alright guys so I decided I want to do a video on a budget bill that we haven't done in quite a while we haven't done a a budget bill dry put my own money on the line last time I sort of did something like that was kind of like for fortnight but I decided to go ahead and do a build designed for people with a higher IQ than 60 that are playing apex legends anyway to see what kind of performance we can get for almost as little as we could spend it EVGA offers a full range of components including video cards motherboards power supplies cases and peripherals regardless of your needs EVGA sure to have you covered to see what EVGA can do for your next build head to EVGA comm about 2400 G showed that we can do decent amount of gaming with high-end titles that require a lot of performance even though we didn't have a video card but what about a title like Apex Legends what's built off the old engine that the original titanfall that's a titanfall was built off of so the graphics are great and you don't need a massive system to run it so I ran over to Micro Center spent about $500 to see what we could get I went a little bit over that budget we'll talk about that at the end but here are the parts that we chose so we are actually stepping the processor down one notch from our 2400 g to a 2200 G we have got that plugging into our asrock B 450 M motherboard normally at micro Center you can get good bundle deals that there were no bundles for the 2200 G and rather than step it up to a 2400 I took the approach of wanting to have a future upgrade in mind which is the graphics card which we mentioned so we went ahead and saved a couple bucks on this to put it towards our graphics card now in terms of memory it's 8 gigs of 2666 ddr4 running in dual channel so we're gonna try and push that up a little bit higher if we can now we've got a 2 terabyte Seagate Barracuda Drive right here but I'm kind of taking a chance here I went with the inland Professional 240 gigabyte SSD coming in at about $27 now for a case I went with the Thermaltake V 100 you can go with any case you want case pricing seems to be kind of all over the place I couldn't find any cases at micro Center in the 20 dollar range this one came in at 34 it's a basic ATX case no frills doesn't even have a window so yeah just basically determine what you want to spend on the box to put your parts in and kind of put a placeholder there and then we've got a 500 watt EVGA 80 plus power supply now this would be extremely overkill for just a 2200 G but like I said we want to do no graphics card and graphics card as those airplanes flying in ruining our shot once again now the best thing that's happened so far in 2019 is the mid-range GPU battle that's happening here we talked earlier or late last year about the RX 590 kind of replacing the rx 580 and we originally had an RX 570 in our cart until we realized we could actually get a power color rx 580 dragon which is an 8 gigabyte card for not 199 bucks was just showing there because of the competition taking place now in the low to mid $200 range the RX 580 got pushed down in price significantly so that's the card we're gonna be using for our discrete card now it all came in at a total including the graphics card with tax a 567 dollars and 76 cents that's $40 and 84 cents and tax we got the graphics card for 168 dollars you can reduce that from the total cost if it performs like you want with just a 2200 G with built in Vega then you can do it for under 400 bucks or if you're like us and you're a little bit of an elitist and you want some GPU 567 bucks so let's go spilled it and see how apex Legends runs so yeah basically je left me because you had to go do some house stuff which yes I'm building this thing which means so this is what you get for approximately five hundred and sixty-seven dollars from Micro Center I made one change to this though will actually feel built it obviously and I guess it turned out alright considering he's a noob in an Apple fanboy but I added a case fan on the front of this case so the thermaltake case I remember which model it was what was the V 100 not a bad case for 30 for $34.99 I got to be honest with you it's got fully intake filters on all the intakes including the side which I have off right now so you can see the build and I think most people can find a 120 or 140 millimeter fan laying around we just use the basic fantex case fan here nothing special about it but that way we're not dealing with purely negative pressure which is what we had here because we had one exhaust fan in the back and that was it so I'm gonna go ahead and button this guy up because we want to see how performance is and house and stuff are without any sort of influence and by that I mean leaving the case side panel off now one thing we didn't mention though is by getting the Radeon rx 580 we actually get three games with this and that's something I want to keep in mind here because who we're speaking to you in