hello everyone and welcome to another video now it's not just the price of new pc parts that are super inflated at the moment the used market isn't what it used to be either with that said there are still plenty of cheap second-hand desktops floating around on sites like ebay or facebook marketplace and it makes a lot more sense to use one of these as the starting point for a cheap pc gaming build because sourcing individual parts will likely work out more expensive hoping to put together another cut price computer with as little money and effort as possible i placed a last minute bid on this fujitsu mini tower i've wanted one for ages and because i only noticed this machine as the bidding was about to end i didn't take much time to really think before throwing my hat into the ring NUMBER_TOKEN pounds was my bid this was the starting price and the only bid before it ended so naturally a few days later it arrived and i could start to assess potential upgrade options i wasn't exactly overjoyed when i cracked open the side panel but despite the proprietary motherboard and the odd layout we still had an iNUMBER_TOKEN processor and NUMBER_TOKEN gigs of memory as well as a pci express slot the included card was an hd NUMBER_TOKEN and performance wise it could barely handle fallout new vegas i then thought well maybe we could try and create a NUMBER_TOKENp capable machine for NUMBER_TOKEN pounds there was no real reasoning behind this the numbers are just the same and in today's market it seemed like a bit of a challenge to find a compatible graphics card for less than NUMBER_TOKEN pounds not to mention it needed to have no six pin power connector and work with a NUMBER_TOKEN watt power supply about the only card that fit the bill was this NUMBER_TOKEN now this actually cost NUMBER_TOKEN pounds but between it arriving and me recording this voice over i managed to sell the old NUMBER_TOKEN to a local pc repair shop for a tenner this brought the total cost of the system to NUMBER_TOKEN pounds including postage at first i thought that NUMBER_TOKENp would probably be the limit in terms of what these specs could handle that was certainly true for the more ambitious games i tried like far cry NUMBER_TOKEN and microsoft flight simulator in far cry NUMBER_TOKEN enabling fsr made performance a tiny bit better than at native but the game performed best at half of NUMBER_TOKENp and even then we only just about hit NUMBER_TOKENfps most of the time all it cost me was my eyesight which honestly isn't that good anyway the game looks like this without my glasses on microsoft flight simulator did a bit better and manages to look a bit sharper despite utilizing NUMBER_TOKEN of NUMBER_TOKENp once again i think it might look a bit sharper than far cry because we aren't surrounded by trees and foliage which always look the worst at lower resolutions moving on to the games that seemed a little better suited to this system now and i continued on at NUMBER_TOKENp because i didn't think that NUMBER_TOKEN by NUMBER_TOKEN would be possible or if it was it certainly wouldn't be playable right what i noticed at NUMBER_TOKENp is that we were quite cpu limited in a lot of situations and although the average frame rates were okay there were quite a few dips and stutters here and there likely due to the fact that we've got two cores and four threads the games i tested were all playable to a
