Now, if you have Facebook, then you've more than likely come across the Facebook marketplace the integrated buying and selling site that a lot of people post their unwanted sometimes junk on.

Now, I've had mixed experiences with this.

I've bought a few PC parts from there in the past, some of which have turned out to be the real deal on dhe.

Some I've got for a pretty decent price, but other times I've bean ripped off all that side.

And when I saw this PC on there, I decided I just I had to have it, considering it looks quite decent spec wise.

Now, this was listed as coming with an eye five genetics 7 70 as well as a one terabyte hard drive, all for the grand sum off £120.

Roughly 150 U.

S.

Dollars now expected to have to killing it up a little bit, as you normally do with used peces or components.

But I was more than happy to pay this asking price.

However, things took a pretty dramatic and hectic turn.

It seems that everybody was after this PC on the cellar kept messaging me saying, Oh, I've got someone else offering me this.

Someone else's offered me this.

Can you come and pick out first?

Because if you can, you can have it literally.

There was a long waiting list for this system because as soon as someone spots a bargain on there, everyone jumps on it.

And I thought, Right, I've got to get this thing.

So I jumped in my car, drove a couple of towns over which in the U.

K.

Means about 30 minutes.

So nothing significant on dhe.

I picked it up.

I ended up paying £150 because someone said they would match the asking price.

And I thought, You know what?

I'll slip him an extra 10.

I went on there.

Now, as far as the base expects were concerned, I knew that there was another five processor in here.

Eight gigs of Ram and a Jew text 7 70 from the pictures.

What?

I didn't know, though.

Waas.

What?

The exact specs were what the other items like the motherboard, the P S U on the hard drive make waas, for example.

So when we got home.

It was time to slide, open the case and see exactly what was inside.

But first, as you can imagine, this system needed a little bit off a clean up, so the first thing to do was to determine the specifications of this machine.

The case is a good place to start, as it seems to be a bit Fenix prodigy and I text enclosure used in this case by PC Specialist.

This one's seen better days.

It's got a few blemishes here and there, and one of the handles has snapped off of the screw, so it's a little loose.

It's also very dusty, but to be honest, most secondhand peces I buy are on a bit of Don't never put me off.

I wanted to take a little peek inside first, so I attempted to take the top mesh part off here.

As you can see on it took me a lot longer than it should have.

I do like the design and shape of this system and the way that everything sits inside here, but it will only accommodate I t X motherboards from what I understand, and it seems a little fiddly toe work on But to be honest, if you're not always swapping out your PC specs like me, then this won't be a massive issue.

Opening up the case one handed also proved to be quite the challenge.

But I was excited to get an idea of the full specifications, as well as the overall condition of this machine, both inside and out.

The first thing you'll notice is the palate Duty X 7 70 It seems the spider had at one point decided to make this one.

It's home, and I don't blame it, because the triple found design of this card provides the perfect call airflow during the warm summer months, I was also surprised to see an SSD hiding around the back here because I had read there was one terabyte of storage, but not a separate, dedicated arrest, dr, which was a nice bonus.

It's a Kingston one, too, which is pretty cool.

I turned it on to test it in.

During this time, I discovered that the full specifications are as follows.

An intel core I 5 46 70 k eight gigs of 1600 megahertz, hyper ex DDR three, a one terabyte Satur hard drive with the aforementioned 120 gig s s D a DVD drive the bit Fenix I t X case And, of course, the palate 7 70 which is the two gig version.

Oh, on a course lvs 6 50 which is a questionable unit and finds itself in the second to last year of my go to P s you quality list over at Linus Tech Tips, an IOC 19 inch monitor was also included in the price.

As you can see, I disassembled the whole system to clean it up on.

This gave me a better chance to see how the case looked inside.

It's a very aesthetically pleasing chassis, and you ever get the feeling you're being watched anyway, The fans of the 7 70 should give you an idea of the dust that had built out over the years, not just here, but across all the components.

After spending about three hours outside, this PC was looking pretty tidy.

I've also removed the dust filters that sat behind the front and the top mesh because they were too far gone to clean.

And this is okay to do.

If you don't mind dusting your system a little more often.

I certainly don't.

In fact, I find it pretty fun.

Is that just may?

I'm really happy with the over welcome here.

But the next step is to see how well these specs work together when it comes to running new games.

First things first, though, and it was time to test the processes performance.

I've had numerous forums regarding the 46 70 Kay's abilities even today, with some people discouraging others from upgrading just yet, as this thing is apparently still quite capable.

In the multi corps test, it found itself sitting between the older I 5 34 50 on an eye 7 37 70 about 100 points either way.

Actually, I'm sure there's closer competitors out there, but these are the only examples I have access to.

To compare it with.

You can see a modern forecourt, a thread CPU, like the rise in 5 1400 pulls ahead.

The single thread would result is more interesting, though, because this is where performance exceeds the modern horizon.

It's not a massive difference, but it does mean the 46 70 k should still be a decent gamer, and that's not taking into consideration the fact that this can also be over clocked thanks to the K in the title.

As we move on to games, you'll see it's the graphics card in this build that lets it down.

The 7 70 was once a fantastic choice, like many cards, in fact, but it just doesn't seem to have aged well.

