Super-Cheap PC Build

[Idkwhat2putheresowhatever]

This is not a budget build but more of a old gaming tin can build

 

Here's my specs

Motherboard: Asrock LGA775-Twins HDTV R2.0

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

Cooler: Sketchy looking Cooler Master LGA775 

Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD4890 1GB

Power Supply: Antec Truepower 650w

RAM: 2x Kingston 1GB DDR 400MHz

Hard Drive: Seagate 7200rpm 500GB

Case: TBD

 

Whaddya guys think? The CPU may be a little bit of a bottleneck but how bad is it? Is it possible to have a decent gaming experience out of this?

How much does that PC cost you?

Around $62 SGD or $44 USD

The CPU, Motherboard and Graphics card came in a bundle

I mean it'll run not-so-demanding games fine at 1080p low settings (it comes close to my GTX 765M) but don't expect amazing performance.

Game Debate says that this setup could run GTA V, Full HD, High, 11fps, but I doubt it

I mean, is the bottleneck very severe? The cpu seems to be bottlenecking the graphics card

There is a bottleneck, and it's kinda severe.

I found an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 with an unknown motherboard as a bundle. How does that fare?

Board's very old.  Can't even support Core 2 Quads: http://www.asrock.com/MB/ATI/775Twins-HDTV R2.0/index.asp#CPU

 

Looks like your current C2D processor right now is the best processor you can get for this rig unless you can find an Core 2 Extreme X6800, which still does not do much in terms of performance.

 

I would have suggested the 771 Xeon upgrade but your board's chipset is not supported in this upgrade scenario: https://www.delidded.com/lga-771-to-775-adapter/2/

 

Also that RAM is quite old and small. Might want to switch to DDR2 at least.

 

The video card could use an upgrade to probably something that does not requires a PCIE connector and with it's lack of newer drivers it might be a good idea.

 

Overall, esports titles are all you can play on this setup and probably at very low settings.
