00:00:16,680 blazing fast that it can play everything from CS go to Elden ring sort of all it 4 00:00:14,219 --> 00:00:21,119 took was an eBay workstation with a funny name and a lucky GPU score from 5 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:27,660 our friend dude guy Everyman on Craigslist but what if we could give this budget 6 00:00:24,660 --> 00:00:29,880 Beauty another boost what new Feats of 7 00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:36,780 potency could it reach for a hundred and sixty nine dollars 269 or even four 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:41,399 hundred twenty dollars spoiler alert it's gonna get really fast and you're 9 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:45,960 gonna get really surprised what isn't going to surprise you is our sponsor 10 00:00:43,379 --> 00:00:49,739 Capital One Shopping thanks Capital One shopping for

shopping for sponsoring that portion of the video what makes a gaming PC a 15 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:11,580 gaming PC well it's the GPU obviously 16 00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:14,100 right and I mean sure our 30 GTX 760 17 00:01:11,580 --> 00:01:18,479 here will not be outdone in the bang for the buck department and yes it can 18 00:01:16,619 --> 00:01:23,159 technically play just about any game even tiny teenage wonderlands but if we 19 00:01:20,939 --> 00:01:27,240 want to do better than 720 NEP at the lowest possible settings this guy is 20 00:01:25,619 --> 00:01:30,960 going to be the first to go once our lawnmower business starts paying 21 00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:36,060 dividends let's look at our contenders then at minimum we want four gigs of 22 00:01:33,659 --> 00:01:40,560 frame buffer memory or vram and we've got a hundred dollars to spend before we 23 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:48,540 hit our next price tier that gives us options like the 1660 1650 super 1060 24 00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:51,600 and 970. we ended up going with a GTX 25 00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:54,420 1060. simply because back when we 26 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:59,579 prepared this video RX 580 prices hadn't yet been annihilated by the ethereum 27 00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:04,200 merge so I guess I wasted a hundred bucks on this thing and I'm gonna go 28 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:07,740 grab a Radeon RX 580 from the shelf and you should too 29 00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:12,900 we went with this dual OC model from ASUS but realistically you could go with 30 00:02:09,899 --> 00:02:15,360 just about any RX 580 as long as it's 31 00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:21,180 not one like this where it's got both an eight pin and a six pin power connector 32 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,980 because our power supply only has a 33 00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:26,700 single extra Molex and while it does have extra satas and you can get 34 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:32,840 adapters like this to use a card like this one 35 00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:32,840 I would not recommend this 36 00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:41,280 for minimal risk of fire then stick with the Dual six pin to eight pin adapter 37 00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:44,760 and a single 8-pin RX 580 or failing 38 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,000 that you could go with a 570 a 480 or 39 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,140 470 or even a 1060 like we had specked 40 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,879 out initially tool-less installation 41 00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:59,340 that's it let's play some games this my friends is why we wanted four 42 00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:04,440 gigs of frame buffer we're at 1080p High which can do maternal is basically like 43 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:12,959 medium well we gaming ladies and gentlemen I mean okay it's not pinned at 44 00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:15,540 60fps but this is absolutely playable 45 00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:19,980 any dying that you see Happening Here is because of my lack of skill not because 46 00:03:17,940 --> 00:03:24,599 the game is not running well enough okay let's go again where's the bad guys at 47 00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:28,620 I'm only on the first level it doesn't this is definitely 48 00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:32,280 definitely playable and it doesn't even look it's not like 49 00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:37,560 oh yeah we turn in the details way down it looks like absolute hot garbage this 50 00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:41,519 looks fine I think this is really impressive but don't take my word for it 51 00:03:39,659 --> 00:03:44,940 look at these performance graphs I mean yeah we're spending nearly three times 52 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:49,680 as much on the machine compared to where we started but there are also cases 53 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:56,580 where we're getting nearly three times the performance that is great value for 54 00:03:52,739 --> 00:03:59,340 the dollar we are not done no no no I 55 00:03:56,580 --> 00:04:05,340 mean what is the point of rocking a brand new to us GPU if it's going to get 56 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:11,400 bottlenecked by our weak CPU the bad news is the locked down BIOS on our z420 57 00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:13,620 workstation does