I've used the same plan to build my gaming rig : A friend of mine was getting rid of a Vostro 660 i5 2320 6g ram 2to HDD, with the exact same case, she said it wasn't working anymore. So i took it home, booted it and it ran just fine, however their windows 7 hdd was plagued with an impressive amount of crapware. So after a fresh install of windows 7, a 250€ 144hz freesync monitor, a 250€ RX 480, 8 gigs of Hyper X DDR3 (45€) and a 65€ G550M PSU from Cooler Master, i had a great gaming experience for myself, for merely half the price of a comparable rig bought brand new (610€ total, monitor included). I am not even sure if the old Sandy Bridge i5 in there bottlenecks my RX 480 at all. Can't complain. These kind of cheap PC builds from ebay you see on YT tech channels can actually work wonders.
Great video and that 620 is one I picked up at recycle with no side panel and one door on front missing . Had every thing init and running windows 7 pro. Well here is the good part, it all worked and now living in a nice clean ACER case with windows 10 pro connected to a 55 inch TV . Almost forgot the best part , I got it for $8 . --- Always good to watch your videos --- Also First 65 or Older
Cool Moo5e yeah but more and more languages dont require ; anymore Most of them still do, but some dont I think a better comparison would be mispell one word and it all fails But that wasnt what i was going for, thats a common issue, i was going for more like not knowing and being familiar with all the functions or watching a tutorial and having no idea how it works

After you unplug your PC, press the power button. It will likely turn on for a second before shutting off due to a small amount of electricity still stored in the psu.
this is the first ever video about budget PC building I watched. I followed this build guide with a GT1030. then I upgraded its power supply, bought at GTX 960, swapped in an i5 2400, added 4GB of DDR3 and an SSD. had that little beast for about a year and sold it. used the money + my own savings to upgrade to a GTX 1070, i7 7700 and 16GB of DDR4. thanks Ozzy for getting me into PC building. its the most rewarding hobby I've ever had :))
Video caught my attention as I have done something very similar with a dell inspiron 630. It came with an i3 and 4gb of ram, but that was easily upgraded to 8gb with an i5 for about $60. Slap in a 1050 ti and an ssd, and its happily playing bf1 at 1080p and high-ish settings right before me right now.
Please note that old motherboards have compatibility issues with newer graphics cards, specially Radeon cards, so ensure that you get a system with a motherboard that can take a newer card without giving you errors.
Great vid! Started watching your channel via watching the original $150 ozbox build vid and will be attempting my own ozbox in the near future using an HP DC5850 that i have had kicking around here for a couple years now after it was replaced with a custom build from a local shop last fall.

upgraded to 2600 from a core2quad about a year and it has been doing amazing. I first ran it with a 750ti and now run with a rx470. It does everything I need it to do flawlessly and will upgrade maybe in 2 years once I get a higher refresh monitor.
+Andre i wouldnt pick any of these and rather build one yourself because 1. They all have 3gb of vram which some games would struggle to hit ultra and i would simply go for 6gb version +better future proof 2. They all have shit amd old proccesor and upgrade path wouldn't be as possible as much as the best ones ryzen series use AM4 socket so i wouldnt go for any of those
I did this same thing but with a 1050ti, and 2 weeks later I bought an i5 3470 CPU for $55 on ebay and slapped it in. Works great with the factory power supply aswell. Runs PUBG with textures and AA both on high at 70fps average (shadows, and the other crap on very low like everyone else)... 3rd gen i5 3470s can turbo up to 3.6ghz and are very easy to find.. It can run all 4 cores at 3.4ghz which is substantially faster than a 3rd gen i3 running only 2 cores at 3.3ghz.... BTW, when going from an i3 to an i5 on a dell motherboard , turbo boost disabled by default, don't forget to turn it on!
Heavy Palmz I would get a 1050, because from what I've heard a lot is that the 400 and 500 series of cards don't always work well with the Sandy Bridge processors, which is what I believe happened in this video when he had to troubleshoot for 5 days.
R0B0boy Tech Deals has many RX 460s and they don't always work with Sandy Bridge chips. Also, he hypothesized that, and considering that card is not powerful enough mine, let alone at a reasonable rate, I doubt his hypothesis is right.
