Now, remember when my mum bought a pre built Del PC and well, it turned out she made a pretty good purchase, albeit without any real PC knowledge.

Well, today I want to take a look at this.

This is a computer built by my friend Michael.

Now Michael is new to the world of PC building.

In fact, he's new to the world of Peces altogether, or WAAS having come from the land of the consul, namely a PlayStation.

For that sounds like London City Airport during rush hour.

Since then, the traitor I mean, my good friend has decided to get in the Xbox one X instead.

So I said, I format and sell his recently assembled PC for him, but not before critiquing it, of course, and seeing how it performs.

So let's get into it now.

Originally he asked me to build something for him with a strictly no rgb ruling place.

Eventually he changed his mind and built a system himself just so he could learn how to do it.

And I think the patients has certainly paid off aesthetics wise.

I see.

He also stuck to the no RGB rule.

This is the no RGB please PC review To get a full idea of the specs as well as the total cost.

I asked for a few invoices and safe to say it just under £400.

This seems like a decent build for the money to start with.

We haven't.

Aargh.

Call 380 x case.

This apparently comes in at £30 if you want.

In the clear side panel, though it CCL you confined it for just under £17.

If you don't mind a standard black door, what I like about it is the separated space for the power supply at the bottom, not something you see too often with these cheaper cases, it makes the bill would seem a lot neater, especially if you're not that brilliant with cable management.

Speaking of which, and the power supply was actually a pretty bad choice.

Before I sell it, I've replaced the cheap 600.

What unit?

With my older but reliable course there.

650.

What PS you the original choice?

Waas Well, questionable.

And if there's one thing you should never cheap, how on it's the power supply especially when you're spending a few £100 dollars or euros on a system.

There's a great list over on the Linus Tech tips website detail ing different quality units or separated into tears.

And this has helped me make some pretty informed decisions in the past.

One.

Building computers.

The motherboard was an interesting choice, too.

See, I've made comments before regarding a M for mother, but would saying that you should opt for B 3 50 or be 4 50 boards for risin because they have overcooking potential.

But here's the thing.

If you're certain you never want to over clock your eyes and process er and are happy with a no frills bold that might save you some extra cash, then go for it if it has all the features you're looking for, if it's the matter of a tenner difference than a B 3 50 or be 4 50 bored would be a no brainer in some respects.

But I can see some money was definitely saved here, considering it was purchased for just £33 opened over Amazon warehouse deals.

Atop this board is a rising 5 1400 That's a name I haven't heard in a while.

When it first released the rise in 5 1400 sat at an awkward position on the market.

Some people said, Leave it, saved the money and get a rise and three instead, or spend a little more and get a rise in 5 1600 It's that awkward position on the market that works in this thing's favor today.

See, it could be found for similar money to arise and three on the used market while offering eight threads and better overall performance.

This open box one costs just £88 over cookers UK.

I think if you can find one for that sort of money, then it's still worth it and should be more than capable.

When it comes to modern gaming, the GPU actually seems like the best deal here.

£148 for a six gig 10 60 from Pallet in what looks to be unused condition.

This was an eBay find, but it's not too uncommon to find 10 sixties at great prices these days, especially the three gig version.

Whether you should still buy one of those is a story for a whole nother video though Palate are actually among my favorite manufacturers, having owned their 7 50 t I and 10 50 never having any issues.

The 10 sixties A card isn't too power hungry, so it requires a 400.

What PS you and just 16 pin connector.

Still, I wouldn't have run it too long on the P S U.

That was originally inside this build to finalize the specs.

We've got eight gigs of Tina Marie and excellent choice.

And around the I always go for 2 £60 for brand new 3000 megahertz.

DDR four is a pretty good price considering the same 2400 megahertz variant cost pretty much the same.

The 240 gig P N Y S S d is a nice final touch, too, though we'll get filled up pretty quickly.

I notice that after reinstalling windows as well as in video drivers in any operating system updates, we had about 202 weeks left to play with.

This, of course, could be filled after installing just a few of the latest Triple eight games.

Still, installing the operating system on an SSD is the perfect way to ensure fast boot times, and you can always add a traditional one.

Terror by H.

D D.

Later on for extra storage at £399 total, it seems like a decent mid range set up aside from the £24 el cheapo power supply that's now been removed.

Personally, I probably would have spent a little more on a B 3 50 Bold as well.

But this one's perfectly okay for running the rise and five of stock speeds.

I guess now we must see how this combination of parts performs with a few popular and modern titles.

To kick things off, I ran the sinner bench AR 15 multi and single court tests to see whereabouts the rise and 5 1406 in terms of performance.

Interestingly, the multicourse score puts it between an eye 7 37 70 and 47.

70 k from Intel.

