Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “A Simple $500 Budget Gaming PC for Beginners”.
What’S happening guys, I’m tax always welcome back to another build on the channel. Today, I’m gon na be building a $ 500 budget PC to start gaming right now, whether you’re coming straight from console – or maybe you want to get into PC gaming, because all your cool friends are playing for tonight and apex legends. The cpu we’re going with is the i3 8100, and, despite being a year and a half old, this quad core lock, the CPU is still beast at gaming compared to the 2200 G and the r3 1200 from a and B on stock, the e100 performs much better In gaming – and you guys can check the full benchmarks in this article that my friend Brian did from tech, yes city, if you’re interested the motherboard we’re going with, is the gigabyte h3 10 ma which supports a gen processor. So there’s no need to flash the BIOS and for RAM. We are throwing in 8 gigs at 26 66 megahertz, which is the most that this board supports and to keep the average FPS above 60 and 1080p gaming. We have to go with the rx 570, specifically the card from power color to stay within the budget.
This is the red dragon and it’s going for around $ 130, which is a solid deal. This card is beast when it comes to 1080p gaming and it outperforms the GTX 1050 Ti and it even cost less than the gtx 750ti. So that’s interesting for storage, we’re keeping it simple.
So one terabyte from Seagate and powering the entire build is whereas the power suit is an EVGA 450 bronze, certified power supply and, lastly, everything is going inside the clean master box, q 300 L from Coolermaster it’s a micro ATX case with an acrylic side. Panel 2. Usb 3 ports on the side and an included 120 millimeter we are fan. I also like these cube designs on the mesh filters for the top and front.
This case only goes for $ 40.00 and it’s perfect for this budget build all-in-all. This build will cost you around $ 500 plus the cost of the CD key, which is around $ 15. You guys can actually buy it from SCT comm and if you use my code, you can get an extra 10 % off make sure to check the link below.
If you guys, don’t want to spend full price on a CD key. Now I want to be clear guys this PC is not meant for future expandability, so if you guys are planning upgrading parts within the next year or so, this build is not for you. It’S specifically for people that want the best gaming performance right now around $ 500, without the hassle of upgrading parts or overclocking anything you just slap on the parts and you get to go now. Here’S a better part list for both Intel and AMD for people that want future upgrade ability I’ll drop a link for those parts, as well as the parts that are going to be used in this build down below. If you guys want to check that out, but anyways what that said, let’s put these parts together and see how well it does. In gaming, I first came csgo. We are on maxed out settings that looks like this time, I’m not playing with medium bots guys. I am playing with oh, that was my apologies fellow terrorists, but ever played against hard bots. So I’m tired of killing easy BOTS or medium bots.
So I’m gon na try and test my skill, alright Wow yeah hard bots. Aren’T that hard, apparently Wow. My aim is so bad Jesus.
You would think benchmarking csgo so many times that would be good at it. Well yeah frame wise we’re getting in the high hundreds low 200s, depending on where we’re going. Oh, no, I’m not gon na I’m gon na get this! Oh.
Why am I so bad yeah low to hundreds high one hundred? Oh my. I should just stay away from matchmaking honestly, just stick to BOTS. That was so terrible anyways, as I was saying, hi like so as I was saying, average FPS and the high hundreds low at 200. So then again, this game can run on pretty much any potato.
That’S not really surprising, really well, yeah fluid gameplay, no lagging no stuttering. The 800 100 is kicking ass. Oh, oh, my god. Alright, whatever moving on to the next game, alright guys, the next game is fortnight, the game that everyone loves to hate or loves to play. Depending on who, you ask, I check out the settings real, quick everything is maxed out in 1080p, except anti-aliasing, which is off and then post-processing is set to low okay, so we’re getting anywhere from 70 to 80 high 70s low 80s in the beginning.
Let’S get into a fight and see if the frames did I’m gon na die out here. I know it. Oh all right, ladies and gentlemen, fortnight’s all right next up is battlefield. 5. We are playing domination.
Multiplayer settings we are, let’s see we are on high preset we’re getting in the high 60s low 70s, not bad. This game is definitely playable with the 80 100 and the RX 5 70. You won’t be getting over 100 FPS, but is still playable. So if you guys want to play over 100, you gon na have to lower the settings down to medium, but this is definitely playable over 60 in high settings.
I got you hey you get that buddy! Oh alright! Well, that is battlefield 5 ion multiplayer legend. I’M moving on to the next game, our next game. We have apex legends for some reason.
Msi Afterburner does not work with this. Only fraps does so. You guys can see the FPS counter on the bottom right settings.
We are using pretty much set to high. This is by default and in touch any of the settings here and it’s way for a game alright, so on the ground right now, average FPS we’re looking at high 80s low 90s so far, just running around no battles, alright, so except there’s a fight going on Over here so looks like in battle. The frames did that down to the low 60s, which isn’t bad, I mean the goal is to keep above 60 FPS, and this is in high settings. So do keep that in mind.
The cool thing is that there was no stuttering or lagging during the fights, so that is also a really good sign. Oh my god, I literally almost died. Oh my god. What was that? What you have apex Legends is definitely playable over 60fps on this five hundred dollar budget PC. Well, it may not have future expandability, but it sure does kick ass. In 1080p gaming, we were getting over 60 fps across most games and high settings with no lag or stuttering, while keeping low temps and no fan noise.
Like I said earlier, if you guys want to sacrifice performance in exchange for upgrade ability, then the a and B route is your best option once again, I’ll drop a link to all the parts I mentioned in this article, including all the parts for this build.
