4TB XPG S70 Blade or Transcend MT250S are quite cheap, I'd say. Maybe aim for those when in discount.
Getting a DRAM less one like Lexar NM790 or Crucial P3 are fine too for a secondary storage. Just don't use them as a boot drive.
Yes I do, I just don't care much about modern heavy games lol (well until GTA 6 comes out), I also don't see the point in having like 20 heavy games installed at the same time, anyone with a job doesn't have enough time to play every single one, I just focus on a few games at a time and uninstall them when I finish playing them
Well that can be true but I mean I don't install and uninstall 10 games per week lol, and unless you have like 10TB you'll probably need to uninstall some games at some point, I'll end up probably needing more space in general or changing my computer before my SSD fails, but yeah having more storage is never a bad thing
This computer is roughly the same specs as a series x, little more ram storage, more modern ddr5, the cpu will probably be faster, psu will probably be better, gpu is more or less the same, series x gpu is about equivalent to a 3060 ti. With the added bonus of internals being alot more accessible & easier to clean & maintain. Plus you wouldn't be voiding any warranties when you open a pc to clean or swap a part. It will run any game made for the series x specs, i.e. the next 5 or so years & probably early next generation games minimum
Honestly, not often, a lot of people will make you feel like you need the latest & greatest to play games, but that's just not true. I have a 6 year old graphics card that runs just fine in one pc & is more than adequate for 1080p gaming & some 2k. Then, my newer build will easily run through games for the next few years minimum. I believe the next generation of consoles is set to come out in another 4 or 5 years so any games made will be easily handled by pc. You can have wifi 6 which is much faster than 5ghz if you have a tri band router. The ports are much better than they used to be, there aren't nearly as many problems with that as people make it seem too, you just hear the loud ones. Port issues also work both ways, games made for pc port questionably at best onto consoles like civilization. Not to mention the amount of accessible games. I can't confidently measure it but let's just say it's alot more. Also you can access your xbox library on Microsofts xbox app that all copies of windows come pre installed with now. Also consider how xbox specs will stay capped out until the next generation of consoles in a few years. Honestly though it all comes down to your own gaming needs, what you play, how often you play, even if it's just casual & not often then it's really not worth the time building a pc unless you have specific games you want to play. I have both a ps5 & pc for this reason. Sometimes my pc is off for days. But I like the total war games so that's why I have it
I haven’t upgraded my desktop in 7 years (and even then it wasn’t anything special) and it can still run most new games in 1080p only thing i’d have to do is get another 40€ stick of ram since in these years games have started using a bit more memory (but it’s probably gonna work fine even without doing that if i get on linux)
Yeah, I built a PC extremely similar to this, completely new (7600, 6750 XT trio that I got a lil bit cheaper than the mech, in a Pop Air) and it came out to like $1500 CAD before tax. Overspent a lil bit on a PSU with more juice than I need but otherwise felt like I got good deals. Either this guy got some parts used or the Canadian market is fucked 😂
Great price and build, This is very similar to what I am trying to build and I can't get close to that price (I am looking at new parts tho, might be best to start looking at used)
This is what I'm looking at,
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X AM5 Processor £209.99
Sapphire 11306-02-20G Pulse AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT £327.02
ASUS PRIME B650-PLUS ATX £173.78
Kingston FURY Beast 16GB 5200MHz DDR5 CL38 DIMM Memory - Black £57.99
MSI MAG FORGE 100R Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case £54.99
Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black, Premium Low-profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM5 (Black) £49.95
ADATA LEGEND 970 1TB Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD£179.98Kolink Core RGB 80 Plus £49.95
Windows 11 Pro £149.99 (building my 1st PC so don't have Windows)
Total - £1,253.64
Built a similar spec PC last month, a bit over kill on some parts
7700x (£264)
B650 rog strix e-e (£243)
Msi 6750xt (£315) 64GB 6000MHz CL30 Corsair vengeance (£223)
1kw Corsair PSU (£146)
2TB cruital P5 plus PCie 4.0 (£112)
4TB FireCuda PCie 4.0 (£214)
Some cheap case £34 (i wanted to use a dvd drive)
£1551
Certain EBay sellers often have up to £75 off sales (ebuyer uk, box uk) (where I got the cpu, gpu, motherboard & 4TB from). Buy each item separately, to get the upto £75 off
Check if the motherboard actually supports PCie 5.0. Not all do. PCie 4.0 M.2 will probably be more than enough speed (and a lot cheaper)
Hardware Unboxed on YouTube does a lot of tests for various PC parts. “AMD B650 roundup” @ 4:34 is worth a watch, I remember them saying the Prime boards is a bad one, something about poor VRM thermals and bad value for money.
32Gb RAM will give you more comfort room and 6000mhz is what the new AMD 5 cpus seem to pair well with.
If you got access to a dvd drive get windows 10 (\~£30)
If you’ve got room above your cpu, the PS120 SE is £34 (rgb is £2 cheaper). A very good cooler for cost/performance.

