Nice system! About how much did everything cost?

$117.16 for CPU/Motherboard. I had all the other parts in an i3 system that I just transferred over. I only ended up paying $21 out of pocket because I had $96 in amazon gift cards from survey sites.

Any chance of posting some iGPU results and overclocks?

I won't even bother with iGPU testing, I tried the iGPU out in Rust at 1440x900 and it was choppy even with all settings on low. The iGPU should be fine for web browsing and watching videos but I would not suggest doing any modern gaming on it.

Given his usage I believe it. I could jump up to 12-16GB of ram. No reason really not to. I have similar amounts of tabs open.

I'm currently at 86% ram usage of my 8GB.

Ram is cheap and it doesn't hurt. Granted I probably wouldn't put it on anything but my main PC though lol.

How does this pc FEEL when you're using it OP? responsiveness, web browsing, compared to your daily PC how does this feel?

I did a swap of components from one system to the other, in web browing and productivity it feels faster than my i3 3220, it definitely feels slower in gaming but with my 7750 it is still acceptable. I am really enjoying not hearing the cpu fan.
It does everything well that I need to do. This system is now my daily PC. I wish it had 2 more dimm slots but I can get by with 16 gigs of ram.

Seems like an interesting pickup to replace other PCs in the house. But well AMD and intel both have new offerings out later this year. IT's crazy how quickly focus has switched to mobile/low power offerings and how aggressive AMD and intel are pursuing these marketse.

The 7750 + 5350 is a nice combo especially if you can bump up the CPU speeds a little.

The very low idle power consumption and full load power at under 100 Watts mean these systems are easy to keep cool and quiet. I've been using my 5350+750TI combo as a daily driver and it's perfect for 95% of things I need.


Infraction Jack;

I'm curious though, the i3 3220 should be much faster than a 5350 for the areas you're comparing (browsing and productivity), I wonder if this is due to your old setup having DPC latency issues or something? Strange.
