Builds like this are great for kids... in a good way. I put together an optiplex case swap with a i5-3570, 1050ti, and 16gb DDR3 1333mhz for my 8 year old daughter. She was OVER THE MOON when I gave it to her. It plays all her favorite games, the RGB fans look cool to her, and most importantly... she now has a PC like mom and dad do. And for the games she plays, it'll hold up for years.
We just beat the Co-Op Campaign(?) of Portal 2 together, and we had so much fun playing it.
That's so awesome. W dad
Very cool, i am a 14 almost 15 year old surviving on a pretty old setup, i am saving for a new one, thanks for the advice!
can u adopt me
Hh@@Frostiezs
That PC won't last past next year, Windows 10 support ends October next year and that computer won't support it,
unless you want to change to Linux, you'll basically need to get a new computer
Thanks for being the only creator that consistently focuses on budget builds
OzTalksHW, Nerd on a Budget, Zach’s Tech Tips, etc lmao.
@@deadchannelfrom2018 ztt is pretty good and Oz's videos are relaxing lol
I worded that badly ☠@@deadchannelfrom2018
RandomGamingInHD and Iceberg Tech too
Toasty bro's do it too...
My man got the Ronald Mcdonald happy meal Motherboard
lmao
This is the EXACT build ive been planning to build for a few weeks, same listings and everything
Did you build it 🎉
Yea???
OMG your kitty is gorgeous!!! Thanks for this video. It's nice to know it's possible to game for around $200
Thank you! He is one of 7 ❤️
This channel is just satisfying to watch. Something about the calm vibe.
As someone who only has a Macbook and can't really afford another expensive computer, I should definitely try building one of these just so I can have a Windows machine.
I feel like build from 0-800 are the best and most realistic, like if you think about it most people aren't gonna spend more unless if they specifically are looking for a component that's expensive for some purpose like streaming, video editing or something
Absolutely, diminishing returns!
That's for sure! Most people are casual gamers who will be more than happy with an inexpensive machine like this, upgradability is not that important at this price point. Only hardcore enthusiast would spend more money, and not necessarily because they need to.
Thank you for making videos like this. Since I am very much broke and my half year old new gaming laptop died and fixing would cost me so much money (cannot claim warranty due to laws in my country). I have been looking into other options, your videos are great. I think, I might be able to make PC for price, that is cheaper than fixing the cursed laptop.
Solid video. Clear, concise, and well done. I like low end to mid range most.
Dude i can't believe you made it possible! Not only did you built it for 217$ but actually made it look good!
My best was 350$ anything under that price wasn't possible for gaming so kudos to you 👏
Iceberg Tech posted a video earlier today where he built a £200 ($254 USD) PC with mostly used parts consisting of an RX 5500, Xeon E5-2680 V3 CPU and dual channel 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and he was getting 95 FPS on Fortnite at 1080p Low, 61 FPS on Cyberpunk at 1080p Low and 67 FPS on Red Dead 2 at 1080p "DF Console Equivalent settings".
For $200, used is definitely the way to go. It's crazy to me when uninformed console people act like you have to spend $1,500+ just to get a half decent PC. No, $200 isn't gonna get you super far, but it will do more than what a lot of people think it can do.
Totally agree that used is the way to go - especially when it comes to the GPU. I'll check out that vid - thanks for watching!
Agreed
Is it better than a £250 xbox series s though?
@owenj2394 Absolutely. That console has aged way worse than the other current gen consoles. Sub 1080p resolutions and 30fps limits are very common with that thing now for newer games, not to mention certain features being left out like Baldurs Gate 3 not having splitscreen support on the Series S for example. PC also has better and more frequent sales, and you don't have to pay to play online like with the consoles.
Xbox series s is the newer console mate, my xbox one s couldnt handle mw2 campaign yet alone the new mw3 my series s handles mw3 above 60fps at 2k resolution which is the max my tv will allow for
I've got a pretty monstrous system (7950X3D, 128GB of RAM, RX 7900XTX + RTX 4090 passed through to a Windows VM), but I do still like watching budget builds like this a lot. Might pick something like this up to use as a server or something
You need all that to watch your furry video huh?
WTF are you doing with that

Nice little build! I have been wanting to try the whole AliExpress thing, but I have not gotten around to it.
