Posted April 16, 2017 I built my first PC a while ago out of old hardware that I was given. It has an Intel Core i3 2100 cpu which I found is actually quite old, but it still runs everything that I need really easily. Basically I just do homework, watch LTT, write things like this and edit and view photos, but nothing I do (running Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro) seems to push the CPU over 20% utilisation. It is built in a Fractal Design Core 1000 case with an AsRock H61M/U353 motherboard and two 4gb 1067mhz DDR3 RAM DIMMS. There is a 2.5 inch 320gb WD Blue SATA hard drive for storage which came from my old laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
