GAMING on a Standard Family PC.....From 1 Decade ago. 

Me:mom can we get gaming pc yet Mom: no not untill our family pc breaks The PC: Unbreaking IV

The framerate in Skyrim was so bad that even the frames from the "fps" are missing!

Finally a pc i can afford

Exactly like school computers -_-

seller: doesnt work tho why do you want to buy it? BBO: yeah right...

YES, you should buy them. Because MOST of them do support Quadcore. Recipe: - old 775 PC (5$) - 8 GB DDR2 (25$) - 771 Quadcore with modsticker (10$) - Low end GPU (the best you can get for 35$, probably a GTX 650Ti or similar) = Gaming PC If you like the risk, get a scam GPU like a "750Ti" and ask for a refund, then flash it (=GTX550Ti)

Not too bad at all if you want to play some games from the late 90's to early 2000's. Great video once again!

I love the way you do your things. It went from a piece of dusty junk. To a good-looking and shiny piece of junk? I still like it and would buy it after you cleaned and tested it. XD

Just love what can be found for next to nothing. Found i7 2600, 12 Gb DDR3 and GTX 550 Ti on a PC that was in an bin. ATX-power was bend, so MB was toasted. Going to build something out of it tho... Love Your videos!

This is basically the same hardware I started PC gaming on. I remember it used to struggle to run even basic games like Counter Strike, Minecraft, Terraria and WoW at 900p. I ended up throwing it in a tip when I upgraded to a 2500k and HD 6870. The 2500K I'm still using today because of it being such a good overclocker with a 1060 6GB.

If anyone is looking for a cheap source for large HDDs look around for cable or satellite DVR boxes at second hand shops. Most come with HDDs that are a terabyte and can be had for less than $5

I'm into that background music.🤙

favourite channel, the videos are informative, motivative and entertaining. you talk as if you were a salesman, but the content shows how to get by as cheaply as possible and i love it. keep making these gems

Can it run notepad at 144p?

Drop everything! BudgetBuildsOfficial has uploaded a new video!

The 7500LE is a dreadful card, it's even worse than the "lower" end 7300GS in my benchmarks. The TurboCache is completely useless. Put in a 8800GT, this computer will be a proper gaming machine from the era.

I got myself a cheap second hand pc from a decade ago. It has an i7 processor, a gtx250 and 6gbs of ram. With some tweaking i'm able to run csgo on max settings at 100 to 150 fps with some spikes up to 300fps.

came for the title, stayed for the relaxing voice

The "Can it start crysis" joke got me. Good video mate.

Love it in all your videos its sunny in England, however, weather hasn't been too bad this week. Anyways, great video man!

Geez, I wish my local boot fairs would start up again. April can't come soon enough.

Wow man, I play on a " Standard Family PC" Exactly from 1 decade ago which it means i'm not the only one who game on old standard PCs.. yay thoguh, And thanks for sharing your experience with your "Standard Family PC".

Back in the day i played Crysis 1 with one of these. I played throw the game several times i remember i was too young to notice any lag ;) Thanks for bringing back memories!

it was fun watching you struggle with the PSU. I feel like small details like that are part of the pc building process that everyone cuts out haha

I game on my dad's Dell Dimension 8400. So basically 15 years ago. I also upgraded the ram from 1gb to 4gb.

OK the third time watching this LOL, well never mind it'll still be as good as the last time.

These acer cases are great - I built my pc into an nearly identical Acer Veriton case from this era I found in trash and with some minor modifications I even added fan to front to have better airflow for tower heatsink.

Love your channel its nice to see what you can game on on a budget because not everyone can afford a 500 to 1000 dollar graphics card, PC etc..

Fkn sick vid

I feel like you wear sunglasses old timey clothes and have those huge boomboxes on your shoulder when you go to the boot fair. Exdee

simcity 2000 music ooooooooooh memories!! :D amazing video by the way ;)

Awesome video dude, love your content 8)

CAN IT START CRYSIS????

Acer cases are generally quite nice. I have an Acer Aspire M1610 - still works but I swapped the guts out of the case for a Pentium II system instead. It looks super nice!

A year ago it still was my desktop pc... But i had a C2D 6750 and HD4850. Here in mu country (Perú) many people still have these configurations because the're still enough for office and web browsing. Nice vídeo bro, i enjoy your videos 😀

Haha everything is fun in the vid, the SimCity music, the water on the case and drying is in the back yard. Fun fact: the Acer T180 was my first computer and I still have the case laying around. Keep up the good vids and I will keep you supported on Patreon in the meantime

Nice music! Bring back that organ!

Can youu make a video of you popping a high end graphics card in an old family pc?

this video helped me as i got a old Compaq pc in a charity shop it said it was empty i looked inside it was all there but thick dust in the cpu fan and on the mother board i done what you done with aftershave to clean the mother bored it worked i got a brush and spun it around in the fan that made all the dust come out it took 30 mins to clean it but after finally paid off i put the pc back together and turned the pc on it had a issue the hard-drive was not connected as the leads were dodge i got my frenid round he repair it and we restarted the pc it cam up with system error cant load system its because of windows 7 has broken on it and lukly my other frenid said they get me a windows 7 for the computer hopefully i can get it to work not bad for £10 this video really helped as that pc was my first second hand pc i got this video is brilliant as you made it sound easy to do it thnkyou for making the video

Not seen this one for a while. Only tech channel where I watch the videos more than once.

