for a little while now you guys have wanted to see an old used price-performance PFD so over the last couple of months I've been picking up bugs here and there and today is going to combine all those bargains to make one kick off TC they can play even the latest titles at 1080p and welcome back to tech yes City this is brian coming to you guys today with a 175 dollar pc or if you're in australia was about two hundred and thirty australian dollars now there are some really good bargains in this pc that makes frame rates at 1080p perfectly playable on even games like pub g which is the latest players on known battlegrounds and even a game like dirt four but before we get onto the benchmarks we've got to build this thing and of course give it a tech yes city cleanse however before we do that we'll also check out the prices of the pots and which parts were the best and what made up this build to get such a good deal so now this is the part where a lot of people ask me how do I get such good performance out of my hardware all the time and this is where overclocking plays a huge role if all my parts are allowed to be overclocked then you can bet your bottom dollar that the yes-man going to be overclocking that and in this case the CPU out of the factory comes at two point six six gigahertz and I managed to get this thing up to four point one gigahertz stable it did go to four point two but it was unstable and even at four point one gigahertz the temperatures were really high even for this CPU line up they went into the 80 degree mark which on this lineup of CPUs was a little bit dangerous it's kind of like the maximum range you want to go on the CPU though as opposed to later generations you've got an extra 10 degrees Headroom now it's for the GPU the overclocks on this thing we're really terrible I could only get an extra 50 megahertz on the core though not to say that it's a bad overclock it's just that this graphics card the EVGA gtx 770 is aggressively overclocked out of the factory and then the memory I could only get an extra 200 megahertz out of the memory to do we have a guy's the benchmarks are in and this pc did a really good job dirt for high settings over 60fps csgo we're on this latest and greatest map I was on a boat I didn't know what I was doing so my first time playing the map and the minimums were still over a hundred FPS and a lot of times it was going into 200 FPS pray that did pretty well in that game if you want to play that at 1080p high then this PC can certainly do it and then on to a next game like Battlefield 1 and this is where some problems occurred because the FPS was okay at 1080p I mean I had to drop it to medium and it was in like the 70s PS soon but the problem was there's just no one on these servers I like tried for like a good half an hour to find a game with players in it and I couldn't find anything so I'm just wondering is battlefield one dead at the moment I'm not too sure so a little bit worried but the FPS is still good in this game if you want to play a bit of single-player battlefield one and then of course the last game we took a look at was players unknown battlegrounds very popular game at the moment and this PC did a pretty good job of running it not as good as some of the other pieces I have but for the money definitely a really damn good job I was surprised we're going around 60 FPS on medium settings and that was with the view distance set to ultra which is what a lot of people want that view distance setting out there wonders of other things with this build the open air case take it how you will but performance for the dollar here is really good there was no side panels included with this case and I personally don't mind as the deal that I got there was really good and also the deal on the motherboard extremely good and also the deal on that ex 3450 which you get off Aliexpress is really good too so just all came together with a lot of really good here and there and it just made one kick-ass gaming machine the temperatures were really controlled obviously it's like an open-air now with just the airflow from the outside ambient temperatures are cooling this pc down the gtx 770 did really well - i was surprised the cooling on that thing is awesome after you change the thermal paste because the thermal paste did dry up on that GPU it also dried off on the motherboards platform chipset hub as well but i replace that and what we got was all these clean parts now working in tandem to give one kick-ass experience don't know you guys that's about it for today's gaming pc that's all used price-performance if i had to change one thing out i'd probably spend a little bit more money and get a new hard drive as I think the old-school hard drive was just really slow it took me a long time to do the benchmarks it was holding this thing back even something like a new 500 gigabyte or even one terabyte hard drive would make a big difference there was for the other parts they just really kicked off that 3dmark fire strikes core says it all 10k on the physics 9k on the GPU you guys have something to cross-reference it with with your own rigs as well with that fire strike store so let me know in the comment section below if you like the build and also what your scores are on fire strike we'd love to hear that too and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