not support the next 58 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:18,720 generation of Intel Xeon chips codename ivybridge the good news though is that 59 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:24,240 many other boards from that era did support such upgrades so cast off Sandy 60 00:04:21,780 --> 00:04:28,680 Bridge chips even really high-end ones are cheap and plentiful the most 61 00:04:26,940 --> 00:04:34,380 powerful CPU supported by our mother board then is the E5 62 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,759 2687w in single threaded tasks it might 63 00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:40,560 not be much more powerful than our existing E5 1620 but it has double the 64 00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,900 number of cores double the number of threads and costs a mere 30 on eBay with 65 00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:49,560 many of the listings even covering shipping within the continental US score 66 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,960 or unfortunately this CPU runs hot enough 67 00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:59,639 that HP figured it needed an all-in-one liquid cooler instead of 68 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:04,740 this thing so I guess we'll need to upgrade that too not to an AIO though 69 00:05:02,699 --> 00:05:10,440 we've talked a fair bit about how water coolers are not always better than air 70 00:05:07,139 --> 00:05:12,780 coolers and this wimpy thing is a prime 71 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:19,139 example meanwhile The Cooler Master hyper 212 Evo supports LGA 2011 and can 72 00:05:16,919 --> 00:05:24,840 be had for the very attractive price of about 20 Canadian pesos so at about 15 73 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:29,160 real dollars to the cost of our CPU another five to ten for some thermal 74 00:05:26,699 --> 00:05:37,080 paste and I'm expecting a pretty nice uplift for 50 here what is up with this 75 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:42,900 this is a five pin band connector oh man 76 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:45,240 I love hddt I love hddt cooler installs 77 00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:50,160 take our fan pop that on there and now we just gotta plug 78 00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:52,199 ah this is a four pin Fan industry 79 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,820 standard remember on the motherboard we had that five pin fan header well a 80 00:05:55,139 --> 00:06:01,740 quick Google search later you find a post from user silent BOGO on the tech 81 00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:06,479 PowerUp forums who tells us that the motherboard header is actually a four 82 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,660 pin fan header but just with two ground connectors one on either side of the 83 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:15,960 active pins so our workaround is to take a four pin 84 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:20,220 fan splitter and use that to make it work conveniently you can find these in 85 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,300 two packs on Amazon for about five bucks here's a little Tech tip for you we're 86 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,500 just gonna pop these pins out then we take our connectors in the exact same 87 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:33,479 order and we're going to put them in on this side 88 00:06:30,419 --> 00:06:37,440 all right now we can take our standard 89 00:06:33,479 --> 00:06:39,479 fan plug it into here standard four pin 90 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,680 connector and we've ripped off our proprietary five pin connector and we 91 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:46,680 can plug that into the board yay 92 00:06:50,039 --> 00:06:55,620 really what really you guys now you 93 00:06:53,699 --> 00:06:59,699 don't tell me what cooling I need the bad news is that this is not the only 94 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:05,520 ridiculous error that could have you pressing F1 every time you want to boot 95 00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:09,720 your computer the good news is that every single one of these errors has a 96 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,919 solution that is both inexpensive and can be executed with standard household 97 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,880 tools but to show you how many things can cause these sorts of problems let's 98 00:07:16,139 --> 00:07:25,380 go ahead and shut the system back off and unplug some stuff 99 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,759 let's unplug the RAM fan front USB let's 100 00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:33,440 take out this one sure and whoops all right let's fire it back 101 00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:39,599 up to be clear it's kind of a cool feature 102 00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:43,440 actually it's just not the most convenient for you know performing janky 103 00:07:42,060 --> 00:07:48,300 upgrades so let's get everything restored to 104 00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:53,639 factory the one we can't put back though is this one which presumably is using 105 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,880 that fifth pin to sense whether you have a water cooler or not the really 106 00:07:55,380 --> 00:08:02,460 frustrating part of this is that if we adopted for the slightly less powerful 107 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:05,280 E5 2690 we probably could have avoided 108 00:08:02,460 --> 00:08:10,500 this problem altogether the 2690 is nearly identical to our W workstation 109 00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:15,720 chip in every way it's even the same price on eBay but its base clock is 200 110 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:21,000 megahertz slower and therefore its TDP is only 120 watts instead of the 150 111 00:08:19,259 --> 00:08:26,099 watt monster that we're rocking now thankfully silent vogo chronicled their 112 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,780 Journey performing a case transplant on a similar z620 workstation and we were 113 00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:36,240 able to adapt some of their findings to help defeat the evil Lord HP BIOS let's 114 00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:40,800 walk through it but

