"I’m not going to take an hour to build this computer" video length 1:14:01
Try building that now in the middle of this shitstorm. The cheapest gaming rig I could build that will run Tarkov on low settings is $850 usd plus tax. Doesn’t include GPU. And yes APU. Penny pinching using a $199 motherboard, $39 psu, $70 nvme ssd, $$75 ddr4 ram, $80 case with built in fans, APU is a secret. Constantly going back and forth swapping out parts trying to make this as cheap as possible and its still pushing $1k without a graphics card. This GPU crisis is literally cancer especially when trying to build a pc.
Not gonna take an hour, video 1 hour 14 minutes me thinking HMMMMM. Lets see
That pc better than mine bruh
It’s funny how the GPU in this build cost as much as the entire build in 2021😭
Did u mean 500$ plus the addition cost of a ryzen 1 or 2 to flash the motherboard?
This pc could be sold above 800 now lmao. Especially in india.
Red like the roses
White like the doves
I double tap right
When he says "Speaking of"
My first build was in like 2015 and it was a $450 all amd build. My god was it shit but it got the job done well for what it was used that baby to play ARK for years
i built a $1500 one and im a KID
linus : "i am not gonna speed build but i am also not gonna take a hour to build this"
me : the video literaly is of 1 hour
They hacked into my machine.
If only we knew that these were the good days.
Yo you sure this isn’t going to take an hour.
I miss the days where a 1650 Super was cheap
Nick- Free shipping! Lunis- *Pain*
The time when the gpu didn’t cost as much as the pc
My stupid ass didn’t see the white box in the bottom hdd case and was wondering for about a half hour where the hell the screws for the motherboard came from lmao
Fast forward a year and the gpu is $500 alone
Thats the setup im getting for christmas lol
This build on newegg now costs 1130$
Thank for having PC build guides
at last something on this channel that can match my budget !
Can this pc run warzone
He says he’s not going to take an hour building it. Then I look at the video length.
A lot of hardware keys (Yubikey, Solokey) are USB Type-C
well this video aged like milk
this was legitimately real for a second there. we just got a look into Linus life.
this pc now is $1004.76USD
"Not that I’m speaking from experience."
I get the feeling he’s speaking from experience. That’s what I did when I wanted something. I’d save my allowance for airsoft gear when I was younger.
Damn I just picked one up from zotac the same card but single fan and oc the cheapest one rn or like 100 less than the build alone 🙁 I miss it when the 3060 launched I could’ve gotten it but not enough
We are building a $500 pc, but it actually cost us $580 lol / you rounded in the wrong direction / We built a $600 PC
You lied to us on jun 4 2020 you said you were not going to take a hour to build the AMD gaming PC but you took 1:14:00
Now folks are trying to sell 1650 Supers themselves for 500 freaking dollars
i got amd athlon gold and amd radeon graphic
Is that an AMD stock cooler in your pocket or are you happy to see us?
"amd gaming pc"
nvidia gpu
it’s like 820$ in my country now lmao
Linus is right about USB type A motherboards and cases
everytime i see youtubers making my dream rig and calling it budget i cry
linus :an all amd pc
me: the. whys there a nvidea graphics card
Would an Xpg sx8200 work just as well?
The GPU alone is $400.
Hearing him talk about the pc being destroyed scared me
$935 now. (Rounding included
Sorry that was the 24 jun 2020
This video did not age well
Hardware manufacturers (NVIDIA and AMD) just got greedy. IMHO prices are gonna stay high at least until the first 2 quarters of 2022… IF they ever lower again.
Also I don’t really understand how APUs and a machine like the Steam Deck will keep up with the next generation games, meaning that I don’t see it as a solution unless you want to play older games, which is totally legit!
Yeah those were the good days the graphics card is $500 alone 😭😭😭
