it's time for another PC build guide so in the last video I made a PC build
guide that was roughly about $750 total with variables because the PC
market is very weird right now parts are going up and down especially when it
comes to RAM and video cards video cards especially thank you Bitcoin miners
crypto miners whatever you want to call yourselves it's all your fault anyway that
being put to the side for now we're gonna try to build a computer for
around 500 to 550 dollars right now now keep in mind that the prices on this
list do change often I've been eying some of them and kind of know the trends
where they go up and down so with that that being said let's get to it first I
want to mention who this is who this build guide has kept in mind for
obviously it being $550 it's not the most powerful most amazing computer you
could possibly buy now that should be obvious but sadly to some it's not
usually when you make lists like this people are like why are using a 1050 Ti
that's 1070 the 1080 is better nothing's nothing below 1080 for me well you're
rich and you can afford that stuff the 1080 itself is going to be the entire
cost of this whole bill so leave that aside so with that in mind this Rick
will be able to play mode like every eSports title that there is and even
some higher-end games and but they will either have to be reduced to slightly
lower settings or just not get the highest of frame rate which is okay
keep in mind that most of these builds I have or graphics students in mind or
some content creators a lot of people will be making it aware to me oh of
course you can build a more powerful computer using older parts I'm not using
any older parts for this list mostly because I want it to be an
upgradable computer if you want this to be used in the future if you want to get
a lot of life out of this computer I don't recommend using ddr3 motherboards
let's just move on from there all those things aside I've already wasted enough
time talking about this okay so first up we're gonna go for CPU I've chosen the
AMD Ryzen1300 X it is great CPU I have this in one of my systems it's a
quad core with four lanes of hyper thread now if you didn't know what hyper
threading is if that doesn't make sense to you the course are kind of like the
mouth if you think of the information processing kind of like eating so each
core is like an extra mouth to eat information to process that information
now what hyper threading is is kind of like extra hands that feed that mouth
and once they're not necessarily helping you eat more information they're helping
that information get to the mouth faster if that makes sense so hyper threading
is good and for a cheap processor buy cheap I mean inexpensive this is
actually pretty powerful it clocks up to 3.8 gigahertz I say it clocks up to it
because you can tweak it it doesn't do that right out of the box but with a
little bit of tweaking if you look into that you can get this thing to go pretty
quickly not only I chose the 1300 X over the 1200 because it was only $5 more and
for $5 I think it's worth it to add to the list because more power why not
the 1200 was only 115 at the time of this video and the 1300 X is 120
so that's the you CPU I chose for this list moving on to the motherboard the
asus prime A320M-k AMD Ryzen name for blop blah blah ddr4 so this this motherboard
has baseline motherboard not only does the support the newest AMD processors
horizon which are a little bit newer to the scene but they're going to be around
to stay for a while and they're quickly more becoming a favorite in the build
communities because of their excellent power their power efficiency and the
price point that they are so this motherboard supports that it also
supports up to 32 gigabytes of ddr4 ram which is more than you'll need in this
type of computer but you do have that upgrade ability it only has two lanes
for the ram though so keep that in mind and one of them is awfully close to the
cpu you may have to be careful about your cooling that you choose for it it
does come with its own cooler bigger ddr4 sticks tend to take up space with
the ones with the mini heat shields the ones are designed for gaming so they
will take up some space but the cooler that it does come with the cpu does come
up is actually really good and it's extremely on the motherboard itself as
for USB 3 ports and 2 USB 2 s and ethernet cable all the stuff that you
need one thing i forgot to mention that i should it is micro ATX so you need to
get a case that is micro ATX compatible okay next on the list is the hard drive
for price reasons we can't afford to add an SSD to it now now keep in mind all
the things that you want to add to it you can always do it later but I chose
the Western Digital blue one terabyte SATA 6 gigabytes a second 7200 RPM blah
blah blah blah hard drive you don't need to know all that stuff the most
important part about this hard drive is one is one terabyte which is plenty of
space to get you going and it's 7,200 rpm which is pretty fast
for a hard drive a common speed you'll get in a hard drive from pre-built
computers is about 5400 rpm 7200 is a respectable speed it's actually pretty
good no it's not necessary but it will be decent and sufficient
next is the Kingston HyperX fury 8 gigabyte 2100 megahertz
ddr4 ram stick only have one of them Ram is really expensive right now 8
gigabytes will get you where you need to be I don't think you should go ever
lower than 8 gigs when it comes to building that computer I know not
everyone needs it but when you have graphics in mind when it comes to
processing especially if you're gonna do anything Adobe 8 is truly the minimum
when it comes to these things it next in the power supply not the most exciting
thing but power supplies are important because that is kind of like your room
