they were building the console killer for around 500 buckaroos so it's a little bit on the high inside it's definitely a bit more than you would pay for an Xbox 1x or ps4 Pro but at the same time this bill should definitely outperform either of those consoles with flying colors I should also mention this video is sponsored by Aero cool so thanks to them for providing the case as well as some goodies we'll take a look at later but let's go over the parts starting with our CPU we've got a risin 320 200 G this is a quad core for thread part boosts up to 3.7 gigahertz and it does feature integrated Vega 8 graphics so it does have an eye GPU on there although we will be adding a discrete GPU to this bill but it is convenient to have onboard graphics for a number of reasons like troubleshooting or just having it as a backup should your GPU die for some reason with no immediate replacement with some overclocking Headroom and erase stealth cooler out of the box the 2200 G is quite a bargain for just a hundred bucks we're pairing that with an asrock V 450 mm HD V motherboard this is a fairly basic board it only has 2 DIMM slots that is the price you pay for not paying a lot but for 60 bucks you're still getting the B 450 chipset plenty of USB 3 ports on the back and even an m2 slot so it's already better than the motherboards that Walmart used in their gaming PC now the memory kit we're supposed to be using for this build is a 16 gig dual channel kit of g.skill Aegis ddr4 a 2800 speed but due to the Christmas rush it has been delayed in shipping and so it's not here yet so we have a placeholder for now this is the T Force Nighthawk RGB so it's 3000 speed just a little bit faster than our Aegis kit if the Aegis kit doesn't arrive here by the time we're ready to test this finish build that'll probably just down clock this kit to 2800 and that'll be the best I can do for now but we did get that Aegis kit for 99 bucks so not too shabby for a dual-channel 16 gig kit moving on we have a corsair CX 450 watt power supply which should be plenty of juice for this build 80 plus bronze certified fully black cables it's not modular though so we'll have to do spend a little bit more time with cable management our video card is the power color radeon RX 5 70 red dragon which sounds like a model that while would appreciate the RX 570 is a fantastic entry-level card for gamers looking to game at 1080p and I think I snagged this one for about 145 bucks which is definitely a low barrier to entry for anyone looking to get their foot in the door the PC gaming we have a couple drives for storage including a 2 terabyte Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm mechanical hard drive that we'll be using for our games and mass storage and our boot drives a 240 gig silicon power s55 two and a half inch SATA rev3 SSD I was able to snag both of those for around a hundred bucks total but if you wanted to cut costs down even further and you were okay with having a smaller OS drive I think you can snag this s 55 in a 120 game capacity for like 19 bucks and finally all of this hardware is going inside of the aero cool Cylon mini this is a micro ATX case that you can pick up for 4045 bucks and for that price you get RGB and USB 3.0 on the front panel a removable dust filters and so forth again links to all this stuff can be found in the description below and thanks again to Aero cool for sponsoring this video now let's get building this 500 ish dollar console killer all right so the build is done and it actually came out a lot cleaner than I thought it would I was surprised how well I was able to actually hide a lot of the cables especially since we don't have a modular power supply inside of a 40 $45 case like it looks really clean from this side even the back side of the cable management wasn't too bad obviously if you have more devices connected then things get a bit hairy but for the most part building inside of this thing was really no problem at all as you can see we did not get the g.skill Aegis kit in time we're still using the T Force Nighthawk RGB sticks and as I mentioned I have down clock goes to 2800 speed which is what the aegis kit was rated at it's also worth noting that I've overclocked the Rison 320 200 G ever so slightly to 3.8 gigahertz on all four cores and I could have maybe gotten away with a little bit more but I didn't want to chance it I forgot to mention this motherboard only has a single 4 pin EPS connector for the CPU power so didn't want to push it but enough jibber-jabber let's see how this thing games I've jumped into Doom as you can see and we are using the Vulcan API and yeah Vulcan on ultra ultra settings guys 1920 by 1080 and look at that a hundred and thirty hundred and forty FPS not bad GP is getting a little warm I'd like to see it a little cooler than 80 the nice thing about the system is that it has an AMD GPU which means you could easily get a free sync supported display