**A $200 Gaming System: A Comprehensive Review**

I tested this system as is and then I also tested it with this in it, which is an RX7 800 XT card alone costs more than double this entire system. This system is priced at $200, while a similar build with the RX7 800 XT would cost around $450.

**Benchmarking: A Closer Look**

During the benchmarks, I took a closer look at the numbers between both sets of runs to determine which titles the RX580 was holding back the build and which ones the Zeon was holding it back. The results were eye-opening, with some games showing significant improvements when using the RX7 800 XT, while others showed relatively little change.

**Comparing Performance**

Looking at the benchmarks, I noticed that there was room for a better graphics card in this build for a majority of the games. However, not all games benefited equally from the upgrade. For example, Halo Infinite was one game where the difference between the RX580 and the RX7 800 XT was massive. The average FPS increased significantly, while the 1% loads remained relatively stable.

**Frame Rate and Smoothness**

However, in some cases, even with a higher average frame rate, the gameplay could feel inconsistent due to the wide gap between the average FPS and the 1% lows. In these situations, it would be better to have a lower average frame rate closer to the 1% loads. Additionally, I compared the smoothness of different frame rates and frame times to see how they affected gameplay.

**Upgrades and Compatibility**

When it comes to upgrades, this system has its limitations. The CPU and motherboard are not as easy to find or upgrade as other components in the build, such as power supply, RAM, SSD, and graphics card. This can make it difficult for users who want to upgrade their system in the future.

**Pros and Cons of a System like This**

The most obvious advantage of this system is its low price point. The system is not only affordable but also capable, making it an attractive option for those on a budget. Additionally, the Zeon 2640 V4 and x99 motherboard are both relatively easy to find at a low cost, thanks in part to Alli Express.

Another pro of this system is its ease of part-hunting. CPUs and motherboards can be challenging to source, but other components such as power supply, RAM, SSD, and graphics card are more universal and offer greater flexibility. This makes it easier for users to customize their build without being limited by compatibility issues.

**Cons: Limited Upgrade Path and Warranty Issues**

However, the major con of this system is its severely limited upgrade path. Even with the most capable processors that are compatible with the current socket, the system will still be behind a modern setup. This can make it difficult for users who want to keep up with the latest gaming trends.

Another con is the lack of warranty with used parts. If something goes wrong and a part dies unexpectedly, the user must replace it fully at their own expense. While this may not be an issue for all users, especially those with experience troubleshooting, it can be a significant drawback for others.

**The Verdict**

Overall, I think that this system is an excellent value at its price point of $200 and even at $250. However, I also understand that different people may have varying opinions on the system's performance and upgrade path.

If you're considering buying a used gaming system like this one, I want to hear from you in the comments below. What do you think about the build? Do you agree or disagree with my assessment? How much would you pay for a system like this?

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is a gaming PC I built for only $200 at that price some might think this is a weak and incapable system but that could be further from the truth this isn't just an Esports machine it can play much more than light titles like League of Legends counter strike Bal Etc this thing can game I'm talking modern and even a number of more recent AAA titles now with that said I'm going to be real with you this wasn't made with magic so it's not a 4K or 1440p high refresh rate ultra settings monster of a rig it was only $200 after all and made up of mostly used parts but it can handle 1080p 60 FPS sometimes more medium to low settings and for the price I think that's more than reasonable I've was able to build this with some deal hunting and I honestly think that a lot of you out there should be able to build something similar to this performance-wise for around the same price I'll go over all that and give tips on how to allocate your budget accordingly and I'll also talk about the pros and cons of doing a build like this because as you can imagine with only $200 some compromises have to be made uh so I'll discuss that so that you can decide for yourself if you think something like this is worth it or not uh but before that let's go over what's inside right after this if you're building a new pc and don't want to pay 100 plus dollars for a Windows license check out the sponsor of this video scdkey.com they sell both Windows 10 and windows 11 OEM keys for a fraction of their retail price I'm often asked what the benefits are to

severely limited when configuring your PC how you'd like taskbar settings themes and colors wallpapers screen savers lock screen start menu you'll be locked out from customizing all these without

