you know I have to admit over the years and I'm not that old so admittedly it hasn't been many years I've realized that I've tended to drift more toward the aesthetic play when it comes to PC builds like this and what I'll usually do is I'll show you the finished product and I'll say hey by the way I linked parts down below but I've also given you cheaper options as well if you don't want to make it look as pretty or you don't want to go with this beefy a cooler or as nice a case whatever you can always play with the parts but in this video I wanted to build something that was practical it was purely a budget play I didn't want to throw in a $4,000 CPU and a $10,000 graphics card array just for the heck of it I wanted to do something that I would do personally with my own money on a tight budget and the word tight is a relative term there obviously 800 bucks - you might seem like not a lot of money or maybe a ton of money but I think Angra dollars is a sweet spot and that's how much it cost me or would have cost me to build this right here so first I'm gonna show you a build log I hope you enjoy that second of the video it's just a PC tech porn spot if you will and then I'm going to show you some in-game tests we're going to use MSI Afterburner monitor CPU and GPU ttle ization memory system Ram graphics card memory all that good jazz so you can see how balanced this is because that was the goal again to build a balanced system for around eight hundred bucks a lot of people ask me for you know build recommendations in this price range I think this is the best bang for the buck you can get arguably you could probably cheap out in a few other cases maybe get a bit of graphics card you can get a weaker CPU in a better card definitely if you want to kind of switch it up that way but I think this is a very balanced system for the average consumer who maybe streams and games and really that's about it so let's start with the build process I hope you enjoy so with that out of the way next I'm gonna show you some in-game footage now this is just me playing these games I'm not running the in-game benchmarks because I don't think sometimes doesn't give benchmarks are indicative of real-world performance so this is just me running through some section of set and map and then I also had MSI from our open so you could see the necessary utilizations and pivoting ram usage you know GPU CPU ization all 12 threads for the 2600 here and then I recorded everything that you're going to see with Nvidia shadowplay we can do that because with 1660 here and it tends to be pretty low in terms of its overhead so I think that was a good choice here I do hope you enjoy I'm not gonna bother narrating this part because I think again the utilizations the you know which components being leveraged more in a certain game that we're testing is pretty self-explanatory so uh yeah you don't think my voice anymore here we go now all of what you've just seen kind of ties back into the purpose of this build it's easy to just throw extra money into better cables right I mean come on like this is these like daisy-chained PCIe cables not pretty I've got the ketchup and mustard 24-pin I'm sure this was cringy this part of the build was just also this case it's pretty expensive I recommend going with just the the regular H 500 mints EXT this one's like 150 bucks or so I think originally H 500 was like $70 so you're paying more than twice the original retail this chassis to get like a custom painted shroud and some overwatch effects so unless you're a huge fan of overwatch I recommend just going with a regular H 500 but I wanted to build in it because and just I thought it would be a nice change of pace so that aside I think the cables were the biggest just yeah issue with the aesthetic play of this everything else I think looks fine but again I could spend 50 bucks on some cheap cables and it would look decent but that's arguably 50 bucks I could have spent into a better graphics card 16 60 TI or maybe a gtx 1070 on the used market or a 1080i so you seen i'm saying like you can allocate money wherever you want but in this case i tried to spend as much as i could on the cpu and the graphics card in a decent case you don't want to trash case i think that's a little too far against the aesthetic play but yeah what do you think by the way if you want to build the system or one like it you can find the parts used here in the video description they're usually tied to our amazon our new affiliate account so we had a small kickback it's like one two or three percent most of the time if you buy part by at the link more that in this video right here but for now i'm gonna sign out let me know what you think about this build just in terms of budget I know aesthetically I could have done a lot better usually I do cable management was pretty good but I mean apart from that like what are you gonna do with stuff like this so yeah be gentle with me in the comments with respect to aesthetics but performance wise what would you have done differently I'm open to all suggestions I'm sure you could have done something better for a particular game or if you're going for like a pure gaming rig maybe an cheap out on the CPU a bit more but I'd say this is balanced and that was what I was going for to begin with still or graphics card was bottlenecking as most of the time which surprised me even in 1080p so really I think the next thing I would do is upgrade this good thing is this be 450 board I mean the whole a import platform in general is rather future-proof so I think going with AMD in that sense is a logical choice though Intel would usually give you a small margin in most games I would pick AMD is the better all-around CPU because again extra threads I think the platform is more stable long term and the price is it's just right so yeah with that if you guys like the video thumbs up you have to do we're at subscribe