that'd be a lot cheaper than an equivalent g-sync panel by the way sorry for the Cherry MX blue switches that I'm actually clocking on right now if it's a little bit noisy all these peripherals in fact it is including the gaming chair from Oracle's sister brand that the right term sister brand brother brand I don't to be accused of being sexist it is 2018 after all but all these accessories are part of the Thunder x3 line this is the a k7 keyboard it's got RGB lighting of course you can also choose which Cherry MX switches you want with the keyboard it's offered in a variety of flavors and it also has an included wrist rest which is pretty comfy also comfy is the rm5 Gaming Mouse I thought this mouse was gonna feel worse because it's a pretty cheap Mouse but I actually really like the shape it seems like all these peripherals have some sort of teal accent on them and the teal acts that you see on the mouse is actually rubberized so it has a pretty solid grip not to mention Imran switches which feel great I'm shocked what kind of frame rates were getting right now we could probably scale up to 1440 and still get over 60fps I'm gonna try it in a sec the h7 is the headset that I'm wearing that's got a detachable mic and I have the volume really low right now so I can actually hear myself talk on camera but they're super comfortable and they look pretty cool from what I can tell on a little monitor there which is of course the most important part of any gaming headset all right while we're loading here the chair also is very comfy it's got adjustable arm rests and stuff they twist and turn you can change the height oh I'm already I'm already as low as it gets and yes my feet can touch the floor shut up but all these accessories from Thunder x3 are pretty darn affordable so if you if you're on a budget maybe or just looking to save some coin and you really like teal check them out I'll throw some links in the description alright hold on let's switch this up we're going to 14:40 baby aha just as I suspected just over 60fps I'm really diggin the the price to performance here of this rig so far now granted this is doom and the Vulkan API not every game supports bulk and of course so why don't we switch gears here - maybe GTA 5 I always go to GTA 5 because it does a good job of taxing both the CPU and the GPU it's also a very scalable game so regardless of the specs that you're rocking as long as they're not super potato you can usually tweak the settings enough to get the game running smoothly so alright here we go graphics 1920 by 1080 we have MS AAA off let's leave it off for now we'll turn FXAA off as well and we've got pretty much a blend here it looks like the game has already sort of you know configured the settings that it thinks we should be running at considering our hardware and it looks like a mix of high and very high settings texture qualities very high shader quality shadow qualities at high grasses at normal soft shadows or soft extended distance scaling hasn't been turned on doll let's just let's just jump in and see what we get Franklin come on Franklin holy moly are we really getting like 7080 FPS in GTA 5 I'm just gonna get into the street into the thicker parts of Los Santos see our performance holds up there now be honest the game doesn't look quite as crispy let's say oh wow that was Wow always look at the road when you're driving let this be a lesson to all of you as I was saying the game doesn't look why it is crispy as it could because we don't have any sort of anti-aliasing enabled that's for sure gonna tank our frame rate let's just see what happens did I mention the GP is not overclocked well I did now I did max out the power limit slider though just to make sure we've got a little bit more juice pumping through I'm gonna see what happens if I turn MSAA on all right 2x msaa enabled that brings us down to okay so 2x isn't it's not a game it's not a game killer but you can definitely see that we've dropped maybe 5 to 10 FPS on average but of course I personally like the way msaa looks a lot more than FXAA edges look at that sharper bit more natural I feel like only the most privileged and spoiled of gamers would would scoff at the level of performance that this $500 rig is pumping out right now and I mean if you want to compare how this looks right now to the console experience in the same title it's just it's just you can't you just can't even compare it the difference is really night and day and I guess the moral the story here is that you don't need to spend $1000 plus to get that experience you guys let me know what you think I'm sure you've already whipped up your PC part picker lists and drop them in the comments telling me what a terrible job I did and how yours is much better that's totally fine actually the more options the merrier for anyone who's looking to build something like this but guys thank you so much for tuning in to this one again links to
