This case is underrated. I made 3 of these for family members. SO easy to put together and get out there. And it just works.
I loved building my last PC with this case. It was super clean.
pretty sure its not underrated
Can you fit a three fan 3060 ti in there?
@@Owen-vi4ybUnfortunately, no. You're limited to 285mm in length, and that's with the card poking out of the chassis and into the cavity next to the fan.
This is one of the highest rated and best selling cases on Amazon, definitely not underrated.
big fan of this format. You really did go through everything a beginner needs for this and your quick install notes are huge too. Well done man!
bro! build your motherboard on the box it came with. so you don't bend any solder joints on the back. by the way dope build! looks great!
That is not why people build them on a box, its for preventing a short curcuit. Also not necessary on a wood table.
You need to wear a silicone wrist bracelet too. Love the quick and straight forward build guide!

Me building PCs for years still watching step-by-step building videos like this like 🤩
Such a great build at it's price point. These budget builds are so important because they show you don't have to get all the newest/highest end components to simply game on PC. I recently built a PC with the purpose of being a portable gaming rig and utilized mostly locally sourced used components. Ryzen 3600, 16GB 3200MHZ, 500gb NVMe, 650w PSU, 3060 Ti total cost around $750.
no way that was 750
@@thomasmalone4524yes way.
do you regret going on ryzen 3600 and not opting for the i3 12100? i kinda regret and i need more info to find out how much i lost compared to team blue. i did same like your build except the psu and the gpu and went to a 350$ with 2 m2 ssd and 1 normal ssd runing fast compared to my ancient pc but after upgrading to windows 11 performance had droped seen with naked eye

@@780HP not bad, seems strong for 1080p gaming. cheers!
There's nothing I respect more than tech youtubers showing off budget builds, I think it's great that tech youtubers show these off because it makes it easier for people to get into computers
I'm using the Core V1 case for my living room gaming/HTPC. I'm really happy with it. It looks right at home alongside all my other home theater equipment, and it's quite roomy, fitting two 3.5" AND two 2.5" drives easily, as well as my GTX 1080. I added two Noctua 80mm redux fans at the back, highly recommend everyone do the same; they're basically silent.
A few downsides: it only fits up to 285mm graphics cards, so no big bois, and once it's built, it's very hard to get in there and change stuff. No cable management to speak of - the horizontal mobo alignment means the ATX, SATA, front panel, and fan cables come straight UP out of the motherboard, and then really have nowhere to go. If you want an itx machine you can swap parts on regularly, do not get this case.
man i absolutely love this case, highly underrated. i hope that by the time i make my next build, they still sell this so i can use it again. i also had a 1660 super in mine til i upgraded to a 3060 to better compliment my 3800x. 1660S is a highly underrated, excellent card. shit runs like a dream n airflow in this case is exceptional. best part is full flexibility to put side panels in almost any order
Oh yeah they’ll always sell these on Amazon
There are other good itx cases, but this one is frequently available and affordable.
This is one of my favorite cases. I built six systems in this case. You can have a full size ATX PSU, a pretty long graphics card. and very good cooling. 200mm fan in front, two 80mm fans in the back. The white version looks nice on a desk or video room server setup. I use AMD cpu's and the 8 core Ryzen 7 5700g is cooled with a stock cooler, and If I add a Graphics card I get 2 gig of ram back and takes some load off of the CPU.. You can also have two 3.5" or 2.5 " drives in the right side panela.
Do you know what the max size graphics card would be they can fit in the case?
''AS Rock'' :))
ASROCK!
😂 I feel you
My eye started to twitch everytime he said it 😆
It's a nice build! For a gaming PC at 1080p it's perfect. I built basically the same thing, but "more ITX" so components were more expensive (PCCooler i100-2 case, B660M ITX/ac motherboard, Thermalright CPU Buckle, IDCooling IS-55 CPU cooler, ASUS TUF Gaming 3060 12GB GPU, SF750 power supply). I used a smaller ITX case so I had to prioritize cooling / heat dissipation, the case you used here really makes for nice cooling, with the trade off, it's less portable.
I have similar build but with a ryzen 5600, B450 and a 2060 Super(8GB), my next goal is to upgrade for a 3060 12GB, but that will take a while, maybe at the end of 2024.
