Budget $600 Gaming PC Build 2021! [ft. Ryzen 5600G APU Benchmarks!]

**AMD Ryzen 5600G: A Budget-Friendly Gaming Powerhouse**

The AMD Ryzen 5600G is an exciting new processor that combines a strong CPU with integrated graphics, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious gamers. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the 5600G and put it through its paces to see how it performs in various games and applications.

**Selecting the Operating System**

First things first, you need to select your operating system. Our tester started with Windows 10 64-bit, which is a great choice for this build. Once the OS is installed, you'll need to jump to your system and chipset drivers and onboard VGA drivers. These two are crucial components that will take your performance to the next level.

**Download and Install Essential Drivers**

The two key drivers to download and install are the graphics and basic chipset drivers. Since this is a budget build with no dedicated GPU, we're relying on integrated graphics for performance. The graphics driver is essential for any system with integrated graphics, as it will help optimize performance and ensure smooth gameplay. The chipset driver, also known as the southbridge driver, controls the CPU's power management, memory, and other low-level functions.

**Testing Performance**

Now that we've got our drivers installed, it's time to test out the performance of this system. We'll be running a series of benchmarks in popular games to see how the 5600G holds up against more powerful systems. First up, we have Gears of War 4 at 1080p normal/medium settings. Our average frame rate was 71 FPS, with consistent results across all our testing tools.

**Fortnite and Overwatch**

Next, we moved on to Fortnite at 1080p competitive settings, with everything tuned down to low render distance and set to far. We were impressed to see that the 5600G could deliver an average frame rate of 72 FPS. This is a great result for a budget build, especially when compared to more expensive systems.

**Overwatch and CSGO**

We also tested Overwatch at 1080p with our settings tuned down, which yielded an average frame rate of 68 FPS. While this may not be as high as some more powerful systems, it's still very playable and competitive. Our testing in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) was similarly impressive, with an average frame rate of 90 FPS at 1080p high settings.

**Rainbow Six Siege**

We also tested Rainbow Six Siege, which is a visually demanding game that requires strong graphics performance. However, our average frame rate of 58 FPS on medium settings was still respectable. This game would look great on this system, and we were happy with the results.

**Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Valorent**

Unfortunately, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War proved to be a bit too demanding for the 5600G at 1080p high settings, resulting in an average frame rate of just 66 FPS. However, we were still happy with our results in Valorent, which yielded an average frame rate of 170 FPS on medium settings.

**Apex Legends**

Finally, we tested Apex Legends at 720p low settings, which resulted in an impressive average frame rate of 80 FPS. This is a great result for this build, and we were happy to see that the 5600G could deliver smooth gameplay even at lower resolutions.

**Conclusion**

Overall, we're extremely impressed with the AMD Ryzen 5600G. It's a strong CPU with 6 cores and 12 threads, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious gamers. While it may not be able to match the performance of more expensive systems, it's still a great option for those looking to get into gaming without breaking the bank. With its integrated graphics, the 5600G is perfect for esports titles like Fortnite and Overwatch, as well as more visually demanding games like Rainbow Six Siege. We highly recommend considering this CPU for your next build.

