**Building a High-Performance Gaming PC with the MSI Aegis 3050**

Cables and wiring is the next part, which we'll call Luster's Mwe 650 Gold, a 650 watt power supply with all the plaudits that we need. The 80 Plus Gold interface makes sure that we've got lots and lots of efficiency helping to keep our power overheads and wastage down. You've also got a fully modular interface allowing you to only plug in the cables you really need and for this build, we'll be plugging in a motherboard, CPU, and GPU power connector to the power supply first.

We're then going to plug these up to the motherboard starting with the motherboard power connection. First up on the right-hand side, we've got the CPU power connection which goes to the top left and is made of eight pins or four plus four pins. Of course, our GPU power connector is a six plus two pin PCIe add-on that goes on to the graphics card. We're also going to finish things off by plugging up the front panel connections, which includes a Type-A USB 3 front panel port. This is the largest of the front panel cables and is quite delicate, so be careful.

The next connection is a USB-C connection, which is a bit more chunky and square but once again isn't the most robust of connections. We've also got the HD audio jack, otherwise known as our combo headphone and mic jack, and of course, the power button, which goes to the JFP1 cables on the bottom right. Once you've done all that, we're ready to boot the system up for the first time and check out the performance in a wide range of titles.

Everything from Fortnite, Apex Legends, Valorant, and Warzone to Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042 will be put through its paces to see how well this PC performs. Before that, however, we ought to see how good the PC looks when it's all powered up with an epic gun montage. I'll show you in a second, but first, let's check out the performance.

**Performance Testing**

We've tested a wide range of titles as usual, ranging from GTA 5 to Battlefield 2042 and Fortnite on your screen now is a summary of all the results we're able to gather. But as usual, we'll dig in deeper detail, title by title, starting things off with Grand Theft Auto here we tested at 1080p high settings and managed to pull in just shy of 150 frames per second with 136 and 120 for the 90 and 99 percentiles. Giving us some nice consistent frame rates.

Next up is Battlefield 2042 at 1080p high, where we enabled DLSS (Nvidia's fancy AI-backed resolution scaler) and pulled in 107 frames per second on average. The game visually looked great, and this is a really playable frame rate, anything above 100 for a first-person shooter is absolutely perfect.

The next title on the list is COD: Vanguard, the latest COD title on the block, where we looked again at 1080p high settings with DLSS enabled set to Performance mode. This time, we pulled in over 120 frames per second and once again, 90 and 99th percentile results were consistently strong.

Forza Horizon 5 is next up, a game where we tested it at 1080p high settings using the in-game high preset, and didn't quite surpass the 100 frames per second mark but achieved 96 frames per second. With 92 and 80 for the 90 and 99 percentiles.

Apex Legends follows next at 1080p high, where we managed to get 132 frames per second. Apex tends to cap out around 140, so for me, this was a really solid figure and proves the 3050's immense power at 1080p gaming.

Next up is Valorant, where we tested again at 1080p high settings, and frame rate was definitely not an issue, achieving 370 frames per second. The frame rate was really really solid and stayed consistently above 300 FPS throughout, which was great to see.

The penultimate title on the list is COD: Warzone, where we tested once again at 1080p high settings, and managed to achieve 90 frames per second. Anything above 60 at 1080p high is a good result, so I was pleased with our Warzone performance overall as I have been with this whole 3050 build.

