£400/$500 PC Build Intel i7 2600 & Radeon R9 290
What can we build for £400/$500 on the used PC market?
A friend of mine asked me to do a gaming PC that costs £400/$500 that could play current games at Ultra settings at 60FPS 1080p.
So did I manage to build a gaming PC that could hit 60FPS 1080p at Ultra settings? Let's find out.
So we're going to test this Intel i7 2600 and Radeon R9 290 system
on the following games to see how we got on.
Battlefield 1 @ 2:53
Dishonored 2 @ 3:23
Prey 2017 @ 3:51
Warframe @ 4.20
Mass Effect Andromeda @ 4:54

R9 290 still punches hard! Audio quality is top notch too 👍

Bro very high quality video! In Serbia its even more expensive to get "older machine build". That sucks.. Anyways very nice frames,good deal and fancy case and lightning :). BEAST!

Complete nonsequiter, but I totally just scored a 970 for $115USD SHIPPED. Can't believe my luck, so stoked :P! Great video as always :).

That's a great buy dude and the GTX 970 is also a very capable GPU that you can overclock up to 20% better performance. Thanks for your kind words.

400 GBP seems a bit expensive and honestly I wouldn't recommend committing on 8gb ram with no upgrade possibility (2-slot board), since the trend seems to go towards more (proper) RAM usage with Games. Then again, it represents a "rebuildable" System, rather than insanely good deals or rare hardware that no viewer could copy easily. PS: I like that you mentioned Warframe, I recently started playing it and one has to wonder why Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft and the other "big names" that spend millions on customer-behavior research never even came close to making a F2P Game right.

I agree that you probably can get better deals out there, but the used PC market has been pretty tough to score exceptional deals on recently. I do think this is a repeatable build for people in the secondhand market, so think it's relevant and definitely better than a "Gaming PC" you could buy from PC World for the same money. Warframe is actually really fun to play and with the latest expansion looks great, still can't believe that game is free.

MadIIMike I’m late but is there no possible way to upgrade ram?

Imo, gpus shouldn't be tested at maxed out settings. The visual difference between high and ultra is very little majority of the time, whilst sacrificing a LOT OF performance (Joker productions has a special video on this) Good video btw. Maybe try testing a few more games in another video? Not at ultra settings..

I agree that you do sacrifice performance when jumping to ultra/very high settings (I'll have to watch that video with Joker I have seen some of his video's previously) but the brief for this system was to see if ultra settings where possible and for most the part I think this system performed well. I will be doing a follow up video with some other games as I have already been asked for Doom and ARK on this system so watch this space. Thank you for watching and your constructive feedback.

Yeah considering the price: performance, you did really well 👌 Looking forward to more game benchmarks

Shehroz Khan people want to see maximum of components, and min/average/max frames in new games on ultra. U can always tweaked later on if you got similar configuration.

Pls ..test it on ARK Survival Evolved!:)

@twistedskinztech3255 6 жыл бұрын

I have a follow up video coming a bit later and I might just include ARK (I always seem to get asked for this title for some reason so maybe it should be a staple in my tests lol)