searching for the activation settings in the start menu clicking change product key and entering it in to be activated within seconds thanks SD key for sponsoring this video and now let's get back to it we'll start off with the processor and Intel's Zeon E5 2640 V4 this has a whopping 10 cores 20 threads and when it was released the recommended price was nearly $11,000 key words there being when it was released because this processor is getting up there in age despite this being almost 9 years old these are great for lowbudget builds because these days you can find them used on AliExpress for a mere $5 and that's not something you have to deal hunt for either they're always in stock and reliably at this price this is pretty nuts because when I think of a $5 processor I think of something that's outdated and borderline e-waist I don't think of something that's capable of running modern games I bought this in the CPU motherboard bundle on AliExpress for roughly $32 before tax after a coupon and there's a bunch of these combos at varying prices they'll have different CPUs with varying core and thread counts as well as clock speeds after browsing through all the different options and comparing them side by side I decided on the 2640 V4 based on specs and price the motherboard comboed with the Zeon is this Micro ATX zus x99 P4 I I know zus sounds like a knockoff of Asus I don't know if they were intentionally biting off the name or if it just happened to be a coincidence spending this little on a motherboard I definitely don't expect it to have all the features that more modern boards have like USBC RGB headers and a ton of IO but this board did surprised me by having an m.2 slot which is pretty convenient unfortunately I won't be using it because I got a SATA SSD but hey it is there for easy future expandability this board also does have four dim slots which I don't fill up all the way but that leaves the option to easily add more me later on if needed so the Zeon I'm using is an LGA 2011 socket CPU which means that I couldn't just use any of those really affordable sub $20 coolers on Amazon from like thermalite ID cooling V2 etc those don't support LGA 2011 mounting so I had to do a bit of searching and since the overall budget was pretty small I literally chose the cheapest Tower cooler I could find at the time which was this oddom cooler I've never heard of this brand before but it was on sale on Amazon for $15 this has six heat pipes and is about the same size as all the other budget coolers mentioned earlier and it does a great job at keeping the Zeon cool my only complaint about this cooler is that the included fan has fixed LED lights this is basically mom I want RGB fan and she's like no we have RGB fan at home and this is RGB fan at home for this build because we are working with such a small budget I'll let it slide also because I won't be using this fan anyways which I'll get into later for the graphics card I went with a tried and true RX 588 GB outside of the periods when crypto turned the GPU Market upside down this card has has been very affordable ever since it's released it launched in 2017 at $230 MSRP for the 8 GB version and offered great performance for the price at the time nowadays these are abundant in the used market and I actually bought this one for a ridiculously low price of $20 and I don't expect many people to find these for that cheap so I'll adjust that in the price summary to something that's more attainable while still being a good deal this card is 7 years old going on 8 but it still pumps you just have to keep your expectations in check though 1080p around 60 FPS and some of the newer more demanding titles maybe using FSR to help it reach that Mark which I do want to highlight is a huge blessing FSR and dlss get a lot of flack from the community for a number of reasons but I think situations like this where it is used to uplift much older Hardware to keep them still relevant I think the tech should be praised I picked up the 16 gig kit of kre ECC memory rated at 2400 cl15 from alliexpress I bought ECC memory because I thought the zus x99 board required it but that ended up being error on my part because I misread the listing so yeah I could have just bought regular ddr4 memory so this is just for your information in case you do buy this board and already have ddr4 on hand or can find it for cheaper than its ECC equivalent storage wise this system is rocking 2 and 1/2 in of SSD of course this is a 500 gig Samsung 860 Evo I picked this up at a local PC Recycling shop in my area for 22 bucks most people buying new ssds for their builds today will go with nbme but I think database ones are still fine especially considering that a lot of systems in this price range usually won't have an m.2 slot anyways for the record I did ask the shop if they had any nvme drives for sale but they didn't at the time nvmes yeah no sure let me okay to M or SSD as well uh you know what the 2 and2 in ssds would be fine too I was already there for a power supply and figured why not kill two birds with one stone and knock another part off the list speaking of power supply we've got this Corsair TX750 that I also picked up from the same shop and was the main reason I went there in the first place I got this for $25 and if you've been building PCS for a while you may recognize the label on this because this model was very popular in the early 2010s for this unit that I have specifically I have no idea the age or how heavy or lightly it was used I did pick it up from a PC Recycling shop after all they do test all their parts though and give a return window in case anything goes wrong so that gave me time to test it myself and I threw an RX 6900 XT at it which by itself consumed nearly 300 watts and had no issues this system with the Zeon and rx580 at Max load pulls 350 Watts from the wall a number that's low enough for me to be comfortable with i grabb a black 24 pin cable extension from all Express for 4 bucks because the ketchup and mustard is really bad on the TX 750s 24 pin and last but not least the case which is this padle mini case CB room matx that I got from all Express for a crazy low price of $23 before tax now because of how much I paid I was expecting it to be pretty pretty low quality but man was I wrong this thing surpassed my expectations it's got a front to Side Glass open view obstruction lless design which is one of the more recent hot new trends in the case space so that's kind of nice to see in a case price this low the build quality isn't bad by any means either the panels are on the thinner side but at least this has Common Sense design practices implemented like look at this glass side panel no holes in the glass for thumb screws to go through this glass panel has proper metal lips adhere to it to attach itself up to the case there's also a power supply basement with plenty of room to talk all the cables of the old school non-m modular power supply I got as well as a decent amount of space to