Nice build😎 and very cute cat you have. ❤️

[@BrantleyHunterNEW]

nah thats crazy clean and performs good for $300

[@Hazziectm]

Good content 👍

[@sk8420_]

Nah for 300 you could go for am4 which is one of the best platforms and so i would suggest that instead of lga1155 since that platform is very outdated

[@ZombieDontMiss]

Thanks for the advice, coming soon 🔜

[@Nohan04201]

I would recommend a 4th gen cpu or am4 1st or 2nd ryzen 5

[@Hesiknife]

if youre lokking for a game your low end pcs can run smooth combat master would be the best choice

[@mikail8474]

Please show more game footage with fps showing

[@Dark_Wsm]

[@ZombieDontMiss]

Thank you! I like the way it turned out

[@gcmanuel85x]

How many fps on the cat then ?

[@content95]

Hey sir, do you watch ZTT?

[@ZombieDontMiss]

I love ZTT, him and ToastyBros are some of my favorite Budget PC builders on CZcams

[@Leonardo-gp3jn]

Crazy if you put in bad graphics in Fortnite can you the run it smoothly in a public round?

[@ZombieDontMiss]

Yeah It’s super smooth. Fortnite is so easy to run, most people prefer performance settings anyway, especially people playing competitively

[@nitroplays7246]

I'm not seeing the power supply In the description unless I'm just blind

[@ZombieDontMiss]

It’s the one that says 500W PSU :)

[@nitroplays7246]

@@ZombieDontMiss oh so I am blind

[@Nz2Cllx]

I swear if that build got valorant 280 idek man, my rtx2080 + i7 6950 gets like 300 fps

[@ZombieDontMiss]

Damn bro wtf?

[@gamingwolf7895]

[@someguywithmtndew5691]

ngl $300 for i5 3rd gen isn't that good, fortnite does not like 4 threads anymore

[@ZombieDontMiss]

Yeah but on the bright side most people run performance settings and you can get well over 100fps

[@rustiscoolfr]

for 300 dollars i'd say thats a good deal

[@ZombieDontMiss]

Thanks! I think so too
