"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat is up guys welcome back to another geeker video and in this video i'm going to be building a budget gaming pc build for 2021. if you've got between five and six hundred dollars to spend on an awesome system for entry-level 1080p gaming this is the video for you i'll not only be running through all of the components and how i managed to pick them up in budget i'll be covering off the entire build process showing you what to do step by step from start to finish installing windows sorting the bios and the drivers before booting the machine up and testing it out with some of my favorite titles and some of your guys favorite titles too before you do that though make sure to get subscribed if you aren't already but let's do this after a quick ad from today's video sponsor the latest range of netgear nighthawk routers are now available at ebuya with support for the latest wi-fi 6 tech which provides incredible network speeds alongside powerful processing and great signal strength it's awesome for staying online with low latency all of the time i've taken a look at the ax6 ax12 and xr1000 over on the ebuya youtube channel i've been super impressed strong signal strength and the legendary doomer os on selected routers make them perfect for gamers out there learn more at the video in the card section now and the links to ebuyer at the top of the description below looking at the parts for this build to begin with we've got some really strong components today whether it's amd's ryzen 3 3100 which is a superb quad-core budget cpu that's finally back in stock hallelujah to msi's budget oriented b550 pro vdh this is an awesome budget motherboard with support for overclocking of both your memory and your cpu it will also support our 3100 out the box with no need for any bios updates or anything scary like that it's got a great feature set and yes it's pretty plain it's pretty bare bones but it does the job nicely and won't impede on our performance today power is provided by cooler masters super budget friendly mwe 500. this is the cheapest power supply i'd probably recommend but the graphics card we have today doesn't use basically any power at all in fact it solely runs off the lane on the motherboard meaning you don't need any extra gpu power connectors which this unit does still have for future upgrades but it keeps us on the safe side as far as memory is concerned i've got a brand new kit from corsair this is their vengeance rgb rt it's ryzen certified memory at with speeds up to 3 600 megahertz on this particular kit that's perfect for the build today you don't need any higher than that but go any lower and you will see a performance here in fact check out this side-by-side gameplay from this build with our ryzen memory first at about 2133 megahertz and then at 3600 megahertz the fps difference is very real storage is provided by seagate's barracuda q1 it's a two and a half inch super budget drive if you've got more cash i'd say storage isn't a bad place to spend that money something like seagate's fire cuda 510 or a kingston gen 3 nvme drive are great bets for the graphics card i've got a gtx 1650 non super now buying a gpu in 2021 is wow it's quite impossible but finally we appear to be getting somewhere now yes gpu supply is still pretty poor for 30 series but if you're in the market for a budget card 1650s can be found new for around 200 you really do have to shop around but what i'll say is you don't need to get super lucky to find one at this price point you can definitely do so ebay is also a good bet if you don't mind used cards but i've seen multiple new examples in the uk and the us at the 200 mark i'll put some links for various different sites that we've found stuck on below but obviously you guys clicking on them and buying them will reduce that stock so just be patient and make sure you shop around because it is there at least for the uber budget cards out there finally the last component today is our case i'm a massive huge ginormous fanboy of the deep cool m-a cube 110. they sent one out for like a video ages ago and i just keep using it alongside the techwear kind of budget option and the cooler master mb320l this is one of the best budget cases i've ever seen airflow could probably be improved a little bit but you'll find for a build like this temperatures are still pretty good the case looks great as well with white and black colourways available and a tempered glass side panel solid build quality and a stupidly good price point make it the perfect choice how do we actually go about putting this system together though well let's round up the motherboard our processor our ram or our memory and this the stock cooler that comes included with your ryzen 3 cpu this is one of the best things that amd do is actually including a really good stock cooler the intel ones just aren't good enough for me to do the same in a video like this one your motherboard will come packaged up in a nice little anti-static bag you won't need to use this again but do keep it safe for the rare occasion that your motherboard is safe faulty and you might you know need to send it back grab the motherboard out the box this is really cool actually it's got a heatsink for the m.2 drives something is not often seen on super budget boards so awesome work msi and also take out your included rear i o shield you'll need to pop this into the case before any other steps so get it out now and it's a good gentle reminder to have on your building table or work surface or workbench or pc building station throughout the course of not just your video but the process so the motherboard here we just need to worry about a couple of things the cpu socket's obviously the main one as this is where the processor is going to go and then these black plastic brackets where the cpu stock callout is going to be installed we'll come back to these in a second but first the process app locate the little golden triangle on the processor itself and you want to match this up with the plastic