I know it's a bit of an unfair advantage but I built a system similar to this using an HP prodesk of some sort that I got for free from a local office when they were doing a clean out of old systems. It had an i7 6700, 32gb ddr4 RAM, and a 400w 80+ gold power supply. I spent about $150 to get a gtx 1660 super and a 1tb ssd, which is the best I could squeeze into the system without needing a better power supply. It absolutely crushes games at 1080p.

[@tylerfreal6472]

damn thats kinda fire hows temps ?

[@joemcdonnell5069]

@tylerfreal6472 surprisingly good for only having 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan, under typical gaming load it's about 75-80 degrees celsius

[@josejuanandrade4439]

Lol. On a similar story, one of the companies i work with was tossing out a "defective" pc, they told me i could have it, just in case there were parts i could use. The pc was built inside a cheap low profile case.. When i tested it, it would not boot... i re--seated the memory ram and it worked LOL. It ended up being an i7 8700, with 1 stick of 8gb ram, on a very smal h81 mobo, and it even had a wifi card. The system booted straight into the bios, but i just had to select the ssd as boot drive... Yes it came with a 240gb ssd and 1 tb hdd! Crazy!. The thing is tho... i took out all the components and put them in a better case and flipped them for a profit, from which i bought a 5600g and 16 gb of ram, b550 mobo with wifi, and an nvme 500gb. I put all in the same case, to wich i added a handle, and attacked a laptop screen 15.6", to make an "all in one" pc that could run games. Later tho, i sold the internals again LOL. And now that pc has an i5 12400f, 1tb nvme, 2x8gb ram sticks, and an rtx 4060 low profile LOL.

[@Lurch-Bot]

$150 is a bit much to pay for a 1660 Super but OP's build is only $100 because of a unicorn deal. Meanwhile, I theoretically could have built a machine with an i7-4790S and a 2060 this year for right at $200 and crushed it even harder than you. I paid $120 for the 2060 6GB that was used for mining; I had to refurbish it but it scores very well on benchmarks. The machine I actually built has a 670 SC for playing older and vintage games on digital services that now need Windows 10. But that GPU cost $25. The rest of the system was $75. I didn't get any unicorn deals but I got good deals on everything. Deals most people could get with a small amount of effort. So if I put my $120 2060 in there, it would be a solid budget 1080p machine for $200. OP is definitely losing out on frames because of the non-HT quad core. Skylake was a dead generation - essentially no better performing than Haswell. Same feature set. Generally an abortion of a generation. The only thing more pathetic were the Broadwell dual core i7 mobile CPUs. And, of course, all of the 13th and 14th gen CPUs are more pathetic than that. They will all fail prematurely.

One thing to consider: the "ancient ports" are there because many of the business units are industrial, and may have hardware that requires PS2, Serial, and VGA connections.

[@YuProducciones]

"many of the business" LOL yeah sure.. "may have hardware" of course buddy. the points is 98% of motherboards since 2011 should not have PS2 ports... and there should only be some motherboards with horrible aesthetics and strange prices specifically for the industrial or medical work sector... but that is not the case.

[@DJ-ce8yh]

yeah , "ancients ports" are still on these pre-built desktops to accommodate the pre-existing hardware a business may already have.

PS/2 ports are there for some work environments to disable USB ports for security and still have a functional PC (e.g hospitals, defense companies). Modern ASUS motherboards for industrial / OEM use still have 2 PS/2 ports for this reason

I picked up an HP workstation a while back with an i7 6700, 16gb ram, and a Quadro M4000 8gb. All for $100, shipped to my door. The quadro wasn’t even that bad it performed like a 950 but I swapped it out for a 1080ti I got for another hundred bucks and off to the races.

[@theonewhoknocks797]

What about the power supply restraints?

[@DJ-ce8yh]

@@theonewhoknocks797 I think workstations actually have a decent power supply. like 500w 80+ gold with 6pin pcie

[@cecilb7927]

A lot of the higher spec workstations come with pretty solid PSUs, up to 850W with two and even three PCIE power connectors. A 6700 and 1080ti is an absolutely capable gaming PC. I sold one a few months ago, custom build with an i7 6700 and an RX580 8GB, and it was capable of running Starfield with medium settings, I tried a 2070 Super in it, and the bottle neck wasn't as bad as you might think.

[@demonzero677]

Honestly it's impressive to get a machine together for just a hundred bucks, bit realistically I'd recommend saving up another hundred. With a 200 buck budget you could upgrade the gpu to something like a 1660 super/ti and get a reasonable bump on the gpu end, and could possible squeeze in a used 6700 cpu, which has hyper threads which would sure up the 1% lows you were seeing. Honestly 200 is probably the more realistic super budget goal to aim for if someone were realistically looking to game on a budget system.

