This build is not about buying used parts, and it is not about buying the absolute lowest priced components (although there is nothing wrong with that) I just wanted to see if I could come up with a PC build that fit in a low cost price bracket (although more expensive than my $150 Ebay PC build), but performs like it belongs in a much higher price bracket. In my opinion, this build absolutely performs, and is going to be extremely hard to beat, dollar for dollar, without going with pre-owned parts. The performance numbers I provide in this video are with a modest overclock, so those that are keen on pushing frequencies can hit even higher marks.

These fans are very quiet, the leds look good, and they move decent air, but you can easily change those. With an AM4 socket, you can easily upgrade to a Ryzen 5 2400, or you could put your Ryzen 3 2200g in an MSI Gaming Pro Carbon AC. The NVME drive can be used just for a boot drive and you can easily add a 1TB ssd for game storage. This is just the best starting point for someone on a budget, wanting to game at a level, other than the bottom of the spec list, with a clear path for upgrading later on.
