Please note:
These figures are realistic performance estimates rather than
guaranteed benchmark results. Actual FPS can vary depending on the
processor, memory, drivers, game updates, background applications,
cooling, selected map and individual game settings. Ray tracing,
shaders, resolution scaling and frame generation can also
significantly change performance.
Integrated graphics estimates assume 16GB of dual channel 3200MHz
memory. Systems using single channel memory or slower RAM may deliver
substantially lower integrated graphics performance.

Common Questions
🎯 Who is this PC for?
The No Frills is built for gamers who want genuine dedicated graphics card performance without paying for lighting, glass panels or other extras they will not notice while playing.
It is a great entry point for EAFC 26, GTA 5, Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2, and for anyone who wants a modern Windows 11 compliant platform at the lowest honest price.
🎮 Can this PC run Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2?
Yes. Both titles run smoothly on medium settings at 1080p, which are the two most demanding games on our test list for this build.
EAFC 26 and GTA 5 are considerably lighter and both run comfortably above 60fps on high settings.
♻️ Why are some parts refurbished?
The CPU, RAM and graphics card in this build are refurbished and fully tested before use. This is how we keep The No Frills at such a low honest price without cutting corners on real gaming performance.
Every refurbished component is checked and confirmed working before it goes into your build.
🖥️ Why does the AM4 platform matter?
Many budget PCs at this price point are still built on old DDR3 platforms that do not officially support Windows 11.
The No Frills uses the modern AM4 platform, which is fully Windows 11 compliant and gives you a genuinely current foundation rather than outdated hardware repackaged as a budget option.