I don't care to play thing over 1080p, honestly don't see much diference, but I am very excited to have a 3060 in the future and see how much of upgrade in games it will be!

I know you've probably made a bunch of these, but on the off chance you still read comments this far from the upload date; thank you for not jump cutting the install and making sure there's a good angle to see where on the whole set up the pieces are going into. I like to think I'm a fairly smart person but you'd be surprised how many "assemble computer for dummies" videos talk down, talk like their target audience is actually people who don't need an introductory video anyway, and/or cut the actual installation out of the video. You'd think it's common sense on a how to video to show the how and to parts. I'm definitely going to follow you more if all your content is this thoughtful. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it!
Arctic has new 80mm pressure fans to be excited about. P8 Max is 25mm thick and spins 0/500-5000 rpm quietly at low speed. A pair of them in the rear would be quiet but ramp up and clear the case out when things heat up. I'm experimenting with mounting a pair of them on Noctua NH-D9L instead of the stock fans. S8038 is a 38mm thick server fan that is PWM and spins from 0/500-10,000rpm. Typically, if 80mm server fans are PWM the slowest they spin is 2,000rpm and scream, but these new ones spin as slow as 0rpm/500rpm and can be purchased in a 4-pack! Just throwing that out there. Another great video as always, especially with a solid budget build.
He seems to know a lot about ASRock, but he says A-S Rock and i cant get over it
Thanks for this video. I have basically zero pc building experience and followed this video and built a sweet gaming pc. I made the slightly higher cpu/gpu route and everything was a breeze. The only thing I had to watch another vid for was the front IO connectors. Outside of that this video is perfect for new builders. Thanks again.
Another great video. As always, the production quality is outstanding. The build is interesting. Probably not what I would build for myself, but obviously you had a target budget to aim for and the results meet your expectations, so nice job! I'm surprised to see the i3-12100 perform so well to be honest. I would probably have gone for the i5-12400, that's only a bit more expensive than the i3-12100, but I guess it would have pushed the total cost over your designated budget. Your results show that we don't need a super computer to play games at 1080p with a decent refresh rate. In some cases the quality might have to be turned down a bit, but that is to be expected with a budget build.
Yeah, a 12400 is a very nice cpu for a lower-mid range build, but if you forced one into a budget this tight, it would certainly negatively impact performance overall, as you'd get stuck with something like a rx 580 for the gpu, or 8gb of ram or getting some sketchy PSU, etc. At this price point, you really want to put every penny you can towards fundementals (aka getting an SSD (instead of a hard drive), 16gb of ram, a decent PSU and case so that you will feel comfortable carrying them over to future builds instead of wanting/needing to start from scratch as soon you have a decent PC upgrade fund) and after you get your fundamentals solid (which are pretty solid in this case, though you could get a 1tb SSD for the same price now vs his 500 GB SSD) then I'd put everything leftover towards the nicest GPU possible. As long as you're running an R5 1600 or i7 8600k or better for your CPU, you're extremely likely to be GPU bound in most games on high settings, 1080p up until a 5700XT/3060, at least. This 12100 probably won't be a significant bottleneck (again, on average is the important thing to remember, as some games will be cpu bottlenecked in 99% of scenarios, e.g. with a 13900k and a 3060.) until you put something like a 6700xt or stronger with it at 1080p, and even then it would be most often GPU bottlenecked if you were using that at 1440p or higher.
Kind of pointless, its like 150 vs 80 dollars for a few percent difference in performance, 1-3 percent or the 12100 running even better sometimes
I truly needed this, I'm looking into building another PC and realize that overspent on what I made the first time around as I wasn't entirely aware of what I was getting myself into and ended up spending close to $900 on a PC that performs nowhere near as good as this one.
Definitely leaving a sub for the help, thank you so much!
I can't believe the quality of play you can get off such a budget build.. I'm gonna do this..
keep uploading , this channel is sick AND NEVER SELL OUT FOR SPONSORS
I think it's totally fair if a youtuber gets a sponsor deal, its not 'selling out'...people deserve to be paid for their time and effort that other people get to enjoy for free. If he was reviewing motherboards, and something like all the Asus motherboards were really bad for example, but the video was sponsored by Asus anyway, then i guess thats kinda selling out
If you want to watch it for free, then they need to earn money somehow.
