hey bro just wanted to tell you that the quality of your videos is increasing incredibly and good job on that man. hope you succeed way more cuz u deserve it :)
If you use a APU (and running in the integrated graphics obviously) make sure that you have *dual channel* memory, it's literrally the double of perfomance for just having two sticks
My first PC: AMD Semperon Socket 462 A @ 1.6Ghz 512MB DDR RAM Nvidia FX5500 300W PSW 70GB IDE HDD This was my Dads PC that we played games like Doom 3, Age Of Empires 3 and other games on, he had it in 2004 when the Semperon came out and this was a very good PC compared to the others, Good thing is that i still have this PC kept safe as it has a lot of valuble memories, it has WIndows XP (32-Bit) and it still runs like brand new, i am so suprised it deosn't suffer from any problems and it's the most reliable PC i've had, i wish i could replicate it perfectly for my own use or at least extract whats on it to an external HDD so i could re install windows on it and get it up to date, or at least make a sleeper PC build with this case, it holds so many memories and i would love to use it once again :) 16 years and it still runs and has been in my life since i was 3 years old, being 16 now i've had it for all my life xP Used it until i was around 12-13, PC gamer since 3 xD
hehe it's almost like I wrote it :D my first pc was also Dad's pc, we played old games, it was in early 2007 AMD Sempron 3000+ Socket AM2 @ 1607MHz A-DATA 1GB DDR2 GeForce 6100 yay! :D 160GB SATA 350W Eurocase came preinstaled with the most basic version of Vista I still have all of it :D
Dude, this totally takes me back to when I first started out with my PC. Those were the days... I also happened to start out with an APU, just as you did. I started back in December 2013 with some of my own savings, and that's when I had a socket FM2 based A6-5400K, I used to overclock that thing to Hell and back! I'm still using my original Asus A85XM-A board in a project build I worked on a while back. I'm currently using that machine as a backup for when I'm away from my main rig, and that's currently paired with an A10-6800K.
No, they gave away 5 million free copies, but now they've made an "Ultimate Edition", which includes the base game and ALL THE DLC, but it cost's £33.99, OR if you already had the base game, you can buy the Ultimate edition upgrade, that gives you ALL THE DLC for only £26.24(or less if you already had some of the DLC)
Heh, funny. My first "gaming PC" was an i386/sx @16MHz with a generic VGA adapter card. It was a "gaming PC" because I added a joystick port card and an Adlib sound board. :P
Ah, I loved the Voodoo cards. I had a Voodoo 2, and once the Voodoo 3 came out got a second one used to run in SLI. I kept using those for a long time, even after they were discontinued and I moved on to a Riva TNT because a lot of older games still ran better on them.
Wow, that brings back memories. For some reason I kept my two voodoo 2s and my voodoo 3, but not the rest of the PC. LOL, guess I just thought that SLI over many generations of different video cards and generations would be an effective thing.
3dfx is my favorite start up success story. There are vids here on YT where the core team of 3dfx explains how it all got started. Very interesting... they said that back then basically everybody said they were simply nuts. "What ...daisy chain, only for 3d, only full screen?" is what most people thought. One reason they were so successful is that they clearly understood that just hardware isn't enough, you need the software environment as well. So they worked very early on closley together with game developers to develop their Glide API. They were bought by Nvidia in 2000, went bankcrupt in 2002, but boy, they had a run.
My first desktop was a 7870k apu system. I can relate to this heavily. I can only imagine how well the next gen apus will be for people getting into pcs.
Bro, its too late now, I want to get time machine and travel back to 2012 and tell you to run in dual channel ram mode by using two sticks, since APU benefit significantly....oh well
Rampid Panjandrum Well with my R7 260X (equivalent to 750ti) I can play GTA V, Battlefield 1, Watch Dogs 2, Mirror's Edge Catalyst and more nice games sooo xD
That was fun! My first computer rocked a Pentium 4 processor, 512MB DDR1 and an ATI AGP card I couldn't remember. It was a gift from my dad and I was so delighted. I remember being disappointed when I "upgraded" to an X1600 Pro, but my framerates didn't change much. What made those frames fly by was a sound card. The first gaming rig I built myself had an Athlon X2 5600+ cooled by a humongous Zalman CNPS9500, HD2600 in Crossfire and overkill 4GB of Corsair XMS2. Those were the days!
My dad got his (our) first gaming PC around 25 years ago, a 20Mhz 386SX IBM PS2 Model 80. Okay, it was predominantly a business machine, but it could still run all the games fairly well. After spending the previous decade playing ZX Spectrum games, this was a revelation. We've had many PCs since then, too many CPUs and GPUs to mention.
My first gaming build started as a 486-DX2 with a 1MB PCI graphics card. It got upgraded little by little to an AMD K6/2-333MHz machine running Windows 98 and a Riva TNT AGP running on a babyAT mainboard and power supply.
Huh. My first "gaming" computer was a custom built box running an AMD Am386DX 25, 4MB of RAM, Tseng Labs ET4000, and 80MB 4200 RPM hard drive. I later expanded it with a 300MB hard drive, Sound Blaster 32, and 8MB of RAM. Ran older DOS stuff really well.
Had the same processor but instead had a GT220 and 8GBs of ram back in 2012 as well :) Can't believe how well it held up throughout the years while I played games like Minecraft, Farcry 3, Dota 2, and Rocket League. APU is life
Cyrix P-166+ 133mhz 16 mb edo ram Tseng labs Et6000 2mb WD caviar 2gb (3,2 gb compressed with drivespace) Sony cd-rom drive x8 Viewsonic 15ES Dos 6.22 (+norton commander) & Windows 3.11 for workgroups There, I feel old now. :')
Im getting money together for my first ever desktop pc... currently i have 300€ one day the dream of having a budget gaming build will become a reality! I love your videos!!!
My first "Gaming"-PC was a 500Mhz Pentium III with Riva TNT2. "Upgraded" to a 1,6Ghz Single Core Intel Atom Netbook with GMA 3600 Graphics. Next one was basically the same with 2 cores. Next one was an E1-2500 Notebook, which kind of blew me away at the time because all the old games I played before with terrible framerates worked fine on this thing. Got into building PCs later, a GTX260 + X2 7750 Combo was my strongest build. And now, I'm here with my i5-6402p and a RX460. Don't let specs decide your PCs purpose. Any PC can game, even if it may not be the newest and greatest.
