Project WESTMERE - $327 USED PC Ft. The i7-???

2016-02-15
to creep up you guys have requested the used PC builds and today I'm giving you yet another build this is a three hundred and twenty seven dollar used PC build welcome back to tech est this is brian coming to you guys today with the Westmere Dominator this is the 32 nanometer twenty dollar CPU that has four cores eight threads and it's an absolute beast there is one problem though you have to get the x58 motherboard which is usually a little bit expensive but I managed to pick up one for pretty cheap so without further ado I'll go through all the parts that I'm going to be using on this build today so starting from top to bottom we have the case and power supply this is an Animax case and I managed to pick up this with a power supply for twenty dollars never heard of that brand of sue before but it does provide 480 watts on the 12 volt line below that we have two 250 gigabyte hard drives which we picked up shipped for $50 to the left that we have 12 gigabytes of ddr3 memory which we picked up for 53 dollars shipped and then to the left of that is the most special part of this build this is the e 50 640 which we picked up for $19 this is a 4 core 8 threaded CPU 32 nanometer CPU this is what's going to make this build such a powerhouse today and then over to the right of the scene there we have the r9 270x which was had for around about $95 so very cheap there and a very capable card below that we have an x58 motherboard as rock extreme 3 which actually came with a I 7 920 which I'm yet to try out that came in at a hundred and eleven dollars shipped then besides that last part of the build is the thermal write cooler which I managed to pick up with a fan for 10 dollars shipped so that brings the total of this build to $320 and we can still sell the i7 920 and recoup some of the cost back without further ado let's clean up these parts and see how this bad boy runs or even if it does run No okay so before we put this in the rig we're just going to test it out and make sure that it fires up and it's all okay and then we shall after that start doing the build so let's give it a try now this actually has a power button on board so I don't have to short any pins with a USB stick like I usually do but let's see if we get a signal so if I should got a bias code right out there and yeah this board looks like it's working absolutely fine and see there we've got to boot there just going to check the bias P 2.8 as well so it's got the latest blasts on it so we won't actually have to flash the blouse as well so it's all ready to go this I 7 920 is good to change and let's see if the zeon works on this so anyway this time we'll actually put a cooler on the heatsink I do not recommend you do that like seriously at all because you will overheat your CPU in no time I was just lucky that I turned it off pretty much straight away so hopefully this boots up this is the e 650 640 so a new type of CPU and hopefully it works okay this is working cool saasy on e 5640 is being recognized there in the BIOS and turn that away and we're good to go so it's been recognized and we can start doing the build now memory is being recognized too which is awesome Hey like yes you you so there we have it the three hundred and twenty dollar Westmere PC is just absolutely killing it at 1080p csgo over two hundred frames per second GTA 5 and Just Cause 3 which are like two of the latest titles are just being handled absolutely fine at 1080p on a blend of medium and high settings there and then I am just absolutely impressed with what this build has to offer and keep in mind I still have to sell the i7 920 so that will probably bring this whole build under $300 and at that price I would have to say that this is by far my favorite build today with the performance being really snappy and some of the things I've done there like overclocking and raid zeroing the two hard drives make it even that much faster to date now another thing that makes this whole build so good is the $15 e 56 40s you guys could see there it is an absolute beast of the CPU scoring around 10k in the physics core in 3d fire strike also another thing is that there is no i7 variant of this CPU which makes it relatively unknown on the overclocking scene or even in the enthusiast taxine though you will have to get an x58 motherboard which costs around about $100 I was lucky enough to pick up an asrock extreme 3 with the i7 924 round about that price shipped and everything worked perfectly fine also another thing with the power supply since it didn't have the proper proprietary cables I had to splice off 4 wires off my ATX 24 pin and even though I don't recommend this it's still got the job done and I was able to save money and not have to go out and buy another power supply because this power supply is quiet it does push a lot of air and it does give out a decent amount of power especially on that 12 volt line though that's about it for me today guys if you enjoyed these used PC builds and you not really hit that like button share this video and whatnot and if you enjoy these kinds of videos and be sure to subscribe as I'll be definitely coming back to you guys with more in the future and I'll catch you in the next one peace out for now bye now I've got my West miss swag oh yeah
