so the r5 1400 has been released into the wild and there is currently some mining craze going where all the AMD graphics cards are sold out so today we're doing a PC with a 4 core CPU with 8 threads and also a GTX 10 welcome back to tech yestiny this is brian coming to you guys today with a 744 US dollar PC or if you're in Australia 1063 dollars and today I thought there would be some compromises I really did we were sort of saving money on the case and the power supply but when I started putting this piece it all together and started overclocking it I was surprised I was really shocked and we'll talk about that a little bit later though for now we'll take a look at the prices of the pots we'll do the build and then we'll do the benchmarks to go ah when you can't find the slips and just go man load on this shit so before we move on to the benchmarks overclocking this thing was surprisingly good I was using the cheapest be 350 motherboard I can find I was also using a deep cool gam ax which is a relatively budget line up of CPU coolers and then of course we're using a budget case which didn't have that good of airflow and then we're using a budget pal slice it like it was four components here that we're really cheap and we got a really good overclock for gigahertz on the CPU completely stable and the temperatures were still pretty good now the Cougar MX 200 I was really shocked by this the temperatures were pretty low because it had to included fans and they actually worked pretty well so when that said the overclocks 4 gigahertz on the cpu and we also got the GPU up to two point one five gigahertz so who said budget parts can't rock this hard memory as well I didn't touch on it with the last rise and build that I did but this time we have 21 33 megahertz memory and we've overclocked it to 2666 effective so that is a really decent overclock on the am4 platform and really anything above these speeds won't net you really much of a performance gain especially for the money with something like a GTX 1060 or an rx 580 though I will be doing my own comparison in a video with apples apples to test it for you guys Oh Oh thank you so there it is guys as always the benchmarks do the talking we had GTA 5 1080p high settings over a hundred and twenty FPS on average width is build completely shocked then we had csgo on this brand-new map we were scoring over two hundred twenty average fps and then we move on to overwatch I think we're capping into the one hundred and eighty FPS on that game and then when we moved over to players unknown which is a new game and it's not released it won't be released for a few months but we were getting 60 to 70 FPS at 1080p high now I did set this to ultra and it ran like complete ass so I don't recommend running this game at Ultra at the moment I will be doing some more tests of course it is still a beta so wait for some more updates to roll through but the game was honestly a lot of funnels really surprised at how much this game offered you're dropping like 70 plus people into a battlefield and you've got to be the number one survivor so there was a really cool game that's currently around about $30 on Steam at the moment and then we look at fallout 4 we're getting ultra settings 60 FPS just capped there you don't really want to break the vsync on this game or go over 60 FPS as it will actually break the game engine itself and lastly on those synthetic benchmarks we had Cinebench scoring 850 5cb and the GPU score on fire strike was over 15,000 which on a gtx 1060 is really good however i will be comparing this CPU to the 7700 k with mid-range graphics cards to see how much of a difference there are for you guys who want to save some money i think it's a really good option to see how the r5 1400 i know it's not as good as the 7700 k but i believe it's a lot better value for money so i want to test them head-to-head with mid-range graphics cards and see how they perform and now we'll move on to the case the MX 200 and also those other budget parts now as always i don't recommend doing what i do when i hack things up but if you're adventurous and you want to save some money then you can hack the case off to fit a bigger graphics card or alternatively i would recommend getting a smaller graphics card and with that i also wanted to talk about the prices of gtx 1060 s at the moment they're like two hundred and fifty dollars plus for a six gigabyte edition so they're actually more expensive at the and of course the rs5 70s and five eighties are all sold out so if you guys are into saving money which are noloty you guys are then I'd recommend probably getting like a 1050 TI at the moment which you're going for like 138 dollars or something saving you money for now and then upgrading to a better graphics card in the future when the prices aren't so bad and also on that note with the r5 1400 I'll take a look at that because we had to add the CPU cooler on there and I was thinking well if you have the extra money I think it costs an extra $40 or so I'd recommend getting an r5 1600 so you're getting a six-course well threaded beast you're getting more level 3 cache on board and you're also getting a better cooler in the r5 4100 so those would be my two recommendations personally if had to change things in this build at the moment but when it comes down to it all those budget parts really impressed me the deep cool game ax 400 that handled this CPU at 4 gigahertz stable and it wasn't even getting warm to touch so really good cool there's oospeed 350 that did really well to getting a 4 gigahertz overlong again doing it at stable temperatures I think the CPU only managed to juice around 60 watts directly and the whole build on that note only managed to juice around 250 watts from the wall so we had that 500 watt included cougar power supply but I'm told it's actually a very decent power supply and on that note I wouldn't recommend going with anything cheaper than this cougar 500 watt power supply it seems to be the equivalent of say an EVGA 431 pounds play which with his build is really good and then lastly we had the case which we've already talked about but it did extremely well those two fans included and of course the deep core gamax fan made airflow really good on this case I was blown away by how that the airflow was and of course those speed holes in the side of the case actually helped with air flow too I believe as everything was really not getting hot at all in this build so in the end I think budget pots can perform pretty well if you piece them all together and have the right synergy and also we'll be making another video comparing the more expensive parts versus the cheaper parts with the r5 1400 to see how much extra performance you get out of for instance spending extra money on a more expensive power supply Morris the pool of more expensive case and more expensive motherboard so I look forward to giving you guys that video too and if you like this video as always and be sure to hit that like button and I will catch you in the next Tech episode because I said video too many times and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