triangle on the cpu socket so for us it's actually on the top left hand side of this motherboard lift the arm on your cpu upwards a little something like this then go ahead and just line those triangles up drop the processor into place if you like you can give it a little bit of a wiggle before popping the arm back down and we're basically good to go we're going to install the stock cooler next but to do this we actually need to remove these two plastic brackets i know that might sound a little bit weird but all will become clear in just a moment go ahead and take these plastic brackets off and then you'll reveal these four holes on the motherboard we're going to use these holes to fasten the cooler down into often you will get thermal paste on the bottom of the cooler but if it's not brand new just drop a dab of fresh stuff on and you're basically good to go the cpu and the cooler are nice and complete moving up to the ram then and this is probably the easiest part actually of any build as far as installation is concerned go ahead and unbox your dims take them out the box these corsair ones have got this really cool two-tone white and black aesthetic that actually should match up with the case today quite nicely they just look a little bit unique and i don't think i'd have ever expected this from corsair but i'm not complaining i think they look really really cool pc components are definitely getting more colorful lately as you'll see in one of our recent cooler master videos you can check out if you haven't already in the card section now what you want to do is go ahead and find the notch on the ram dim itself and line this up with the corresponding notch on the ram dim slot this isn't in the middle it's slightly off center even though it might not look it so just watch out for this and be careful pull back the clips then on the second dimm slot and then the fourth dimm slot line up your dim itself apply a bit of pressure to each side and the dim will slot very nicely into place simply repeat for as many of your dimms as you've got in our case two in every other slot and the motherboard assembly is nicely wrapped up what we can do now is actually preempt the next step of the build process today we want to locate each of the standoff holes through the motherboard so in our case we've got three up here at the top we've got a further three across the middle and then we've got two sort of at the bottom but these are actually on different levels these are the holes we're going to use to screw the motherboard down and these will line up with the corresponding holes in our case which you will be able to see if i just pop the side panel off our lovely beautiful deepcool macube 110. so you've got three at the top three across the middle and then two at the bottom on slightly different levels perfect this next step of the process is definitely easier if you go ahead and lay the case down flat before we actually pop the motherboard in we've got our pesky io shield that we mentioned earlier which needs to pop in to this square in the case itself the audio ports should be located at the bottom so basically closest to where the power supply is in your case with your flash bios button at the top right kind of where this white mesh grill is as well this will provide a really nice basis for you to slot your motherboard through once you've slotted it through simply screw it down with the included screws through all those holes we just pointed out and your motherboard is installed into the chassis next up we need to install our ssd today if we'd got an m.2 drive this would have just gone into the motherboard super easily but because we've got a two and a half inch drive the installation process is a bit different included in the case you get these four sort of little posts these actually screw down into the bottom of a sata drive and then just basically secure the drive into place we're then going to use these to put through the four rubber grommets at the back of the motherboard tray this is basically just a friction mount that will hold the drive into place and stop it going anywhere truth be told this is fully solid state there's nothing that moves so you could theoretically just basically shove it loosely in the bottom of the case it's not very clever and it looks a bit ugly but you aren't actually going to cause any damage to the drive so simply slot this into the pre-included mount wire it up with a satter data cable the other end of which goes to our motherboard and we'll give it power later when we go ahead and install the power supply which is actually the next step in this video when it comes to installing this component it's actually a really easy process in fact with our unit today the only slightly complicated bit is that we've got all these cables we need to manage and organize as it's a non-modular unit meaning you can't just unplug the ones that you don't need on the bottom of the unit you'll see you've got a fan and we need to make sure this fan is next to some ventilation aka we've got some air able to flow through the power supply so for us it means the fan needs to face downwards at the bottom vent we're then going to fasten it down with the four screw hole locations that you see at the back of the power supply and these will line up with these four screw hole locations at the back of the case to slide the power supply in screw it down and then we're going to plug in the cables and wiring before moving on to the gpu which i know is often the exciting part of any build and then we're going to go ahead and just wire up some of our key cables and wiring so you've got the 24 pin motherboard power cable on the right hand side our cpu power connector on the top left hand side and then of course the sata power connector to our ssd drive on the back of the case and that's actually looking really clean i haven't even done much cable management with a cable tile too i think we should be able to tuck those away very nicely indeed and i'm super happy with how this is looking and it moves us on to the final