+Alpha Wolfie Dude, I have that same card. It's a beast at 1080p. For newer games, try medium settings. It handles pretty much every game you could throw at it.
My old card was a GTX 760 and thats a really good card for its age. Witcher 3 at 1080p around 40 fps with maxed out settings (without Hairworks). Some games I played at 4k like GTA 5 or Skyrim or other older titles on my nativ 4k Display. :D
Alpha Wolfie Yeah you can get a good 100mhz on the GPU clock and 80mhz on the ram. That's my situation at least cause I have the 2GB Pre OC'd Gigabyte model.
It is fine for most people. 60Hz has a maximum input lag of 17ms which is smaller than ping variants across US. In other words, it is completely normal for somebody at 60Hz to have a lower input lag than somebody with 244Hz monitor because they have a better ISP.
dope, I was sold on the apu's promise towards playing dirt 3 and other titles I love. I got my check and cashed it all on my first P.C. brought a tear to my eye :'D
I saved a lot and built my first pc on January this year - i5 6500 3.4ghz - GTX 1060 6Gb - 8 Gb Ram All this in a 20 euro case Loving the PC Gamer life :)
This video reminds me a lot of my first gaming pc. I had a pre-built desktop with an AMD A8-5500 with the integrated Radeon 7560d, 4 gigs of 1333 MHz ram, and a 1 TB HDD. I had to run cs go at 720p lowest settings to get a stable 60 fps. I ended up getting a better power supply and a GTX 670. Modded minecraft was a bit much even for that, so I upgraded it's ram to 12 gigs to help out with the 200+ mods I was running. And finally, before handing it off to my sister, I threw in an SSD from an old laptop I had.
Not everyone plays competitively to go pro. Some might just play it as casuals, anyways most people with budget PCs probably don't even have a 120 hz monitor so it would be useless.
MightyDirtKing Sorry I wasn't exactly right, it not totally useless, It can help with input lag making it feel smoother, but your not seeing anything past 60. However you will still be suffering a lot of screen tearing.
when i started with gaming on PC there wasn't gaming specific pc's it was an 486sx25 Mhz. machine running windows 3.1 :P love the channel keep up the good work.
I feel you, my first "gaming" PC was also an A4 APU, I did manage to get a 60GB SSD for the boot drive at the time and some pretty fast RAM which did help with the IGPU performance a little, it was by no means fast, even back then, but it got me through a year of saving for what is now my current build, an ageing FX 8320. Ryzen is of course the next step for me. Definitely getting a R5 1600.
Oh man I remember my first PC. On a budget I bought it for $50 (excluding $25 shipping) 3-4ish years ago. Core 2 Duo E4600, Nvidia 8800 GT, 4 GB DDR 2 Corsair Ram. Those days are over though. Saved up for a while and bought a nice new PC. i5 6600k, GTX 1070 FE, 16 GB DDR 4 Corsair RAM. Man, I can't imagine how I could stand gaming on that old PC lol.
My first PC was a 486 sx-2 66 mhz with 4 MB RAM later upgraded to 16MB, 2X CD-ROM drive. Never forget playing X-Wing and Wing Commander III on that old badboy.
My very first PC when I was like 10 yrs old was a Pentium 90hmz, 32MB of RAM, S3 Trio64V+, SoundBlaster AWE64, and Windows 95. Rocked the hell out of some Duke Nukem 3D, Mechwarrior 2, and Decent. Damn I feel old now.
the first gaming pc i built was not that long ago because we obtained high-speed internet in 2014 and for that time i was using a HP with a amd dual core X64 cpu in it and on-board graphics, then i bought a bunch of second-hand parts from friends and some parts from newegg so i ended up with- Gigabyte GA-78LMT usb3, AMD Radeon R7 240, AMD FX 6300, Stock CPU fan, Ranger R8-G case, 1TB Seagate HDD, and a old copy of windows 7 on a refurbish disc
My first PC is the one I'm still using, and it has received much upgrading love over time and become a Frankenstein's Monster of Operating Systems and tasks, somehow. -Asus Z97 AR mobo -Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5 GHz (gave it a Cooler Master Vortex 2 cooler eventually) -Originally 8 GB of DDR3 1600 MHz RAM > upgraded to 24 now -Originally an Nvidia GTX 750 > upgraded to a GTX 1070 I later added the following hardware for better compatibility with old games, particularly when running under Windows XP: -Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum (PCI-E) -Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS (PCI) -Nvidia GT 740 (2 GB, single slot) Multibooting: -Linux Mint 18.1 KDE -Windows 10 -Windows 8.1 (with modded "7" start menu) -Windows XP (32-bit) There are also 3 HDDs, 1 SSD, 2 optical drives (one for bitsetting, the other for Blu-rays), an SD card reader, and a _ton_ of fans. I am insane.
My first PC was the Targa Visionary AV 2500+ can't seem to find a spec sheet in English but I remember sticking a Geforce 440MX in it a few years later, upgraded the ram from 256mb to 512mb (which honestly made a HUGE difference) then my first actual gaming build was an E6600 2.4ghz overclocked to 2.7, 2GBs of DDR2 667mhz, Windows XP Home 32bit, HD 3850 (upgraded to the HD 3870 roughly a couple of months later as the 3850 was just trash) and was playing on a 1440 x 900 Monitor, It was honestly pretty good but what made it 100x better was getting the Gainward 1GB 8800GT, that thing was an absolute BEAST. Many many years later I rebuilt and got a i3 3420 3.4ghz, 8GBs of Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR3-1866, 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 (might have been F1 can't fully remember, all I know is it completely failed after roughly a year of having it, got another and that failed within a few months, never bought a Samsung HDD again) but the saving grace was my friend was given a HD 7870 and I bought it off him for £70 which was an absolute STEAL, crazy good card, even today it performs well. But now I have a Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5, i7 4790k (didn't get lucky with the silicon lottery... It can't even overclock with a Hyper 212 Evo) 16GBs of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2400mhz, 2 Seagate Barracudas 2TB each, Crucial M500 240GB SSD, Corsair CS850m Gold (850w PSU) and a MSI GTX 1070. I'm more than happy with my rig, still on a 1080p monitor but plan to either go with a 1440p 60hz or 1080p 144hz for my next upgrade.