run all the cables where they need to go without any bulging of the side metal panel sure there's no robber grommet or cable raceways but that's kind of to be expected at this price this doesn't come with any fans so I grabbed this set of thermalite 120 mm argb fans this cost $13 always this isn't a sale price this isn't a coupon price this is the all the time price I don't know how thermite does it but for anyone who wants addressable RGB fans on a budget these provide pretty unbeatable value one of these fans will be going on the CPU Cooler like I mentioned earlier to replace that fugly one that came with it and the way the ventilation on the paddle case works out only two of the fan locations are really useful anyway since the motherboard doesn't have an argb header to control the fan LEDs I use this SATA powered controller from all Express that only cost $2 and it has some basic lighting modes pre-programmed in including solid colors which is the mode I have it set to let's take a look at the build summary and price breakdown as a reminder I'll double the price of the RX 580 here to make it more reasonable than the $20 crazy deal that I got it for doing that the build total comes in just barely over $200 before tax now if you're not as experienced with deal hunting or simply don't have as good of prices in your local area I've also made a modified list for reference if you had $250 to spend I omitted the aesthetic Parts here and grabbed some plain black fans instead of the RGB ones and this breakdown gives you a little bit more room to work with for some of the key parts also a big money saver if you're building something this low of a price is to get a case used people often get rid of their old cases for dirt cheap and even sometimes for free on offer up and Facebook Marketplace just because you know they take up so much space I've even given away free cases before uh and I picked up some for free so definitely consider that option if you are having trouble coming within budget this build was such a breeze to put together mostly due to the case not being a horribly designed half-thought out mess that most cheaper cases tend to be because of that it didn't feel like I was building a $200 PC at all it felt like I was building something closer to $400 or $500 I'll let this time-lapse Bill sequence play out followed by some Boll Glamour Shots all right so time for the benchmarks as stated earlier the target resolution for this is 1080P and I ran my regular benchmarking Suite against it which includes games that I usually test against systems much more expensive than this also because a lot of times games are bottl necked by the graphics card I wanted to see how far that $5 Zeon in here could go if there was no GPU ball neck at all so as I usually do I tested this system as is and then I also tested it with this in it this is an RX7 800 XT this card alone costs more than double this entire system this is $200 this is $450 so during the benchmarks take a look at the numbers between both sets of runs and it should paint a pretty clear picture as to which titles the rx580 is holding back the build and which ones the Zeon is holding it back uh but yeah without further Ado sit back relax and enjoy the benchmarks let me show you I be when I'm see what you will I got the power to your negativity I sing you louder I'm power sing Lou I sing you good now I sing you I sing you I sing singing got I sing I sing singing Lou now I sing you now I sing it I sing I sing sing sing n so how about them benchmarks I don't know about you but I think those results are phenomenal for $200 spent as we saw there was room for a better graphics card in this build for a majority of the games but not for all of them for example look at the difference in Halo infinite which was the most extreme case of the G Bott neck that uplift was massive going to the 7800 XT do note though that in a lot of the games even though the average FPS increased by quite a bit the 1% loads often stayed relatively the same in these situations there's not really a point in having such an high average when the gameplay would feel pretty inconsistent due to the wide gap between that and the 1% lows it'd be better to just have a lower average frame rate closer to the 1% just look at the difference in smoothness between the frame rates and frame time graphs so yeah you could use a more powerful graphics card in this build but I wouldn't go with anything stronger than say like a GTX 1070 1070 TI or any of the 1660 variants the last thing I do want to talk about before wrapping up are the pros and cons of a system like this for the pros the most obvious thing will be the low price and it's not just affordable as you saw it's actually quite capable and another Pro is that it's easy to part Hunt For The Heart of the system the Zeon 2640 V4 and the x99 board those are both really easy to find for a low price thanks to Alli Express and this is important because CPUs and motherboards are the most restricting components when it comes to compatibility making them harder to deal hunt than anything else especially for lower PRC builds like this like the case power supply Ram SSD graphics card all of those are pretty Universal and give you much more freedom and like flexibility in comparison so yeah having the CPU and motherboard be easy to find is definitely one of the pros in my opinion and for the cons I think there's only really one that sticks out for me that is going to be the major deal breaker for a lot of people if it is one uh and that's the severely limited upgrade path for this system you're pretty much stuck on an old platform that even maxing out the socket with the most capable processors that's compatible with it will still be quite behind a modern system another con is that there's usually no warranty with use Parts which makes up the majority of this build if something goes wrong and a part dies unexpectedly you have to replace it fully on your own dollar that's just a trade-off with the savings you get you know I buy Ed part all the time but I've also got quite a bit of experience dealing with them and have the means to troubleshoot so that anything go wrong not everyone is in the same position I'm not trying to scare people away from buying used parts it's just something you should consider based on those pros and cons and a price point of $200 what do you think worth it or not you guys already know my opinions on this I think this thing is awesome for $200 and still great even at 250 but now I want to hear what your thoughts are how do you think I did on the build overall with regards to the price the performance and and the Aesthetics and what would be the maximum price you think someone should pay for a system like this not everybody agrees on pricing some people might think this is worth even less some think even more than what I think so yeah let me know down in the comments below but that's going to be it for me though hope you all enjoyed and found this video

