It’s a great looking pc for sure. We were so close on parts!
Great build Danny! May the best win!
I really hope you keep making these challenges cause god they are my favorite to watch and it would be interesting if yall did a USED only one and BRAND new parts only challenge that would be so sick and interesting to watch hopefully you can find more yters to make one with
Appreciate your perspective on that case...had my sights set on it.
I'd have opted for the Thermalright Assassin X 120 SE Cooler for roughly the same price, and the Bitfenix Nova Mesh with 3x ARGB fans preinstalled that actually work.
You nailed the looks, good gpu, decent cpu, good cooling....can't find any real flaws here. Nice job Danny!
I'm so glad you went with the i3 10100f in this build. I think the i5 is a fantastic chip from that generation, but the i3 is more than capable, especially for the price.
I'd say the 12100f would be a better choice given how cheap it is right now.
Should have gone for an AM4 platform, that would give an upgrade path all the way to a 5800X3D. That H410M won't even support Intel 11th gen
In LOVE with the parts you have used
Aesthetic is definitely a solid 8/10 Imo.
I have to agree with you it’s a god looking rig
I got the non xt variation of this exact card. The core usually stays nicely cool, but the memory chips cooling is inadequate for sure. Definitely need new thermal pads as mine are leaking. Memory overclocking works great. Just wish memory had better cooling to hold higher clocks.
I've built in that case recently. I put the stock 3 fans on the bottom as intake and bought 3 thermalright fans for the sides. Also used a 240mm aio on top. The stock fans are cheap and loud which is a downside. Case looks really nice though for the price!
Great looking PC dude! Great deskmat shot too :))))
🤔Chris your Logo got so much airtime I thought you sponsored the video 😂
Fantastic work Sir! 5700XT's are still pretty solid, love to see it :D
I have to say that this is a really good PC with alot of performance for the price, and it looks good too. A great starting point for someone looking to get into PC gaming
Classic budget build! The used GPU market is booming! I wish we had some more options in the low-end CPU/motherboard market though, especially from AMD.
Awesome video Danny!
Good luck, awesome build.
Awesome job. Your pc looks amazing. I really wouldn't change nothing on yours
Do you optimize the pc to get those results. If so do you mind making a video about optimizing your pc for gaming?
any chance you could make a build using the thermalright-c12c and peerless assassin? Great vid btw!
hey love your vids can you do a budget/affordable 3070 ti build(used parts) ?
G'day Danny,
Nice build for $400, it will be interesting to see the comparison for looks & performance to the others.
Is the "Battle To The Death" going to be the NOAB LiveStream this week ??? 🤔& if so what time will it start on Thursday (USA West) so I can work out when it starts here in real time on Friday.
It looks good but there is no intake air at all. All three fans are exhausting. But it runs cool. I recommend flip two side fans you can lower at least 2~3 degree.
I JUST built a $420 pc. I used an i5 8500 over this exact cpu because its the same price used but beats the i3 10th gen. got an rtx 2060 for $140 so that help[ed too. Wish I grabbed this case though!! Nice build man!!
I've been wanting to build in that case....it looks great....not a fan of the lame molex situation but I might just replace the fans with some better ones
Im saving up atm for a similar build but using the rx 5600 xt and the ionz dual chamber case (basically the same as this case but has better fans and is available in the UK) for like £350
In the UK we have the IONZ version of that case. £56 delivered, comes with some descent fans, with proper lighting control and no molex! Not sure what happened in the US with those... Cheap fan kit will rectify it though 😎
56gbp = ~72 usd
Nice job dude. Hope you win
I"m kind of surprised at the low temps of the 5700XT, especially with that case fan setup. I wish you had put in how much power the card was drawing in the benchmarks though.
The 5700 xt only draws ~220W maxed out on Furmark and less in games. The cooling on his version is quite a lot better then the reference design.
idk if you will respond since this video is kinda old but i liked watching it lol, i also live in washington and was wondering if you know of anywhere in state thats actually good for getting parts or if i should just do it all online?
