When I saw "A very old chip" in the title I thought you managed to install Windows 11 on a Tuatalin Pentium III

tips for building a first pc?

The performance will be eaten up by the new spyware they installed. 2 steps forward and 10 steps off a cliff. They also seem to integrating it into a new explorer api meaning that you'll have to strip out explorer entirely to get rid of it.

it was just Amd cpu's that got a benefit.

Good vid, but use WAY less camera movement and rapid cuts

helllo

Windows recall is included and activated, you can check by using the following in the command prompt: Dism /Online /Get-Featureinfo /Featurename:Recall

That's not old. I daily dual Xeon x5690s. Just don't run w11. It can eat my entire ass. I don't care what backdoor the American government wants into everything. If it comes to that, I guess I won't have a PC or phone anymore.

I'm actually trying to make a similar rig out of a similar model of PC from the Windows 7 era. Layout is practically the same. Should I add standoffs even through the stock board doesn't use them?

i would suggest stop moving the camera around so much, in and out, back and forth. makes people want to throw up. slow and smooth. Like the build in the old case. retro is making a comeback (sorta...)

I loved your vid!

i have the same case lol

we have the same case and similar psu lol, mine's the CV550. i really need a new case.. this is just too damn heavy and its a pain everytime i have to do some tinkering.

Good video enjoyed watching it before school

W vid

good vid!

i feel you on political shit idc and for me having a stuffy case for a while i had to see this so thanks for making this it's awesome to see someone benchmarking this kinda stuff i thought my pc would die if i benchmarked a bunch of stuff

I actually own a similar era machine with an AMD CPU. This chassis was used for years since the XP era into Windows 10 and takes standard parts unlike the newer ones since 2018.

I used my old laptop Acer Nitro 7 i7 9750, 16 GB, SSD 1TB (cost me like 1500$ when I purchased it in 2019) to play Black Myth Wukong. After 2 days, my laptop died. The laptop repair shop inform me the motherboard is faulty and the cost to replace motherboard is 500$, or they will try to repair it with only 115$ and warranty 3 months. I know for sure that after 3-6 months the issue will happen again. Then I go around looking for a budget PC to play wukong and came across your video. Thank you so much for your sharing. I will try to build similar setup like you. Hopefully it will good enough to play wukong with minimum setting.

Better than I expected tbh

ALL AMD BUILD IS THE STRAT great build

if you can get a microcenter bundle and go for an ATX build instead (because the MC bundle is atx mobo) you can get a better cpu (7700x or even a 12900k or something) and 48 gigs of ram for the same money.

The Asus AP201 is great. I have the white one.

total didn't account for CPU & storage ? I know you might already have them, but would that bring the total to just over $1000?

Thats a dope build

Young man i don't like rgb also, good looking case, you have good taste :)

I’m not much of a gamer, so I can’t speak to gaming on Linux, but as a developer, Linux isn’t not hard. It makes much more sense than Windows tbh

finally someone who doesnt like rgb 😭

i would look for more used parts to be honest

just got a 4070 super with Ryzen 7 7800x3d, frame gen performance is absolutely amazing and I honestly didn't notice a massive change in quality. granted, I only tried it with a few games.

Bro did not stand still once when he’s talking

I have an RTX 4070 Ti Super. I've had it since February of this year. I still haven't played a game since buying it. By the time I think about gaming, I'm ready to go to sleep.

been playing with the "dlssg-to-fsr3" mod for a year now (: which is imo better because you can still use DLSS Upscaling.

I don't like to delete and reinstall games so I have quite a bit of HDD storage say maybe 11tb but I only use those drives for older games or indie games my roms for emulators and photos and stuff I have 3 tb of m.2 storage for games that really need It and 4 1tb SATA SSD for AAA games I don't play as often this system works perfectly fine for me and raid dose help with sata SSDs HDD I don't bother as load time is fine for what on them

