$50 Gaming PC Challenge! #Helpful Post

ey guys this is Austin and today we're

going to be doing a little bit of a

different video so I'm here with my

buddy Jay's two cents so we thought what

if you already have an old computer

laying around or access to it does it

make more sense to buy a new GPU and put

it into that so this is the first

episode of all said scrapyard worth I

think it's time to hit Craigslist $30

for a Core 2 Duo machine

this one goes 100 95 bucks though

alright 5

it also says Windows Vista on it I mean

that's what but finest operating system

ever it's clearly what I want my life be

sir Athlon 64 for 50 bucks this might

not be crazy okay what I'm gonna text

him now what's another here's a please

buy sell trade and repair hey so a

friend and I we're trying to do a

project and we need a little bit like an

older and cheaper desktop that has a PCI

slot okay perfect much appreciated man

have a good one it's not far away it

sounds like it's got options and if it's

maybe missing something

could talk the price down a little bit

and it sounds like yeah lots of parts so

even if we don't want to sale a fully

built system like if we're able to get

everything we need we can throw

something but if it doesn't have like

say an air cooler all right so I heard

thank the guy that I texted before we

found this other shop so I think it's a

really good back-up plan in case this

store doesn't work out how far is this

from the store there they're both in

Fontana okay so they're in the same city

and they are available today so I think

we got a good backup once we got to the

store though we quickly realized we

might be in a little bit of trouble I

know for a fact then it turns on what

about these guys these are the core to

Joe he's got no Rambo yeah he's gonna be

pretty complete system I gettable

guarantee you it'll turn on there are a

few options that could sort of work but

the system we really wanted was the

$50.00 Chrysler's PC hi I'm the one that

was texting you about the computer for

sale if we could get an address and come

meet up if you were really interested in

it it's working right all right how's it

going hands like three blocks away

Oh perfect whatever okay so so this guy

was like this is like an old guy okay

one of the key a it wasn't someone that

beat up the computer it literally sound

like an old man that just got a new

computer she was trying to get a couple

bucks for his old one so I think we

really lucked out right now 50 bucks 50

bucks is pretty much perfect the two

gigs of RAM worries me a little bit and

it's a 32-bit system so we might not be

able to do everything but I mean we're

all in on this computer less than $200

right now get to the yellow house no

that's a lot of purchase

all right we have been successful so

Craigslist pulled it up so we've got a

hunch new gig hard drive a little dusty

but man we blow this thing out throw

graphics card in here you got wireless I

got a card reader it's got bonus stuff

yeah he's bringing the heat right now I

mean like it's actually hot okay so we

successfully made it it is five o'clock

so I still can't believe we scored this

for 50 bucks 80 bucks I look really

happy

although now I realize missing up but oh

so we could 45 you know money back

I mean we do what we have to digs a gram

that's the only thing I worry about some

of the games and benchmarks probably

won't work ideally we want it for but we

realized that trying to keep this on the

super low and hitting

or gays wasn't really gonna happen so

not only is a fifty bucks we scored

upgrades because it says Windows Vista

but it has windows 7 pro albeit 32-bit I

mean this is like what a nine year old

system just like chose closer than seven

yeah this actually is a pretty solid

card like it's not it doesn't need

external PCI power so it's perfect for

something like this so on addition to

our sick graphics card we have a

dedicated Wi-Fi card and a modem because

the future you need help oh you know

what I'm not sure I've never done this

before in here will you do it like this

right if it doesn't go just push harder

there we go moment of truth

and I mean that's something got damaged

in transit I mean we did check before we

bought it to make sure it where a

surprise would be if it didn't move I

feel like this might because it's a

really old system I feel like this might

be one that we have to go into the BIOS

and set it to do external GPU which

ended up being a problem because we

actually didn't have a VGA cable lying

around so one quick trip to Best Buy

later we now have a VGA cable I can't

believe we didn't have one are we adding

that to the price of the system this

monitor is like alright alright let's

look at the device manager though and

see if the GPU is even seen there are

you back okay so but it's not seeing

anything plugged in right now for the

GPU is it I mean it all the way it looks

like it maybe not after some tinkering

we got the card to boot

however we were about to run into a much

bigger issue right is it a dual core at

3800 plus is that a dual core is that a

single core wait hang on wait let's

let's Google this per second

oh no what are we actually what single

core 2.4 carats oops this actually might

be a big problem I think all of our

games need dual core well we could

benchmark publisher that's that's a joke

when it came time to install the

graphics drivers we realized just how

screwed we were oh my goodness these are

64-bit only damn ah ok maybe we pivot

maybe this is a hundred dollar gaming PC

build and we use that

240 luckily you're sitting right here

and r7 240 now I know for a fact this

will support 32-bit windows so and it

really it brings that price down a lot

now mind you the 240 is not a card that

I really

recommend for most things but for a

situation like this so when junkyard

battles runs into failure we don't give

up

oh no we double down on debt failure so

with a little bit of upgrade action with

the 240 let's give this a try all I got

let's see 40 slid right in no problem

well clear this away don't worry this

this never happened

don't worry is totally not so to save

some time so we're not here to like

midnight I'm using a laptop and a

external drive just to load all our

Steam games so hopefully once we get

drivers installed we plug it in and

we're good to go

oh yes zero Oh money in the menu but

still I mean that's really all we really

care about gaming is overrated let's

just take 120 FPS all about the splash

screen yes what do you think it

automatically picked for us low low low

off off off 1080p I see a medium I see

very what shader details very high

should we try it - try what it thinks it

can handle there's no way she can they

say 8x what the hell 16 frames per

second we've got 8x msaa right now loses

I actually kind of play a plug it well

you say kind of but still with such a

low powered CPU next we tried dropping

BOTS and playing online to 720 okay so

look at that

32 FPS 34 fps

so we just gained almost double grand

it's a shooter yes at csgo and I know

see it die hard csgo players right now

we're throwing something at the screen

like that is not playable hey if it's

this versus not having a computer ok so

go into the settings let's let's crank

it crank it back up yeah leave it at 17

no go back to 1080 since we're entirely

CPU bottlenecked in theory running at a

higher resolution will put more strain

on the graphics card to even perform

itself alright so now we're playing mind

you still low or a 10 43 44 45

it's totally visible at 100% playable

it's not even jittery 60s because you're

getting you're in that year I'm in that

small spot but still put look at the

ground just look at the ground yeah it's

even able to play some relatively newer

games like dota 2 provided you're

willing to deal with a lower frame rate

jump into an older game like the

original modern warfare and it not only

works but a play suprisingly well if you

want to play some indie game

stuff this is perfect oh yeah I think

the cool thing is if you don't have a

computer right now and you just want to

like build your first PC or even just

like work on one right this is a super

easy upgrade to do

grandma's got one in the garage

collecting dust you know hey grandma can

I have that PCE oh sure take it yeah mow

some lawns spend 60 bucks on a GPU and

look I'm really happy with how this

turned out like it's not a killer gaming

PC it's not gonna blow you away but it

works I really like find myself

speechless yeah but this it works man
