Nice build! That 7850 is quite a nice little card, and what a great price, too!
I noticed your timing on the webpage load was based on 30 FPS rather than 10ths of a second, so I calculated the following for your times: 9.2 sec, 8.06 sec, and 7.9 sec for an average of 8.39 seconds or 51.61 points. Does that sound right?
If so, with the 12.61 points for coming in under $100, I calculate your final score at 779.62 points for this build. Which is very well done! It's really incredible what these cheap, low-end PCs are capable of, isn't it?

Absolutely love this bro! Really like the different styles of shots, talking head, b roll and bench marks. Great diversity!

The GPU was a great bargain.. Have not spotted one here for less than 30EUR.

There was a lot of failed bids before I got that one!

Nice to see an enthusiastic effort - this is the first build I've seen for the challenge. That graphics card was an absolute steal, especially considering the prices R7 cards still go for (they're just rebadged 7000-series cards).

I was really happy to get it that cheap! Although something I didnt mention on the video was I did get a GTX 770 originally for £25! Unfortunately it was broken in shipping :( Would have made this PC a serious little machine.

Nice video, nice build!

Thanks mate!

I guess you can build an older system. But a Gamer build. Yeah good luck. Cardboard Box for PC case free LOL.

But can it run Theme Hospital?

[@ljrretropcs]

Perhaps

[@kingcazoo9233]

Will it run RuneScape?

[@ljrretropcs]

This one will
