2020 has been a really rough year but
don't worry tech yes is going to be
coming in today
as santa bringing that present with
showing you guys
how you can build a pc that can game
for under 100 dollars
and this comes about with picking up
deals like this
a graphics card that had no fan on it
and so what we did was we got a couple
of zip ties
attached to 12 centimeter fan and this
is an rx
560. then we've got two used drives
which are going to couple
with this banged up pc that we picked up
for 37 dollars
that had the x58 motherboard and i7 cpu
first gen
and also a cooler and power supply in it
then all these parts after we've given
them some tech yes loving
we're going to chuck them in this new
old stock case that we got which is from
the 2005
era and we got this for roughly 7.50
all the prices i'll put up on the screen
for you guys so let's pull this dirty pc
apart and then transfer it
into a more suitable new home today's
video is brought to you by
scdkeys delivering you that retail
single and use the license key for only
12
bucks after you use the coupon code

after all
[Music]
ready to install on our case but one
thing i'm just pretty excited because
i haven't done this for a little while
with all the new products coming out and
stuff this is kind of like
therapy for me however the logic behind
this is that we're just booting it up
making sure everything works before we
install it
in the case and the reason being is if
we put in the case and something's
not working then we haven't wasted all
that time in replacing whatever
could be faulty now this is actually a
good practice for new builds just as
well as it is for use builds
because even then when you buy a new pc
you could come in
to some faulty ddr4 memory however with
this board nothing was faulty but
we had to change over from triple
channel mode to dual channel mode
because
it was just giving out a recovering loss
dram
file size which is sometimes this
happens on x 58 gigabyte boards in
particular
on a budget of course
[Music]
so what we saw from this display of
benchmarks on this beautiful banger
right here
was two of the titles did pretty well
and world of warcraft the good news is
if you guys
want to play this game even at 1080p
something like this with a first gen i7
and an rx 560 with a fan zip tied to it
will do extremely well where we were
getting over 120 fps
with good 1 and 0.1 lows and the whole
system didn't even get over 65 degrees
and this is in my hot ambient climates
here of 27 degrees so what this means is
that world of warcraft will pretty much
run on a lot of potatoes out there now
we did have the graphics settings set to
the three preset
and i found that this gave the best
blend between smooth fps
and graphical detail then moving on to
cs go we had 1080p
medium settings they've overhauled this
game where it kind of does look a little
bit better nowadays and we're getting
from 100 to 150 average fps
i couldn't actually measure in this game
properly because the
new cs go now blocks out river tuner
from benchmarking the title however it
does seem like the
one percent or at least the point one
percent lows are
not that good that did not stop me from
playing this free-to-play game
and having a good time though the last
title we're gonna pull up here and this
will
sort of give us a little bit of a shock
to the system in 2020
with a hundred bucks and that is uh
assassin's creed
valhalla where we got here at 1080p
4fps at 100 screen rest and then we
stopped it down to 50 screen res which
would make it around a true 720p
picture we're getting 50 fps on the
lowest settings
and the 1 low wasn't too bad either so
basically this pc if you want to play
the latest titles you're probably going
to get
a half decent experience at 720p though
if you want to play
some of the titles that have been around
for a few years you're going to get a
very smooth experience
and i've got to say that a lot of the
titles that i play have been around for
a few years because they've got the
gameplay to back it up
though let's talk about this box right
here the case
absolutely phenomenal i was surprised
that these old 2005 cases
can perform so well in terms of
temperature now the whole build was
pushing out around 240 watts while we
were gaming
but that didn't stop it from keeping the
temperatures pretty cool where at first
gen i7 we'll put out
quite a bit of heat and this thing was
handling absolutely fine
the 12 centimeter fan that we zip tied
onto that 560 that was doing an
absolutely fine job too
however since this case was designed
back when it was in 2005
the companies that designed these
outlandish dragon themed cases
didn't really have noise as a top
priority where i gave you guys a quick
listen
[Music]
asmr it's not unbearable but it is
definitely a lot noisier
than a lot of newer builds especially if
you're into more expensive nzxt
corsair and fractal cases but for me
personally this was
the build where i had the most fun this
month so far where
i've given these products tech yes
loving from tip to toe
and it comes to me as a bit of a break
from all this new stuff that's being
released and we've been covering it here
at tech yet city we've got 6 800 1600 xt
6900 xds nvidia's got four different
graphics cards they've released the
amd's released
heap of different cpus and i just hope
that they will stop releasing so many
new products because
i like to cover it in the sense that i
get a feel
of where the new market's going and
especially in terms of that price
performance
but this right here is definitely where
it's at
if you want to have a bit of fun and not
risk losing much money or any
any money at all and in this case if we
put together a nice little kit
we can even make a couple of bucks if we
re-flip it on the used market
so that's what for me use parts is all
about it's about having a lot of fun
building a pc
getting into it seeing what fps you can
pull out in certain titles
and of course in the process giving
parts that people otherwise throw away
a new life and a new meaning the one
thing that we didn't do however with
this build was overclock it and there's
two reasons for that the first reason
we're using an rx 560. it's not the most
powerful graphics card out there say for
instance we had an rx 580 on this build
i would have easily prioritized
overclocking on this first gen i7 950
much more but the second thing was we
were using the stock cooler as well
and the stock coolers aren't that
capable in terms of getting more
especially out of a first gen i7 so with
that in mind i decided to
avoid overclocking this time around but
usually
i'd definitely be overclocking if i was
putting in a 6 core 12 threaded
x5650 for example which this motherboard
is capable of doing that
but one thing that we did do was lock in
those xmp
profiles which does give us a smooth
boost to fps and that aside if you guys
enjoyed today's video then be sure to
hit that like button for us
and for the continuation of the used
price performance and the tech yes
loving
and do let us know in the comment
section below what was your favorite
piece
of today's build love reading those
thoughts and opinions as always
just like this question of the day which
comes from ryan hensley they ask you
didn't clarify is this
for australia usa or both or around the
globe minus a few locations granted they
don't allow certain things to enter as
giveaways
so this is for the rx 6800 which we
announced at the start of that video
that we're going to be giving away
this card because of the gpu shortages
worldwide
so it is a worldwide giveaway if there
are certain restrictions in your
country if you win then just send us a
reply
and i'll technically sell you the card
for a dollar let's just put it that way
the second part of this question was
about the 5700 non-x flashing it to an
xt
and they're having problems with it uh
crashing on the stock bias so
that is a problem where the 5700 xt
would be i guess slightly binned better
and that it has a higher more aggressive
clock speed out of the box
and so your 5700 didn't make the cut in
that case we did state that in that
video i'll put the link up here where
in the case of the gaming x 5700 that i
got
it was flashing to a 5700 xt it's kind
of like halfway in between
but it worked flawlessly but you can
come into problems if you try to flash
say an rx
470 to a 570 and a 480 to a 580
where it just won't be as good as a bint
uh
gpu silicon as that one you're trying to
flash it to so in that case that's where
you use the backup bios that you've got
and you flash it back to its original
state and you just call it a day
and live to fight another day and
speaking of living to fight another day
if you guys enjoyed this one you've
stayed this far and you're enjoying that
tech yes content
then you know what to do hit that sub
button ring that bell and i'll catch you
in another tech video very soon
peace out for now bye
