The 2nd and 3rd gen i3, especially the 3rd gen one which i use are still super capable if youre looking to play the ps4 era games at 30 fps. But the key here is that these procesors are not at all good if you have multiple apps open in background, and for that you need to optimise windows and with optimisation i got the process count down to 50 from 138, and noticed all the stutters went away, and can actually play games at locked 30 fps and even rdr2. Btw please pair it with a 1050ti and benchmark games like assassins creed origins, odyssey, just want to see how far this litttle beast can go.

I have been looking through the other videos to see what components were used overall, etc. It's a shame that the best processors for the motherboard are currently unaffordable. The 4GB limitation is also a shame, of course. However, a GT 730 is really not a good choice for the project, and there is still room for improvement in the operating system to achieve better performance. I would use a HD 6670 and Windows 10 64bit from Ghost Spectre. And I would definitely not give up on an SSD. PS: For older games, I would [additionally] recommend using Linux (e.g. Mint with an XP theme) in conjunction with Lutris and DosBox instead of dealing with potential driver problems. PPS: The latest possible BIOS should also be installed on the motherboard.
@computerrefurbishment974810 ай бұрын
Fair comments but for gaming, I don't think there is much choice above the 4400+ cpu which I have used. Anything above 730 gpu would probably be bottlenecked and not worth the outlay. Regarding win 10...32 bit is less overhead than 64 bit. It does have an ssd installed. Latest bios not available and I doubt it would make much difference. Yes Linux would run fine on the system. Thanks again for the comments.
