hello good people ever here with Hardwick in X and M Assad challenged us to build a budget themed km EPC around the be 450 platform essentially this build should be able to game at 1080p without a problem you should also be able to do general productivity tasks as well as a little bit of streaming so it's really geared towards a you know an all-in-one type of system that can do pretty much everything that you divided nothing to intensive something that's in the middle ground when it comes to productivity gaming and of course a little bit of streaming as well so we agree to that and as you can see I do have it set up right behind me so let's check it out right after this so you're saying this is the most colorful way to cool I'm telling you the master liquid ml 360 our RGB is the way to go cooler masters new 360 millimeter all in one liquid cooler is all about performance in style with the custom low resistance radiator and dual chamber pump wood sleeve tubing for that premium look while being totally flexible the fan strike your balance for air pressure and airflow with transparent blades to perfectly match the colorful combination of the pump then you can sync via its own controller or through various addressable and 12-volt RGB connectors alright perhaps you should check it out in the scripture Milla all right so our CPU of choice was the Rison 520 600 X priced at $230 it's about 30 dollars more than the 2600 but since it has a TDP of 95 Watts versus 65 watts for the 2600 overclocking Headroom will be a little bit better this is because things like xf r2 and precision boost to will take advantage of the additional power Headroom the six core 12th fret design may be a little bit overkill for games but at the same time the intent for this build is an all-around PC for work streaming and gaming moving on to the real foundation of this build meet the MSI P 450 tomahawk and you can pick this up for as low as $100 now I know that pairing up a hundred dollar motherboard with a $230 processor may sound a bit crazy but hear me out for a second because I think DB 450 lineup is actually a lot better for these types of rising to Bill's than the more expensive x4 70 platform first and foremost the B 450 chipset only supports a single GPU but at the same time in this price range who is really going to be using crossfire or SLI anyways past that AMD has equipted with pretty much all the same technology STX 470 just with a little bit less connectivity all around now this point in time you're probably wondering why you should buy a B 450 motherboard over a B through 50 since both technically support divides into processors first and foremost is the new chipsets compatibility with AMD's store mi technology store mi allows you to combine an SSD hard drive and part of the system memory as local cache for a very fast very efficient storage setup think of it as obtained on steroids and I'll be covering a head-to-head comparison between Andy storm on technology and until octane so definitely stay tuned for that video very soon now instead of simply updating their B through 50 board msi took the be 450 tomahawk to a very different route and that's why i ended up choosing it for this build other than the cool overall design which looks absolutely amazing for $100 it features a more extended pwm heatsink design there's also finally a BIOS flashback option which actually works without a CPU or memory installed also if things go wrong during the BIOS update process it will simply allow you to revert to an older version without any issues probably the best thing about B 450 is its ability to overclock reisen processors now that might not sound like news but remember the competing Intel H 370 which costs about the same amount of money doesn't allow for any overclocking at all which is disappointing the amount of features you get for the price you pay is pretty amazing as well for example msi added USB 3.1 gen2 type A and type C connectors on the rear i/o there's an nvme m2 slot with access to four PCI lanes for ultra fast storage speeds and six fan headers placed at pretty logical locations of course msyn also added some onboard RGB lining and compatibility with their mystic light sync speaking of lighting if you want to add some flair to your PC and by that I meant by just adding some subtle RGB lighting the NR max TBR TV fans are an excellent addition they feature these unique halo arc illuminations around the frame that I'm personally a huge fan of plus they can easily be saved to be an msi so mystic lighting software which is nice and remember this is just an option so if you're willing to expand your budget for this build investing in some great RGB fence like the NMX TB is something to consider for memory I went with Corsairs 16 gigabyte ddr4 vengence lpx modules rated at 2400 megahertz now these guys go for around $150 and it's refreshing to go with something a non RGB and low profile it also matches the B 450 tomahawk board really well because I do want to mention the speed of this memory module because it is at 24 hour megahertz and while it can be overclocked to a more respectable 2666 megahertz Rison does perform a little bit better with faster memory saving some money and going with a 24 hundred megahertz kit and then overclocking a bit might be a good option alright so for storage I chose the Toshiba RC 100 240 gigabyte and vme SSD this little guy cost less than $80 and sports read speeds well about 1.6 gigabytes per second and writes over a gigabyte per second again for $80 and that's incredible considering that there are SATA base SSDs in the market for that price now for story my game library I threw in a one terabyte Western Digital caviar hard drive which should do the trick but I did find a 2 terabyte 5400 rpm hard drive on Amazon for around $60 which is about the same price as the one terabyte drive now onto the graphics card which is the most exciting part and I went with MSI's RX 580 mech a gigabyte OC now this thing is designed for better cooling over the reference based models the OC mode allows you to achieve core clock speeds as far as 13 90 megahertz with memory clock speeds over 8000 megahertz it features dual Torx 2.0 fans for effectively cooling the six millimeter copper heat pipes located underneath a large heatsink the fans stop spinning completely when the GPU temps are below 60 C giving users the flexibility when it comes to acoustic performance you also get a solid brushed aluminum backplane with some aggressive design elements and the led logo on the side is RGB so you can control that through MSI's gaming app powering the whole system is Corsairs CX 515 non-modular PSU with an 80 plus bronze certification