- Let's build MY ultimate Windows XP gaming PC. This machine, built with parts from the late 00s, would've cost $ 3,235, by today's figures, if all the parts were bought when they were release.
Oh, and we have to play games. Because games.

my era of hardwares... so satisfying to watch.. ones would need to sell a kidney or trade a child to afford those components even though someday those thing would be considered E-waste to other but still treasured by the enthusiast...
thank you for making this video..
Thank you so much. Already have some upgrades to it.
Ah, 2008
That era of hardware was something else
and to think i was only 4! i didnt start using pc's until like 2011-2013 on my brothers phenom II x4 925 bossed machine! still have it to this day and it runs! Ah the nostalgia! oh and if ya want a system spec list lmk! id be happy to share it with anyone who is interested! :D
Already working on a few future upgrades.
lookin' forward for it!
Just found this video while looking around at machines similar in spec to what I'm building and I gotta say, yours came out great. I was given an xps 720 with almost all of the bells and whistles and I've been working my way through restoring it. Really fun era of hardware to work on :)
Pure Nostalgy...THX MAN
I've recently built my Windows XP machine.
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition
Mobo: Asrock N68C-GS FX
Memory: 2x2GB DDR2 800 Dual Channel
GPU: Palit Geforce GTX 750TI 2GB
PSU: FSP HYPER-K HP600S
SSD: Gigabyte 120GB
HDD: WD 1TB Blue
ODD: 16x Black DVDROM (Planning to add DVDRW)
Case: My old Fractal Design Arc Mini R2
Monitor: Dell Square 19inches Monitor 1280x1024
Building a Windows XP PC is so satisfying and for me playing Windows XP games on a square type monitor is better than the modern wide screen monitor.
You took me back to my first buld
Pentium D 915 cpu
Gigabyte 945GCM-S2L mobo
2x512MB Apacer ram
Gigabyte 8400GS 256MB
160GB Seagate Baracuda HDD that is working from 2007 till today
Do more builds like this :)
This is a really awesome CPU / Mainboard setup ! 😄
Thank you.
Nice build, like the nvidia theamed parts. I made a verry simular build. Using 780i and 2 8800 ultra. Thanks for sharing you build 👍
I still miss HDD sound!!! And Floppy sounds too!!! Great Green Mean Machine!!! Nice Work :D
Thank you sir!
this is awsome. i remember this mobo i always wanted one but was out of my price range. i did get one tho 15yrs later lol
Que saudades gigantes da época do XP! Adorava ir para a loja onde o meu pai trabalhava para ir para o pc jogar 3D Pinball e Solitário XD
Mas tens aí um xp de topo mesmo, que nice!! :o
Nice stuff! 😎
I also had a pair of Raptors in a reckless Raid0 for the OS, back in 2005-7 😁
Maybe for the v2 change also the SATA cables with green (or black) ones 😉
Oh yes, more green being taken care of.
uma máquina dessas rodando tudo na época era um verdadeiro sonho se realizando
Got my XP rig too, DDR2 4gb ram. gtx 750 ti or 950. Asus Rampage Formula ROG motherboard, and a core2duo e8400. Love old school computers.
Wow dude, that turned out just beautiful.
Thank you.
Awesome! Love this era, I've got 2 XP machines, one a bit older based around a Gallatin Pentium 4 extreme edition and one very similar to this. Here are the specs:
Q9650
Asus Maximus II Formula (P45)
2x2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066mhz RAM
BFG GTX285
Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite pro
Corsair HX750w PSU
Corsair Carbide 300r windowed case
I had lots of 775 motherboards back in the day. I really wanted SLi like you so I had a 780i based Asus Striker II formula which was such a disappointment that I swapped it for an Asus Rampage II formula which was probably the best motherboard I ever owned. I still have it but I never got a chance to try out the P45 chipset so thought I'd give the Maximus II formula a go.
This channel so good bro 🎉 hi from Turkey🇹🇷😊
LGR reference?
Master 😃✌
LGR is that you ? haha, I like your video and I subbed, greetings from Argentina
Thank you.
And greetings to Argentina.
