🛠️ $115 Retro Gaming PC Build - GTX 260 + Core 2 Duo | Epic Budget Build & Major Fail! 💥

Welcome to the channel, tech fam! In this video, we're diving into a full retro gaming PC build using only Facebook Marketplace finds — including the legendary GTX 260 GPU and Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU. All-in, this entire build cost just $115, and it's perfect for playing classic 2000s-era games like World of Warcraft and Diablo III on a budget.

We cover:
✅ Full step-by-step PC build process
✅ Installing old school DDR2 parts
✅ Testing performance in real games
✅ FPS results and gameplay demos
❌ Unexpected power supply failure — and the aftermath 😱

Despite a solid start and surprisingly smooth gameplay at decent FPS, disaster strikes as the PSU goes out in a puff of smoke, taking down key components with it (motherboard, GPU, and CPU). But don’t worry — part 2 is coming, with donated PCs and a plan to rebuild better!

💡 System Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (2007)

NVIDIA GTX 260 (2008)

8GB DDR2 RAM (mixed brands)

1TB HDD

Thermaltake 430W PSU

Fractal Design case

7x RGB fans (because why not!)
