Assuming you're not planning to sell this build immediately, I'd love to see each piece get upgraded and tested as part of a series of tests to see which component someone would want to upgrade first.

You're officially my favorite tech KZfaqr! I'm tired of seeing 4090 and high end component crap. Well, it's not crap at all, but many of us modest gamers can't afford these high end system. I'm glad that there is a KZfaqr (RGIHD) who actually focuses on budget options for PC gaming. ;)

Just today recieved all the parts to finally move on from my lga1155 , got a ryzen 5 5500,b550,and ram for 200, got an rtx 2080 for $150 on ebay, and reusing my PSU. Also got a nice m.2 drive for $30. For like 400$ I'm stoked to finally try 165hz!!! Love your budget videos bro.

I'd love to see another video about this machine with upgrades in place. To show the potential it could have.

It's funny how all budget builds almost always use am4

If you're making a build like this, make sure to check on the second hand cost of AMD options like the RX 580 and RX 590 8 GB cards. They perform as well or better than the GTX 1060 and those 2 extra GB of VRAM will be a huge help in 2023.

AM4 is in a very good place price wise right now. Best performance for the money, most of the time anyway. The 1060 6gb and the rx580 8gb are both extremely cheap for the performance as well. After the scalpocolypse, we are finally back in a sweet spot for finding cheap used parts that also offer great value! Why build new when the better deal is used?

i loved this build so much, its simple, fast and it runs the latest games at a fairly decent framerate

I always love it when the channel does something in relation to their username. This system is similar to one I built my friend! Their system was a R5 3600, B450M, Zotac GTX 1660S, 1TB MP34 M.2, 16GB Crucial 3200MHz, EVGA 600GD, all in a little sleeper office PC case, just a little over $300 :)

Your 2021 budget build is what introduced me to you back then, thanks for all your hard work!

I would love to see a timeline of the different budget pcs you have build over the years as it would be interesting to see how trends and prices change over time.

Quality content as always, Cheers from the US. Keep us updated on this Build!

That EVGA W1 PSU is listed on Cultists Network as "F-tier: replace immediately"

Yes I have been awaiting such a video from you for a while,i'm at the beginning of it but its 100% gonna be awesome i can already tell.

That's not a bad build for the money, you've got some real bargains with that hardware!! Nice one!

Excellent video. Love the fact that you reference the specific parts, where you can get them from etc.

That's an awesome platform to start with. I really love the flexibility of Mid Tower cases. You could add additional 2.5 ssds or old hdds that are laying around. A simple video card swap would do wonders. I love this build, great job!

Very well priced build and the segment about the front panel conenctors reminded me of my first build in 2020, where my build hadn't booted because I incorrectly plugged the front panel connectors. Luckily plugging them in correctly and it posted.

Really nice build! Hope you turn this into a series where you gradually upgrade the PC over time and see how it handles. Possibly the GPU to a 2060 or 590, CPU to a 5600 or i5, etc. As someone who built a PC during the shortage crisis it’s crazy just how cheap building a fairly powerful gaming PC today is. Great video!

The case in this video I was actually considering, thanks for confirming the quality of the case! 👍

great video! i've built and flipped dozens of budget builds and i am always impressed with the performance you've been able to get in recent years for the $250-$400 budget

Good to see AM4 being so affordable these days! Nice build and great video as always!

Well deserved 500k subs keep up the good work

great as always !!!

Awesome build 😮 Definitely worth it.

Gosh watching all these pc builds makes me feel excited to build my own pc in November. I plan on using it for 3D software like Blender.

The case very much reminds me of the one I've been using for years now. Nice build!

A build after my own heart, I have built several similar systems and sold them locally with great results . Never had one come back for any reason. Usually used an RX570 class card as they are a personal favorite

I agree with what some have said about creating a series of slowly upgrading this build to show us what can happen if you choose to do so.

TY, Nice setup.

This is literally my old build except with a b450 gaming x, did me proud for the past 6 years.

Best tech tuber there is. Simple. Wholesome. Relatable. Being British is also a plus!

