so it's time to do the first build for 2016 and this is going to be a six hundred dollar bill for you guys welcome back to tech yes City this is brian coming to you guys today with the month of january 2016 now this month we have a 600 dollar USD gaming PC now I will also take care of people in Oz and the UK so links are below for those two countries and also the Amazon links for the US so let's get on with the build this is going to be a mid-range gaming PC with a focus on all decent parts so first up here we have the i3 6100 from Intel this is a hundred and thirty dollars and it's got four threads it's the latest skylake architecture and it's also clocked in at 3.7 gigahertz not to mention it comes with a stock heatsink fan so you don't have to spend any additional cost on a heat sink fan so for the motherboard we're going with the asrock eh 110 you get two slots of ddr4 there it's a micro ATX board and in the past I know that asrock give you great value for money when it comes to motherboards so for the memory we're going with one stick of a gigabytes of ddr4 memory from crucial this comes in around $42 now the reason we're going one stick of eight gigabytes is just to give you a bit of future upgrade ability there and to give you a better path if you wish to upgrade in the future you can use that even on this same motherboard or if you're taking it to another motherboard it's always good to have eight gigabytes instead of just one four gigabyte stick now for hard drives and SSDs I decided to change it up a little bit especially since SSDs are just so cheap at the moment so for the SSD we're going with a Santis Ultra here 480 gigabytes of SSD storage they're all for 130 dollars this is a really good bargain considering SSDs are gonna make a world with a difference especially compared to hard disk drives and since you've got 400 80 gigabytes there you'll have a lot of room for games and whatnot so if you do find yourself needing extra room you can always get a hard drive especially if you are loading on a lot of those latest titles like GTA 5 and fallout 4 now we move on to the most important part of the build choosing a graphics card and lately I've been recommending both sides from team green and team red and so for the team red option we're going to go with the online 380 from XFX this is comes in at a hundred and $80 and it's a really good card for 1080p gaming especially for the money not to mention it's got an aftermarket cool there it'll keep your card cool and quiet now for the nvidia option we don't the gtx 960 here from ZOTAC this also comes in at $180 and you get two gigabytes of gddr5 memory as well just like the r9 380 now over this will do a great job just like the r9 380 but playing games at 1080p which is where both the sweet spots of these cards lie now for the case we're going with a Roseville FBM 0 1 micro ATX case I looked at this case and it looks like it will have all the room you need since all were doing is putting in micro ATX motherboard in there a graphics card CPU and an SSD and a power supply and it's also got two fans in there to boot so it should give you a decent amount of airflow and the best thing about this case is it's only 28 dollars last component of today's build is the power supply and we're going with the EVGA 500 watt power supply here for $40 a reliably price and also a reliable power supply now I wouldn't really go any cheaper than this unless you can get a really good deal on a solid name to brand power supply however just make sure you keep away from those really cheap power supplies that I just considered junk and they'd use a small W instead of a big W which means that they're not a true 500 watt power play this on the other hand is a true 500 watt power play and will do a good job of powering your i3 and your graphics card and it will do a great job for hopefully a long time so that leaves the total price of the bill to around about $600 and I put the links in the description below so if you click on them I also get a small kickback as well each time you use one of those links which helps me to keep creating content for you guys for free so anyway guys that's about it I've also put the links as I said before for the PC part pick up in Australia and the UK in the description below so check them out if you are in US or the UK anyway guys if you like this build then please give it a big thumbs up if you have any questions or comments about this build then please sure to drop a comment in the comment section below and I will get back to you as soon as I can and if you haven't already subscribed a techie air city for more videos like this tech news reviews and whatnot peace out for now bye