component today hallelujah and that is of course the gpu i talked about this earlier but the 1650 really is a great card for the budget gamer out there it does feel good that we can finally make a five six six hundred and fifty dollar build again of course price and volatility is still huge and a massive pain in the backside but the fact you can start picking some of these gpus up at prices that don't feel illegal can't be a bad thing if 1080p gaming is what you're after in some of the biggest esports games this card is a superb choice but it still has the legs and the muscle for triple a titles in 2021 and beyond now of course it goes without saying something like cyberpunk is not a very good idea on a gtx 1650 but basically anything else is game something like the 1660 super also provides a huge upgrade if you can find one of those at a reasonable price point two but keep an eye out for our 1660 super builds coming to the channel very soon indeed one of the major advantages of this card is that it doesn't actually require any additional power in fact this is basically it don't let size deceive you though it really is a pocket rocket especially for the price point and run solely from the power of our pcie lane on the motherboard in order to install this you just want to push back the clip on the lane itself and then go ahead and slide the gpu into place line it up with the slot apply a little bit of pressure and it should click nicely in we will need to fasten this down with the screw that comes included with the chassis to make sure it's affixed nicely into place before booting the system up to see how well it performs and how good it looks but first we need to make sure we've got windows installed sort all of our bios drivers and all that good stuff out so let's do that first in order to do this you need to plug up your now completed system to a monitor make sure you plug up to the graphics card not to the motherboard as well as a set of peripherals i'd recommend your keyboard and mouse go into some usb 2 ports if you've got them rather than usb 3 as these tend to initialize that little bit quicker you then want to go ahead and turn on your system and mash the delete key on the keyboard by continually pressing the delete key we should be automatically directed into our motherboard's bios to giving the monitor a moment just to boot up and the system time to do its thing here we go we are straight into the bios this is where we can change a few of our key settings first things first you want to go to overclocking don't worry we're not doing anything too complicated here we're not reprogramming the matrix i promise you but what we do need to do is make sure our ram is running at 3 600 megahertz to do this you want to go down and make sure that xmp is enabled by default it will be disabled you hit this turn it on select profile one or two doesn't really matter and then auto should just do all the work for you if it doesn't you can jump into here and pick out the exact speed you want so we want 3600 megahertz and that's pretty much all we need to do you then also want to jump up to boot priority that's this little bar here and you want to grab your usb stick if you haven't already go ahead to the link in the description below and create a bootable windows usb any flash drive is going to work for this usb 3 will be a bit quicker though so that's something to consider what we basically are doing here is forcing the system to boot into our windows drive and not any ssd or any other storage we've got plugged into the system so you can see here we can drag our usb stick anywhere in the order we want the front a little something like this we can then hit f10 on our keyboard which will allow us to save and exit so you can see here we've got xmp enabled and our ram frequency has jumped up to 3600 megahertz with the boot drive now our windows usb hit yes and the whole thing will kind of reboot once again and in theory should jump us into the windows installation process which is the next part of today's video giving it a couple of seconds i'm trying to do this in real time so you guys can see exactly what should happen to you there we go monitors come on hdmi one and there's the windows logo lovely stuff it's gonna boot into the windows installation environment we're then able to select our language and our territory so we're going for english united kingdom but obviously if you're in the u.s or otherwise choose those options and hit install now you'll then be prompted to agree to some terms and conditions choose your windows version and enter a product key if you don't have one like me just click i don't have a product key and you're able to continue selling through the process we're then able to go ahead and select the drive we want to install windows onto for us this is our 500 gigabyte storage drive if you've got multiple drives and you don't know which is which unplug the ones you don't want to use and leave the one you do and then that'll be the only one on the list hit next and wait for this next process to complete might take between 10 minutes and 30 minutes depending on the power speed of your system and the speed of your storage the last steps of the process are just to confirm your region agree or disagree to any tracking information keyboard layouts all that good stuff and once you've done that windows will do its final little bit of connection and then we're good to go the final steps then are to install all of our drivers and software utilities the most important is nvidia geforce experience you can get this by searching nvidia geforce experience and then it's one universal piece of software that will find the best drivers for basically any modern nvidia gpu any 16 series any rtx card is going to be fine this is the software you want to use once you've done that we're then going to navigate over to the product page for our motherboard and download any of the relevant networking lan rgb cpu drivers and all of those that you need will be linked on the support section of your motherboard's web