Come on, here’s the recipe

PC Concoction

It has just been announced in Indonesia that this AMD brand PC part immediately grabs the attention of Budget-oriented PC Gamers. Very competitive price of 800 thousand plus a very low TDP of 35 W! making this PC suitable for you PC gamers who don’t want to languish due to hardware prices and also rising electricity bills. Powered by 2 Core 4 threads and 3 GPU Cores, which means a total of 5 physical cores, this APU is capable of playing esports games such as CS: GO and Dota 2 with a resolution of 1080p Lowest setting or 720p on Medium setting. Although the Athlon 200GE APU cannot be overclocked, the performance of this APU is far from weak.

To become a place and home for the Athlon 200GE, you need to buy a motherboard with an am4 socket, and also to press the Budget but still complete in terms of display output, this time we chose the Biostar A320mMH Pro AM4 series. Maybe from doubt or underestimate the Biostar brand. However, the author’s experience that has been and is currently using a Biostar motherboard from the beginning of 2017, has not experienced any problems when paired with the G4560 from Intel. Support for Dual Channel Ram with a maximum capacity of 32 GB, USB 3.1 Gen1, making this Motherboard a suitable choice for those of you who are budget-bound.

The choice of Ram fell to the Corsair Brand. RAM is indeed now a component that has price fluctuations that continue to skyrocket. Limited stock but still high demand makes Ram-Ram a rare item on the market. Corsair DDR4 Vengenance is a ram that is fairly economical but still beautiful and powerful. With a speed of 2133mhz and equipped with a heatsink, it will beautify your PC later. Remember the stock of ram in the market is very limited, plan early if you want to save.

But why dual channel, why not single channel?

Indeed, single channels are much cheaper and there are also funds that can upgrade one more piece of ram. However, the factory designed ram for dual channel will be optimized and avoid many unwanted technical problems. Plus dual channel ram will reduce stuttering, and in the APU or Onboard GPU scenario it is highly recommended to use dual channel, because the FPS difference is very much felt. Also 8GB being the gaming minimum in 2018.

SSD It can be said to be a tertiary need when viewed from the needs or profession of the PC owner. However, with limited funds, SSD seems to be the right choice for those of you who need a fast PC load at a low price. Initially, the choice fell on the Galax Gamer L series SSD because it was indeed a good price to performance during the anniversary series, but it seems that we recommend the KLEVV SSD NEO 120GB more for you. Fill it with windows and some games seems to be enough for you to play, next time you can add a 1TB HDD.

A brand that is quite foreign to PC gamers’ ears, this brand has recently entered Indonesia. Already perched on tier 2 of the Power Supply tier ladder and also 80 plus certificates should make you believe in this PSU. Components from Japan and braded cable further add to the solid feel of this PC. The price is affordable but not canned, making this PSU worthy to be co-opted.

The Cube Gaming series has indeed become one of the author’s favorite casing brands. Apart from being a brand that is rarely used in internet cafes, it feels a bit Indie, but also the features offered are not minimal. You can replace the PSU with the casing if you decide to buy the Andysone PSU, because the PSU with the casing is not recommended. There is a slot to make an SSD which is quite rare in low budget casings so that it adds features to this case. At that price, you certainly can’t expect more. However, if the shipping case feels very expensive, it’s still recommended to buy a case in your hometown around you.

So what can you play besides Esports?

One of the youtube channels that always contributes to modern gamers is Low Spec Gamers, where they are struggling with cutting the graphics quality as much as possible so that the game can be played as playable as possible. In this case, the game Doom (2016) can even be played with 720p 80% internal resolution scaler, but shadow must be removed by setting in the config, because shadow does feel very heavy when handled by an APU.

The FPS that is obtained is also not kidding, 40-50 fps can be produced easily making the Doom game feel very playable. The surprising result is that Athlon 200GE is able to play Far Cry 5 which is actually a new game with an average FPS of 30 which is very playable.
