    I would recommend buying a lenovo S30 and just caseswapping it. Most of the time they are 4c/8t and are much faster than the usual 4c/4t haswell era processors. Also can find them for around 100 bucks for a complete system.

    I love this video and this build, but I think you could squeeze A LOT more performance out of this build by allocating just a few more $$(10-20) to get a better GPU like the 1660 Super, especially as the 1660 Super can be found for about $60-70 and the GTX 970 was $50.
    Edit: As a quick follow-up I checked out my local marketplace and found a GTX 1070 8Gb for $70. Massive improvement in performance over the GTC 970 4Gb for just $20 (if one didn't haggle the price down and paid the full $70)
    I understand that adding to a budget always opens up the door to better performance, but I suggested a slightly better GPU because that i5 4690K is still a workhorse and offers a lot of price to performance value already as long as one can keep it cool.

    • @bradgarpner6777
      @bradgarpner6777 9 месяцев назад

      yea 900 series isnt cuttin it anymore.. only 80 and 80ti which are hard to find for a good price. longevity on these isnt much longer either. 10-20 for a 1660s/ 1070, yea i agree. would have to drop another 10-20 on a better psu (which he should have done in the first place) but all in all this would bring the building cost closer to $250 so i do get it from his perspective. i was also happy seeing him score a sick price on that mobo tho, optiplex builds are really hard to rec cuz they ugly internals.

      It’s perfectly fine for lighter titles. For a newer system, the GTX 980 is a horrendous choice, as it is very likely to lose driver support soon. If you want real value, the Lenovo P520 with the W-2135 and an RX 5700XT is best. The processor is equivalent to the R5 3600, and it comes equipped with a solid 900W PSU. DDR4 ECC is also dirt cheap, as you can easily get 32GB for around $25. For around $300-$350 total, it is nearly unrivaled value, and is super simple to build.

    i5 4690k just too weak to handle any recent title. Too much CPU bottleneck by the 10 years old weak i5 4690k. Not pairing with a Z series board to squeeze as much performance from this little old chip is a bad decision.
    No, it doesn't has much room for upgrade, since the cpu is the bottleneck. Given the price of i7 4790k, it is also not worth upgrade to i7 4790k, getting a r5 1600 is better deal
    This $200 HP Victus Ryzen 5 5600G RX 6400 is much better, even the GTX970 is a better card than RX6400.

    This pc can do 45ps on Cyberpunk 1080p low. If the fair ebay price of the i5 4690k is $270, the performance per dollar doesnt worth it.