TheGrayGhost just looked into it and sometimes the 460s have issues with non-uefi bios motherboards. Updating the bios on the mb or 460 seems to fix it. Sandy bridge came out around the same time it became standard with most mb manufacturers so might be that these cheapo dell/hp/lenovo motherboards are also causing the incompatibility issue
R0B0boy Tech Deals has many videos about the RX 460 and 560, so it would be hard to find, but AMD has said that the card doesn't work with non-UEFI boards, and these Sandy Bridge chips use Legacy. Also, he did not reinstall the BIOS that the card comes with, he installed a modified BIOS.
I picked up a dell optiplex 3020 with an i5 4590 for $80 in my area, aside from the need of a 24-to-8-pin connector this machine has done really well with my 750ti
Just came across your channel there. Like the way you portray the content for novices. Dude,I have to say - you are the first coloured guy I have ever seen do a pc video. LIke ever! It is nice to see. I had actually been wondering why there was only white guys posting them. Keep going as you have a way about you that people can relate to.
Future Pc gamer "first colored" that can be took as racism by 2 means, by thinking he's saying white people are "colorless" and i hope i dont have to talk to you about what i mean by that, and by him being surprised that "colored" people can do reviews.
I found an HP 6300 Pro MT with 8gb installed upgradable to 32 gb, 450 gb hard drive and an i3 3220 at 3.30 GHz upgradable to an i7 with W10 installed for $67 and $10 shipping on eBay. I upgraded to a 600 watt PS for $45 and I got a new MSI RX 560 Aero ITX 4gb for $129 and $6 shipping. So yeah, pretty close at $257. I'm building this as a flight simulator and I found a used HOTAS for $39 off of eBay too. New video cards are the price killer with all the mining stuff. They sure drove the prices up.
Be sure when you buy these business class prebuilts that you check the motherboard connection. Many of these boards have proprietary motherboard power connections that are often 6, 8, or 12 pins that require proprietary power supplies. There are adapters that you can buy that will convert and 8pin socket to a 24pin connection but it is worth noting you check this prior to ordering all your parts. I'd recommend the Lenovo ThinkCentre M81/M91P series as everything is standard.
The typical bs you hear from trolls, "You need to spend at least $1000 to get a good gaming PC", "PC's too expensive, console are cheap and have good graphics", "I prefer to sit on my couch and play with a controller".
Depends on what you consider to be good. This is certainly an ok, functional one, but I won't call it good. I spent a lot more so I can max the settings on a more demanding display. Thou if that's what they are talking about... how could they possibly stand console, because that's certainly not up to the "$1000 good" standard. This one already matches the performance of most console fairly well. (thou due to better optimization on console, probably not quite the same yet)
This is preeeettty much where I have always started with builds. The motherboard and cpu barely ever matter when it comes to a medium to high setting, 720p -1080p gaming pc. I've got a Core 2 Duo in a cool ass case that has a weird HUGE 120mm funnel type air flow setup that blows the air right thru the CPU heatsink. I wish someone knew what I'm talking about lol. I can't wait to build it.
If you have a FreeSync monitor, then no. Because you're gonna be constantly below monitor refresh rate anyway. 45-50 FPS will be much smoother with FreeSync.
exactly. the GTX 1050 or RX 460 are both budget mainstream gamer cards. They are not very powerful, freesync is considerably cheaper than a g-sync monitor. Since the RX 460 or GTX 1050 will mostly be in the 45-75FPS range a freesync monitor with a RX460 makes a ton of sense!
9:36 this doesn't really have much to do with Sandy Bridge, it has everything to do with the death of Moore's law. If you don't know who Gordon Moore is or what "Moore's law" refers to I recommend learning about it.
This is literally exactly what I did for my brothers PC. We bought a 500 dollar Dell with a 6th gen i5 and 12(!) GB of RAM, and a $10 (thrift store) unused GT 730 and I just slapped it in and it works fine due to the low 30w tpd. It plays the majority of games at 60 fps + on 720p high settings, so he's satasfied.