My first gaming PC was surprisingly worse than this which I got around the same time.. Had an Athlon 64 x2 5200+, 3GB RAM, 80GB HDD and beautiful integrated graphics. Ran minecraft with a blazing 30FPS on lowest 800x600 which I actually played almost 24/7. Great video, really shows the struggle of some peoples experience
MY first PC that I built was a Pentium II with a Voodoo Banshee and 384MB of memory. My second PC, which was a machine that I considered to be a gaming rig, was an Athlon with a Geforce 4 and 1GB of memory.
I know the feeling. I still have my first "gaming" PC, an old AMD E-450 laptop. I didn't really buy it with serious gaming in mind, but it did do so surprisingly well. The GPU is better than that, but the CPU is only a lowly 1.6GHz. Older games like Oblivion ran really well, medium settings at around 30-45FPS. Fallout:NV hit the absolute limits though, at 20-25FPS.
I'm not sure about that APU, but generally running dual channel doubles the available memory bandwidth for the GPU as well, might have been worth those extra pounds. My first PC was pretty decent though, FX 8350 with a Radeon 7970
not too bad. my first build was in 2012 as well. Phenom II x4 960T Black Edition unlocked to 6 cores and an ASUS 550TI. Ran things pretty nicely for a long time and didnt upgrade until about a year ago
Took my pentium III packard bell to the recycling centre the other day. Remember how pleased I could play Duke Nukem I was. My old 386 could play Doom though :) .
I'l binging on your content since longer than I want to admit since I built a budget gaming PC based on a m9000 HP upgraded with a q9500 overclocked, 8 GB of DDR2 and a GT740. I would suggest using setFSB for easy ocerclock on those old OEM motherboard. It works wonder, I did gain around 0.6 GHZ extra on average with it.
My first "gaming PC" was an off the shelf Compaq with a dual-core Pentium D processor 2 GB RAM, quickly upgraded to 4GB, and the cheapest graphics card they sold at Best Buy at the time. This was in 2007 ish... oh, and it ran Windows Vista.
My first real Gaming PC build was a Q9550 overclocked to 4.5 ghz on a DFI LanParty DK P45 T2RS Plus (legendary board for overclockers) with 8 gb of DDR2 and a SLI of GTX460 from MSI (using HackSLI, the good old days). That was back in 2010-2011 and that was PC was pretty damn good back then. I miss that PC...
I remember the very first gaming PC that I built myself was in early 2001, had a 1 ghz Pentium III cpu, 256 mb pc133 ram, 32 mb geforce 2 graphics card, 20 gb hard drive, DVD-Rom and CD burner, creative sound blaster card, and Microsoft Windows ME which I later upgraded it to XP.
see this is how it felt like when I played on my MacBook. then once you build your first real PC you get such high frame rates. but it doesn't really matter because it just depends on how much fun your having. and it seem like I had more fun on my MacBook lol
My first PC was a AMD A8 5500 CPU 8GB DDR3 RAM and a GT 630 1GB model. I remember running Half Life 2, L4D2 and Portal 1 and 2 at 1080p 60fps on medium-high
My first gaming pc i built a few months ago AMD FX-4300 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor (Overclocked to 4.0 ghz) PNY Nvidia Geforce GTX 950 2GB DDR5 Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply its a small start but so far it gets the job done.
yessss Oblivion is amazing, one of my all-time favorites too. I like it even more than Skyrim to be honest I'd like to see you use it more in your benchmarks, perhaps for newer systems you could try it with some graphical mods
my first pc (that i built before i had a emachines) was not a gaming pc but more for designing ,specs: G6950 2.80 and 8gb ddr3 and here comes the kicker a FX 3800 qaudro and i built this all in 2012 and i spent somewhat 1200$ on it
First gaming pc was a Intel Celeron from the Pentium III era ruining at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM, a GeForce 2 MX 32MB and a Maxtor 20GB HDD. It soldiered on from 2000. to 2006. when i upgraded. It ran most games of the time at 1024x762 or 800x600 with low to medium details. Still have it somewhere in a box of parts :D
Well my pc was upgraded a lot of times. It all started with an Q6600, AMD 7750 and 4 gb ram. That was a pretty good pc at 2013 and could run most of the games. I used 7750 til few weeks ago and upgraded my whole build since i ran into some problems... Now i'm rocking an i5 7400, GTX 1070 and 16 gb DDR4 ram :D Before this build i used FX 6300 7750 2 GB OC 8 gb ram This PC was an absolute budget beast. Now it's high end 1000 dollar build :D
Tried my first gaming PC out again recently after 7 years, absolute nightmare! Loud PSU, EAH5770 which didn't work with Samsung monitors, tested it with DOOM (2016) and couldn't have a playable experience on 720p with every setting on lowest
"You were lucky!" My first PC was a K6-2 300/32MB RAM/4GB HDD/SiS6326 8MB AGP 2x onboard graphics. It managed 10fps at 320x240x16 in UT on DM-Fractal (well, pretty much most small maps) in software (because the graphics chip couldn't handle it). Its replacement 18 months later, a K6-2 450/128MB RAM/20GB HDD/Savage4 Pro 32MB boosted that to 50fps at 640x480x16 in D3D. To be fair, the original PC was crippled by that woeful 6326 - a Voodoo 4MB would've significantly improved performance, even without a boost to RAM capacity or CPU speed.
Ah, trips down the memory lane... I got my first PC back in 1998 (or so). It was a Cyrix 266MHz. Got an upgrade in 2000 when I entered college. Unfortunately I can't remember what configuration it was. Next one was after I graduated in 2004. An Athlon 2500+ but I didn't try any sort of overclocking. I fried that motherboard while trying to swap some RAM sticks and got a Dell Vostro 200 with a Core2 CPU and 2GB of RAM. I passed that machine to my wife in 2010 when I switched to a laptop and she used it until a few months ago. I plan to make a few videos on that old machine, try to upgrade the CPU to an E8400 and see if it makes any difference. For the last four years I've used an HP Envy dv6 laptop. i7-3630QM/8GB/GT 635M. Yes, it can run Crysis (all three of them, in a way or another). I hope to move to a Ryzen machine in the next few months.