Finally, Fortnite follows at 1080p competitive settings, basically low with everything tuned down to low but the render distance set to far. We've managed to achieve 190 frames per second, more than enough frame rate to feast your eyes on for competitive titles and with that, pretty much wraps it up.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enin this video i'm going to be building the best 1080p gaming pc i could put together on a budget based around the brand new rtx 3050. this is a system designed for playing the latest aaa titles at 1080p high settings and achieving some really solid frame rates with 16 gigs of ram a new 12th gen core i5 and lots more goodies this build is not messing about let's do this the corsair iq 5000t provides the ultimate in airflow rgb lighting and mounting compatibility for pc builds in 2022 with three allow fans included 160 addressable rgb lights in the front roof and floor panels corsair have really taken things up a notch learn more about the awesome 5000t in our build videos over on the channel or at the where to buy links in the description below now i'm going to kick this build off by looking at this now to the untrained eye this is a plain white box but to the tech nerds among us this is an msi magb660 tomahawk now you might be wondering james why is this in a white box to be honest with you i don't know i think it might have been an rma sample that got sent back but then msi re-shipped out uh for this video but either way it's a great b660 motherboard this board will form the basis of our system with plenty of vrm calling for a bit of cpu overclocking gen4 nvme support and a really solid rear i o that includes two and a half gigabit ethernet and of course our 10 gigabit usb type c perhaps most crucially though it supports the i5 12 400 f our cpu choice for today's build and intel's definitive return when it comes to a budget gaming chip that performs very well with 6 cores and 12 threads and a boost clock speed that wow surpasses the 4.4 gigahertz mark it ticks the multi-threaded and the single threaded boxes nicely giving plenty of performance for all of the biggest titles for this stage you want to line up the triangle on the cpu with the triangle on the bottom left corner of your motherboard socket what we're then going to do is take the retention arm pull this out and upwards essentially freeing the socket you can see here now the socket is not being held down by anything we're then going to use our finger to pull the socket up locate those triangles as i say and line them up and then drop the processor in once you've done that you're then going to use your own force to push the socket down push the tab down and the black plastic cover will pop off keep that one later on if you have to rma motherboard or anything like that then just make sure that your socket cover is nicely seated apply a solid amount of pressure and the processor is installed now for the next step we're gonna move on to the ram and for the ram in this build i've picked up a kit of corsair's vengeance ddr5 now you might see here it says 32 gigabytes james isn't that overkill yes i'm only recommending you pick up a 16 gig kit and we'll only be testing with two of these dimms ensuring that our results are conducive with a 16 gig config pull back your retention clips on your ram dim slots and slide your dims in apply a bit of pressure and you'll get that nice satisfying quick sound if you want to save a bit of cash msi and all the other main board manufacturers do offer ddr4 boards as well which are definitely worth looking at but for this build i think ddr5 is gonna give us a nice performance edge and help us to future-proof things for later on for the next stage of the build we're going to install the storage now to install the storage you need to pick up one of these not specifically a large multi-bit screwdriver set but a teeny tiny screwdriver one that's smaller than your regular phillips head as installing the m.2 drives means dealing with these really small fiddly screws which can be challenging what we're going to go ahead and do is remove the top m.2 sort of heat spreader or heatsink these exist because some of the latest m.2 drives do run quite hot and do require some additional calling over their base designs but our unit today isn't one of them as the xpg spectrix s20g is my choice this is a drive that we've looked at over on our website geekowith.com and it's a drive that provides all the performance that we need it runs on the gen 3 standard so it isn't as quick as the newer gen 4 drives out there but it's a lot cheaper because of it so there's a bonus there now as you'll see from the m.2 slot if we look just here this actually incorporates a tallest design where we simply use this plastic tab instead of a screw or at least that's the theory we're going to slide the drive in at a 45 degree angle and then push it down and then i'm just going to see there we go we move the tab sort of to face the msi logo spin it round and that seems to be holding nice and securely and with that the m.2 storage is installed as well once that's done we can move on to the final component that we're going to deal with while the board is still outside of the case and we'll look at the case choice in just a moment first it's time for the call out and i've picked up this the master hyper 212 rgb black edition now if i could count on my fingers the number of times i'd use this cooler i simply wouldn't have enough fingers it's been that many times you can check out a wide range of content on the channel featuring this cool air it's a really really great shout and for around 30 35 will keep your processor nice and chilly without breaking the bank installing any cooler is often a complex and convoluted task that for a first time builder can be super intimidating but don't worry i'm going to try and break the process down for you step by step and the first of those steps is to take this the included back plate now on the back plate you'll find yourself having eight different mounting brackets two on each corner we want to use the outermost of these and add in these silver posts that come included in your cpu coolers box we'll get a nice close-up shot of these as well for you guys to feast your eyes upon we're then going to flip the motherboard around to the other side and