GTX 770 / GTX 1050Ti - Core i3 3220 - 8GB DDR3 - Lenovo Budget PC Benchmarks

FIIIRST 😎😎😎

I mostly agree with your conclusions, but you forgot to mention that the GTX 770 is also available in a 4GB variant. Looking at "sold listings" on eBay, I see them selling as low as £70 (working condition), which is still less than half the price of even the cheapest GTX 1050 Ti (according to PCPartPicker). That more than levels the paying field, giving the GTX 770 4GB a clear advantage.

Yes, DDR3 and a slower CPU has an impact on performance, but it's relatively minor for GPU bound tasks like gaming. The price to performance ratio still greatly favours the used market.

I am basically doing this same thing with a Lenovo with an i5 3470

Was that psu ok for a 770 I know that 500w evga one is pretty sturdy but it is a 770?

I've notice that the music link for a while leads to a song by Kevin that isn't in the background. It was for a video but that was a long time ago when I heard that song in one of your videos. I had to search up chill to find the song that's in the background. Anyway I'm enjoying content. Cheers for it as well.

Amd cards do better on used market than nvidia as seem to have aged really well n did tend to come with more vram on faster memory bus but 770 done really well still a good choice at this price point as some else said the 4gb card would have done better for price that a good choice

Pretty close to my Dell PC im currently using but with 6GB of ram... With a 1050 TI thrown in it.

I've had a GTX 770 for around 3 years now, but the problem I've had is that it has been paired with slow CPUs. I actually upgraded from a Phenom X4 9750 CPU to an Athlon X4 860k. Unfortunately, the upgrade still wasn't enough for more modern titles. My main PC is an intel i7 6700 w/GTX980ti/16GB RAM, so I'm in no rush.

i may be being snooty here but i think the g4560 ($60 new on ebay presently) should be the minimum cpu for a budget gaming build and it's the bottom of the barrel if you don't want a ryzen quad core. yes this means ddr4 but 1x 8gb stick can be had under $80 presently. that opens the door for cpu upgrades all the way to a 7700 or k series if you have a Z board and add another 8gb ram when it goes down further. i feel the 1050ti will be around the $160-175 price soon and i'd recommend jumping on it to anyone that needs a entry level gpu. i've used many used parts and still do, but i've learned that if your machine is slowing down the task at hand, a small non upgradeable upgrade just prolongs the inevitable which is buying new hardware. with all that being said, take it with a grain of salt. i just built two 8700k rigs for the house and learned that intel is releasing 8 core 16 thread cpu's on the mainstream platform that require a new motherboard. the merry go round goes round and round and never stops. if you drive it off the lot today, there's something better on the lot tomorrow.

excellent build. i see what you're doing here but i'm bored and figured i'd comment some bs. i like your videos. that i3 scares me though...

Yes swap out the i3

There is actually 4gb variant of the 770. It's a bit rare, but if you can find one I bet it would overtake the 1050 Ti in some of those games like bf1 and wwii.

Upgrade it to an i7 2600 or 3770, 16gb DDR3, and an R9 380 4gb and see what it can do in 1440p.

yeah, an i5-2400 is still a good idea, that hyperthreaded i3 is good for eSports but not much else in the way of new titles. 770 is decent if you wanna do 1080p stuff, and good for a budget minded card.

I can say that my budget rig
(Specs:
Asus AMD R9 270X 2GB
Intel Core i3-3220
8GB RAM)
does very well in terms of gaming and I only paid about 150$ in total.
You can easily buy a used R9 270x for something about 50€ (~58$) here, 50€ for a used Rig which has nothing in it except for a decent PSU and an i3, and 50€ for 8GB RAM and an older SSD.
Playing Witcher 3 with Max Settings except for HairWorks with 40-50FPS. Really worth it and really inexpensive. You only need to know how to change PC parts.
My brother has a slightly better pc and paid 800 bucks for it. (He has an i7 though, which will be my next item to buy).

Can the I3 3220 handle a PC2400 DDR3 memory or would it be bottle necking it ? Thank you for the video

Which body you use for i3-3220 please reply bro

I have an i3-3220 from an AIO I have and I'm looking to use it in a new tower build. What motherboard (s) do you recommend?

bro i need help

Im picking up 2 lenovo m72e pcs tommorrow, one containing an i5 2400 and one with a i3 3220. Im stuggling to find 1050 ti at a decent price even in the secondhand market. Going to be swapping out the i3 with an i5 3570. Im aware that it will run hot though. Id like to keep it in its original cases as im a bit of a thinkcentre/thinkpad junkie and i like the aesthetic.

Plz tell me the motherboard that supports this processor i3 3rd gen with GTX 1050ti or at least gtx960 plz....

will 1050 bottleneck with core i3 3220 ?

I can run pubg mobile emulator in Intel i3processor and ddr 3 motherboard or 10gb ram

For someone who is really tight on budget and just wants to get started the i3 3220 and the 1050ti combo is really goos.
Now youre definitely gonna struggle palying all the recent AAA games but games till 2020 works fine on this setup.
There's vids of this cpu running games like gow, days gone, ac valhalla etc similar to console experience.