page once you've got this your motherboard and your gpu will drive it up and ready to go we can now take a look at the system's performance but before we do that there's one thing we have to do here on the geek what channel is basically a rite of passage at this point and that's to see how good the system looks in a customary geekowot montage i'll see you in a sec but first roll that montage i can't describe to you how happy i am to see a good looking budget system back on the channel but now the all-important question of performance specifically is it any good well on your screen now is a summary of all the different gaming benchmarks we ran and the numbers we were able to achieve the 1650 is a more powerful card than people realize and i'll actually be delving more specifically into a couple of these titles in a moment but this gives you a good bird's eye view of the performance you can be expecting looking at our focus titles then let's kick things off with apex legends here we managed to achieve an average fps of 75 with strong 90 and 99 percentile results it is worth noting if you wanted some more frame rate you could tune the resolution or the visual fidelity down a touch but even still to get 75 fps on average is not a bad result on a system this cheap call of duty's warzone is next up and here once again we got some pretty solid results just shy of 60 frames per second but all of our testing today was done at 1080p which is the really important beer 90 and 99th percentile results were also strong showing consistent frame rates and as usual all of our numbers were tested with both msi afterburners river tuna and nvidia frame view next up is csgo this is a game that we don't test on all of our systems in great detail but for an esports oriented build like this it's a really important one to make sure it works 166 fps on average gave us some phenomenal results and is sure to satisfy even the high frame rate esports players out there the next game on our list today is possibly the opposite of cs go as far as frame rate goes and a title that some of you might be confused as to why we've tested it is of course none of that than cyberpunk one of the most difficult games to run it gives you an idea of the worst case scenario and our worst case scenario today consisted of 48 frames per second on average albeit not a great frame rate but when you compare this to the fps delivered by even next-gen consoles at 1080p or 4k this is not a million miles off i thought as well visually the game was really playable and if you really want to play cyberpunk on a budget i think this is a very doable system to do it on next up is fortnite easily the most popular title on our benchmark roster and here at competitive settings so 1080p low everything tuned down but the render distance set to far we managed to achieve an impressive 157 frames per second on average fortnite looked visually great on this machine even at low competitive settings and the frame rate delivered gta 5 is next up then today you saw a snippet of this earlier on in the video and here we got 75 frames per second when testing at 1080p in the games in built benchmarking mode if you'd like to see how this system stacks up against your current system or your laptop or whatever it is you might be using to play your games set up the benchmark mode in gta copy our settings and see what numbers you're able to get heck even pop them in the comments and we'll compare notes next up is overwatch once again again we don't test in great detail on all of our systems but one that seems very applicable to today's video 114 frames per second on average was a fantastic result and the game looked great moving on to rainbow six siege then the next title today and once again this was a gaming benchmark special what i mean by that is it's got a gaming benchmark mode allowing you guys to compare and contrast some really repeatable results 115 frames per second on average was a really strong result from our ryzen 3 and our gtx 1650 powered system finally then the last game today was valeran here we got some pretty impressive numbers this won't surprise anyone 166 fps on average so actually not that far ahead of fortnite at competitive settings with that though that pretty much wraps up our gaming benchmarks today and for that fact the whole video if you enjoyed this one you know what to do give it a big old like rating make sure to get subscribed to see more from us thanks for watching though and as always we'll see you in the next onewhat is up guys welcome back to another geeker video and in this video i'm going to be building a budget gaming pc build for 2021. if you've got between five and six hundred dollars to spend on an

check out if you haven't already in the card section now what you want to do is go ahead and find the notch on the ram dim itself and line this up with the corresponding notch on the ram dim slot this isn't in the middle it's slightly off center even though it might not look it so just watch out for this and be careful pull back the clips then on the second dimm slot and then the fourth dimm slot line up your dim itself apply a bit of pressure to each side and the dim will slot very nicely into place simply repeat for as many of your dimms as you've got in our case two in every other slot and the motherboard assembly is nicely wrapped up what we can do now is actually preempt the next step of the build process today we want to locate each of the standoff holes through the motherboard so in our case we've got three up here at the top we've got a further three across the middle and then we've got two sort of at the bottom but these are actually on different levels these are the holes we're going to use to screw the motherboard down and these will line up with the corresponding holes in our case which you will be able to see if i just pop the side panel off our lovely beautiful deepcool macube 110. so you've got three at the top three across the middle and then two at the bottom on slightly different levels perfect this next step of the process