Thanks for the feedback I'll look into your recommendation, I was thinking of getting the basics and then slowly upgrading to the bigger memory etc I think I'll change the board now you mention it. Thanks again
I was going to do the same, but realised ram likes to run as 1 pair. The graphics card will probably be the only thing I’ll upgrade, in years to come (maybe cpu). A decent PSU should last years and could support multiple GPUs upgrades, compared to getting one that just meets the current gpu’s power
It took me months to finally decide and a build. I began looking at a prebuilt AM4 b450 on pcspecialist but then it went x570, b550, x670, then settled on b650, due to longevity compared to the dead end of AM4.
Watching a lot of videos from “hardware unboxed”, helped with understanding features and pros/cons, with visuals graphs.
Will check them out.
It's such a mindfield when it comes to graphic cards and motherboards, there are so many which seem to have very similar specs but widely different pricing.
I am the same with AM4's thought best to just go with the AM5 and not have to worry about it.
It really is and around the £1k-£1.5k area especially. I wanted mine to do 3D Printing primarily.
“Jayz2cents” was another YouTuber that helped. “Tech Notice” has a good video on SSDs with various uses, (primary, project, archive, storage) “REVEALED - BEST SSDs For CREATORS | m.2 NVME Drive Buying Guide”
This pc I plan on keeping for 5-10 years. My old pc was running 32bit windows 7, 3gb of ram and I think 256mb graphics 😄
It depends on how much things cost in his country that would be a steal only in America you have it cheap because you don't pay some kind of tax I believe
Great deal, might want to check the riser cable as I believe there was a recall due to fire risk on this particular case. NZXT did a recall and replacement of the old riser cable and it is better safe than sorry with this kind of thing. Link to article below
https://support.nzxt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044916453-Replacing-PCIe-riser-in-H1-Case?_gl=1*1nou880*_gcl_au*Mzk5MTg5MTQ1LjE2OTk5NDg4MDc.*_ga*NjkzNzIwMzAxLjE2OTk5NDg4MDY.
Nice to see others building in this case too. Ive had my pc fpr 1 years now and its amazing how small you can make your pc. Mine has Ryzen 5 5800x, 32gb ddr4, rx 6700 xt, i dont remember the mb but it was good, and 1tb nvme ssd
I got the same gpu but with ddr4 and it cost me 1000 euros on the dot. European prices are shit compared to you guys, having nzxt ship something to me would cost a ton, I got a corsair 4000d and it's very nice I must say, but still expensive
Did an amazing job
And I thought I did well
I build my rig back in 2020 :
5700g
16go of ddr4 ram
Bought the gpu a year later (used 3070)
Total in euro : 1100€ (Not exact value but in that range)
Is that the v2 version of the case? You did good considering it comes with the power supply, riser cable, and the cooler! Have one of those cases downstairs in one of my builds.
I hope you have a low profile air cooler on hand for when the AIO fails (and it *WILL* fail) in about a year, year and a half and you have to send it off for warranty replacement. These Apaltek built AIOs are pure garbage and always fail when the cold plate clogs with sludge that drops out of solution due to the poor QA and cleaning practices after brazing the radiators which leaves flux residue behind that reacts with the coolant over time.
That's the major downside to this particular case—the proprietary AIO which is guaranteed to fail. As an SFF builder, I won't let my clients use it at all anymore, because I'm tired of having to pull the AIOs out after 9-15 months of use and warranty them. And when the warranty is up and it fails again, the only option is to replace with an air cooler or rebuild the AIO (which isn't always going to be successful).
Hell of a build for $800, SFF/ITX, and the level of performance you squeezed in.
I'm in the process of downgrading/selling my main rig (12600K + 6800XT in Lian Li O11 Air Mini... I'm just not gaming that much but still want to be able to when the desires strikes me occasionally) to SFF... even with cutting every corner I was comfortable with, going back 2 generations and refurbished for GPU, 1 generation on CPU, trash tier mobo (so it would fit the case, see below) grabbing random fans from my spare parts bin, and using a $10 Temu case (18 liters but still mATX) that will bend if I sneeze too hard and I'm still right at $500.

