Hi guys, I would like to know what is better or more optimal, a cheap B550 (100-100 $) or a B450 with good reviews like the Tomahawk MAX? (for Ryzen 5 3600)
Not sure there's enough B550 boards right now that feature wise can compare with most of the X570 boards which can be found for right around the same price :/ Also, could you please stop recommending the EVGA RTX 2060 KO edition in your builds as it's never available and never at the $300 price point...I mean maybe you can get one because you're Paul from Paul's Hardware but, the rest of us common folk are just running into "Not Available/Back Order/Wish List" status and at $320-$340 or higher prices. p.s. I Love Your Channel ;)
Used this exact part list for my FIRST build from scratch. In total it was $882, absolutely blown away at the bang for the buck pay off, thanks a million Paul, I'm already excited to upgrade 😬😆
Hi Paul, just built this PC as my first build here in the UK. Thank you for your clear steps all of which I used and watched repeatedly before placing any parts. I found the whole process painless and I am absolutely delighted with the results. Thank you for your clear instructions! The hardest part was trying to get windows 10 to boot from the USB! Managed it in the end however.... great videos thank you!
@@redclaw72666 I wouldn't say dumb, but you would be dumb for buying an i5 for a budget build. For top of the line gaming builds, Intel is still the best.
@@edemduku3391 you have to be fast,2 days ago Walmart sell it too like $175 and next day I check it again and it's gone and go back at $199 again on another marketplace...
IF u can even find the parts. I have had no luck getting any decent 600w or higher power supply for like 2 months in USA. Hope all you other gamers across the world have better luck.
Great vid, Paul! I think the only thing is I would’ve loved to see some kind of performance assessment! Maybe a common benchmark or something. But good work! Thanks!
My buddy was supposed to help me build my first PC in like 10 years (coming back from PS4 :) but he cant come now so I'm watching all your build videos. A bit apprehensive but I think i'll manage to put it together... Thanks Paul for all the informative videos! Providing I don't blow it up, you will deserve a lot of credit.
Just built a repurposed motherboard with water cooling using the NZXT 510 case. I was very impressed by the build quality of the case as well as the many thoughtful touches built in. I was able to move the back panel cable cover toward the front panel by about 1/2 - 3/4 inch to allow easier access to SATA connectors and still have enough room to mount 2 120 mm fans and the radiator on the removable mount. Removing the rear fan temporarily allowed easier connections to the motherboard and still allow easy installation of the rear fan afterwards. I do appreciate your builds and the info regarding Windows 10 installation tips and tricks. Thank you for teaching an old, 67 years, Marine new tricks.
I always wondered, why manufacturers don't try to do rdbwbl strips? Like red green blue white and black, or idk a color that's close to black to allow people to have RGB and also have it black without having all those lights turned off than imo looks really ugly
@@yasir9148 actually no full size atx b550 are non existnet right now and I got asus tuf x570 I 130 on Amazon its crazy same with 3600x 3600 isn't even in stock right so I spent the 30 bucks to get the 3600x man the world is crazy
I have to be completely honest, Paul. I didn't need this video at all, as I've been building my own PCs for nearly two decades now, but this is one of the best, if not THE best guide for newcomers I've seen. I especially enjoyed the parts where you go over the different types of connectors. Really good job!
That was me after I thought I shaved my build down to a cool $830 or so. Now I’m waiting on components to arrive, testing what I can when they get here and just hoping I can make everyone proud of me lol.
@@madeiraislander Aw thanks! I can feel your pride from here. 😄 I’ve actually since built it and have been supremely happy with the results. Learned a bit of Blender, some Unity tutorials, played a lot of WoW, and I’m trying outfit New Vegas with the right set of mods to really enjoy my first play through. I wish I could’ve gone PC a long time ago but I’m glad I’ve jumped in at all, it’s a truly rewarding platform for so many things.
These setup tutorials are essential (!) I haven't built a PC in over a decade so I'm a newbie again. The build is easy; it's the setup that's mysterious to me. Thank you Paul.
Hi Paul, Francis Here im from Philippines i do have Anxiety Disorder i kinda sick sometimes but your videos make me happy and that happiness avoid me to think my problems ect.. even i dont have Gaming Computer but your video help's me to have knowladge for building a computer. Because of that ican help alot of my friends building their own gaming computer. More videos and More power to your chanel and always keep safe♥️♥️♥️
I’m building a PC very close to this build however I opted for a b450 tomohawk as opposed to the b550 used in this build. Just waiting for my case and motherboard to arrive then I’ll be putting this bad boy together!
Flávio Vieira I know! I ordered one, then cancelled because I thought my case was too small then tried to order again and they were out of stock. I managed to snag one on amazon, motherboards are very hard to come by recently! Hope for your sake that they come back into stock soon! If it’s any help, I think that there are some b570 boards that are compatible with this build but you’d have to double check on pcpartpicker. Good luck with your build :)
Ilijas Ramic awh no, that’s whack. I’m in Ireland so I have to use the British amazon. This build cost me ~€1100. The 2060 cost me €423 hahahahaha Americans have no idea how easy they have it when it comes to building PCs…
GN did an episode investigating why MOBOs and GPUs were so low on stock... Biggest reason: they go through similar processes in manufacturing so to save money, manufacturers switch machines between one or the other for whatever is in higher demand. Both are in pretty high demand and pretty much nobody can keep up with it. To top it all off, prices to ship products overseas has skyrocketed for airfreighting above 200%... just throwing a number out there, that’s not exact. However, it’s just the perfect storm for the lack of stock and high prices. We just gotta hurry up and wait for the market to stabilize. Don’t overpay right now.
