Hello everyone, welcome to another video now before I get started let me quickly just shamelessly promote my second channel, the car channel, I have uploaded another video on it, we took a look at an old yellow, pretty ugly, pretty cheap car and I think it's pretty funny, so if you guys are into cars, please feel free to check that out using the link in the first line of the description down below.

Moving on, I have you another budget PC bill now, this bill that I feel best represents one of the cheapest ways to get into a budget PC gaming right now, and that is by buying and then upgrading an old pre-built desktop like the Dell studio behind me. What we have here is an old AM3 Phenom 6 core system that has had a few tweaks made to it in order to make it better at both gaming and editing.

So let's get into it, I'll show you what changes have been made as well as how it performs. So this PC wasn't actually put together by myself, no, I found this one on Facebook in its current state, and it's a perfect example of what can be done to an old system. Now I pay just over 100 British pounds for this thing which considering the specs, I don't think is too bad. It's got a Phenom X6 1035T processor and a 662 gigabyte graphics card in there, and it's a vast improvement over what would have been the original specifications including Dell's OM power supply despite how cheap I think I got it.

It's time to see whether specs like these can handle gaming in 2018. So let's take a look at a few titles, so over the next few days, I will be benchmarking a lot more games on this, I plan to do about 20 to 25 fairly modern games to see how these handles even the most recent releases, but for now and to take an initial look, I decided to test it with five of the most demanding games that were on my hard drive at the time, to give you a rough idea of how a system like this will get on in the world of gaming today.

Now some games obviously did run better than others, and I was a little surprised by some of the results, but luckily every game managed to maintain that 30 FPS 1080p target despite having to turn some of the settings down. There'll also be some stutter across some of the games that you wish to play, for example, one of the newest on today's list did struggle when it came to sort of crowded areas of combat, but it wasn't anything that I would call too significant and overall that game ran pretty well.

Other games like The Witcher for example still look stunning on even things like medium settings, and it's actually quite surprising how good the game looks. There won't be many instances when you can achieve 60 frames per second, but as I said before when I do test more games, I will be taking a look at which titles do run closer to that 60 FPS threshold, for a 30 frames per second triple-a experience with slightly reduced same medium to low settings in most modern titles, I don't think this thing really is that bad at all. I think this is a great example and really representative of what can be done with an old Dell system if you don't have too much money to spend but you want to make a few upgrades.

I definitely recommend upgrading the power supply so that you haven't got to be as cautious when it comes to shopping for a graphics card, and you can opt for more older yet power-hungry options, most international eBay stores as well, you're guaranteed to find a few cheap rebuilds just look out for ones that feature a standard ATX sized motherboard, a standard ATX size power supply, and you should be good to go and ready to upgrade when it comes to editing as well. This thing fared very nicely, I used this to edit this very video and it felt snappy it felt responsive, I use a 6 called Rise in which on paper is obviously leaps and bounds ahead of this old Phenom 6 core but I have to say that I was very happy with the performance and I could happily use it in Premiere Pro.

Overall this system I think it's OK for the price. If you want something that can target 30 FPS 1080p gaming on a budget, look for a cheap old pre-built Dell perhaps stick in a card like a 6 60, and you should have a pretty decent experience. Thank you for watching if you enjoyed this video please leave a like on it, leave a dislike if you didn't subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already, I will be back with this testing out some more games very soon, as always thank you once again and I'll see you in the next one.
