Hello everyone ad welcome back to another Budget Builds Episode where today we're taking a look at not just a piece of history, but honestly quite a powerful custom built PC, from the same PC Builders that built the Yogscast range of Gaming PCs. Originally costing just north of $1200 when it was built you got some genuinely powerful components, the thing is just how far can an old GTX Flagship and a Haswell Processor actually take you in 2026? And is it worth you trying to get one? Lets find out!
Intro: 0:00
What did I buy? - 0:17
Lets get it open? - 1:45
Does it work? & Quick look at the Specs - 3:06

It works ... Installing Windows 11 - 10:29
Installing everything - 12:00
Can we fix the fans? - 12:32
Overclocking the CPU & GPU - 14:13
Full Specs of the PC - 15:14
3D Mark, Pre and Post OC, and Comparison to other CPUs and GPUs - 17:27
General Usage is fine...Its time to Benchmark - 20:32
The Benchmarks! - 21:41
Overall Performance, Limitations, Crashes - 37:05
Thermals and Power Consumption - 39:30
NVENC, thoughts on Nvidia Drivers, etc.. - 42:20