Love everything about this build. I like rgb builds but I also love the classy all black or og oem prebuilts.

Wonderful video! Thank you

amazing and interesting video as always! i have the feeling this build is almost as close as mine, by the exception of the gpu and the SSD (I use a GTX 650 Ti and a relatively small SSD of 250 GBs) but this gives me quite the motivation to look forward to upgrade my rig! seeing the performance this one managed to get gives me the feeling a proper GPU upgrade will do wonders for the kind of games I tend to play!

Damn a respectable build for a tiny budget! Good work

Excellently explained!

Love your vids mate, thanks for the great content !!!

Great video! I use a R5 2600 as a daily driver and it does pretty much everything fairly well. AM4 is amazing really.

Nice minimalist build with no RGB :) Some really mega cheap cases still have a slot for a DVD drive on the front with ample HDD bay space. I really love to turn those machines into pseudo servers filled up with old HDD I have laying about. Plus you can turn your old DVD games into ISO to use on other devices.

Your build is very good, reasonably priced and I believe that it has a lot of future potential. Very nice idea! The core components of my main pc are very similar to the one you built. I have a R5 1600af oc'ed to the levels of a r5 2600, a B450 Tomahawk max and I originally had 16gb of 3200mhz RAM until a month ago that I added to of the same sticks for a total of 32gb. I also have the nv2 1tb nvme drive and about the PSU, I own the 600W2 version which was part of my secondary PC and now I have it as a veey trustworthy backup I used to own the GTX 1070 ROG Strix but I sold it a few months ago. The main difference is that I have my build in a nice NZXT H510 case.

The thing with watching your videos is that you can instantly give it a thumbs up before viewing it, and i haven't been wrong yet :D

Great video. Please more of this...

Good video. Impressed you could get that setup for under £300. I have been looking a new components but perhaps I should lower my expectations.

Subbed to this channel back in college because im a poor fuck looking to squeeze every bit of performance on old components now im rocking a high end setup and still here keep it up boys you can do it

I liked this vid; you didn't get too technical!

missed watching this guy. Quality videos everytime

For how much PC's I've built, this video is just something ordinary, but the way you are talking about it makes me watch more, as always!

Nice deals to start the build. Nice case but a few £10 more and you get more fans, a mesh front and tempered glass side panel. Felt the 2600 was held back by the 1060 a bit. Great build overview, but for the new builders who might watch your video I would add the recommendation to build outside the case before putting it in to check everything works, particularly if some parts are 2nd hand.

Love the build videos! My daily chores of computer usage are done on a dull mid range modern system - but I build secondary ones for others and my 'retro-modern' CRT gaming computer. I'm currently trying to find the most extreme setup to showcase the... um... drumroll... G7400. I've been patiently gathering pieces for this build, including a Pentium 4 era 'gaming case' (acrylic side panel, blue air 'duct' leds, blue led clear fans, and aluminum! Woot! Antec 160w for $10, complete with vintage Athlon motherboard, and Noctua cooler... and a Soundblaster... and a Wifi card... multiple old drives and a card reader). I'm thinking that either a 1660 Super/Ti or rx5300 (to take advantage of PCIe 4)... Or maybe a m6000, as it is possibly the best NATIVE CRT analog output... but for building purposes I'm using my Titan Black... Anyways, you've always been kind of a motivator to me, and I love it when you celebrate old or... um... entry level tech for enthusiasts. Your honesty and genuine enthusiasm for suffering are very relatable and relaxing.

i recently built a PC for a family member with the Hellcrack Classic case and i was genuinely baffled by just, how good it was for that price, great video as usual!

Great vid. Those early Ryzen's are popping up cheap in my local market.

A really nice and cozy build, and that 1060 is beautiful. A month ago I found the same one as showed in the video but couldn't make a deal with the seller for €100... Too bad for him I got a 2070 super 3 days ago for €180. I'm thankful towards him ahah.

Ooow the reason I started my own channel! RGinHD budget builds 🤩

Amazing video! The only problem I might see is when upgrading the gpu. I can imagine some struggling trying to find a gpu that will fit in this case - at least if there is limited gpu availability where you live

Dam good cpu i had one up untill my upgrade to am5 . I still feel very privileged and lucky that i have had the ability to build my pc and am grateful.