[@VZR_]

I've been doing research on it a lot lately and you can get an 8th gen i5 optiplex for like $100 and chuck a 1660s in there for like another $50 then u can use a double sata to 6 pin adapter or find a case and psu for cheap and grab an m.2 sata nvme and ram upgrade.

The thing is that most people don't actually consider buying used parts. They insist on buying new 🤷🤷

[@donaldnemesis393]

and the thing is that they insist with wasting money on something that cost at least twice of the used parts while slower performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmnPq6V_odeenposi=58jBvzd7E_DyyB5z with how fucked up the gpu market are, you either accept the risk of used parts or stop being poor and pay for prenium

[@Lurch-Bot]

Based on the number of DOA and underperforming new GPUs I've seen in recent years, buying a GPU with a couple years use on it is a better bet than buying new. Think of it like an extended QC check..I bought a mining used 2060 this year that is solid as a rock (after I refurbished it) and outperforms most 2060s in benchmark testing. But if it weren't for people like that buying new cars, I couldn't get a bargain on a used car. Same goes for GPUs. So let them be ignorant and stop pointing it out. When I consider budget PC building, the most important thing to remember is that trying to cobble together hardware that is several years old to make a cheap gaming PC is not something a lot of people can do effectively. Even the scouring of Ebay that is often involved is a skill unto itself. I can get great deals on hardware. But your average noob, trying to claw and scrape their way into current AAA gaming, usually can't. Knowledge of hardware and the relative performance thereof is crucial. It allows you to avoid the many pricing traps you can run into where certain hardware is just more expensive for no good reason. Pricing is not well correlated to actual performance. Skylake is one of those pricing traps. OP could have had a Haswell i7 for what they paid for a Skylake i5. The performance difference between Haswell and Skylake is margin of error. Instruction set and features are the same, with the exception of the DDR4 support with Skylake. But it is irrelevant because Skylake only supports up to 2133MT/s. DDR4-2133 will always perform worse than DDR3-1600. So even if you have a Skylake CPU, it is going to be better to run it on a DDR3 MB. I tried to warn people about DDR5 but people took a noticeable step back just to get on DDR5 to get worse RAM performance for more money. Early adoption is never a good idea and that comes from more than 3 decades of experience. Early DDR5 is why the gaming performance difference between the 5800X3D and 7800X3D is miniscule. DDR4-3200 barely outperforms DDR3-1600. DDR5-5600 is worse performing than DDR4-3200. You need expensive DDR5-6400 at CL30 to slightly outperform cheap DDR4-3200 CL16. Transfer rate and clock latency determine actual bandwidth and a new iteration of DDR may double the former but also double the latter. Actual efficiency increases from one generation to the next are minimal. In terms of theoretical bandwidth, DDR2-800 CL4 = DDR3-1600 CL8 = DDR4-3200 CL16 = DDR5-6400 CL32.

[@kuldipjadeja7838]

I always look for used PC parts like GC , MB and Processor which I can find. For PSU, SSD go for new always.

[@thealmightynjections3858]

The only new components in my PC are CPU, Storage and the case. I bought everything else second hand. Runs absolutely amazing no issues whatsoever and i saved quite a bit of money compared to buying it all new.

[@Midori_Ringo]

The people that know what they're doing will buy 2nd hand. 1st time builders? Most definitely not which is understandable. The thing is if you know where to buy 2nd hand equipment you can get great deals and well looked after equipment. I've been a member of an overclocking forum for almost 15 years now and the trading there is still as busy as ever. I've got a $5-10k in trades there everything from custom waterblocks, delidded CPUs to sticks of RAM. I'm not into hardcore overclocking anymore but those forums are still useful. All the long timers know each other and there's a degree of trust. But as for Facebook marketplace/ebay/craigslist etc? Yeah no that's a massive crapshoot

[@andersenpeters]

I've used a very similar HP system for a previous build for a friend. It adds a bit to the total budget but you can get a slim USB 3.0 header extension cable that will just fit under the GPU in order to keep the front IO working.

[@GiziBrat]

Hey, Those errors upon bootup can be removed so you dont have to hit f1 every time you turn the pc on. Google about the pinout on the usb 3.0 connector and short the sense pin to the ground and the pc will think that usb cable is connected, I've done this a couple times with great success... wish you the best. cheers

[@GiziBrat]

also works on the audio connector as well. just google a bit and trial and error

[@19bendunk]

20 years ago when i was in my teens you couldn't even get near this type of performance at around 1000 $ , this is a gem bro

[@NoobSniper]

This was an awesome build on a budget! 👍 I would love to see a future video, showing reasonable upgrades (ie, E3-1270 v5 if the mobo supports it, selling the RX 470 and picking up an RTX 2060) to see if it would be worth investing a bit more into the system OR if it would be best to sell the unit as a whole and build out an AM4 system.

