Cheapest Amazon "Gaming" Pre-Built PC versus Custom-Built PC (2020) 

Woah! You're a Canadian too

wait what i got the same mobo and cpu and didn't do a bios update, so that's weird

@Yernyx Ig you need a ryzen 2000 cpu to do the bios upgrade.

I would just get a £30 optiplex off ebay, stick an extra 4gb of ram in there, upgrade from i3 2120 to i5 2400 and put in an rx 460. amazing performance for like £100 Corrected "upgrade to i3 2120" to "upgrade from i3 2120 to i5 2400"

Weird question, but are you from South Africa by any chance? Your accent sounds South African and your name is pretty common in South Africa.

HDD

@@modernth3896 ssd's are way faster thna hdd

SSD-> No moving parts. HDD-> Spinning disk, can't handle external shocks (sudden movement)

SSD is better, but I honestly would go for SSD as a boot drive and HDD for everything else.

Haha!! Oh for sure.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff thank you for the answer, i love your videos.

I beg to differ, the R3 3200G has 12cores, 4CPU & 8GPU, so it wins

Yeah it is a pretty big drive for the budget. Although it was very used. 😅

It was probably left over junk that was bulk bought.😓

They buy in bulk, 3 TB drives arent sold that much so they made a good price arrangement on it, how it works with all their parts. You'll be amazed that when you take out all the costs of the prebuild, they stil have a 25-30% profit.

Probably a retired surveillance disk!

Yes that's the kind, especially, that I was referring to. When they get to the end of their life they are replaced and get back on their investment by selling them. It would certainly be interesting to run a data scan to see what was on them. Even encrypted, they would reveal where they originated 🤔

That is very true. It is so satisfying. 😁

@StanCanCount YT Aye, I've had a Ryzen 5 2600/B450 board combo waiting on a shelf for months waiting til I had the budget to buy a decent proper PSU to drop in it (Corsair RM850 80+ Gold) - Bit overkill perhaps but eventually want to upgrade the CPU and drop a better GPU in (Mind you that RX570 is gonna last a while!)

@@elliothunter2579 I just build my rig with Ryzen 7 2700X/ ASRock B450 Pro4. Intel 120GB M.2 SSD is crazy fast for booting. Only waiting now for better GPU...

@@itsrandxm same. I bought a pc off Facebook marketplace for £250. I didnt know anything about pcs in 2018 so I just thought oh its 250 must be good. It came with a gt 730 lol. I'm working on a build for £650 right now that would blow my old pc out of this universe.

@@kacperkaminski3620 yea i get at least 3x the fps now (though if you count putting my old pc at ultra then its like 20-30x) the biggest problem was the cpu itself because until then it was basically just a vram upgrade with a new gpu until i upgraded everything and then with a cpu upgrade everything else was already upgraded so i just built a new pc instead of just upgrading.

The power button glows, it’s obviously a high powered gaming pc.

My dad got me and my a brother $700 optiplex for christams 🤦‍♂️ I managed to sell it on ebay for $500, dont know why someone payed that much, then used me and my brothers combined one or two year savings of $300 and got way better pc

I would love to play around with an SLI setup. *immediately fires up craigslist*

@@DawidDoesTechStuff I almost did an SLI build back in my first "custom" PC. "custom" meaning I picked the parts on Cyberpowerpc.com. It was back in early 2011 right when SATA-6 and USB 3.0 hit the scene and they were available on motherboards when I was picking things out, but they were at a more premium price point at the time so I missed out on that for the build, due to my lower budget. I was originally planning to go with a SLI set up of dual NVidia GT 450's. THANKFULLY a friend intervened who knew at least A LITTLE better and advised me to go with a more powerful primary card and a dedicated Physx card at a lower budget price point. So I went with a GTX 560 Ti and an RT 430 (The highest I could afford at that swap out). So I was buckled down a little by no SSD and being on the now previous gen-data transfer rate. But still, it performed ok. I had it up til 2017. It performed great at first, for sure. But over time, the slow down was BRUTAL. I built my own for realsies in 2017 :D Ryzen 1600x, GTX 1070, 16GB 3000 MHZ, ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming K4 Motherboard, 250 GB Western Digital SSD 2.5mm, 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm HD, 550W Rosewill Glacier PSU, DYI-PC-48PBK or something case, 212 Hyper Evo CPU cooler. It was 1230 dollars after all was said and done. It STILL handles Overwatch on 1440p at Ultra settings at 144 FPS steady with 72c temp and about the same for the CPU. I did manage to upgrade to an EVGA GTX 1080 SC model from a Craigslist deal (got it for 350, then turned around and sold my PNY GTX 1070 Overclocked for 325). So only 1 upgrade, but that 1070 was a freakin beast and I bet it'd be almost as good even with that. :D