It looks like a gamecube I love it 😊
I love how efficient these systems are getting. waiting on intel to drop some ppw cpus with efficiency cores in the next few generations for my next build.
Nice build video, I like that case too. For an extra $100 you could easily grab a used 3060 or even 3060 ti. I like these $500 builds tho because it makes building a PC vs buying a PS5 a no brainier lol
a PS5 is easily more powerful than this lol
@@quippy958 Sure more powerful but does less than half of what a pc can
Now account for the price of PSN for seven years, and the cost of the PC even with the 3060Ti (or a Radeon RX 6700XT) would be a no-brainer.
And you could easily grab a 4060 or a 4060 ti for an extra $160-$260. The budget is for $500 and not for $500+. It's weird for you all to always do this with these budget pc videos.
PS5 can last you more than a decade and include the sony subscription which saves you more $$$ for spending on games.
I have built a PC in this case but white for my wife. Nice body. Super easy build as it is like bare bone. But its big for Itx. Going to move her PC to a more compact body
Wow, nice build at that pricepoint! Considering that you are building ITX, this is even nicer!^^
Not enough thermal paste. Yeah I know all the common points why everyone will say it's enough, but if you search you will see this may not coat the entire cou and give maximum heat transfer. If it touches the heat sink, paste it. A super thin coat over the entire CPU is best.
This looks almost identicle to my current PC (built 2019). Totally different spec, but I have the same case and an MSI RTX Ventus 2060 OC which uses the same blower. Paired with a Ryzen 2600, 32GB PC3200 DDR4, and an AIO Cooler. Then I replaced the front fan with a Red lit one, and stuck 2 red lit 80mm fans to exhaust from the unit to fit my theme of "Event Horizon" named after the camera that took the first image of a black hole. It's a really nice case!
Mines the total opposite than compact. Mine is literally a giant case made to build 2 PCs in but I was lazy and only built one in this massive case lol
@@syndicateapostle3457 lmao that sounds like something I would do...prolly have big plans but then just do the bare minimum and have a freak huge pc build, with random screws missing when 'just 2 screws will do' even if it needs 4 😅
Great video, thank you! I've already got a case and the rest of these parts will be perfect for a pc I'm putting together for my kids.
intel arc gpus seem to be in a pretty good spot right now, i wonder how they would fare in a budget build for 1080p gaming

i built a pc with the 12100f for my GF. Holy moly that thing is a snappy lil shit for the money. I used the same z690 MOBO as you. i stuffed it into a torrent nano.

I'd switch the 1660 SUPER with an RX 6600 for a little more but great build!
A used 1660s is 100 bucks!
Thanks! Great to see video showing more affordable setup!
Case + cpu + mobo choices are so perfect. Hard to find a better budget build than this
Just buy a used z230 hp workstation with either a xeon or a i7 4770/4790 for like 100 bucks, thise pcs already have a 400w psu and support the 1660 super (only the 6pin version without an adapter) and will most likely give you the sane performance
@@Bacongoober The performance of that would be way worse, would take up more space and look like shit.
@@Sma5hy more like a little bit worse and it'd cost 300 bucks less also some people don't care for aesthetics so they wouldn't mind and also the z230 is boyt the size of a normal matx case
This is a quite a good safe build, although more performance-per-dollar could be optimized in, I totally get the more cautionary take.
I think including a second build, one that's a 'Max Performance, at all costs", could be a decent idea too for those who'd rather get a better GPU now and upgrade their PSU later. (I was one of these, how it didn't bite me is beyond me)
Getting a new GPU is significantly easier. Takes about 30 seconds to pop a new one in and GPU resells much more easily.
Upgraded from 1050 ti to a 3060 and seems to be working fine with a 550w PSU though I should upgrade the PSU just to stay safe.
I snagged the same 1660 for 84 bucks, with original box and everything. Looking for used parts is defiantly worth it
ASRock makes some of the "ugly" looking boards, but their quality is SPOT ON and affordable! Good pick!