Update: My final parts list: R5 3600 ($160) - MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX - ($105) - Sapphire Pulse RX 5600XT ($290)* - Fractal Design Meshify C ($100) - WD Black SN750 500GB NVMe SSD ($75) - Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD ($55) - Teamgroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR4-3200 CAS16 ($75) - Corsair CX650M 80+ Bronze PSU ($100)** Total of $960. It's going down Sunday. * would have much preferred an RX 5700 but neither store near me had stock (XT version would have been way over my $1K budget) ** Why are PSUs so expensive? RM650x would have been preferred (for both the Gold rating and full-modularity) but it came at a $50 premium over the CX650M That $380 Gaming Z weighed too much on my conscience, paid way more for an RTX 2060 than I should have. Still no EVGA KO Model.
I just wanted to say thank you for your video guides because of you I was able to build my 1st ever computer. You have no idea how proud I was when it powered on my device. I spent 2 weeks watching many RUclips videos looking for parts and putting together a balanced plan for a total of $1180. I set out to do a $1000 pc I ended up going a bit higher trying to future proof myself a bit. It did take me about 8 hours putting the hardware together and only 2 setting up software. I guess not rushing and taking the time to read instructions and pay attention to small details did pay off at the end.
I've had my PC for almost 2 months now. B450 Tomahawk MAX, R5 3600, RX 5700 XT... Decided to take those based on your recommendations and a few other youtubers. Couldn't be happier! Though my resting bitch face doesn't show it...
lol I have the same build. Is your 5700 XT a red devil? I'm flirting with the idea of getting a 3700x or even a 3900x on the cheap when the 4000 series drops. I do CAD work with this computer too so more threads means me more happy
@America I would but I definitely don't have the money for a threadripper, board and tons of ram for a personal CAD system. Rocking an 8 to 16 core CPU would be more than enough though I'd love to have a 24-64 core CPU lol
@@ws8672 yup, 5700 is great for 60+ fps at 1080 or 1440p gaming which after that it doesn't make a huge difference on how high you go with frames. There's some minor differences for shooters but people playing shooters competitively already drop the res to get a big boost in frames anyhow.
I've been a self-taught PC builder since... 2005 and this is the first video I've watched on building a PC after using laptops for a while. Completely independently of the PC building community, I arrived at the same superstition of not putting on the side panel until after the OS is installed. The one time I put the side on earlier, something screwed up, and it took another 4 hours or something to get the problem figured out and the computer to be finished.
Hi Paul, I just wanted to thank you for your tutorials. I have watched a few PC builds on youtube and yours are the best and most informative by far in my opinion. Your videos have given me the confidence to build my own which I managed to do successfully 2 weeks ago. I am over the moon with it. From the other side of the pond, I just wanted to say a massive thanks!!
@@tejasahluwalia8713 Yeah absolutely this. I watched a bunch of videos and tried multiple fan configurations (two front fans, larger top fan, one front fan). Based on what I saw with thermals (and more importantly what I heard with ambient noise level from the fans) stock is the best setup for this case. Think Gamers Nexus did a video stating the same.
I've been putting a PC together with identical parts for like 2 months with an RX 5600 xt instead of the ko and a msi b550 for the type c port on the h510
Great choices! Of all the things with this build that is my one regret, I would want to swap for a motherboard with support for that front port. B550 launch was a bit of a scramble to get boards though...
@@paulshardware Are there any USB header adapters that could solve this problem? I have the same case but my motherboard also doesn't have the type-c header. I emailed NZXT and they said they don't exist, but I found some sketchy looking ones on Amazon that I haven't pulled the trigger on yet.
there is so many far better case with airflow, USB C front is not essential for many. but I/O on MSI boards are a bit shame. Just look at the I/O on b550 aorus pro and compare if you can find any other board in this range to even come close!
A friend of my Son's parents asked me to build them a PC for a budget I thought was too low. Followed Paul's advice and went AMD R5 3600x stock cooler, MSI B450 Tomahawk, with Crucial M.2 500gb primary drive, Ballistix 3600 DDR4 (16gb) and a Radeon RX 5700 XT Graphics card. The performance is amazing. Novabenchmark of 3586 is the same score for another system with i9-9900k 32gb ram and RTX2080. Thanks for the Advice Paul. AMD Convert here.
Did you use the same links in the video to buy the items? I used the same links and the price for 3 items, KO EVGA graphics card $600 used, motherboard $180, and amd core processor is $200. Thats over 1k with those 3 items. Did yours cost the same or what I'm getting on my end?
very enjoyable. been on the market for getting a computer by the end of this year, and watching your videos makes me feel confident in knowing ill be making the right decisions when i finally get around to getting my pc.