Cheers mate! It wasn’t as bad as I thought, but still a little jank haha
Love these series, I would love how you would progress a budget pc like this after saving up another 100-200$ as it would bring good examples how to go about it for someone who has a working well enough pc, but would like to play a newer game or at higher quality :) Cheers
I think I might build this just to get some experience. Thanks for the video 😊
You a real one! ☝️
Wait do you think I can play Fortnite on this? I got 240 pound and my mum and dad said “The ones for 300 pound are really bad”
@BuddytheHamster-vm9pd the news one but if you go with used you will buy a good PC her is one
Ryzen 5 1600 af or no af 35$ used
A520m S2H 50$ New
Ram 16gb ddr4 30$ used 40$ New

@@JOHNMARSTON18737 because I live in uk I still found all of them my budget is like 290 pound I am so exited I found a good case for like 30 pound! My mum is going to get it check at a place round me to see if it would be good but I already know it’s a good budget pc
Great budget build! I have seen the Zeon board combo kits used a little. Be interesting to see how much performance you could get from these kits. Enjoyed the vid!
I love having these videos as inspiration for PC flips I can do.
Very clean build considering the parts you used!!
Cheers mate 🙏
Im sorry, did u say it’s good for vr too? I’m subscribing. Ur helpful AND have a good personality, your what RUclips needs more of.
Thanks, I appreciate that. Yes this will do VR for sure
I already have a pc but these videos are really entertaining, good job
Video popped up in a search. I’ll probably follow this build as it’s pretty much exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks for the great video! How do you only have 15k subscribers?! You’re killing it man.
Re: "New motherboards" - yes, these are new motherboards. Some chipsets are salvaged, but others aren't. Additional info: Get 4 sticks of ram - that CPU uses quad channel memory. You would have gotten better performance with 4x4gb sticks.
At a $250 budget, you could have covered the case & an RX 5500XT.
Honestly it looks pretty clean with str8 black if I did not see this video and how much this cost I would think it was close or around like $500-$600 PC it looks nice amazing work man. Also please look at my other comment if you see this I truly would love if you can help me out thank you so much.
Nice all (almost) AliExpress build
Yo bro this is legit so good, I grabbed an 011 mini for 30$ and a gtx970 for 30$, I bought this mobo cpu and ram combo, and then found some cheap psu ssd and fans and made a build for only 165$!!!
Very solid 👌
I did the same built. With a rx590. Its perfect. I can play 1080 all day no problem. Funny seeing this. Im glad im not the only one that thinks this was a good idea.
That sounds like a great build!
Since everyone's asking, I wanted to ask too - should I get a GPU for myself or do an internals overhaul for better future-proofing?
Current specs as of posting:
Intel Pentium G3240 (3.10gHz)
8GiB DDR3
Frontech H81 motherboard
500GB HDD
1:28 the clothing ads are sus 💀💀
For $200 that's a great build.
Built a similar system so a similar price, a bit overpriced imo, but still pretty capable for 2024.
Qiyida X79 Turbo Mobo, Intel Xeon E5-1650v2 6c/12t OC'd to 4Ghz, 4x4gb DDR3 1866Mhz, 256gb NVME, 1tb HDD, Strix R9 390 8gb. Runs surprisingly quick and can still hold its own in esports and older AAA titles!
Nice build! But just to add, actually some of these Aliexpress motherboards only have one, if any, SATA 3 ports, meaning SATA SSDs will be capped in bandwidth if connected to a SATA 2 port, so going with an M.2 SSD is actually a better idea. Some of these boards run at PCIE gen 3 speeds in the M.2 port, so budget NVMEs run at their full speed.
it's sound more like around $300-400 build in my country.
the price suprisingly insane here, but can get better with this price range.
i really wonder how this build durability
Please use lowest possible settings in fortnite in future benchmarks (including Performance mode)
Those are the competitive settings afterall, and many people want to see that.
Love the video
I bought an Iwongu CPU cooler (single fan) for my build. A Ryzen 3 3100, and at 100% load, the temp never goes above 55*C at 3.89GHz turbo.
I have been wondering if i should try this, thanks for inspo mate!
That final cost didn't incude the case, power supply OR the CMOS battery.
It included everything but the cmos battery, you can get those for $1
50 bucks (cpu+mobo+ram) + 70$ (gpu) + 35$ (psu) + 50$ (case) + 35$ (ssd) = 240$ total (rounded down)@@JasonWitmerYT
I have a kind of similar build: i5 4690k
Gtx 1060 6 gb
16 gb ddr3
And i also went for the aesthetics, so it looks clean😊
Do an X99 2690V3 with a RX590. duable around 200€ and does a job
that timing was perfect hahaha right after he said it isn't going to be that easy an ad popped up
With LGA 2011 chips supporting quad-channel memory, I think one should keep in mind whether the board one looks at supports dual- or quad-channel.
