    "Nobody needs this rig" I agree, send it to me and i'll dispose of it.
  • @ryanscott717
    If you cant handle me at my "El Cheapo," you dont deserve me at my "The Overkill"
  • You should do one of these every 6-12 months with the latest gear identifying where some of the older stuff you covered before has come down in price so they can now fit into the lower priced rigs.
  • @Fabian-mu3hq
    you should've named the last one: "your left kidney"

    Glow up & overkill: the PC in your dream. Gentleman: the PC you need. Mid-Ranger: the PC you realistically can have. Athlete: the PC you ask your parents to buy for you. El Cheapo: the PC they buy for you.

    Man, this video came out as I was getting bigger into computers and pc related hobbies, and it feels good to come back to this with a wealth of knowledge and a 4090. Old raptor would be so happy to see what we have only 3 years later!

    17:35 "Look how sharp it looks" Looks at 480p video on a 1366*768px laptop screen.
  • @EchoRegalia
    I loved the dual hosting in this video, felt a lot more like two presenters rather than one presenter and the guy who did all the work
  • @chrisw8069
    This should be something you guys do yearly. Love the names of the builds.

    03/2022 - 7:04 An RX 580 for $175? That is a price from a different age. Today you still have to play on an APU if you want to stay in this budget.

    "Nobody needs 32gbs of ram" Chrome: "And I took that personally."
  • @RocZi
    oh yeah? my overclocked intel HD graphics run solitaire on 200 fps during the fountain burst
  • @thunderfps7744
    I have watched this video a thousand times for my build thanks linus
  • I can’t believe this came out 2 years ago. My lord. Thank you for getting me interested in computers, Linus :)
  • @spacet1me
    Applause for Riley's introductions to the PCs, loved it.
  • @edstuff9526
    Please do a updated version of this! We need it.
  • @jackalack7234
    the introductions to the pcs are the best part of the video
