This $200 Gaming PC Only Needs ONE UPGRADE 

Big thanks to Corsair and the new M75 Air Wireless Ultra-Lightweight Gaming Mouse for sponsoring this video. Check it out here: howl.me/ckRLS99sNbe

For an OEM prebuilt, I actually really like these Victus PCs. You have a decently powered system from the start, and have a very simple upgrade path to go for. You can even add a 92mm AIO in the back, and a 80-92mm (I think) fan in the front for some additional airflow. You can go a little enthusiast on it, which is not that common for OEM builds. Slap an RX 6650 XT in there, a 92mm AIO, an intake fan, and the extra stick of ram if needed, and you've got yourself a very capable system. Hmm maybe the very limit would be an RTX 4070, if one of the smaller models can fit, and a Ryzen 5700g...

Not a single Victus under $400 anywhere. Well done 😂

I got a "HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop" with a 5600G and RX5500 almost two years ago. At the time it was more like $400. The case has slightly different styling (ribbed design with a green light on the front) However, it looks like an identical motherboard and internal case layout. Maybe worth checking out if you're having trouble finding one of these Victus ones. I upgraded to an RX6600 and it has been running great!

I don't know if I'm being silly, but I can't find a single one for under $400, except one where someone just snagged the 6400 and sold it on

*These are ok as a starting point to gaming PCs*

I have a ryzen 5800x and asus prime a320m-k motherboard and I have nothing popping up on the display can you please tell me what kind of budget mother for the ryzen 7 for $100

This is actually exactly what I have! I upgraded to 16 gb or corsair ram. I also put a different cooler on it.

I cant lie it looks super clean too

Can u do a vid on how to upgrade to better for a 400 dollar budget

Posted an hour ago and nothing anywhere showing these bad bois under $400 lol

hey do you know of any good 200mm fan pc cases? (maybe white) asethically i just like the look of giant fans

Zach can i add a good replacement from my hp victus I added another stick of ram and now i have 16. im using a rx 6400, and a ryzen 5 5600g, and I only have 350 watts. Can I add a rtx 2060 with no troubles with the psu or if not can u name any other gpus that i can replace with the rx 6400?

Too be honest, this PC is quite good for light gaming and would be exceptional as a home office PC! Can always add more storage, if one chooses the latter.

Pcie converter for a ssd is VERY worth it vs a Sata drive. You will only get 3rd gen speeds but that’s 3000mps vs 600

I put an small intake fan on the side vent (mounted to the black frame on the inside), as well as an RX 6600 XT and this machine screams. I got the whole PC for $168 new, open box, from Walmart and added the GPU, extra RAM, and the fan for only $80 more total. What a steal of a PC this one turned out to be.

what do u think is the best am4 cpu +gpu combo for 700 dollars i rn think its the 5800x3d and the 3060 ti

Im looking to upgrade my mother board and my graphics card what should I replace my msi Z490 A-Pro atx motherboard and my radeon rtx 5700 xt graphics card

$200 is different from $400

might want to tell us what the PSU is like, can it be replaced easily - what card could it support say if you did upgrade the CPU

Thank you for finally doing a "you could earn points by watching" video. I skipped all of them.

What components should I choose for pc build within 30000 Rs (INR). I need it for the CAD/CAM application, fluid simulation, web browsing, and other basic work.

Definitely try to upgrade the cpu! If it works, you have a new video. If it doesn't, then you have a new short. Win win

i don't know that do you know this same pc comes with some very good components like 3060(12 gb) and a intel i5-12400F and its super amazing.

Hi Zach I want to build a gaming pc using my HP mini case that I bought back in the day. It's got a I5 4590s. As far as I know I should get a new psu since the original is less than 200w. The motherboard uses a 24 pin connector so no worries for extensions. Do you think the HP factory motherboard can support 16gb, an RX 580 or an RX 5700 xt? Or more more important, can it handle gaming and maybe a core i7 4790 for an upgrade?

How do the initial specs in this PC compare to an i7 8700k, GTX 1060 6GB, and 16 GB of DDR4 RAM?

Does every one of these pcs come with a pcie?

For that system id recommend getting that extra stick of ram definitely. If more storage is needed id get a 2.5 inch ssd. As far as a gpu upgrade id say a 3060 is a good option.

Bro I am having RX 6400 and Ryzen 5600X i am planning to upgrade my GPU which one would be best for me My budget is 350$, If i can get any 12GB GPU then It would be good.

Where can I buy it

Nice build pc bro ❤❤❤

Does anyone have a link to a $250 model? The lowest I saw was $350

What gpu would you recommend for ryzen 5 5600g 16 GB Ram 450w psu

Rtx 2060 6gb for 200$ is good ?? Im on a Budget, i have a ryzen 5 5600g , and live in a really expensive country 310$ for a rtx3060

I'd go for SATA SSDs if I'd be a basic user. Easiest upgrade for storage expansion.