Hi Paul , I’m building my first PC with my son and out of all the videos that we have watched trawled yours is by far the best and most informative. both myself and my son have really enjoyed your assistance in helping us build the PC when we’re finished I’ll send you the spec and a picture. Take care from England and stay safe. Nigel
Paul, don't usually comment but best PC build and advice video I've watched. Great the way you provided alternatives and the cost impact or performance benefit etc. :)
I just build a pc with a b450 rog strix gaming f, b550 isnt gonna come out where im from for atleast a month. Got the b450, 3300x and also nzxt h510 it's pretty af
Moby Murdock built mine today around same specs. 5 3600 2060 ko Gigabyte B450 something idk too many words Gskill ripjaws ddr4-3200 Nzxt h510 650w psu 256gb NVMe Around 850. I highly recommend getting a low storage nvme and either getting a massive ssd or massive hdd to store games.
You make a really good point about forward compatibility. You will never totally future proof a PC but you can minimize the amount of work needed down the road to update to newer, better components.
I own a bk/red H510. I like the detachable front fan feature as well as the cable management. I found an angled connector for the usb type C. Working like a charm. Very cool videos Paul
@@eternalreign2313 Lmao I meant the whole build xD but with a 1660 super, I have finished my build 4-5 months ago and I bought a rtx 3060 ti around $600 it was high but is nothing compared to nowadays cost
Total cost in Sweden (without shipping) is now $1327. All parts are available in Sweden (based on cheapest stores WITH parts in stock). That's roughly $400 in difference.
I spent 210 on a B550F nothing else was in stock 😭 I wanted the Ko but ended up with a 1660 super cause Ko was also out of stock 1st time building a pc
i like youre vids, i try to learn as much as i can the following time so in a couple of months i can build my first pc. ad this point im confident enough to build it,connect front panel cables. installing windows and drivers and configure it.
I have the same question. I'm in the US, and I can't find an X570 board in stock for less than well over $200. All of the vids I'm listening to, however, say I should be able to buy one for $150. Every B450 Tomahawk I see is also out of stock or like $180. I'm not sure how people are 1) finding the parts and 2) getting them for as cheap as they say. BTW, thanks Paul for all your time and work here...not complaining at all about your content. It's all incredibly helpful!
Due to the pandemic, and whats happening in China and India, stocks are low and people are overbuying stuff due to mass lockdowns... people are bored so they are building gaming PCs... Unfortunately, it gets the corporate fuckers to inflate the prices... I mean I saw B450 Tomahawk going for £160 on ebay (UK) with 10 bids... crazy times ahead.
Checking Newegg and Amazon both every single day and throughout the day ready to make an instant purchasing decision is your only hope right now. (On Newegg make sure to filter out third party sellers and only show In Stock)
Hey Paul. I just wanted to say thanks for your tutorial videos. I built my PC first time with your help. I had never had any experience before, but those videos really made it easy to follow. Thanks for helping us.
Basically just built this PC haha. Ryzen 3600, 16 GB RAM, same exact case. Used the Hyper 212 Black that Paul suggested too. I did use a B450 MSI board though cause I put it together a month and a half or so back and carried over an AMD GPU to save cash. Really enjoying it. If anyone is on the fence, this is a great build.
Im hating this type of budget builds these days. They always put the prices that were on sale for short time. So if they say its a 900$ build, im pretty sure you would end up spending 1500$ if you follow the guide later on.
I hate when people can't bother to research anything. I just made this build for around $1k, but I also upgraded to a larger m.2 SSD and went with a 3700X and different cooler. So, ya know, I'm pretty sure you can end up spending the same price if you'd bother to look. :)
Prices are up and down like crazy right now because of the pandemic.. but you can find cheaper prices on different sites.. or even apps like offerup and etc
I tried to select the same hardware at PCPartPicker and got to 910€ (Taxes included) with a 3300x, 940€ with the 3600 - Just for your info 😊 Thanks to you, Paul, I can now choose my computer parts with confidence (1/3 GPU, 1/3 CPU-Mobo, 1/3 for the rest - It works everytime)
very excited, i ordered a similar pc about a week ago and it has been coming in slowly, i payed $1050 but i got a 2060 ventus oc, nvme, and larger ssd. plus extra fans
Paul just wanted to say thank you for the advice. I just placed my order today and kept mostly the same parts as what you recommended. Some small changes. I went with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core instead of the 5, and the GIGABYTE B550 AORUS PRO instead of the elite. I also upgraded the case to the H510 Elite (mainly due to preferences) and went with 1 TB for storage. It has been over 20 years since I last built a PC so there are a lot of changes since then. :) I am looking forward to the build and the upgrades over the next few years. Thanks again!!!!! I'll post a pic or 2 when I am done. The parts should be here over the next week plus.
This is the exact build minus the b550 mono I’ve been eyeing for some weeks now. Awesome to see the parts I’ve have selected in a video and see how it will preform since I have never built a pc before.
I have to say. The H500/510 cases work well in a negative pressure setup. Meaning, you don't need the intake fans where the AIO loop would be installed. It does just fine pulling in air through the front dust filter and the back pcie slots. The included fans are setup to exhaust, which will give you the negative pressure needed for passive intake.
This has got to be the most sensible PC guide parts list I've seen from any RUclipsr!! (Bitwit: "£900 budget? Let's get a £500 graphics card in there!!")
I built an Intel i5 10400 PC and its running great. It was my first build. I could have went with Ryzen 5 3600 but there was no stock and I needed a PC.