Ah memories, my first PC was an Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz, 128mb Gefore 6200, 1GB DDR2 RAM and a 80GB HDD. Turns out i had no idea about PC specs or prices and ended up buying a toaster. The toaster managed to play COD 1, COD UO, Far Cry, Battlefield 2, Halo PC and many others, with BF2 and other games struggling to hit 30fps. Since then, i've had two major hardware changes and I am planning my next one at the end of this year, check them out: 2nd Build: - Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 3.00Ghz (CPU bottleneck) - 4GB DDR2 - GTX 560 Ti 1GB - 1TBH HDD 3rd Build: - Intel Core i7 2600K 4.2Ghz - 8GB DDR3 1600mhz - 256GB SSD - 1TB HDD - GTX 560 Ti (replaced with GTX 970 a year ago) 4th (Planned end of year) build: - Intel Core i7 7700K - 16GB DDR4 3200mhz - 512GB SSD - 3TB HDD - EITHER a GTX 1080Ti or the next NVIDIA replacement for it. Looking forward to it :D
I'm still on my first PC
That bottleneck
you should sell that Rx 580 they are expensive af right now; cuz its a bit of a bottleneck, get a 1050Ti
it would do for now i should imagine but i would recommend getting a i5 to get rid of a bottleneck
abdou ketfi Why sell the rx 580, when he can buy a better cpu? Still is not that much bottleneck.
Cezar Petrea Cuz the Rx 580 is now the price of a 1070 but the performance of a 1060
hey bro just wanted to tell you that the quality of your videos is increasing incredibly and good job on that man. hope you succeed way more cuz u deserve it :)
Lol, still sitting here with my pentium 4 machine, 2.5gb ddr ram and 512mb gpu and waiting for a new pc :D
galaxy_ dust specs for new pc?
ddr ram? ddr 1?
Pr0xy Cast Lol
Varun Gandhi Yes
Uhm What No lies, I swear to God dude :)
Way back... in 2012. Dude wot? That was like yesterday.
I mean it's 5 years ago
my system has a gpu from 2012 and cpu from 2015 and it performs as good as any prebuilt 600$pc and it only cost me 200$
For me, my very first gaming PC I built myself was in early 2001, when Windows ME was the latest and greatest operating system.
Is it just me or is he way more fun to watch than Linus or Austin In my opinion :)
true, Linus is all abou look at my new 50 000 monitor.. and Austin actually aint that educated about technology
sami R true but it’s cool to look at crazy expesive Linus stuff but Austin suscks
linustechtips more like linusbragtips amirite?!?!?!?!?!?
He forgot to install the io shield lol
Aasim_TCSwagz often when you buy a second hand mobo, you don't get one :-(
Eh unless you are clumsy when plugging stuff in its not gonna cause any harm not using it.
Aasim_TCSwagz forgot to mention it didn't come with one haha
RandomGaminginHD what case is it I have the same case
if you have the same case then why do you need to ask which one it is?
What is been your favourite Favourite graphics card Ever built
James Cocker I love the 9800gtx+. Classic beast.
thank you my gaming pc is ok link: CPUZ Validator!
t.co/L26HwBgNPa
used to have one of those
that's also the one that I'm having now
How about making this a lanbox buying a quadcore athlon & throwing a used midrange card like a gtx 460 or gtx 560ti into it ?
If you use a APU (and running in the integrated graphics obviously) make sure that you have *dual channel* memory, it's literrally the double of perfomance for just having two sticks
My first PC:
AMD Semperon Socket 462 A @ 1.6Ghz
512MB DDR RAM
Nvidia FX5500
300W PSW
70GB IDE HDD
This was my Dads PC that we played games like Doom 3, Age Of Empires 3 and other games on, he had it in 2004 when the Semperon came out and this was a very good PC compared to the others, Good thing is that i still have this PC kept safe as it has a lot of valuble memories, it has WIndows XP (32-Bit) and it still runs like brand new, i am so suprised it deosn't suffer from any problems and it's the most reliable PC i've had, i wish i could replicate it perfectly for my own use or at least extract whats on it to an external HDD so i could re install windows on it and get it up to date, or at least make a sleeper PC build with this case, it holds so many memories and i would love to use it once again :) 16 years and it still runs and has been in my life since i was 3 years old, being 16 now i've had it for all my life xP Used it until i was around 12-13, PC gamer since 3 xD
hehe it's almost like I wrote it :D my first pc was also Dad's pc, we played old games, it was in early 2007
AMD Sempron 3000+ Socket AM2 @ 1607MHz
A-DATA 1GB DDR2
GeForce 6100 yay! :D
160GB SATA
350W Eurocase
came preinstaled with the most basic version of Vista
I still have all of it :D
XD i'd love to see these 2 Pc's of ours compete though i think mine would lose tbh XD but hey o3o
My first PC was Core 2 Duo E7500 2GB RAM and GT9500. Still using it, upgraded CPU to Q8300, RAM to 4GB.
My first pc was:
Pentium 4 2.66Ghz
1,5GB Ram DDR400
ATI Radeon 9550 256mb 128bit
80GB HDD
Lucas Bispo those times when 1.5 ram was a big deal
I had a

256MB ram
Geforce mx440 64mb
40gb hard drive
Lucas Bispo 8kb of ram on mine
My first pc:
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 1.92ghz

8gb ram ddr3 1066
ati hd4770 512mb 128mbit
120gb ssd and 3tb hdd
Dude, this totally takes me back to when I first started out with my PC. Those were the days... I also happened to start out with an APU, just as you did. I started back in December 2013 with some of my own savings, and that's when I had a socket FM2 based A6-5400K, I used to overclock that thing to Hell and back!
I'm still using my original Asus A85XM-A board in a project build I worked on a while back. I'm currently using that machine as a backup for when I'm away from my main rig, and that's currently paired with an A10-6800K.