I love the 5700xt, its seriously underrated for the price, i got mine for 130$ on ebay after taxes and it runs awesome
I did similar price pc with Ryzen 5 2600, GTX 1070 8gb, Asus Prime Plus B450, 16gb 3200 ram, 1tb m.2, 700w Aerocool psu & Fractal Design Focus G + 2 140mm rgb fans. Mobo and m.2 were only new parts in my build. Goal was to make it ryzen 5000-series compatible for future. That case is awesome! I want one!
good ram set i have that my self and it runs my games nicely
5700xt has easily become the best budget card on the used market. Got mine a few months ago for $100 and its been killing it on my 1440p ultrawide
How did you get it for $100?
@@3D-6 Sometimes you can find some decent deals on the used market
In your section for parts you recommend would you be able to pair Ryzen 5 5500 or rx 6600 with any of those options maybe even the $700 or $500 options? Because I know some motherboards don’t work with certain parts. Hopefully all the other parts go together too
could be a good dual pc option OR would you use a mini pc like the intel nuc maybe other brands?
Nice build
I built in that case and those Molex Fans actually shorted out and started smoking and almost started on fire in the case. I replaced the fans immediately and used ThermalRight fans to match the CPU Cooler I was using.
anddd I will no longer be buying this pc case
Im about to do a $400 pc build of my own but it is also going to be a Destiny 2 theme build!
Interesting, I’ve gotten Patriot Viper to run at 4000MHz on my H570/i3-10100F setup (CL 20 1.35V).
That "jigsaw" voice mystery package has Jason Witmer written all over it ...... oh, wait a minute it didn't ask you to take your shirt off LoL ;)
Since when having "negative " pressure in the case is a bad thing? I remember since the 90s it being good as it helps a lot with dust.
Good build
i got a wd 1tb black sn770 nvme m.2 for £40 might be worth the extra 20 over 2.5" would need a mobo that supports m.2 nvme tho
I would have gone with a new ryzen 4500 as it would come with a cooler for $70 and then used or new motherboard for $50-70 and sacrifice that case for any $40-50 to hit the 400 price point. You trade looks for performance as a 4500 is better than an i3. It also has a very good upgrade path incase with decent performance uplift with 5800x3d, when it's cheaper.
Where is the list of parts used?
Wanted to find a case name😢
Nice build. I know he was on a strict budget.. but Intel Core i5-10400F are $99 at Newegg U.S and come with a stock cooler, So.. 🤔
This build is amazing
Love the build :D
i build a 440$ PC for a freinds kid: R 3600/gtx 1080/B550/16gb 3200/Be Quiet 450w (Systempower 10)/2x 240gb sata ssd's (mine used)/ corsair 220t airflow (used/no fans) 120mm rgb cooler + 3x 120mm (my used fans)
Build in Denmark and mix of new and used.
You could get one of those universal io shields people are selling online. They are dirt cheap, and they look better than having nothing 🤷♂️. Since they are 3d printed mostly, you could have get a white one.
Beside that, you did a good video, showing people they can have gaming pc for 400$. Thank you
I have the diypc case in the video and when you are standing on metal and touch the screws holding on the glass it shocks you
With the same money you could go with Ryzen 5 3600 and a320 and run the Rams at their 3200 speed Plus you can enable S.A.M and Gain decent more fps in some games it could reach 20% more fps
I've built 2 pcs in the last 2 years for under 400 bucks and all with brand new parts excluding the graphics card since I don't game much. All of my parts I bought at Micro Center and one system has the ryzen 3 3200g and I believe the other is a ryzen 5 5600g. One mb is a asrock b450m and the other is a Asus b450m and both boards were about 80 bucks and for the 3200g I spent 80 bucks and the 5600g I spent 119 bucks and it was normally 250 bucks. The under 400 bucks for the first pc was including the case, psu and memory and an ssd hdd granted it was a 250 gig ssd but I also have a 1tb hdd as a backup.
