- You've saved your box tops, fished under the couch cushions and pulled together allyour leftover lunch money and you are finally ready tobuild your first gaming rig. But what do you choose? AMD, Intel? We couldn't decide either. So today, we're goingto be building not one, but two budget friendly gaming PCs, each coming in at around US$1000, and we're gonna put them head to head, to see just how they perform. That is, after we perform,this message, for our sponsor. The Corsair K100
RGBmechanical gaming keyboard combines aluminum designwith perky RGB backlighting and they're 44 zone threesided light edge bar. Check it out today at the link below. (electric music) The build starts with oneof the best budget CPU's on the market right now,the AMD Ryzen 3 3100. What's so great about this is it uses the same Zen 2 architecture as their higher price products but in a more bite sized package. So instead of having sixor eight or 12 or 16 cores, it's got just four cores,but they're fast ones and like the rest ofAMD's rise and lineup, there's full support for overclocking. Compared to our CPU, our motherboard is an area where we actually went beyond the bare minimum though. To be clear, the B550Phantom Gaming 4 ASROCK isn't a high end board,but what it does have is an upgrade path. So in addition to havinga couple of M.2 slots for SSDs, it's got supportfor PCIe express Gen 4 in both the top 16 X slot and top SSD slot If we ever wanted toupgrade the graphics card. And it's got out of the box compatibility with Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 Series Processors, which up until this point have such high core counts and high prices that they don't necessarilymake sense for a budget bill. But that doesn't mean it'snot worth spending the extra you know, 20 bucks or 30 bucks to have the ability to gothat route in the future. Representing Intel, we'vegot the Core i3-10100. Just like our AMD competitor, it's got four cores and eight threads, but unlike our AMD competitor, it is not capable of overclocking at all, which did inform some ofour other parts choices. For example, our motherboard. We could have gone withthe H470 Phantom Gaming 4 which does have another M.2 slot, a couple more power phases as well as slightlybetter USB connectivity. But because that didn't giveus any overclocking potential and stepping all the wayup to a Z series chipset just wasn't in the cardsat this price point, we decided to save the, whatis it like 20 bucks, 30 bucks? Something like that, yeah. The last key differencebetween our two systems is our memory. For the AMD system, we'reusing G Skill Ripjaws V and for the Intel, we'reusing G Skill Ripjaws V. But at a slightly slower speed. G Skill rightly pointed out, when we requested memory for this project that the Intel System wouldn'tbe able to take advantage of anything higher than 2933 megahertz. Now, because 3200 megahertz was exactly the same priceat current promo pricing, we opted to go for that anyway. With that out of the way, to save you guys some time and boredom, we're going to talk aboutthe rest of the parts with just one of the systems, the AMD one while Colin assembles the other one on the counter over there. Let's start then with the cooler. We've gone with a classichere, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Hyper 212 EVO V2. It's got a 120 millimeter fan. It's a tower design with four heat pipes and they make direct contactwith the IHS of the CPU. Basically, this has been the go to for like 10 years for cheapand cheerful CPU cooling, if you don't have an included cooler. Of course one common drawbackwith budget oriented coolers is that the installation is, well let's just say it'ssome assembly required. It's not difficult by anystretch of the imagination, but it does take a littlebit more time than something like a knock to a cooler. Once it's on there though. Hey, that looks pretty freaking great, and the cherry on topis to tie our fan cable and a nice little bow and plugit into the CPU fan header. In line with our theme of building up pretty nice gaming machinewithout wasting any money, we've gone with the EVGA 550 B5 supply. It's a decent quality unitwith 80 plus bronze efficiency. It's got a nice quiet fanthat can even be turned off. That's right my friends, it's got a silent fan mode and it's one of the most inexpensive units on the market with afully modular interface. While there are a ton ofother cases on the market, we really liked the 275R Airflow for it's good mix of price,features and performance. It's got a tempered glass side panel, filtered air intake onthe bottom, excellent, oh, there you go, airflowthrough the front, three included 120 millimeter fans and really nice looking cable management that's gonna give ourbuild a really clean look when we're done. This isn't by any means astep by step build guide, but I also don't wanna glossover important stuff like this. With budget boards, you do still have toinstall your own IO shield which a lot of the timemeans bending these things and making sure thatthey're not in the way, once the motherboard actually goes in. Try not to cut yourself, this is like the highest probability of cutting yourself part of... Dang it. - [David] Is it just cheaperto produce external ones than to build them into the motherboard. - 'cause it's not just thecost of the actual units. It's like the tooling cost ofcreating the shroud and stuff, 'cause the IO is so differenton every motherboard. Like we blew so much ofthis thousand dollar budget on the graphics card. And the only way we can do that is by saving three bucks hereand two bucks there, okay? (laughing) For storage, we normally steer clear as the roundless SSDs foryour operating system. But in this case, because we're looking for areasonable amount of capacity, faster than a hard drive, and we don't wanna spendany more than we have to, the Patriot Burst 960gig takes a lot of boxes. One thing we might recommendin the future as an upgrade when you've got a bit of extra budget, is switch over to using your SATA SSD just for your game drive and run your ROS off of an NBME drivethat you put in later. At around US$500, our MSI MECH Radeon 5700XT represents about half of our total budget. But given that this is a gaming machine, not a video editing PC or 3D modeling PC, I think that is more than justified and there's a lot of bang forthe buck to be heard