is important because CPUs and motherboards are the most restricting components when it comes to compatibility making them harder to deal hunt than anything else especially for lower PRC builds like this like the case power supply Ram SSD graphics card all of those are pretty Universal and give you much more freedom and like flexibility in comparison so yeah having the CPU and motherboard be easy to find is definitely one of the pros in my opinion and for the cons I think there's only really one that sticks out for me that is going to be the major deal breaker for a lot of people if it is one uh and that's the severely limited upgrade path for this system you're pretty much stuck on an old platform that even maxing out the socket with the most capable processors that's compatible with it will still be quite behind a modern system another con is that there's usually no warranty with use Parts which makes up the majority of this build if something goes wrong and a part dies unexpectedly you have to replace it fully on your own dollar that's just a trade-off with the savings you get you know I buy Ed part all the time but I've also got quite a bit of experience dealing with them and have the means to troubleshoot so that anything go wrong not everyone is in the same position I'm not trying to scare people away from buying used parts it's just something you should consider based on those pros and cons and a price point of $200 what do you think worth it or not you guys already know my opinions on this I think this thing is awesome for $200 and still great even at 250 but now I want to hear what your thoughts are how do you think I did on the build overall with regards to the price the performance and and the Aesthetics and what would be the maximum price you think someone should pay for a system like this not everybody agrees on pricing some people might think this is worth even less some think even more than what I think so yeah let me know down in the comments below
