hey guys this is Austin and today Mew is the gaming PC build from $500 so there are a lot of different kind of price points that you can build a game PC app so the higher end I've done a $3,000 build before which is just ridiculous it's overkill for most people but if you want to get amount of ton of monitors it's a great way to go likewise if you want something a little bit more normal you can go with a $1000 build which will pretty much max out any kind of game you throw at it however if you don't have $1,000 to spend the 500 dollar bill that I'm about to show you is actually an excellent choice to kick our belt off we're going to be using an Intel Core i3 2120 CPU now a lot of people give the core i3 a bad rap however actually it is a really great CPU if you're on a budget and you want to build a really nice gaming computer this features dual cores clocked at 3.3 gear Hertz it also comes with a hyper threading which allows Windows to see it as a quad-core CPU well sure some games can't actually fully take advantage of a quad-core CPU however you be surprised how many will do just fine on the dual core Core i3 $422 this is an excellent start for our build moving on we're going to be using the gigabyte H 61 DS 2 motherboard now while this motherboard is very cheap that does not mean that it's lacking performance you're still going to be able to get all you can out of both your graphics card and your CPU and that's really the most important thing in a budget build like this you'll find 4 SATA ports which can be used for hard drives DVD drives and anything else you want to plug in and also since it's a gigabyte board it comes with dual BIOS now BIOS is what runs the entire motherboard so if this goes you're pretty much of your entire motherboard is ruined and believe me I've actually killed a computer by flashing a bad BIOS to it before so having a backup BIOS that if anything goes wrong the motherboard will automatically revert to it is a great feature you are missing a few bells and whistles including USB 3 as well as SATA 3 however for $50.00 this will absolutely get the job done for a graphics card we're going to be using a Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 now that this has come down to price it's absolutely excellent card for a budget build not only is it fast quiet and cool but also is not going to break the bank this card comes with one gigabyte of gddr5 memory and since it's the gigahertz Edition that means that the core clock is over one gigahertz now while this is not going to go blow away your GTX 680 it definitely means they will deliver some really stellar performance as one of the latest AMD cards built on their new 28 nanometer process this means that not only will it be fast but it also is going to run really quietly it's not going to suck up a ton of power for 120 dollars after mail and rebate the performance of this card should be perfect for our build for memory we're going to be using four gigabytes of pee and wine optima ram now four gigabytes while it's not a ton it's going to be more than after a handle pretty much any game that you throw at it on top of that since it's clocked at 13 33 megahertz which is pretty much as fast as this motherboard can handle that means it's going to be a really good fit for our build best of all it's only going to run is $25 for the dual channel kit for a hard drive we're going to be using a 500 go by Western Digital caviar blue drive now while I'm a big fan of SSDs for this build our normal hard drive makes a lot more sense with 500 gigabytes of capacity to work with that's going to be plenty of room for all your Steam games pictures media photos all that kind of stuff will fit on the drive no problem and since it is a 7200 rpm drive that means it's going to be pretty snappy again not quite as fast as an SSD but you have more like 500 gigabytes to work with as opposed to 60 for $70 another a great addition to our build or power supply we're going to be using a 500 watt cooler master extreme power plus with 500 watts of capacity this is going to be more than that for our build now on top of that there's plenty of overhead where if you ever want to add additional hard drives more fans LEDs all that kind of stuff it can handle it no problem $40 this will work great in our build for a case we're going to be using the antique 300 now this has been my favorite budget case for quite a while now for starters it's a full sized case which means that there's plenty of room for a full size motherboard full size graphics cards lots of hard drives all that kind of stuff will fit in the case no problem but on top of that it has very good airflow and while none of our parts are particularly extreme so nothing's going to be just pouring tons and tons of heat out compared to anything else the antique 300 can absolutely handle everything we've got to throw at and more for only $55 a great way to go the last partner build is a Sony DVD burner now this part is optional if you want to you can ditch it or you can instead go with a blu-ray drive I generally do recommend to grab a DVD drive at least though as they're pretty cheap and it makes installing windows and various other programs easier of course it's nice to sometimes watch a DVD or you know use a CD if you're one of those before of course like I said though you can't skip this but otherwise it will cost you about eighteen dollars lastly you may want to consider picking up a copy of Windows 7 home premium now I'm not going to be doing this with this build as instead I'm going to be doing a copy of Windows 8 over they can come in handy if you don't want to deal with a beta or anything like that if you do want to go with Windows 7 and will be in addition to $100 but again you can't go ahead and just use and by that once it does come out so what's the damage as a recording this video this entire bill will cost you four hundred ninety nine dollars and thirty four cents see I told you the five dollar bill anyway definitely do keep in mind that prices are constantly fluctuating usually going down so I have links to everything in the description of this video anyway guys if you want to see the full tutorial on how to put this computer together I will have an annotation right here on top of that I'll also be giving this computer away so actually will be a couple of weeks from now but as soon as the videos live the annotation will be right beside me here anyway guys if you enjoyed this video definitely get a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this including