is definitely easier if you go ahead and lay the case down flat before we actually pop the motherboard in we've got our pesky io shield that we mentioned earlier which needs to pop in to this square in the case itself the audio ports should be located at the bottom so basically closest to where the power supply is in your case with your flash bios button at the top right kind of where this white mesh grill is as well this will provide a really nice basis for you to slot your motherboard through once you've slotted it through simply screw it down with the included screws through all those holes we just pointed out and your motherboard is installed into the chassis next up we need to install our ssd today if we'd got an m.2 drive this would have just gone into the motherboard super easily but because we've got a two and a half inch drive the installation process is a bit different included in the case you get these four sort of little posts these actually screw down into the bottom of a sata drive and then just basically secure the drive into place we're then going to use these to put through the four rubber grommets at the back of the motherboard tray this is basically just a friction mount that will hold the drive into place and stop it going anywhere truth be told this is fully solid state there's nothing that moves so you could theoretically just basically shove it loosely in the bottom of the case it's not very clever and it looks a bit ugly but you aren't actually going to cause any damage to the drive so simply slot this into the pre-included mount wire it up with a satter data cable the other end of which goes to our motherboard and we'll give it power later when we go ahead and install the power supply which is actually the next step in this video when it comes to installing this component it's actually a really easy process in fact with our unit today the only slightly complicated bit is that we've got all these cables we need to manage and organize as it's a non-modular unit meaning you can't just unplug the ones that you don't need on the bottom of the unit you'll see you've got a fan and we need to make sure this fan is next to some ventilation aka we've got some air able to flow through the power supply so for us it means the fan needs to face downwards at the bottom vent we're then going to fasten it down with the four screw hole locations that you see at the back of the power supply and these will line up with these four screw hole locations at the back of the case to slide the power supply in screw it down and then we're going to plug in the cables and wiring before moving on to the gpu which i know is often the exciting part of any build and then we're going to go ahead and just wire up some of our key cables and wiring so you've got the 24 pin motherboard power cable on the right hand side our cpu power connector on the top left hand side and then of course the sata power connector to our ssd drive on the back of the case and that's actually looking really clean i haven't even done much cable management with a cable tile too i think we should be able to tuck those away very nicely indeed and i'm super happy with how this is looking and it moves us on to the final component today hallelujah and that is of course the gpu i talked about this earlier but the 1650 really is a great card for the budget gamer out there it does feel good that we can finally make a five six six hundred and fifty dollar build again of course price and volatility is still huge and a massive pain in the backside but the fact you can start picking some of these gpus up at prices that don't feel illegal can't be a bad thing if 1080p gaming is what you're after in some of the biggest esports games this card is a superb choice but it still has the legs and the muscle for triple a titles in 2021 and beyond now of course it goes without saying something like cyberpunk is not a very good idea on a gtx 1650 but basically anything else is game something like the 1660 super also provides a huge upgrade if you can find one of those at a reasonable price point two but keep an eye out for our 1660 super builds coming to the channel very soon indeed one of the major advantages of this card is that it doesn't actually require any additional power in fact this is basically it don't let size deceive you though it really is a pocket rocket especially for the price point and run solely from the power of our pcie lane on the motherboard in order to install this you just want to push back the clip on the lane itself and then go ahead and slide the gpu into place line it up with the slot apply a little bit of pressure and it should click nicely in we will need to fasten this down with the screw that comes included with the chassis to make sure it's affixed nicely into place before booting the system up to see how well it performs and how good it looks but first we need to make sure we've got windows installed sort all of our bios drivers and all that good stuff out so let's do that first in order to do this you need to plug up your now completed system to a monitor make sure you plug up to the graphics card not to the motherboard as well as a set of peripherals i'd recommend your keyboard and mouse go into some usb 2 ports if you've got them rather than usb 3 as these tend to initialize that little bit quicker you then want to go ahead and turn on your system and mash the delete key on the keyboard by continually pressing the delete key we should be automatically directed into our motherboard's bios to giving the monitor a moment just to boot up and the system time to do its thing here we go we are straight into the bios this is where we can change a few of our key settings first things first you want to go to overclocking don't worry we're not doing anything too complicated here we're not reprogramming the matrix i promise you but what we do need to do is make sure our ram is running at 3 600 megahertz to do this you want to go down and make sure that xmp is enabled by default it will be disabled you hit this turn it on select