I've built systems using C I T's products, couldn't fault the PSU's for the money! So those internals have been ripped from STONE'S older desktop office PCs and placed into the C I T case and matching C I T PSU. Then slapped in the BEAST POWER ANIMAL GT710! As I'm British I'm proud of that build quality. I've deployed STONE PCs in Schools 10 years ago! They were decent at the time.

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

Thanks for that info! The build quality really was much better than expected. 👍

Using a CIT Blaze case and it is horrible. Would not recommend as the non removable drive tray makes cable management hard and a struggle to fit my RM750x in. Looking forward to when the H510 Flow is available in the UK so I can case swap my PC Update: Instead I got a Lancool 215. Case swap went well except I either fried my motherboard or my CPU. Update 2: It was in fact the motherboard. Got a new one (different model because when looking for a new one I heard that my current board had some reliability issues) and it works great now

Frickin hilarious! Liked, Subscribed & Notified! Do the 3080Ti upgrade with the PCIE card! Bring that i5 to it’s knees!

i got a £299 PC with an i5-3rd gen, GT 730, 1TB HDD, 256GB SSD and it runs from 400-700 fps on minecraft and around 200-300 on games like valorant.

That’s a good little build. Slow but honest. Inexpensive.

In December 2020, I bought an ASUS G751 with a 4th Gen i7 and a GTX 980M. I have played even Shadows of the Tomb Raider and Horizon: Zero Dawn on it. You could in 2021 get a decent performing gaming machine for US $500.

Knife fighting in the street for 2nd hand parts is part of the fun of building computers. Sandy Bridge was awesome in its day. Now not so much. Try a GTX 1650 in there..

That Dell monitor with that pivot stand would actually make a nice vertical second monitor

Damn watching this video brings me back memories gaming on my 730 on gta at 720p but in windowed mode. What I would do is pull up a completely black image so that I wouldn’t see my desktop background. Man the things I did just to play some games

[@hansbehrends438]

More love and care went into this PC than your "Dell did me dirty" cutting edge gaming PC

[@jamiexxi]

I’d really like to see a CLX website/pc review. Two of my friends have them and are really happy with them. The SSD failed on both of their PCs though but support was helpful. I’m thinking about going with CLX when I buy a prebuilt in the future

[@jeffie8696]

I build and sell gaming PCs locally for $500 to $700 and they work really well, low overhead . I use actual name brand gaming components along with used parts for the best balance, no two are alike that is certain .

[@jadearo9397]

this is almost exactly how my pc used to run fortnite when i played all the time in 2018, 720p low got me 30-45fps with occasional stutters. despite this still had so much fun playing with friends, i would have been probably 12 y.o at the time and got about 800 hours in the game by 2020. but i was always envious of my friends who where playing on xbox at 60fps 1080p, if your a parent unless your kid is picking out what pc they want just buy them an xbox or some other console, much better value for money at that price range. finally building a pc with a £1000 budget was a blessing after i started working, RIP my old pc 2015-2023

This one hurt enough as it was man. Putting a 3080 into a pci-e adapter into a pci slot may just give me the courage to finally end it all.

[@BenState]

Love the 1 screw in the mobo

[@sleepercelltest7214]

10:03 made me smile because of what we have planned to release on the 30th :)

[@nelsonmediacreations]

Dear Dawid, your humor was spot-on today, I LOL about eight times watching this video!! And, yes please oh please, jam a ridiculous GPU in that system...it will make "must see" content😂🤣

[@GabrielTobing]

3:03 Actually better than the other prebuilt systems XD

[@vmfighter-ryze]

the PCIE to PCI adapter video would be simply amazing, seeing a 3080 brought to its knees by that limited of a bus would be funny

[@memoky486]

No one ever said it so I will, Thank you for Doing Tech Stuff Dawid

[@TooManySteamGames]

That dope LGR reference drop. This guy knows his audience.

[@rathstar]

I like how used to add a section on how adding a reasonable GPU, say a 1050ti would improve performance. It would add £100 to the price but give a world of difference to the performance.

[@shaneeslick]

G'day Dawid, I almost Died when I saw your face in the Thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Totally agree, there are quite a few Ebay PreBuilt Sellers & even SIs that could learn a lot about PC building from this PC, Ps Yes please do the RTX3080 Gaming

[@Finzr]

I got a pc for just over £100 more than this stage 3 hemeroids inducing toaster of a system, with an i5 6500, gtx 1650 super (msi gaming) 16gb 2666mhz (dual channel), asus b150m-a m.2 mobo, 1tb wd black hdd, 244gb wd green ssd, kolink 650w 80+ rated psu in the kolink inspire k6 case, with a 1 year warranty, its just kind of sad how people can fall for scams like this, sadly the one i stated here is no longer available, as i believe they were taken off the market after my purchase, in the midst of the gpu shortage, and let me add, the cable management was immaculate
