First of all, is that WoW I see on the monitor?  And if it is....why not use a Custom ui?  

 

But I love the ingenuity of it.

It is a stock PC from 2010-ish https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03177731

With some touch ups. (Added additional RAM and a GPU)

 

CPU: G630 Pentium Processor (2 cores, 2.7GHz Speed)

Memory: 12GB DDR3 1666MHz RAM (4GB + 8GB Corsair)

Storage: 1Tb Seagate 7200RPM Harddrive

GPU: GT610 2GB

 

32" OLED Samsung TV 1366x768 60Hz

 

(An old monitor I had that was about 18" was more garbage than this tv, it only used VGA setup, this TV uses HDMI.

Yes there is a slight difference with Pixel render speed, but I could care less. I'm garbage at PC games anyways ;p)

 

I think back in 2010 this computer only costed about $500 at bestbuy, and the GPU + RAM was $100 late 2016, overall not a bad setup, but nothing near good either.

 

I average about 30-40 frames in most games, the only exceptions would be GTAV, Space Engineers.

 

GTAV I get about 14fps online, and 30fps online private lobby

Space Engineers, I got about 2fps and is completely unplayable

 

I have started my first Custom PC which is;