**Get Ready for the Deep Dive**

In our next article, we'll be doing a deep dive comparison between the AMD Ryzen 5600G and two popular graphics cards: the GeForce GT 1030 and the Radeon RX 1650. Which one will come out on top? Find out by checking back soon for more updates from The Geeky Channel!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys welcome back to another geeker what video and in today's video i'm going to be building an awesome budget gaming pc with this amd's brand new ryzen 5 5600 g have amd saved the day for budget gamers out there with their latest apu releases or simply fallen a little bit short of a dedicated budget gpu like this one well in this video we're going to find out with detailed performance benchmarks and testing a bit later on first though i'm going to show you how to put the system together step by step from start to finish covering off each of the component choices as we go along a big shout out to evia for sending out the cpu and making today's video possible i'll pop their links in the description below but without any further ado let's dive into it let me kick things off as usual by installing as many components into the motherboard as possible covering off the storage and the ram choice as well for the motherboard though first of all i've gone for msi's mag b550m mortar this board has got a few features we're going to find really useful in today's build specifically the first is 4 ram dimm slots with support for dual channel memory unlike a normal build our apu doesn't have its own dedicated graphics memory so needs to borrow the memory on the motherboard having four dimm slots and dual channel support is really important we've got support for the latest gen 4 nvme ssds in fact we've got two slots for lots of upgradability down the line we've got a dedicated gpu pcie slot this is going to be amazing for adding a dedicated gpu in once price is returned to normal if that's an upgrade path you're looking to exploit and then finally around the rear of the board we've got this built-in io shield this is a bit of a cleaner way of doing things but crucially it's also got usbc with 10 gigabit support with two and a half gig ethernet it's on the higher end as far as b550 boards go but trust me it is absolutely worth the cash to install the cpu into the motherboard locate the triangle on the top left corner of the socket and just pull the arm up you want to match this triangle with the corresponding gold triangle on the corner of the cpu and then it's a really simple case of dropping the chip into place lining up triangle to triangle and returning the arm down the cpu then is nice and secure and that's pretty much all there is to it we can move then nicely onto the ramp or the memory i've got 16 gigabytes of adatas xpg gammix d20 now there's a couple of key things you really must watch out for you want two randoms don't go for one ram dim it really will not go well when you have an apu you also want 3600 megahertz or quicker 3600 is the ideal speed for price performance and all that good stuff you also want eight gigabyte dimms not really four gig dimms so 16 gigabytes total in a build like this as remember the graphics memory and the cpu memory are being shared rather than having its own dedicated gpu memory just a few lessons i've learned from my previous uses with amd apus we want to use the second and fourth ram dim slots this will give us that awesome dual channel performance so we can do so slide the memory into place it really is nice and simple it's notched so we'll only go in one way round but for us our xpg logos are going to face outwards on the clean side of the ram once that's done then there's one more component to install into the motherboard and that is of course the storage this is seagate's barracuda 510 one of my favorite gen 3 nvme drives you can learn why in our full review linked in the card section now over on geekowitz.com but with speeds in the region of about three gigabytes per second this thing is rapid the 500 gigabyte drive can be commonly found for a really good price as well if you want to save a bit of cash then a sate ssd will also work well and i'll put some suggestions down below for me though an nvme drive just future proofs to build nicely makes it feel a little bit quicker i'm going to be installing it into the top m.2 slot here the process of doing so is super easy find the gold strip on the ssd and find particularly the little notch you're then going to slide this into our m.2 slot before pushing the drive down and screwing it into place with the teeny tiny screw that comes included in the box warning for you new builders out there a regular philips head is going to be too big so you need a teeny tiny screwdriver like this one to install the ssd super easy and these drives are much better to install than sata drives which need bulky horrible cables looking good now there is one more thing we need to do to the motherboard before we move it into the case choice for today's build and that's actually to provide our cpu the ryzen 5600g with some cooling now one of the biggest advantages of amd processors is this the included stock cooler when it comes to intel you do get a stock cooler but it's frankly not good enough for a build like this one for us though this will do the job nicely if you wanted to upgrade the cooler later you can do but i think spending 40 on an aftermarket air cooler in this system is a bit of a waste of money that cash can be better spent upgrading other components elsewhere installing the cooler's really easy it will come with pre-applied thermal paste if it's brand new mine isn't which is why it's missing with four little screws on each corner these simply screw into the back plate that comes pre-installed on your motherboard a little something like this tighten up corner by corner don't tighten them all the way the first time around do a few different laps if you will of the cooler but otherwise you're good to go plug in the fan cable and the motherboard assembly is complete which allows us to move it over into the next component choice in this video and that is of course the case it caught me off guard there actually with how heavy it is this is cooler masters mb320l i featured this in a recent top 10 case video and it is undoubtedly my favorite budget case ever it comes in two versions a mesh and a mb311l mb320l this is one of cooler masters best cases in some time in my opinion you get some addressable rgb fans included as standard you get support for micro atx motherboards inside with plenty of room for long gpus as well now installing the motherboard is really easy but before we get all hasty and start screwing it in we need to take off all of the side panels taking off the side panels makes the case that much easier to work with and then we can go ahead and screw the motherboard in for this step you're going to want to lay the case down flat and locate each of the standoffs so you've got three at the top three along the middle and three down here at the bottom you then want to match these up with the standoff holes through the motherboard so for us we've got three holes at the top three holes along the middle and two at the bottom drop the motherboard into place pop in the i o through the back left of the chassis and screw it down once you've done this the motherboard is in and we can move on to believe it or not the final component in today's build looking good and that moves us on to the power supply now this is cooler masters mwe 500. it's a 500 watt 80 plus certified power supply that to be honest with you all is about as cheap as i'd ever go i wouldn't go for a no-brand power supply and i wouldn't go for one without an 80 plus certification this will do the job well for this build and for any future gpu upgrades within reason of course if you popped in at 3060 ti or 3070 you would need a more powerful power supply but for around 50 55 latest pricing of course can be found at the links below this will do the job really nicely the matte black cables also look great and although it's not modular there aren't too many to tuck away and hide away so there's no major issues on that front screw the power supply in and then plug in the motherboard power cable the largest of the bunch followed by the cpu power connector