drop these silver posts through the rear holes on the back of the motherboard these will then poke out around the cpu in just a moment you may find yourself needing to adjust the location of the screws up and down on that bracket accordingly but once you've done so they'll then poke through the other side of the motherboard and you can see here we've got one on each corner they stand out quite well on this silver board too you're then gonna grab these now these are some sort of female to female posts or stoppers that will go as far as holding the back plate into place one of these is going to go on each corner around our i5 12 nice and simple so far right just a lot of steps so just take it step by step don't try and rush it because then you will make mistakes if it doesn't feel right with the cooler it's probably not right is the easiest way of putting it you then want to remove the cooler itself from the included box take off the included cooler fan too and just leave yourself with the actual heatsink these heat pipes at the bottom will disperse the heat through the actual heatsink itself calling the processor the next challenge is actually getting it mounted so that doesn't just fall off willy-nilly and that's where some of these included brackets come into play these brackets right here will actually install onto the bottom plate of the cooler itself and then those screws will pop into the female to female posts around the processor nice and easy so just secure these down with a screw each add a drop of the included thermal paste onto the processor and then secure the cooler down we'll add the fan back onto the cooler later leave this off for now as it will make the next step much easier and that next step is moving the motherboard into the case and our case for this build is the cooler master half 500 a so-called homecoming classic now this is a full-size atx case that's got loads and loads of airflow and it's gonna look frankly awesome for this build it is slightly overkill but with the price of cases at the moment on the whole you're not going to pay much more for this than you are more budget options but you can check out a video we made covering the best pc cases to buy in 2022 if you'd like something a different color with more or less rgb or something cheaper or more expensive now i'll be the first to admit that i haven't been a massive fan of everything cooler master have been doing recently i think their component side has been a bit weaker than in the past but this is definitely an exception with these really nice fans at the front and a mesh panel that really lives up to cooler master's half high airflow range's name plus with one sickle found at the rear another pointed up for air towards our graphics card and a tempered glass side panel it ticks all the boxes talking to panels we're going to take all the panels that we can off including both our front glass and rear steel side panels then we're going to lay the case down flat on the table to allow us to install the motherboard into the chassis before going to a gunko and whacking a load of screws in you first need to locate all of your motherboard standoff holes these are the only holes on the motherboard that go straight through and are large enough for a screw and handling msi have indicated them with massive avoid collision markers on each one so three at the top three along the middle and three across the bottom we've essentially got to make sure these line up with the corresponding standoffs in the case through the top three along the middle and three across the bottom if they're not in the right locations now is the time to move them and if you don't you can create some huge huge problems with your motherboard grounding out against the case which you definitely don't want we're going to slide the board in at this stage you can install an io shield if you've got one but arm of the boards is built in so no stress there we can then screw the motherboard in through all these nine screw holes and finish things off by adding on our coolest fan back into place and once that's done it's looking pretty good i'm liking the colour scheme i'm liking the all black good metal gray aesthetic it's looking very solid indeed and then we can take the opportunity to move on to the gpu our penultimate component today now it's worth addressing the rather large elephant in the room and that elephant is not me oh no it's the graphics card industry right now gpu prices have been falling hallelujah and stocking availability is improving now i can't speak for every single nation in the world but here in the uk what my friends in the u.s tell me the situation's getting a lot better take a look at ebuyer here in the uk they've got a number of 30 50s available for to be honest with you not that much more than the 300 pound mark and it's so much more than just a stop gap measure if 1080p gaming is what you're after there isn't really any better card on a budget now i've gone ahead and picked up msi's gaming x version but to be honest with you any 30 50 you can find from any reputable board partner is what i go for it's a really well proportioned card too which helps and it should look good in our system it shouldn't look too lost or too small but equally it's not going to push the size limits either what we're going to do is we're going to hover the gpu over the top pcie slot and that will then indicate to us which of the rear pcie covers that these things over here need taken out by the looks of things we need to remove the second and third then we can slot the gpu in screw it down with the two screws we took out uh with the removal of those pca covers and that's pretty much it the component that's going to enable our cables and wiring is the next part called luster's mwe 650 gold a 650 watt power supply with all the plaudits that we need the 80 plus gold interface makes sure that we've got lots and lots of efficiency helping to keep our power overheads and wastage down you've also got a fully modular interface allowing you to only plug in the cables you really need and for this build we'll be plugging in a motherboard cpu and gpu power connector to the power supply first and we're then going to plug these up to the motherboard starting with the motherboard power connection first up on the right hand side the cpu power connection

