Today we took on the challenge of building a $100 gaming PC in 2021, it's not great but it can do some light gaming.

these style systems make great media players. I have a HP unit of the same size and absolutely love it... maxing out the memory and adding a 2GB video card, the unit plays all movies and will do light gaming. the SFF format works great in a piece of furniture where space is restricted. takes the place of the old VCR units, though these can be a bit taller... by upgrading the memory, video card and the hard drive, you have a great little system. Ebay shows these at about $100.00.... you might be able to find one in a thrift store for less than $50.00! Nice Video! Thanks Guys!

Now this is what I've been waiting for! I've had a few R7 250s and they really don't dissapoint. Matt did mention it at around min 11 but if I had this setup I'd go for 900p or even 720p. That's an amazing build honestly! Great vid bros :)

I've got a 3010 SFF with an i5 3450 and this same GPU. I use it for emulation and it can handle up to Gamecube at 1080p. It runs some PS2, PS3 and Wii at 720. Those games are more CPU intensive so an i7 with more cores will help. If you want to play older games from Steam or GOG, this is a great inexpensive system to start with.

Emulating those systems is usually more CPU intensive than GPU intensive, so even weak GPUs handle them well.

Here in Denmark low profile gpus are hard to find, so instead of SFF, I went with a second hand medium tower pc with 4th gen i5, 16gb ram and an Ssd for 80$, then I picked up a second hand gtx 960 for 40$ (an advantage of regular sized desktop pcs is that they often have a better PSU which you may very well need). Lastly I got a pretty decent monitor for less than 7$ :-)

In fairness it can do more than game, as a $100 general purpose PC it'll do quite well. It'll surf the net OK, it'll play DVDs OK, it'll play vids streamed OK. Old tech is only redundant because we assume we need new tech to still do things that old tech has already done for donkey's years. Having said that, Left for Dead would run fine on this build along with a whole ton of older games along with a ton of indies on this, I think ignore the E-sports rubbish and use this build to explore the quality stuff it can play.