this video is someone that's like I really need to build a computer but I don't have a lot of money the apex legends game seems like a lot of fun and I want to play it so we're speaking to the person building a tower specifically to play that game the fact that you can get three games on top of the one you want to play means now you can play four games with this so we're gonna be testing Resident Evil 2 as well with this but of course we're gonna start with out of the box settings we're going to do a small overclock on this because as I've said we overclocked everything around here it's what we do free performance take it so we got to kind of sort of get a baseline here let's go ahead and do this let's start up afterburner like I said so that we can monitor we're gonna run fire strike and we're gonna be comparing obviously a non overclocked to overclocked so here's our baseline with stock CPU and stock graphics card at 10,000 720 and fire strike our individual scores that we can compare a 14,000 five seven one seventy two eighty eight and a forty seven eleven now because we're running a be 450 M motherboard this is the asrock variant we're not going to pushing the overclocks very far so we're gonna go from 3.5 to about three point 9 so I'm just gonna bump up the frequency actually we can do 39 50 because I've already tested this actually so 3950 just below 5 gigs we're gonna go 1.4 to their 1.45 I guess and then we are running the XMP on the memory so we're gonna go ahead and load the XMP profile which is our 2666 now we want to give a little more cooling to the CPU it's at 2,000 rpm on the stock fan this is the stock 2200 G fan it's the one that's really skinny it's like the what we have in here is about half the thickness of this so it is definitely intended for a small TDP when you start overclocking on a stock cooler again attack this thickness you can only go so far so that's all we're changing here we're not changing any of the power saving modes any of that stuff just bump in the frequency up to 30 39 50 2666 on the memory it was 21 33 prior to that and we know risin likes faster ram so we're gonna see what kind of improvement that gets us along with our graphics card overclock so we actually gained performance without even overclocking the graphics card yet just because the 2200 G was holding back the RX 580 slightly so if we go ahead and pull up our original scores here you can see we went from a 10-7 20 to an 11,000 150 but our physics core came up quite a bit so 72 88 up to an 85 56 this is what pulled our whole score up obviously so we're gonna do now is again these same tests we're gonna go ahead and save this one and then we're gonna run it with overclocked graphics card only a hundred megahertz I'm pushing it plus 100 which is actually not bad for the RX 580 which is gonna give us a core speed of about 1450 could probably push it farther but I'm going to a number that I believe most people could achieve rather than running it right ragged edge overclock which isn't going to be very indicative of a kind of mass result so that's my logic there and then we're gonna run game testing with the speeds at which we left it over so our baseline was at 10 720 we're now at 11,000 689 the original graphics card score was a 14 625 now it's a 15 5 9 8 like I said all I did was a plus 100 it was 1350 now it's plus 100 maxed out the temp limit and power limit and I pushed the memory clock plus 50 now that's 50 times 4 so I actually pushed it by 200 so it makes our effective what 8200 I think that's how math works yeah fun fact I said Orwell spoiler I guess I said the start of this video we were gonna test it with a 2,200 G only with the APU Phil actually tested that and I believe in 1080p he was getting in like 20 to 30 fps and low and then with 720p was getting 40 to 50 FPS on low so not great this is where 2400 G would probably do a bit better but the fact that we got a discrete GPU in here rx 580 that stayed within our budget we are definitely gonna be doing all right I think also I've never played this game so I'm gonna be completely lost and I'm playing on Phil's account so that's fine with me I know one thing phil was telling me is when you're above the map like this looking down this is the worst FPS you'll ever get because you can see the whole map the draw distance is huge I mean there's a lot for it to be handling here but obviously once you're down inside the map that's when you're gonna get you know the they have PS you'd expect when you're playing so we're getting 58 hey guns so we're getting what 90 FPS not terrible definitely not 144 but it's over a hundred do this FPS is so solid you could not have built this a year ago for this price no way so it's like our cards get ready to hit about a TC but as we can see we're still solid on our clock nothing's changed it hasn't throttled down so that's good our FPS is still sitting in the 90s so no complaints there it's certainly designed to run