Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Gaming PC Build Buying Guide for all Budgets!”.
What’S happening is mtax aureus and before the year ends, I want to go over three separate PC configurations for all types of budgets, starting with a non-tree level, 1080p gaming PC for less than $ 500. Then we have a mid-range $ 1,000 gaming and streaming PC with an RT X 2070 and for the ballers out there that want to build a beast 4k gaming machine that can also be used for streaming content creation and pretty much anything else. Really. Then I got one just for you that cost three thousand dollars. I’M also going to be building one of these pcs on the channel.
But I want you guys to vote and let me know which one in the comment section down below I’ll be doing a full. Build guide, as well as an overclocking tutorial with Windows, installation and all that, so do keep that in mind. Also this video get 6,000 likes. I will pick one random person in the comments section and I will send over the parts for the budget PC, which is the first PC I’m gon na, be talking about in this article and if you guys live outside of the country, I’m just gon na send You five million dollars in cash so that we can avoid customs and shipping costs and stuff like that.
Winner will be announced January 15th on my Twitter account. Also, since Christmas is around the corner, I teamed up with MSI on their best tech gift ideas under 1225. If you guys are interested in it, I’ll drop a link to it down below alright, so the first build is gon na cost you a little less than $ 500 and that’s including the Windows 10 CD key, which you can buy for just $ 15. We’Re going with the 2,200 G quad-core processor, which offers a lot of performance for the money.
The 2200 G is very popular in budget builds because of the overclock ability you can easily push it to 3.8 gigahertz on the stock, cooler or 3.9. If you’re lucky there’s a great tutorial on overclocking, which I will link below, if you guys want to check it out, I didn’t want to cheap out on the motherboard, and I wanted something with future expandability. So the b4 50m bazooka from MSI has a decent price and some nice features.
For starters, it supports overclocking. It has four dimm slots m-dot to support and three fan headers. The board does support ram up to 34 66 megahertz, but we’re going with two sticks for a total of eight gigs at 3000 megahertz from team Vulcan, which fits perfectly within our budget, and since we do have two extra them slots on the board, you can always Add an extra a gigs of ram in the future if you do end up upgrading for storage, we’re keeping it simple with a one terabyte hard drive from Hitachi.
However, if you have a slightly higher budget, consider buying a 120 gigabyte SSD for the operating system. For the GPU I went with the rx 574 gigabyte card because that’s currently the best bang for your buck GPU under $ 200 for 1080p gaming. When you look at the benchmarks, you can see that it outperforms the gtx 1050 TI in almost every game. It’S also cheaper than the GTX 1050 TI by around 20 dollars, making it the obvious choice for this budget build. You can go with any rx 574 gigabyte card out there just make sure you’re not spending more than $ 150 on the GPU. The case we’re going with is super cheap, it’s only $ 27 and it’s from Rosewell.
I try to save as much money as I could on the case, but at the same time not get something really crappy for the price. It’S actually not a bad case. It’S got a see-through side panel, four USB ports in the front, two of which are USB 3, and it comes with two pre-installed fans.
We got a single 120 millimeter fan in the front and an 80 millimeter fan for the rear. It’S definitely not the best. Looking case out there, but for $ 27, I think it’s a steal.
Finally powering the PC is a family white bronze, certified power supply from EVGA, which is going for $ 38. If you plan on picking up a Windows – 10 CD key for $ 15, that will bring your total up to $ 4.99 and 44 cents before tax and shipping. So that’s your on tree-level gaming, PC on the $ 500.
Now, let’s move on to something with a little more power. This build is for anyone that wants to game in quad HD resolution over 60 fps or wants to max up most games and 1080p in the highest settings over a hundred FPS. This build is gon na cost you a little over a thousand dollars, but this time we’re going with the horizon 5.
2600. For several reasons. First of all, once you overclock the 2600, you will get pretty much the same performance as the 2600 X. It just doesn’t make any sense spending an extra 45 dollars to get the same thing in almost all the benchmarks.
The performance is nearly identical. You can even overclock the CPU using the stock cooler. It can easily hit anywhere from four to four point: three gigahertz. The second reason is that the 2600 is on par with the i3 8400 when it comes to 1440p gaming and it’s 55 dollars cheaper than the i-5, so you’re getting more bang for your buck.