This is almost my exact build but a bit more budget friendly as I went for a B450 board with a 1660 super. Very happy with my choices and this system should perform even better
The great thing about this is that you can pretty much get a new PC for under $600-700 if you have already have an awesome power supply, case, and hard drives. I just finished my build with a Ryzen 3600 and RTX 2060 KO. That said, awesome video!
Building my first pc. Just bought a b550 pro mobo, ryzen 3600 cpu, 1gb m.2 ssd, 32gb of ram, a psu, and a fractual design meshify case to stick it all in. Gonna use a GeForce 1060 ssc out of my other pc. Thanks for the inspiration.
I have a pc that I build all used parts that new is $550 but got it all for around $420. Just took a Dell Optiplex 7010 and threw in some parts to make it game ready and have had it for a couple years. Had to budget cuz I didn’t have money for a full on pc. But today I’ve gotten a full time job and finally started getting a new pc. Honestly. Glad I made my first pc cuz it teaches y’a about how everything works and preps y’a for ur new pc. It’s like getting your first car that’s a shit box so it preps y’a for a nice car.
Just ordered a very similar one, great choices Paul and well done, your video flows so naturally and it is full of details for beginners but nice to hear as well for advanced users ;)
Just upgraded from my old i52700k, to a similar build to this. ryzen 5 3600, gigabyte b450 gaming X, ddr4 2x 8gb 3000mhz Corsair. total cost $570 AU. Re-used my 15 year old tower (with 4 fans), Antec 700w gold psu, 2x 500gb Samsung Evo SSD, and gtx1070. After overclocking to 4ghz and maximizing ram MHz to 3000, it performs as expected. Extremely happy with the cheap upgrades and performance. No point spewing money on RGB and water-cooling imo
After about 20 years on a Mac, I decided to throw in the towel. I'm back to PC and I pretty much just ordered everything for this build. Came to about $1100 (I upgraded the RAM and processor to the AMD Ryzen 5 3600x).
So i just casually clicked by this video and each time i watched it i wanted to build it this exact pc..so i made the jump from Console to PC thanks to you!
Excellent "sweet spot" video. I'm looking at building a Ryzen 5 3600/B550 machine in the near future as a Linux box. There was a lot of useful info here for me. As everyone knows it's hard finding parts during the Zombie Apocalypse and you did a good job working around that. Finding parts is my biggest problem right now, they go in and out of stock or prices are stupid high. Thanks for this!
The GTX 1660 TI 6GB cards started costing $650+ before Christmas 2021. Fortunately, I found a seller who was slow on the uptake and had them at 179.99. I used Ryzen 7 5800x with Aourus B550 Pro v1.1. Q-flashed it to F14 (with nothing installed in it) and no problems adding the components.
Great info as you go thanks! Upgrading my mb to the b550, ryzen 7 and the radeon 5600 xt, found that today on sale on Newegg for $222 down from $329!. Can't wait til they come in. Upgrading from a ryzen 3 and radeon 570.
Two of my friends wanted a pc for around $800-$1000 so I recommended them almost this exact same system. They will be using the MSI B550 Gaming Plus instead. I build them this week.
I’d spend the extra $100 (or less) on the NVMe drive. Doesn’t have to be 4.0, but it is around $80 for a 512Gb NVMe 3.0 drive these days. It does make a pretty good difference with boot up and games like Witcher 3 do load noticeably faster.

The NZXT H510 is designed for negative pressure. Moving the fan to the front is likely a worse airflow configuration.
Yeah probably
I've been waiting for this - thank you! I love that you give extra options per part that you have chosen.
Imagine; actually being able to buy this for $900, it's more like $1500 in certain regions.

Just built a repurposed motherboard with water cooling using the NZXT 510 case. I was very impressed by the build quality of the case as well as the many thoughtful touches built in. I was able to move the back panel cable cover toward the front panel by about 1/2 - 3/4 inch to allow easier access to SATA connectors and still have enough room to mount 2 120 mm fans and the radiator on the removable mount. Removing the rear fan temporarily allowed easier connections to the motherboard and still allow easy installation of the rear fan afterwards. I do appreciate your builds and the info regarding Windows 10 installation tips and tricks. Thank you for teaching an old, 67 years, Marine new tricks.

@@yasir9148 actually no full size atx b550 are non existnet right now and I got asus tuf x570 I 130 on Amazon its crazy same with 3600x 3600 isn't even in stock right so I spent the 30 bucks to get the 3600x man the world is crazy
This is why I like Twitter, I get the notification faster there lol
thanks for following!
I love this build. No obnoxious RGB lights, balanced, and simple.
I have to be completely honest, Paul. I didn't need this video at all, as I've been building my own PCs for nearly two decades now, but this is one of the best, if not THE best guide for newcomers I've seen. I especially enjoyed the parts where you go over the different types of connectors. Really good job!
Taxes and shipping : *"Allow us to introduce ourselves."*
That was me after I thought I shaved my build down to a cool $830 or so. Now I’m waiting on components to arrive, testing what I can when they get here and just hoping I can make everyone proud of me lol.
@@Hangman1313 i'm already proud and this is the first time i've heard about you!
@@madeiraislander Aw thanks! I can feel your pride from here. 😄 I’ve actually since built it and have been supremely happy with the results. Learned a bit of Blender, some Unity tutorials, played a lot of WoW, and I’m trying outfit New Vegas with the right set of mods to really enjoy my first play through. I wish I could’ve gone PC a long time ago but I’m glad I’ve jumped in at all, it’s a truly rewarding platform for so many things.
