  1. did the $1,000+ build and im saying this thing is a beast. first time pc build but the Noctua fan is seriously a gem, keeping my cpu at a cool 58 degrees C to 74 degrees C in max game mode. thanks guys!

  2. Im thinking about building a pc but am really scared im going to mess it up if i use this setup is there any guides on how to assemble it for the 2000 dollar price range?

  3. Literally building my first PC in a month got 1500 saved up and can't use AMD due to motherboard being Intel only least I can get that cheap rtx 2060 KO

  4. Got my re 22g for my wives build for $65 love it and worth it. Love the i3 for some stuff I'll take an overclocking CPU any time

  5. i3-9100f. In a build that's worth 500$. even though the holiday's over, here's my suggestion.

    I know that some items come cheaper with a rebate, but let's just say that we got 20$ off thanks to the "holiday sales".
    Unfortunately, I couldn't fit the 5 2600 – it would come a bit more expensive than our max price set by the rules (±5% of the original budget, with the 5 2600 it was 530 USD), and the SSD has less capacity, but the CPU is way more powerful, which grants us some room in the VGA upgrade deparment. That, in my opinion, is worth the payoff. Speaking about the SSD's capacity, you can always throw in a HDD if you need to.
    UPD: the RX 580 can be replaced with the 1650 Super with no significant loss in performance. Some games tend to utilize AMD's cards better, some – Nvidia's.

  6. $1000 for a mid range gaming pc????what has happened to pc gaming?the new consoles are going to be doing 4k/60fps for half that cost.

    way to convince me to be a console gamer.

  7. I came here because someone told me buying a pc is stupid and that I need to build my own, but I have no idea what any of the words you were saying mean…

  9. I watched this video for the first time a month ago, and then built the $300 PC. I'm so happy with it, and I'll put a graphics card in it soon and be set. Freaking, thanks Linus.

  10. I have a GTX 1050ti graphic card. With 450$ left on my budget. I want to play, mortal Kombat11, league of legends, apex legends