Awesome vid as usual👍👍

I bought a hellcrack case before very cheap to buy new but very good for price nice to see one being used.

this build is a beast on some esports title especially on vsync off 1080p 144hz, great build!

Another great video my good sir 🥰✊👍. It’s great to see affordable and good performing PCs are still a thing (excluding UE5 engine titles🤦‍♀🤦💩)

Thanks!

After living through 2 renovations (living at home during the renovations) you have my sympathy 💐 ✊🥳

Great video

Love these affordable builds u keep making vide on really helping out most of us who can't afford to get a 4090 and a Ryzen 9 keep up the great work 👍❤

Perfect budget build

thanks a lot although i have a some what similar gpu using an rx 580 an asus rog one my cpu is really old because a relative gave it to me its a A4 6300 so the bottle neck is literally at 60-70% specially on cpu intensive games im planning to upgrade soon so this video really gave me a much more in depth guide specially on the motherboard because i was only planning to get a really cheap a320 board but with this guide it made me think more better on how i can save more in the future upgrades

This is a really good build, Steve an d very well documented too. I am assuming the 1060 was the 6gb model and not the 3gb. Though, looking at the size if the card I would say it was the 6gb model. Personally, I do not use cases for my PC's, but, if I did ever go back to one this case you are using looks really good. It seems to have good airflow, space for a few fans, and is aesthetically pleasing, too.

Just finished building using this as a guide - picked up at RX 590 and a different branded SSD as well as AX3000 WiFi card as I'm not close to an ethernet port at my desk, but still came in around £350! Bargain I think with a slightly better GPU in there as well. Can only switch on and install Windows tomorrow now so fingers crossed! Also got the CPU from CeX, but mine didn't come with a fan so had to pick one up separately which added a little on!

i did same mistake about PCIE covers on my case but luckily for me, mine are screwed in - no need to break them off so i was able to screw it back :D

GTX 1060 is cheap but at the same time it's on it's last legs. Needs replacement within two years. A RX 580 / RX 590 would have been slightly better for (less) money. However the RX 5600XT and RX 5700 (XT) have come down in price a lot, this should be the preferred option.

Back in 2014 my build was a very good one. Still running daily and had some good luck oc'ing it. 4670K i5, 16 gb ddr3 ram and 1070ti. The gpu's where always upgraded. Gtx460 sli, 660ti sli, 970 in sli and the 1070ti is likely the last upgrade this old beast got.

Very interesting!

Saw a couple of RX 5600XT's go on eBay the other day for around £80-85, they're so overlooked now a days! definitely a card to look out for, for budget systems

great build 👍 .. also recommend budget gaming laptop under 650$

this is a great content.. not everyone can afford an expensive pc especially in my country where all of this parts prices are so high.. 🙂

Really nice video. A beginner pc builder like me can learn a lot. In spcific what components to chosse for upgradability: - High Watt PSU - Motherboard with a socket that supports a lot of CPU generations (AMD seems to be the only option xD) The rest of the system can be adujsted to what your wallets weight. Nice video, I will remember it for when I need it again!

I didnt know we can run MSI osd on csgo now.. Good video.. Loving it

There's something satisfying about large GPUs, they are intimidating and you can really tell that they packed a lot of power!

id love to see just how far this build will be in the future with its upgrades

I think its a staple now for budget builds to get a used 1060 or an RX580 2048, tray chip AM4's, and the corsair Vengeance LPX. Built my brothet one during covid online classes

I built a similar computer yesterday for my girlfriend, I got a Ryzen 3600 for €60 and a GTX 1660 Super for €80, both in excellent condition. The rest of the build was made with new parts (I also used this Corsair memory) and in the end everything cost ~€350. It's pretty crazy to think how cheap you can build a gaming computer now, I paid €450 just for my 6600 xt at the time. Btw, I really like your videos and it inspires me to build good and cheap computers. I'm even thinking about making a business out of it or maybe recording some videos. A hug from Portugal!

