It runs to complete potatoes. If you're running your build at 60 fps these days it's not a "good" build in any sense of the word. It's not even a "medium" build. Its a low to base build. The difference between 60 fps and 144-360 FPS is mind boggling once you actually see it. I would never recommend this build for somebody to play "4k" on.

oops my bad

that case looks awesome, ingenious design to maximize airflow while appearing to have a front lol

FYI - a lot of mid to higher-end cases will have that middle 'locating' standoff, I've found. Personally, I believe another part of 'futureproofing' your rig is to spend a little more on a nicer case at the outset... my reasoning being that the PSU and the case are the two biggest PITA components to replace or swap... in my view, it's better to save some aggravation later by spending a little more up front. I know cheap cases are enticing and might make a budget go farther, but they are awful to build in, and even worse to do the reverse... having recently moved my kids' system out of a Bitfenix Prodigy case into a Corsair 4000D Airflow, I spent more time trying to undo all the wiring than I did putting everything into the new case!

Definitely a good move removing that hard drive cage. I have a 550 G3 in my P300 and even that left little room for tucking away cables behind the mechanical drives

I got the same case, glad to hear it wasn't a bad purchase.

Have been watching LTT since the launch of 10th gen intel, recently started my first PC build and chose mostly similar parts even without copying any part list Guess it really helps by learning all the bits and pieces of PC building, it's real fun (OK I got an FSP 650W Bronze PSU but my next upgrade may need 12VHPWR so it's somehow a placeholder lol

2:30 "sticking pins into a baby" ~ Linus, father of 3

Note for if you plan to emulate this build! I've got this case with a psu that does fit the HD cage, it will be a tight tight fit for only 1 HD with all the cable management in the bottom bay and that the bottom does not get airflow; so mind the heat impact on your hardware down there.

realistic solutions and realistic budgets por realistic situations, thats why i love you all LMG team ❣

I just built pretty much identical build (slightly different i5, slightly worse 3060 from my old rig etc.) and now I'm looking at getting a new case and power supply for it since my old case just doesn't support enough case fans to keep it cool. Certainly putting a mesh front panel into the list of 'desired features'.

I built my first pc in 2008, but for some reason I still enjoy watching videos like these, where Linus runs through the basics of pc building, specially now that gpu prices are going down.

Well gotta appreciate the clean 1000$ pc built even in 2022,Nice work Linus!

9:35 the way she hits and shakes the GPU and whole build just makes my heart drop, ESPECIALY SINCE IT'S LINUS, THE DROPPING THINGS GUY. IT'S HIS WHOLE THING!

Awesome! I upgraded from an i5-2500k in March to an i7-12700k earlier this year.

I've already got the case, some fans, an SSD... decent PSU... but can't get the rest until after finishing my studies in 2024. Let's hope the budget PC market gets better rather than worse, nice to see a build this attainable on LTT.

Hey, budget setups are always cool and all, but you guys should try revisiting a power efficient setup, I think those are really interesting. Maybe how efficient you can get a good performance PC by undervolting it. One thing I couldn't help notice about my PC was that it was a massive space heater, in addition to the hidden costs of running it via power consumption and even blasting the AC, I've been really considering getting a Macbook, so I would love to see alternatives to my problems on the Windows side of things

GPU prices have yet to change here for me, they still cost so much (and have been used for well over 9 months of constant mining, lowest one I found at least)

@@yashowardhanchaudhary5532 my point was that not only is it above msrp (about 1300$) but it’s also been used for a long time for constant mining, the seller said that they’ve changed out the thermal pads and overclocked it (not that it would have warranty anyways since it’s used) but if anything were to happen with it then they wouldn’t be responsible, which is something I’d rather not risk especially not at that steep of a price (talking about a 3080 btw)

4:14 In September 2020 I paid $75 for G.Skill's 32GB 3600 CL16 version of this DDR4 kit (F4-3600C16D-32GVKC). Right now as I type this, that same kit is $135 on Newegg and $146 on Amazon. Don't get ripped off paying for RAM. DDR5 price/performance is so bad that they decided to inflate the cost of DDR4 ahead of time so DDR5 looked like a reasonable price upon launch. This wouldn't be the first... or second.. or third time DRAM manufacturers have been guilty of price fixing.

Loving the budget builds. For real

Pro tip: if your cpu cable is long enough, plug the routed cable in first, then put the motherboard in the case.

Nice and hopeful build 😁 But couldn't you get at least one good case fan for 1000 bucks to optimize the airflow and temps a little more? That hurts a tiny bit 😅

ssd diskspace in relations to hdd if we talk real estate in your pc just aren't cost efficient. 4tb ssd cost like 300 € here and if you just get a hybrid hdd for half the price you won't feel the difference for gaming. unless it's load intensive but i would always run 1tb m2 with a bit of cache and 4tb hdd hybrid to load games faster over time.

I've checked prices here in EU, and even with second hand stuff it still going to be (at least for me) around 1300-1500$. I mean, it's not tragic, but still quite expensive.

Building my 2nd pc, this was a lot of help ty 💗

This is basically my build that I completed 3 months ago but all parts are new and I have a 2tb nvme m.2 SSD, water cooler and 5 more fans with RGB. It runs everything I play at max setting well above 60 fps.

I recently upgraded to an 850w psu myself recently and i gotta say that needing 850w just to be safe is insane these days. I remember when people said anything more than 650w was overkill. With that said, I'd much rather go for a 6800 XT or a 6900 XT for this build. Both are around the same price as a 3070 but are significantly faster in most games.

yeah, you can *build* a computer that supports 4k output at a reasonable framerate. but a 4k monitor would be an additional 400-1000 cost. similarly, if you are going 4k, you probably wouldn't put together a machine like this & cobble up more premium components.

@@SasquatchComposites Whether 4K is worth it mostly depends on the size of the monitor and how far away from it you sit. If you're using a 42" inch monitor like I used to, the difference between 4K and 1440p should definitely be noticeable. But it can also depend on how sensitive you are to picking up details on a monitor, because with my current 28" monitor I still strongly prefer using 4K. Generally the ideal PPI (pixels per inch) is at least a little over 100, and a 27" 1440p monitor would achieve that.

Something I'm curious about the screwdriver, have you done testing with screwing into into treated lumber without a pilot hole and not just machine threaded screws? I'm concerned those small bits will bend/twist in an application requiring self-tapping screws etc. Also, see about sending your screw driver over to the in KZreadrs who do tool reviews like "Project Farm" or "AvE" (He hasn't done much reviews recently though but still awesome channel).

Linus should mention that patience is key with that RTX 3070 Ti. I know plenty of people wanna build their 1k 4k PC right away but if the graphic card isn't on sale at a reasonable price, you should just wait a little and keep a eye on the markt.
