my friend have the same case
I love how this video isn’t 10 minutes.
Watching this when I can’t afford a 10 dollars games and my bigger brother has a monster PC
cheap out on rgb fans, or anything rgb. cheap out on motherboard if you are not gonna oc your processor or anything.
I agree go cheap on the case but get the best gpu, you can get.
Is he trolling?
my exact case
Thats exactly how we assemble pc in INDIA
Tip number 0: wash your hands regularly
Hi I know a great company that makes custom gaming PCs for a pretty good price. I have used them before. Just ask if you would like to know the company.
Has my guy fake tanned? Just me?
I bought a used pc for 130 euros i got a microsoft keyboard and a 22 inch lg monitor as a plus. Specs: Intel i3 2100 3.1ghz gtx 550 ti 8gb ddr3 not sure of motherboard but it was some model of msi motherboard then a fractal desigin arc case i think it was worth it because been using it for one month now playing cs go h1z1 and any game needed with enough fps
That $3 case for $100 in indiašš psu $20 but $120 in india
His hands tho
im trying to save up for a cheap pc that can run csgo at LEAST, but id love to play other games too, eg. pubg, rust, dead by daylight…
rn i have i3-5005u
intel integrated graphics
4gb ram
ive had this laptop for 3 years now and want to play with my friends welppp
i think its going to take a couple years to save up
I’ve been reading user reviews at https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 of the 3.5ghz 6-core AMD FX-6300 processor (click the number in brackets). Most of them (1400) have been very positive. The few negative ones have been from people who don’t know how to build PCs properly, motherboard failures (which are blamed on the processor) or people who had no idea how to measure a processor’s performance (they think all their undemanding software will get a huge performance increase from their old PC). It’s possible that cores can be enabled/disabled in the BIOS and that not all of the cores had been enabled (on an Asus motherboard this is found in Advanced Clock Calibration).
Two reviews from Intel i7 users said it wasn’t far behind the i7’s performance. One wrote: āi use to have a i7 this blows that out of the water by running planetside 2 in all ultra with my r9 270x of course with a solid fps of 120 to 50 or 65ā.
People have written that the 6-core fx processors have 3 cores with 6 threads. The threads are proper integer cores but have limitations in use so are not true 6-core processors.
One person who had the previous generation 6-core AMD Phenom II x6 1035T 2.7ghz said that they tried the fx-6300 using the Cinebench software and it scored the same. Maybe Cinebench can only use 3 of the 6 cores.
You might therefore think that it functions as a 3-core but reviews from many AMD users with processors faster than mine seem to indicate its performance is more like that of a 6-core, some from users of an AMD Phenom II x6 who found it an upgrade.
For non-gamers a PC with an fx-6300 uses 145 watts at load, 73 when idle, on an average motherboard. So about 75 max. It’s at 44W idle on a low-energy motherboard & graphics card.
The Phenom and fx processors all have level 3 cache which helps in file compression (my processor doesn’t have any and has half the level 2 cache of the fx).
People with an am3 motherboard might be able to use the am3+ fx processors with a BIOS upgrade.
Most of the fx-6300 processors seem reliable but a higher proportion than expected are not. Intel users have written of their processors dying.
If you’re not happy with the fan try a Cooler Master 4-copper-heat-pipe cooler for Ā£20/$27/22 euro, the masterair pro 3 or tx3. Much better than a normal fan & heatsink. See youtube for installation help.
DDR3-1866 for the fx-6300 is costly now. You can get Ā£22/$28 8gb ddr3-1333 on ebay which you could overclock (see YouTube). Should take 2-3 weeks to arrive.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8GB-PC-Memory-Module-RAM-DDR3-PC3-10600-1333MHz-DIMM-Desktop-For-AMD-System-SE-/122299885982
The fx processors can’t use DDR3-1866 in dual channel so you might as well get ddr3-1333.
Ebay has bargain fx/Phenom processors. It’s where I get mine.
It’s possible that a processor comes with bent pins. These can be straightened.
In January 2012, Microsoft released two hotfixes (2646060 and 2645594) for Windows 7.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_FX_microprocessors
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Phenom_microprocessors
(use an am3+ motherboard for fx and Phenom)
You can also use the 3.8ghz fx-4300 which can easily be overclocked to 4.6 ghz. If you don’t need to do any 1080p video encoding & gaming this should last a very long time. Uses 10W less than an fx-6300. Impressed users, one of whom said it can be used for 4k video encoding:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113287
This video shows that the fx6300 can play Assassins Creed Syndicate at 1080p very well and no core gets near 100% which is often the case when gaming unlike an Intel i3/i5

