together all your leftover lunch money and you are finally ready to build your first gaming rig but what do you choose AMD Intel we couldn't decide either so today we're going to be building not one but two budget-friendly gaming pcs each coming in at around a thousand us dollars 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 k-100 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard combines aluminum design with per-key RGB backlighting and their 44-zone three-sided light edge bar check it out today at the link below the build starts with one of the best budget cpus 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 priced products but in a more bite-sized package so instead of having six or 8 or 12 or 16 cores it's got just four cores but they're fast ones and like the rest of AMD's ryzen 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 b550 phantom gaming 4 from azrock isn't a high-end board but what it does have is an upgrade path so in addition to having a couple of m.2 slots for ssds it's got support for pci express gen 4 in both the top 16x slot and top SSD slot if we ever wanted to upgrade 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 necessarily make sense for a budget build but that doesn't mean it's not worth spending the extra you know 20 bucks or 30 bucks to have the ability to go that route in the future representing Intel we've got the core i3 10 100 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 of our other parts choices for example our motherboard we could have gone with the h470 phantom gaming 4 which does have another m.2 slot a couple more power phases as well as slightly better usb connectivity but because that didn't give us any overclocking potential and stepping all the way up to a z series chipset just wasn't in the cards at this price point we decided to save the what is it like 20 bucks 30 bucks something like that yeah the last key difference between our two systems is our memory for the AMD system we're using g skill rip jaws v and for the Intel system we're using g skill rip jaws v but at a slightly slower speed g-skill rightly pointed out when we requested memory for this project that the Intel system wouldn't be able to take advantage of anything higher than 2933 megahertz now because 3200 megahertz was exactly the same price at 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 about the 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 classic here 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 contact with the ihs of the CPU basically this has been the go-to for like 10 years for cheap and cheerful CPU cooling if you don't have an included cooler of course one common drawback with budget oriented coolers is that the installation is well let's just say it's some assembly required it's not difficult by any stretch of the imagination but it does take a little bit 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 top is to tie our fan cable in a nice little bow and plug it into the CPU fan header in line with our theme of building a pretty nice gaming machine without wasting any money we've gone with the evga 550 b5 power supply it's a decent quality unit with 80 plus bronze efficiency it's got a nice quiet fan that 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 a fully modular interface while there are a ton of other cases on the market we really like the 275r airflow for its good mix of price features and performance it's got a tempered glass side panel filtered air intake on the bottom excellent oh there you go airflow through the front three included 120 millimeter fans and really nice looking cable management that's going to give our build a really clean look when we're done this isn't by any means a step-by-step build guide but i also don't want to gloss over important stuff like this with budget boards you do still have to install your own i o shield which a lot of the time means bending these things and making sure that they'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 is it just cheaper to produce like external ones than to build them into the motherboard because it's not just the cost of the actual units it's like the tooling cost of creating the shroud and stuff because the i o is so different on every motherboard like we blew so much of this thousand dollar budget on the graphics card and the only way we can do that is by saving three bucks here and two bucks there okay for storage we normally steer clear of dram-less ssds for your operating system but in this case because we're looking for a reasonable amount of capacity faster than a hard drive and we don't want to spend any more than we have to the patriot burst 960 gig ticks a lot of boxes one thing we might recommend in 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 os off of an NVMe drive that you put in later at around 500 us dollars our MSI mech Radeon 5700 xt 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 for the buck to be had here it's got a fast GPU it's got 8 gigs of gddr6 memory and it doesn't have fancies like HDMI 2.1 or pci express gen 4 but if you want to play aaa 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 though it's like supported but i still think we can do better than 2933 which is what colin's gonna be stuck with with the Intel system there so we're just gonna go to oh yes drm frequency let's try 3 200. we could have saved our three dollars here though now that the machines are built it's time for the head-to-head showdown which of course means 1v1 but also with bots on our side so whatever don't worry about it csgo with my ryzen 3 i had a hard time running it anything higher than stock RAM settings and i couldn't tell you whether that's down to my particular chips integrated memory controller or my motherboard but that could be a significant disadvantage for my system right now in spite of the fact that i have fast RAM installed in it as for whether that's actually a competitive advantage i guess we'll find out soon enough no spring prank yes headshot you know what the bottom line is though regardless of who wins see that's what a nice winner i am yeah is like these are both great experiences i'm having a great time yeah i'm sure you're having a great time headshotting me every time you come around the corner something to note though is i'm actually hosting our server but cs go server is not like a super intensive workload by any stretch okay we're going dual berettas dual berettas boys wait what my my boss dead already what the i didn't do it no you really didn't your bot killed both of us oh she's kind of i kind of fear colin's blot more than him hey there's games that colin's good at this just doesn't happen to be one of them that's why i picked it so this is cool we're recording gameplay on our graphics card i'm running a server and we're both still running at like 200 250 FPS not too freaking shabby hey i've only got like an extra 20 FPS on you is it worth like having the other person on the server see if it's comparable i see what you're saying like to make sure that that's not a huge performance difference honestly to me it doesn't really affect the conclusion much here though because i'm looking at this going man for a thousand dollars boy can you ever get a whole hell 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 yeah there's nothing wrong with this gaming experience on either side and we can run some more benchmarks if you really want to know which one edges out the other so why don't we do that yeah which brings us perfectly to our next game where you might notice i've chosen a canned benchmark rather than a head-to-head battle got him seven three two one here we go oh wow you might have looked good in cs go but uh we're running at the same settings 1440p absolutely cranked and that Intel CPU is uh holding back the GPU a little bit here remember these systems are identical other than the CPU and then the motherboard obviously to go with it i mean i guess that's what an extra 100 bucks get you yes and no because if it wasn't for prices being driven up by the holiday madness and shortages on AMD cpus these would be basically the same darn price and we didn't have to go b550 we could have saved a buck and gone with a lower end chipset knowing that we would have to update the BIOS in order to get our third gen ryzen processor to work on it out of the box so we could have gone b 450 and been right around the same price okay now my minimums crossed you my low one percent FPS are way above this must have just been one frame this is clearly a better result low 0.1 percent even way better well with uh that crushing defeat let's open up 3dmark you already ran that right i did already run it so we can just load up the results perfect and you come out ahead yes in every possible way i'm glad you asked why that happened yes he didn't yet but he was going the reason is that synthetic benchmarks just cannot simulate every possible gaming scenario every game engine and every individual game using that engine can have different idiosyncrasies that run better or worse on different hardware and that's why we don't even talk about 3dmark in our graphics card and CPU reviews now if you're doing something like overclocking it's a valuable tool because it tells you on identical hardware am i faster than i was before or slower than i was before but it's not great for comparing non-identical hardware now let's actually carry on that theme and fire up cyberpunk illustrate that point AMD is actually coming slightly behind our Intel system in this particular game cyberpunk 2077 is about eight to ten percent slower on our AMD versus Intel system remember again using exactly the same graphics card and exactly the same settings we're running on the medium preset at 1440p i mean this is 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 is slightly ahead of the other it's going to come down to which games you want to play for my money i prefer the white box here and the reason is that it's got a more clear upgrade path but we also don't know for sure how rocket lake from Intel which is also going to be on that same lga 1200 socket is going to stack up which means no matter who comes out ahead AMD or Intel the big win is for you the consumer you know
