Welcome, everyone, to the honest review. Today, we're going to be reviewing a six hundred dollar budget gaming PC to see just how much performance we can get stepping into a pre-built PC that doesn't break the bank. This PC is built by Light Technologies, a company that specializes in utilizing a mix of last June and current gen parts. This is done to save you money on your build, but still deliver the performance you need for a smooth gaming experience.

Bro, they even sent me shades. Who does this now? This PC was sent out to us by light technologies, but that has no impact on the review. They wanted my opinion on their best selling build as far as price to performance. And I was curious myself as to just how good these budget builds are for the price point, because there is this constant assumption that you have to spend tons of money on the best parts to have a decent gaming rig.

The hyper PC is the build we're going to be reviewing today. It comes in at six hundred bucks. Like any other or company. You get some promised components in the build. Now, light technologies is unique in the fact that if they don't have the promised components in your order, then they're going to upgrade you to something of equal or greater quality at no extra cost. So here's the parts rundown of everything I received in my hyper PC. Of course, we got our CPU and Intel I thirty seventy four course with four threads, runs at three point two gigahertz stock and can boost up to three point six.

The CPU is air cooled with the stock solution. This was and still is a heavily used, tried and true processor. Fast and reliable. Our GPU is Isatabu ten sixty three gigabyte mini, a very popular budget graphics card, single fan for cooling and it does well. Surprisingly, I managed to do some basic overclocking on this card to boost my clock speeds and I have yet to experience any crashes. Our temps are maxing out around the 80 degrees Celsius ballpark.

This is somewhat hot, but definitely better than some of the blower model cards that I've seen in pre-built these days. Our outputs on the back are three display reports, one HDMI and one DVI. Now, the case that we were promised was a RGB dark water, and since they were running low on stock, they went ahead and sent this out in a DIY PC crystal.

This thing comes with four addressable RGV fans surprisingly quiet. And I really like the built in RGV features that it has. But if RGV isn't your thing, you can always turn it off. This has a magnetic dust cover on the top of the case and then the bottom of the case has a slide in cover. And on a serious note, this case is better than the case that came with my six hundred dollar pre-built from cyberpower. You have room in the top four extra case fans in case you plan on upgrading to a water cooled CPU cooler.

You have mounting locations for the SSD clean top input with two USB, three point ones, one USB 2.0 and our standard mike in and audio out.

We have a lightly tinted tempered glass panel, lots of cable management options in the back.

And overall, this is a solid midsize case now for our Ramli of eight gigabytes of ballistics, DDR three running at six hundred megahertz. And this is made by crucial brand name good speeds for previous gen. Our motherboard is an each sixty one m p 31 G three. This is an matics board. Amisi has definitely been in the PC game for a long time and they are known for their trusted quality. And for our USB on the back we have six two point O's and this is also gigabit Internet compatible.

The SSD is a light on it. One hundred and twenty eight gigabyte gets the job done. Good speeds when booting up the PC or launching games. The provided hard disk drive is a 500 gigabyte Western digital blu. I love Western Digital, but I wouldn't run your games of programs from your drive. I would let your Solid-State Drive handle that. This does, however, serve as a good storage drive for movies, music or other media and documents.

Now, the power supply we were promised was a 450 watt, but since they were out of stock on those, we defaulted to a free upgrade. That is the Roseville five 750 watt bronze. It's fully modular. And Rosewell has been in the PC game for a long time. These guys are highly regarded for their warranties and standing behind their products. All right. So how does the hyper PC perform? I tested this PC on for night Apex Legends Battalion, 1944, Cisco and Pobjie.

Some of these games are pretty taxing on your GPU and on all of these games. I was able to run them smoothly. No hiccups, no crashes.

Now, the frame rates achieved were dependent on the graphics quality I was running the game at naturally. But just know that first shooter games, it is highly recommended that you lower the quality somewhat to achieve a higher FPS. I actually do this to this day on my water cooled Artex twenty seventeen to get the best performance for FDs game.