profile one or two doesn't really matter and then auto should just do all the work for you if it doesn't you can jump into here and pick out the exact speed you want so we want 3600 megahertz and that's pretty much all we need to do you then also want to jump up to boot priority that's this little bar here and you want to grab your usb stick if you haven't already go ahead to the link in the description below and create a bootable windows usb any flash drive is going to work for this usb 3 will be a bit quicker though so that's something to consider what we basically are doing here is forcing the system to boot into our windows drive and not any ssd or any other storage we've got plugged into the system so you can see here we can drag our usb stick anywhere in the order we want the front a little something like this we can then hit f10 on our keyboard which will allow us to save and exit so you can see here we've got xmp enabled and our ram frequency has jumped up to 3600 megahertz with the boot drive now our windows usb hit yes and the whole thing will kind of reboot once again and in theory should jump us into the windows installation process which is the next part of today's video giving it a couple of seconds i'm trying to do this in real time so you guys can see exactly what should happen to you there we go monitors come on hdmi one and there's the windows logo lovely stuff it's gonna boot into the windows installation environment we're then able to select our language and our territory so we're going for english united kingdom but obviously if you're in the u.s or otherwise choose those options and hit install now you'll then be prompted to agree to some terms and conditions choose your windows version and enter a product key if you don't have one like me just click i don't have a product key and you're able to continue selling through the process we're then able to go ahead and select the drive we want to install windows onto for us this is our 500 gigabyte storage drive if you've got multiple drives and you don't know which is which unplug the ones you don't want to use and leave the one you do and then that'll be the only one on the list hit next and wait for this next process to complete might take between 10 minutes and 30 minutes depending on the power speed of your system and the speed of your storage the last steps of the process are just to confirm your region agree or disagree to any tracking information keyboard layouts all that good stuff and once you've done that windows will do its final little bit of connection and then we're good to go the final steps then are to install all of our drivers and software utilities the most important is nvidia geforce experience you can get this by searching nvidia geforce experience and then it's one universal piece of software that will find the best drivers for basically any modern nvidia gpu any 16 series any rtx card is going to be fine this is the software you want to use once you've done that we're then going to navigate over to the product page for our motherboard and download any of the relevant networking lan rgb cpu drivers and all of those that you need will be linked on the support section of your motherboard's web page once you've got this your motherboard and your gpu will drive it up and ready to go we can now take a look at the system's performance but before we do that there's one thing we have to do here on the geek what channel is basically a rite of passage at this point and that's to see how good the system looks in a customary geekowot montage i'll see you in a sec but first roll that montage i can't describe to you how happy i am to see a good looking budget system back on the channel but now the all-important question of performance specifically is it any good well on your screen now is a summary of all the different gaming benchmarks we ran and the numbers we were able to achieve the 1650 is a more powerful card than people realize and i'll actually be delving more specifically into a couple of these titles in a moment but this gives you a good bird's eye view of the performance you can be expecting looking at our focus titles then let's kick things off with apex legends here we managed to achieve an average fps of 75 with strong 90 and 99 percentile results it is worth noting if you wanted some more frame rate you could tune the resolution or the visual fidelity down a touch but even still to get 75 fps on average is not a bad result on a system this cheap call of duty's warzone is next up and here once again we got some pretty solid results just shy of 60 frames per second but all of our testing today was done at 1080p which is the really important beer 90 and 99th percentile results were also strong showing consistent frame rates and as usual all of our numbers were tested with both msi afterburners river tuna and nvidia frame view next up is csgo this is a game that we don't test on all of our systems in great detail but for an esports oriented build like this it's a really important one to make sure it works 166 fps on average gave us some phenomenal results and is sure to satisfy even the high frame rate esports players out there the next game on our list today is possibly the opposite of cs go as far as frame rate goes and a title that some of you might be confused as to why we've tested it is of course none of that than cyberpunk one of the most difficult games to run it gives you an idea of the worst case scenario and our worst case scenario today consisted of 48 frames per second on average albeit not a great frame rate but when you compare this to the fps delivered by even next-gen consoles at 1080p or 4k this is not a million miles off i thought as well visually the game was really playable and if you really want to play cyberpunk on a budget i think this is a very doable system to do it on next up is fortnite easily the most popular title on our benchmark roster and here at competitive settings so 1080p low everything tuned down but the render distance set to far we managed to achieve an impressive 157 