It's essentially a refresh of a 6 80 with faster memory, but like the more powerful 7 80 it falls short in some modern instances.

Maybe it's because in video don't care about Kepler enough anymore to optimize drivers for it.

Or maybe it's the architecture itself.

Furthermore, it might be the two gigs of Vero.

Whatever is 7 70 isn't a GPU I'd recommend anymore.

Okay, it depends on the price and the circumstances.

But let's say that in a large, open sea of used graphics cards, there are better choices swimming around out there at a similar price point that will offer more performance.

Nonetheless, let's talk about that performance in Apex legends.

The card was running at 99% usage as we played a 10 80 p.

With a mixture of settings, you'll see more than 60 frames per second if you drop the render resolution.

But this will, of course, make things look a bit blurry.

The full native 10 80 p experience will mean a return of 45 F.

P.

S on average.

This average was determined over the course of one game.

One thing I was pleased to see was that there were no significant status all framed drops during this game play.

So it's not a bad experience as long as you don't decide to turnings upto high in Battlefield five, I played the opening introductory mission hit a few times over to see a similar average tow apex at Medium.

The graphics card run about 99% usage most of the time, but there were some cases where the process sir would touch 100.

It's not surprising, considering that this has just for threats.

Now that's not bad.

I'm not saying oh, just four threads.

But in a game like this, that seems to be very cbu dependent.

It will mean you'll be bottlenecked in some situations.

If you were to pair the 46 70 k with a more powerful graphics card, it's still a pretty good looking game, but it's not gonna get any prettier with this combination of parts without us having to make some pretty big performance sacrifices.

Remember, each level will differ with regards to F.

P s Far Cry five a 10 80 p normal, so return of 40 frames per second.

You can see here that the CPU and GPU often running at 199% respectively.

But you be.

Subtitles tend to do this to processes, and I remember when I first tried running Assassin's Creed or to see on my eye 5 44 60 a while back, only to find that I was getting some pretty bad stuttering.

Just like that CPU.

This has four cause and threads.

And just like Assassin's creed, Far Cry five is an ubi soft title.

I reiterate that because you'll tend to see higher CPU usage, or at least I do.

I found six core rise and processes tend to be the sweet spot for a nice 60 FBS experience.

Fortnight, however, were unjust.

Fine.

High settings were easily doable, but I was using medium here.

Apparently, I was having Internet travels according to the game, so it crushed back to the lobby after about a minute.

This happened every time I tested it with these parts, which was weird, especially considering it didn't happen with my main PC.

But in the very short time I played it, I can tell you that you will get at least 60 frames per second with medium settings or even high.

My game play was cut short, so I didn't want to put any figures up on screen regarding averages etcetera, because they might not have been entirely accurate.

Any I 5 46 70 k or 7 70 owners and Fortnight fans out there need not worry, though, if you want to play this one because you'll have a great time.

This system loves average frame rates around 40.

I'll tell you that much because in just calls for the average frame rate came back his 41.

This game tends to be more reliant on a decent graphics card, and you'll see by the figures in the top left corner that are.

I five wasn't really being pushed all that much, whereas the 7 70 was working very hard to produce playable figures.

This takes place on a massive map, so you'll see variations here and there.

But honestly, it was quite a smooth experience.

And this is the title that will really enjoy the company of an eye five to play on.

But what it will like more is a powerful mid range graphics card, like a 10 60 or Rx 5 80 met.

Your exodus ran to, which was a surprise, considering how good it looks.

But just like I said in my last video, the developers have seemingly tried to be very inclusive about PC specs with their minimum requirements stating and I 5 44 40 Onda GTX 6 70 When we remember that the 7 70 is essentially a 6 80 refresh, it makes me wonder just how well those minimums specs would do here, though, the average was okay.

But during this opening level, the frame time was all over the place, an unsteady frame time Willie to stutters, and in this case, there were quite a few.

What's interesting is that after a while, the car seemed to just give up and started running the game at 16 frames per second.

For awhile toward the end of my test, I'm sure this would have picked up again, but the game it's sort of all over the place.

After going back and capping it to 30 during this level, it seemed to fix things a bit, so that may be worth trying if your game is jumping all over the place like mine.

Finally, I decided 30 FBS was a more realistic target for shadow of the Tomb Raider, and this was certainly achievable with the medium sittings a 10 80 p.

The I five will jump to 100% usage in some cases, but it won't stay there long, and it's the graphics card that struggles Maur.

As is the case most of the time, I think that if you cap the frame rate, it will be a smoother overall experience to conclude.

I think this PC was priced pretty well, not taking just the CPU and GPU into consideration.

But the other components like the case as well, which can still retail of upwards of £70.

Here in the UK the I five, I think, really needs a chance to shine on its own.

Preparing this with a more powerful card would still give you pretty decent results.

If you're shopping around on the used market and want something reasonably priced and over clickable.

Speaking of what track didn't do that here because the GPU would've still limited performance.

But I'll be testing the true power of this process in a later video.

For now, though, well, I hope you've enjoyed seeing my Facebook find PC in action.

If you did leave a like on this video, if you didn't leave a dislike on it, subscribe to the channel.

If you haven't done so already, let me know if you run with either of these components in your PC.

Ondas always.

I hope to see you all in the next one.
