**The Ultimate Guide to Building a Budget Gaming PC**

I think the last time NVIDIA sent out a driver update for the 560Ti was like early 2018, but it still fully supported Windows 10, 64-bit, and all the latest features. I'm going to play some Rocket League on my super cool cheap system (clears throat) Ah, yes, my broke system.

High-quality gaming across the board, 1080p - well then again, Rocket League isn't incredibly hard to run either. To be fair, this is an old system, right? The newest component in here is probably our GPU. That's not bad at all actually. 70-80fps. Look, come on, for well less than $200, this is not bad.

Look at that! I didn't make that, but it's fine because it's running on my PC. What is that? Is that 200fps in Modern Warfare? Are you serious right now? I mean, are we inside? Yes. That's pretty good. Come on. Give that a try. Look. That's great, right?

Not really. Okay. It's fine. It's fine. Dude, this thing costs next to nothing. This is the definition of a broke system. I get that you're trying to say "Oh, you can buy an Xbox." Blah, blah, blah, but this, if you are a broke gamer, find some old components: Core 2 Quad, 560Ti. I mean, these cost next to nothing.

I could have used like the Core 2 Duo, they were throwing out. Like this was going to the recycler. Dude, like reduce, reuse, recycle. Gears of War. This is very clearly a demanding game. Do we have to play from the beginning? Really?

I haven't played this before. Great. Well, I mean, it does look great in the dark. I can see like five pixels. Look up at Dave. Okay. Hi Dave. There we go. Look, graphics. Graphics.

Whoa. Okay. That's actually pretty good. Yeah. So is your actual legitimate advice if you're a broke gamer is to ignore building a PC and just buy an Xbox or PS4 and call it a day.

Look, so this was $150, granted it didn't come with the controller, but with the controller, I think you can get one for probably around $20 used online as well. I mean, look. Look at all these games I can play. Look, Rocket League. This is free! Free on Game Pass.

It's not free; you pay for the service, Ken. Yeah, but like... Okay, so why don't you show me your game over there? Well, you turned off my monitor. Hang on. Let me just... What was that? I'm just going to go over here and set up Stadia.

This is native; I don't know what you're talking about. Look at that! Oh, look at that! Oh man. Fine. You got me. And how much did Red Dead cost? 60 dollars?

What? You know what. Stadia is a perfect example of a good use for my system, right? Because I can play a lot of games natively and for some newer titles that don't work, I can stream them via Stadia.

The moral of the story is... Let us know in the comments who won. If you're a broke gamer, should you buy a stupid Xbox or should you build a PC and be cool? I think you should just get a job and have money to pay for things.