I have one of these Dell 990's that I upgraded with a Rosewill 630w Green PSU, i7 2600 CPU, 16GB Samsung DDR3-1600, EVGA GTX 660 SuperClocked, 240GB SSD, 2TB SSHD, 1TB HDD. I also have a pcie usb 3.0 card installed. It's pretty fast for an older pc.
ziedny Ganteng ganteng depends on what console you want to kill. A Xbox one S has a 4K Blu ray player that costs almost 200€ new, and I got the console with games for 220€ new, so that's pretty hard to beat
😉 Guys, heres another tip OZ didnt mention, you can use the Dell Power Supply! Just get a cheap single slot super low power baby graphics card like an old 8800 or new lowprofile 1030. Its all you need to play House of the Dead, Lego Series, Half Life, etc! You wud b surprised how much u can game for so little! 😍 At the very least u shud always keep around a low power card, to test any old computer u bought, that way you dont start investing in a new power supply and expensive graphics card just to find out something really wrong with the MB CPU RAM! 😱
He literally told you how to build it and he benchmarked it, yet you're just like "Hey can I have this for free"? Stop being desperate, it doesn't look good.
You have a really nice channel, since you are using pretty understandable methodologies to make the point on things we usually asking. I was indeed thinking, how much different two systems might perform, with same specs, but having one exclusively for gaming, like just plain windows and a few games, and another with certain amount of software, like office, photoshop, video editing soft and the kind of stuff people can have in a multi-purposed PC.
Funny thing is that's my exact system and I did this same thing last year using a GTX 750 TI and an RX 500 watt power supply (immediatly regretted buying that big of a Power Supply when I found out how much power graphics cards actually use.) for my birthday. Aaaaand it's almost my birthday again. Pretty big coincidence.
Justus did you have that dell inspiron too? So you don't recommend buying a new power supply cuz the basic one (300 watt) is enough? Thanks for your answer.
Same here, friend got a $500 console, but most of it is a flashy case and LEDs. I tried some indie games and wanna give pc gaming a chance. Not flash, but enough performance to get me started to see if I like it.
I usually play games on low to unsure 60 fps at least. But games like MGSV, Fallout 4, Star Wars Battlefront (2015), Watch Dogs, and Assassin's Creed IV all run just fine with a mixture of Medium and High settings. If this is your only option, it'll do you just fine.
GTX 1060 works fine on EVGA 450B. I own both and have used them together. The 1060 is in a system with a SeaSonic M12II right now, but not because it ever had issues in the system with the 450B.
Haha a 4:09 i thought you literally meant you weren't limited to 4-5 graphics cards running at once with the 450. I was like i sure hope you dont try that! Nice video man as always!
Definately get a modular power supply if you're not going to be powering more than what's on the motherboard, 1 storage drive, and a graphics card. You'll have the benefit of removing cords you don't need. That way, it's not the biggest cord mess in the world.
Microsoft has finally given Dell the ok to let you download the recovery image in ISO format for Client OS, in case you need that for an OS on one of these budget builds in the future. It's in the typical Drivers & Downloads section on the support site under Operating System.
Great video as always Oz, I too had to troubleshoot a GT 730 in an hp slimline and I ended up having to upgrade to windows 10 from 7 in order to fix crashing and sudden fps drops to 0. I personally would have stuck with the stock 300W PSU and gone for a 2nd gen i5 or another 4gb RAM with the extra cash but you probably shouldn't take it from someone who's using a GTX 1050 with a 240W PSU xD. Maybe test the pc with the stock psu for a week or hell even a day if you feel like it.
This is why i love watching videos made by black and ausies. They give me all the information that i need. Love your videos man, just subscribe earlier.
what do you think of my backup pc so far?: 8gb stick of hyperX ram, 500 gb hard drive, gt 730 2gb, i5 2400. I have all of these for 75$. Is that good deal/good build?
I am totally a HUGE fan of your work for the longest time now! Your projects are INSPIRING as well as intriguing at times too! I wanna join your Discord Community but it seems all the LINKS to such are invalid it states. I also have a gaming pc I'd like to DONATE to you to work on and do whatever you see fit for a lucky person or for yourself. Let me know your thoughts? Thanks for being AWESOME and goodluck in future endeavors...
