You guys are going to kill me with your awesome content. Thank you so much PC Bros, watching your videos give me great joy all the time. I hope you guys have a Toasty year.❤️😭😁
The 1660 super is still a good gpu as long as you can get it at a decent price. Vram is getting a bit light even for 1080p but thats an issue for many gpu of the last couple of generations. People laughed when the rx 580 hit with 8gb of vram but thats the main reason its still a relevant gpu today.
@@daytimerocker3808 Not many which is why I said its getting light. But many games need much more than that now to have more than low textures. It's the low end of viable vram at the moment and given the trend of ever more detailed textures its only going to get worse. That forsworn game needs 16gigs for the high textures.
Nicely done! with time management. Personally, I prefer larger chassis for desktops. However, this build looks fantastic and interests me a lot. Imo spending a little more time on the build itself held my retention. Therefor the gaming felt like more of a reward to check out the outcome etc... Cheers - Jass & Jacqui E.
I like watching these guy's videos....they are not like the others channels that only build high-end pc's that almost nobody can afford. Keep it up guys love your content.
Came across this video like a month ago, been watching like over and over to make sure I don’t fuck anything up but I bought everything and I’m building this! Thanks to you guys and this video I actually am about to put my “first” pc together.
Thanks for the insights! Just got the same hull and launched in basic config with i5-12500, cheap 95W cooler, 2 X 8 RAM and no Graphics Card. Running pretty hot and throttling in Cinebench 24. On built-in GPU, experiencing mediocre gaming performance at best. Still the size is certainly impressive! Will be working on it.
This is by far, the coolest thing I’ve seen on this channel. I wish I was building another of I would totally be all over this. Maybe I’m about 4-6 months when finances are looking better.
Wooow, nice thing with this separate shell cover, if you want a different color you can just spray paint and double it with semi gloss clear. Real nice
I also have 1660super from ASUS evo version , love it, love the card I also build a 500$ couple weeks a go for 1080p gaming, and its really doings its job amazing Ryzen 5 5500 gtx 1660super 16gb DDR4 3200mhz SSD 512gb
I put together a pc last summer using the i3 12100F - a great CPU. Still paired with my old GTX 1060 3gb, as GPU prices were still bonkers back then. Will look at GPUs later, as I'm fine for now
That's a cool sff build that doesn't break the bank. I have an R5 2600 with an RX 580 that offers "similar" performance but it cost me around $750 during the first crypto boom.
Good thing about that system you can upgrade your CPU and GPU fairly easy. My Mother has a 1600 on a b450 Mobo so I'm thinking I may get her a second hand 3600 and upgrade her for not much money.
I built one of these and yes its a great little value but heat is an issue with a stock cooler. A quality low profile fan is a must. Temps were out of control till I bought a Noctua L9 fan. I also changed the fan to run full at all times(probably not needed but I felt better doing so). After those changes no heat issues.
if you have not undervolting can also help a ton. Not sure how locked down the bios is for this but if its an option negative 100mv on the cpu and doing an after burner curve on the gpu could help a bunch.
I've built several PCs. These two I built for myself. One of them is an 011 mini so not small. The other is my small computer which is NR200P. I built it 2 years ago. 59.50X and a 380 with 32 GB RAM I put a z63 on the CPU. It's a tight squeeze to be sure, but it runs cool enough. It's very powerful for its little tiny size which is smaller than the deal it replaced that was a 7050. I believe it is mid tower that I threw a 3060 in.
Just recently during prime day I bought a bunch of components that are usually worth 1200 and got it for just over 700 and it’s a mid tower but I just ordered a smaller motherboard and smaller case to be able to use all those components and get some money back. You have inspired me to push for smaller LMAO.
i have one of these with a 12700F and an RX6600, and i absolutely love it. they make some ITX-sized 3060a, but that's the most power you can feasibly stuff into one of these short of a case mod. without a case mod, i shoved a noctua chassis fan where the 3.5" drive would mount + took out the front I/O cover for extra airflow.
I've been saving up for a small PC myself, but I just don't think the 1660 Super is enough for the games i am planning to play (MSFS, Forza) so I want to squeeze a 3060 into the same case, do you think it will fit? Nice vid as always!
Sorry bro but a I don't think that the 3060 will fit and even if it somehow does then it will probably run at like 90 degrees Celsius which you probably don't want. This is a great case for light to medium level builds but for something a bit more powerful, you will need a bigger power supply and a bit more air flow.
@@pradhumansingh8385tually u can squeeze a 3060 in there. Not a full size 3060 of course but one of the smaller versions. EVGA RTX 3060 XC is one that fits
@@Da.Diddler ohhh, I will look into it but I was imagining a full size one and that is why I wrote this. Plus he/she wanna play MSFS which will obviously make his gpu cry in tears and melt to the ground in that case. 😂
If you are building a budget gaming rig and don't plan to upgrade then it's worth it but otherwise it has too many compromises, you are tied to the PSU that comes with it cause it's reverse fan , without it the CPU is gonna overheat since there is no airflow on it, and you'll be limited on which GPU you can use cause of size and the 500w PSU limit, CPU wise I won't use anything bigger than a i5 12400, the board VRM's can't handle any more than that
Funny thing is that I have this saved in my cart because I am looking at building a micro form factor for basic video editing rig for youtube. Would an I5 be sufficient?