finish things off by plugging up the front panel connections which includes a type a usb 3 front panel port this is the largest of the front panel cables and is quite delicate a usb-c connection which is a bit more chunky a bit more square but once again isn't the most robust of connections so be careful hd audio otherwise known as our combo headphone and mic jack and of course the power button which goes to the jfp1 cables on the bottom right once you've done all that we're ready to boot the system up for the first time and check out the performance in a wide range of titles everything from fortnite apex valerant and warzone to halo infinite and battlefield 2042. before that though we ought to see how good the pc locks with all its beautiful rgb in an epic gun montage i'll see in a second but first roll that montage awesome stuff now that we've seen just how good this system looks when it's all powered up it's time to check out the performance we've tested a wide range of titles as usual ranging from gta 5 to battlefield 2042 and fortnite on your screen now is a summary of all the results we're able to gather but as usual we're going to dig in deeper detail title by title starting things off with grand theft auto here we tested at 1080p high settings and managed to pull in just shy of 150 frames per second with 136 and 120 for the 90 and 99 percentiles giving us some

and this is a really playable frame rate anything above 100 for a first person shooter is absolutely perfect next up is cods vanguard the latest cod title on the block and here we looked again at 1080p high settings with dlss enabled set to performance mode this time we pulled in over 120 frames per second and once again 90 and 99th percentile results were consistently strong next on the list is forza horizon 5 a game where we tested it at 1080p high settings using the in-game high preset we didn't quite surpass the 100 frames per second mark but 96 was where we sat with 92 and 80 for the 90 and 99 percentiles moving on to apex legends next up at 1080p high we managed to get 132 frames per second apex tends to cap out around 140. so for me this was a really really solid figure and proves the 3050s immense power at 1080p gaming moving on to valoret nextup here we tested at 1080p high settings once again and this time frame rate was definitely not an issue 370 frames per second not an issue to be precise the frame rate was really really solid and stayed consistently above 300 fps throughout which was great to see the penultimate title on the list is cod warzone and we're going to move on to fortnight shortly afterwards here we tested once again at 1080p high settings and managed to achieve 90 fps anything above 60 at 1080p high is a good result so i was pleased with our warzone performance overall as i have been with this whole 3050 build to be honest msi have done a great job with their ball partner 30 50 card and it really shows the final game then is fortnite at 1080p competitive settings basically low with everything uh tuned down to low but the render distance set to far we've managed to achieve 190 fps more than enough frame rate to feast your eyes on for competitive titles and with that that pretty much wraps it up if you enjoyed this one make sure to get subscribed thanks for tuning in and as always we'll see you in the next geek a lot videoin

this system looks when it's all powered up it's time to check out the performance we've tested a wide range of titles as usual ranging from gta 5 to battlefield 2042 and fortnite on your screen now is a summary of all the results we're able to gather but as usual we're going to dig in deeper detail title by title starting things off with grand theft auto here we tested at 1080p high settings and managed to pull in just shy of 150 frames per second with 136 and 120 for the 90 and 99 percentiles giving us some nice consistent frame rates in battlefield 2042 at 1080p high we enabled dlss nvidia's fancy ai backed resolution scaler and pulled in 107 frames per second on average the game visually looked great and this is a really playable frame rate anything above 100 for a first person shooter is absolutely perfect next up is cods vanguard the latest cod title on the block and here we looked again at 1080p high settings with dlss enabled set to performance mode this time we pulled in over 120 frames per second and once again 90 and 99th percentile results were consistently strong next on the list is forza horizon 5 a game where we tested it at 1080p high settings using the in-game high preset we didn't quite surpass the 100 frames per second mark but 96 was where we sat with 92 and 80 for the 90 and 99 percentiles moving on to apex legends next up at 1080p high we managed to get 132 frames per second apex tends to cap out around 140. so for me this was a really really solid figure and proves the 3050s immense power at 1080p gaming moving on to valoret nextup here we tested at 1080p high settings once again and this time frame rate was definitely not an issue 370 frames per second not an issue to be precise the frame rate was really really solid and stayed consistently above 300 fps throughout which was great to see the penultimate title on the list is cod warzone and we're going to move on to fortnight shortly afterwards here we tested once again at 1080p high settings and managed to achieve 90 fps anything above 60 at 1080p high is a good result so i was pleased with our warzone performance overall as i have been with this whole 3050 build to be honest msi have done a great job with their ball partner 30 50 card and it really shows the final game then is fortnite at 1080p competitive settings basically low with everything uh tuned down to low but the render distance set to far we've managed to achieve 190 fps more than enough frame rate to feast your eyes on for competitive titles and with that that pretty much wraps it up if you enjoyed this one make sure to get subscribed thanks for tuning in and as always we'll see you in the next geek a lot video\n"