Could u please help me the thermal paste stuck my cpu to my cpu cooler

my question is at the end of they getting a new pc is better if they gonna update that much :3

using those pcie to m.2 adapter is really worth it even though it got "bottlenecked" to 1 lane. when using nvme with pcie 3.0 and x4 lanes you could get highest theoretical speed of 4gb/sec but with x1 lane you could still get 1gb/sec which is still faster than sata 2.5 drives

Can anyone recommend me a case that has 4 x 3.5 drive slots? Preferably white.

Where is the link to this pls🙂

Ik most of yur videos are budget builds, but can u do a high-end build once in a while👀👀👀🙏

Note: this is an HP, so whatever RAM you install WILL be initially running at the JEDEC Speed. With two sticks, that will be anywhere between 2133 and 2400 mhz for that care about these details. POTENTIAL (as in I have not tried myself yet) RAM With 3200 JEDEC supposed speeds (CL22) such as the Crucial Pro, may run at the 3200 mhz speed with CL22. More so because this is an AMD Motherboard, rather than an intel. HOWEVER, not to fear if you do buy this and don't want, for whatever reason, the CL22 RAM, and want CL16 RAM. Only for AMD but you can overclock the RAM using Ryzen master.

Please post videos about gaming home servers on all price points

I wish more pc tech review related channels would add Rust to their benchmarks. Even though you could say this about any game, Rust is a very competitive and demanding game that is mostly cpu bound. The game is also very popular

Where can I get the pc from

i was JUST thinking about getting this

Your best bet on storage is to get a 2.5" SSD - 2tb drives are very inexpensive, and are more than fast enough.

could u startling genshin ant full setting as a test game too. ik most people watching ur chanel don't play it, however it is a great game for testing from what I've experienced

Was not really sure where to ask but is the Apevia 600W PSU you usually use on budget builds good? I am new to PC building and currently trying to build my first PC, but currently I am recently learning about PSUs and was wondering if the Apevia Prestiege PSU you usually use in budget builds is safe and reliable.

How much fps does it get in valorant?.

Is this going back in stock on your store ???????

hey, can you tell me a good budget GPU to go with an intel core i5 to run Fortnite? I'm starting a RU-vid channel.

whats the best ryzen and intel cpu for rx 5700 xt and if i get ryzen cpu do i need to upgrade the mother bored? or just bios cause im not sure right now i have a rx 5700 xt i3-10100 and 32 gb ram

Hey I was wondering Would this have better value than a 7 hundred dollar gaming PC? I was planning on building one around that price point but I saw this video which one do you think would be a better choice I’m mostly trying to play Fortnite.

Happens everytime youtuber talks about a cheap alternative and the prices get jacked up they are $400 to $500. I can go to microcenter and get 5600x motherboard and 16gb of ram for $269 cheap case power supply and storage. i can be around the same price the victus it is now. Granted i have spare 2080ti

is it DIMM or UDIMM ram

Good for people with a budget

1:14 I almost died laughing...

help out with the link for item

Victus really a good budget pc and laptop but the problem is in my country any laptop or computer setup with GPU is considered luxury item and get taxed like crazy and being delivered trash price to performance is quite a headache if you want to buy even entry level gaming setup here in Indonesia seriously they need to update the tax law, even low specs laptop that use intel 10th gen still get luxury item tax if the laptop screen is 15 inch, (you can look at the luxury good tax for indonesia country and it's a real thing)

This is from the HP website : Theses are the only CPU's that will work with that board. R 7 5700G would be a decent upgrade, 2 more cores. AMD Ryzen 3 5300G (Cezanne) 4.0 GHz base clock, up to 4.2 GHz maximum boost clock, 8 MB L3 cache, 4 cores 65 W AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (Cezanne) 3.9 GHz base clock, up to 4.4 GHz maximum boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache, 6 cores 65 W AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (Cezanne) 3.8 GHz base clock, up to 4.6 GHz maximum boost clock, 16 MB L3 cache, 8 cores 65 W

Will you please start testing these with ark survival ascended instead of ark survival evolved as they have completely different performance requirements

zach please can you make a super buget amazon pc?