for $50 this should be more than enough to power the 2600 X and the RX 5 80 plus it does have a little bit of room upgradability down the road now given that this is a non modular unit you're pretty much stuck with the cables that come with it so if you're looking to go a bit beyond the budget we have over here to maybe add some visual elements to your build cable montz basic mod flex extension kits will be an excellent addition as it's simply an extension rather than a full kit for the psu plus around $35 it comes in a variety of color options so that's pretty awesome the case of choice for this build is the fantex p300 mid tower ATX enclosure for $60 I think it's an awesome buy because it comes with a tempered glass side panel a separate power supply shoutout RGB lighting integrations clean interior designed to work with and personally speaking I really like its relatively compact form factor I went with the black and white Berrien which is priced a little bit higher than the standard edition but you're really not losing anything in terms of features aside from the color options so that's nice well now that we've taken a look at the parts list here's a little montage of me putting together the entire PC and here is the final build in all its glory I'm actually really happy with the way how this turned out working the fan tech speed 300 case is an absolute breeze you're really not gonna have any issues with cable management because I certainly didn't experience any of them whatsoever routing them to inside the main chamber they do have separate cutouts so that's great the wine interior does a really good job showcasing debe 450 tomahawk motherboard from hem si what's really cool about this wine interior that's inside the PT around a case is that it diffuses the ambient lighting on the motherboard really well so I really like that also shout-out to fantex for including a subtle RGB element right between the tempered glass panel and the separate power supply shroud it just completes the whole built in my opinion and looks fantastic I mean you can just literally take a look at it behind me it looks great I absolutely love the way how this looks so having looked at this PC we obviously have to talk about performance so why don't we get into that now initially I decided to go with the stock cooler that came with the Rison 2600 X but for my previous reviews in the past I did mention that if you want to squeeze a little bit of performance by overclocking the chip or if you do intend to plan some overclocking for the 2600 X you're actually much better off investing in an aftermarket cooling solution so I decided to swap the stock cooler with thermal takes flow ring to 40 millimeter a i/o cooler and not only does it come with a high performance waterblock sleeve tubing's but it also has RGB lighting so if you do want to add lighting to your system without investing in LED strips or under goal lighting this is a good way to save cost on that end but it also squeezes a little bit of performance out of the 2600 X the to 120 millimeter high static pressure fans come with this beautiful frame elimination that looks very subtle and sleek and interestingly this kit also works with Amazon Alexa talk about controlling fan speeds their voice that's pretty cool anyways back to performance and I managed to overclock the 2600 X to four point one two five gigahertz at one point four to five volts using rising master software the memory speed also was set to twenty four hundred megahertz given that this is an inexpensive rise incompatible kid I ran a few synthetic tests comparing stock versus overclock settings to see if there is a difference and I shouldn't be expecting but let's take a look kicking things off with Cinebench r15 at stock settings we got a score of 1300 and with chip or clocked at four point one two five gigahertz we got us a bump on that score by seventy six points which isn't too bad but I'll take that any time of the day next up with blender rendering the BMW seen at stock settings the system took 6 minutes and 12 seconds to complete it compared to 5 minutes and 39 seconds with the overclock moving on to some productivity and I mean I did really push this chip really hard with 4k editing so I rendered a 12 minute 4k project with GS 5 footage and its stock saying so system took 24 minutes and 51 seconds compared to 23 minutes and 50 seconds with the overclocked so you're really gonna be saving only a minute which isn't too much but at least did something and now on to some gaming performance starting off with 3d mark firestrike the system scored 12,000 8:04 with stock settings compared to 12,000 8:44 with the overclock again very similar performance moving on to battlefield 1 at 1080p set to ultra settings we pretty much saw similar results while being I did experience a little bit of a frame drop with the overclock and then we have overwatch at 1080p set 2 epic settings again same results here with both settings averaging well over a hundred and ten frames per second our last test here is doom at 1080p set to ultra using the Vulcan API and as you can see once again we're seeing similar results with both of stock and overclocked settings averaging well over 145 frames per second CP temperatures were respectable at stock sinks with the stock cooler the 2600 ex ran at 34 C idle and 75 C under load but with the overclock using the Thermaltake float lee iacocca 2600 ex ran around 74 degrees celsius under load and 46 degree Celsius during idle now we want to add some peripherals to complete this setup and we chose MSI's GK 40 vigor gaming combo set and this comes with a basic RGB membrane keyboard and of course the basic Mouse it gets a job done and for $65 we've we thought that there was a perfect fit for this build and when you put together the parts list on Amazon at the time of making this video including an operating system and of course the msi a peripheral scent you're looking at around just a tad about thousand dollars which is actually a really good system or i guess a good setup for the price do note that this is excluding the thermal take a iook cooler when you add that factor in you're looking at just a little bit over $1300 for our canadian audience memory express is a place to go for home business and gaming electronics you can try before you buy especially great for peripherals by visiting one of their stores in winnipeg Calgary or Greater Vancouver and more they do custom pcs and will beat any Canadian price guarantee and that about wraps up this bill video hope you guys enjoyed let me know what you guys think about the components have chosen for this particular PC also what do you guys think about
