The ONLY Gaming PC you can Build

**New $600 Computer Review**

I recently brought out a new computer that's supposed to be able to play some games like Medium and others. However, I wasn't sure if it would have enough memory or a slow hard drive, like the ones we used to have. But, as it turns out, this thing is actually really solid.

**GTA 5 Test**

Next up, we have the classic game GTA 5. I'm going to run it on 1080p at high settings to see how well it performs. While games like CS:GO and F1 can get over 100 FPS easily, GTA 5 is a bit older and can still be taxing.

But, as it turns out, this computer can handle it with ease. I'm getting 115 frames per second on 1080p high settings, which is impressive. Cranking up the settings to very high and ultra, we're in the 45 frame per second range, which makes sense considering it's an open-world game that hits the CPU hard.

**Streaming Test**

The next step was to see how well this computer can stream games. After setting up my streaming gear, including a Stream Deck, RX0 camera, Elgato Cam Link, and HD60, I put Ken in charge of testing out the stream. We were playing Valorant at 1080p while streaming in 720p 60, and it was going really well.

I had all the settings maxed, and we were barely dipping below 144 FPS. Keep in mind that we're also recording this stream using NVENC on OBS, which is completely fine. The computer handled it with ease, and Ken reported no issues during the stream.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I'm really happy with how this PC came out. It's a great option for anyone looking to build a gaming computer without breaking the bank. And, as always, you can check it out at the links in the description.