My Friend bougt a victus pc for 800 euro it had a 3050 8 gigs of ram and a i5-12th gen (12400f)

Asus PRIME B560M-A Micro ATX LGA1200 Motherboard OLOy MD4U083216BJDA 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory Intel Core i3-10100F 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor Patriot P300 512 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ID-COOLING SE-224-XTS BLACK 70 CFM CPU cooler Zalman Z1 Iceberg MicroATX Mid Tower Case Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 600 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply i was thinking to use a 220$ 3050 8gb but idk if i should

Hey could you help me with my question which one of these PC’s would be the best option for Fortnite at its peak performance to run the game as smooth as possible PCSpecialist Core 230 i5-12F/16/1024/4060Ti $1170 Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB Intel core i5-13400F 16 GB RAM, 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD $1100 Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB LHR Intel core i5-12400F 16 GB RAM, 512 M.2 NVMe SSD $1170

I want to buy a gpu which will last me for years around 700 euro. I cannot decide between 4070 ( mostly bc of ray tracing and dlss) and rx 6950xt (raw power and 16gb memory) which is a better choice? Have a better suggestion?

I won an i5 12400f and 1660super new boxed one of these on eBay UK for £208 shipped! I've still laughing right now, guess what the only upgrade it needed was an 8gb 3200 stick 🤣

It was on sale

Bought my 1660ti i7 7700k 2 tb ssd 16 ddr4 ram for 220 a couple months back, what a steal I may say lol

You can totally build a 3060 based PC for $250 right now using a Xeon E5-1650 V4 and a new build X99 Machinist or Jingsha gaming MB with NVME support. Won't set the world on fire but it will get the job done for the next 2-3 years. I wouldn't even buy this prebuilt to upgrade it. You can get the base hardware for much less than $200 and not be stuck with a proprietary MB or crappy case. Their proposed upgrade path will cost over $500 and still have lower performance than just building a rig from scratch with a used 3060. If you're getting 122 avg and 78 1% lows in a game, you're gonna want to set the limiter to 90fps or so. When you have that big of a discrepancy, stutters are pretty much assured and Mirage is pretty bad in that respect. Has some gnarly frame drop potential even on fairly recent hardware unless you set a limit. I'm pretty sure it is more CPU related (single thread perf) because it will happen even on a much stronger GPU. It is due to the poor CPU task allocation of an old game engine being loaded up with fat textures and a lot more physics calculations than it was ever intended to run.

Where did you find one for $200??? Everywhere I look they are $450+ used and like $600 new

Fresh Cut? ✂

A question for which I have not yet found an answer (Where did the mining graphics cards go)????

I have the exact same pc but with pcie 4 and before I wanted to upgrade tg is pc but now I want a new one and give that pc to my little brother bc my budget increased and I’m plainning to do 800€ (I’m on France ) and actually I’m playin Fortnite with 8 gb of ram and it’s pretty bad I’ll buy some stick for my little brother he play Fortnite a lot so that fair

Hmm, all the buzz about these things might've raised the price as my results are coming up close to $500 for these machines, that's still cheaper than a brand new computer but not by much, after you add the graphics card and RAM it's almost as much as a brand new gaming pc.

Ebay sellers must've seen his video and jacked the price back up 😂

I have that cpu and have 24gb of ram and I can not so far get forza to look anything like that

These have already jumped to over 400 Euro, quite the popular video eh?

at my country all victus is above $800

A great guide for budget gamers!

who did you blow to get one so cheap?

I am buying a gaming pc with a intel i3 12100f 12thgen with an rx6650xt is it good?

My $600 PC has wrost specs then this PC! I'll definitely consider this if I can sell my current PC!

All are $450+

You got my hopes up😢

I have one ot those, but Intel version, came stock with 11400F, dual channel 3200MHz 16gb ram and a GTX 1660 Super (later i upgraded to RX6600). Problem on that pc are temps with stock components, expect cpu and gpu temps to be around 60-80º on gaming, and the noise from fans is loud. i did some modifications on the case to lower the noise, because the temps are about the same. Remove the metal cage inside the case for the HDD, and install an 120mm fan on the side panel. it will lower the temps about 10c, but more important, much lower noise from the rest of the stuff. i did remove the extra cables and other accessories from inside the case, and now have a better airflow. I did disconnect the front LED case thing, because i could feel that the front plastic was really hot on the LED controller location, so less heat and a bit less power consumption there too

My friend wants to buy an rx 6700 for an i5-4590. I told him multiple times that its a STUPID idea but he said "Your thoughts are not facts". i told him to buy an rx 6600 and upgrade the cpu or even change sockets but he will not take my advice. I NEED YOUR HELP.

whats better, the rx 580 or the gtx 1650?

Bro the cpu alone is the more than the whole pc this price can’t be real

i have an victus but mine has a 3050

MSI B560M-A + i5-10400 + 16GB RAM =180$+20$ shopping (you need only PSU ±40$ and case ±20$). 260$ and you could play smth like CS and buy GPU when you get enough money. But this PC for many years and whitout motherboard problems that could have HP or Dell PC's

This thing costs no where near what you said it did, but still a nice starter pc.

Can you play titanfall 2 on it Pls Reply thank you

Can’t get ANYTHING like this in the UK :(