Like anything, drive model matters. This happened to be a 7200rpm drive but that's the same as saying 'so I'm gaming on a 12gb vram gpu because that's typical'. Well is that a 4070ti or a 3060? Both have 12gb vram models. This particular drive has a 210MB/s sustained transfer rate. I run a wd black 6tb, they have 2 versions. The one with 128MB cache has a transfer rate of 229MB/s, the 256MB cache version I run has up to 267MB/s transfer rates. 3 different transfer rates, all '7200rpm' drives. To counter your experience with cyberpunk you're suggesting you get stutter and harsh texture pop because of the hdd. I ran cyberpunk for hours and hours off hdd, no issue. Even when I updated to Phantom Liberty. I got curious and installed it fresh to one of my nvme gen 4 drives. The game loaded faster initially. The rest of it? No discernable difference. But then your system overall is vastly different from mine. Running a 12700k/3080 12gb with 64gb ddr4 3600. Everything between our systems are different from cache amounts, core speeds, bus speeds, memory type, memory amount. Apples and oranges. What's important is comparing our different experience or results in the same game. Maybe there are other factors at play on your system besides the hdd itself causing your issues. It's possible the ssd is masking other areas of your pc that are just suffering due to age and lower speed. For example a system with an hdd (especially a slow one all things considered) vs the same pc with an ssd. With 8gb ram, the ssd makes the system feel a lot faster. But is that all due to the ssd itself? Or is it more apparent because every hit to the swap/page file is faster on the ssd? In that scenario the increased speed seems thanks to the ssd. In reality the ssd's speed is helping, but it's masking the other issue. That perhaps the example system doesn't have enough ram. More ram reduces page file hits to begin with. Another key element is whether this is purely a dedicated game drive or a single drive system. A single drive system will suffer more because of the os and its requests along with any other background apps causing interruptions to the game's requests. An hdd relying on a mechanical head to read the disk with increased seek times will compound the problem. Vs a multi drive system where the os and other app requests are kept to an ssd while only the game requests are being sent to the hdd. For some games like starfield, a perfect example of a game that relies heavily on loading screens, ssd is the way to go. For other games, the only real difference is an increase in initial load times. Synthetic scores mean squat, hate to burst that bubble. As someone who has had the os residing on hdd, 2.5" sata ssd, nvme gen4. On paper the theoretical speed difference is incredible. 7300MB/s read 6300MB/s write speeds on the gen4. Let's assume the 267MB/s is the sequential read/write speed of the hdd in my system (obviously other operations run slower than max). Holy cow, on paper my nvme is over 27x faster read/over 23x faster write! So if my drive is 25x faster, let's take a value estimate (from some averages) of 45s boot time to win11 off hdd. By that math, my win11 pc should boot in 1.8s. In under 2 seconds I should be on the desktop. Fake news. Not how it works. Still takes around 20-30s. And for some people over 2min (with nvme). Don't get all caught up in paper specs or synthetics, once real world enters the picture it doesn't amount to much. It's also why despite having 'only' a 480MB/s or so transfer speed on a sata ssd, actual game load times between sata ssd, nvme gen 3, gen 4 and gen 5 are virtually the same. With at most a second or two difference. Paper specs just don't translate to reality. Synthetics are only mildly helpful as a level playing field but even then. They don't corelate to real programs. A game is a real program, photoshop, blender, those are real programs. No one's playing games or editing videos with 'cinebench' or 'passmark'. 1-2tb nvme's are getting more and more affordable which is great. And a good solution for those who only need 2tb of space. 4tb are getting somewhat more affordable at $230-330usd. A 2tb isn't enough to hold my current game library and the 6tb drive I'm using for 99% of my games (that run fine) was $130. People should go with what suits their needs but plenty of recent/somewhat newer popular games run fine without an ssd. Rdr2, control, witcher 3 next gen, elden ring, bg3, cyberpunk, days gone, plague tale, death stranding, horizon zero dawn etc. Not discounting some of the newer games do run considerably better on ssd like starfield, hogwarts. Hopefully the trend continues and we can find 4tb nvme's for 150ish or less and 8tb nvme's that don't cost a grand. Games are only getting larger, space matters. 13gb games like skyrim, to 58gb games like witcher 3 to 144gb games like bg3. One newer game is 11x the size of an older open world game. We'll be needing those 4-8tb drives.

One nice thing about HDD's is that basically any you'd ever buy can maintain its max speed during large operations like cutting and pasting 500GB of videos, whereas cheaper SSD's will slow down to like 50MB/s after awhile. The same cheap SSD's feel premium when you're gaming or doing normal OS stuff, though, yeah.

I dont want to give hate, but I think you might be misinformed and looking at the wrong ideas. HDD vs SSD really wont have an impact on any FPS, sure 1% lows will make a difference due to load times and smoothness, but overall the game shouldn't run any different on normal segments. Especially when it comes to multiplayer games, where assets are streamed and gameplay/textures is cached, so load times are even closer between the two depending on the game. Even then, you arent ever using the max rate of transfer and especially games that will feed you at a time so you don't freeze, and any good dev will optimize based on lower end computers. Realistically the downfall of HDD, and those obvious 1% is the mechnical arm it has and having to literally read on parts of the disk to read certain data. It's the point of failure and reason why its slower. Just seems like you didn't really look into it much and just did "tests" on games, rather than a real world scenario like GTA load times, massive city skylines world, or data transfer/unzip of file containting thousands of small files (individual files are harsher on speed than one big one)

Interesting video! I would recommend making the data comparisons easier to follow with a graph or an excel sheet

How in the hell is this 50 minutes long, Jesus Christ

Just what I needed to see

Less than 60fps with fsr? Boo I say. You get what you pay. Not Viable.

Please never build computers on a carpet, and please also dont build computers right next to your dog.

Can't wait to see the future of the pc builds as well!

keep up the grind
