Best Value Budget PC Build: Intel Pentium G4560

2017-03-30
hey welcome back to harbor unboxed today's video won't be covering Verizon in fact there won't be any kind of rise in testing included at all hmm instead I'm actually circling back to a CPU everyone couldn't stop talking about just before the rise and release you got it the pentium g 4560 back in january i put together an extensive benchmark video that covered the g 45 60s gaming prowess in detail I totaled that video the ultimate gaming benchmark guide and looking back you guys seemed of agreed that video was followed up with a modified version which included testing with the Radeon rx 470 and that video was even more popular after that I left the G 45 60 content to cool off and I moved on to other things that's and I had always planned to create an affordable G 45 60 build video a few weeks later but as more and more content piled up I never got around to it coolermaster did however send over a power supply case and a few other bits to make a budget G 45 60 build video and with so many of you still asking for that content I thought was at that time I made it happen so here we are G 45 60 in hand and a heap of really nice affordable PC hardware I picked up the asrock h1 10m - HDS motherboard as the name suggests this is H 110 motherboard providing you have bass version 7.1 or newer then the board will happily support cable 8 processors the reason I picked up this motherboard is because it's extremely affordable yet will allow us to extract the maximum performance from the G 4560 processor that said we will be limited to ddr4 2400 memory but that's fine so given that we are going with an 8 gigabyte kit of g.skill ripjaws v series ddr4 2400 memory for storage we have a kingston uv1 40 128 gigabyte as the boot drive and this is an exceptionally good value SSD for this build we're going to be targeting lower end 1080p gaming so a mixture of medium to higher quality settings will probably be used for the most part and for that we have the geforce gtx 1050 the RX 460 is also an acceptable option here but for the sake of this build I went with the tiny msi gtx 1050 2 g OC finally powering everything is the affordable Coolermaster master what like 500 power supply this is an Australian only option or at least four regions with 200 to 240 voltage inputs from the wall 500 watts is considerably more power than what this bill will require but down under this is a great value unit so you will easily get away with a decent quality say 300 watt model capping off the build is the simple yet stylish looking cooler master master box light 3 again this is a very affordable bit of kit the case weighs just 3.6 kilograms and is very compact even for a micro ATX case still inside there is plenty of room you can fit a 240 millimeter radiator 345 millimeter long graphics card 157 millimeter tall CPU cooler 13.5 inch drive and of course a 2.5 inch drive as well all said and done this bill will come in at well under $500 u.s. or around 600 Aussie for a completely new gaming PC this is exceptional value but how old is it game well let's go find out how's it going watch so there you have it a very capable budget gaming rig for those of you seeking loads more benchmark data check out my previous G 4560 performance videos I'll be sure to link them in the video description really demanding games such as battlefield one played superbly using the G 45 60 and GTX 1050 combo with the medium quality preset the game still looked great at 1080p and in the multiplayer portion of the game framerate stayed above 60fps for the most part the experience was smooth and enjoyable there was the odd hitch here and there but I believe that's really down to the fact that we're using 8 gigabytes of ddr4 memory this game really requires 16 gigabytes for perfect performance other new triple-a titles such as Mass Effect Andromeda are mostly GPU bound so the emphasis here was really on the GTX 1050 but again using the medium quality preset we saw frame rates hover around 50 FPS for the most part which is very acceptable competitive first-person shooters can be enjoyed using the high quality settings at TEP and here we regularly saw framerate at or above 80 fps most importantly the experience was perfectly smooth with no framerate stutter at all so overall a great budget build and there really is no better option right now for those wanting to build a cheap gaming PC using brand new hardware the cooler master master box-like 3 is a smart choice in my opinion it looks great it's very light and compact and that makes it ideal for loking around 2 LAN parties as for the upcoming Rison alternatives I'm not sure AMD will be able to dethrone the G 4560 anytime soon I will probably have to wait for their next generation AP use for that the 4 core AMD Rison 3 1100 will no doubt be a much better choice in terms of performance but at the expected I think it's about a hundred and thirty dollars EOS it's roughly twice the price speaking of price though there is one big catch that I should mention and that is availability or rather lack thereof right now it seems picking up a g40 560 over in the US is no easy task major online retailers such as newegg.com have been out of stock for a few weeks now while amazon with stock but at $100 us rather than the suggested $62 u.s. price so right now for us shoppers the G 4560 might not actually be an option and that's very disappointing thankfully Down Under we don't seem to have the same availability issues which is strange I picked up one of these just the other day for $72 and the retailer claimed to have dozens of them in stock hopefully stock levels and prices will improve in the u.s. shortly because right now it looks like Intel's being a bit dodgy as the rest of the KB Lake lineup isn't affected before I go to here I would just like to update you guys on some of the content you expect to see on the channel next week what I'm really excited about is the risin 7 1800 X gaming PC giveaway the Beast is complete and so is filming this is a three part series and all episodes will be add next week on the channel along with the details on how to enter the complete PC is worth over two thousand US or three thousand ozzie and it looks amazing so I can't wait to show it off and then hand it over to one lucky subscriber and I should mention this is a global giveaway so anyone can win also in the works for next week is a rise in memory scaling performance video and that should be very interesting perhaps though more interesting that is the fact that games such as ashes of singularity and dota 2 have now been optimized for horizon as a result we are seeing huge gains in these titles for the horizon processes and it's an extremely positive sign of what's to come so that being the case I'll be sure to include these games in my upcoming rising 5 coverage anyway that's about everything for now be sure to stay tuned as there is a heap of exciting content to come I'm your host Steve catch again soon