The motherboard we’re going with is the B 450 M. It’S a micro ATX board, but it also has two PCI slots: it’s got support for two m dot: 2 SSDs and four dimm slots. It even has some wide UB lighting on the side and two additional RGB headers on the board. This is a really popular microwave TX board and it’s been sold up for a while now so make sure to check back after Christmas.
If you want to pick one up for RAM we’re sticking with the usual eight gigs from team Vulcan at 3000 megahertz. But once again – and there is room for two additional sticks, if needed, for storage, we’re going with a simple one, terabyte hard drive from WV once again guys, I’m focusing more on gaming performance, so feel free to throw it and then dot 2 or an SSD. If you like, now for the graphics card, we’re going with the our TX 2070 with this GPU, you will either gain comfortably in 1440p over 60 FPS or if your gaming in 1080p, you can expect average frames over 100 in max settings across most games. According to the benchmarks, the case I picked up for this build is the do case or do Cassie from deep cool.
I don’t even know how you say that, which is an all-white mid tower case and as a clear side panel, with a single USB 3 port. In the front – and the case comes with 2 pre-installed fans, there’s a lot of good-looking cases out there between 50 and 60 dollars. So this one doesn’t look appealing to you, then feel free to look around for something that does finally powering the build. Is a 650 watt power supply from Rosewill? This is actually a really good price for a fully modular power supply.
That’S gold! Certified this entire build will cost you a little over a thousand dollars before tax and shipping, but it’s a solid gaming and streaming PC, which can also be used for productivity, since it does have 6 cores and 12 threads. So when the applications that utilize multiple cores will take advantage of, this build that’s been at least for my ballers out there. We have a souped up gaming machine and that will keep you happy and satisfied for a long time, and this is for anyone that wants to game comfortably in 4k resolution or someone that is looking for a PC that can handle heavy multi-core applications. Or maybe someone that wants both – you can pretty much do anything with this configuration, but you’re gon na pay a pretty penny for it.
For starters, we were throwing in the best gaming CPU in the market right now, the 8 core 9900 K. It doesn’t beat the 8700 K by much, but nonetheless, if you’re looking for the best of the best. This is it when it comes to gaming.
We do need to cool this bad boy, since we are going to overclock it. The H 159 from Corsair should get the job done and it will look good doing it too. The 240 millimeter radiator with RGB goodness.
I don’t want to go completely overkill on the motherboard since we’re not doing SLI or any crazy water cooling. So the msi mag z, 390 is actually the sweet spot when it comes to features, design and price. It pretty much has everything you need to build a high-end gaming PC. For starters, it has a 12 power phase delivery with two eight-penny PC connectors, which will help in getting a smooth and stable orbit clock.
It also comes with wireless AC and some RGB lighting on the heatsink, so a pretty solid board for the money now for RAM. We’Re going with a total of 32 gigs at 32 hundred megahertz from the popular treinen, z or RGB sticks for storage. We do have some options this time around. After all, that is a high-end build, so we’re throwing in a 250 gigabyte, m2 SSD, which will have the operating system installed on we’re, also throwing in a one terabyte SSD for all the games and applications that we want to boot fast from and finally, a 2 Terabyte hard drive for all the junk and miscellaneous files.
The r-tx 20 80 TI is a no-brainer for this price point. It’S currently the fastest GPU at right now, well, aside from the Titan RT X, but that’s way over price right now, but what the RT x 2080 TI. You should be able to gain comfortably in 4k resolution over 60fps and most titles. The case we’re going with on this build is the H, 500 P from Coolermaster which I’ve actually, then I build in a while back on that channel. One of the reasons why I really like this case other than the design is the airflow. You get two massive 200 millimeter RGB fans in the front and a 140 millimeter fan in the rear.
It also has a PSU shroud, any vertical GPU man there’s just an all-around sexy case with really good airflow. I mean we’re gon na be overclocking, both the CPU and GPU, so airflow is gon na, be really important in this build and, finally powering all the components as the 1000 watt platinum-certified power supply from corsair. This build is gon na cost. You a little over three thousand dollars, but what you’re getting over here is a beast PC that can pretty much handle everything you throw at it once again.
I’Ll drop a link to all the parts mention in this article. If you guys enjoyed it drop a like, and if you didn’t, you know what to do thanks again for watching. As always, I will see you in the next one. .