Nice start off pc

*Just sold my 2600x, 1660 super, 16GB rig today for £300 today :)*

I thought I was immune to off-brand PC component names. HellCrack proved me wrong.

7:50 you can have more than two: I bought a SATA power to three header for my next build from aliexpress where you have the one header for rear fan and power for front fans directly from PSU 🥰

Nice one! Mine's as follows: Deepcool Matrexx 60, used AMD A320M board & Ryzen 3600 w/Prism cooler. ebay 3600MHz DDR4. Used 1070Ti. Decent power supply, some cheap solid state storage (I used a repurposed 512GB NVME from a dead laptop and got a good deal on a 2TB SSD) and call it a day!

Not bad, but there's much better parts newer parts for the money out there, namely the Ryzen 3600 and GTX 1660 Ti/Super. Swapping out to those would've only added 20 pounds to the cost and been 30-40% faster, more efficient, and less likely to fail. The GTX 1060 is old enough now that there's good likelihood it won't have a much longer life before failing especially if it's an OC model running at high factory voltage.

I used to have a Ryzen 5 2600X very good CPU lasted me a long time it did fairly well, I did upgrade though eventually to a Ryzen 7 5700X once I did a BIOS update to my B450 board as it wasnt initially supported prior to that

Good video.

My personal choice for low to modest budget PC build that relies on some used parts: Second hand Ryzen 3 3300X OR Ryzen 5 3600 (you may consider the R5 5500 as well) Asrock B550M HDV 16GB (8x2) of DDR4 3200 RAM Any 1TB NVME with DRAM AMD card: Second hand RX580 8GB OR RX6600 (you may consider RX5700XT if the price is better in your country), OR Nvidia card: Second hand GTX1070 OR RTX 2060 Super Any 80+ Bronze 600w - 650w PSU from known brands (Semi Modular if possible) Any mATX case similar in type and pricerange that RGHD uses Cooling fans that correspond to what the case supports (ID Cooling and Cooler Master for budget, Arctic if you can up the budget) --- I do not know what's the pricing on your side of the world and what you can build for similar pricerange (do share in the replies to my comments!), but this build may cost between US$400 - US$500 or below that depending on what deals you find in your place, which is great considering the price to performance that you're getting.

Always nice to see a budge build, 1060 6gb isn't something to sniff your nose at. Recently I got a pc from Cex for 290 with a ryzen 1500x, 16gb ram and a rtx 2060s.

Have you done a low power/idle home server style build? I'm looking at a few options at the moment whether that's re-using an old enterprise machine or building from scratch. Would be an interesting video including some power stats (if you've not already done a video like this?)

Good video 😊

This was my exact build 2 years ago, even used the same PSU at some point haha

Exactly my build but with a gtx 1660!❤ im upgrading my gpu to a 3060ti soon. Or a 6600 or 6700. And cpu will be next!

Literally my exact build i did over last month

I done a second build based around budget and performance. I ended up with a CIT F3 case (Black/Blue) for £26, EVGA 600W PSU for £35 new, 32GB DDR4 RAM for £35, Ryzen 5 1600X for £70, GTX 1050TI for £35 and a 2TB Crucial P3 SSD for £70 and I got the same Mobo Gigabyte B450M-K for £60. Runs games like world of warcraft and FF14 at around 60-70fps at 1080p medium settings ish. I loved the rubber holding mechanism for the SSD, I ended up chewing the SSd screw in my wife's PC and had to get creative when we upgraded her M.2 SSD earlier this year

Dont forget the ASUS Strix GTX 1060 has additional fan headers built on it for adding those front fans. I think the software also will allow for gpu temp speed controlling for better quality fans for adaptive case intake cooling.

I love the zero RGB theme :)

9:38 that drift into the parking space was smooth lol. I was hoping this build wouldn't go over 1k of my currency but it's just over 1.5k, so a bit disappointing but it should be worth it for the upgradability. Also, I'm new to this channel but have you ever done a gaming build that's power efficient while being fairly cheap? I think that would be interesting to see