to play with 400 watts is good enough for this bill now if you wear your gonna
want more as if you get a crazy graphics card later 400 watts is plenty to supply
this if you're gonna put a 1080 in there get a better power supply but this is a
budget bill so we're good right nothing nothing to say here at 34.99 it's it's a
good price power supply EVGA makes great power supplies it's 80 plus gold so this
quality it's not gonna also not explode on you which if you get a cheap one it
will next up is the graphics card this is the hardest thing on any list I
wanted I wanted this bill bluest to be $500 but because of graphics card being
in such demand right now this this card is usually supposed to be like a hundred
or less but because of all the cards being in it right now it's even out of
stock but if they get shipments regularly so by the time you watch this
it could be in stock again so 440 I chose the ace Asus Radeon rx 560 it's
for gigabyte card which don't get too excited it doesn't mean it's necessarily
better than a 1050 I think for the performance right now I was going to go
with a 1050 not the TI because right now those are insanely expensive I bought my
1050 Ti for $140 in September of 2017 right now it's hard to find them for
anything less than like 280 wait for it cryptocurrency is going down it and soon
gonna leave us and graphics cards should return to a godly price so right now if
you're willing to buckle down and get an Rx 560 doesn't seem like it got hit
too hard by the price fluctuation so
it's hard to compare to a 1050 because the 1050 to the 1050 is consider all
things considered a very consistent card as far as its performance II usually
does pretty well it's only a 2 gig card which doesn't matter for too much
because when you're working with a lower tier graphics card um typically on a
budget you're not gonna have a 4k screen you're not going to be worried about 120
frames of on that 4k screen or anything like that you're usually it's 1080p
gaming at 60 frames a second which the 1050 does pretty well so you would have
to tweak it the Asus rx 560 is typically performs slightly worse than tint than
the 1050 but sometimes actually performs better when it comes to DirectX 12
titles so it's odd it's it's a newer card so that could be it
it also since it is 4 gigabytes the card doesn't utilize that for gigs as well as
it should but it gives you more room to play with as far as how much it can
store in its memory at a time so it has that advantage over the 1050 more and
more games are requiring 4 gigs of video memory but when it's lower tier you're
probably not going to be playing that many
games that do that so just just go with the card it's a better price than the
1050 right now if you want remember you can always upgrade your graphics cards
later which I definitely recommend but another thing to keep in mind is that
this is a low profile graphics card so it doesn't require as much wattage from
your power supply you could easily get like a 780 around the same price
apparently if you shop around on eBay well enough but then again you're not
you're not going to deal with a warranty anymore so if you get a used part it's
risky and not only that the that rx gonna get this right anyway I think it's
about 65 watts
whereas a 780 although performing obviously better takes about 250 watts
so there's a lot of power you're gonna need a better power supply all that
stuff that one's up to you it's also not going to be supported by Nvidia for too
much longer so stick with this one for now so with that out of the way the last
thing is the case now this one you have room to play with you could definitely
get a cheaper one which I could have added to this list but why not make it
interesting the thermal ink or micro ATX cube computer chassis it's a cube not
only is it going to be a little bit easier to work with due to its size
you're going to be able to carry this around a little bit better than some of
the other cases you can swap things out a little bit easier power supply at the
bottom it's pretty cool it's not an expensive on either and it
love to by many many people but like I said if you want to make this even
cheaper you could get a $20 case just know that there are other costs when it
comes to that some of the cheaper cases are harder to work with when you're
putting it together especially if this is your first time that could be a pain
and but not only that some of them just are cheaper feeling they're not all
metal some of them have plastic and that may or may not matter to you especially
with working in the future if you're building this but usually when you're in
the lower budget being able to upgrade it to something better in the future
is nice to have so I recommend this case so that's it for this list for five
hundred fifty dollars you can build a pretty decent computer keep mind all
these things are upgradeable that's that's the beauty of building a computer
is that you can change things later now this computer will provide more than
enough power for some basic graphics some light Photoshop work light I mean
don't work on billboards you're not going to be able to do that but you can
of course paint to your heart's content on Photoshop you can make some nice
graphics this will work with anime studio more than you would understand
some light premiere work I will be doing more videos on PC build guides I'm
thinking about playing around with a three hundred fifty dollar budget build
what that will get you I'm very curious just right let me know if you're
interested in seeing that if you like this video like it pressing the the
thing well that's it for this video I'm gonna be making more probably right
after I finished filming this one I've had enough awkward staring at this
camera don't know what to say to you well that's it for me I'll see you guys
later
