Test System & Benchmarks

We'll be doing a separate article about each of the PC's we're building: the low-cost PC, midrange PC, and high-end PC. In a fourth article that ties them all together, we'll be comparing benchmark results from the three systems.

For now however, let's have a quick look at our benchmark settings and the results we got from the low-cost PC.