frames per second on average fortnite looked visually great on this machine even at low competitive settings and the frame rate delivered gta 5 is next up then today you saw a snippet of this earlier on in the video and here we got 75 frames per second when testing at 1080p in the games in built benchmarking mode if you'd like to see how this system stacks up against your current system or your laptop or whatever it is you might be using to play your games set up the benchmark mode in gta copy our settings and see what numbers you're able to get heck even pop them in the comments and we'll compare notes next up is overwatch once again again we don't test in great detail on all of our systems but one that seems very applicable to today's video 114 frames per second on average was a fantastic result and the game looked great moving on to rainbow six siege then the next title today and once again this was a gaming benchmark special what i mean by that is it's got a gaming benchmark mode allowing you guys to compare and contrast some really repeatable results 115 frames per second on average was a really strong result from our ryzen 3 and our gtx 1650 powered system finally then the last game today was valeran here we got some pretty impressive numbers this won't surprise anyone 166 fps on average so actually not that far ahead of fortnite at competitive settings with that though that pretty much wraps up our gaming benchmarks today and for that fact the whole video if you enjoyed this one you know what to do give it a big old like rating make sure to get subscribed to see more from us thanks for watching though and as always we'll see you in the next onewhat is up guys welcome back to another geeker video and in this video i'm going to be building a budget gaming pc build for 2021. if you've got between five and six hundred dollars to spend on an awesome system for entry-level 1080p gaming this is the video for you i'll not only be running through all of the components and how i managed to pick them up in budget i'll be covering off the entire build process showing you what to do step by step from start to finish installing windows sorting the bios and the drivers before booting the machine up and testing it out with some of my favorite titles and some of your guys favorite titles too before you do that though make sure to get subscribed if you aren't already but let's do this after a quick ad from today's video sponsor the latest range of netgear nighthawk routers are now available at ebuya with support for the latest wi-fi 6 tech which provides incredible network speeds alongside powerful processing and great signal strength it's awesome for staying online with low latency all of the time i've taken a look at the ax6 ax12 and xr1000 over on the ebuya youtube channel i've been super impressed strong signal strength and the legendary doomer os on selected routers make them perfect for gamers out there learn more at the video in the card section now and the links to ebuyer at the top of the description below looking at the parts for this build to begin with we've got some really strong components today whether it's amd's ryzen 3 3100 which is a superb quad-core budget cpu that's finally back in stock hallelujah to msi's budget oriented b550 pro vdh this is an awesome budget motherboard with support for overclocking of both your memory and your cpu it will also support our 3100 out the box with no need for any bios updates or anything scary like that it's got a great feature set and yes it's pretty plain it's pretty bare bones but it does the job nicely and won't impede on our performance today power is provided by cooler masters super budget friendly mwe 500. this is the cheapest power supply i'd probably recommend but the graphics card we have today doesn't use basically any power at all in fact it solely runs off the lane on the motherboard meaning you don't need any extra gpu power connectors which this unit does still have for future upgrades but it keeps us on the safe side as far as memory is concerned i've got a brand new kit from corsair this is their vengeance rgb rt it's ryzen certified memory at with speeds up to 3 600 megahertz on this particular kit that's perfect for the build today you don't need any higher than that but go any lower and you will see a performance here in fact check out this side-by-side gameplay from this build with our ryzen memory first at about 2133 megahertz and then at 3600 megahertz the fps difference is very real storage is provided by seagate's barracuda q1 it's a two and a half inch super budget drive if you've got more cash i'd say storage isn't a bad place to spend that money something like seagate's fire cuda 510 or a kingston gen 3 nvme drive are great bets for the graphics card i've got a gtx 1650 non super now buying a gpu in 2021 is wow it's quite impossible but finally we appear to be getting somewhere now yes gpu supply is still pretty poor for 30 series but if you're in the market for a budget card 1650s can be found new for around 200 you really do have to shop around but what i'll say is you don't need to get super lucky to find one at this price point you can definitely do so ebay is also a good bet if you don't mind used cards but i've seen multiple new examples in the uk and the us at the 200 mark i'll put some links for various different sites that we've found stuck on below but obviously you guys clicking on them and buying them will reduce that stock so just be patient and make sure you shop around because it is there at least for the uber budget cards out there finally the last component today is our case i'm a massive huge ginormous fanboy of the deep cool m-a cube 110. they sent one out for like a video ages ago and i just keep using it alongside the techwear kind of budget option and the cooler master mb320l this is one of the best budget cases i've ever seen airflow could probably be improved a little bit but you'll find for a build like this temperatures are still pretty good the case looks great as well with white and black colourways