here. It's got a fast GPU, it's goteight gigs of GDDR6 memory and it doesn't have fancies like HTMI 2.1 or PCIe express Gen 4. But if you want to play triplea games at anywhere from, I'd say up to 1440p, this is your ticket. Unfortunately, attempting to enable XMP and get it running at DDR4 3600 was a no go, even thoughit's like supported. But I still think wecan do better than 2933, which is what Colin isgonna be stuck with, with the Intel System there. So we're just gonna go to, oh yes, do you run frequency? Let's try 3200. Oop, I could have savedour $3 here though. (laughing) Now that the machines are built, it's time for the head to head showdown, which of course means one V1, but also with bots on our side, so whatever, don't worry about it. See us go--- Yeah. - With my Ryzen 3. I had a hard time running it. Anything higher than stock RAM settings. And I couldn't tellyou whether that's down to my particular chipsintegrated memory controller or my motherboard, but that could be asignificant disadvantage for my system right now, in spite of the fact that Ihave fast RAM installed in it. As for whether that's actuallya competitive advantage, I guess we'll find out soon enough. (laughing) Argh, no. We aren't playing. Yes, headshot. You know what the bottom line is though, regardless of who wins. So that's what a nice winner I am. - Yeah, of course. - Is like, these areboth great experiences. I'm having a great time. - Yeah, I'm sure you're havinga great head shooting me every time you come around the corner (laughing) - Something to note though is I'm actually hosting our server. But CSGO servers is not likea super intensive workload by any stretch. Okay, we're going duelberettas, duel berettas boys. Wait, what? My, my boss dead already, what the... - [Collin] I didn't do it. - No, you really didn't. Your bot killed both of us. I kinda fear Colin's bot more than him. (laughing) - Oh no. - It is games that Colins good at-- - Listen.- This just doesn't happen to be one of them. That's why I picked it. So this is cool. We're recording gameplayon our graphics card, I'm running a server, and we're both runningit like 200, 250 FPS. Not too freaking shabby, hey. - I've only got extra 20 FPS on you. - [David] Is it worth havingthe other person on the server to see if it's comparable? - I see what you're saying, like to make sure that's nota huge performance difference. Honestly, to me it doesn't really affect the conclusion much here though, because I'm looking at this going, then for a thousand dollars, boy can you ever get a wholehell of a lot of gaming? Like this 1440p absolutely maxed out, yeah, it's an esports title, but you are getting an extremely competitive experience here. - [Colin] Oh, there's nothing wrong with this gaming experience. - On either side and we canrun some more benchmarks if you really wanna knowwhich one edges out the other. So why don't we do that?- Yeah. - Which brings usperfectly to our next game where you might notice I'vechosen a canned benchmark rather than a head to head battle. (laughing) Got them. And, three, two, one, here we go. Oh wow. You might've looked good and see us go, but we're running at the same settings 1440p absolutely cranked. And that Intel CPU is holding back the GPU a little, little bit here. Remember, these systems areidentical other than the CPU. And then the motherboard,obviously to go with it. - [Colin] Man, I guess that's what an extra ahundred bucks got you. - Yes I know, because if it wasn't for prices being drivenup by the holiday madness and shortages on AMD CPU's, these would be basicallythe same darn price. - [Colin] Yeah. - And we didn't have to gowe could have to go B 550. We could have saved a buck and gone with a lower end chipset, knowing that we wouldhave to update the bios in order to get ourthird Gen Ryzen Processor to work on it out of the box. So we could've gone B 450 and been right around the same price. Okay. Now, we have-- - [Colin] My minimums crushed you. - My low 1% FPS are way above. This must have just been one frame. This is clearly a betterresult, low 0.1% even. Way better. - Well, with that crushingdefeat, let's open up 3Mark. - You already ran that, right? - I did already run it. So we can just load up the results. - Perfect. And you've come out ahead. - [Colin] Yes. - [Linus] In every possible way. I'm glad you asked why that happened. - [Colin] Yes.- He didn't yet. But he was going to.- I was going. - The reason is that synthetic benchmarks just cannot simulate everypossible gaming scenario. Every game engine andevery individual game using that engine can havedifferent idiosyncrasies that run better or worseon different hardware. And that's why we don'teven talk about 3DMark in our graphics card and CPU reviews. Now, if you're doingsomething like overclocking it's a valuable tool, because it tells you on identical hardware and am I my faster than I was before or slower than I was before. But it's not great for comparingnon-identical hardware. Now, let's actually carryon that theme and fire up Cyberpunk 2077.- (indistinct) - To illustrate that point, AMD is actually coming slightlybehind our Intel System in this particular game. Cyberpunk 2077 is abouteight to 10% slower on our AMD versus Intel System. Remember again, using exactlythe same graphics card and exactly the same settings. We're running on themedium preset at 1440p. - [Colin] I mean, thisis pretty indicative. And I mean, as we're sitting here like I'm cooler and also faster. - I didn't even notice that you were running cooler right now. How's our 99th percentile. Oh wow, you're way ahead in that. Okay, well that's pretty much it. That's the conclusion. For a thousand bucks, you can get a fantastic gaming experience whether you decide to go AMD or Intel. As for which one isslightly ahead of the other, it's gonna come down towhich games you wanna play. For my money, I prefer the white box here. And the reason is that, it'sgot a more clear upgrade path but, we also don't know forsure how Rocket Lake from Intel, which is also gonna be onthat same LGA 1200 socket is going to stack up. Which means no matter whocomes out ahead, AMD or Intel the big win is for you, the consumer. You know what else is a big win? Me telling you about our sponsor.

(electric music) This is looking prettycompelling, just saying. I'm not going all PCMR on it. I'm just saying, to say... No, okay.