Alot of cards are usually compatible with old pre-built motherboards but just in case make sure it is. my 1050ti wasn't able to work with an my hp pavilion from 2010 that also runs a sandy bridge i3. Other solutions that I could have done was update my bios but unfortunately I can't do sometimes a motherboard can just be too old to support new hardware
In your Afterburner on-screen data it's better to remove the CPU total load display because you already have per-core load displays there and it's better to add the vRAM usage display. At least that's what I think.
i built a budget gaming pc with an i5 4690, 12gb ram, gtx 1050 ti and a 500gb sshd. it cost me 270 dollars, the psu was some random hp 350 watt 80 plus gold rated psu, it came with 4gb ram i threw in 8gb of ddr3 i got for 30 dollars and i was done lol, paid 110 dollars for the base system and 130 for the gpu
tbh, this is only possible in the US. In the EU people still ask between 10-120$ for an RX460.. might fight anything around cheap but still. Here we better by a dell or hp prebuild and just add a gpu that doesn't need a 6 pin to stay cheap. Without trying to swap the psu or hdd.
I have that exact Dell desktop in i5 variant with some AMD graphics (don't know the model) and it was still in warranty until recently when it ran out and I got it in 2012
wait did you call it Dell Vostro or something I am sure it is the Dell Inspiron 620 (and I googled it on google images to confirm it and that desktop appears)
Damn I got a hp 6300 for 100$ +16$ shipping and it was rocking win7, i5 3470,4gb ram, and 500gb hdd also it came with a hp mouse and keyboard. I put a 8gb ddr3 1600mhz in it and evga gtx 1050 ti 4gb and it runs very well. Total cost was $340.
Ak47 It works well I done the same as this video i3 2100,8gb of ram and a 1tb hdd for £90 and the 1050ti for £130 no need to change the psu as it runs on a 300 watt.... Games run great for the price.
Hey Oz it looks like you might have been having the same issue I did with my RX460 where the GPU usage shown is wrong and just flicks between 0-100%. You can change the afterburner settings to fix it and better show the CPU bottleneck in some games. You have to enable "Unified GPU Usage monitoring" Source - www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/52xp5j/psa_if_youre_using_msi_afterburner_and_the_gpu/
dell doesn't put bad quality PSUs in there systems, they do put the lowest watt nessary, fyi the same companies that make PSUs for dell also make them for servers, so the quality is fine, it's just the feature set
I know some of the Dell’s have odd connectors and I have certainly experienced nom-standard Dell power connectors that make using a standard PSU impossible without converters. Did you have any connector problems?
I ran into the problem with the bios and the graphics card before on three different builds like this 2 Dells and 1 HP. I think its just a problem with the AMD drivers when it come to prebuilt systems. In one case the Dell came with an AMD card like yours did and still wouldn't accept the new one. But in all cases I was able to get an NVidia card to work. Theirs just something with the bios on older prebuilt systems and newer AMD cards. I almost have to go with NVidia every time or suffer through the trouble shooting as you did. Good video.

After you unplug your PC, press the power button. It will likely turn on for a second before shutting off due to a small amount of electricity still stored in the psu.
dogboy0912 I always do this when building. It gets most of the electricity out of the capacitors and makes building much safer.
Dankerino Nicherino Lol wut how does it make it faster

Sooooo, it's $100 cheaper than a console with the same performance? What a surprise!
Fym same performance every game on console is caped at 30 frames
no not every game is capped at 30. it depends on the game.

Be very careful buying used brand name desktops. Some have non standard ATX connectors. You will be stuck with the power supply you get.
i have a i7 8core dell and a adapter 8 pin to 24 and it works with my gtx 1070
This is exactly what i did. prebuild, 4th gen i5, 16 gigs of ram, new power supply & a EVGA 970 SSC. Can't wait to get to gaming
Do the 1060 test! Also would it be worth spending an extra $10 on a rx560? Or maybe a 1050?
Heavy Palmz I would get a 1050, because from what I've heard a lot is that the 400 and 500 series of cards don't always work well with the Sandy Bridge processors, which is what I believe happened in this video when he had to troubleshoot for 5 days.
source? Never heard about sandy bridge cpus not working with RX gpus before. The issue was a modded bios, he said so himself in the video
R0B0boy Tech Deals has many RX 460s and they don't always work with Sandy Bridge chips. Also, he hypothesized that, and considering that card is not powerful enough mine, let alone at a reasonable rate, I doubt his hypothesis is right.
