news 28 Posted August 4, 2014 <http://www.eteknix.com> PC Spe[censored]t Vanquish 270X System Review Intel's Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition CPU release has been very exciting for the PC market, the main reason is that you can now get high-end desktop performance for the price of an entry level system. This is because the bulk of applications and games are still largely dependent on the performance of 1-2 CPU cores, so with the potential to get around 4.5-4.8GHz on both its cores the Pentium G3258 can offer Core i7 4790K-like performance in one to two threaded applications. Today we are testing PC Spe[censored]t's Vanquish 270X system which they have configured and built especially for us! This system features a Pentium G3258 CPU overclocked to a whopping 4.7GHz and that's paired up with a Powercolor R9 270X 2GB graphics card and 8GB of RAM. All in all this means there is more than enough grunt in this system to drive all the latest gaming titles maxed out at full 1080p or even as high as 1440p depending on the game, as well as to do a wide variety of other productivity and home tasks. What's even more impressive is that the components used are really cost effective, so this build comes in at just £579! PC Spe[censored]t have made very sensible component choices to keep the pricing in that sweet spot zone: they've opted for the unlocked Pentium, AMD's R9 270X, an SSHD, Gigabyte's entry level Z97 gaming series motherboard and Corsair's affordable 230T chassis houses it all. Below you can see the full specifications of this build: URL - http://www.eteknix.com/pc-spe[censored]t-vanquish-270x-system-review/ -- Share this post Link to post