I mean, the Taichi boards look pretty nice. And the Carrara variants go well with a white build.
The Aqua too looks good.
And the Livemixer orange board (B650) would look great in combination with the orange fractal pop case.
But the rest of their lineup is pretty ugly, especially Phantom Gaming
Any "cheap" motherboard brands look trashy. ASRock mid-high tier motherboards look good.
@elcactuar3354 Corrected, thanks!
i built a system using msi's b550 am4 codex system, all you need is a cpu and gpu, the case is very well ventilated, and the board has a surprising number of features, the power supply is lacking though but it seemed to work well under load, got a used gtx1080 for 100 bucks and a 3600x for 70 bucks, in total it was just under 400 bucks, not bad for a system that can play most games at 1440p medium to high settings
Glad you mentioned the 6600, even a 6650xt is available for about 250$ which is much better than a 1660.
For the cpu you can get an amd 4600g for about the same price. Nicely shot video.
Nice no nonsense machine, love it 👍 Probably enough for 90% of gamers out there
I always seem to come back to this CPU, I just cant get enough of this beauty!
Great video, definitely makes me consider making one of these for a family room setup!
I also did a build in this case but used the I5 12400, same motherboard, RAM 116gb gskill triton I had from a previous build and for the gpu I used the intel a770 le 16gb the machine is a little beast.

@@Mr.NiceGuy1986 question - what's a better nvidia gfx card you recommend that will be compatible for something in the $200-250 range you can recommend instead of the 1660
Just commenting for the case. I have the larger one and it has served me well for years, put some Nocuta fans in it and it is silent all the time with enough room for mechanical drives and coolers for days.
Interesting, I did a budget build before using the TT Core V1 as well because it's such nice case.
Dumb question I'm a noob would a GTX 1070ti fit this case.
This is a cool build. I'd probably go ryzen if I were doing a budget build purely because of some of my use cases, but for mainly gaming this is great. I love that case. Itx cases with 200mm fans are so cool. I might pick one of those up for my htpc as its currently in a really old, oversized case with a similar layout and way less airflow
What is the advantage to Ryzen? I've been out of the loop for a few years now
@@Mr.McWatsonNo real noticeable advantage selecting AMD, assuming 5th gen, over Intel's 12th/13th gen when it comes to their budget offerings.
Only upside that AMD has at that budget is if you intend on using integrated graphics only with their g SKU offerings. AMD's APU is better than Intel's iGPU.
@@Mr.McWatson Nothing really if you're going to be using a dedicated GPU and not intergrated graphics. Even then the latter isn't too impressive if you're not that strap for cash and can pick up a sub $100 GPU.
@@RommySalami What if you go higher end? Whats the difference?
@@Mr.McWatsonAssuming we are still going with 5th gen Ryzen vs.12/13th gen Intel. If you want one of the best gaming performance on a CPU, a 5800X3D outpaces a 12900K due to it having 3D V-cache (think of it as stacked cache) If we're going 7th gen Ryzen vs.13th gen Intel, 7950X3D over a 13900K and 7800X3D over a 13700K for the same reason.
That being said, those are cases for gaming. For broad-use, 12/13th gen Intel offer some of the best bang for buck at each SKU with better DDR5 support out of the box over 7th gen Ryzen. The general overview is that there is really not much of a noticeable or worthy comparison to pit higher end CPUs from either company against each other. Other than DDR5 issues. It really comes down to what you're willing to spend and how much value there is in it to you.

I've been building for friends for a long time. If you want to build something low cost and upgradable start with mATX unless ITX is a MUST.
mATX makes upgrades a lot easier down the road. Specially storage and ram. Companies like Jonsbo sell SFFish cases for matx. There are quite a few others out there. There are also cheap MATX cases that flow well and can be upgraded to SFF type case.
If the plan is to get gaming and upgrade as money comes in, I always try to go with the best motherboard and PSU for the money (not those overpriced "GAMING" boards) and build around a used gpu/cpu. I like things like a early ryzen and 1080ti, RX80/590 and things in that bracket. There's a $80 1080ti on my local marketplace right now. Could easily upgrade a used ryzen 3000 series to a 5800x3d in a year.