TheGrayGhost just looked into it and sometimes the 460s have issues with non-uefi bios motherboards. Updating the bios on the mb or 460 seems to fix it. Sandy bridge came out around the same time it became standard with most mb manufacturers so might be that these cheapo dell/hp/lenovo motherboards are also causing the incompatibility issue
R0B0boy Tech Deals has many videos about the RX 460 and 560, so it would be hard to find, but AMD has said that the card doesn't work with non-UEFI boards, and these Sandy Bridge chips use Legacy. Also, he did not reinstall the BIOS that the card comes with, he installed a modified BIOS.
I picked up a dell optiplex 3020 with an i5 4590 for $80 in my area, aside from the need of a 24-to-8-pin connector this machine has done really well with my 750ti
Just came across your channel there. Like the way you portray the content for novices. Dude,I have to say - you are the first coloured guy I have ever seen do a pc video. LIke ever! It is nice to see. I had actually been wondering why there was only white guys posting them. Keep going as you have a way about you that people can relate to.
Nepalese Jam thanks man!!
you from nepal?
you are my favourite tech RUclipsr plz keep going and making great videos:)
Nepalese Jam Thats fucking racist
Future Pc gamer "first colored" that can be took as racism by 2 means, by thinking he's saying white people are "colorless" and i hope i dont have to talk to you about what i mean by that, and by him being surprised that "colored" people can do reviews.
Not sure if you get this a lot but one of the highlights of your videos is usually the music you play: always so nice (Y)
You should try adding 4gb of ram to the core 2quad GT 1030 pc (can't remember the name of it lol)
Can you still build it with the same price in 2018?
I found an HP 6300 Pro MT with 8gb installed upgradable to 32 gb, 450 gb hard drive and an i3 3220 at 3.30 GHz upgradable to an i7 with W10 installed for $67 and $10 shipping on eBay. I upgraded to a 600 watt PS for $45 and I got a new MSI RX 560 Aero ITX 4gb for $129 and $6 shipping. So yeah, pretty close at $257. I'm building this as a flight simulator and I found a used HOTAS for $39 off of eBay too. New video cards are the price killer with all the mining stuff. They sure drove the prices up.
@ Mo Ronik , windows 10 keys are only 10 dollars on ebay...
@Supersop mans responded 2 years later :o
Be sure when you buy these business class prebuilts that you check the motherboard connection. Many of these boards have proprietary motherboard power connections that are often 6, 8, or 12 pins that require proprietary power supplies. There are adapters that you can buy that will convert and 8pin socket to a 24pin connection but it is worth noting you check this prior to ordering all your parts. I'd recommend the Lenovo ThinkCentre M81/M91P series as everything is standard.
The typical bs you hear from trolls, "You need to spend at least $1000 to get a good gaming PC", "PC's too expensive, console are cheap and have good graphics", "I prefer to sit on my couch and play with a controller".
DJHeroMasta but majority of the games are priced at $60 and buy add another $200 for a cheap and good laptop.
Depends on what you consider to be good. This is certainly an ok, functional one, but I won't call it good.
I spent a lot more so I can max the settings on a more demanding display.
Thou if that's what they are talking about... how could they possibly stand console, because that's certainly not up to the "$1000 good" standard. This one already matches the performance of most console fairly well. (thou due to better optimization on console, probably not quite the same yet)
A 怖い Potato Why do you have to buy a netbook and a gaming PC? It's a great combo but why?
Chris D its a console... not a pc....
Damn troll. Shoo, get outta here!
This is preeeettty much where I have always started with builds. The motherboard and cpu barely ever matter when it comes to a medium to high setting, 720p -1080p gaming pc. I've got a Core 2 Duo in a cool ass case that has a weird HUGE 120mm funnel type air flow setup that blows the air right thru the CPU heatsink. I wish someone knew what I'm talking about lol. I can't wait to build it.
GTX 1050 is better choice to be honest.
Slownix - It depends.
If you have a FreeSync monitor, then no. Because you're gonna be constantly below monitor refresh rate anyway. 45-50 FPS will be much smoother with FreeSync.
exactly. the GTX 1050 or RX 460 are both budget mainstream gamer cards. They are not very powerful, freesync is considerably cheaper than a g-sync monitor. Since the RX 460 or GTX 1050 will mostly be in the 45-75FPS range a freesync monitor with a RX460 makes a ton of sense!