PC brutal! Também tenho algumas máquinas com o XP (uma delas um antigo PC da Highscreen da já falecida Vobis!) e quando dá aquela nostalgia bem forte, aqui vai disto xD.
I also have a dedicated XP machine, not as hardcore as yours, but it does the job ;)
Thanks for putting this together, David! Take care!
Me too. I have two. E7500 with 8800 GT and second Phenom X2 550 with HD 4850 in crossfire or HD 6850 Cyclone. How is yours?
@@bestopinion9257 What do you use yours for?
@@aceyyyy937 It is for old games. No need to deal with incompatibilities. I have rigs for Windows 98 too. And more stuff around to build even more rigs. But I need more cases for that and I do not want to buy/have more cases.
@@bestopinion9257 fair play, would a Win 7 pc work just as well? I was thinking of building and XP system for old games like Fallout 1/2 as the discs for those dont work on Win 10 for me. It says CD not inserted after installing and launching. So I googled and apparently Win 7 isn't a bad option for retro gaming?
@@bestopinion9257 i'm also tempted by Vista just because that OS brings the most nostalgia to me, regardless of its isssues
4GB of RAM is more appropriate for this system.
Obrigado por postar essa maravilha de vídeo.
I can tell you watch LGR
What a beast!
Thanks.
Currently building building a 2008 PC build myself with the GTX260 and a Core 2 Quad Q9400, I could have gone for something a lot more powerful but I wanted it to be on par with what people were actually using at the time,
I just built something similar starting with a gaming pc from 2007 that I picked up for $20. Nvidia 650i ultra motherboard, core 2 duo 6750, 5gb ram, GTX 260, sound blaster live 5.1, 240gb ssd, and a cold cathode light. It was on windows 7 but I installed XP 32 bit.
That could be the ultimate windows 7 machine, I really love windows 7
what a great video i love it
Thank you.
Wow I found the same s.s.d. out out of a computer on it way to be recycled and it works great in other words a really great choice you made!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great PC
Beautiful love how everything is nvidia
Hey man have you seen LGR Ultimate Windows XP PC it's pretty close to what just built, lot of the same parts / hardware. Really cool though. Thank you for sharing And God Bless my friend.
Sure. Big fan of Clint's work. I've done some modifications since and still have a couple to do.
I remember using a Zalman CPU cooler just like yours back in the day, it looked great and mine was shiny copper, but you know what, it was trash. It didn't keep my AMD dual-core cool at all
Truly beautiful.
Thanks.
It's a beaut! You should replace the exhaust fan with a green LED one.
More green stuff is in the making.
NGL that ram runs hot and id add another fan for better air flow anyways to help those GPUS
If I was the T-1000 from Terminator 2, I would approach you and say, "Say, that's a nice setup." But really, that is a pretty darn good setup. I have two Windows XP systems. One has an Athlon 64 4000+ with 2 GB of memory, and the graphics adapter is a Ati Sapphire X1950 GT AGP 8x. That setup isn't too fast as games around 2005 and beyond, the PC is a bit too slow. My second Windows XP system has an AMD FX 4200 CPU with 4 GB of memory, as well as an AMD HD 6870 Graphics adapter. It's nice and fast, but the compatibility for older games isn't very good. I want to build something in the middle. I want to see, sometime this fall, about building a Core 2 Duo PC with a relatively fast CPU, with 4 GB of memory, and a Geforce 8800 GTX graphics adapter. I had a very similar setup back at 2007, but with a mid to high range Core 2 Duo and 2 GB of memory. I didn't play too much on it, because I was more into the Xbox 360. My ideal Windows XP system is to have perfect compatibility from 1999 to 2007. Any later than that, I play those games on my Windows 7 PC.
You've mounted the Zalman cooler not right, well the best optimal position is the clip aligned with the cooler's fan, not sideways like you did, I have the same cooler on my 775 machine.
If you are looking for timestamps for each individual part of the build, here you are:
1:04 Motherboard (EVGA 122-CK-NF-68)
2:36 CPU (Intel Core2 Extreme QX6850)
3:30 Cooler (Zalman CNPS9700-NT)
4:54 RAM (OCZ Nvidia SLI-Ready Edition DDR2 PC2-8500)
5:53 SSD (Intel SSD 40GB)
6:28 HDDs (2x Western Digital WD740 Raptor 80GB)
7:02 Soundcard (Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic)
7:24 GPUs (2x BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512 MB + Sli)
8:33 PSU (Corsair TX750W)
Thanks!
