Introduction

In this unofficial video, I decided to engage in a charitable act by helping a young man who approached me to purchase an audio track. Instead of making a profit, I decided to upgrade his computer to give him a better gaming experience. In this article, I will walk you through the whole process and share all the details of the build.

The Misfortune of a Single Boy

The story begins with a single boy who approached me with a request to buy an audio track for a 512-megabyte DDR1 RAM. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, as it seemed unnecessary for him to spend money on such outdated hardware. I made up my mind to build him a slightly better computer and give it to him so that he could enjoy a more enhanced gaming experience. Little did I know that this project would lead me to encounter various challenges.

The Decision to Help

Considering the boy's situation and his desire to play games on Steam, I realized that his current computer was insufficient. It had a 478 socket and a single-core processor, which would not meet the requirements for running games. Furthermore, the power supply unit was not suitable. To provide a better gaming experience, I decided to upgrade his computer with a G41 chipset.

Upgrading the Computer

I managed to source the necessary components, including a motherboard, graphics card, and processor. I also decided to add a 250-gigabyte hard disk and install the Windows operating system on it. The computer was assembled and ready for testing. However, during the building process, I encountered a problem with the power supply unit, as the fan was not spinning. I had to disassemble the unit, clean and replace the capacitors, and ensure that everything was functioning properly.

The Troublesome Build

Building the computer was not an easy task, especially with the faulty power supply unit. However, I managed to overcome the obstacles and completed the assembly. The computer was now ready for testing and evaluation.

The Components Used

The upgraded computer consisted of various components, including a G41 motherboard, a dual-core processor with a 2-megabyte cache and a 2.9 GHz frequency, and 4 gigabytes of RAM. The graphics card used was a Colorful GeForce 9800 GT, which was a considerable improvement compared to the previous Radeon HD 5450. Despite the limitations of the hardware, I believed that the new components would provide a significantly better gaming experience.

Testing the Performance

To assess the performance of the upgraded computer, I decided to test it with different games. I started with Need for Speed Carbon, which ran smoothly even on high settings. The frame rates were stable and there were no noticeable lags or delays. Next, I tested Crysis 3 on medium graphics settings. Although the processor struggled to cope, the game was still playable with acceptable frame rates. Moving on to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the computer was able to handle the game on low settings without any major issues. Lastly, I tested Dota 2 on low settings and achieved high frame rates, making it a suitable game to be played on the upgraded computer.

Gaming Capabilities

While the upgraded computer was not powerful enough to run demanding games like GTA V, it was still capable of providing a satisfactory gaming experience, especially for games like GTA IV and Dota 2. The performance was significantly better compared to the previous computer, and I believe that the young man would be able to enjoy gaming Sessions without any major limitations.

The Verdict

In conclusion, the upgraded computer proved to be a worthy replacement for the outdated system the young man had previously. Despite the challenges faced during the build, the computer performed reasonably well in gaming tests and offered a noticeable improvement in terms of frame rates and overall gameplay experience. I hope that the young man finds joy and excitement in his new gaming setup.

Conclusion

Embarking on this unexpected charitable act allowed me to give back to someone in need. While building the computer presented its fair share of challenges, it was a fulfilling experience to provide a better gaming system to the young man. I encourage everyone to perform acts of kindness whenever possible, as it not only benefits others but also brings joy and fulfillment to oneself. Let us all remember to cherish and Take Care of one another.