Good luck finding a 1050 for $80
Slownix - Then it wouldn't be a 200$ PC anymore.
9:36 this doesn't really have much to do with Sandy Bridge, it has everything to do with the death of Moore's law. If you don't know who Gordon Moore is or what "Moore's law" refers to I recommend learning about it.
AM4 apu? AMD A12-9800? A8-9600 4 cores for $60?OVERCLOCKING? I think yes ;)
Skunkeee I have yet to find an am4 apu new. All the ones I found were used and from china.
Skunkeee proud of being amd gayfan?
what exactly are you trying to accomplish by saying this bs?
This is literally exactly what I did for my brothers PC. We bought a 500 dollar Dell with a 6th gen i5 and 12(!) GB of RAM, and a $10 (thrift store) unused GT 730 and I just slapped it in and it works fine due to the low 30w tpd. It plays the majority of games at 60 fps + on 720p high settings, so he's satasfied.
Heh $200 in amurica, $800 in nz. Fucking hell
Nah.
I have one of these Dell 990's that I upgraded with a Rosewill 630w Green PSU, i7 2600 CPU, 16GB Samsung DDR3-1600, EVGA GTX 660 SuperClocked, 240GB SSD, 2TB SSHD, 1TB HDD. I also have a pcie usb 3.0 card installed. It's pretty fast for an older pc.
Guys should i go with an i5 3rd gen OR i3 6th/7th gen ?
RepsForJ3sus i think i3 7th gen
go new generation i3 skylakes, they are far faster but if you take consider cores then older i5
i dont know much about cpu's i just want to know wich is better for gaming
depends on the games you'll play
all kind of games , from esports games to battlefield 1 , pubg ..
absolutely love the fact that you used casiopea for the benchmark music
Can u build $300 console killer?
ziedny Ganteng ganteng yes
ziedny Ganteng ganteng no
yes
ziedny Ganteng ganteng depends on what console you want to kill. A Xbox one S has a 4K Blu ray player that costs almost 200€ new, and I got the console with games for 220€ new, so that's pretty hard to beat
Jonathan But who needs a blu ray player? for gaming
😉 Guys, heres another tip OZ didnt mention, you can use the Dell Power Supply! Just get a cheap single slot super low power baby graphics card like an old 8800 or new lowprofile 1030. Its all you need to play House of the Dead, Lego Series, Half Life, etc! You wud b surprised how much u can game for so little! 😍 At the very least u shud always keep around a low power card, to test any old computer u bought, that way you dont start investing in a new power supply and expensive graphics card just to find out something really wrong with the MB CPU RAM! 😱
Can I have this PC please

@@rjroque9421 we are 3 years late, lmaoooooooo

He literally told you how to build it and he benchmarked it, yet you're just like "Hey can I have this for free"? Stop being desperate, it doesn't look good.
I don't know why, but I've always liked the look of those dell cases. Most are terrible for airflow, but the aesthetic is pleasing.
Would this run fortnite?
Rhqw maybeeee
Excellently
if it can run r6 at 93 fps average, then no shit it can run fortnite dumbass
Soaring Doge chill tf out
It never even occurred to me to go this route. This is a perfect solution, thank you so much!
I got a 700w psu 80 plus bronze for 33 dollars
ok
Harry Cadman hey mrbragger, i couldnt care less!
Where
You have a really nice channel, since you are using pretty understandable methodologies to make the point on things we usually asking.
I was indeed thinking, how much different two systems might perform, with same specs, but having one exclusively for gaming, like just plain windows and a few games, and another with certain amount of software, like office, photoshop, video editing soft and the kind of stuff people can have in a multi-purposed PC.
can i3 run fifa 17 and watch dogs 2 cuz they dont run on deul core !
game tech i3 is dual core
If you wanna play Fifa theres a bigger problem than *Dual cores
game tech hyperthreading assists that
my i3 2100 and gtx 770 run watch dogs 2 at 60fps 1080p medium, don't listen to the recommended specs, they are usually wrong
Dool kore
Funny thing is that's my exact system and I did this same thing last year using a GTX 750 TI and an RX 500 watt power supply (immediatly regretted buying that big of a Power Supply when I found out how much power graphics cards actually use.) for my birthday. Aaaaand it's almost my birthday again. Pretty big coincidence.