Ok thank u
Building my own retro machine with 2+2gb 800mgz, e8400 and gts 450 cyclone tomorrow. Should be a nice combo
I'm using the same cpu for my windows 98se machine with geforce 5950 ultra, only 1 core is utilized but works really well with every game i throw at
nice end of the period for winXP.
my winXP computer is overkill, i5-3570k, gtx 970 etc. lol
Thank you.
Back in the day, EVGA mb were like a dream.
Watched your xfi card video before and at a glance, thought you were using the GTX 260 or 280 in SLI, I had the BFG 8800 GTS back in the day to, I’d waited nearly 2 years for the 8800 GTX to come down in price so bought one, a week later the 8800 GTS 512 was released and I was very sad I’d bought the 8800 GTX as it was slightly faster and cheaper even though it had less vram. I was very naughty and bent a pin on the cooling fan plug so it didn’t work and took the card back for a refund, promptly bought the GTS lol also had a 9800 x2 and 280 I sold very cheap on a car boot which I’m still kicking my self for to this day.
I want to see NFS Most Wanted 2005 gaming on this PC!
How about a Phys-X card, I remember rocking one of them back in the day with a build quite like this.
Oh, maybe! :D
my dream xp computer , i want that one, now i have q6600 core 2 quad, 4gb ram, gtx280, normal fan
three hitachi ultrastar a7k2000 HDDs, corsair rmx850 watt power supply, two lightscribe rw dvd recorders, floppy drive, samsung 226BW monitor, microlab B77 speakers
Oh, I need to get SLI for my XP rig. That still has one of the last AGP cards Nvidia ever made "7800 GS +" that I see still go for insane prices on Ebay. It's more of a novelty rig than a powerhouse. Tho it runs everything I want on it just fine.
It's a novelty powerhouse.
@@DeckardGames Needs and RGB CPU fan too. As mine still has the boxed fan :P
@@Balc0ra RGB on a windows XP machine? I dunno.
The zalman has a green (nvidia) led.
@@DeckardGames I guess LED is more time correct. RGB might be overkill for an XP rework.
LGR has a funny accent.
O meu build da altura tinha exactamente esse Zalman, dos melhores decipadores que já tive em maquinas.
Bom ou não, não sei. Mas é grande e com aspeto anos 2000.
Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing in the video
Yes
Do you use a antivirus for it on your windows xp computer since i heard you can easily get viruses when just connected to the internet on windows xp?
I had the same MB and had nothing but issues with it; RMA the board 3 times. Moved over to an ASUS MB and was 3.6 oc stable. Never touched EVGA again. CPU was a Q6600 btw
Nvidia chipset boards were always a bit weird.
i m experiencing an "uh" overload
Good
Nice pc btw how you get new core 2 duo box
Thats so cool....i had nforce back in the day....powering my amd64....😀😀
Not 4 cores.....4 extreme cores 😁😁
Also had nforce2 with my athlon 64 3200+
@@DeckardGames It was one of my favorite builds, the Geforce 6600 GT
Oh yes. I had an 6600gt also. From xfx.
BFG can be a Big facking gun, but it can also be a Bio force gun.
Lovely build! What case is that?
It's a Nox Hummer ZS. Probably going to replace it.
Personally if this were my build, I would have hunted down a cheesey early 2000s windowed case
And secondly, A nice old trinitron VGA tube. Other than that, nice build.
The case was changed.
Do Next Windows 7
Get a Hyper 212+ for that 775. EBay, yes, but a much better cooler.
