      True. I mean, this graphics card itself had DDR2 Ram, while the basic RAM of the PC is DDR3. If the integrated GPU uses the regular RAM from the PC, then the theoretical memory bandwith is greater then this of GPU, meaning better theoretical performance...

    A while back I built a "decent" system from new egg for around 400 bucks. I wouldn't call it great, but it worked. And it was a good starting point that I upgraded as I went. As you guys have proven many times before, if you are trying to build something on the cheap used is normally the best way to go. Or I think most people that like to tinker are like me and have a lot of spare parts around they can use. So you are not always buying a complete system right off the start. I normally have a power supply, drives and video cards laying around I can use to get a system up and running until I can afford something better to swap out. If you are starting with nothing it makes things quite a bit more difficult.

      Probably didn't take out the hard drive just to show it in a clip. The one in the clip is probably a different hard drive.

    Oh gosh. This reminds me of my noob days with pc's when I ordered a dell OptiPlex on Amazon with intel hd graphics and trying to play new vegas at 20-25 frames. Went to Best Buy and with the rest of my part time check, purchased a gt 730 and thought I was a god, playing vegas at almost 45 frames lol

      If you’re on a budget a dell optiplex with a 750 ti or 1050 low profile is an amazing choice for under 300
