what's going on everyone a traditional build log will take place in this video today the total price coming in at around 560 USD so if you're interested in a budget oriented system this video might be for you now I have some older hardware like the GTX 760 I purchased from a fellow patreon actually for about 60 bucks and then we have a rising 3 1200 processor comes in around $90 that's new they have an asrock a be 350 gaming 4 that's about a hundred bucks or so we have an older corsair power supply the RM 750 X with some used red sleeve cables we have 8 gigs of T force ddr4 from Team Group this comes in about a hundred bucks and of course we want to upgrade that later to 16 but for now eight and a budget system is just fine oh yeah the big case back there this is actually from air oh cool this is what they call the cylon it comes in two about 50 to 60 bucks certainly nothing too fancy it is a budget oriented case and that's why it's in this video but it does still have some quality features like RGB accents up front you can control with a dedicated switch up here you even get look at this an acid II card reader both a full sized MIDI card as well as a micro SD card reader built into the system you have a power button reset switch all the goodies up top and yeah I mean it's pretty bare-bones in there but that's of course what you get when you buy a cheap case like this most of the time no tempered glass we do have an acrylic side panel though so we can see our goodies inside speaking of which let's go ahead and start throwing things in here and then we'll get to benchmarking and see just how well this system performs so I was pleasantly surprised by how well this PC performed given its price tag and how old the graphics card is the four gig buffer and the 7/16 definitely came through a lot us to pump in game settings just a bit more than we otherwise would have been able to and my target was around 60 FPS so if you games fell short of that and a few games surpassed that you know by quite a bit it really depends on the title and I try to keep those in game settings as consistent as possible with my previous benchmark so if you want to go back and look at those and see how my previous builds compared to this one you're more than welcome to do that I'll link a few those videos down below the first game I tested was play around owns battlegrounds this one's by far the most popular out there on the PC side of things and believe it or not people are actually building pcs strictly for pub G gaming so I wanted to test this one first see if it hit the mark or not and across the board I had settings set to medium except for foliage which is set to very low and then view distance set to very high and my average frame rate for this build came out to 50 fps I was actually pretty impressed with that that's not bad for a 1080p resolution which is pretty common that dropped to 40 FPS for the lowest one percent of frames and a 29 for the lowest point one percent of frames so we're still staying above 30 fps or right at 30 fps for even the worst case scenario which I would deem playable still I mean that's gonna be better than what you're gonna see on consoles for the most part and at 50 FPS for the average still really good considering we have our settings in game at you know pretty modest presets I would say medium is a pretty fair comparison because it's it's gonna be a run-of-the-mill setting that most people would use in game GT five and rise of the Tomb Raider performed in a similar fashion to pub G which I was fairly impressed with that means the pub she's come a long way from an optimization standpoint city skylines the universe sandbox two or the worst performers but these are very CPU intensive so our Rison three 1200 CP here was choked quite a bit witcher 3 was by far almost graphics intensive game so that's where the 764 gig model becomes our bottleneck and the best performer overall was doom but this game is just excellent in OpenGL in a general sense these framerate trends are fairly impressive we have what a 2 gen old Nvidia card in here it's not even a very powerful one I mean think about it like the 960 right from Maxwell was it was good enough for 1080p and it was really about if you went 1440p territory type a really dumb down settings that 760 was a right our worst performer than the 960 was just as a progression and the 760 here is doing very well this for Giga buffer I'm really glad we opted for that again just because we can bump in game settings where applicable like with doom I was testing this in the ultra preset and we were using around 4 gigs of VRAM there GTA 5 we also bordered on 4 gigs of ram so if you're looking for a used card which I recommend in this hostile market for graphics cards in particular I recommend at least 4 gigs of memory because more demanding games are released every day and you're gonna be using more that memory buffer despite having to dumb down some settings just in general even with the low presets you might still be using close to 4 gigs of ram so it's more or less becoming the minimum I would say in 2018 kind of want to call this one the sleeper build because if you just look at it from the outside it doesn't look too impressive although I do like the color coordination we've got going on inside but if you look at the price tag right 5 600 USD you're gonna think ok well this thing's gonna barely push out 1080p games and some pretty low in game settings but it actually does fairly well considering how much we spent on the graphics card for 160 bucks I'll admit that's a bit low for the you know the typical asking price for a 760 especially the 4 gig model but if you can find a deal like that maybe got a friend who has an old car that he's not using anymore you can maybe pitch them you know 50 bucks 100 bucks or if it's a good one then that's something that will get you your foot in the door right - PC gaming you want to spend a ton of money on inflated graphics cards now as usual you can find global links to all the parts used in this build in the video description I've also tied a few eBay listings in there for graphics cards in particular because I recommend buying used right now in today's market unless you buy a prebuilt or something that already comes packaged with the graphics card that's about the only time you'll really get a discount on those or a discount off of the inflated MSRP I guess I should say similar graphics cards for the red team would consist of maybe like the r7 three sixty or seventy three seventy the r9 280 you get my drift light the cards that were brand new maybe 200 bucks or so that are right now still around 200 bucks or so because people are asking outrageous sums of cash for them because they are selling at that price thanks to mining but if you want to spend around that much money and get a card like that they'll certainly save a lot of money especially if you don't want to spend you know $800 on a gtx 1070 which would be a really good bang for the buck graphics card in today's market that just doesn't exist so until those prices drop you use this away to go again around r7 370 territory for the AMD side and then something like a GTX 760 maybe a 960 or 970 from Nvidia would be a great entry-level graphics card from Nvidia side if that if you liked this video be sure let me know again some on a thumbs up I appreciate a thumbs down for the optically subscribe but if you have it already stay tuned for more content like this this is science studio thanks for building with us you
