100$ PC that plays skyrim on high settings ?!

[andrei65]

Take a look at this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imetyeyTGYg&list=UUuiaoCwGPLzStSsoCWGv96A&src_vid=DmFVWulz7BE&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_167075
I found this today and I was really surprised what a 100$ pc can do
He basically bought the pc off ebay and bought a 5670
It plays most new games on low to high at a very playable FPS
What do you guys think ? Is this legit or not ?
Because , if it is , i'll make a similar build for just a bit more and rock with it 😀

you can buy one here..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Compaq-DX2400-Pentium-Dual-Core-E2200-2-20Ghz-1GB-80-COMBO-665-/380880874301

HD 5670
The performance is considerably lower and the low memory bandwidth might become a bottleneck for the 1GB of video memory.
Therefore, modern demanding games like Skyrim V can be played smoothly at high settings but not paired with image improving techniques, such as AA and Tesselation.

Anyway i won't play too high end games

The video poster just got a very good deal for the used PC.

That rig really isn't $100, even if he happened to get it for such, hard to replicate unless you do a lot of bartering or bargain hunting.

On that note, if you have any friends that are getting rid of their old PC (Core 2 quad builds are still quite capable), might as well get it for free and invest in a $100 gpu, you'll end up with an even better rig

Here is what I would change:

* The SSD to 60GB just for your booting device - you can always add an SSD for games later on which without having to "upgrade" any other part.

* The PSU to a Seasonic M12ii 620w - no need in your case to go with 80+ gold. Also, Seasonic is a very reliable brand.

* The RAM to Crucial Ballistix Sports - It is cheaper but deliveres the exact same performance.

This will save you quite some money already, spent it on the GPU. Buying the R9 270x would already be a great GPU for even modern games. If you go with the 7770 now you will have to upgrade a lot faster which is a far bigger investment compared to just adding for example an extra SSD which is a 100% gain =).

Also, you might want to buy an aftermarket cooler for the FX 6300 as it is a really good CPU for OC ;D. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO should suit you well + it is not very expensive!

And amazon doesn't have those parts? Or are you looking for an all-in-one build (used)? Because the parts you listed don't seem used.

 

[andrei65]

It does but it's more expensive
I also need to get a mouse and keyboard
I have a budget of 1100€