You probably could have saved ~60$ with a normal Atx build and add it for a new RX6600 instead of the 1660.
I built a 12100f gaming PC with a 6600, 32GB DDR4-3200, the same motherboard & case, an Intel 670p 2TB SSD, and a 600w gold PSU. I'm running it with ChimeraOS as a SteamCube. It runs insanely well for it being a Linux machine.
I have recently upgraded my pc from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a Ryzen 7 2700x and doubled the memory to 32gb ddr4 3200 mhz and with the new 1tb ssd it's like a sprinter on steroids it's so quick . The whole upgrade cost just over £300 with all parts from Amazon except the cpu it came from the USA . I was also working on a tight budget like you so to all gamers it can be done without spending thousands of pounds or dollars . Enjoyed the video well done
Dig the build. Actually inspired me to build my own ITX system. Though I went with a $650 budget.
I used a Ryzen 5 5600, RX 6600, and a ASRock B550 mobo. But kept everything else the same. Really nice build
more budget builds like this please!!
This is a great video, I'm building my first "from scratch" pc next year and this definitely gave me some confidence that I can do it!
You can do it! It shouldn't be too difficult as long as you take your time.

I hopes one day this would be my first gaming pc 🤞
I glad you have such prices in your country...

why this guy only have 29k subs his content are superb and nice this guy deserve more subs good job and god bless this man. more great content to come
Bruh there's better
I love how great pricing used to be for CPUs and GPUs but fast Ram and fast SSDs we’re expensive. Now 32GB of 3600MHZ ram and a 2TB PCIE 4.0 ssd are pretty dang cheap, but even even one gen old i5s and R5s are still $150+. And new mid range GPUs are like 400+
i really like this cases layout, cool build
he killed me with his pronunciation of Asrock !!!! say it with me As Rock!!! lol
same! it was relaxing until he pronounced it that way haha
One slight problem, itx cases and motherboards are a considerable amount more expensive than matx cases and motherboards so you should have just gone with an matx case and motherboard. Also, lga 1700 does have a phenomenal upgrade path, however am4's is even better. Yes I know, 12th gen and 13th gen outperforms am4 by a long shot but it's so much cheaper that it's worth it. The motherboards are much cheaper, the cpus are a lot cheaper, and overall it's just worth it. Plus, a ryzen 5 4500 will lose slightly on gaming but be on par with the i3 12100 in multi threaded tasks. If you ask me, the massive price cut is definitely worth it for just a bit less performance.
Whenever I hear the word thumbnuts all I can think of is numnuts. Kind of funny.
thanks for another good video.
The Thermaltake cube pc case is awesome
Mans said "A.S. Rock" without skipping a beat...
I replicated this build but used a Sparkle A380 for the GPU. For the price this is a fantastic build
I have 2 of these, and these are awesome! Extremely underrated.
Core V1 is one of the most underrated ITX cases ever. Cube gang 4 life.
as a laptop user this is the first time ever that i see a desktop so hard to resist not buying is so compact and high spec i wish i could buy once since is so small and i am sure i can store safely after use so mouses won t chew the wires like my last desktop 17 years ago. I have xbox series s but the limitation compared to windows are so many i just stored today and use only my lenovo idepad 330s .
good work, the only thing I would change is that the SSD shall be 1TB and there are many cheap cheap 1TB SSD out there, and trade that money with a lower watt power supply, this build is no where near 650 W power consumption, you can easily use a 400 W power supply and it will be fine.
Great video. Most people don't realise you don't need to spend 1000-2000 dollars to get a decent pc.
we need more ITX cases with 200mm fan compatibility. Lots of interesting budget options. Why not nice options?
For about the same price you could go all AMD and get a Ryzen 5 5500 and RX 6600. The Ryzen 5 5500, on paper, is worse than the 12100F, but the 6600 is about 35% better than the 1660 Super. So why not just use the Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Smart Access Memory. By using both AMD products together, you can enable SAM (resizable bar), and get more performance in most games that should balance out the 5500 to the Intel (or even outperform it), while costing slightly less. Unless you buy the 1660 Super used, or catch a good deal, it's also about $30 more than the 6600. So you could shuffle that difference into a Ryzen 5 5600G (or 5600).