00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:31,680 mentioned that pin one on the CPU fan might have been the sensor for a second 128 00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:35,339 fan and looking at photos of the official water cooler it certainly 129 00:09:33,180 --> 00:09:39,899 appears that that cable goes somewhere instead of just looping back to ground 130 00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:44,339 like it does on the stock cooler want to know why because in an air cooled 131 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:50,700 configuration the system is only expecting one fan so that extra pin well 132 00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:56,820 that goes to ground no problem but in a water cooled configuration it's 133 00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:59,040 expecting two fans so for that reason we 134 00:09:56,820 --> 00:10:04,740 actually need to jump that fifth pin to the tack pin which is in the middle 135 00:10:01,820 --> 00:10:09,060 we've already done the work I'll turn up the workers sort of mediocreatly done 136 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,660 should probably be soldered but this is good enough for us to show you guys that 137 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,740 it will work the one thing to be really careful of guys while you're jumping 138 00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:22,980 pins between each other on a fan connector is please don't connect your 139 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:29,519 ground to your 12 volt that could start a fire yes yes ignore this extra black 140 00:10:27,779 --> 00:10:32,519 lead that's hanging off of here that was from one of the early experiments when 141 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:38,519 we were still trying to figure this out oh my goodness still trying to figure this out ready 142 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:42,600 and with the CPU actually upgraded this time 143 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,380 here it comes front chassis fan not detected 144 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:51,240 oh crap the good news is there's a quick and 145 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,640 easy solution to this unfortunately it 146 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:59,040 costs 40 dollars why do they even need a special bracket 147 00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:03,240 for the fan just put just put mounting holes like everyone else so we're not 148 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:08,220 going to buy that what we are going to do is we're going to buy a two pack of 149 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,600 those fan Splitters we showed you guys before which fortunately costs the same 150 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:17,519 for some reason and we're going to make ourselves another little fix by 151 00:11:15,779 --> 00:11:21,959 salvaging some fan connector pins from our work earlier shorting pins three and 152 00:11:20,220 --> 00:11:27,660 four like this which obviously will protect by putting something over top of 153 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,880 them and then shaving off this guide 154 00:11:27,660 --> 00:11:35,420 here with a pair of blush Cutters we are able to put without installing another 155 00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:37,440 fan which we don't have the bracket for 156 00:11:35,420 --> 00:11:42,779 this one here which should allow us once and for all 157 00:11:40,380 --> 00:11:48,720 to boot the freaking thing up no F1 158 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,720 here it is the big moment 159 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,720 nice 160 00:11:52,920 --> 00:12:01,200 okay all I need to do is close up the 161 00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:03,540 are you kidding me thing looks like a 162 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:08,519 bloody Tesla it's the heat pipe from the cooler causing the problem thankfully 163 00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:10,079 though there's a quick and easy solution 164 00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:14,160 speed holes off camera we just put a little bit of 165 00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:18,480 like goop like paint or something on the top of the heat pipes then put it on so 166 00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:20,660 that it would Mark the spots and then we just 167 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:28,200 parfait less parfait not crap 168 00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:34,320 should have put some masking tape on you know what no let's see if we 169 00:12:31,339 --> 00:12:37,380 these are not even close dude but wait wait why did I even close this up we're 170 00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:46,260 not even done with this stage of the upgrade yet ow currently our system has two sticks 171 00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:50,399 of memory in it which