I don't really have anything to add. That's pretty rude. It's reasonable.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Hey guys, this is Austin and today onBroke vs. Pro, well, guess what.Mr. Pro over here is about to bejust a little bit morebroke because, this time,there's no more cheating involved becauseyou have the same budget.- Cheating?Dude, you literally bought a PC.(evil laughter)- It's very simple.Who can build the best gaming systemfor two hundred dollars or less?I don't care if you get a PC.I don't care if you get a GameBoy Advance.It doesn't matter. But, what mattersis who can do the best jobwith an actual limited budget.- Do I get to useyour leftover money?- No! What? No.In fact, you get bonus points if you spendless than the two hundred dollars.AKA, I'm gonna try to do that.- What are you doing?- I'm justappreciating the exclusiveautomotive partner of the Austin EvansYouTube channel.- Toyota is notsponsoring this video.You're not getting extra budget. Stop!Just, just chill. Okay?- Okay. Well, I don't knowwhy I decided to drive then.(Austin laughing)- Where are we going?You're going first.- My plan is very simple.I am going to try to build the cheapestcomputer I can find thatcan still play some games.Something like a Core 2Duo or potentially likea first generation Coreor second generation Core.But something that ispretty easy to work on,something that I can stillget parts for, but alsothat will hopefully be very cheap.Two hundred dollars is not a lot of money.- I'm gonna hit upmy first spot. I just--- What?- I thought of something.- Well, I thought I wasgonna go get my stuff first.Are you doing a PC as well?- Um, not necessarily.- (Austin laughing) Are yougetting lunch right now?- There's an ulterior motive.- Do you know they don't sellCool Ranch Doritos Tacos any more, right?- Really?- Yeah.- Hey, can I get whatever the box isfor the Xbox One contest?- Yeah, yeah. Let me do that.Yeah, unsweet tea.- (Austin laughing) The(bleep) are you doing?You're trying to win an Xbox right nowwith your two boxes.- There's a winner everyten minutes for an Xbox One.(boxes crinkling)(Austin laughing)I actually don't know how to even enter.- Is there like acode in there or something?- Oh, maybe it's on the receipt.Or was it supposed to be a special box?And then they just didn'tgive me the special box.Hold on, I'm gonna be right back.- Are you actually go backthrough the drive-through?Are you gonna go inside?- I'm gonna go inside and get the code.- Well?- Limited edition boxes are sold out.- So you just paid for your mealand you don't have an Xbox One X to win?What a great plan.- We'll just cut it in editing.- We'll just cut it in editing.- So my idea wasn'texactly going to plan,but Austin's, his was working out.- We just got the hook up.So not only did they hook us up withpretty much everything we need,but they pretty muchgave it to us for free.(scoffs)Dude, no.That's cheating. The whole point isI'm making fun of you for cheating.I can't get stuff for free.No, no, no.I have to pay for everything.It's not-(laughing)For the purposes of this competition,we're going to assume thevalue of all these components.Which, based on a quick eBay search,is somewhere in the neighborhood of $140.For a Core 2 Quad system, the 560 TI,that's also including the SSDthat we've got back at the office,and a couple of other things.So, $140 I've got myselfwhat I think is a pretty cool system.So, what exactly is your plan right now?- I need to go to more Taco Bells.- Are you serious?That's really your plan isto go to more Taco Bells.- Look, have you everplayed the lottery before?- Why don't youjust get a normal Xbox.Use the money that you can spendto not cheat the rules.Isn't that a novel concept?- Can I revoke the budgetthat I spent on the lunch?- Yes, you can get your $12 back.That's an acceptable compromise.- Okay. I will do this legit.- (Austin with dramatic music) What?That's unbelievable. I am so proud of you.Good job, Ken.So I have a lot of work to do.Now, I have not testedany of this hardware.Supposedly, it's working.Oh wait. I didn't realizeI got another casewith the giant hole in it.I gotta stop doing this.The first thing is though is that--Ugh. I am just going tostrip all of this out.I don't need any of this. Thankfully.Woo, okay. Let's stand that up.- I am actually allergic to dust,so I'm gonna stand back here.- Oh, excellent.- Maybe you should just clean it.- Nope. I'm okay.All right. Here goes nothing.There we go.Hopefully the stock coolerwill at least keep it runninglong enough to beat your stupid Xbox.(metallic ting)- Oh.- There we go.I got it. It's good.- That also didn't sound good.- No. That's actually a goodsound. I'm okay with that.- That's like poppingyour bone back into placewhen it disconnects.- No. I'm fine.Now we've got a coupleof options for DDR2.Now this is very much untested,so if this thing actually boots first tryI will be shocked.So this is a grand total ofthis'll be 4GB of DDR2 whichI think should be okay.So this is not-- Ah, damn.Is this the wrong IO shield?This is the wrong IO shield.It doesn't line up.Okay. You know what? IOshields are overrated.IO shields are for punks.(Ken laughing)I have some new components for my build.I have a brand new 650 watt power supply.Probably overkill, butI'll take what I can get.I also have a 240GB SSD which,thanks to the wondersof modern technology,cost like 25 bucks.- All right. That looks--- Hey look. Test boot.I'll clean it up later.Slightly.- That is--Oh, you have to jump it too.- I didn't install anything last night.Okay.- All right. Well, it turned on.- I have post.- See if a CPU.- Is my GPU spinning? It is!- Well there you go.- Wait a minute. Is thisactually gonna work?- Oh here we go. Ooh.- Did it? Are you serious?- Yeah, it booted.- That fast?What? Wait. Wait. Wait.Is this a bit of victory perhaps?Maybe not victory, but look at that.It actually mildly works.So what exactly do youhave to show for yourself?You have a SAD Xbox I see.- I do have a SAD Xbox.This is the only one thatI could find for 150 bucks.This was refurbished or used- Okay.or some degree of not new.- Okay.- But I guess,because of all the Black Friday sales,this thing came downin price a little bit.Granted, I think you can getone of these for 150 right now.- So you canactually buy this newfor $150 during Black Friday.- Exactly, but it is what it is.- So is thisyour entire broke setupis just buying an Xbox? Likethat's it? Like you just--- Pretty simple yeah.- Wait. Are youusing Game Pass Ultimate?- I am using Game Pass Ultimate.(Austin groans)- Well it's fine.I have a trick up my sleeve as well.I mean, no, nothing cheating of course.Just purely by the book.- Well, I mean if we'reboth gonna cheat now.(Austin laughing)- I actually have a trick up my sleeve toowhich will involve mestepping out for a bit.- You have to leave?Why do you have to leave?- Just stay there.- What are you doing?- It's okay. No. We're fine.- What are you doing back there?- We're fine. We're fine. We're fine.- Nothing tosee here. We're okay.(dramatic sting)- What's that? Huh?- It's working.- What are youdoing with a laptop? Huh?- It's okay. Is that cheating?- Little cheating.- Look. My Xbox just runs Windows now.- Are you juststreaming from a laptop?Is that you master plan right now?- Look at all ofthese games I can play.- Broke vs.Broke is like we're tryingto test the budget.We're trying to show how we canflex on everyone with our tiny budgets.It doesn't work whenyou're streaming from likea super expensive gaming laptop.- Okay. Well, fine.I won't do that then.- Well, what are you going to do?- I can play Gears.Well, while we wait for my game to load.What do you have?- So this isrunning full Windows 10.It actually still runs everything fine.So my drivers are a little bit old,so I think the last timein the NVIDIA sent outa driver for the 560Ti was like early 2018.But still, it fullysupported Windows 10, 64-bit,up to date everything.And I am going to play some Rocket Leagueon my super cool cheep-oEl cheep-o system.Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep.Broke system.(Clears throat) I have to be on brand.My broke system. High qualityacross the board, 1080p--- Well then again,Rocket League isn't likeincredibly hard to run either. To be fair.- Yeah. No but this isan old system, right?Like the newest componentin here is probably our GPU.Ah, that's not the right button at all.- That actuallydoesn't look that bad.- No, it's notbad at all actually.Uh, 70-80fps. Look, come on,for well less than $200, this is not bad.Look at that! Huh?I didn't make that, but it's fine 'causeit's running on my PC.What? What is that?Is that 200fps in Modern Warfare?Are you serious right now?I mean, are we inside? Yes.Is this just the beginningof the game? Yes.Look how smooth that is.That's pretty good. Comeon. Give that a try.Look. That's great, right?- Not really.- What could youpossibly complain about?That's amazing- Okay. It's fine. It's fine.- Dude, this thingcosts next to nothing.This is the definition of a broke system.I get that you're trying to like say'Oh, you can buy anXbox.

Yes, that is, in fact, Red Dead 2.- So, before I was rudely interrupted,I was talking about how many(Austin laughing)games there were on Game Pass.- Yes. Yes.- Look at this.