(Also no problems playing BF1 & 4 multiplayer, Rust, CSGO, Arma3. Quote: āIn Planetside 2, it mostly stays over 25 in really crowded areas.ā People are suggesting the optimum cards for it are the gtx 1050ti/1060/amd rx 470/480. I’d also recommend the fx-8300, 8320 or 8350 for gamers as this helps deal with operating system size increases over many years. Pay attention to energy use with a killowatt meter so you don’t overheat. Also use the best thermal paste, the Arctic mx4.)
(DirectX 11 is derived from DX9 of 2004 & uses only 1 or 2 cores. Future games will use DirectX 12 or Vulkan which spreads the load over all the cores. This technology was based on the Mantle API created by AMD after their FX processors were made. With the correct API games would have made full use of 6- & 8-core processors & run faster. Intel showed no performance increase in DirectX 12 and Microsoft had no multi-core API developed at the time of DX11.
As the new Xbox uses AMD processors games will be optimized better for AMD in future.)

āalmost perform good as my i7 rigā

āI have (i7) 2700K rig as well as PII 980 rig. I upgraded PII 980 with FX-6300 recently. Side-by-side comparison indicates that once you overclock FX-6300 to 4.5 ghz (real easy), it is pretty much impossible to tell any difference from my 2700K rig. FX-6300 at 4.5 ghz is just as fast and snappy as stock 2700K for certain at basically half the price.ā
wash your hands š
Elaboration:
Cheap out on power supplies *TO AN EXTENT*. It is more cost efficient now more than ever to go with a reliable 80+ bronze or 80+ regular power supply. Especially cheap reliable ones from EVGA, Seasonic, etc. But of course you shouldn’t buy that one suspicious "too good to be true" plain looking power supply with bad ratings that is very cheap.
That’s what I meant in the video by *TO AN EXTENT*, you of course have to bring your own product judgement into play.
When u only need to get the psu and case but have Ā£18 left šš
Im on $400 š£
I disagree because if you get a cheap case itās gonna be hard for cable management and some cheap cases donāt use Atx motherboard.
Where would you recommend buying used?
no rgb
this guy look like a cool austin evans
So……..what’s the deal with the inside of your hands?!? Looks like there’s stained s*** all over them. Tip: looking dirty and not washing your hands when recording a video is usually a thumbs down bro. Just a thought…

What happened to your hands?
Iām 13 and saving for a pc for csgo
I’ve checked all of your tips, figured them out my self, I don’t plan using a stock cooler since I’m using a used cpu that doesn’t come with it, and the price of the water-cooling AIO is as cheap as any other normal 3rd party cooler, what more can I cheap out on?
Save money? Good luck with that, goddamn gpu prices
0:19 what’s up with your hand?
Best pc u tuber
I have a few additional tips you could add to a top 10 video later on. 1. You can cheap out on a motherboard if you don’t plan to overclock. I own a B150M mobo and I have no intentions to upgrade it. Even has multiple fan headers. 2. You can also cheap out on a HDD going with 320GB just so you’ll be able to play games. They go as low as $20 and you can always get you a $40 1TB in the future. 3. Cheap out on the monitor. $80-$100 can get you a very nice 1080p 60Hz monitor. I gamed on one for a year and a half without issues.
dont risk it, save up if your gonna spend money on a pc part, make it worth it, never go used.