means that we're not making proper use of our Xeon 172 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:54,360 processors quad Channel memory controller one way to fix this would be 173 00:12:52,320 --> 00:13:00,120 to try to match the RAM that's in there with two more sticks but there can be a 174 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:04,320 little bit of trial and error especially on workstation and server boards which 175 00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:08,279 tend to be a little bit pickier so we took the easy path and grabbed four 176 00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:17,600 matching sticks of ECC DDR3 for about 30 bucks that is 177 00:13:13,740 --> 00:13:21,060 less than a dollar per Gigabyte 178 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,980 oh whoa nice party trick but wait 179 00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:25,920 there's more depending how much you spent on your RAM upgrade your budget 180 00:13:24,420 --> 00:13:30,959 for this could vary but you should have anywhere between 15 and 30 dollars left 181 00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:35,459 to spend on a two and a half gig network card that'll go a long way towards 182 00:13:33,420 --> 00:13:39,420 modernizing our system for our high speed Network transfers we're using a 183 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:43,980 card from Trend net which is technically out of our budget but it was lying 184 00:13:41,579 --> 00:13:47,760 around in the warehouse well we're connected at two and a half gigabit per 185 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:51,560 second so that's good but because of other system bottlenecks we weren't able 186 00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:58,680 to crack around 800 megabit so maybe we can address that 187 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:04,440 later but first let's play around with our two 69 gaming PC 188 00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:08,100 oh here's our eight cores and 16 threads by the way pretty sick 189 00:14:06,959 --> 00:14:13,380 yeah I know I would say this is running meaningfully better I think it's pretty 190 00:14:11,700 --> 00:14:17,459 clear from the FPS counter in the corner that we're not getting way higher frame 191 00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:22,440 rates than we were before with our eight core CPU they are significantly more 192 00:14:20,220 --> 00:14:27,779 consistent and that's a really good thing because it's making the game feel 193 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:29,940 a lot more you know smoother than the 194 00:14:27,779 --> 00:14:34,260 FPS counter would indicate that's awesome 195 00:14:31,139 --> 00:14:38,040 great our 99th percentile low frame 196 00:14:34,260 --> 00:14:40,920 times are equivalent to over 100 FPS man 197 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:45,839 you want to play some GTA 5. we don't have it cranked or anything but 198 00:14:43,079 --> 00:14:51,180 the game is running pretty high we're still pinned at like 120 FPS which 199 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:55,620 yes it's not the city but like damn what's not to like here this is enough 200 00:14:53,519 --> 00:15:01,740 performance for 1080p gaming in pretty much any game you'd want to play at 269 201 00:14:58,740 --> 00:15:05,339 dollars absolutely amazing for the price 202 00:15:01,740 --> 00:15:07,680 but I want more more what well as I 203 00:15:05,339 --> 00:15:13,260 alluded to before I think we could have better storage in this system now that I 204 00:15:09,959 --> 00:15:15,180 can play so many games 256 gigs isn't 205 00:15:13,260 --> 00:15:20,880 going to be enough to satisfy me and while I could just sell off your my 206 00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:22,740 precious GTX 760 and use my 23 to 207 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:26,160 patiently wait for a one terabyte hard drive to show up somewhere 208 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:31,920 I want this PC to be better than that the smart choice is probably a 512 gig 209 00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:37,500 or one terabyte two and a half inch SSD like this something like an adata Su 760 210 00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:43,740 is going to give me a dram cache drive for only 50 bucks for 512 or 85 dollars 211 00:15:40,620 --> 00:15:47,220 for a terabyte but our next budget tier 212 00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:49,860 is 369 dollars and this amount of spare 213 00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:57,899 cash has me not really thinking straight here I'm thinking high speed NVMe Drive 214 00:15:54,180 --> 00:15:59,040 I mean yes this computer predates NVMe 215 00:15:57,899 --> 00:16:03,480 drives but I don't care I'm flush with cash and 216 00:16:01,740 --> 00:16:07,800 throwing caution to the wind problem number one is that modern NVMe drives 217 00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:13,139 are almost exclusively available in the m.2 form factor and our motherboard has 218 00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:17,579 no m.2 slot but I've already kind of given away the solution here you can get 219 00:16:15,060 --> 00:16:22,579 cards like this one from Angel bird that allow you to adapt a regular old PCI 220 00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:27,360 Express slot to an m.2 slot and the reason that these 221 00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:32,279 are so inexpensive is because they're not actually really doing anything see 222 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,480 here's all your power pins over here and here's all your data pins over here and 223 00:16:34,079 --> 00:16:39,839 they just go right there we have this fancy looking 224 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,959 