My 32$ Gaming PC

Wanted to share my recent build with the LTTForum after also sharing on reddit! 

I've always loved watching Scrapyard Wars and the $69 gaming pc series from LTT, so I thought I’d try to give it a go myself and see what I could come up with. I am beyond proud of the finished product.

The parts purchased are as followed:

Base: Savers(Value Village) Dell T7810 Workstation - $6.99 GPU: FB Marketplace 980ti - $15 Storage: EBay SSD - $10

The System came with a Xeon e5-2603 v3, 16gb of ddr4 (4x4gb), a geforce 8400 gs, and a 685 watt Dell psu. No storage was included which makes sense if it was dumped by an office or school. I bought a Kingston 120gb ssd on eBay for 10$, and then a 980ti that was “maybe broken” for $15 on facebook (negotiated down from $30). The computer didn’t include any Pcie power coming from its breakout board on the power supply, but funnily enough a 8 pin to dual 6+2 cable from an old EVGA modular psu my friend had was pin compatible and required no modification, plug and play. After plugging everything in I was able to fire it up, install windows and drivers, and play some games! GPU worked flawlessly and was running cool and quiet. Definitely lucked out with that find.

I am able to play more or less every game I want to on this, and for less than the cost of my recent door dashed chipotle lol.