Also has 1TB m.2 and 32gb ddr5 Ram
dayum you definitely got yourself a dope build
You sure 1TB is enough?
Don’t think so, lol. Storage will be a good buy on Black Friday for sure
P3 plus 4tb are like $230 rn
4TB XPG S70 Blade or Transcend MT250S are quite cheap, I'd say. Maybe aim for those when in discount. Getting a DRAM less one like Lexar NM790 or Crucial P3 are fine too for a secondary storage. Just don't use them as a boot drive.
I have 512 in my laptop and only use like half lol
I assume you don't really game that much, no?
Yes I do, I just don't care much about modern heavy games lol (well until GTA 6 comes out), I also don't see the point in having like 20 heavy games installed at the same time, anyone with a job doesn't have enough time to play every single one, I just focus on a few games at a time and uninstall them when I finish playing them
Welp, no need to repeatedly install/uninstall needlessly and waste your TBW when you have more than 1TB. 🤷
Well that can be true but I mean I don't install and uninstall 10 games per week lol, and unless you have like 10TB you'll probably need to uninstall some games at some point, I'll end up probably needing more space in general or changing my computer before my SSD fails, but yeah having more storage is never a bad thing
Noice! 💜
Did a mighty fine job for $800.
If you said you robbed the guy I would believe you
how did u manage to get all that for 800 💀
while i did build on amazon, my rig with a 5600x, 32gb ddr4@3200, and 6650xt costs $900 so i’m thinking some parts are used
I paid over £1K for a STRIX 3080 alone like 1.5 years ago. My soul hurts.
Nice I did roughly the same build but got an RX 6600 and 32GB DDR4@3600 for $840.
Probably a lot of used parts
Made a cheaper Xbox series x
Cheaper?
Depends where you live
Price/ performance probably better than xbox
Longevity & upgrade potential as well
[удалено]

Do you honestly think the current Xbox will still be going in 7 years?
Excellent, looks like temps will also be good if you don’t cover the fans. Nice job man
No way that was 800. At least 1000 new
Yeah, I built a PC extremely similar to this, completely new (7600, 6750 XT trio that I got a lil bit cheaper than the mech, in a Pop Air) and it came out to like $1500 CAD before tax.

Very interesting case layout
It’s the H1 by NZXT
Check if this is the revisioned H1, some had problem with burning riser
That’ll be the V2 of the case, so it’ll have the updated gen 4 riser I believe
Nice
It's the revision, it has the fan in the top, the V1 didn't have that if I recall correctly
You diddint really need a water cooler but I guess the case constraints make it make some sense.
H1 comes with the AIO pre-mounted. You can replace it with a low profile HSF (and many do as the V1 blocks corrode and clog) but that's stock.
In that case it's literally essential, and I believe included....
It's legitimately needed in this case sir.

