I built a midrange gaming PC for my brother with a budget of around £550 pounds.
After completing the build i was curious as to how it performed to my computer
And after running the number i realised i have spent double the amount he has.
So i wanted to where that money has gone and was it worth it. I have compiled a list of 
Benchmarks from both systems and have compared them to one another. This should give you some indication of the difference in performance between the two systems.
I hope you enjoy the video.
