Even 300s too expensive
depends on who you ask, for me I build a pc for myself every 5 years or so and spend about $2500-3000. Spending more than 3k is out of question for me but I will spend up to that.
Yup even 300 is too much for a teen like me
@@timothinev9444 I think the main thing is just buying everything at once. I spent almost 6 months between buying the first and last component of my 1.0 build but didn't change anything for over 3 years after that.
First build for me, went for the glow-up budget. Same case, but was lucky enough to go for a Ryzen 7 5800X and a Gigabyte RTX 3070 Vision OC. Not going for a purely gaming rig, also planning on using it for Blender, Zbrush and other modeling software. Jumping from a 5 year old PS4 to an insane PC is the best choice I’ve made in a while.
Please do a updated version of this! We need it.
"Budgets? What are those?" might be my favorite Riley quote of all time!
Nothing special

20 fps counter strike source, ultra low setting
*On a deathmatch map, on dust 2 I get 9 fps
I had long trouble fixing very minor details for best settings in Rise of the Tomb Raider and I would like to see how the game would run in Overkill.
I actually use that same monitor from the mid-ranger for my 2nd monitor! It's nice and the 1080p 22" frame is the perfect step down from my main 1440p 27" main monitor so having 2 monitors at different resolutions doesn't feel clunky.

It seriously depends on the OEM for that PSU. Sadly it's usually impossible to find out the PSU OEM before you buy.

Linus got his revenge by mooning all of his viewers at the end. AGAIN.
Honestly it's not THAT bad, cheap PSUs work like this:
Rig requires 280w at full load? Get a cheap 600w and so on.
I run a shitty Corsair VS650 (the old model), it's not the worst but it's a meh PSU, it still runs well after 5 years on a 490w overclocked system.
Worked out a dream build on Overclockers, including peripherals it came to about £20k with no watercooling. Could've gone higher probably but some stock was limited. Will never get to build it but it's fun to do.

just upgraded my rx 580 and r3 3200g to my rtx 2060 and r5 3600 and its the biggest recommendation. if you can look properly you will only be paying a few more for almost double performance. (also upgraded from 8gb to 8x2gb and its a lot faster as well with dual channeling)

Even though this is a couple years old now I feel better about my current rig. I built it as an upgrade from my I5 about a year ago and it outclasses the "Gentleman" on pretty much everything and just behind the "Glow-Up" mostly... Rizen 5 3600, 1tb nvme m.2 (PCIEx4) for everything that runs, 1tb HDD for storage, 32gb ram (2x16gb), rtx 1650 super (4gb) all attached to a b550 tomahawk. Cost me about $1500 Canadian. Still can't crank everything in some games but I'm willing to sacrifice on shadows.
At this point though I think it would be classed at about the "Midrange"... probably.
You might not need 32gb RAM for gaming,
but ya definitely need it for chroming.
I was doing fine with 8GB, but I have recently upgraded now that the prices have fallen a lot.
No not enough at least 2tb its the max on windows pro some reason
I decided to max out my rig at 32 GB. I can never go back to less. I have 1431 tabs open in Firefox and my computer still runs like a charm.
@@PurpleYoshiEgg u need some addons to take care of ur tabs
Ltdonny, you need to create a bot the closes those tabs for you. That’s just too much clicking.

you're welcome internet people
u re the best
im sad now because "the over kill" looked soo back on my $700 pc because I have a $20 screen
Thanks fam 👍
They made a mistake in the Gentlemans parts list. The VG278Q is Freesync, not GSync.
you could hav listed the specs
So nice that the prices have gone down for most compenents now. for the price of the athlete i ended up getting:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (Using the stock wraith cooler) 109$ CAD
GPU: GTX 1660 Super 150$ CAD
RAM: 4x4gb DDR4 3200 40$ CAD
MOBO: ASrock b550m Pro 4 130$ CAD
and the PSU and HDD i got came with a case i bought used which totaled around 200$ (600w Psu, 1Tb Hdd and a Basic Corsair prebuilt case that had 3 fans)
The overkill is absolutely insane my friend got a 3070 a ryzen 9 5900x 4.5Tb of data 16gigs of ram. For 1/3 the price
Remember when the top of line GPU was like $500. I member
Sure. And also don't forget inflation. $500 in 2005 money is $670 now.
@@kaldo8907 Ahh, the GTX 580 came out late 2011 with a launch price of $499. Either way, I would love to buy a GTX 2080 Ti for $670 though.
Going back even further, I think I paid $150 for a Voodoo card back when those came out.

going back further one would decide whether to buy a decent PC or a car...

Crazy how fast technology changes in 2 years. Minus the dual graphics card absurdity, I’m gaming on high settings at 1440p for about $1800 all in. Somewhat comparable experience to this $7k build. Found some good deals on pc parts and a monitor. Landed a 3060ti from MSI at msrp for $659. More than I wanted to spend but the gpu apocalypse squeezed me for an extra $250 or so. I wonder what the price to performance build will look like two years from now
At a similar roughly $1000 USD mark, It at least briefly included the likes of a Ryzen 5 5600, B550 mobo, 2x16GB DDR4 3600 CL18, an RX 6800XT, a 1TB NVMe SSD, a 650W 80PLUS Bronze(or better)PSU, and a decent case with some fans and a tempered glass side panel. However, memory prices have crept back up some(affecting SSDs and Ram mostly) making a similar build more difficult(if not impossible) to do without increasing the budget to some extent.
Great video guys!
- the commercials
In Australia the price of the “gentlemen” will get you the specs of the “athlete” lol
Oh man, let's hope the economy gets better
I am spending 3 k on a pc before I turn 15 is it worth it or do I get some mid range pc
@@user-zu5ym4uk7z Unless u are doing professional work, probably not. Even if u are, there are still better value with a ryzen 7 and like a 2070 super.
here you get athlete for the price of El Cheapo if not lower
@@Menezeris3029 yo that's a 10/10 economy
All right guys:
The midranger
OR
The apple stand
Which do you guys choose?
Apple stand all the way
obviously the apple stand
Apple stand hands down.
Tough choice.
The midranger- oh who am I kidding?
Man, you should have swapped the monitors for "Prism+" ones they are way cheaper and yet still performs exceptionally well
It's still crazy to me how quickly tech prices change. I have something similar spec to "The Mid-Ranger" and I bought it just 2 years after this video came out but I only paid half of what they paid. It's still serving me just fine to this day and I'm quite happy with it.
The next to highest priced build should have been called the “Its my first build” in honor of the PCMR Subreddit.
It's funny because it's true
"It's not much bit it's mine."
@@strikereureka5081 actual first build:
Ryzen 2200G
Vega 8
8gb of ram
"We are on sort of a budget"
My first build was a prebuilt with an i5 2500k and gt520. Over the years I upgraded the gpu twice and maybe finally this year I'll upgrade the cpu.
I love seeing Linus losing 5:0 to bots in Rocket League.
as a champ 2 i enjoy watching him play lol
I love seeing single channel memory on an AMD apu.
@@SHUTENSEPC wow i didn't even see that. Awful choice indeed.
yea what a nerd!
*I noticed Linus did NOT mention cost of windows 10 in any of the build . Is he using PIRATED windows 10* ? 😜🤣
Went with the athlete but with 9th gen i5 9600k, heard it over clocks well
id love to see another version of this for late 2023/2024
