do everything with my very old I5 2500K. Why is it all so expensive, good there`s SBC`s :)
Are you now a gamer with a gaming motherboard?
I made a video about an Arduino Starter Kit. I got it for free, I quickly made something with multiple components, and show how to program it. It was fun to film, I tried some new things.
Next week I`ll go to the open source fair FOSDEM, I can`t wait.
Great video as always. Your video`s always give a very plesant vibe, I don`t know what it is, but you`ve got it. Greetings, NicoD
Thanks Nico. I used to game, many years ago. But my eyes and fingers cannot take it these days. Enjoy the OS fair. :)
It's a very simple and budget setup, however I love your presentation and I watched the whole video happily.
This guy is in the opposite spectrum of "Linus, the drama king". Educational, to the point and informative.
