build My budget build

[Blakeeze]

Hello LTT community!'

 

You may have possibly seen me on Discord, or maybe even the PCMR reddit!

I had a few people help me with this budget build, but I would love to have more pointers and such.

So the oddest thing about this build, is how ram is so extremely expensive, so expensive that its the MOST expensive part in the build!

If you have any opinions/pointers about the this budget build, PLEASE tell me. I've been planning this a while now for my birthday. (My budget is $300, even though its a little over, the prices for my power supply and case had recently gone up for some reason)

 

 

 

P.S. - Alot of people said I should go for a used build (or pre-built), but I really want the experience of building my own computer.

 A used PC can get you much further than an extremely dated AMD APU. See if you can find a used i5 4690K or something along those lines.

This is an old AM3 design strapped to AM4 platform. IF you really want to get cheap then either used market for some old i5 or a G4560.

At your budget, I would buy a refurbished Dell or HP or used machine and stick a 1050, 1050 Ti, or 750 Ti in it.

If you really don't want to search for used parts and build that way (which I would HIGHLY recommend doing instead)
