Roux's retro pc building thread.

The Phenom X6 1050t is from 9 years ago. When the first I7s came out.

So my current PC, FX-8320, is almost 9 years old. Is it also considered retro? I can still play the latest games. Playing RDR 2 on high. Skeem I'll be playing Cyberpunk 2077 on it as well.

Yes it is retro :-). Just because Intel held back CPU advancement for a decade.
 
Hey, is B450 and B350 retro already? I hope B550 is cause soon I'll do a video on that too since this B450 I used had a flaw....

 
This one is pretty sweet, only Windows 11 won't let me go up to 85hz in 1024x768 so I am running it 1152x864 @ 75hz which is flicker free to my eyes. In 60hz this sucker will take it all the way to 1920x1080 which looks horrible in 4:3.

Might sell it shortly when the novelty nostalgia wears off.