Justus did you have that dell inspiron too? So you don't recommend buying a new power supply cuz the basic one (300 watt) is enough?
Thanks for your answer.
Justus How is it running now? I’m thinking about building this machine and I want to know if it lives up to the settings he put the games on.
Same here, friend got a $500 console, but most of it is a flashy case and LEDs. I tried some indie games and wanna give pc gaming a chance. Not flash, but enough performance to get me started to see if I like it.
Actually I upgraded it anyways just to be safe. Eh, if you can't upgrade your PSU and you stick with a GTX 750 Ti, you should be fine.
I usually play games on low to unsure 60 fps at least. But games like MGSV, Fallout 4, Star Wars Battlefront (2015), Watch Dogs, and Assassin's Creed IV all run just fine with a mixture of Medium and High settings. If this is your only option, it'll do you just fine.
Damn man could you not have picked some better music for the benchmarks? That was almost unbearable to sit through.
LegitBritish lol
Casiopea is dope my dude, but it's not for everyone. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the vid!
OzTalksHW hi, I have a question regarding the mobo, are they reliable? Does it run a risk of dying out on you and taking one or more components?
Wouldn't you get a copyright strike or something using this music?
LegitBritish I liked it
0:00 this is new . never seen intro with peace sign before 😂
most of the black dudes have ps4 honsetly
Roman Kozlovskiy duh , xbox isnt 1080p
Usually Asians and white people have Gaming PC's and PlayStation is the best Console so us brothas know what's up
CUT GOD it's 4k
Atleast u guys have that us mexicans still playing on a second flea market xbox 360 or ps3
GTX 1060 works fine on EVGA 450B. I own both and have used them together. The 1060 is in a system with a SeaSonic M12II right now, but not because it ever had issues in the system with the 450B.
First
Would love to see you try it with the 1060. Great video, thanks for putting the time into it.
Reminds me of my current rig. It's no RX 460 but it is an i3 prebuilt that I upgraded the PSU and GPU on! Runs pretty similar too
People are mining using R7 270 with 2GB only, it seems to work too (good enough to fill an unused pci slot)
Haha a 4:09 i thought you literally meant you weren't limited to 4-5 graphics cards running at once with the 450. I was like i sure hope you dont try that! Nice video man as always!
My current pc has also has i3 2100 paired with GTX 750 and 8gb ram. I just keep settings on medium and I can play MKX at 1080p no problem.
love the concept, done it myself for a friend on a budget, but would go for the used i5s.
Thanks i bought a i3 off craigslist and this helped sooo much
10:17 Nice choice of Spigen case! My fave case of all time, will always buy one for any of my devices!
Justin Rivera haha someone noticed. It was pretty cheap on amazon
Wow dude, that was so much work, thanks!
Dude amazing! Can you tell us the maximum length for the GPU? I have a RX 570 but I would like to know if it fits in that Vostro
Definately get a modular power supply if you're not going to be powering more than what's on the motherboard, 1 storage drive, and a graphics card. You'll have the benefit of removing cords you don't need. That way, it's not the biggest cord mess in the world.
Microsoft has finally given Dell the ok to let you download the recovery image in ISO format for Client OS, in case you need that for an OS on one of these budget builds in the future. It's in the typical Drivers & Downloads section on the support site under Operating System.
i am just binge watching on your channel
keep up the good work man
Great video as always Oz, I too had to troubleshoot a GT 730 in an hp slimline and I ended up having to upgrade to windows 10 from 7 in order to fix crashing and sudden fps drops to 0. I personally would have stuck with the stock 300W PSU and gone for a 2nd gen i5 or another 4gb RAM with the extra cash but you probably shouldn't take it from someone who's using a GTX 1050 with a 240W PSU xD. Maybe test the pc with the stock psu for a week or hell even a day if you feel like it.
i found the Music very relaxing
This is why i love watching videos made by black and ausies. They give me all the information that i need. Love your videos man, just subscribe earlier.
the modded BIOS would most likely be to unlock the slightly extra stream processor units for a bit of performance jump
what do you think of my backup pc so far?: 8gb stick of hyperX ram, 500 gb hard drive, gt 730 2gb, i5 2400. I have all of these for 75$. Is that good deal/good build?