[@internziko]

And you know what? He could sell the i5 and RX 470 and only only have to invest another $30-$50 bucks for those upgrades.

[@mr.waffentrager4400]

I could smell the used rx 580 from 5 vids away.

[@chrismichaelyoung]

The only thing I have to say is about the Helldivers 2 benchmark. My current pc has an i5 7500 and a GTX 1660 Ti with 16 Gb DDR4 RAM at 3200. Anything over "Hard" difficulty is entirely unplayable, at least as of a few months ago. Had to drop the game due to constant stuttering and egregious input latency with large groups of enemies due to what I assume is cpu overload, and you can't really progress past a certain point unless you can play at higher difficulties. If possible, I'd recommend running a benchmark at max difficulty for that game specifically, or any game that has cpu-intensive gameplay at any given point. I know Borderlands 3 can have very large groups of enemies also, but I haven't tested it on my pc yet.

[@CoolTI-Daniel]

I love the video! Awesome job and computer for litterally 100$ I am also sad that you didn't fall on a 20$ 8GB RX580, that would have made a fair difference. As much as I always had AMD's, even during their bad times, the old Intel chips are legendary for ultra cheap gaming PC's. Pre and during covid I sold my ITX Ryzen to a friend and got myself a cheap I5-2400. I later upgraded it for a Xeon1230v2 chip (like a lower clocked I7) Later a friend simply gave me his old I5-6600K GPU wise I went from a used GTX570 that died shortly after buying used, I RMAed it and Zotac sent me a GTX680 which I used for a while. Just at the start of covid before the crazy GPU Prices I snagged myself a 250$ GTX1070. Honestly if your budget was 200$... the HDD can go up to 500GB with a GTX 1070... the performance would almost be double.

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

4:29 ...two DIMM slots... yeah and it looks like they COULD have put four on the board when they built it, but they didn't want to SPLURGE on the DIMM slots! Penny pinch much, HP? I wonder if anyone good with a soldering iron could add them, maybe salvage them from a donor board, and it would just work? Don't see why not as long as the traces are connected to the socket.

I love seeing these extreme budget builds! It can be intimidating as someone who is broke, and/or doesn't know about PC hardware to consider PC gaming. Approaches like this using used hardware can get you VERY far for not a lot of money.

[@Holycurative9610]

I set my son, aged 17, up with a decent PC for not a lot of money (about GB£120), it has a 1050Ti, a 4th gen i7, 512gb SSD, a 750W gold PSU, a 1TB HDD and 32GB of DDR3 ram. There is a CEX by him and we mapped out an upgrade path for him with new mobo, DDR4 ram and a better CPU for about GB£75 so he can get up to 6th or 7th gen i5/i7 which means he has a really capable gaming PC for about GB£200 if he goes with upgrades and if he sells the parts he no longer needs he knocks £20-30 off that price.

[@1Fracino]

For $100 it's damm good. Wish I could do as well.

[@Midori_Ringo]

It's such a shame you couldn't find something nearby for local pickup a quarter of the build went to delivery, $25 could've gone to an RX580 possibly. I also think you could gone as low as high end Haswell cpu (i7 4770-4790) to pair with anything up to a 1060/rx580 so they're not bottlenecking each other. Have to also understand the people making these type of builds aren't going to be using monitors with high refresh rates, so more likely 1080p 60FPS is kinda ideal. Anything more is wasted. Also just as a sidenote for anyone doing this be a bit careful when buying Dell/Acer/HP OEM desktops, they tend to randomly have proprietary power connectors to the motherboard, sometimes within the same model series. You may need to buy an adaptor so you can use your ATX PSU

[@namecannotbeblank8920]

this pc with a miners RX 580 would be kinda crazy actually

[@lemonch.5053]

your gpu deal are quite good but i think people should hold and save a little bit more money to buy a better gpu

[@themistoclesnelson2163]

What about with FSR?

[@internziko]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@squirrelm3195]

Plus, you still have the disk drive so you can play some old CD games too which I'm sure this PC can run5

Could be a fun entry for the #CheapPCChallenge2024 ... 👀

[@DanielLoveReel]

This is crazy good for $100.

Bruh, I got confused in the begining, thinking it was a daily dose video.

[@godieinafirenow]

The most difficult part os finding ssds and gpus, everything else is easy.

[@hardstylboy]

nice job now cleaning the gpu card

[@MikJames-d1g]

Quad cores that old just aren't enough for a smooth experience. I'd at least upgrade it to an i5 8700. Though if you can afford $100, you can probably afford 200$ to get something twice as good.

[@masterarselyn6470]

I doubt I'll be that lucky to sell like that.