So I'd say you're looking at close to stock 47 70 performance here.

If you wanted something to compare it to the single court test score was 131 around, about the same that most rise and processes seemed to achieve.

It's worth remembering that if you want to buy new the difference in some countries.

Between this and, say, a first Gen 1600 price wise can be pretty slim.

But this should still hold its own just fine.

First up for the games we have Assassin's Creed, Odyssey, a game that, in my experience, doesn't like court core processes all that much, even ones with eight threads.

I found that the six cause of Arise 15 1600 handle this a lot better, but the game has never run very well.

To be honest, CPU wise, the in game benchmark test that high settings returned 52 frames per second on average, and from the M es I afterburner stats in the top left corner, you can see that these components are pretty well matched.

Medium would likely guarantee a closer to 60 FBs experience, but honestly, Odyssey is all over the place.

When it comes to performance.

I've seen cards that should be weaker than a 10 60 hit.

Higher frame rates and cards that should be more powerful perform worse.

Battlefield five performed very well, with an average of 74 frames per second and a mix of high an ultra settings with 10 80 p resolution.

Of course, the ultra preset itself made a see a few more dips below 60.

But a mixture of the two highest settings seemed to provide the sweet spot for this great looking modern release.

I played through the first few scenarios.

Then this mission set in France as well as an hour or two of multi player, combining the average over my playtime.

As we began this single player level.

There was a few instances of stutter, but this just disappeared after a few seconds.

Perhaps the game was just loading a few final assets or something.

I really don't know.

Now it's a slightly old one, but at some point or another, it's likely you'll want to play something that hasn't been released in the last few years.

So I'm excited to see how BioShock infinite would perform today on this mid range.

Billed as you'd expect, we had no problems here, with an average of 150 F.

P s ultra, with 1% and 10.1% lows of 1 to 1 and 95 respectively, a smooth experience throughout.

If you build a PC like this to tackle your older games collection.

Well, you'd have no trouble whatsoever.

Far cry five.

A 10 80 piece or return of just over 60 F.

P.

S on average.

Using a mixture once again of high and very high settings, I was trying to get the best graphical quality out of the games here while retaining solid frame rates.

The 1% low off 51.1% lower 43 refracts the fact that there was no significant stuttering to be seen here not only during the endgame benchmark test, but over the course of a couple of hours.

Gained players.

Well, it's a great game, but the map doesn't very too much.

So performance tribute.

Similar, no matter where you are in this vast open world fortnight at epic settings running 86 frames per second.

Very smoothly, might I add, Although there wasn't much going on during my recorded game play here, I can safely say there'll be no trouble achieving at least 60 F ps with any setting.

There will be a few dips in busy areas and, of course, when the action heats up.

But all in all, it's a very pleasant experience with this hardware, Michael Mate, your 600 watt off brand power supply probably would have blown up by now.

Just cause four puts a lot more strain on the graphics card, as you can see usage for that, it's hovering around the mid nineties whereby the rise and 5 1400 has a lot more to give.

Regardless, a brief hour of messing around in the snow at very high settings with S M A off returned a healthy 66 frames per second on average.

Again, no rules started here.

But the map is huge, so performance will fluctuate.

But you should still see at least 60 frames per second most of the time.

If there are any issues with a build like this, then high instead of very high would be the way to go over.

What trick the ultra settings preset proved to be.

No problem either.

The footage here watts from about match, but the figures were taken from online.

This is just a easier way for me to capture more fluent gameplay.

There will be no problems here.

It all for the rise and 5 1406 gig 10 60 performance numbers will be a little different from map to map, though.

As expected, finally around the shadow of the Tomb Raider in Game benchmark, which with the high preset gave us an average off spot on 60 with a 52 f ps 1% low and 10.1% low of 46 again, a pretty respectable result for our final game test here.

All in all, this build seems fairly capable, especially considering the total price paid.

Thanks to a little help from the open box market.

You don't have to shop around from third party sellers to get great deals, as retailers will sometimes have sales that can not quite a decent amount off off certain hardware.

My only concerns with this originally was the cheap power supply, which might have been fine.

Who knows on the A 3 20 Bold.

But as I said, I don't feel like you have to get a B three or be 4 50 bold just because the Internet tells you to.

If you're happy with the features of an A 3 20 offering and have no intentions over clock whatsoever on our on a tighter budget with no real room for maneuver then go for it.

The rise and 5 1400 still handles itself pretty well, too, and sometimes can be found closer to the price of a rise in three, which makes it more tempting in some scenarios even today.

Plus, it's unpopularity means it's more likely to see further reductions in the future.

But there we have it.

This has been that the no RGB please build review, I think for first time, Bill, my friend has done a pretty decent job.

So I hope you've enjoyed this video.

I certainly enjoyed making it.
