The Budget King $400 Gaming System Build (Oct 2017)

2017-10-14
what up tech peeps welcome back once again to the channel for those of you who follow the channel you know that just the other day we did a video showing you how bad a G 4400 Intel CPU actually gimped and bottlenecked your video cards and you guys can see that honestly with a $50 CPU it was gimping stuff by at least 50% compared to the latest I 5 or the latest 1600 X but that's to be expected now some guys out there make comments like oh man parrying $1000 you know a GPU with a $50 CPU is crazy well for one thing neither one of those video cards is $1000 I've never seen a 1080 for $1000 and honestly the Vegas 64 even that's most outrageous wasn't $1000 so that was a little bit over hype on you person who you are out there and you know who you are I really don't get you just a word on a piece of paper but anyways we bring you that same system today now this system comes to market at around $400 with one particular video card which is the 1050 ti card the system comes out to about four hundred and thirty dollars and with the equivalent thing on the AMT side this system comes to actually less than $400 so this system is a really really entry-level system it's meant to be that way though some things about it I'll get into later I was I thought were you know a little bit kind of a pain in the butt to deal with building this system but we'll jump into that so right now let's see how the system does at 1080 gaming I didn't do anything in 1440 or 4k kids obviously this systems barely at the 400 marking point but with that said though let's jump in let's check out that system and see what it does and one thing just of note yes you can buy some higher G CPUs that will actually play games a little bit better but I was trying to really budget this and in my first video it was all about that $50 CPU so that's just one thing I want to take note though with that said though let's jump in let's check out the system let's check out those benchmarks and see it through the day does a foreigner dollar system really play games first up let's check out this case now this case is currently only $40 this is the BitFenix mid tower case now this case actually is quite nice for the price range the only things about this particular case that I wasn't really thrilled about is that cable management in the back was really hard there's almost no room in the back of this case to do cable management but really what are you expecting for a case that is 40 bucks I mean it looks good it's ergonomic and he'll the price is definitely right the motherboard that we chose for this build is also very very cost efficient it's the gigabyte GA h1 10 M - a LGA 1151 motherboard this board comes to market at about fifty four ninety-nine right now it has a lot of features and one thing cool about this motherboard is that you could upgrade it to many different CPUs or GPUs depending on your budget goes in the future so you can put this motherboard your system now it's got a great price and then later off you want to change the CPU or the GPU you'll be good to go the CPU well by now we should all know what the CPU is but if you don't it's the Intel G 4400 so three point three gigahertz CPU very very entry-level CPU like I said they do have some higher and processors for more money that will play games a little bit better so if you want to get one of those CPUs and raise the prices system you can do so but as is this $50 CPU does a pretty decent job for entry level gaming the memory inside is the Kingston HyperX fury black this is a 4 gigabyte 21 33 megahertz ddr4 stick its nine ECC and it's currently on sale for $42.99 the hard drive that we use in this build is also probably the most bought hard drive for gamers around the world this is the Western Digital one terabyte black drive this drives also on sale for $42 so it's a really great deal for entry level gaming now powering up this little beast of a system is a power supply by EVGA it's 80 plus white certified it's 500 watts and it's only $40 for this build we also tested two different video cards that way we could see things on the AMD side of things and on the nvidia side of things so on the nvidia side of things we used a zou tech gtx 1050 TI this is a four gigabyte video card that comes overclocked right out of the box now over on the AMD side of things we have a 562 gigabyte video card and both these video cards really don't bottleneck the cpu that much whatsoever seeing that they're very low in an entry level cards but with that said though let's now then let's check out those benchmarks and see how the system really does at 1080p gaming all right folks so there you have a system that costs right around $400 and plays ten ATP's really really nicely now obviously the Nvidia card is going to do a little bit better it's a four gigabyte card versus a two gigabyte card you just have to make the choice in how you want your system to be because if you get the AMD card you're gonna be coming at the market at about three hundred eighty five dollars for the system and if you go with the Nvidia card you're gonna be just slightly over $400 but either way you're right in the pocket at that four hundred dollar mark you can obviously choose some different memory I do believe they have some super memory out there for about ten dollars you could probably not just a wee bit off the price as well but you guys can see at 1080p gaming this system actually does okay and if you don't have a whole lot of money which I know many people out there don't you're always looking for the best system and one thing I like about this system you guys talk about this all the time is future proofing well with this system you can change the CPU out to lots of other CPUs you can change the GPU out you can add more memory you can add more hard drives there's just all kinds of things that you can do with this system to upgrade it so you're not really stuck with this system as you buy it's not like when you go out and buy a Dell or something like that and the system's there and you can't take it apart change Jack diddly in it you're just stuck with what you have with this system you can buy it as an entry level system pull that CPU out sell it to one of your bros buy an upgraded CPU and the same thing with the video card and memory and everything else so you can pretty much turn this system into a full-blown really super nice in gaming system as you get more money in your pocket so at the end of the day I have to say I really do like the system for what it is I mean I tried to get the price even lower but I know it's really hard to knock those prices down and for those people out there saying oh hey man why didn't you include Windows dude you can get a Windows key online for 15 bucks all day long all over the place just go on the internet and type into Windows key and all kinds of stuff will come up so you don't have to worry about paying for expensive things to get yourself in Windows 10 you can download all the information to make a CD for free pay for your code and you are up and going so that's why I really don't include Windows anymore in our build because it's just too dang cheap and most people honestly have access to an operating system here through their friend or online or somewhere so that's not to mean of the pivoting Achilles the entire deal like usual the folks at the end of the day this system I think is a thumbs up let me know what you guys think and below that like button we'll have more information for all these parts you can build one yourself change it around and do whatever you like but hey thanks for watching I appreciate you guys being here enjoy yourselves