So when running these games on ultra or high settings, I could only get between 45 to eight. Yes, but when I lowered the quality settings down to the medium and low area, I was shocked. I achieved eighty to one hundred and thirty fps on Apex Legends, ninety to one hundred and forty on forty nine, seventy five to one hundred and thirty on Pobjie and on simpler games like Battalion 1944 AnCo.

I could easily get over one hundred and fifty frames per.

And don't think lowering the quality off of high and ultra makes your game look bad, because what you're seeing now is exactly how my game looked, I gamed for hours seeing how this build would hold up.

And it definitely proved a point. You don't have to blow the bank on the best parts to run triple-A titles. Also that you can Migden and Currans and parts to create a solid PC. So what are the cons to this bill? First off, and most importantly is the upgradeability Light Technologies does have pre builds that use all current gen parts. But this bill specifically is utilizing a previous gen CPU mobo and RAM, meaning that if you want to upgrade any of those parts to current gen, you're going to have to upgrade all three.

Also, the SSD is only 128 gigabytes. So realistically, if you're planning on having multiple games, you're going to want to buy a larger SSD. I could only fit two to three games on the SSD at a time because games are getting much bigger in size these days. The GPU fan is a little bit loud, especially when under full load. But honestly, I never noticed it when gaming because I'm headset on focus on the win. Only other con is that the USB 3.0 ports on the top of the case are actually only USB 2.0, since the motherboard doesn't support USB 3.0 or above.

And that's it. Seriously, the pros to this build are pretty straightforward. You have room to grow in your case. You can add fans, upgrade your memory or add an all in one CPU cooler for overclocking headroom on the five. We're not only getting a consistent gaming rig, but a fast and reliable PC for everyday use. Above all, we're not breaking the bank to do it. Also, this is flat out a console killer when it comes to performance.

The PlayStation five and Xbox Scarlet are estimated to be between 450 and 550 dollars.

This is because they have to upgrade to even run the new games that are being released.

So if costs are staying that high for the new consoles and budget builds like this can kill them in performance, it may be time to consider making the switch to PC gaming. I would definitely recommend this PC to someone who is just starting out or someone who needs to make every penny count because I added up all the components new at retail price. And if I was to want to build this myself, the price was over six hundred and seventy dollars. Oh yeah.

And with Windows ten activation really coming in to six hundred and ninety dollars. So how in the hell are they selling this for six hundred bucks. The answer is simple. Like technologies buys in bulk to save themselves and you money and they also utilize some refurbished parts.

But I wouldn't worry about that because we're talking about certified refurbished parts with fact warranties. Also like PCs have a full 30 day warranty as well as a one year warranty on labor. And most of the parts manufacturers have warranties in the build that extend from one to three years. And on a very important note, light technologies, stress tests, every single build that they make before they ship it out to you. And believe it or not, there are companies to this day that don't actually test the PC they built before they ship it out.

So late. PCs have eight different builds that range from four hundred to nine hundred dollars. And if I had to pick my favorites for value to performance, although the hyper PC is an excellent bang for your buck and killer starter PC, the Light Emperor and Ultimate Builds are definitely my top picks. These builds are running off of all current generation parts, so future upgrades are easy to find.

To me, that is well worth the slight price increase for those builds. If I had to make one recommendation to light technologies, it would be to include larger, solid state drives. Even if you have to remove the hard disk drives entirely due to cost, it's just really affordable for people to buy internal and external hard drives should they need them. And I think the larger solid state drive would greatly benefit your customers and improve the value of your initial builds.

But besides that great job, light technologies for 600 bucks, this is definitely a great starter rig. On a serious note, building a PC on a budget isn't easy, especially with how graphic intensive new games are. You've made this no hassle ready to play and warranty back. Not going to lie, though. I am really curious as to how much performance you get out of that light. Master PC coming in at the nine hundred dollar ballpark.

And I guess today we have proved a point that you don't have to sell your bank account to have a nice gaming PC. I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I enjoyed testing it out.