Thank you very much. You are helping the poor
im not reallyy an expert about pcs i want to get one that could run games like elden ring or steam vr games dose anyone know a good budget pc that could do that? (my budget is about 600 euro)
Bought the same motherboard cpu combo and the fan and neither came with the mounting bracket/supports to mount it. Anyone know where to buy them?
At 9:02 it is not an FP Audio, it is JCOM1 - a Com1 port connector that you don't need.
*New to the channel but a good video. Well done.*
All my friends recently got PCs and the one i have is garbage and basically belongs to my younger brother at this point. Thinking of getting a pc this year so vids like this are pretty helpful!
the v3 cpu combo kits arent a whole lot more, and the updgrade to ddr4 is nice. I have one of these builds with a 2670 v3 in my garage. Pretty solid cpu miners if youre into that.
cool ill check them out!
The toasty bros are great
Agreed!
i love this guy
I love YOU 😘
@@JasonWitmerYT no i do more
finally someone who doesn't call $1,000 a budget.
Lexar is micron/crucial. I trust it more than samsung ssd
How do you go about building a pc based around certain games? I like factory games (INO, factoria) I’m 35 and have never owned a computer due to money and would love to build one.
yah a good video
tbh I would cheap out on the Case and get an RX 5500XT
you can also drop the wattage of the PSU to a 450w one since these GPUs barely touches 120w consumption
as for the RX 580 2048 SP, put in mind that some of them dies in months, I had one that died in 2 months
I would prefer if u get the 5500XT since its new from Mllse and its like 97$ (and can be cheaper on big sales like Summer sale or black friday)
i get the X99 with a E5-1650 V4 and it games hard
You could've got the Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 bundle that uses up to DDR4 2400MHz RAM instead for same/similar price.
That cpu can only boost to 2.9ghz. The one I chose is 3.8ghz. For gaming, I’d rather have this one.
@@JasonWitmerYT E5-2650 v4 is a more powerful CPU + I'd rather use DDR4 2400MHz RAM than DDR3 1600MHz. You'll get better performance for similar price for gaming, productivity.
Personally I would have gone with a 2640v3 bundle on the 2011-3 socket. Supports ddr4 quad channel, and there are bioses from miyconst that support resizable bar and turbo unlock the chip (all cores running at single core boost), as well as 1-2 nvme's. Highly recommend looking at a miyconst review if u r interested in any chinesium X99 boards.
That psu is a fire starter for sure, I would personally little extra for a C tier psu to sleep peacefully at night
Also it sucks how it wouldn't be any to run any of the newer triple aaa titles at 1080p medium to high with 60+ fps, I swear just before gtx 1000 series building pcs were much cheaper and you got alot more
Soon in USA with 200 dollars can't buy one bread!
A whole loaf of bread is like $1, so it might be awhile
Thank you ❤
*Amazing build!*
Love the build, but the fan connector is looking a bit bent at 8:29 hahahaha, no wonder they were 11 dollars💀
Haha I didn’t notice that - luckily it still worked!
It's a good start for xeon builds, but as an experienced assembler of similar computers from Russia, I have some tips for you: you must definitely use the 4-channel memory mode, as this will allow you to achieve a read-write speed of the ddr4 level. I understand your distrust of the nvme slot, but believe me, there are much fewer problems with them than with the bios on these boards. It was necessary to use a good nvme drive, at least 500GB (kingston nv3000 as an example). The choice of 2048sp is literally the basis of assemblies in this price segment, the brand you have chosen is quite good in quality, but I also advise you to consider the Chinese division of asus, namely colorful, in the future, since brand new graphics cards are sold under this brand at a lower price than in the USA. Regarding motherboards, yes, you're right, these are used chipsets, but they are installed on brand new boards, although their quality can vary greatly from seller to seller (the brand most often does not mean anything for such boards, although in most cases we buy xuananzhi boards).
Idk what any of these mean
I have the same motherboard. But how did you come across outing the cpu fan on? The holes to put the cpu fan mount are blocked
Not sure what you mean. It plugs directly in to the mounting mechanism for me.