of course no gpu power is needed because we haven't got a graphics card which moves us on to the next step of the build before we actually test out the performance which is sorting out all of our drivers and bios and getting all of the settings optimal and ready to go to get the most out of our 5600g apu when it comes to installing windows and configuring the bios settings there's a few things you need to do the first is grab a monitor a keyboard and a mouse get this all connected to the system and then grab yourself a usb 3 stick now this usb flash drive is going to be used for installing windows you can do this using the free tool linked in the description below it's an official microsoft tool and will transform any existing usb into a drive that allows you to install windows on any computer go ahead and plug this in turn the power switch on the pc on and then hit delete on your keyboard hit and delete will force the motherboard to boot into the bios where we can change our key settings and get windows installed and just like that we have made it into the motherboard's bios so when you jump into the bios you can see the key specs we're talking about you can see the cpu which is amd's ryzen 5 5600g with radeon graphics which we'll test shortly and you can see our memory speed which currently is not correct so what we need to do is just jump into memory and actually increase the frequency up to 3600 megahertz this is really important for a ryzen processor especially an apu in order to do this we need to jump into advanced mode which you can access by pressing f7 and then go into the oc or overclock settings we're going to leave the cpu alone but enable xmp on profile 1. that will then automatically select our speed here at 3600 megahertz for the memory we then want to take a look at our boot priority and we want to find our bootable windows usb stick and just push this right to the front you can then hit f10 to save and exit it will show you all the changes you've made including the memory speed change which is right here at the bottom under xmp and then we can click yes and that will automatically boot us into the windows usb which we'll use to install windows 10. so we're going to just select all of our languages and input methods and hit install now you then want to go ahead and select i don't have a product key or if you do of course enter the product key you do have and then select windows 10 home after accepting the terms and conditions we want to install windows only and then go ahead and select the drive we want to install windows on so for us we've only got the singular 500 gigabyte seagate drive if you've got lots of different drives it might be a good idea to unplug or disconnect the ones you don't want to use especially if they're the same capacity and it's too difficult to differentiate which drive is which once you've done this the next process of the setup is going to take a little bit of time so i'll leave this for 10 minutes and come back to you then and there we have it we're now into windows and it's automatically found some basic display drivers to run at the full 1440p resolution if we just jump into task manager quickly and just uh check our memory speed you'll be able to see here that we are indeed running at 3600 megahertz it's that little number there we want to focus on with 16 gigs of memory and of course a ryzen 5 5600g you then want to uh install google chrome because microsoft edge is frankly awful and searchable msi b550m mortar drivers there aren't that many drivers to install to be honest with you for today's video but some basic cpu graphics drivers are always a good idea you can do this by heading to the drivers tab go ahead and select the operating system so first it's windows 1064 and then you want to jump to your system and chipset drivers and your onboard vga drivers these are the two really important ones you need to download and they will take your performance literally up a notch so make sure you get the graphics and the basic chipset drivers and go ahead and install those of course with no dedicated gpu we've got no amd radeon or nvidia geforce experience so any of the utilities listed that take your fancy are worth an install but these are the two key ones to get you rocking rolling and ready to go that allows us then to test out the performance of this system but before we do that we need to do something that we do here on the geeker channel we can week out it is of course an epic montage of just how good the machine looks when it's all powered up i'll see you in a second for the benchmarks but first roll that montage nice one this is a good looking system that despite its budget price tag wouldn't look out of place in most gaming setups but does it have the performance to match the aesthetic let's find out gta 5 as ever is the first game we tested out and here at 1080p normal slash medium settings we got 71 fps on average all of our frame rates were measured using both msi afterburners river tuna and nvidia frame view considering that gta 5 despite its age is still quite a demanding game to get these sort of numbers on an apu is an amazing start next up then and the second title we tested out was fortnite at 1080p competitive settings so everything tuned down to low render distance set to far we got 72 frames per second on average not a bad result that in fortnite a game which i'm sure a lot of 5600g prospective buyers will be looking at the performance of moving on to overwatch and here at 1080p with our settings tuned down we got 68 frames per second the 5600g really is made for these esports titles and allows you to get a real good in to budget gaming without of course getting that hundred frames per second at 1080p high it's all about what titles you want to play and managing those expectations csgo gave us some pretty good results 1080p high gave us 90 frames per second on average more than enough to be competitive on a 60 hertz monitor which is the important punch line of the 5600g while strong 90 and 99th percentile results gave us consistent results in counter-strike rainbow six siege was also pretty decent 1080p between medium and low uh using the game's inbuilt benchmarking mode yielded 58 fps so essentially 60 frames per second in rainbow six where visually the game looked more than good enough we also tested out a little bit of call of duty both black ops cold war the zombies mode and call of duty war zone unfortunately 1080p was a little bit too far for this super budget system if you want to get in excess of 60 fps 720p though in black ops cold war of course more of a aaa title than a game designed for this apu gave us 66 frames per second on average very very playable and not a terrible result by any means thankfully valorent which we also tested gave us some great results 1080p normal medium settings asaurus achieved 170 frames per second on average showing once again this machine kills it with those slightly older or easier to run esports titles finally then the last game is apex legends here at 720p low settings or competitive settings so everything tuned down but any render distance set up a little bit here we've got 80 frames per second i'm sure at 1080p you could still achieve 30 to 40 in apex but i think actually you'd rather take the slight resolution sacrifice and get that higher frame rate all in all we've actually been pretty impressed by the 5600 g i think it's definitely worth considering a gt 1030 or something like a 1650 that will be doing a dedicated deep dive comparison between those cards as so you guys can make the best informed buying decision either way the chip is a strong cpu with 6 cores and 12 threads and provides the best graphics integrated into a processor we've ever seen of course a dedicated gpu that cost 300 which is more than the price total of this cpu and gpu combo is going to provide you better results but for this build for esports totals we were very impressed and of course you can buy them right now if you'd like to do so or learn more about any of the components today check out the links in the description below thanks for tuning in though and as always we'll see you in the next onewhat is up guys welcome back to another geeker what video and in today's video i'm going to be building an awesome budget gaming pc with