Just got the Surface Pro 7, was very surprised how well it ran GTA V when I lowered some settings. Great little tablet! Getting around 30FPS, which is def playable

@@arcadeportal32 yeah but it's not using an fx cpu or it's equally crappy Igpu in it so of course it's going to kick arse

Haha!! For sure, I think the question was more "by how much would it win" 😁 Awesome! I will have a look at some retro PC options.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff Do you think that a used custom PC build would outperform both of the pre-built PC and the New custom build PC at the same price point?

@@Russell970 Oh for sure. If you want max performance used is the way to go when you are on a budget.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff oh thanks

Dawid Does Tech Stuff hey whts a better 8gig ram 3000 or 3200mhz

That is a great point. 👍 I ended up listing the Thermaltake H18 instead. I really like those cases.

haha I shoved 6 fans into my q300l, I used anti vibration mounts too so I dont get too much noise. My temps are great and has allowed decent overclocks on my 8600k and 1070ti.

@@Loooooooooooooooool You can brute force most cases into having acceptable thermals with enough fans and a dremel lol

@@Loooooooooooooooool I am also using the q300l with 1070ti and 8600k lol I'm upgrading to AIO coolers for both CPU and GPU though to squeeze a little more performance out

I -murdered- modded my Q500L with aviation shears and added 6 fans. In the end, I think I'd be happy with just 4 140mm fans. That would mean less -murdering- modding.

That's very nice of you to say. Thank you for the nice comment. 😃

@Aditya Bhattacharya Hey! You can definitely do that. Depending on your budget you could also add an RX 570 graphics card instead. This will give you a huge jump in gaming performance.

@Aditya Bhattacharya That is a great combination. 👍

@@DawidDoesTechStuff you're welcome, btw can you make a video regarding Dell Optiplex refurbished PC's?

@@nahpets2345 The toasty bros made quite a few videos about optiplex upgrade builds check them out, but like dawid mentioned there is a hugeeeeee lack of futureproofing so down the line if you ever wanna upgrade then you will need to swap out the cpu,ram,and mobo because almost EVERY single old cheap optiplex is on ddr3 using an ancient socket like lga 1155 but for a solid 2 or 3 years with a good graphics card it will probably hold up really well because as crazy as it sounds these old i5s and 2nd gen i7s hold up amazing in the current generation. So yeah these are most of the pros and cons, you can check out some of toasty bros budget builds while waiting for dawid to hopefully upload something related to this😁😁

You get all the cables you need with the power supply and two sata cable with the motherboard...and the thermal paste is pre applied on the cpu cooler....you dont need to buy them .....

@@kiavashasadi8687 so that’s not always the case. Some cheaper motherboards skip out on SATA cables, and the Hyper 212 EVO (for example) doesn’t come with thermal paste, you need to buy your own.

@@robyca2545 I’m back. And omg time flies and I really don’t like it

thats not good

I just couldn't help myself. 😂

Personally I'm on the fence about the Matrexx 30. I've found that their stamped panels are sometimes off by a significant margin, and the PCI-E slots are poorly aligned with the motherboards slots. Trying to get an HDMI cable to plug into the top slot requires manually crushing or removing the curved stamped metal piece (only the top slot mind), which leaves it looking ugly and unprofessional. There are many positives of the case though, but alignment is the major issue.

you do know that msi made the same looking card for multiple different gpus right? i have an msi armor (the one shown) rx 480. they have similar looking coolers but are vastly different.

Haterr plays oh I actually didn't know that. Thanks for the info :)

Woulda been the first thing I did if I bought this, and that is an if. When I was building my 1000 dollar rig I freaked out when I started researching power supplies by the views, my original budget was around 60 bucks but I ended up buying a 100 dollar EVGA because I was afraid of it exploding in my build.

Lord Krazus just built my rig with a Corsair 650 watt for 50£ and earlier it cut out earlier and now I’m wishing I spent more it’s been fine since though lol 😂

bro chill. no need for that kind of talk. Be constructive, bro. Let him know nicely or he won't change it.