I will repeat my question from previous video: Will you consider adding Payday 2 to benchmarks?
yeah its free now (i think)
No, they gave away 5 million free copies, but now they've made an "Ultimate Edition", which includes the base game and ALL THE DLC, but it cost's £33.99, OR if you already had the base game, you can buy the Ultimate edition upgrade, that gives you ALL THE DLC for only £26.24(or less if you already had some of the DLC)
Varun Gandhi no its no longer free the ultimate eddition got realeased
£26 only for DLC? *DLC Unlocker master race*
Well I just added ALL THE DLC(369 items) to my cart for Train Simulator for the low low price of ONLY £4,118.30
Heh, funny. My first "gaming PC" was an i386/sx @16MHz with a generic VGA adapter card. It was a "gaming PC" because I added a joystick port card and an Adlib sound board. :P
Nice. i386/sx => me too. Which means I am not the only one around the age of 45. :)
Not as old as you, my first gaming PC was a Pentium 233MMX with a voodoo3.
Ah, I loved the Voodoo cards. I had a Voodoo 2, and once the Voodoo 3 came out got a second one used to run in SLI. I kept using those for a long time, even after they were discontinued and I moved on to a Riva TNT because a lot of older games still ran better on them.
Wow, that brings back memories. For some reason I kept my two voodoo 2s and my voodoo 3, but not the rest of the PC. LOL, guess I just thought that SLI over many generations of different video cards and generations would be an effective thing.
3dfx is my favorite start up success story. There are vids here on YT where the core team of 3dfx explains how it all got started. Very interesting... they said that back then basically everybody said they were simply nuts. "What ...daisy chain, only for 3d, only full screen?" is what most people thought. One reason they were so successful is that they clearly understood that just hardware isn't enough, you need the software environment as well. So they worked very early on closley together with game developers to develop their Glide API.
They were bought by Nvidia in 2000, went bankcrupt in 2002, but boy, they had a run.
my first gaming pc was a Pentium g620 4gb ddr3 1333 ram and galaxy gt 610 2gb ddr3 heavily overclocked
gt 610 lol
my first gaming pc was a c2q q6600 with a gtx 285
You've gotten a lot better at being in front of the camera, you definitely seem a lot more confident. Good job, and keep up the great videos!
is it capable of watching all my porn files watching at 4k at least 50 fps?
FPS = faps per second ?
My first desktop was a 7870k apu system. I can relate to this heavily. I can only imagine how well the next gen apus will be for people getting into pcs.
Bro, its too late now, I want to get time machine and travel back to 2012 and tell you to run in dual channel ram mode by using two sticks, since APU benefit significantly....oh well
love this guy's stuff, it's just good to not be slapped in the face with "look how much I can spend" builds. Keep the quality content coming 👍👍
i ran i3 4160 paired with 750ti
jung kim Mine was similar actually I had an FX 4300 and a 750ti the 750ti was a great card
Ethan Eldredge I still use it haha
Rampid Panjandrum Well with my R7 260X (equivalent to 750ti) I can play GTA V, Battlefield 1, Watch Dogs 2, Mirror's Edge Catalyst and more nice games sooo xD
My PC has an EVGA GTX 750 Ti paired with an AMD FX-6300. It works really well.
On Beat yeah I can run a lot of games at 1080p on medium to high settings
That was fun! My first computer rocked a Pentium 4 processor, 512MB DDR1 and an ATI AGP card I couldn't remember. It was a gift from my dad and I was so delighted. I remember being disappointed when I "upgraded" to an X1600 Pro, but my framerates didn't change much. What made those frames fly by was a sound card. The first gaming rig I built myself had an Athlon X2 5600+ cooled by a humongous Zalman CNPS9500, HD2600 in Crossfire and overkill 4GB of Corsair XMS2. Those were the days!
still better than a mac....
Nope, my iMac can play games at 1080p...
sirlock194 mac is a disgrace
Sharkboy1006 a mac is $2000+ .. this pc is 38$ lol
I bought my iMac for 800€ and it can play almost every game on medium/high settings at 1080p...
sirlock194 ya and if you spend that on a real pc you'd be gaming at 1440p
i just wanted to say never change RGIHD youre an amazing youtuber
I was watching porn but RGIHD is life...

Sahendra Mallick noice man. accha Hai . pc gamers I suppose?
My dad got his (our) first gaming PC around 25 years ago, a 20Mhz 386SX IBM PS2 Model 80. Okay, it was predominantly a business machine, but it could still run all the games fairly well. After spending the previous decade playing ZX Spectrum games, this was a revelation. We've had many PCs since then, too many CPUs and GPUs to mention.
i wish you were my friend :/
My first gaming build started as a 486-DX2 with a 1MB PCI graphics card. It got upgraded little by little to an AMD K6/2-333MHz machine running Windows 98 and a Riva TNT AGP running on a babyAT mainboard and power supply.
TFW the Pound price is going down so you always get the pound to dollar price wrong.
Bubble Double As of uploaded date...
Bubble Double is it really?
Bubble Double karma for brexit
Huh. My first "gaming" computer was a custom built box running an AMD Am386DX 25, 4MB of RAM, Tseng Labs ET4000, and 80MB 4200 RPM hard drive. I later expanded it with a 300MB hard drive, Sound Blaster 32, and 8MB of RAM. Ran older DOS stuff really well.
Start a go-fund me so we can donate to get you a new camera!
Had the same processor but instead had a GT220 and 8GBs of ram back in 2012 as well :) Can't believe how well it held up throughout the years while I played games like Minecraft, Farcry 3, Dota 2, and Rocket League. APU is life
My first pc:
i3 2100
gts 450
12gb ddr3 ram
My main pc:
a8 7650k
gtx 1050ti
16gb ddr 3ram
Termis my first pc was a i3-something laptop with 4gb of ram. It couldnt really play a lot of games:D
Perhaps i3-3110m ? It's the CPU that I had in my laptop^^
Cyrix P-166+ 133mhz
16 mb edo ram
Tseng labs Et6000 2mb
WD caviar 2gb (3,2 gb compressed with drivespace)
Sony cd-rom drive x8
Viewsonic 15ES
Dos 6.22 (+norton commander) & Windows 3.11 for workgroups
There, I feel old now. :')
Termis Do you plan on keeping that APU with the 1050ti or are you going to replace it?
why do u have an apu...