You and LGR inspired me to make my own high-end Windows XP gaming PC. I don't have the stuff yet, but if I get more money (or get a job), then I'll buy the stuff and build one. After that, I might build a MS-DOS gaming PC.
motherboard evga 680i sli nf69 black pearl or ecs pn1 sli2 manufactured in taiwan with original nvidia parts not marvell for windows xp
15:01 why you moved view away after you shooted the ION CANON? 😪😭
evga 680i sli mainboard premium is of good quality made in taiwan has the best bios award version, pciexpress 2.0, nvidia NIC is unique will be updated until 2040 but i chose older motherboard asus m2n32 sli deluxe wireless edition, processor phenom 9850 black edition, two graphics cards geforce 8800 gtx sli, audio sound card asus xonar D2 pci, windows xp professional 32 bit
I really don't recommend nvidia chipset, I had always just problems with them, like not recognizing some graphic cards for no reason, lower performance than with intel chipset, really high temperature of north bridge. But nvidia chipset is a cool retro I guess. 😀
I have E8600 (I have even Q9550, I am still not sure if quad core makes sense for XP gaming) and GTX 275 for ultimate Win XP gaming, I also have GTX 460, but raw performance is the same, but maybe I will let it there to have DX11 support in Win 7 on second HDD.
Such computer is perfect for playing games like FarCry, FEAR, Quake 4 on ultra.
I had several MBs there, even some very fancy Asus Striker II (nvidia chipset), but it had -15% performance than the cheapest ordinary MBs, my old beloved P35 platinum combo unfortunately already died, that was really good MB and I also sold my old MSI with P45 chipset, that was mistake 10 yearsa go. I loved MSI back in the day, they had real copper coolers (not fake copper color paint like Asus) and their BIOSes were much better, it was showing real CPU and ram frequency which made overclocking really easy, while with some Asus or others, you still had to use calculator while changing FSB, which is ridiculous.
Now I have some Asus with P43 chipset, it's very basic ordinary MB from that time, but it's reliable and performance is good, so it's ok I guess.
I think I will put that Q9550 there to have even some Win 7 gaming possibility, because I am afraid that it will not take a long time and some games from that period of time will have compatibility issues and also, I prefer to play GOG versions with no DRM and no internet connection on gaming PC at all. When you have gaming only PC and you have some problem, you can just reinstall it in one day which I like. Try to reinstall your main PC with Win 10/11, that will take weeks to set and install everything you had there back.
I still have my 2014 Haswell build (except R9 380, I already sold it), I am using it as movie computer now, but I think it will be good for gaming once again after some time.
PS: Don't use DDR3 with socket 775, it's not reliable, OC will be very limited and you need old RAMs with no XMP profiles to make it really stable. I still keep my old Patriot memories which had all parameters natively, not thru some XMP profile.
Love the LGR style
More like ripping off LGR.
@@BobbyLight891 ‘suppose
How did you get Crysis running on Windows XP 32-bit? I have a retail version and GOG version, and neither one will work. They go to a black screen at launch and immediately crash. I do not even get to see the startup logos for Crytek, Nvidia, and Intel. I cannot find helpful information on multiple searches and reading through forum threads. Apparently not many people posted about running this game in XP and having issues.
Just installed it and it runs. Did nothing.
Never had a problem with crysis and xp.
@@DeckardGames I was afraid you would say that. Does it require any online activation or other prerequisites to launch?
@@Junkyard_Dawg nope. I just install it and that's it.
the cooling on the processor is the worst, it has the appearance and shape of a vacuum cleaner, the ram memory is connected wrong, so the performance will be worse

wrong ram slots u have to put them in the black ones.
The only reason to ise lga 775 is for win 98
well for a pc you can buy a titan rtx it has the drivers
also i like you i subbed and liked this vid
Did you install XP using a CD or a USB? And how did you get an SSD to be compatible?
CD. Compatible with what?
@@DeckardGames I thought there was a special process in getting XP to read SSD. I could be wrong. For some reason I can't get my dell precision 3650 tower to boot from disc drive nor be able to boot the ISO from USB. Using Windows XP Integral edition.
@@HunterVaughanMusic not reading ssd is not a thing.
It's not detecting sata devices?
@@DeckardGames Haven't got that far yet. I can't get the computer to read the XP ISO from CD or bootable USB. Works with a bootable Win 10 USB no problem.
@@HunterVaughanMusic Question is: are the devices detected in the bios?
If yes. There's a problem with the image and/or the way you created the usb drive.
they way you where pulling on that northbridge heatsink after installing the cooler is so cringe...
Don't cringe.