Taxes and shipping : "I'm gonna end this man's whole carrier"
With you're help I just built my first pc.
Paul "That Said" Hardware
These setup tutorials are essential (!) I haven't built a PC in over a decade so I'm a newbie again. The build is easy; it's the setup that's mysterious to me. Thank you Paul.
And I wish Air Traffic Controllers would enunciate as clearly. Kudos on your verbal skills.
Hi Paul, Francis Here im from Philippines i do have Anxiety Disorder i kinda sick sometimes but your videos make me happy and that happiness avoid me to think my problems ect.. even i dont have Gaming Computer but your video help's me to have knowladge for building a computer. Because of that ican help alot of my friends building their own gaming computer.
More videos and More power to your chanel and always keep safe♥️♥️♥️
New game: Take a shot every time Paul says "That said."
You would be dead before the video ends lol
Kinda like Jay saying "I digress" lmao
That's just straight evil

I’m building a PC very close to this build however I opted for a b450 tomohawk as opposed to the b550 used in this build. Just waiting for my case and motherboard to arrive then I’ll be putting this bad boy together!
Lucky you that got hands on a Tomahawk. Were i live motherboards are all unavailable :(
Flávio Vieira I know! I ordered one, then cancelled because I thought my case was too small then tried to order again and they were out of stock. I managed to snag one on amazon, motherboards are very hard to come by recently! Hope for your sake that they come back into stock soon! If it’s any help, I think that there are some b570 boards that are compatible with this build but you’d have to double check on pcpartpicker. Good luck with your build :)
Here b550 is double the price of b450 toma max. Its insane strix e gaming b550 is 250 euros. Im country in a nutshell
Ilijas Ramic awh no, that’s whack. I’m in Ireland so I have to use the British amazon. This build cost me ~€1100. The 2060 cost me €423 hahahahaha Americans have no idea how easy they have it when it comes to building PCs…
GN did an episode investigating why MOBOs and GPUs were so low on stock... Biggest reason: they go through similar processes in manufacturing so to save money, manufacturers switch machines between one or the other for whatever is in higher demand. Both are in pretty high demand and pretty much nobody can keep up with it. To top it all off, prices to ship products overseas has skyrocketed for airfreighting above 200%... just throwing a number out there, that’s not exact. However, it’s just the perfect storm for the lack of stock and high prices. We just gotta hurry up and wait for the market to stabilize. Don’t overpay right now.
I was about to go to sleep when I saw the notis. Welp after this video I will search for a video HOW TO SLEEP 2 HOURS FOR 8 HOURS
Update: My final parts list:
R5 3600 ($160) - MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX - ($105) - Sapphire Pulse RX 5600XT ($290)* - Fractal Design Meshify C ($100) - WD Black SN750 500GB NVMe SSD ($75) - Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD ($55) - Teamgroup T-Force Delta RGB DDR4-3200 CAS16 ($75) - Corsair CX650M 80+ Bronze PSU ($100)**
Total of $960. It's going down Sunday.
* would have much preferred an RX 5700 but neither store near me had stock (XT version would have been way over my $1K budget)
** Why are PSUs so expensive? RM650x would have been preferred (for both the Gold rating and full-modularity) but it came at a $50 premium over the CX650M
That $380 Gaming Z weighed too much on my conscience, paid way more for an RTX 2060 than I should have. Still no EVGA KO Model.
I just wanted to say thank you for your video guides because of you I was able to build my 1st ever computer. You have no idea how proud I was when it powered on my device. I spent 2 weeks watching many RUclips videos looking for parts and putting together a balanced plan for a total of $1180. I set out to do a $1000 pc I ended up going a bit higher trying to future proof myself a bit.
It did take me about 8 hours putting the hardware together and only 2 setting up software. I guess not rushing and taking the time to read instructions and pay attention to small details did pay off at the end.
I've had my PC for almost 2 months now. B450 Tomahawk MAX, R5 3600, RX 5700 XT...
Decided to take those based on your recommendations and a few other youtubers.
Couldn't be happier! Though my resting bitch face doesn't show it...
lol I have the same build. Is your 5700 XT a red devil? I'm flirting with the idea of getting a 3700x or even a 3900x on the cheap when the 4000 series drops. I do CAD work with this computer too so more threads means me more happy
Me too..but now i dont know wht to do with my pc..just chilling on youtube and frequently change the rgb light..im not a gamer
I’ve been enjoying my 5700xt after I got some of the driver issues worked out. Works great and plays all my stuff easily on ultra.
@America I would but I definitely don't have the money for a threadripper, board and tons of ram for a personal CAD system. Rocking an 8 to 16 core CPU would be more than enough though I'd love to have a 24-64 core CPU lol
@@ws8672 yup, 5700 is great for 60+ fps at 1080 or 1440p gaming which after that it doesn't make a huge difference on how high you go with frames. There's some minor differences for shooters but people playing shooters competitively already drop the res to get a big boost in frames anyhow.