Im getting money together for my first ever desktop pc... currently i have 300€ one day the dream of having a budget gaming build will become a reality!
I love your videos!!!
Its like a MAC basically hahahaha
Kristjan better lol
@WindowsLogic you must be fun at parties.
lol apple fanboy delete ur mac
WindowsLogic Productions Mac doesn't have access to DX, so it's still rubbish.
Yeah, which costs 5k
My first "Gaming"-PC was a 500Mhz Pentium III with Riva TNT2. "Upgraded" to a 1,6Ghz Single Core Intel Atom Netbook with GMA 3600 Graphics. Next one was basically the same with 2 cores. Next one was an E1-2500 Notebook, which kind of blew me away at the time because all the old games I played before with terrible framerates worked fine on this thing. Got into building PCs later, a GTX260 + X2 7750 Combo was my strongest build. And now, I'm here with my i5-6402p and a RX460.
Don't let specs decide your PCs purpose. Any PC can game, even if it may not be the newest and greatest.
Hey random i got a GTX 760 for around £40. Do you think its still capable for another few years or nah?
+Alpha Wolfie
Dude, I have that same card. It's a beast at 1080p. For newer games, try medium settings. It handles pretty much every game you could throw at it.
My old card was a GTX 760 and thats a really good card for its age. Witcher 3 at 1080p around 40 fps with maxed out settings (without Hairworks).
Some games I played at 4k like GTA 5 or Skyrim or other older titles on my nativ 4k Display. :D
+Badcyborg1337
I ordered it 3 days ago. It was a sweet deal since its the Twin forzr 4GB. Does it have good overclocking potential?
Alpha Wolfie Yeah you can get a good 100mhz on the GPU clock and 80mhz on the ram. That's my situation at least cause I have the 2GB Pre OC'd Gigabyte model.
I love this background... It's so relaxing !
60 fps isnt even enough for cs:go
It is fine for most people. 60Hz has a maximum input lag of 17ms which is smaller than ping variants across US. In other words, it is completely normal for somebody at 60Hz to have a lower input lag than somebody with 244Hz monitor because they have a better ISP.
Since 2012.. Makes me feel old.. The first PC I built was an only 486 to play flight sim
I feel like an *extreme* scrub sitting here with my 6700K and 1080.
U r.
I cant even ffort 980ti
Well, me: 4770k with a rx 580 crossfire
Kostas Sterling I have a 6600 and a 1060 6gb, and I’m very fortunate I have it as I understand other people it’s not as easy to gets the parts/pc.
ugh.... x99 is so outdated.... i think ill have to upgrade
Kostas Sterling useless, I have an overpowered INTEL HD 3000.
dope, I was sold on the apu's promise towards playing dirt 3 and other titles I love. I got my check and cashed it all on my first P.C.
brought a tear to my eye :'D
so i guess you dont reply to emails :C
I saved a lot and built my first pc on January this year
- i5 6500 3.4ghz
- GTX 1060 6Gb
- 8 Gb Ram
All this in a 20 euro case
Loving the PC Gamer life :)
looks like rocket league on iOS
This video reminds me a lot of my first gaming pc. I had a pre-built desktop with an AMD A8-5500 with the integrated Radeon 7560d, 4 gigs of 1333 MHz ram, and a 1 TB HDD. I had to run cs go at 720p lowest settings to get a stable 60 fps.
I ended up getting a better power supply and a GTX 670. Modded minecraft was a bit much even for that, so I upgraded it's ram to 12 gigs to help out with the 200+ mods I was running. And finally, before handing it off to my sister, I threw in an SSD from an old laptop I had.
my Lenovo died on me
My Lenovo Laptop dies around 4 times a year, and i got warrantie for another 5 years.
Maybe a follow-up video to this one, sticking one of your good GPUs on it and seeing how it runs? Would be an interesting watch!
30 fps is NOT an ok framerate in cs:go. Heck, you shouldn't settle for anything less than 120 fps, which really isn't hard to achieve.
Not everyone plays competitively to go pro. Some might just play it as casuals, anyways most people with budget PCs probably don't even have a 120 hz monitor so it would be useless.
MightyDirtKing Sorry I wasn't exactly right, it not totally useless, It can help with input lag making it feel smoother, but your not seeing anything past 60. However you will still be suffering a lot of screen tearing.
The max input lag caused by a 60Hz monitor is 16ms. In practice it is closer to 8ms. For most people, it is drowned out by network lag.
I have i3 4170 gt 740 and I get about 200 fps average with 1024x768 res
when i started with gaming on PC there wasn't gaming specific pc's it was an 486sx25 Mhz. machine running windows 3.1 :P love the channel keep up the good work.
but can it run crysis ?? XD
Awesome video dude, you inspired me to create my own youtube channel! I love all of your videos and can't wait for the next one :)
Your first gaming pc has ddr 3 ... my actually pc has ddr2 quite unfair XD hahahaha
I feel you, my first "gaming" PC was also an A4 APU, I did manage to get a 60GB SSD for the boot drive at the time and some pretty fast RAM which did help with the IGPU performance a little, it was by no means fast, even back then, but it got me through a year of saving for what is now my current build, an ageing FX 8320. Ryzen is of course the next step for me. Definitely getting a R5 1600.
my first gaming PC is my current gaming PC with a GT 610😂😂😂 dare to pin
I got a 560 ti boi
btw I'm gonna get a 1060 as soon as my high school ends next year :P
LULZ even my 8600 GT was better
Oh man I remember my first PC. On a budget I bought it for $50 (excluding $25 shipping) 3-4ish years ago. Core 2 Duo E4600, Nvidia 8800 GT, 4 GB DDR 2 Corsair Ram. Those days are over though. Saved up for a while and bought a nice new PC. i5 6600k, GTX 1070 FE, 16 GB DDR 4 Corsair RAM.
Man, I can't imagine how I could stand gaming on that old PC lol.
I built my first system at the end of 2010. It had a AMD 965 "Black Edition" Phenom II X4, a Radeon 6850, and 4GB of RAM.
