  • It seems like a long time since we put together a budget gaming PC build from start to finish, so today I've done just that. It's not the best value for money system I've ever built, but after finding some decent individual deals on used parts, I just had to see what they could do. This is the £120 | £ PC.
    Main Specs:
    i5 750 Quad Core
    8GB DDR3 Memory
    HD 7870 VTX Radeon GPU
    Thanks for watching :)

    U should build pcs and resell them. Alot of people like me looking for budget pcs under 200 that can run games. I would definitely buy this if ur were selling.
    You can also make it a series of buildig and selling budget pcs. With ur large audience it would gaurantee content and sales, making you and ur subs happy.

      @@bdhale34 for the 1156 socket you can use xeons without any modification. The x3430 is 4 core 4 thread ($15) and the x3440 is 4 core 8 thread ($22). Anything higher that the x3440 is just a higher clock speed (x3450, x3470 etc). Also the xeons overclock better. I'd rather my brother use a high clock speed xeon (he cant overclock) than the i7 860 he has now.

    32gb is not gonna cut it, I tried 40gb and it was barely enough to do a Win 10 system update. I had to run disk cleaner right away to free up the old windows installation. I would recommend setting a minimal page file and disabling hibernation to save some space.

    • @gaunterodimm3606
      @gaunterodimm3606 Před 6 lety +27

      Yup, no one should use less than a 64gb SSD because of, OS bloat, OS updates, very heavy drive ware, programs that require OS drive installation, lower drive performance, and a 120gb is better and gets rid of these problems at a insignificantly higher cost, Buying less than a 64gb SSD makes no sense for any reason on a Windows 64 bit install.

    • @jameo3606
      @jameo3606 Před 6 lety +19

    *Never use a 32gb SSD for Windows.* There is not enough room for programs that require installation on the OS drive and OS bloat. An over loaded OS drive can break windows updates. Over loaded SSD's run slower and die quicker. 64gb is the minimum and even that's really too little to make sense because of cost difference.

    • @thedandy6765

      @gaunterodimm3606 Před 6 lety +10

      Having a HDD only helps to an extent because things like antivirus, game dependencies(DirectX ext.), and chrome *require OS drive installation.* Just Windows and user files take up 25gb om my SSD. Add required OS disk installs and its more than 32gb Plus you need room for windows updates on your OS drive. A 32gb is not feasible with 64 bit Windows, especially on a gaming PC, and a 64gb is not really sensible because of cost. Only 120gb or bigger makes sense but if you can't afford 64gb or bigger you should not be buying an SSD any way.

    This is actually really impressive, I never thought these kinds of outdated specs could run modern games relatively well. I had an outdated system couple of years back and those specs technically were better than these but turns out they weren't just configured properly and I had thought I needed a really powerful pc to run modern titles decently. How wrong I was, but watching your channel really helped me understand pc components and their compatibility a lot better and at this point in time I build my own pc's and help others aswell, as the matter of fact I'm building my cousin a gaming pc in a couple of weeks. I have already planned out a system for his budget and I'm just waiting for parts to arrive so I can build it. Anyway, thanks for all the knowledge you share with us, at least for me, it has helped a ton.

    My recent hauls:
    Acer M5830 (3GB RAM, Q6600, 750GB HDD, HD3450) -> 10€ because broken, fixed it by applying thermal paste, which was gone.
    Dell Optiplex 980 (i7 920, 8GB DDR3, 160GB HDD and... a GT6600!?) -> 45€
    Another Acer (i3 520 or so, 6GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, HD5750 iirc) -> 22€ (broken card reader caused it to boot slowly), already shoved in a i5-680 i had left from a upgrade to a Xeon.
    Sun Ultra 24 (Core2Extreme QX9650, 4GB DDR2, 2x NVS290, 250GB HDD) -> 15€ (had no display because didnt like the 2 NVS290).
    Dell T5400 (X5420, 8GB RAM, NVS290, 250GB HDD) -> 15€ (had a error because someone enabled all SATA connections in BIOS even tough nothing was connected on them)
    Lenovo Thincentre E72 (i3-2100, 4GB DDR3, 160GB HDD)+ 17" Montior -> 40€ (I only needed the Monitor and figured I could re-sell it for 40€ :P)
    HP 8200 Elite (i5-2400, 6GB DDR3, 500GB HDD)
    +
    Custom PC (i5-4460, 4GB DDR3, 1TB WD RED NAS with like 300 hours and 35 starts)
    +
    2 old PCs from which I salvaged the PSUs+Cases and a 123,5GB PATA HDD.... and a 0,5GB PATA HDD, which I couldn't bring myself to throw away...
    +
    1 Case with a naked Asus MB in it. It can only handle up to Core2Duo, so I gave it a E4600 along with 4x 512MB DDR2 (had them flying around) and one of the PSUs.
    +
    A crate full of random electronics, including a working 7600GS
    = Fuel Cost of maybe 5€, they were due for scrap from a Biolab... unfortunately there was no Data on how to create a Girlfriend.
    Also for 5€ fuel, I got bunch of really poor old PCs (hoping to make such a haul again),
    but only managed to make a PC with 1GB RAM and a Pentium E2220... and it suddenly had Win10 from a digital license when I threw in one of my old 80GB PATA HDD. Also salvaged a couple PSUs from FSB Group (they're not too bad), a Seasonic PSU, a 80GB 2,5" SATA HDD, a 160GB 3,5" PATA, 1 Case (another one used for the Pentium PC), 3 case fans and ... blue LEDs that connect to a 4 Pin Molex (from a ancient Siemens PC which illumineted the 3 holes on the front/bottom). Among the stuff was a Lenovo Thinkpad X61 (with 80gb HDD), which IMO is a really cool design... but I couldn't test it yet, because I don't have the PSU >_<
    Oh yeah... almost forgot a Gigabyte 1150 MB+CPU Cooler, but it has some bend pins...