18:07 I thought he was going to say, "when screwing in your motherboard the rule of thumb is to screw with confidence" lol 😆
Verge...lol
I just made a parts list and everything is almost exactly the same besides the gpu and memory
I've been a self-taught PC builder since... 2005 and this is the first video I've watched on building a PC after using laptops for a while. Completely independently of the PC building community, I arrived at the same superstition of not putting on the side panel until after the OS is installed. The one time I put the side on earlier, something screwed up, and it took another 4 hours or something to get the problem figured out and the computer to be finished.
Hi Paul, I just wanted to thank you for your tutorials. I have watched a few PC builds on youtube and yours are the best and most informative by far in my opinion. Your videos have given me the confidence to build my own which I managed to do successfully 2 weeks ago. I am over the moon with it. From the other side of the pond, I just wanted to say a massive thanks!!
Love this case, I’ve got it. I wish it had better airflow at the front though
Keep it in stock configuration with negative pressure. Works as well as "airflow" cases. Just requires more regular cleaning of the filters.
@@tejasahluwalia8713 Yeah absolutely this. I watched a bunch of videos and tried multiple fan configurations (two front fans, larger top fan, one front fan). Based on what I saw with thermals (and more importantly what I heard with ambient noise level from the fans) stock is the best setup for this case. Think Gamers Nexus did a video stating the same.
Isn't the Coolermaster nr600 better than this one ?
@@scoiitube did you keep the fans stock as well?
I've been putting a PC together with identical parts for like 2 months with an RX 5600 xt instead of the ko and a msi b550 for the type c port on the h510
Great choices! Of all the things with this build that is my one regret, I would want to swap for a motherboard with support for that front port. B550 launch was a bit of a scramble to get boards though...
i wouldnt recommend a rx 5600xt, i had it for a weak and in games it really underperforms and isnt consistent i later switched to the rtx 2060 ko
@@paulshardware Are there any USB header adapters that could solve this problem? I have the same case but my motherboard also doesn't have the type-c header. I emailed NZXT and they said they don't exist, but I found some sketchy looking ones on Amazon that I haven't pulled the trigger on yet.
there is so many far better case with airflow, USB C front is not essential for many. but I/O on MSI boards are a bit shame. Just look at the I/O on b550 aorus pro and compare if you can find any other board in this range to even come close!
You will never use the Type C port.
New Egg typically restocks in early AM, even on weekends. Like this comment so all can know.
Thank you : ) really hoping they restock soon
Thank you
Fo someone who needs a PC on the cheap and to also have upgradable parts for later, this is amazing.thank you.
A friend of my Son's parents asked me to build them a PC for a budget I thought was too low. Followed Paul's advice and went AMD R5 3600x stock cooler, MSI B450 Tomahawk, with Crucial M.2 500gb primary drive, Ballistix 3600 DDR4 (16gb) and a Radeon RX 5700 XT Graphics card. The performance is amazing. Novabenchmark of 3586 is the same score for another system with i9-9900k 32gb ram and RTX2080. Thanks for the Advice Paul. AMD Convert here.
I was looking for a pc then you uploaded this.
yeah same, i put probably 2-3 parts lists for different people daily
just ordered almost the exact same parts. cant wait to build it!!
Did you use the same links in the video to buy the items? I used the same links and the price for 3 items, KO EVGA graphics card $600 used, motherboard $180, and amd core processor is $200. Thats over 1k with those 3 items. Did yours cost the same or what I'm getting on my end?
Sad story: In Europe, this is 1000 € or more.
Exactly :(
Preach this is a roughly £1100 build in the UK. €1200 ish and $1350 dollars...
If the parts are in stock
Fredrick Rourk That’s the worst part, nothing is in stock anymore.
Sad Story: In Turkey this is 7000tl or more
Dude, I am so glad you are back at it! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Please be safe and keep on keeping on! Happy belated Fathers Day too.
very enjoyable. been on the market for getting a computer by the end of this year, and watching your videos makes me feel confident in knowing ill be making the right decisions when i finally get around to getting my pc.
RUclips stealing from PornHub with the sectioned timeline lol
Just like they did with the 3 second previews

I've totally done the, hmmm all the switches are on!? ohhhhh - the plug 🤦♂️
10:00 A few of my games greatly improved (eliminated frequent FPS drops) when I switched from an HDD to an SSD
I feel like at this point all games should be installed on SSDs with HDDs for long term storage.
that's only if the hdd is actual garbage and/or you have too little ram.
Hi Paul , I’m building my first PC with my son and out of all the videos that we have watched trawled yours is by far the best and most informative. both myself and my son have really enjoyed your assistance in helping us build the PC when we’re finished I’ll send you the spec and a picture. Take care from England and stay safe. Nigel
Paul, don't usually comment but best PC build and advice video I've watched. Great the way you provided alternatives and the cost impact or performance benefit etc. :)
My b450 literally just came
still totally a good choice if you don't need PCIE 4.0
I just build a pc with a b450 rog strix gaming f, b550 isnt gonna come out where im from for atleast a month.
Got the b450, 3300x and also nzxt h510 it's pretty af

I'm literally just waiting on parts for a build that's practically identical
Was it around the same price, I just want a heads up in case the prices have went up since the video was released
Moby Murdock built mine today around same specs.
5 3600
2060 ko
Gigabyte B450 something idk too many words
Gskill ripjaws ddr4-3200
Nzxt h510
650w psu
256gb NVMe
Around 850.
I highly recommend getting a low storage nvme and either getting a massive ssd or massive hdd to store games.