monitor which is the important punch line of the 5600g while strong 90 and 99th percentile results gave us consistent results in counter-strike rainbow six siege was also pretty decent 1080p between medium and low uh using the game's inbuilt benchmarking mode yielded 58 fps so essentially 60 frames per second in rainbow six where visually the game looked more than good enough we also tested out a little bit of call of duty both black ops cold war the zombies mode and call of duty war zone unfortunately 1080p was a little bit too far for this super budget system if you want to get in excess of 60 fps 720p though in black ops cold war of course more of a aaa title than a game designed for this apu gave us 66 frames per second on average very very playable and not a terrible result by any means thankfully valorent which we also tested gave us some great results 1080p normal medium settings asaurus achieved 170 frames per second on average showing once again this machine kills it with those slightly older or easier to run esports titles finally then the last game is apex legends here at 720p low settings or competitive settings so everything tuned down but any render distance set up a little bit here we've got 80 frames per second i'm sure at 1080p you could still achieve 30 to 40 in apex but i think actually you'd rather take the slight resolution sacrifice and get that higher frame rate all in all we've actually been pretty impressed by the 5600 g i think it's definitely worth considering a gt 1030 or something like a 1650 that will be doing a dedicated deep dive comparison between those cards as so you guys can make the best informed buying decision either way the chip is a strong cpu with 6 cores and 12 threads and provides the best graphics integrated into a processor we've ever seen of course a dedicated gpu that cost 300 which is more than the price total of this cpu and gpu combo is going to provide you better results but for this build for esports totals we were very impressed and of course you can buy them right now if you'd like to do so or learn more about any of the components today check out the links in the description below thanks for tuning in though and as always we'll see you in the next one\n"