So I made this built. Except with a 3060 i5 12400 instead of a 1650 an i3 13100. Brought through a their toasty bro affiliate link from new egg. Initially does the PC get hot yes. Nothing that will cause the PC to crash but it will get very warm to the touch. To fix this issue the only thing you have to do is go out and buy 3 USB cooling fans. I bought six of them through Amazon and they're called AC Infinity. Now all 100% admit six was kind of Overkill but I can play Need for Speed Heat a very graphically intensive and CPU intensive game and I only reach Temps in the mid-70s on my GPU and my CPU and motherboard only reaches about 62c... I purchased their set of two 80 mm cooling fans and then some 120 mm fans they also have, and a power adapter that boosts the fan speed. All together all of those fans and that USB power adapter came to about $60 in total these are very cheap fans but they're pretty good quality they don't feel like cheap plastic like they'll fall apart instantly... So if there's anyone who's legitly thinking about making this build maybe for the same reasons that I did because I needed a compact build I don't have a lot of room for a huge Tower. You can definitely make this a very competent gaming desktop. I've literally spent one month testing this PC before I even decided to make this comment because I didn't want these fans to not work or the PC to constantly overheat. And neither one of those things happened so honestly this is a good build can be pretty cheap if you also if you price around the parts onvplaces like eBay and Facebook Marketplace. My entire build excluding the fans and the ssds because I just took those m.2's from my previous gaming laptop. The complete build came out to about $750.
@@phenom4023 Rtx 3060 single fan pny version 32 Gb of ram (2x16gb sticks) I5 12400. Could save 10-20 bucks if you get the 12400f version because it’s has no built in graphics CPU fan I went with the noctua L9i. Very important to remember that it MUST BE the L9i version. Because cpu uses the lga 1700 socket. Also, remember CPU fan can only be 54 mm in height that’s the max clearance if you stick with the stock ATX power supply that comes with the system, but the system is also mountable for a smaller SFX power supply if you’re willing to go that route. I stuck with the standard power supply and have no issues with it. My nvme is a old 1TB drive from a gaming laptop I used for years but it’s a Samsung 970 which usually ranges to 90-120 dollars. Now, as far as the USB fans go, I’ve bought them off of Amazon. They are branded as AC infinity and what I did was I purchased the dual sets of 120 mm fans and a dual set of 80 mm fans which I use for intake and exhaust. If you mount the fans correctly, you’ll definitely feel the heat coming out of, the exhaust ports where the fan should be properly mounted with some type of 3M, double-sided, sticky tape, unless you’re confident to drill mounting holes into the system which I wasn’t. Both sets of fans are relatively cheap as well. I believe one was $18.99 and the other one was like $21. And the AC adapter to make the fan spin at a higher speed was only like an additional eight dollars so overall the USB fans should maybe run you 60 bucks in a whole total. Now I do wanna give you a heads up that these prices may vary because to my knowledge, I believe the asrock deskmeet is a little more expensive than it was when I bought it through Newegg but it’s only buy like $30. I bought the system and they were selling it for 189$. But as long as you’re willing to shop the used market for your graphics card, you should be fine because everything else in the system was new for the exception of the graphics card and that was because someone was selling a 3060 for 250$ on Facebook marketplace near me so it was too good of a deal to pass up
Having a Microcenter so close by kills the desire to do something like this. They have prebuilt and tested systems with small cases and either a Gtx 1650 or similar and the option to upgrade. Prices are too competitive to deal with this video’s project. IMHO
Mini-itx is so strange to me, like the builders of the case probably spend a few dollars on steel and paint, sell it for lots of money, and all the parts you buy have to be a special form factor to fit, making them more expensive. And you get bad airflow, basically a laptop in desktop form factor
I tried turning on the pc with everything but the gpu to see if it would function but when I turn it on it turns on for a second then turns off. Am I doing something wrong?
I'm curious if it would fit a certain gpu, namely an rtx 2060, as I would love to build a PC of this size, but kind of want features like ray tracing and dlss.
@@enz4961 I thought that was why it was an "rtx" card. 3000 series has second gen ray-tracing cores, so where was first gen? Maybe try googling, instead of unintentional (or maybe intentional, I don't know) gaslighting.
@@AnthroBean2906 oops im so sorry, i didn't mean to gaslight, i read my info wrongly, so sorry, and i just searched up an rtx 2060 can do ray tracing, then again so sorry
@@enz4961 No problemo. Just maybe google something before hand, if you're not entirely sure. This I was sure about, because it's a card I've been wanting to since it's release, and am now only just about able to afford it.
Idk other than ps5 exclusives I'd say this would be more worth it but if you don't like the process of building it and allat yea a ps5, also same about the apu's.
so, noob question here but,, why isn't there any thermal paste applied between the CPU and the cooler in this build? like @5:20 onwards, just installs the cooler right on.
have a 1050ti sitting around collecting dust do you think this could be a good build for a 10 year old? it would be my nephew he is into like esports titles like fortnite and such but he has limited space in his room.
Thanks for the review guys! There's a refurbished Pavilion Ryzen 5 5600G w/ RX 5500 GPU for $365 on the Walmart website. Can you guys check this deal out?
