The FUTURE Of Budget PC Gaming?

I try and pre-empt the budget office PC meta by 7 years.

Play some Minecraft on the Dawid Does Minecraft server courtesy of our friends at Linode!
It works on Java version 1.19.3

I know this made the video length longer but I love how you replace the components one by one instead of instant overhaul. Letting us see what sort of components we need to prioritised when we need to fight in the alleyway in the future.

I actually laughed out loud and physically snorted when you put the final touches on the build. You only get better at this the more you do it.

you know its a good day when dawid uploads yet another pc video

Steve from gamer nexus said that the 13-100F is just about comparable to the 9900k which was A $500 CPU until a few years ago.
The 13-100f is around $120
So its crazy that a few generations later, we are getting the same performance for about 20% of the cost.
This probably has a lot to do with ryzen being very competitive and good value.

Thank you for continuing to do awesome/stupid/silly/useless stuff I wish I could afford to do. I live vicariously through you.

I have an optiplex that came with an i9 9900 and it came with that measly blower cooler, at 60w it was throttling

Hahaha. I love it. The cut to the massive GPU, huge fan, and a shit ton of cables sitting on top of the little SFF is too funny.

Your going to break YouTube. Your new found PC niche of content is quite refreshing. "Unusually Painful PC builds" definitely could be the next big thing. And don't think that everyone watching your channel doesn't have one of those somewhere (I swear there isn't one in my office) laying around.
Keep up the good work.

Best part of the week is Dawid uploading!

[ahodbikes]

great refreshing take on a very old PC video theme. i love the budget inspiron projects and i was kind of sad when they stopped being as viable for little side projects/profit! the idea of seeing how far you could take a modern office PC instead is cool and i think it's been about the right amount of time for this to happen again.

[mattm]

this video is gold! thanks Dawid! im actually in the process of rebuilding an old desktop into a entry level budget gaming rig. the timing of your video couldnt have been better

[brandoncruz]

I'm so glad I found a new tech channel to watch. Your dedication and fun make you the only channel whose videos don't bore me.

I believe that "sudden onset seizure" in the cyberpunk benchmark is attributed to the crowd density setting. I know that area in the benchmark is specifically targeted to testing the processor and how it handles crowds. Generally in game you wont see many NPC's like that apart from generally populated areas such as corpo plaza or any busy main thoroughfare which explains the better frames in actual gameplay. I had a similar experience when upgraded only my GPU and my processor consistently struggled in that area of the benchmark

I'm surprised how well most modern games ran on that iGPU by just throwing in a couple sticks of good RAM, and all while using such little power. I think that's really the key to future budget builds versus just replacing all the components with high end stuff.

Given what happened to the 13 & 14th gen, I'm pretty sure this will end up in dumpster much less than 7 years....

I love that YouTube has a full spectrum of tech content, this being chaotic evil, but One of the most enjoyable by far

Dawid they sell adapters that allow you to power these Dell motherboards with a regular power supply. Sometimes your stuck having to use the Dell cooler though because they like to do proprietary spacing as well as attaching the cooler to the tray instead of having a backplate. Other than that they are still mATX most of the time so you can transplant them into a DIY PC case.

5 years ago, I got an office PC for $180 that had an FX 6300 on a m5a97 board. Despite the FX series poor rep for gaming, I enjoyed it from an r9 270 gpu up to an rx 580 8gb. The PC was basically brand new and was easy to upgrade, full ATX and a large case with lots of ventilation for adding extra fans, a really good deal considering the price-similar options of the time.

[Joedad]

Bro, honestly dont even know how to express how much i love the ideas you come up with for your content man

[ProjectPhysX]

11:43 holy fuck. It proves a point though: a dumpster mainboard is enough, and those super overpriced $300-$1500 mainboards are unnecessary.
