it's been a while on the channel since I've done a dedicated budget PC for a dedicated video game and recently on PC the crew 2 has been released now minimum spec requirements state that you need an i-5 2400 s and a gtx 660 or greater and what we've got here on the desk is something that's a previous generation to the i5 2400 however it is going to be a Xeon X 34 40 and you can overclock these higher and they will perform better than I for 2400 so hopefully the CPU will do well in this game but also for the gravis card we've got here a deal on a GTX 780 we picked this up for a hundred and twenty Australian dollars which would equal 88 USD and then for the other deals here they're very different so this was a direct deal I only got this part for the money some of these other deals I have to pro rather them because something else that's going on here on the channel is that I'm going out getting these crazy deals that get so many different parts for a set amount of money this right here was a case cooler and power supply that actually picked up in a two PC deal that I've got for a hundred Ozzie dollars however I'm just picking out these three components from that deal and I'm pricing it up around 30 AUD or 22 US dollars now right here in the middle is a motherboard SSD a gigabytes of RAM and an i5 750 we got this in a massive deal that I picked up for 700 Aussie which included for our x4 70s also a massive p3 case three different motherboard different CPUs over 40 gigabytes of ddr3 memory but this here I'm going to be pricing this up at 80 Aussie dollars or 58 USD so this brings the whole total before we add in the x34 40 to 169 u.s. dollars but since the x34 40 costs 20 US dollars from Aliexpress we're gonna throw that on top and make it 189 US dollars for this budget build around about 255 ozzie though there is just one problem with all these components and that is that they're a little bit dirty so we're gonna give them some check yes lovin and then we're gonna run the welcome back to take S&E we've got right here the palace blade the motherboard and the memory and the i5 750 all set up because I want to see if they boot up before we put it into the build especially the power splaying motherboard they're real pain to pull out if everything's set up and then you find out something's faulty so we're just gonna pretest this make sure it works and then if we're all good to go then we're gonna save a lot of time we're gonna know that our whole system works but another thing as well as someone has decided to do cable management with electrical tape usually you use this first for covering up soldered joints but it looks really bad and tacky so we're gonna take that apart so as far as we're gonna go with taking all this tape off whoever put it on really went to lengths to make sure it wasn't really coming off and of course using a stanley knife is actually risky as well because we could end up cutting the Y's too so we'll try and just utilize that they will see how it looks in the build because we have unsheathed most of most of these ends as well which he kind of need especially on this end for the flexibility though now we're also getting a signal out of it so that is really good news it's time to give this thing attack yes cleanse so we just pause mid yes cleanse here and we've got first time here trying a toothbrush and I found this one I was cleaning up the studio I was like I always intended to use one of these but this was the perfect scenario where we had this little grit on just really weird places and a bit of wd-40 combined with the toothbrush really made this thing stand out and look like new so this will be another tool in the inventory when it comes to a yes cleanse so it's now the next day and this CPU is actually doesn't work anymore it's dead and the sad thing is it was working yesterday I had an overclocked to 4 gigahertz in this computer and everything was going absolutely fine and then it just died and this is the second time this has happened and I'm not really going to talk say anything more because I don't want to tarnish any brand names and what I think it is is I do need to gather more research but what we've got in here at the moment hi-five 750 we've gone back to the four core four threaded CPU and it's now four gigahertz but the problem is its throttling so we've to take this apart we're gonna deal it it and we are gonna put some GC extreme on both the die and the core and see if that fixes the problem and we're now at four gigahertz and we're peaking out at around 70 degrees so it's much better than before we were actually throttling so that's a huge difference and we're doing it on that real budget cooler as well so we just finished playing the crew - on the hotbox and it was as expected the Z on X 34:44 cause eight threads would have been perfect unfortunately guys you have to pay your respects in the comments by pressing F because the four core four threaded I 5 750 and 4 gigahertz is being stressed on all those calls at a hundred percent and the graphics card still got a little bit of headroom so it would have been a perfect combination gtx 780 however for the crew to at 1080p high settings is a perfect gravis card for this game but with that said how does it play pub G with the latest update let's head on over then we have it in the background pub G pop G that's what we were playing 1080p high settings and we're getting over 60fps pretty much all times on this game now unlike the crew to where the CPU was more strain than GPU Tom G at 1080p high settings was actually straining the GTX 780 more than it was the CPU so the i5 750 of 4 gigahertz was absolutely fine in combination with this graphics card so that's about it nice little combo of course as I said before I would prefer having that 4 core 8 threaded CPU at 4 gigahertz I thought that would have been a better balance but sometimes it does happen and here today we just came into some bad luck something that's unexpected that happened I will try and gather more evidence but if you know anyone who's had a deal it'd and it's worked and then suddenly it stopped working then let me know in the comment section below tell them to send me an email so I can sort of investigate it a little bit more and with that said I hope you guys enjoyed today's budget build all the parts as I said in the intro they came out really cheap this was under 200 us even with that failed CPU on top and it came in just a little bit over 250 Aussie dollars so honestly the crew 2 was almost half the cost of this PC and that's just the game so if you're into free-to-play games something like this in the background would represent phenomenal value for money and that's what it's all about when you build use price performance you pick up those dirty old undepreciated parts you give them some tech yes lovin and then they come out looking really good and also performing really well too I was actually pretty surprised that little cooler master cooler as well managed to keep this thing at 4 gigahertz but keep in mind when we did D lid we went from throttling to then 70 degrees which I was really impressed with the temperatures after we did that so I can recommend doing it just be very careful which thermal pace you use I'm probably gonna stick to GC extreme both under the IHS and above it when we match the cooler to the IHS because it does give out some phenomenal numbers and I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did then be sure to hit that like button if you have any questions about the PC parts featured in today's video then be sure to drop a comma in the comments section below I'll get back to you as soon as I can but you guys know these are usually one-time deals I can't replicate these deals and sometimes you're like man how did you get a GTX 780 for like 90 US dollars that's just hustling that's part of the game I'll put some links in description below if you want to search on eBay but you're generally not going to get as good as a deal as someone that just wants to quickly offload the parts for some cash with that said I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
