Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “$1000 Gaming PC Build – R5 3600 + 5700 XT”.
If you guys have around $ 1,000 to spend on your next PC, then this is what you should be building. Next, it’s got the horizon: 5 3606, core 12th red processor, 16 gigs of ram and the RX 57 gel xt. Let’S begin now, normally I’m against going with blow cards because they do run hotter and louder compared to AI b-but. The XFX 57g xt was going for only 340 dollars, which was an insane deal, so I couldn’t pass that up because of that I was able to fit this underneath the thousand dollar budget.
Now, if the deal expires by the time you guys are watching this video, I will leave a link to a similar price to 5700 XT down below. Instead, now, if you guys have a smaller budget to work with, then I do recommend swapping out the GPU with an rx 5700 or any other GPU that does fit your budget. Rison does love fast memory, which is why we are going with 16 gigabytes at 3600. Megahertz, these are the Ola, Warhawks RGB RAM sticks, and this is actually the first time I’m using them in a build. But, judging by the reviews, these are currently the best value RGB sticks. You can buy right now with this speed, which is perfect because it does fit underneath the budget for storage. We are sticking with a single SSD. I went with the GX one from Team Group. This is a 960 gigabyte SSD and it’s gon na have plenty of space for the operating system and all the games that I’m gon na download and benchmark now for the motherboard, we’re going with the new p450 tomahawk max from msi, because this is only four dollars. More over the non max version, there’s only two major differences between these boards. The tomahawk max offers third gen rising support right out of the box and supports higher memory other than that these boards are practically identical.
If you can save at least $ 20.00 going with a non max version, then I do recommend doing that. Instead, because you’re not gon na lose out on any performance and you can save money at the same time, but for $ 4 difference, it just makes sense to go with the newer version powering. Everything is a 600 watt power supply from thermaltake that I picked up for only $ 48 and everything is going inside the Antec NX 400. It’S a mid tower case with a pretty thick tempered glass panel.
We’Ve got a few USB ports in the front and an included 120 millimeter RGB fan some of the things I like about this case are the cutouts in the back for cable management. The PSU shroud is also nice and, of course, the RGB accents in the front of the case that can be changed using the button up top. As you guys know, I like to focus on the aesthetics portion of the build as well, which is why we’re gon na cover up those ugly power supply cables with some extensions. I think this is up from Amazon for only $ 35 and they’re gon na look really clean inside the build and, of course, we’ve got thrown some RGB. So I did pick up a couple: RGB strips and extra RGB fans for better airflow. This entire kit over here does cost around thirty five dollars, and it includes three one: twenty millimeter fans and two RGB strips the total cost of this PC came out to a little under $ 1000, which does include the optional parts I just mentioned.
I also be doing a separate build guide, so if you guys want to pick up the parts and follow along and build yourself to the exact same PC, then I’ll drop a link to that video below if it’s available. But with that said, let’s put this together and see what it can do, we’re only spending $ 1,000, I’m very happy with the performance of this PC. But if I’m being honest with you guys it’s a little overkill for a 1080p gaming, the 5700 XT is meant for higher resolution gaming, specifically 1440p.
So if you’re stuck on 1080, then I would personally swap out the GPU for something like an rx 5700 or even an RT X. 2060 super like I said. The only reason why I got the 57 XT is because of the amazing deal I got on it as expected.
The GPU did one pretty hot peaking at ninety degrees Celsius. In some games like read that Redemption, while the CPU saw temperatures as high as 75 degrees, while playing for night and apex legends, which is actually pretty good, considering it is overclocked using the stock cooler regardless of the high temps, the PC didn’t experience any stuttering or Crashing so that’s always a good sign. The noise level isn’t too bad either what the fans ramped up to max. You can barely hear any fan noise over the game noise, especially if you have headphones on [ Applause ]. Now the fan configuration inside the PC helped a lot for cooling, so if you’re planning on building this, I do recommend at least to fans as intake for the front and one fan as exhaust, either in the back or top. Now, if you can do for fans, I mean that would be the better choice.
Obviously, but if three is all you got, then that’s what I recommend aesthetics wise. This bill looks pretty damn clean. If I say so myself, you know I was going for an old black build with RGB lighting. However, you can’t change the colors of the fans and the case to a static color. If you want. The only thing I don’t like is the red LED from the GPU, which kind of ruins the rest of the colors.
In the build I mean unless you’re going for a black and red build. In that case, it will work out. Now I wasn’t able to add much overclocking to the GPU, but I did manage to squeeze out an average of 5 fps across all the games, which is better than nothing.
I guess my overall building experience in this case was mostly positive. The case itself is built pretty well with lots of support for cable management. I just love the extra holes on the bottom over here to help out with routing the cables the RGB accents and the front looks pretty badass.
I would say – and I do like the tint on the tempered glass panel – I have only one minor gripe with this case, and that is the amount of space for cable management behind the motherboard tray. You get maybe a centimeter of space which, if you have bulky components in the back, it’s gon na be difficult. Closing the panel and you kind of have this bulge sticking out in the back, which I guess it’s not a big deal since you don’t technically see the back of the case anyways, as I mentioned before, there will be a build guide on this. So if you want to build this exact same PC, maybe with a different GPU or different components, then make sure you subscribe with notifications enabled because it’s coming very soon and if the video is already available, I’ll drop a link to it down below. Along with all the parts I used in this build, then you guys so much watching as always, if you enjoyed it, feel free to toss a like, and if you didn’t, you know what to do. I love your faces and, as always, I will see you in the next article .
