last week I was down to my last gaming
PC and since then I am now below that
last gaming PC to the point where I
don't have a gaming PC to sell anymore I
don't have any gaming PC's so what I've
got right here is putting together
something from literal scraps and by
that I mean this motherboard right here
pulled out of a dumpster
each 55m e 21 and we've got for that an
i7 860 which we got for 20 Ozzie dollars
so we actually paid a bit of money for
this and that hopefully is going to go
well with this graphics card right here
GTX 560 Ti and yes that's how bad it is
I'm relying on a 720p monitor a 19-inch
but which I got for $10 to be able to
not show that how weak this GPU is in
2020 anyway we've got here 8 gigabytes
of ram ddr3 we do that for 10 dollars
and of course on any budget it doesn't
matter if it's out of a dumpster or if
it's brand new
it needs some RGB bling so we're adding
a $15.00 Arctic wind RGB cooler here
then for the case we've got this $45
Nimitz m5 so all up this is about a
hundred and 25 Aussie dollars for this
whole setup because we got the keyboard
and mouse which was thrown in free when
I did the used part summit of the month
if you guys haven't seen that we'll put
the link up here but anyway we don't
even know if this stuff works and if it
does work I've still got to give it some
tech yes loving especially this
motherboard this GPU so let's get on to
seeing if this stuff works and even if
we can play games on a 560 Ti at 720p
resolution

[Applause]
[Music]
so now we're ready to put some new
thermal paste on this gtx 560 TI except
one thing you'll notice is how big this
actual plate is here covering the GPU
and that's exactly what it is is
actually a integrated heat spreader just
like you'd see on say for instance a
3770k or a cpu from intel where it's got
to die underneath the problem with
taking these off is that it takes way
too long it's not worth your time at all
especially for a graphics card like this
which people virtually give away
nowadays so what we're going to do what
we've already done is cleaned it down
now and then we're just gonna change the
thermal paste over which will need a lot
more because the plates a lot bigger
than a typical GPU die and then we'll
put it back together and it should run a
lot better than it did before because
the thermal paste was all crusty and dry
[Music]
so now our build is complete in all its
glory and we just got this together
because this 24-pin here it just barely
fit and we had to install it before we
install the motherboard and then we've
got up the top there a 4-pin cpu
extender and now we've got a signal and
we're just got to install Windows and
then we can move on to giving this some
tech yes loving while Windows is
installed there speaking of Windows if
you guys are after a cheap Windows 10
Pro key license in today's video sponsor
s CD Keys has got you covered for 15 US
dollars after you use the coupon code
TYC sk on check out the key shows up
almost instantly and then you just grab
that key copy and paste it in the
activation box click OK and then you're
good to go
I'll put the link in the description
below
[Music]
look at my business keyboard I'm a
businessman are you a businessman and
now the PC is up and running and I gotta
say it's not looking too shabby
especially for the budget that we've got
here and one thing I didn't know was
this HP Mouse here is actually made by
Logitech so hey that's just I don't know
one thing I never knew though what we've
got right here we can set 768 P that is
the resolution so I'm guessing it's
about half as taxing as 1080p so
hopefully this gaming PC wants our games
are downloaded will give us some smooth
frame rates but what we're gonna do now
is quickly tune up the PC and then we're
gonna report back and give you guys the
FPS figures
[Music]
so after testing out a few games I was
actually pleasantly surprised with this
PC fortnight being of course the main
title there because it's what everyone
on a low budget looks for on a PC
they're like can it run fortnight and
one FPS and now with this included
monitor this little 727 6 8 P Zeus
monitor it actually gave out really good
fps and that was even with a hundred
percent resolution screen scale with the
low settings and epic distance and it
was quite smooth and I could even get a
few frags and play the game quite well
so it really hit that mark they're
getting roughly around 120 fps so I was
kind of surprised at the same time that
the 560 Ti could even get that kind of
FPS and now of course with overclocking
that's out of the question with this
build because we're using a GPU with a
single fan we've got a CPU cooler that's
not really that big and then we've got
age 55 motherboard and then we've got
the power supply which is a an tech 350
watt so all those things together
basically scream don't overclock me keep
me sort of running as cool as possible
where the GPU did go into the 80-degree
region which I know the Fermi cards
which is the codename for the gtx 500
series they did run hot by default and
so this one getting into eighty degrees
i guess is kind of normal for this GPU
architecture there was a lot of toaster
jokes going on back in the day with the
Fermi architecture and rightfully so but
nonetheless it could play the games
quite well csgo was absolutely no
problems getting really high FPS and it
was really smooth - but then stepping
over to f1 2019 even on the very low
gravity settings we only really saw
somewhere in the mid 40s on the average
FPS so not really the best result that's
still playable even on this little
budget machine right here
doom eternal I tried installing that and
tried booting it up but it just
basically flat-out didn't work out
all so there was no way around that
anyway that aside what we did here today
was put together something really cheap
and it ended up working fine and the
main thing was the motherboard for me
someone basically tossed that out and
they upgraded to the latest and greatest
stuff but that motherboard was still
absolutely fine after I gave her some
tackiest loving that thing came up like
looking almost like brand-new I was
really impressed with some of these
parts that come through and they're used
and they don't show any real signs of
being worn that hard and so that's the
main thing and the main gist of doing a
used price-performance is getting these
parts in and saying hey this is a really
good score and then turning it into a
gaming PC that gives out really good FPS
for its intended purpose which in this
case is a fortnight gaming PC though
what you can probably tell by now is
that I really enjoy doing this cookie
cutter stuff where I've just got to put
together a PC I absolutely love doing
this kind of stuff as well as just
seeing the performance of some of these
parts where in this case the i7 860 is
surprisingly still really good even to
this day as we saw with that 49 FPS it's
capable of getting some really high FPS
and in fact I'd prefer this over say for
instance an i5 2400 and of course if
you've got better gear for it you can
even overclock the CPU and get much more
performance but we didn't overclock here
today as we said before due to the
limitations though speaking of the i7
860 this ties perfectly into today's
question of the day which comes from MGL
and they asked hello X 30 for 30 and RX
580 for gigabyte can combine any good so
to answer this question quite bluntly I
do think it's a pretty poor combo in
2020 where I recently took a look at the
i-5 2400 and i-5 3470 in a separate
video and I'll put the link up there
where I found those two CPUs to be
getting phased out in 2020 and basically
the X 30 430 is an i5 750 equivalent
it's a xeon equivalent so combining that
with an RX 580 it's basically going to
be a bottleneck on the CPU side of
things well I'd recommend getting at
least an X 30 470 which is similar to
the CPU
here's a zealand equivalent of the i7
860 and so you can overclock that thing
especially if you can overclock it
you'll get some really good performance
and it will pair nicely with that rx 580
in 2020 hope that answers that question
and of course I hope you guys enjoyed
today's real budget micro build we're
honestly playing on 720p I could still
enjoy fortnight on this thing it was a
really enjoyable experience and I
remember back in the day I'd be playing
games it's like 480p or whatever those
real terrible resolutions were back in
the day and I still enjoyed games back
then even with low choppy FPS so this
thing right here it's giving out good
FPS 720p monitor and more importantly if
you're on a budget you can still enjoy
PC games hope you enjoyed this video if
you did then be sure to hit that like
button also if you've stayed this far
and you haven't subbed yet and you're
enjoying the content then you know what
to do and I'll catch you in another tech
video very soon peace out for now but
