what's up guys welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well so a couple weeks back if you guys remember wifey sauce and I got together and curated a list for a $400 gaming PC on amazon.com and shortly after that we bottle the parts and I actually had wifey sauce assembled the PC all on her own I'm very proud of her and we ran some tests on this 400 dollar system while it's not going to give you the highest end experience when it comes to gaming it sure is a great way to get your foot in the door when it comes to PC gaming if you don't have the money to throw down on a mid-range to high-end system the target resolution and sort of experience that we're going for today is 1080p 60fps and I think for most people that's a comfortable experience especially given the price point of today's rig so why don't we go ahead and check it out let me grab the camera right here and show off the exterior of the system first off with the chassis now this is not the case that we initially picked out in the part 1 video which you can go ahead and check out in the cards the initial case that we found was like a beige box that looked like it was about a hundred years old but then we found this olá vetti not exactly sure what the model number is off the top of my head but I'll leave links to all these parts in the description below guys if you want to check that out but it's a fantastic little case for about 35 bucks I think we paid for it and it did include a power supply which is generally not the best sign but when you're talking about a $400 gaming PC that's exactly what we were looking for it's actually not a bad looking case for the price I mean you've got some nice LED action here blue power button and some backlit red logo right there got these nice little hidden flaps you got two USB two and your audio and mic I know no USB three it's quite a sin but again for two bucks guys 400 bucks but it is a very light case it's got it's got sort of these feet that are that are sort of angled it makes the case look like it's sort of at a slant which is not my favorite but you know I do like the fact that there's some ventilation on the side panel here just a little bit by the graphics card let's go ahead and pop this guy off and see how wifey sauce did on her first ever unsupervised PC build look at that she did a fantastic job with cable management I mean with what she had to work with which was this crappy little case and you know bad power supply with just these awful cables look at this thing I don't think I could have done a better job with this myself she did a really nice job actually take a look at the back the back she even more impressive look at she did this she did all this cable management I didn't tell her to to use zip ties or to use these the tie-down points she just did a fantastic job very proud of her I think I'm gonna have her build everything from now on I hope she's cool with that but let's dive into some of the tech specs here starting with our CPU which is the Intel G 45 60 dual-core processor at a fixed 3.5 gigahertz this is a lock CPU so we're running at that clock speed for the entirety of today's tests we've also got a beautiful motherboard from gigabyte this is the H this H 110 M MDOT - I think but for memory we've got eight gigs we got two four gig sticks now initially I was good I was just gonna run with one a single a single four gig stick thinking that I could scrape by I'm so glad that I went with a dual channel kit giving us eight gigs in total of this not course they're crucial memory just because there are so many games these days that will max that out so very glad that we went that out that route look at this and how many $400 gaming pcs can you say has an m2 SSD just chill in there in the motherboard slot not many but unfortunately it's not an nvme that would have taken a miracle to pull off still 128 gig for a boot drive SATA based m2 SSD from electronics probably a Chinese awayin brand I've never heard of but but there you go this thing boots in twenty four seconds guys 400 RPC booting in 24 seconds and well it would have been super cool to get a 250 gig in there it just was not working for our budget but at least 128 gives us plenty of room for the operating system and a few minor programs can't forget about mass storage though so we've got a one terabyte WD caveat green which was already formatted and stuff lenin was named BB when I first got this was sold to me as new but it's clearly used and has been has been funneled with in the past and I don't like that makes me feel uncomfortable and we've got our graphics card here gtx 10:50 from msi this is not a TI now I did overclock this guy we put a 100 megahertz offset on the core clock 300 megahertz offset on the memory clock I believe we were boosting on the core clock up to about 1700 and 84 megahertz if I remember correctly and our memory clock speed was just over 1900 now one of the great things about entry-level budget oriented gaming PC's is that they typically don't get very hot or loud and this system right here is no exception we were only seeing about 50 degrees C on our G 45 60 here which is fantastic because those cooler temperatures means that the fan on the CPU cooler here the stock cooler from Intel does not have to spin up as fast and so the system stays very very quiet as Elmer Fudd would say we've also got decent thermals on the graphics card not heating up more than 68 69 degrees Celsius at any given time under load which is super fantastic overall this is a quiet and cool running system but is it a well performing one I ran six different titles at 1920 by 1080 and this was of course using the latest wiffle driver from Nvidia which I will pop up right there now as you go about viewing the benchmarks guys be sure to keep in mind what quality settings we were running for each game because it does change from game to game based on what the system is able to handle but for the most part we were able to run most titles at high settings no problem so on that note without further ado ladies and gentlemen here are the performance marks for our $400 Amazon gaming PC alright so there you guys have it what do you guys think of these results I'm very curious to hear your thoughts 400 dollars with a forty dollar system this is about the price of a modern-day console but I feel like the experience is a bit richer and it's it's a full-blown PC so there's just so much more that you can do with it in general but I don't know would you call this a console killer I didn't put it in the title or anything because I didn't really have that in mind when I went into this video but would you consider this a console killer with the with the performance that we're seeing today and honestly the performance is is great I mean we're seeing well above 60 fps in certain games that are pretty easy to run like overwatch and csgo I'm sure like dota 2 and stuff like that would also do really well League of Legends and that sort of thing and then even even the more demanding titles at high settings we're seeing around 60 FPS on average 1% lows we're all above 30 FPS with 0.1% lows just sometimes I think in one or two games like pub G which isn't very well optimised in the first place we're seeing below 30 FPS with 0.1% lows but for the most part average frame rates and frame times we're looking pretty solid again for $40 guys let me know what you think of this PC in the comments below that is gonna do it for now guys be sure to toss me a look on the video if you enjoyed it you can also check out bit wit ultra my ad-free early access channel for a buck 50 a month the first two weeks are completely free and you can back out any friggin time as always I'm thank you guys so much for watching and subscribe to the channel for more tech stuff coming at you really soon like seriously some really good stuff I've got these two ultra rods right here from Asus that are getting installed very shortly that's gonna be a fun video we've got a studio tour coming soon 43 inch monitor yeah that's fun I'm gonna go edit this video now before working on the rest of this stuff but thank you guys again so much for joining me today I will see you all in the next video
