CPU’s
This cpu is actually one of my favorite budget friendly options. Now, I’m not going to say it’s cheap because we still don’t want to build a potato but this is one of the best bang for your buck processors on the market in my opinion. I have personal...
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
This specific processor is one I used in a build for a buddy of mine. It’s only a tiny bit slower than the 9 5900x but it’s almost half the price. This cpu is even MORE budget friendly. Def something you should try out if you want something decent bu...
AMD Ryzen 7 5700
Motherboard’s
This pairs nicely with the ryzen 9 5900x. This is what I use in my current build and it works PHENOMENALLY well. I’ve been using the same motherboard for 2 years and it’s still running like a champ. My personal board is white and black and it is beau...
ROG STRIX B550-F gaming
This motherboard is the same situation as the processors. It offers slightly lower performance for a significant price cut over the Asus I have posted. It is compatible with the ryzen 7 5700 cpu I’ve posted as well. This is by far one of the best ban...
B550 EAGLE WIFI6 Key Motherboard
Graphics cards
This is another item I’ve personally used myself and actually currently have paired with my asus rrog b550 f motherboard and ryzen 9 5900x and let me just say, it works SOOOO well for what I actually spent. I’m almost locked constantly at 240 when I ...
GeForce RTX 3060 WINDFORCE OC 12G
Ok, I know what you’re thinking… but hear me out. Lots of gamers have been using intel for years. They have had plenty of time to learn and adapt in the gpu world as well. This gpu is insanely good for the price, I have had the pleasure of installing...
Intel arc b580…. Trust me
AIO/Air cooler
Thermaltake actually makes amazing cooler options that won’t make your pockets cry. I personally used the 360mm version of this exact model for 2 years. It kept my pc running cool as a cucumber and not one time did it ever leak. 240 is slightly cheap...
TH240 ARGB Sync AIO Liquid Cooler
Thermaltake is actually an amazing brand. This specific air cooler is an awesome alternative to liquid cooling. This is by far one of the best, if not the best budget option for better cooling performance without even breaking 30 bucks kept the pc I ...
TT air cooler that won’t break the bank
SSD
Let’s be honest here, nothing beats an m.2 ssd for storage. They’re low profile, offer the best performance and honestly make wire management that much easier. The beautiful thing about this budget item, is they are stackable. Obviously 500GB isn’t i...
Barracuda Q5 | 500GB
Power supply
Ok, when we’re talking about power supplies. We have to be cautious!! Remember, this is what supplies the entire system with the correct amount of power. Too much, fried, too little, it just won’t work properly if at all. Budget psu’s that you can tr...
Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 V2 Full Modular PSU
Ram
Corsair Ram. You read that correctly yes, no, you aren’t dreaming. I know Corsair is a top contender in the pc world but now you know they offer budget friendly components as well. No you aren’t going to be able to operate complex video software with...
VENGEANCE® LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz
Cases
Now we get to the fun part. You need something to put all of the components you just bought in. This is a great option and honestly for the price, I’m surprised it looks this good. Gorgeous 3D front screen for that extra “edge” on your setup. It come...
Y70 - Our New ATX PC Case - Snow White
This case is another goodie I’ve used in the past. It’s got good airflow and magnet covers on the front and top that let you clean it soooo much easier. Personally I think this case is cheaper than it should be and definitely recommend it
Budget pc case
Keyboard
I would HIGHLY recommend this keyboard. This is my exact keyboard sitting on my desk as I type this to you. The sound quality is amazing, it’s extremely responsive and the best part about it. Corsair charges $150 but the link to Amazon, this will tak...
K65 PRO MINI RGB 65% Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
This is another FANTASTIC keyboard for the price range. This keyboard lasted me about a year and a half back when I raged at video games and would smack the keyboard when I got angry so if it could withstand me, I’d give it5 stars😂
Logitech G213 Prodigy
Mouse
I absolutely LOVE this mouse. I’ve been using it going on 2 years now and it’s so nice. Not too heavy nor too light, it fits in the palm nicely and is extremely responsive.
Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse
I use these exact skates and this exact mouse and let me tell you. I can’t even tell the difference between these and the $48 set I’ve used in the past. With the lighter mouse these skates make my mouse GLIIIIIIDE so smoothly I can’t even put it into...
immoenuc Glass Mouse Skates for Logitech G305/304
Desk
I know my list says of an periferals and I’m not sure if a desk counts but man I’m glad I found this thing. It’s sturdy, nice and wide, not too deep and the perfect height. This desk has made my pc life a million times better considering I was on a f...
63” gaming desk that’s PERFECT
Microphone
This little guy blew me away. The quality in my recordings are phenomenal. The fact that this thing is only about $30 is actually insane. You get similar to a studio Mic quality (SIMILAR) for next to nothing
FIFINE Gaming mic is a STEAL
Mousepad
I wouldn’t call this a “budget” mousepad but omg it’s amazing. I never realized how much a mousepad could affect performance until my fiancé bought me this on our anniversary. This thing is a GOD SEND. And it’s still around $25
Razer Gigantus V2 mousepad
Chair
This chair is so nice I can’t even do it justice. This thing is so comfortable, it’s got great support, a foot rest AND IT RECLINES. I used to kick back and watch movies in it on my pc and would fall asleep😂
