Are Those Buget Gamong pc builds good

[Steven Ramos]

I've searched youtube for budget builds and if seen videos that a $400,$500etc could run today's games at 60fps at ultra or high videos like this one

Honestly that channel looks like a joke. Sure they have the pretty look to it...but reading the information they give, I honestly find it hilarious.
The $400 PCs are actually $410 and $450...and then become $100 more to purchase an OS.
The $500 PCs are actually $560 and $520...and then become $100 more to purchase an OS.

Also, if you already don't have a keyboard/mouse then that would be an extra $20 or whatever.

I know that the keyboard/mouse bit is a bit much...and most people leave out OS in the costs...but seriously for the most part those YouTube videos like that are just made to get views and subscribers because people that don't know anything about computers just take their word for it.

Think of it this way...where is the proof at? I want to see them show the system specs on the screen through a program and then show each game that they claim running while recording benchmarks.

Those PC builds typically don't really offer an upgrade ability, without having to completely replace at least one component which is normally the PSU. Many times you would have to replace the PSU to just upgrade to a better GPU later on.

And I noticed that the $500 build options are both bottlenecked by the CPU...so why have that GPU at all? You would have better luck getting on here and asking for builds in that price range.

Also, I highly doubt that any of those builds would be able to play GTA 5 on 1080p ultra settings at 30+ fps...maybe if you turned down AA settings and other settings...but then it would not actually be ultra settings...it would be custom settings.