My first PC was a 486 sx-2 66 mhz with 4 MB RAM later upgraded to 16MB, 2X CD-ROM drive. Never forget playing X-Wing and Wing Commander III on that old badboy.
I started doing pc gaming and building this year and haven't been any happier with it. The only use for my ps4 is just for playing battlefield 1.
please keep making videos you are by far my favourite youtuber and always will be. god bless
My very first PC when I was like 10 yrs old was a Pentium 90hmz, 32MB of RAM, S3 Trio64V+, SoundBlaster AWE64, and Windows 95. Rocked the hell out of some Duke Nukem 3D, Mechwarrior 2, and Decent. Damn I feel old now.
the first gaming pc i built was not that long ago because we obtained high-speed internet in 2014 and for that time i was using a HP with a amd dual core X64 cpu in it and on-board graphics, then i bought a bunch of second-hand parts from friends and some parts from newegg so i ended up with- Gigabyte GA-78LMT usb3, AMD Radeon R7 240, AMD FX 6300, Stock CPU fan, Ranger R8-G case, 1TB Seagate HDD, and a old copy of windows 7 on a refurbish disc
My first PC is the one I'm still using, and it has received much upgrading love over time and become a Frankenstein's Monster of Operating Systems and tasks, somehow.
-Asus Z97 AR mobo
-Intel Core i5 4690K 3.5 GHz (gave it a Cooler Master Vortex 2 cooler eventually)
-Originally 8 GB of DDR3 1600 MHz RAM > upgraded to 24 now
-Originally an Nvidia GTX 750 > upgraded to a GTX 1070
I later added the following hardware for better compatibility with old games, particularly when running under Windows XP:
-Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum (PCI-E)
-Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS (PCI)
-Nvidia GT 740 (2 GB, single slot)
Multibooting:
-Linux Mint 18.1 KDE
-Windows 10
-Windows 8.1 (with modded "7" start menu)
-Windows XP (32-bit)
There are also 3 HDDs, 1 SSD, 2 optical drives (one for bitsetting, the other for Blu-rays), an SD card reader, and a _ton_ of fans.
I am insane.
You should as a side project get the fastest ddr3 you can for this and see if it helps
My first "gaming" PC had an i5 530, 4GB RAM and a GT 330. It was a prebuilt PC from Medion. I'm very happy I'm not using it anymore.
My first PC was the Targa Visionary AV 2500+ can't seem to find a spec sheet in English but I remember sticking a Geforce 440MX in it a few years later, upgraded the ram from 256mb to 512mb (which honestly made a HUGE difference) then my first actual gaming build was an E6600 2.4ghz overclocked to 2.7, 2GBs of DDR2 667mhz, Windows XP Home 32bit, HD 3850 (upgraded to the HD 3870 roughly a couple of months later as the 3850 was just trash) and was playing on a 1440 x 900 Monitor, It was honestly pretty good but what made it 100x better was getting the Gainward 1GB 8800GT, that thing was an absolute BEAST.
Many many years later I rebuilt and got a i3 3420 3.4ghz, 8GBs of Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR3-1866, 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 (might have been F1 can't fully remember, all I know is it completely failed after roughly a year of having it, got another and that failed within a few months, never bought a Samsung HDD again) but the saving grace was my friend was given a HD 7870 and I bought it off him for £70 which was an absolute STEAL, crazy good card, even today it performs well.
But now I have a Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5, i7 4790k (didn't get lucky with the silicon lottery... It can't even overclock with a Hyper 212 Evo) 16GBs of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2400mhz, 2 Seagate Barracudas 2TB each, Crucial M500 240GB SSD, Corsair CS850m Gold (850w PSU) and a MSI GTX 1070. I'm more than happy with my rig, still on a 1080p monitor but plan to either go with a 1440p 60hz or 1080p 144hz for my next upgrade.
My first gaming PC was surprisingly worse than this which I got around the same time.. Had an Athlon 64 x2 5200+, 3GB RAM, 80GB HDD and beautiful integrated graphics. Ran minecraft with a blazing 30FPS on lowest 800x600 which I actually played almost 24/7. Great video, really shows the struggle of some peoples experience
your videos are getting better over time
The same PC I had but with fm2 and a AMD a4-4000
MY first PC that I built was a Pentium II with a Voodoo Banshee and 384MB of memory. My second PC, which was a machine that I considered to be a gaming rig, was an Athlon with a Geforce 4 and 1GB of memory.
Even though I'm not a pc gamer but I love your channel and pc stuff!
I know the feeling. I still have my first "gaming" PC, an old AMD E-450 laptop. I didn't really buy it with serious gaming in mind, but it did do so surprisingly well. The GPU is better than that, but the CPU is only a lowly 1.6GHz.
Older games like Oblivion ran really well, medium settings at around 30-45FPS. Fallout:NV hit the absolute limits though, at 20-25FPS.
I'm not sure about that APU, but generally running dual channel doubles the available memory bandwidth for the GPU as well, might have been worth those extra pounds.
My first PC was pretty decent though, FX 8350 with a Radeon 7970
I still have my first quad core gaming rig as well. I only use it for some I-net and older game titles today. Q9550, 8gb DDR2, GTX 460 1gb, Win7.
not too bad. my first build was in 2012 as well. Phenom II x4 960T Black Edition unlocked to 6 cores and an ASUS 550TI. Ran things pretty nicely for a long time and didnt upgrade until about a year ago
Took my pentium III packard bell to the recycling centre the other day. Remember how pleased I could play Duke Nukem I was. My old 386 could play Doom though :) .
My first "gaming" pc was an old intel pentium e2140 with a hd7750 on a pcchips p17g motherboard. 10 years of loyal service :')
I'l binging on your content since longer than I want to admit since I built a budget gaming PC based on a m9000 HP upgraded with a q9500 overclocked, 8 GB of DDR2 and a GT740. I would suggest using setFSB for easy ocerclock on those old OEM motherboard. It works wonder, I did gain around 0.6 GHZ extra on average with it.
My first "gaming PC" was an off the shelf Compaq with a dual-core Pentium D processor 2 GB RAM, quickly upgraded to 4GB, and the cheapest graphics card they sold at Best Buy at the time. This was in 2007 ish... oh, and it ran Windows Vista.