is the mostcomplicated or difficult.But because obviously in this day and ageit's kind of hard toget your hands on parts,many things are sold out.Many things are far moreexpensive than they should be.So my goal is to get my handson some of the budget items,not the cheapest.Obviously, you could buildthe cheapest computerat any point but I wanna buildthe most affordable reasonable computerthat you should buy for gaming right now.Alright, so that was very successful.So not only do we have our casebut we also have ourmotherboard, graphics, ram, SSD,oh Wait, where's the power supply?Oh, all right, I'll be right back (beep)And with that, we have all the componentsfor our reasonable you shouldactually buy this PC build.So we'll actually go throughsome of the things we havebecause I am super excitedfor what we're able to getfor less than 600 bucks.So first of all, we havethis, the Ryzen 3100.Now, this is a killer little chipbecause at $99 it'sessentially a cut down versionof the bigger Ryzen processors.So we get these samecores into Zen 2 core,you get similar clockspeeds and overclocking.The main difference is, while this mightonly be a quad core chip,it's still more powerfulthan like a Core i7-7700K,which is almost $400just a couple of years ago.This is going to be aserious budget processor,that's only the beginning.I almost okay, I'm not gonna break it.It's only the beginning of what we have.Next we have a Asus Prime B450M-A.So this is a B450 chipset,very standard for $1000specifically on the slightly lower end.What I like about this oneis it's slightly upgraded,which because with this build,I don't wanna build the cheapest thingI wanna build the best thingthat I can actually still recommendthat's not super expensive,this board makes a ton of sense.We also have 16 gigs ofG.Skill Ripjaws memory.16 gigs I think is a reallysafe amount because wellyes you get away with eight.I don't really recommend itnow especially if you're goingto use in this PC for severalyears, this is much safer.And on top of that, whileit's only 3200 megahertz,it's a little bit slowerthan I'd like but it was alsosignificantly cheaper thanany other option out there.And I would gladly save 20 bucksto lose like 2% performance.We also have what I thinkis a pretty solid SSD.So this is a 500 gigabyte WD Black.So not only is it PCI Genthree we have the fouror three gigabyte per second speeds.Well the thing is with 500, wowthat's really it says129, I paid $80 for that.So obviously, it's seen a discount sinceit first went on sale.500 gig should be plenty ofspace, you obviously can sortof expand it later but you'renot going to feel supercramped with a smaller SSD,you're giving the exact samesuperfast performance asa higher end gaming PC.And the WD Black drive isquite well regarded prettymuch across the board andit's now significantly cheaperthan it used to be.And then we have the GTX 1650 Super.Now that $165 this mightnot be the most powerfulor exciting graphics card in the world,but it is still going to beenough for TDP gaming on mediumto high settings.And importantly, this does havethe Nvidia NVENC encoder.So if you're planning on doingany kind of say streamingthat is going to make a big differenceand because you're able toplay games pretty consistentlyat 1080p 60, around $580for this entire build.It's a solid card which bringsus to the EVGA 500 watt power supply.There's nothing really specialhere it is an 80 plus unitthat's certified power supply.Really, it's enough andit will be certainlyenough for the system.If you plan on doing majorupgrades, you might want a bitmore power or a slightlyhigher quality supply.But for us, I feel thisis going to be just fine.So with all that beingsaid, I think it's timeto actually build our quarantinegaming PCs extravaganza.It's an extravaganza, I just decided that.So we are taking advantage ofthe CoolerMaster MasterboxQ300L, which is a case that we usedin some build last year.The thing is, this is fairlycheap, it's only 50 bucks.It looks nice.It's Micro ATX, which meanswe're going to save a littlebit of disk space.One of the cool things aboutthis case is that we actuallyhave a couple of thesemagnetical dust filters.So it has this sort ofpattern where you can rotateeither way and just sort ofslaps on the front and the top.So this is a pretty no frillscase, we only have a single120 mil fan inside, so youcould expand it with more fansand honestly if you wantspend a little bit of moneyyou could also grab maybelike a couple of rgbfans for the front oradd like a light strip.I think i might need ascrewdriver for this one.Okay, I'll just be a man and do it.So if you can't tell this is goingto be an incredibly chill build.But you know what it is quarantinetime, it's time to gatheraround with your loved ones.Find a screwdriver andsome friendly PC partsand enjoy hanging out withUncle Austin as he builds a $580gaming computer to make you uncomfortable.I just called myself uncleAustin coz I'm definitelyuncomfortable right now.And of course, if you'd likea full step by step tutorialon how to build a gamingPC, I actually didone very recently.I've actually shot it atthe Micro Center storea couple of months ago.So there is a 50% chance Iput this bracket on correctlyand the 50% chance it is upside down.Let's see, shall we?I think it's upside, super upside down.Okay, these things happen, it's fine.So one of the only real questionsI have here is on the motherboard itself.So we do have a B450 board,it's in an Asus board,it should be fine.Unfortunately, I wasn't ableto get my hands on the slightlyupgraded version, which has aUSB C port as opposed to takeadvantage of VGA, which issomething I don't really need.I am very excited to try this Ryzen 3.Zen has really made suchhuge strides and the factthat we're able to get $100processor that is as powerfuland more powerful thanlike the best gaming chipyou could get just a coupleyears ago is really exciting.Why is this not?Okay, I was about to go throughthe chip across the room.So Ryzen 3 comes with a pretty basicwraith stealth cooler.But the thing is, this iscompletely fine for somethinglike the Ryzen 3.It will still easilydissipate all of our heatand realistically it's as good as a coolerthat you buy for like $20, $30 bucks anyway.So generally speaking with Ryzen stuff,I actually kind of like usingthe base coolers especiallyon the lower end, goodbye little Ryzen.It's nice knowing you, enjoy your lifeunderneath this cooler.So when it comes tobuilding a Ryzen system,there are a couple of thingsthat matter and memoryis definitely one them.So you 100% without aquestion want to relyon dual channel memory.So on top of looking for dualchannel, generally speakingI like to look for somethingaround the 3600 megahertzrange, especially with low latency.The problem is