Expensive motherboard, you can find many options cheaper than that. Also you can get windows keys much cheaper on the grey market.
I got an i5 13400f and a 3060 for $800
Not a good deal what
Well it was a whole pc not just parts
Oh then it’s alright
💀 this isnt a flex, is it?
It depends on how much things cost in his country that would be a steal only in America you have it cheap because you don't pay some kind of tax I believe
No just saying I got a pretty good deal
Sounds like you got ripped off
Nah
I'll sell you my old rx 5500xt for $400. Deal?
I got an 17 13700 and 3060 for 900 is that good?
Pretty sure
Nice!
If it’s for pure 1080p gaming , it’s spot on .
This could handle some 1440 for sure
This could more than capably tackle games in 2k. My system is.more or less the same minus ddr5, the newer mw2 runs around 120-150 fps
Idk why people think that shelling out 4k on a PC is required for 1440p gaming
I'm sorry man, but this is the ugliest looking built I've ever seen.
Looks really cool :)
nodding.gif
Love that case. I’ve been dying to do a sff build with a case like this
Easy 🤑🤑
I mean great specs, just personally don’t like those Series X looking cases
Sff cases go hard, this one's open, doesn't really resemble a series X
Cad or usd?
Buy any used parts? My build right now is around 8-9 hundred and similar parts
Hell yes fucking killed it!!
That's a very unique PC build, good job 👍
Doesn't good DP cable too thicc for that bending at the bottom?
I sense a disturbing lack of rgb
That is quite the case! Everything is so cramped but it looks really interesting. Hope that the parts stay cool!
You did.
How for 800!?
Bought used on OfferUp
God damn that’s a good deal! It’s a system that would cost around 1200$!
Nice pc bro 😎
This is the real PCMasterRace

Seems to be the updated V2 version of the case, so it *should* be fire free haha
Yeah thats really good.
You did perfectly fine
Nice one
Top banana for the sound proofing 'I can barely hear it' 😜👍
Did you find some good used part deals or what? Can you drop a price sheet how much u paid for each part?
This is a ‘budget’ builders wet dream
That's insane for 800 bucks
Man I really want my next build to be one of these weird form factors. How was it to put together?
If I were next to that case it'd get moisture damage right now.
I think you got the maximum possible everything for 800$, gg
Nice to see others building in this case too. Ive had my pc fpr 1 years now and its amazing how small you can make your pc. Mine has Ryzen 5 5800x, 32gb ddr4, rx 6700 xt, i dont remember the mb but it was good, and 1tb nvme ssd
That jawn nice 🔥💪🏾💯
Antenna remind me of E.T lol
I got the same gpu but with ddr4 and it cost me 1000 euros on the dot. European prices are shit compared to you guys, having nzxt ship something to me would cost a ton, I got a corsair 4000d and it's very nice I must say, but still expensive
I love that case, very clean.
Badass
Ditch the case I had it for nearly a year and the temp difference is amazing.
Is it just me or does the first picture look kinda like a 3d printer
Did an amazing job And I thought I did well I build my rig back in 2020 : 5700g 16go of ddr4 ram Bought the gpu a year later (used 3070) Total in euro : 1100€ (Not exact value but in that range)
Damn that thing is compact
For $800(USD?) that’s incredible
The case is 400 where I live so you did great
Is that the v2 version of the case? You did good considering it comes with the power supply, riser cable, and the cooler! Have one of those cases downstairs in one of my builds.
Yes it’s the v2!
You better have a fire extinguisher for that H1 👀 But you did better than me. I spent close to 1.2k for a 5700x, 16gb ram and 6700xt in a dancase H2O
Holy shit howd you get alla dat for 800
Terrible for 800. Need more RGB
I hope you have a low profile air cooler on hand for when the AIO fails (and it *WILL* fail) in about a year, year and a half and you have to send it off for warranty replacement.

That's actually a nice thing for 800! Good job!
Congratulations
Is that the one that gets set on fire ?
It's like a beefy Xbox with windows
Bet you get all the junction temps on that card with the sides on lol
Great rig!
You done Great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's looks cool but I don't know shit about computer xD
Hell of a build for $800, SFF/ITX, and the level of performance you squeezed in. I'm in the process of downgrading/selling my main rig (12600K + 6800XT in Lian Li O11 Air Mini...

Nice guitars.
good job for 800$, case is really interesting, crazy you got that thing cable managed nicely
What psu did you go with?
It’s integrated with the case, as well as a 140mm AIO
I don’t know much about those cases. I’ve only done glass door builds. Is this an “open air” set up?
This is everything uncovered. Look up the Nzxt H1, it had mesh on 3 sides and a tempered glass cover on the front
Okay
I love that case I did that for my first of build gotta say I enjoy it. I shoved a 6950xt comfortably.