You make a really good point about forward compatibility. You will never totally future proof a PC but you can minimize the amount of work needed down the road to update to newer, better components.
I own a bk/red H510. I like the detachable front fan feature as well as the cable management. I found an angled connector for the usb type C. Working like a charm. Very cool videos Paul
ah yes, worth the 30 second click
I've built 10+ high powered PCs, but still I watch the whole video intently...
“Prices have come down a bit” same specs but with a 1660s graphics card... $1150
Are you a prophet or something? Cuz yeah the 1660s now costs $1150 lol.
@@eternalreign2313 Lmao I meant the whole build xD but with a 1660 super, I have finished my build 4-5 months ago and I bought a rtx 3060 ti around $600 it was high but is nothing compared to nowadays cost
a 2060 costs the same now as his entire build lol
I haven’t built a computer since the early 1990s. Watching all these videos is making me want to build one again
Total cost in Sweden (without shipping) is now $1327.
All parts are available in Sweden (based on cheapest stores WITH parts in stock).
That's roughly $400 in difference.
I spent 210 on a B550F nothing else was in stock 😭 I wanted the Ko but ended up with a 1660 super cause Ko was also out of stock 1st time building a pc
Ew. I almost went 1080 or 1080ti, but I had to get a 2070 Super instead, but I paid like 2/3 retail so it's not a fair comparison.
why don’t you guys just.... wait?
same thing i was going to do but also went for the 1660 super
King Zahard I got tired of waiting
Could you do a system setup of the pc you just build to so that we can see the performance
You can find benchmark videos of a 2060 and 3600 pretty easily
Can we just take 10 seconds to appreciate the fact that he used a keycap to hold up the ssd
I built my first PC with this build. I did use a Powerspec power supply and Coolermaster h500 case because I got it for $40 new. Thanks for the video!
i like youre vids, i try to learn as much as i can the following time so in a couple of months i can build my first pc. ad this point im confident enough to build it,connect front panel cables. installing windows and drivers and configure it.
This would cost about 2k or more in Australia lol
check out pc parts picker, you can easily get it 1.5k aud, even cheaper if you swap a couple things around with similar items
Yeh I just got one with very similar gear for 2k in AU. Expect I went the 2060 super
I wanna see how this pc performs
Where do you even get these parts? everything is out of stock...
In what country do you live?
I have the same question. I'm in the US, and I can't find an X570 board in stock for less than well over $200. All of the vids I'm listening to, however, say I should be able to buy one for $150. Every B450 Tomahawk I see is also out of stock or like $180. I'm not sure how people are 1) finding the parts and 2) getting them for as cheap as they say. BTW, thanks Paul for all your time and work here...not complaining at all about your content. It's all incredibly helpful!
Due to the pandemic, and whats happening in China and India, stocks are low and people are overbuying stuff due to mass lockdowns... people are bored so they are building gaming PCs... Unfortunately, it gets the corporate fuckers to inflate the prices... I mean I saw B450 Tomahawk going for £160 on ebay (UK) with 10 bids... crazy times ahead.
Checking Newegg and Amazon both every single day and throughout the day ready to make an instant purchasing decision is your only hope right now. (On Newegg make sure to filter out third party sellers and only show In Stock)
Mike Reilley Check Newegg. As of when I’m writing this they restocked!!
Hey Paul. I just wanted to say thanks for your tutorial videos. I built my PC first time with your help. I had never had any experience before, but those videos really made it easy to follow. Thanks for helping us.
Basically just built this PC haha. Ryzen 3600, 16 GB RAM, same exact case. Used the Hyper 212 Black that Paul suggested too. I did use a B450 MSI board though cause I put it together a month and a half or so back and carried over an AMD GPU to save cash. Really enjoying it. If anyone is on the fence, this is a great build.
Im hating this type of budget builds these days.
They always put the prices that were on sale for short time. So if they say its a 900$ build, im pretty sure you would end up spending 1500$ if you follow the guide later on.
I hate when people can't bother to research anything. I just made this build for around $1k, but I also upgraded to a larger m.2 SSD and went with a 3700X and different cooler.
So, ya know, I'm pretty sure you can end up spending the same price if you'd bother to look. :)
Prices are up and down like crazy right now because of the pandemic.. but you can find cheaper prices on different sites.. or even apps like offerup and etc
I literally just bought all these parts for 920$

Thank you! Very Professional guide. Very useful. Cheers!
I tried to select the same hardware at PCPartPicker and got to 910€ (Taxes included) with a 3300x, 940€ with the 3600 - Just for your info 😊
Thanks to you, Paul, I can now choose my computer parts with confidence (1/3 GPU, 1/3 CPU-Mobo, 1/3 for the rest - It works everytime)
very excited, i ordered a similar pc about a week ago and it has been coming in slowly, i payed $1050 but i got a 2060 ventus oc, nvme, and larger ssd. plus extra fans
Paul just wanted to say thank you for the advice. I just placed my order today and kept mostly the same parts as what you recommended. Some small changes. I went with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core instead of the 5, and the GIGABYTE B550 AORUS PRO instead of the elite. I also upgraded the case to the H510 Elite (mainly due to preferences) and went with 1 TB for storage. It has been over 20 years since I last built a PC so there are a lot of changes since then. :) I am looking forward to the build and the upgrades over the next few years. Thanks again!!!!! I'll post a pic or 2 when I am done. The parts should be here over the next week plus.