      66º peak, 1200 core clock and 1750 memory. Downclocked it by 44mhz from stock and undervolted it from 1.150mV to 0.900mV and it's using a whopping 77-88 watts (150w TDP), stable in a few games i've tried such as DOOM, MH:W, Hunt Showdown, For Honor, Yakuza 0 for long sessions.
      I've never gotten a mining GPU before nor seen one benchmarked or used in gaming.

    Got the build bug myself, aided by a LGA1155 motherboard in a bundle of stuff - that worked after a little pin surgery.
    Add £60 i7-3770 (non-K, but the board doesn't support K OC anyway), and then moved a GPU category higher than I'd originally planned, with a £174 GTX 1060 6GB - I'd been sliding towards a 3GB from a GTX970, but took an ebay punt (sniped a £175 bid in with a few seconds to go)…
    Not exactly a budget system. but a fair bit of system for the budget, as it will re-use the 8GB kit from my AMD - and the AMD will get back the 4GB kit it had originally (it WAS going to be 12GB, but the innermost slot was fouled by the heatsink).
    My real quandary, do I give the new build the Coolermaster Elite 330 case from the old, and move old faithful into the cheapest case I can find, or do I give the new build a new case, thinking of going PSU at the bottom... PSU and drives are going to the new build, so if I re-use the old case, I just gut the motherboard out of it, and the alternative is the motherboard stays and everything else gets swapped, Hmm, actually I might use a different DVD-R.
    As it stands, it has a Samsung SH-S233L as the main drive and a Liteon IDE SHW-1635S as a scanning drive (already got an IDE PCI-E card to add that to the new board). As an alternative, my bundle also included several more IDE DVD-Rs, a Sony/Optiarc AW-G170A (that has scanning capability) and a LG GSA-H55N that handled my somewhat degraded test disc as if there was nothing wrong with it. The Optiarc cannot do a TA scan, which the Liteon can - of course, my holy grail would be a Philips/Benq which had possibly the best scanning capability other than Plextor

And be less of a bottleneck. Mine handled a 280x with no issues bit as becoming a limiting factor with 280x crossfire.

    I bought a Dell Optiplex 9020 for 120bucks, came with a core i5 4570, 4gb ddr3 ram, 500Gb hard drive and a dvd-rw drive. Bought 8gb of additional ram and bought a GTX 1050 for 160 bucks new. It can game everything at high settings 1080p around 60fps. These prebuilt Dell systems are amazing.

      Uhh they have problems. The prepriatory form factor motherboard and power supply and the fact the case can't be reused. Lenovo tend to have better ones as only their sffs have the prepriatory psus. I would advise against using one of them. If you want anything that needs pcie power connectors you're screwed.

      Thats not bad. I have a phenom II X4 965 BE and overclocked it to 3.7GHz. It will bottleneck at CPU-intensive games like AC Black Flag and AC Unity though. Get an i5-2500k when you can, that beast just refuses to die and overclocked to a mild 4.4GHz can match Haswell and even some 7th gen i5 performance. With liquid cooling and a good board, you can go 4.8+ too!

    Just a headsup for people looking into the masterbox lite series. It's a terribly ventilated case and should not be used with any higher powered components since this will cause serious overheating due to the terrible ventilation. The reason the 7870 here works is because it's a blower style cooler and therefor doesn't dump it's air back into the case which helps a lot in the masterbox.

    you should just show your in-game settings menu, "a couple of things set on high" can have a huge impact on framerate. Are the shadows set to high? Shadows are a massive framerate dropper for example. Some other settings barely matter at all. Showing the settings would make it all very clear

    Sometimes ECC RAM from a server can be found very cheaply. I got 12GB of DDR3-1066 for $30. It's not always compatible with non-ECC systems, but it worked for my crappy eMachines project system.
