Ultimate Bang for Your Buck 1080p Gaming System Build

2018-12-03
welcome back to hadron box today we're going to be building the best value 1080p gaming PC you can get right now we spent a bit of time over the last few months talking about the best value components we've done a few videos on CPUs and GPUs and of course we're always on the lookout for absolute bargain buy so today's build is all about taking our recommendations for the best bang for your buck components and putting them into a highly capable bill targeting 1080p 60fps at decent quality settings in modern games we already have a build video up on the channel for the best bang for your buck of 1440p build so if you're after a higher-end system we recommend checking that one out but here we're focusing in on mid-range 1080p gaming for a low price so let's start with the CPU is still a very obvious choice here for the best bang for your buck and that's the Rison 5 2600 this chip is still available for a hundred and sixty dollars through amazon and has been for the last few months offering great performance thanks to its six cores and twelve threads plus it supports overclocking right from the get-go well it's going to be overkill for gaming at 1080p with a mid-range GPU we've gone with the Rison five 2600 because it will give your system room to grow as you upgrade your GPU down the line and it'll remain very capable unless you go right up to a flagship GPU like an RT X 2080 or 20 atti it also offers unbeatable productivity performance in this price bracket so if you want to do a bit of content creation or game streaming you really aren't going to find anything better for around that 160 dollar mark we'd also recommend the arisin 320 200 G for more budget-conscious shoppers at $95 powering that CPU with a mid-range GPU still won't lead to CPU bottlenecks in most games but for this build verizon v 2600 is what we're using well actually the 2600 X because I don't have a 2600 on hand right now either way there's no better bang for your buck CPU right now what motherboard you choose is also obviously a big consideration and there are lots of a.m. for compatible motherboards on the market right now so finding a good one is hard but when you're packin a risin 5 2600 the obvious choice is something beef 50 because you can still overclock on p450 and they're well suited to rise in five there's not a huge need to go up to export 74 a build like this once again for this build we're using MSI's be for 50m mortar and that's for a couple of reasons firstly in our B 450 motherboard vrm test the MSI be 450 tomahawk had excellent vrm performance and the mortar uses the same theorem design this means we're getting great power delivery and cooling that suitable for not just risin five twenty six hundred overclocking but rise in seven overclocking should you choose to upgrade in the future the mortar is also a little cheaper than tomahawk both are available for around 100 to 120 dollar mark and still offer great features like us beat C and six channel audio which you don't always get on the cheaper boards the most important component in this build is the GPU and for 1080p gaming right now there is one clear standout option the AMD Radeon rx 570 the rx 570 is available right now for as long as a hundred and forty dollars with two free games bundled in making it an absolute steal for budget gamers and honestly there's not a lot of competition looking at our performance started from the past year the rx 570 is the winner in terms of cost per frame or pure gaming value by a mile the newest competitors would be the nvidia geforce gtx 1063 gigabyte and Radeon rx 580 but right now neither are as good value as the rx 570 with an Rx 570 new system you'll be looking at 1080p 60 FPS gameplay in modern titles like battlefield 5 hitman 2 and Forte's our horizon for using ultra settings and even in poorly optimized games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey you can still expect decent performance at 1080p using it optimized settings and that's all for just a hundred and forty bucks this exact model we're using Hebe for this build is the gigabyte horas rx 570 this was the cheapest rx5 seven you could get in australia though you should always check with your local retailers to see which one is the best value for you currently in the United States it looks like power color will sell you a red dragon rx 574 below $150 so again check your local retailers for memory here we've gone with 16 gigabytes of ddr4 3000 from Team drew it was actually a big toss up for this video between 16 gigabytes and 8 gigabytes we tend to find 16 gig to be better for gaming and will future-proof your system a bit better than 8 gigabytes but naturally you can save a bit of cash opting for 8 gig instead pricing is currently around $85 for 8 gigabytes and a dual channel kit compared to 110 dollars for 16 gigabytes at the cheapest so you're getting a lot better bang for your buck opting for 16 gigabytes for just that little bit more money here we're using teams t force nighthawk RGB memory because it looks cool for the completed build though if you're not after RGB lighting you can save a few dollars but we definitely recommend at least ddr4 3000 speeds for rice and make sure you also get a dual channel kit with at least two sticks for the rest of the components we recommend using the red stealth box cooler that comes with the risin 5 2600 but our review sample didn't come with one so instead of using these super cheap cryo read ml na that's the stuff post hand in front of me here that just costs all of 20 bucks and basically will suit our cooling is just fine for storage we figure a lot of you guys building a system you like to configure with either whatever you had in your old build or a selection of SSDs and hard drives that makes your Nate so this pal I guess fully up to you but for us we're using the team T force Delta R GB SSD in a 250 gig capacity if you don't already have a brute SSD this is actually very affordable at the moment it's a basic yet capable sided drive and it's currently available for just 50 bucks so it's a really good buy there RGB lighting is pretty cool as well for the case let's get this MSI motherboard box out of the way for just one second heat here we're using the deep cool mat Rex 55 RGB this is a seriously great buy for a budget case it's just $75 and comes with three 120 millimeter RGB fans in the front or it's available for as little as 45 dollars with no facts clear the RGB fan version is popular because it's currently out of stock at Newegg again though we recommend shopping around to find something that you like that will fit into your budget and for our bill also be adding in an exhaust fan into this case and finally we have the power supply hiding behind here you can't go past the Corsair cx-5 50m this thing can be for as low as 50 bucks it's 80 plus bronze certified and semi modular making it the perfect PSU for budget builders so that's everything going into this build and for the price we're looking at around 650 us which is a great price for a highly capable bang for your buck 1080p build in 2018 with a bit of future proofing built in us aziz are looking at around $1,000 for a similar build from p ck skier so again that's a great price for this sort of gaming pc and i've talked about the components though let's get into the build process okay so now everything is done we've shown off the build using some sexy b-roll and here couldn't be happier with what we've been able to achieve for $650 this is basically the ultimate bang for your buck gaming PC for the holiday season I'm sure this will make a great gift for Steve because if there's one thing he doesn't have enough of right now it's fully built systems capable of 1080p 60fps gaming but let's not tell Steve about my Christmas plans we'll keep that a surprise for him as for overclocking the Rison 520 600 using this cheap cooler and the B 450 M mortar we're looking at a four point one gigahertz all core overclock at one point three three volts with CPU temperatures around 85 degrees Celsius which considering the size of this cooler and it's dirt cheap price is a very good result haven't missed about too much with GPU overclocking but of course that's possible as well with the RX 570 anyway that's it for this build video if you want to check out the prices for any of the components we used in this build we have links to them in the description below give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it consider supporting us on patreon to get access to our