I got the same pc with everything in the video but I got rx6600 used for $100 bucks, I recommend looking for that card used
That's a crazy good price! Which platform did you find it on? I'd guess it was local offerup or facebook marketplace because that's where all the gems usually are!
daaaaaaaamn cgc mouse mat looking good pc also looking good
Can the stock fans be replaced entirely?
Should have went with the Rosewill Prism s500 case from Newegg, same price but much better. I built a 'mostly new' system about a week ago with a budget of $300, of course I went over by $100 because I wanted a 2tb nvme and a 240mm aRGB aio. Used components were the Haswell EP Xeon and 4x8gb ddr4. Bang-for-buck, it'd be hard to beat the performance of my system, along with overall aesthetics.
2tb nvme and a 240 aRGB aio for 100 bucks... where?
@@bafon Silicon Power 2tb NVME cost $60, Thermalright Frozen Prism240 was $50 both found on Amazon for the price. I had allotted myself $40 for these, so technically $70 over budget.
damn how I wish 5700xt's are that affordable here where I live.
Crazy for something that cost so less.
I have recently build my Main Coding setup as a Mini-ITX build in a Cougar QBX.
with:
i5-13500,
2x 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz CL16
AsRock B760M-ITX WIFI
Some BeQuiet PSU with 500W semi modular and max. 14cm long.
a 2TB M.2 WD Blue from previous rig.
a 4TB SSHD from WD from previous rig
a 2TB SanDisk Sata SSD from previous rig
in total for 640€
and next weekend it will get a GTX 1060 6GB for 60€ used so I can game sometimes Crusader Kings 3 on my 4K 40 inch Monitor.
Unfortunately no Intel XTU support so I have a BIOS lock of 95W PL1 and 96W PL2 (So the stock cooler doesn't die on me gets still 17600-18000 points in CB23)
Have you tried running unreal 5 on it?
Silicone Power = WIN!
I actually Really like that Brand for their SSD's & Laptop Ram. If i didnt get such a good deal on Corsair ram, i'd probably have Silicone Power DDR4 sticks in my rig. 😎
That no io shield is really a bummer
how would you go about upgrading and getting a gpu on a ryzen 5 5600G set up, can i upgrade a and get a gpu and keep the processor, what gpus work with the processor?
Depends on your budget really
@@simplyinfinity6606 100-200
G'day, any GPU will work with Ryzen APUs, instead of the PC using the IGP it will automatically use the GPU when one is plugged in to the long PCIe X16 slot with the lock tab below the CPU on the Motherboard (like Danny did here at 9:50 during the build process) & PCIe Power if needed,
Something to look for first is does your PSU (Power Supply Unit) have PCIe 6/8pin PCIE Power cables? if not you either need a GPU without PCIe power like a GTX1650 or upgrade the PSU too.
Then when the GPU is installed instead of the Motherboard I/O you plug the Monitor into the GPU I/O & when you get into windows install the appropriate GPU Drivers from AMD, nVIDIA or intel required by the GPU.
If your PSU has 6/8pin PCIe Power cable for $100-$200 (guessing USD) you could just squeeze in a AMD RX6600 which will mate very well with the 5600G as the CPU.
@@TexzzyFYI as the other guy said, in case you're using a pre built or something that doesn't have 6/8 pin connectors you'll probably need to change the PSU. If your PSU is good enough to support a decent GPU then an rx 6600 can be found for close to $200. But if your budget doesn't allow that the rx 5700xt like the one in the video is also a great choice provided your PSU is powerful enough.
Soon as you said parts missing, I was like "I/O shield. I would be so pissed" but for $50, it's harder to complain. Honestly I'm more upset about the EVGA Bronze PSU; I've only had two PSUs die on me in my life, and wouldn't you know...!
That's why I disabled RGB on my system...don't need my pc to be an xmas tree. Though my pc is mid to high end...and has a proper rgb controller, just don't need all the fancy colors. Good lesson too, if you go too low budget you miss out on some 'essential' features. In the future I'm going with mini-pc's for family....but I might buy one more expensive pc for any hard productivity work, but I absolutely loathe these big boxes, even my 'mini-itx' is too big for my liking...I waited 20 yrs for them to shrink down and now they have and are powerful enough for daily use.