This is the exact build minus the b550 mono I’ve been eyeing for some weeks now. Awesome to see the parts I’ve have selected in a video and see how it will preform since I have never built a pc before.
I have to say. The H500/510 cases work well in a negative pressure setup. Meaning, you don't need the intake fans where the AIO loop would be installed. It does just fine pulling in air through the front dust filter and the back pcie slots. The included fans are setup to exhaust, which will give you the negative pressure needed for passive intake.
Paul, you make the best computer videos on RUclips. I am in the process of my first build. Thanks for the helpful videos!
This has got to be the most sensible PC guide parts list I've seen from any RUclipsr!! (Bitwit: "£900 budget? Let's get a £500 graphics card in there!!")
Thanks Paul! My first pc build, Absolutely no problems. It did cost me about 200 bucks more.
I built an Intel i5 10400 PC and its running great. It was my first build. I could have went with Ryzen 5 3600 but there was no stock and I needed a PC.
This is almost my exact build but a bit more budget friendly as I went for a B450 board with a 1660 super. Very happy with my choices and this system should perform even better
Rizvix ?
The great thing about this is that you can pretty much get a new PC for under $600-700 if you have already have an awesome power supply, case, and hard drives. I just finished my build with a Ryzen 3600 and RTX 2060 KO. That said, awesome video!
Building my first pc. Just bought a b550 pro mobo, ryzen 3600 cpu, 1gb m.2 ssd, 32gb of ram, a psu, and a fractual design meshify case to stick it all in. Gonna use a GeForce 1060 ssc out of my other pc. Thanks for the inspiration.
Another great build video, Paul. I recommend new builders to your channel all the time for just this reason.
I have a pc that I build all used parts that new is $550 but got it all for around $420. Just took a Dell Optiplex 7010 and threw in some parts to make it game ready and have had it for a couple years. Had to budget cuz I didn’t have money for a full on pc. But today I’ve gotten a full time job and finally started getting a new pc. Honestly. Glad I made my first pc cuz it teaches y’a about how everything works and preps y’a for ur new pc. It’s like getting your first car that’s a shit box so it preps y’a for a nice car.
Just ordered a very similar one, great choices Paul and well done, your video flows so naturally and it is full of details for beginners but nice to hear as well for advanced users ;)
This is a very clean and serviceable build for $900 + it has a decent upgrade path. Thanks for another quality video!
Just upgraded from my old i52700k, to a similar build to this. ryzen 5 3600, gigabyte b450 gaming X, ddr4 2x 8gb 3000mhz Corsair. total cost $570 AU. Re-used my 15 year old tower (with 4 fans), Antec 700w gold psu, 2x 500gb Samsung Evo SSD, and gtx1070.
After overclocking to 4ghz and maximizing ram MHz to 3000, it performs as expected. Extremely happy with the cheap upgrades and performance. No point spewing money on RGB and water-cooling imo
After about 20 years on a Mac, I decided to throw in the towel. I'm back to PC and I pretty much just ordered everything for this build. Came to about $1100 (I upgraded the RAM and processor to the AMD Ryzen 5 3600x).
I recommended this to my friend for his first PC build 👍🏻 Cheers bro
Another superb build. Find these builds so interesting, used an earlier vid for my R5 3600 / RTX 2070 build. Thankyou.
So i just casually clicked by this video and each time i watched it i wanted to build it this exact pc..so i made the jump from Console to PC thanks to you!
Excellent "sweet spot" video. I'm looking at building a Ryzen 5 3600/B550 machine in the near future as a Linux box. There was a lot of useful info here for me. As everyone knows it's hard finding parts during the Zombie Apocalypse and you did a good job working around that. Finding parts is my biggest problem right now, they go in and out of stock or prices are stupid high. Thanks for this!
The GTX 1660 TI 6GB cards started costing $650+ before Christmas 2021. Fortunately, I found a seller who was slow on the uptake and had them at 179.99. I used Ryzen 7 5800x with Aourus B550 Pro v1.1. Q-flashed it to F14 (with nothing installed in it) and no problems adding the components.
Great info as you go thanks! Upgrading my mb to the b550, ryzen 7 and the radeon 5600 xt, found that today on sale on Newegg for $222 down from $329!. Can't wait til they come in. Upgrading from a ryzen 3 and radeon 570.
Two of my friends wanted a pc for around $800-$1000 so I recommended them almost this exact same system. They will be using the MSI B550 Gaming Plus instead. I build them this week.
How are the gpu temps under full load. Plz help I’ve tried to look everywhere for a rtx 2060 ko in a Nzxt h510.
Yi Ma didn’t really do any stress testing on it. 2060 in an H510 with only the stock fans should be plenty fine.
I’d spend the extra $100 (or less) on the NVMe drive. Doesn’t have to be 4.0, but it is around $80 for a 512Gb NVMe 3.0 drive these days. It does make a pretty good difference with boot up and games like Witcher 3 do load noticeably faster.
My build will be: b450 tomahawk max, Ryzen 5 3600, sapphire nitro + Radeon rx 5700 xt, maybe Corsair DDR4 3600 RGB, Corsair icue 220t (Case), evga 650 bronze plus (psu),
