My favorite about building budget non-RGB PCs is the simplicity of it. Very little wires, easy to install stock cooler, and the single M.2 SSD.

I absolutley loved how calm and chill this video is, no screaming the title, no fancy stuff just a guy explaining calmly, this makes me consider doing this build.

Budget builds are 10000x more interesting than top-of-the-end expensive ones. Would love more videos like this in the future!

You are genuinely one of the best technology youtubers out there. Your calm and relaxed demeanor is so refreshing compared to others and I actually enjoy watching you build step by step. Keep doing what you are doing 😁

For those out there that want to follow something like this video, a 1650 super or 1660 used on eBay goes for about 70-80 dollars. For $20 more, it’s a pretty significant upgrade. Plus you’d be getting new drivers, since NVidia still supports it

All these videos made me realize I can afford gaming for my budget

The chill energy and straightforward explanations are totally my vibe. Gaming videos don't need to be loud and in your face. Thank you.

Oz, you are so down to earth, chill, and giving ppl out there that are in a budget very sound advice and how-to get into reasonable PC gaming. I live this style of tech channel. You sir, are one of the few, and a solid above the rest at that! GG, good sir!

Huge respect! Many youtubers trying to build world's most expensive builds with latest tech and here you are saving our ass.

Really appreciate the chill vibe and yet still dishing out some good PC talk. A lot of the big PC HW channels are so loud and abrasive. This is like The Joy of Painting but for the PC world.

Used this case for my recent build and I absolutely love the looks and quality for how cheap it is

I really love these videos and this channel. It's got such a chill and cozy vibe 💖💖💖 I used to think what's the point of PC gaming if it's not high end, but these builds definitely show some incredible value for the price, without needing any special deals to take advantage of.

The way you do your videos is just ... *chefs kiss*, chill beats, a little bit of back ground noise from the building. I get myself fresh ground and poured espresso and just vibe and feel pure relaxed. 10/10, get this man 1 mill subs

I absolutely love these super chill builds. I watch bitwit and a bunch of other pc building channels, and the hype is fun sure. But these are really laid back and relaxed. I love it. Merry christmas! Great video as always

I love all your videos. You were the reason why I was able to build my very first pc for $500. Thank you😊

Huge fan of your content oz! When I made my first PC, my buddy said PC gaming can't be done on a low Budget but like you I was able to do it! Keep up the great work

Great car choice for the merc. It reminds me of my Tofu delivery days. I just ordered two! Thanks Oz, looking forward to your 2024 content. Happy Holidays everyone