available and a tempered glass side panel solid build quality and a stupidly good price point make it the perfect choice how do we actually go about putting this system together though well let's round up the motherboard our processor our ram or our memory and this the stock cooler that comes included with your ryzen 3 cpu this is one of the best things that amd do is actually including a really good stock cooler the intel ones just aren't good enough for me to do the same in a video like this one your motherboard will come packaged up in a nice little anti-static bag you won't need to use this again but do keep it safe for the rare occasion that your motherboard is safe faulty and you might you know need to send it back grab the motherboard out the box this is really cool actually it's got a heatsink for the m.2 drives something is not often seen on super budget boards so awesome work msi and also take out your included rear i o shield you'll need to pop this into the case before any other steps so get it out now and it's a good gentle reminder to have on your building table or work surface or workbench or pc building station throughout the course of not just your video but the process so the motherboard here we just need to worry about a couple of things the cpu socket's obviously the main one as this is where the processor is going to go and then these black plastic brackets where the cpu stock callout is going to be installed we'll come back to these in a second but first the process app locate the little golden triangle on the processor itself and you want to match this up with the plastic triangle on the cpu socket so for us it's actually on the top left hand side of this motherboard lift the arm on your cpu upwards a little something like this then go ahead and just line those triangles up drop the processor into place if you like you can give it a little bit of a wiggle before popping the arm back down and we're basically good to go we're going to install the stock cooler next but to do this we actually need to remove these two plastic brackets i know that might sound a little bit weird but all will become clear in just a moment go ahead and take these plastic brackets off and then you'll reveal these four holes on the motherboard we're going to use these holes to fasten the cooler down into often you will get thermal paste on the bottom of the cooler but if it's not brand new just drop a dab of fresh stuff on and you're basically good to go the cpu and the cooler are nice and complete moving up to the ram then and this is probably the easiest part actually of any build as far as installation is concerned go ahead and unbox your dims take them out the box these corsair ones have got this really cool two-tone white and black aesthetic that actually should match up with the case today quite nicely they just look a little bit unique and i don't think i'd have ever expected this from corsair but i'm not complaining i think they look really really cool pc components are definitely getting more colorful lately as you'll see in one of our recent cooler master videos you can check out if you haven't already in the card section now what you want to do is go ahead and find the notch on the ram dim itself and line this up with the corresponding notch on the ram dim slot this isn't in the

this it's a really important one to make sure it works 166 fps on average gave us some phenomenal results and is sure to satisfy even the high frame rate esports players out there the next game on our list today is possibly the opposite of cs go as far as frame rate goes and a title that some of you might be confused as to why we've tested it is of course none of that than cyberpunk one of the most difficult games to run it gives you an idea of the worst case scenario and our worst case scenario today consisted of 48 frames per second on average albeit not a great frame rate but when you compare this to the fps delivered by even next-gen consoles at 1080p or 4k this is not a million miles off i thought as well visually the game was really playable and if you really want to play cyberpunk on a budget i think this is a very doable system to do it on next up is fortnite easily the most popular title on our benchmark roster and here at competitive settings so 1080p low everything tuned down but the render distance set to far we managed to achieve an impressive 157 frames per second on average fortnite looked visually great on this machine even at low competitive settings and the frame rate delivered gta 5 is next up then today you saw a snippet of this earlier on in the video and here we got 75 frames per second when testing at 1080p in the games in built benchmarking mode if you'd like to see how this system stacks up against your current system or your laptop or whatever it is you might be using to play your games set up the benchmark mode in gta copy our settings and see what numbers you're able to get heck even pop them in the comments and we'll compare notes next up is overwatch once again again we don't test in great detail on all of our systems but one that seems very applicable to today's video 114 frames per second on average was a fantastic result and the game looked great moving on to rainbow six siege then the next title today and once again this was a gaming benchmark special what i mean by that is it's got a gaming benchmark mode allowing you guys to compare and contrast some really repeatable results 115 frames per second on average was a really strong result from our ryzen 3 and our gtx 1650 powered system finally then the last game today was valeran here we got some pretty impressive numbers this won't surprise anyone 166 fps on average so actually not that far ahead of fortnite at competitive settings with that though that pretty much wraps up our gaming benchmarks today and for that fact the whole video if you enjoyed this one you know what to do give it a big old like rating make sure to get subscribed to see more from us thanks for watching though and as always we'll see you in the next one\n"