@@JasonWitmerYT I bought the Fan, but it didn't come with a mounting mechanism. I see you have something like a circle bracket in the video, did your fan come with it? If so, they definitely... "wonged" me
Should’ve uploaded this back in November, I wouldn’t had bought a bunch of games 😭😭
how do you put cable extensions in a pc that uses a non modulare psu
So they fit on the end of the cables coming out of the PSU, merely extending them. So the ugly cables stay on the back and the nice ones in front 👍
is it just me or someone else as well first thought that the pcie slot is an additional ram slot lol
Could you make a video showing everything because I bought al the parts and I don't know how to build it?
it costed me $262 with the exact same build as yours
closer to 250
goat, Im ab to build my first one for college
I wonder how much this contrasts with a simple Xbox 1S
bros got sunbear d20
how many fps on CS2? replies are appreciated.
look at cpu util. its not stable at all. i think its better if u go with old i5's or i3's
Generally yes, but it’s a $200 PC so gotta check all options
i can definitely say scdkey has helped me on my joirney of setting up a pc, i definitely would reccomend.
Thanks cause I get 200 dollars for every chrismas and I am using a Xbox this will help a lot with exclusive games like ground branch and ready or not
Love the content and I absorb all the information I can get and find and don’t have a lot of money to spend on a new high dollar game pc and been wanting to get a budget pc tower I could play games on and I was wondering if it would make sense for a new cheap build or if it would make more sense to just buy a used pc like a OptiPlex pc and upgraded it as I don’t care about RGB and the pretty stuff just want to have a fast machine that can handle everything games and surfing and videos smoothly so any help is greatly appreciated 🤙
Awesome video
My computer of 12+ years just broke on me for the 3rd time so it’s e waste now.
Am wondering what I could get on an extreme budget that is pre built. Anyone familiar with one?
My name is James and my brothers name is mason it’s like Jason is a combination
Would this pc also work with a gtx1660 super instead of a rx580? Or would that be a bottleneck
i think saving up extra 100 ish $ and getting a320 or cheap b450 and ryzen 5 2600/x would be better. cuz you are gettting half the performance for the cost of 100$ rx 580 can do much better
I have a dell xps 8900 is it worth it to upgrade for a budget gaming pc?
now i just need the money 4x this bc inflation and then learn how to build a pc
thx btw 👍
Do another optiplex vid
So im planning to get a new pc. What should i save for? It's been around 2 mouths saved around 200
For what i have seen on the link the price of those 1070 are basically the same as a rx5700xt
Yeah they seem to have gone up in price recently, unfortunately. If you have the budget, a 5700xt would be awesome
Will this be outdated soon like the optiplex next year?
How you know we play RP 😅
Try adding MHW to your benchmark games.
I want to Build it too but it really Cost 291
What was the total system power consumption
no hate or anything, this is one of my favorite budget pc builders but he didnt even factor in the price for the case cpu cooler or psu in the final total.
Lol I did, I just didn't list it on screen at that moment. Those are the specs of the machine before the benchmarks and the total cost, not the cost breakdown. Sorry for the confusion. That is the total cost of the machine including everything pre tax.
Is there any special I need to do in bios to install windows on these motherboards?
Nope, should be good to go if you’re installing windows 10
I'm new to this... Looking online I see that the GT1080 is rated slightly better than the GT1070 yet is priced about the same for pre owned models on eBay, is there a reason I should prefer the GT1070?
There isn’t, but you Might be looking at the wrong cards. Be sure you are looking at “GTX” and not “GT”, without the X, it’s literally like ten years older so just be careful. Yes the GTx1080 is significantly stronger than the GTX1070
@@JasonWitmerYT I understand, I see now yet eBay must have already corrected me automatically because I looked up GTX1080 and got the same results as before, about the same as the GTX1070, so i will be going for that instead.
Appreciate all the help, I'm bringing my old computer back to life based off this build! Will be getting the motherboard combo for sure. Thanks alot.
That’s awesome, have fun and thanks for watching!
Your voice reminds me of Lester from GTA V lol
How dare you
Subscribe right now for that
Good video but i think is better to recommend upgradable pc something like 3400g with b450 motherboard i know is lower performance and can be build with something like 1600 or af version with rx550 or 1050, sometimes need to wait little more to get bang for buck🔥🔥🔥
Or any other cpu
stay tuned for upcoming video 👀👀
unfortunately, rx 580 2048sp (rx 570 basically) is no longer enough. cyberpunk isn't a new game and it can't run it at medium (don't use fsr at 1080p for your eyes sake). i'd like to see the 2650v2 limitations though, maybe with a 3060ti ?
I agree - I’m not a huge fan of the RX 580 anymore, but it’s generally the best at the price point. I might try the Xeon again in a video that isn’t focused on price
the cables are missing?
I didn’t actually use any PSU extensions, it was just a suggestion.
If you went for A B450 and A Ryzen 1400 it would be much better for a little bit more
