$600 ITX PC Build List

2016-10-30
got my cheese nips and we are ready to go Nabisco is not a sponsor of this video but I do love cheese nips so this video is going to do is refine the $800 ITX PC build that we built a few weeks ago it's in one of these cards I don't one of these sides I don't know which side it's on but check out that video if you haven't already eight hundred bucks we built a very solid 1080p and even light 1440p ITX gaming PC this video is going to seek to refine that a bit but negatively because we only have six hundred dollars in our budget this time I'm not going to build this PC because I've already built a better version of it but I can say with certainty through this game this computer will be able to run games in 1080p no problem even in high settings thanks to the components we've selected so I've used PC part picker here and that's because it's very easy to see the price breakdowns each of the parts and where you can buy them for the cheapest and I also have every part that I talked about in this video linked in this video's description most of those are Amazon affiliate links or just new a get their Amazon links they are tied to my associate account so if you buy something via that link it doesn't have to be the part in particular I do get a small kickback for that I don't make any secret at it so if you guys are interested in purchasing anything on Amazon using any of those links would definitely send me a smaller kickback it adds it up it just keeps things going for me I do appreciate all those contributions even if it's not you're not directly giving me money but it helps me out so first up I want to talk about the processor the i-5 6400 here I recommend at least a true quad core experience I can't recommend AMD at this point they're platforms just too old they're single core performances out the window and until then gets here I'm sticking with Intel sorry that's how it's going to be single core performance is just just it just it's dominated by Intel at this point modern games do demand for physical cores and that's exactly what I've given you here with the i-5 6400 relatively low clock speed but you're still going to have 4 physical cores much better than an i3 even overclocked if you decide to do the base clock overclocking method with the i3 6100 so I 5 it is and then we're going to need an ITX motherboard this is an ITEX PC of course following suit with an ode to o2 build we have an MSI h1 10 I Pro you can find this on new egative of the the mail in rebate included but about 70 bucks that's a pretty good price for an ITX motherboard if you have amazon while they're out of stock currently but Amazon once they do get those in stock will have it up for around the same price and RAM I've got with a single 8 gigabyte stick of Corsair Vengeance lpx this is about a well around 40 bucks on Amazon I'll go with one a gigabyte in because if you do want to upgrade to 16 gigabytes later on you do have that option versus if you want with 2 4 gigabyte DIMMs your going to have to just ditch both of them if you want to upgrade to 16 gigabytes so you do have that option later on a few games do take advantage of 16 gigabytes now but for the most part eight will be fine you won't be running a dual channel but that's not going to change much either I have already proven that and tested that a data Premier SP 550 120 gigabytes solid-state drive I recommend a solid-state drive is going to change the just the entire experience with your PC everything's going to load so much snappier you're going to have boot times are going to be literally in the seconds like you're not even going to exceed probably 10 seconds with your boot times as long as you install your operating system on your solid-state drive you can pick it up right now on Amazon for 43 bucks usually it's around 38 39 so that might fluctuate a bit but that's still a pretty solid price you know places with a PNY and ocz try on from Toshiba any of those brands I do recommend so you can be flexible with this list of course I just do like a data and the reliability and the read and write speeds for the price next up we're going to need more general storage for games we have a one terabyte Western Digital caviar blue hard drive 50 bucks the hard drive prices really don't change so we're going to stick with that that's a solid hard to strive there I have used one in the past I'm not going to recommend anything that I haven't specifically used or had hands-on experience with so except for well except for this the GTX 1050 Ti I haven't gotten my hands on the 1050 Ti Nvidia did Sun one but I will say this game will handle this graphics card will handle 1080p no problem especially with an i5 behind it in fact this made of being our bottleneck in a few scenarios maybe maybe more than that so this would be something you should probably consider upgrading later on if you expect to move up to maybe 1440p gaming the i-5 will handle 1440p but you'll need a beefier graphics card this is kind of a run-of-the-mill intro card so 1050 Ti I would equate to like a 960 from Maxwell's generation 60 will still play 1080p no problem at around 60 FPS with high settings and you have an i-5 to back that up so you're going to be sitting very well then we have a cooler Master Elite 110 this is a cube case I'm not a fan of cube cases but at least they tried to make this one kind of look like it really I didn't really blow up the image very much at least they kind of try to make it look like a subwoofer kind of it just it'll blend in with your furniture a bit more than some kind of like white ostentatious curve box or whatever and this one's really cheap so if you want to get the $10 promo that mail-in rebate there's going to bring this price down to 30 bucks even for 40 dollars it's a great case and I have played with this one a few times actually add a few micro centers I've been to lastly we're going to need a power supply the ITX case does support full ATX power supplies we have an EVGA 500 Y 80 plus bronze I've you're not scuse me not 80 plus bronze it's just 80 plus something you're not going to notice much of a difference but I have used this one a few times in some budget builds very quiet power supply if you're worried about that it is very quiet even under full load and will power everything very well you actually have a bit of breathing room the 1050 Ti is not going to pull very much from from the wall and the i5 is also a very low-power chip so 500 watts is actually more than you would need say you can get away with 430 watt but if you do plan on upgrading your graphics card later on you will have that breathing room I recommended 36 bucks from Amazon boom you're good to go so that's what I have so far folks for 600 bucks well yeah 600 bucks the mail-in rebates do bring it tad bit below $600 so if you don't consider those 610 620 dollars that's still within our area of breathing room for $600 now one thing that I didn't include that I'm sure if you've you're going to be upset about is a CPU cooler a custom CP cooler or third-party cooler I did include one because I didn't have the room for it in the budget there are compromises you could make to include one the Keurig c7 is my recommendation I have tested this and it's a it's a great cooler for the price so if you're looking for some kind of ITX cooler the c7 is one that I would choose but it is thirty bucks so you're gonna have to shave off some I don't know sure you have to shave off the money somewhere else I don't recommend cutting in your graphics card any more than we already have you might could just ditch the one terabyte and replace this with a 240 you'll have less storage but you only be paying about 60 bucks versus around 90 so then you'd have some room for a CPU cooler there and you'd keep your price at around the same $600 range so that's the one thing that you could change I wouldn't change anything else to be honest you could change the form factor that might you know affect your price a bit but if you want to stay within the ITX form factor this is the way that I would go just based off of my experience with building pcs I've built about 20 of these pcs this year alone so you know this is my first rodeo but if I had 600 bucks and I was supposed to build a 90 X PC this is this is almost exactly what I would build if not D build so if you have any questions concerns leave those in the comments below this has just been a quick little you know what would I do with X amount of money I feel like I'm experienced enough in PC building now and I've had my hands on enough parts to know what's good and what's not so you may have different experiences with these parts but all in all I will say a lot of solid 1080p gaming PC and HTPC for about 600 bucks very versatile and you actually can actually you know carry the thing it's not that large either that's my PC build 600 bucks let me know what you think about it in the comments below and share it with your friends at their student building something similar to this this is Salazar studio thanks for checking out the PC port picker list with me links to the parts are in the video's description thanks for learning with this