I am totally a HUGE fan of your work for the longest time now! Your projects are INSPIRING as well as intriguing at times too! I wanna join your Discord Community but it seems all the LINKS to such are invalid it states. I also have a gaming pc I'd like to DONATE to you to work on and do whatever you see fit for a lucky person or for yourself. Let me know your thoughts? Thanks for being AWESOME and goodluck in future endeavors...
Alot of cards are usually compatible with old pre-built motherboards but just in case make sure it is. my 1050ti wasn't able to work with an my hp pavilion from 2010 that also runs a sandy bridge i3.
Other solutions that I could have done was update my bios but unfortunately I can't do sometimes a motherboard can just be too old to support new hardware
Great video! You should also pair this with the GT 1030 (without the power supply update)
In your Afterburner on-screen data it's better to remove the CPU total load display because you already have per-core load displays there and it's better to add the vRAM usage display. At least that's what I think.
Glad you summed it up, bcs I wasn't going to check the other video 😂
i built a budget gaming pc with an i5 4690, 12gb ram, gtx 1050 ti and a 500gb sshd. it cost me 270 dollars, the psu was some random hp 350 watt 80 plus gold rated psu, it came with 4gb ram i threw in 8gb of ddr3 i got for 30 dollars and i was done lol, paid 110 dollars for the base system and 130 for the gpu
tbh, this is only possible in the US. In the EU people still ask between 10-120$ for an RX460.. might fight anything around cheap but still. Here we better by a dell or hp prebuild and just add a gpu that doesn't need a 6 pin to stay cheap. Without trying to swap the psu or hdd.
Love your Vids fam,very educational stuff
I have that exact Dell desktop in i5 variant with some AMD graphics (don't know the model) and it was still in warranty until recently when it ran out and I got it in 2012
wait did you call it Dell Vostro or something I am sure it is the Dell Inspiron 620 (and I googled it on google images to confirm it and that desktop appears)
Damn I got a hp 6300 for 100$ +16$ shipping and it was rocking win7, i5 3470,4gb ram, and 500gb hdd also it came with a hp mouse and keyboard. I put a 8gb ddr3 1600mhz in it and evga gtx 1050 ti 4gb and it runs very well. Total cost was $340.
Almost 100k subs Oz! 6k subs to go! Grats Oz!!! so excited to see that silver play butt @.@

BenTV Reviews Silver play "Butt" lol
love your vids m8 very intelligently put together
Good detailed video. Hoping u combo that cpu with gtx 1050 ti to see how games work
Ak47 It works well I done the same as this video i3 2100,8gb of ram and a 1tb hdd for £90 and the 1050ti for £130 no need to change the psu as it runs on a 300 watt.... Games run great for the price.
Yo, nice jam on the Benchmarks! Casiopeia huh? Cool.
Hey Oz it looks like you might have been having the same issue I did with my RX460 where the GPU usage shown is wrong and just flicks between 0-100%. You can change the afterburner settings to fix it and better show the CPU bottleneck in some games. You have to enable "Unified GPU Usage monitoring"
Source - www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/52xp5j/psa_if_youre_using_msi_afterburner_and_the_gpu/
I have a evga 450 in my HP Pro 3130 mt and it's been awesome.
dell doesn't put bad quality PSUs in there systems, they do put the lowest watt nessary, fyi the same companies that make PSUs for dell also make them for servers, so the quality is fine, it's just the feature set
I have tested both 460 and 1050 and i liked the performance of the gtx 1050 better but both cards are evenly matched
I know some of the Dell’s have odd connectors and I have certainly experienced nom-standard Dell power connectors that make using a standard PSU impossible without converters. Did you have any connector problems?
I ran into the problem with the bios and the graphics card before on three different builds like this 2 Dells and 1 HP. I think its just a problem with the AMD drivers when it come to prebuilt systems. In one case the Dell came with an AMD card like yours did and still wouldn't accept the new one. But in all cases I was able to get an NVidia card to work. Theirs just something with the bios on older prebuilt systems and newer AMD cards. I almost have to go with NVidia every time or suffer through the trouble shooting as you did. Good video.
I game on a i3 2120 paired with a 550 ti and I know it's not the best but just like this computer it gets the job done
I followed this, but I went with a SFF PC, but I might upgrade to a full sized case in the future.