Why does his case have a different controller and connectors than mine
you can just 3d print an io shield tho :D
10100f definitely does run 3200mt/s memory. The h410/h510/b460 chipset won't allow it. I think it starts with b560, and of course z boards.
I commented that I’ve got mine to run 4000MHz with an H570.
for $50 you could(with a bit of patience) get a R5 3600 and for about $50-70 a decent B450 or Even B550
Great build, there is a typo though in the build summary part, it says i5 10100f instead of i3 10100f
Dang good catch!
Good build, I made a similar pc recently for $409 (after tax and shipping), but I lucked out heavily on some of the parts:
$130 (Local) RX 5700 XT MSI Gaming X
$40 (Local) MSI Gaming Plus Max X470 Motherboard (I bought the gpu and motherboard from the same person, no I/O Shield)
$65 (Local) Ryzen 5 3600 w stock cooler
$30 (Used Online) 16GB RipJaws V DDR4-3600CL16
$65 (Brand New Amazon) CoolerMaster V550 White Gold Fully Modular PSU
$59 (Brand New Newegg) Azza Spectra 280B ATX Mid Tower Case
$20 (Used Online) Silicon Power 512GB NVMe SSD
I'm going to upgrade to a 5600x for $100, (hopefully should only cost $35 more after selling my 3600) should be a great turbo budget build.
What's the performance like, and what settings do you use?
@@thelandonian5767 i sold this build and now have a 13600kf + 3080 build
but the 5700 xt is a great gpu, even now, and the 5600x is great as well
you should be able to play a lot of games at high 1080p or 1440p medium/mixed/optimized settings
i recently built an h610m build for my sister, it has a i3-12100 and a rtx 2060 super for $330, i would shoot for a newer platform in order to handle upgrades in the future, although h610 vrms may not be able to handle higher tdp cpus like i7/i9, so stick to i3/i5
Reason why the fans were set that way is because the bottom of the case is made for intake for air.
Solid build, but you can get solid nvme's for $20-30
3d print a motherboard plate Nerd just a idea
Its a i5 10400F and i3 10100F men
Wait, you said i3 but in the list you have an i5?
Insane unboxing in 2023
case would be better if its a Thermaltake Versa H17 case its cheaper and better
The case could have been a Phanteks G300A for about the same price.
It’s a sin that no one is talking about getting a ryzen 5 5500 at micro center with their 25$ coupon to make it a 55$ processor with a built in cooler that they can also pair with a basic 60$ mobo for 20$ off for a total of 95$
I would have totally done that if I had one in my area 😭
@@nerdonabudget awh damn, the only good thing about where I live is that it is close to a microcenter.
I am disappointed by the RGB controller in this thing. Part of what makes cases at this price point good for budget flippers is how good the rgb control is without motherboard support. I know DIYPC can make a good rgb controller (I've used the Shadow-H3-ARGB), so I'm not sure how they screwed that up here. If they can't be bothered to put a good controller in here, they might as well ditch the fans completely so I can buy a set of TL-C12C-S fans or something.
I got a i7 8700k and an Asus Hero Maximus XI for $200.
Too bad that cpu Killin that awesome gpu
no bro , the cpu does support more than 2666
its just the board.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I bet the "3rd party" is ZTT 👀
Bro this PC is barely better than mine from 2020 which costs 1.2k 💀💀
I couldn't bring myself to buy a PC or motherboard without an IO shield. Makes your whole build look terrible and gets worst as dust build up in that area.
i5 10100f lol
Used = No warranty. I pass on those.

First
your accent threw me, I had to listen to it like 4 or 5 times and then I finally realized you were saying 'content creators', but I swear it sounded like 'tech concentraters', oh man... I got to go to sleep
There is a bigger channel called Tech Deals 😂. They recommended a $2000 4070 non TI build 😂😂
