$125 Used GAMING PC - is 1080p Metro Last Light Possible?

2016-03-20
when I built my $70 csgo potato I didn't exactly extract the most out of the LGA 771 CPU that I used however this time around I am going to do just that I'm going to overclock the X 54 60 and then pop in a better graphics card and see the potential that the LGA 775 platform has to offer welcome back to check yes it is brian coming to you guys today with another build in the used pc department this time we're going with a 118 dollar pc so it is a little bit more expensive than that csgo potato that built before however this time around we're able to overclock the CPU and drop in a better graphics card so we can get some better performance so without further ado we are going to look at the prices of the pc parts then we're going to move on to the build and the benchmarks you you you you you you so that time to see if it boots okay please turn ok cool it's working awesome so we can see here we are getting a signal out of this and we're actually getting a message here that's quite common if you haven't had a motherboard power up in a long time it also can be an indicator that the SI 203 - battery I think is is pretty much dead so and since it is a really old motherboard we might replace that battery because we are overclocking and we do want to hold and store the values therefore the overclocks so there we have a guy's the benchmarks do all the talking when it comes to this PC that LGA 771 X 5460 at 4 gigahertz really was doing a fantastic job at playing all those games at 1080p I mean counter-strike csgo absolutely no problems even Metro last light was getting over 70 frames per second in the open-world environment at 1080p now this was a very impressive accomplishment I'll surprised when I saw this dota 2 was getting up and bugging absolutely fine on decent settings and then we had after that a four gig overclocked running really cool at under sixty degrees at 22 degrees ambient temperatures so this VC was an absolute bliss I was really impressed and it actually made me a big believer in the LGA 775 platform and also one other thing that I wanted to talk about with this line of CPU is the level 2 cache if you guys didn't know I think the CPU has 12 megabytes of level 2 cache on board which makes the gaming in my opinion very good especially on those older titles it was an absolutely blissful experience really smooth and it's better you know level 2 cache is better than level 3 it's closer to the CPU cores and it does a really good job and you've got 12 megabytes of that stuff loaded in these CPUs so they've got great potential when it comes to gaming and even playing some of those later titles like Metro last light now one thing that I would have liked to have added on to this build would have been a little bit more memory I'm pretty comfortable with 6 gigabytes nowadays before was kind of cutting it very thin even though the games did run really well for what it was worth anyway that's about it for me today guys if you have any questions or comments on the $118 PC then be sure to drop a cone in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can if you haven't already hit that like button and subscribe to check your city for more content like this and I'll catch you in the next one peace out for now bye yeah guys are gonna fashion about dudes bread pacing my bare finger and the CPU