Heads up/FYI the Hx10 chipsets only have x8 pcie on the GPU slot so I always try to stretch it to the B series boards.
calling it an esport build and not testing CSGO and Valorant is just wrong, imo
But then again, if it runs the likes of Overwatch and Apex at 100+ FPS, it definitely can run CSGO and Valorant without any issues
@@d4nyll yea, you and I know that much, many others do not- that's the point of testing and showing benchmarks. Also having specific numbers for this config in those games could help me choose between this or some other combination of CPU and GPU
@@siddharthdua4926 Or you know, just search " i3-12100 1660 Super" on youtube and find more than 5 videos with the same setup, each one having from 8 to more than 20 games tested. The way I see it, this is more of a review channel, than a benchmarking one, and spending 10 more minutes browsing around will always help with your decision.
it can easily run those games without a hitch.
Maybe CSGO, but Valorant, one, is a horrible game, two, Valorant can run on any system with a competent GPU and CPU made after 2016
Oh! My favorite case (got the same but his bigger brother)❤❤❤
Damn, the quality of the video is through the roof!
Just started watching ur videos and at first I just assumed this as a channel with hundreds of Thousands of subs but you don’t even have 25k. This is just about as quality as you can get. Hopefully the algorithm will bless you soon
A S Rock killed me! haha. Great video
2:01 that was so satisfying
You have an impressive production quality for the size of your channel. Great video!
Nice ITX-Case! Have the same for my older PC Back than 2007. Its Still working with Quadcore Pro 2 Duo 3GHz and 8GB Ram and Win10 ☺. (Not for Daily Use anymore).
with 500$ and all second hand component, i'll build a i5 gen 11 and a rx 6700xt aka best p/p rn, with little more budget maybe i can go with gen 12
At $500, an ITX build is a luxury. Don't know why someone this broke needs 1) portability 2) all new parts. But for the picky person that insists on those things, this is a good video.
One of the best mini itx cases out there.
I built a pc for a family member with a 12700k/Z690 TUF DDR5 Combo ($330), 5600 CL40 TEAM DELTA R Hynix M-die RAM (miss-price/sale $53), Seasonic Syncro with 850W PSU ($120 sale newegg), Thermalright BA120 ($23) and had an old EX920 SSD from an old build (free).
Just lacking GPU, but its for office/browser use mostly. Sales are insane RN.
"Eey-ass-rock" for ASRock is definitely new. Nice cheap pc
That PC is gorgeous! My next desktop build will be definitely mini ITX
the only upgrade i would make for the cost of this is to swap the stock cooler for a peerless assassin(also from thermaltake like the case) i got one for $25 on amazon a year ago and it works fantastic on the 12th gens cpu.
look at that soldier 76 slaying everyone
Its amazing what 500 dollars can do nowadays!
I have the same case! Cool, first time seeing people with that case
9:36 Which you have included a sample of the noise in your review, that would very helpful
My first build I used this case. Really cool. I miss It.
It'sa pretty good build for the money and form factor, but if you have the room for microATX, you can get your motherboard and sometimes your case cheaper and you don't even have to think about the ATX vs SFX compatibility hiccup. It's also more likely that your GPU will fit, especially larger, higher end ones.
I'd have probably gone with a Ryzen 5 5500, it's absurd value for money if you can find it. AM4 boards are also quite reasonable still, the ASRock B450M Pro4 can be had somewhere in the $70ish range. Even if the 5500 gets beat by the 12100, and it absolutely does in single thread, you still have an upgrade path to a 5800X3D if you so choose later on down the line, and you can put those savings into a better GPU or more storage. The 1660S isn't a bad card, but that could put you a bit more toward getting the 6600 you recommended out of the gate for example.
I have this case, and I am not particularly happy with it. The 200mm fan has a 3-pin connector, so it's loud. I had to replace it with a Noctua fan, which cost about as much as the case itself. The case sets itself apart from other ITX enclosures with exceptional storage options, but actually wiring the drives is a challenge. It's slightly too short for many tower coolers, which could have been avoided with just a few millimeters of extra height. And the metal is incredibly cheap and easily bent, which is why this is consistently the cheapest ITX case on the market.
At least the side panels are interchangeable.