How good that board smelling tho

Skyrim looks more like daggerfall

I love when youtube recommends me actual youtube channels like this one :D

Diggin' the Sim City music :) The nostalgia feel is real.

SimCity 2000 music!

You should start using Rainbow Six: Siege as a bench marking tool, it's getting more and more popular and it does have a built-in bench marking tool available.

Great video ! I find it really relaxing !

Reminds me of my grandmothers PC i used to play on when i was around 10. had a Sempron, 512mb ram and onboard Radeon x200 graphics. Also, I'm Miss Frosty on your server.

does that DVD drive still work after you put water over it?😂😂 BTW, great video! love your channel!!!

2 pounds is too much for me.

I love the simcity 2000 music in the background :D

Amazing videos as always :)

Good video. Please add games that systems could play and are more time specific to era of the comuter & it's parts, like DOOM 3 or F.E.A.R,etc ( I realize the 7500 LE card is a hurtin' video card.)

If it has a OEM NVidia card inside, why does it have a ATI sticker on the case?

The Delboy of PC repairs, love it!

LOL, I love the SimCity2000 music in the background :D

I'm guessing the graphics card is the main problem here? Cos your 2.4GHz Pentium 4 & Radeon X800 Pro combo could actually run Crysis unlike this

#notificationsquad like for the note squad

12:04 I like this part with the snow ❄️🙂❄️

that sick simcity music during the build!

You sound like the tts/text to speech voice a bit

Noice it can play half life 2 that means it's good

That CPU cooler cone reminds me of the cones that dogs get put on their heads!

Awesome video! ☺️

for me minecraft wont even run on 640x480 :(

nooo you watered the DVD drive !

I had that exact pc when I was younger, I am on the biggest nostalgia trip rn

Yo bro, congrats with the 100k subs!!!

I'm not sure i'd consider Minecraft at 900p and 30fps "playable" lol

MY PC CAN’T PLAY MINECRAFT WITH EVERY SETTING SET TO LOW AND AT 480p!!!!!

I came for the budget PC content, I stayed for the Sim City 2000 music. Have a like.

You gave me games when I least expected it!!

Probably plays fortnight 1fpd (frames per decade)

First

I had the same PC. Bought it from Amsterdam. And now back in Bulgaria I still have it as a sleeper (kinda) with that case, an i3 and a 750ti.

I have no idea what you are talking about but your still entertaining me

I was jamming out to the Sim City 3000 music!

This is really neat. I once went to a recycling center and got a q6600 with 8800gt, 2 gb ram but not hard disk for free. Guess they had no idea what treasure they had

Nice touch with the SimCity 2000 music.

Not bad, I like these older PCs, they're still semi-usable even to this day. If you want a PC for older games, or just general basic tasks, then these are fine, especially with an SSD and at least 4GB (preferably 8GB) of DDR2. And yes, I remember both the AMD version and this one - and yes, the old £2 PC became the £7 Hazard PC with two PSU's in tandem!

great video another success road to 100k :D

This system reminds me of my dad's older PC from 2007,an Acer Aspire micro ATX tower, featuring Windows Vista too, memories...

This guy's "boot fairs" are legendary.

Even more interesting is what you can do with these PCs nowadays in terms of upgrading and expansions. My old setup was from the same era; it served me for more than 10 years until I finally decided it was time to move on. A good old Gigabyte P35DS3R, oc'ed Q6600 and eight gigabytes of RAM paired with at least 750ti or latest 1550ti will easily run any modern game in 1080p, maxed out with totally playable framerates. Not only that, but both streaming and high quality recording will be totally possible (especially if you're going to use nvidia encoders to do all the dirty work). Add a decent SSD and you can really breathe life to those old workstations. This is really possible under a tight budget, especially if you're going to hunt for used components.

you could make a basic NAS/server out of it with all those drive bays! x ps: big fan of ur channel, keep up the good work bro

Finally, a Gaming PC that fits in my budget!

MY good old Core2 Quad (i9300) is running great as a secondary PC with a GTX 550ti 1gb). I use on the side for instant messaging, light gaming, and mostly RU-vid and to watch streams on. I took it apart the other day and cleaned up all the dust inside and now it runs like a champ.

Kudos for Sim City backing track...

Wow that SimCity 2K music brings back memories.

Nice Cleaning 😍

who agrees that this channel is the better, more budget obeying, version of Linux Tech Tips

It's amazing how far we've come in terms of old hardware being usable. Nowadays, a 10 year old pc such as an optiplex, precision, or hp z series could still be used for medium duty gaming with their i7s and xeons!

thank you for saving this pc

I still use that exact case in a build at my Grandmas, it was the family PC from about 10-12 years ago and I've just upgraded the parts over the years.

Did I just see the Oasis subreddit? I now love this channel.

Other people says this is a bunch of trash, but for us this is a lost gold :)

Very comprehensive vid

Diggin the soundtrack for this vid! Def some SC2k or updated music from it :D

Wish i had $2 just laying around to buy a pc. Your so lucky!

I once had a Acer computer with a Geforce 7500LE *(I think)*, the framerate problems can be traced back to this gpu. it is absolutely horrible for just about everything I threw at it *(although i had a terrible celeron at the time)*. This GPU somehow managed to have less power than the intergrated GMA950 that came with it. believe me, I played Need for Speed: Underground 2 at a groundbreaking 22 FPS through the whole game at a 640x480. And just a tiny tiny bit of higher settings caused it to plunge the framerate to single digit levels. Absolutely fantastic. 11/10 (great video btw)