My first real Gaming PC build was a Q9550 overclocked to 4.5 ghz on a DFI LanParty DK P45 T2RS Plus (legendary board for overclockers) with 8 gb of DDR2 and a SLI of GTX460 from MSI (using HackSLI, the good old days). That was back in 2010-2011 and that was PC was pretty damn good back then. I miss that PC...
I remember the very first gaming PC that I built myself was in early 2001, had a 1 ghz Pentium III cpu, 256 mb pc133 ram, 32 mb geforce 2 graphics card, 20 gb hard drive, DVD-Rom and CD burner, creative sound blaster card, and Microsoft Windows ME which I later upgraded it to XP.
see this is how it felt like when I played on my MacBook. then once you build your first real PC you get such high frame rates. but it doesn't really matter because it just depends on how much fun your having. and it seem like I had more fun on my MacBook lol
I like your room, so quiet and peaceful :)
I'm still using my first gaming PC I built in 2012, but it was decently high end at the time (over $1200 in parts) so it's still fine today.
my first pc had a 700mhz celeron with 64mb ram, 11mb allocated to onboard graphics and a 40gb hard drive.
mind you this was in 2010
My first PC was a AMD A8 5500 CPU 8GB DDR3 RAM and a GT 630 1GB model. I remember running Half Life 2, L4D2 and Portal 1 and 2 at 1080p 60fps on medium-high
i'm still using my first gen motherboard LGA 1156 :') GA-H55M-D2H
i3 540 > i5 750 , 4GB 1333 > 2*4GB 1333 , GTX 650 2GB > GTX 970
Upgrading is the best part. Makes the wallet happier. : )
My first gaming pc i built a few months ago
AMD FX-4300 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor (Overclocked to 4.0 ghz)
PNY Nvidia Geforce GTX 950 2GB DDR5
Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
its a small start but so far it gets the job done.
yessss Oblivion is amazing, one of my all-time favorites too. I like it even more than Skyrim to be honest
I'd like to see you use it more in your benchmarks, perhaps for newer systems you could try it with some graphical mods
my first pc (that i built before i had a emachines) was not a gaming pc but more for designing ,specs: G6950 2.80 and 8gb ddr3 and here comes the kicker a FX 3800 qaudro and i built this all in 2012 and i spent somewhat 1200$ on it
might I add, your house feels so cozy :3
First gaming pc was a Intel Celeron from the Pentium III era ruining at 1GHz with 512MB of RAM, a GeForce 2 MX 32MB and a Maxtor 20GB HDD. It soldiered on from 2000. to 2006. when i upgraded. It ran most games of the time at 1024x762 or 800x600 with low to medium details. Still have it somewhere in a box of parts :D
Well my pc was upgraded a lot of times. It all started with an Q6600, AMD 7750 and 4 gb ram. That was a pretty good pc at 2013 and could run most of the games. I used 7750 til few weeks ago and upgraded my whole build since i ran into some problems...
Now i'm rocking an i5 7400, GTX 1070 and 16 gb DDR4 ram :D
Before this build i used
FX 6300
7750 2 GB OC
8 gb ram
This PC was an absolute budget beast.
Now it's high end 1000 dollar build :D
Tried my first gaming PC out again recently after 7 years, absolute nightmare! Loud PSU, EAH5770 which didn't work with Samsung monitors, tested it with DOOM (2016) and couldn't have a playable experience on 720p with every setting on lowest
"You were lucky!" My first PC was a K6-2 300/32MB RAM/4GB HDD/SiS6326 8MB AGP 2x onboard graphics. It managed 10fps at 320x240x16 in UT on DM-Fractal (well, pretty much most small maps) in software (because the graphics chip couldn't handle it). Its replacement 18 months later, a K6-2 450/128MB RAM/20GB HDD/Savage4 Pro 32MB boosted that to 50fps at 640x480x16 in D3D. To be fair, the original PC was crippled by that woeful 6326 - a Voodoo 4MB would've significantly improved performance, even without a boost to RAM capacity or CPU speed.
ohhh, that greeting was kinda hyped 😆😂😂
Ah, trips down the memory lane...
I got my first PC back in 1998 (or so). It was a Cyrix 266MHz. Got an upgrade in 2000 when I entered college. Unfortunately I can't remember what configuration it was. Next one was after I graduated in 2004. An Athlon 2500+ but I didn't try any sort of overclocking. I fried that motherboard while trying to swap some RAM sticks and got a Dell Vostro 200 with a Core2 CPU and 2GB of RAM. I passed that machine to my wife in 2010 when I switched to a laptop and she used it until a few months ago. I plan to make a few videos on that old machine, try to upgrade the CPU to an E8400 and see if it makes any difference.
For the last four years I've used an HP Envy dv6 laptop. i7-3630QM/8GB/GT 635M. Yes, it can run Crysis (all three of them, in a way or another). I hope to move to a Ryzen machine in the next few months.
Ah memories, my first PC was an Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz, 128mb Gefore 6200, 1GB DDR2 RAM and a 80GB HDD.
Turns out i had no idea about PC specs or prices and ended up buying a toaster. The toaster managed to play COD 1, COD UO, Far Cry, Battlefield 2, Halo PC and many others, with BF2 and other games struggling to hit 30fps.
Since then, i've had two major hardware changes and I am planning my next one at the end of this year, check them out:
2nd Build:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 3.00Ghz (CPU bottleneck)
- 4GB DDR2
- GTX 560 Ti 1GB
- 1TBH HDD
3rd Build:
- Intel Core i7 2600K 4.2Ghz
- 8GB DDR3 1600mhz
- 256GB SSD
- 1TB HDD
- GTX 560 Ti (replaced with GTX 970 a year ago)
4th (Planned end of year) build:
- Intel Core i7 7700K
- 16GB DDR4 3200mhz
- 512GB SSD
- 3TB HDD
- EITHER a GTX 1080Ti or the next NVIDIA replacement for it.
Looking forward to it :D
My first actual "gaming pc" was an 8 core FX-8350 paired with a 6gb GTX 1060 and a 2gb Quadro 4000 and 32gb of ddr3. Not a bad little machine.
Good video mate, you could still use that PC as a file server if you're into that sort of stuff.