at this temperature so it's pretty obvious you could play Apex legends at a hundred FPS with this setup right here again within the five hundred dollar price range which is insane hey you leveled up Phil here welcome so anyway we're gonna go and check out one of the titles that comes with it though like I said Resident Evil 2 probably gonna be a very similar situation I think not an incredibly difficult game to run but a triple-a title that comes with this card nonetheless so so did you get it might as well at least check it Wow look at the FPS so far in this cutscene okay so this is one of the extra modes this is the fourth survivor where you play as one of the Special Forces that was sent in to get the virus and we're down here in the sewers wow that is smooth holy crap Phil look at that it's 115 FPS but man that is smooth now even though we're in the sewers this is still very indicative of what game performance is gonna be like because this is how the whole game is you're not outside in some big large world you're in dark you know very moody lighting type of instances so we get in here another 100 FPS in here I missed his head yeah alright I think it's pretty obvious that this dogs Oh jet jet jet real loud ah no animals were harmed in the filming of this video except for those three what's he a piston here 100 yeah I think it's safe to say that Resident Evil 2 is gonna run just fine over 100 FPS right how can you complain and it's this VC precinct adaptive synced all the sinks kitchen sink it's all here so yeah it's kind of noisy right now because the side panels off I wanted to see if by taking the panel up if the temperatures would drop we're from 82 down to 76 so obviously if you put more fans in this more exhaust fans too when we had this one on the back it's very toasty but by taking the side panel off the temperatures dropped already down to 76 but that's I mean you you can add fans for under $10 a piece you don't need super expensive RGB Maglev type fans and a build like this you wouldn't want to you wouldn't to spend $50 on fans and then not be able to afford a better component that doesn't make any sense but we saw that even if they hit 82 we did not lose any clock speed and what you can see here is that for this very budget-friendly price point you can definitely get into gaming and what we also showed with the 2400 G's you could do the same concept of what we did here by not buying a GPU you'd get less performance than this but you'd probably get 40 or 50 FPS you could enjoy Resident Evil 2 you could play some apex legends probably not super competitively but nonetheless you'd be playing a game rather than wish you could play games because you don't have a computer slap in a very price competitive rx 580 which we put in here out of Micro Center for what under 170 dollars and as you can see a hundred FPS in both games no problems obviously you'd still need a monitor and keyboard and mouse and all that but we don't include those in these budgets nor do we include operating systems because people always either have something there already going to use a TV you can get a box set for 10 bucks or something mouse and keyboard those are all very subjective pieces that you can usually add about a hundred two hundred fifty dollars to your build depending on how nice or cheap you want to go also two operating systems are very creative ways to have operating system like Windows without necessarily having to spend a hundred dollars plus for it we don't condone or talk about those ways around here but anytime I include an OS people get mad and say why'd you include an OS you could totally get it for free and then when we don't include it people say why didn't you put it in OS because that's a costs there's options on both sides of those fences so anyway guys time to go thanks for watching our ultimate apex legends budget build which you can see gets you much more than just Apex legends if you guys have a computer system that you want us to build for a particular title that you want to see us we like to do the minimum spec type deal but we also like to do the ultimate because this is much higher than the minimum specs on this for apex which ironically enough said GT 640 which is like wow I mean okay whatever I digress I'd rather run the 2400 G with no graphics card than that but anyway sound off in the comments below but you guys thought about this build what do what you would change if you could change anything and what do you want us to do in the future with these ultimate budget build series thanks for watching we'll see you in the next one thanks Alaska what we cuz you've got two that come off the keyboard and they said plug them next to each other you get this big old bump yeah now in terms of cable tidiness huh and you keep wall yeah are you done man we're gonna check out a little bit of it I think it's safe to say battle I think it's safe to say that resident evil 5 battlefield 2 Rev resident 5