one from Angel bird lying around but there is no reason that you couldn't 225 00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:49,440 just use an off-brand one which should run you around 13 then for our drive we 226 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:55,800 picked up the second hand Samsung 970 Evo one terabyte that cost us a hundred 227 00:16:52,259 --> 00:16:58,800 and 120 Canadian dineros which is about 228 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,480 equivalent to 87 real dollars at the 229 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:05,699 time of filming anyway actually that's probably at the time of calculating it a 230 00:17:02,220 --> 00:17:08,480 week ago which uh there we go 231 00:17:05,699 --> 00:17:08,480 we're done 232 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:16,740 no or not see that there isn't even a sub menu in 233 00:17:13,919 --> 00:17:21,839 the BIOS for NVMe drives but that doesn't mean that the system can't see 234 00:17:19,020 --> 00:17:27,780 it if we boot into Windows from our SATA drive it actually shows up in device 235 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:29,940 manager as a PCIe device it just doesn't 236 00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:35,400 show up as a drive so we need to find a workaround 237 00:17:31,980 --> 00:17:38,039 thankfully we can take a page from the 238 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:42,960 Hackintosh user's manual so all we need is a USB drive that we don't need 239 00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:48,600 anymore one gig or larger doesn't even need to be USB 3 then we're going to put 240 00:17:45,780 --> 00:17:53,400 the Clover bootloader on it and allow our system to boot from the flash drive 241 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:57,840 Clover can understand what NVMe drives are which means that it can bridge the 242 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:04,020 gap between our system which can boot to USB and clover which can read our NVMe 243 00:18:01,260 --> 00:18:08,400 drive now we don't really want a USB drive sticking off of our system if we 244 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:13,440 can avoid it so if we want to hide it but also ensure that it stays put we can 245 00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:17,640 scrounge up an old front panel USB connection from an old case that maybe 246 00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:23,240 somebody's getting rid of plug our drive into one of the many open USB 2 headers 247 00:18:20,580 --> 00:18:23,240 on our motherboard 248 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:33,179 okay there it is now we can boot from our 249 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:35,820 Kingston data traveler 3.0 here we go 250 00:18:33,179 --> 00:18:39,600 automatic boot in one second uh by the way if you don't want to just leave this 251 00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:43,160 hang in here you could use an LTT Store cable tie to hold it in place 252 00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:52,799 there now it will never move this is immediately noticeably faster 253 00:18:49,220 --> 00:18:55,200 it's responsive you know what I mean 254 00:18:52,799 --> 00:19:01,440 like let's uh here let's fire up let's fire up steam bring up task manager like 255 00:18:57,419 --> 00:19:03,780 this does not feel like a eight-year-old 256 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:07,860 system we're back in game now the performance is very similar to what we 257 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:12,600 had before but that's not the point of fast storage this is the point of fast 258 00:19:10,380 --> 00:19:17,000 storage boom I'll Tab out I'm doing stuff I'm using my computer I'll tab 259 00:19:15,299 --> 00:19:23,460 well I make sure I hit the right window and I'm back in my game it's the 260 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:27,900 responsiveness that's what makes this feel like a modern new system and not 261 00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:34,020 something from eight years ago but we're not done yet we promised you guys a 420 262 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:38,700 computer didn't we I was told I was getting fifty dollars in RGB lighting 263 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:42,360 and this is what they handed me I guess that's fair enough at this budget that 264 00:19:40,980 --> 00:19:47,100 would be a pretty stupid thing to spend another fifty dollars on actually I 265 00:19:45,179 --> 00:19:52,140 would probably go the route of adding a little bit more GPU power maybe step up 266 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:56,039 to something like a 5700 or something along those lines but realistically I 267 00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,720 don't feel like most people are gonna feel like they need to upgrade this 268 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:04,140 thing this is cyberpunk 27 seven running 269 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:09,539 on basically High presets what's our 270 00:20:04,140 --> 00:20:12,780 99th percentile lows here like 37 35 FPS 271 00:20:09,539 --> 00:20:15,360 no it's not perfect but there is no 272 00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:21,240 question whatsoever that this is playable which means basically you can 273 00:20:18,179 --> 00:20:24,120 play any game and at this price point 274 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:28,620 that is quite the accomplishment if you like this video check out the first 275 00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:32,700 video where we built the 69 rig or maybe the extended version of it on float 276 00:20:30,299 --> 00:20:36,200 plane we included some too hot for our sponsors bits in there