though, isbecause PC parts are so hardto find right now, a lot oftimes those kits have gottenreally quite expensive.So this was significantlycheaper and it was only a littlebit slower at 3200 megahertz.So yes, technically, we'regiving up maybe two or 3% of sortof maximum performance, butwe're also saving like 30 bucks.I think that's a very easytrade, especially at a computerthis sort of value.And the nice thing is not onlydo we have 16 gigs of RAM,but this board also has four DIMM slots,which means that we can easily upgradethis to 32 in the future.I don't necessarily think you needto do that, but it'san easy upgrade to do.Next up, of course, wehave our WD Black SSD.Now, usually when I'm usingSSDs on lower end systems,I go for pretty much thecheapest thing I can getbecause pretty much any SSDor literally any SSD is goingto be better than like a hard drive.Alright, so with our motherboardinstalled, this is startingto look pretty good, whichis where this comes in.So this is a cheap clearance$10 LED stick, which normallyI would not include on a build like this.But first of all, it's cheap.Second of all, we have a window.And third of all, besidesour mustered cables,this actually should look pretty nice.So with the PC complete,I'm actually really happywith how it turned out.Not only does it look niceinside this fairly cheap case,but that single LEDstrip actually adds a lotto the aesthetic of the system.And of course, with our cablemanagement, being decentconstraints is a cheap system.I'm really happy with justthe overall look of it.But of course, we're not here justfor the look of a $600 game PC.Let's see what actually performs.All right, we are in oh yeah,no, we do a solid 200 framesper second right out the gate.So in CS:GO obviously it isnot the most demanding gamein the world.What's nice about CS:GO is thisis a game that actually doesdo a good job of showing howimportant your processor is,right, because while yeah,pretty much anything can playthis at some level, but whatwe really want to be able to dois play it at something like100, 150, 200 frames per secondand that's really where theCPU makes a big difference.But when we're getting200 frames per secondas that not such a big problem.What is the big problem iseveryone's really good at CS:GOand I've never been good at CS:GO.So this is a good example of why gaming PChas some real advantages, right?Because with a console whileyes, technically you can getsome games with these nextgenerations to play at above 60frames per second but PCit works just right outof the gate, right?I don't have to do anything,literally if I have a monitorwhich isn't even thatexpensive, I can jump straightinto a very nice looking PC game.I'm just gonna keep dying on it.Okay, that's fine,that's fine, I like that,it's really fun.Oh, by the way, have I notmentioned I'm also recordingthe gameplay right now too.So in addition to gettingthis nice, smooth performance,I'm also seeing 200, 215 framesper second while recording.I just got killed by a bot which is just great.All right, that's whatyou deserve my friend.How did I not do that, why?(grumbling)So F1 2019 is certainlynot the most difficult gameto run in the world.But we're running 1080p medium right now.No, you don't know, you don'tknow, you (grumbling) comeon (laughs) this is a gamewhich is not crazy difficultto run but what we're gettinghere is oh God, we're getting165 frames per second on medium at 1080p,especially consideringthem playing on a higherrefresh rate display it'sactually a really nice smoothexperience, I mean this is $600, right?And while I mean yeah, Iguess you could obviously gethigher frame but youhave to consider that nowwe're getting these hundredplus frames per second games,at 1080p or doing that allwhile recording, right?Which would mean that if we were saystreaming we will be gettingvery similar performance,you really don't have a hugesort of bottleneck or penaltyby going with somethingwhich is so much cheaper.It used to be that long ago,that when you bring out at five$600 computer, it might be aplay some games like mediumor whatever, but then you'renot gonna have enough memory,you're gonna have a slowhard drive, like you usedto have to make a lot of compromises.And that's simply reallyisn't the case anymore,like this thing is likelegitimately really solid.Next up, we have the goodold classic of GTA 5.Now here, I'm going to runit on 1080p at high settings.What do you think should giveus a little bit of a bettersense for how this game isactually going to performbecause while yeah, for thingslike CS:GO and F1 and sortof lighter Esports titles, you can get100 plus FPS really easily.But GTA 5 was a little bitof an older game can stillbe pretty taxing.Oh, wait, I'm just kidding,this is 115 frames per second.Okay, so I'm 1080p high, not a problem,we're also gettinghundred frames per second.I know it's rare that I've been surprisedby a computer being better thanI thought, but like, I thinkwe can crank things up even farther.Now with our settings crankedup pretty much to veryhigh and ultra, we're in the45 frame per second rangewhich makes sense, right?I mean, this is like fairlytaxing, it's an open world game,it's also hitting the CPU.This is a little bit more ofa reasonable test but I mean,I will say especiallyif you have a monitorwith any kind of adaptive sync40 FPS is still not terrible.And if it's me, I'm going tocrank down like this a littlebit and I'm going to get a nicesmooth 60 frames per second.So the next step is to see how wellthis computer actually streams.So after rudely denying himmany shout outs in the past,I'm gonna let Ken have atry with this computer,get a little Twitch streamingaction and see if it's ableto hold up.- All right, so Austin,let me have the reinswith this brand new Ryzen3 PC and most importantly,it has that GTX 1650Super, which uses in videosand NVENC encoding to makestreaming a little easierand less taxing on yourCPU so I have my fullstreaming setup here.I siphoned all of my gear fromhome so I have my Stream Deckmy RX0 camera,Elgato Cam Link, HD60.So we're going to be testingout a stream, which I'm goingto be doing in a couple ofhours to see what this PC can dowhile streaming on Twitch,twitch.tv/kenbolidofollow me and subscribe ifyou guys are awesome people.So I'm playing Valorant at 1080Pwhile streaming in 720p60and this is going really wellso I have all the settingsmaxed and valorouswith our setup and I'm barely dippingbelow 144, that's totally fine.And keep in mind I'm alsorecording this stream as wellusing NVENC on OBS so it'sagain, completely fine.One enemy remaining, ooh, here we go.Nice work guys, see not bad.- I am really happy withhow this PC came out.So of course, as always,you can check it outat the links in the description.You can also check out
