I built an X99 platform with 18C/36T about three years ago, complete with lightly used RTX2080Ti ($220), a lightly used Lian Li ATX case (Lancool II Mesh Performance, $38), 48GB DDR4...all together (incl PSU, etc.) it came to $640. Terrific deal and an excellent office PC that can also game at 1440P. Fast forward three years...a new AM4 platform (5800X + B550F; for $250) and a new RX7900GRE ($500)...a $700 upgrade! I will sell off the X99/XEON for $100-$120 and a 2080Super ($150)...meaning the upgrade came in under $450. Not bad!

Even a GT 730 is worth. Either used to troubleshoot rigs, serve as display for older PCs to add just a little more power to watch videos and handle better UI's in other OS's that use something like KDE Plasma, or even as display for a server/workstation that is focused on CPU applications and tasks, I've seen so many super powerful CPU-specific workstations and servers using these little fellas as display output. Really almost nothing is useless when it comes to this stuff as they will almost be used for something, especially for average use or throwback builds.

As a casual PC flipper, I am just blow away with the prices you get parts at, I normally spend around $250 usd to get a i5 3570 with a rx580 build and I manage to sell it for $350 but when you showed that i7 4770 1060 build and you showed the price to make it and to sell it, that build would sale for $380 in California, and you made it for $109 usd, I am just amazed, it made me rethink everything I know about flipping.

SSDs nowadays are so cheap HDDs are no longer worth it as boot drives. While you can still get a higher capacity HDD cheaper than a SSD with the same capacity, I think going quality over quantity is the right play here. Of course, some modern games are far too heavy on storage for their own good, but even 512GB is enough if you don't keep too many games installed at once. Sure, if you are at the bottom of the barrel and can't get *anything* better, a HDD will do even if it will also test your patience. Hopefully you wouldn't be installing anything other than Linux distros that perform the best on low-end hardware, like antiX. I use antiX pretty much everywhere, and it has been excellent. Snappy, doesn't require much performance to run, overall very lightweight

@@POLARTTYRTMI'm not so sure about that, i mean sure in theory is correct, but in the practice is a metter of "luck". Manufacturers of HDD usually give a 5 year life span average for their drives, i mean generally thats what an HDD usually live. But you can bet $1000 that its not always the case, usually they last for few more years than what manufacturers say. I currently still have an HDD from my previous pc, i buy the dam thing in 2016 so its 8 years and is till in good condition. Obiously im using an SSD for the SO, thats unquestionable. And of course SSD are so cheap nowdays there is no real reason not to go for them. And yet, for the right price i would still pick up an HDD as secondary drive, never over an SSD but if its "free like cheap" or something, sure i pick it up as storage for installers and other not crucial data. Anyway what i tryed to say as conclusion, is that the sole fact of the possible failure of a HDD, is not enough to throw it to the trash can just yet. HDD is still decent for a pc intended for web exploring, youtube, videoplayback of not so large raw files, old games, etc. As long as this hipotetic pc has a decent cpu+ram combo, the only real issue of running only one HDD is how long does it take to start up the system, and some software.

I buy spining drives because it is cheaper than Bluray per gigabyte. I wouldn't use them as main drives for daily drivers. If you are building a torrent machine or security cam, then it have its use. For gaming, its a no go. 20 bucks for 256 SSD. Criminal to sell a machine without SSD.

A seriously underrated Tech Channel!! Thanks for all the great content! These mix and match builds remind me of of my younger years, when i was fortunate enough to have a friend of the family that worked with CAD (A small company that designed and tested electric motors that I eventually worked for when I was in college). He would always give me his old pcs knowing that i would learn from and make use of them (starting on dos and working up to Windows 95 before building my first "new" pc in the XP era). I had one of these that came with a Rage 128 video card and i upgraded the ram to the max and hooked up a bunch of drives to it... lol used it for emulation and StarCraft way beyond its life expectancy... cases had like zero airflow back then... just a metal box with an exhaust fan. so, I remember sliding back the top part of the case to leave a slit for air to pass through. Good times! thanks for the memories!

07:20 : I can definitely understand your frustration about the “haunted-case” ,since I’ve been at the same situation in the past : It was around 2005-2006 I believe , my PC would not power-on and I ended up replacing *EVERYTHING* inside(*fortunately I always keep a lot of spare parts as a reserve for such situations) but still….🤬 *the PC wouldn’t power-on* !!! *I was so frustrated that I ended up asking help from a professional technician who I paid to come in my house and give a look to my PC* . He told me that I was screwing the motherboard screws too tight in the PC-case and this was resulting to cause some sort of short-circuit with the case !!! I never thought that I could encounter such an issue ,if I hadn’t called the technician I would have never figured that out …. Unbelievable !!!

I Build custom PCs but also do repeats, you would be surprised how many people when they get a new PC from me just chuck out the old one, they ask me if I can wipe the HDD/SSD drive before they take it to the recycle Centre. So, me being me I tell them about my ''free recycling scheme'' and how they can get a 35-pound money off code for high street stores if they utilize my scheme. Basically, I take the PC and use the parts for repeats or build a mid to low end PC and sell it on for a profit. I then buy a high street card from love to shop with the value of £35 to be spent at one of 1500 Uk high street stores. Everyone's a winner.

On the Cursed Case, at about 7:50 you can see the motherboard standoffs are molded in the back of the case. My money is on one of those that isn't used on the Optiplex mobo touching the back. I've fixed similar in the past, usually with a hammer and a layer of electrical tape to be sure. Also curious, why not drop another few bucks to throw a cheap 256gb SSD in there as well? It'd massively improve performance in Windows and be a much better gaming experience.

Rx470 bottom of the barrel pepehands When i was building my 13900KS pc, i actually used my old R9 290 while i had both pcs (4790k/2070S was the main at the time) on the desk in a dual pc mess while overclocking the 13900KS ... and anyways.. while it might have been carried by the cpu, the r9290 could actually 60fps quite a few modern titles! Even Rust at 1440p low~ could be 60fps!

I like starting from the motherboard and GPU combo. I like matching them brand-wise so that if there's any RGB the customer only needs one RGB program to make it all work. Though in all honesty every manufacturer's RGB software is crap with the exception of Corsair's iCue (in my opinion). Looking forward to the Season 4 Flip up challenge!
@HappyBeezerStudios 4 ай бұрын
Since I don't have any interest in unicorn vomit, I would even prefer not having to install any RGB software at all. And of no RGB makes the board cheaper, even better.

Not amazing deals but recently managed to get an i5 9400 8GB and an asus prime h130m of ram pc for 70€, the surprise was (other than a free silent keyboard and a knockoff g203) a 500GB WD Blue SSD, PSu kinda crap though. Everything was brand new and unused. While looking for a cheap gpu, I've found a whole system with an i3 4170t 8gb ram and 256gb ssd on a mATX case with a PSU chamber (similar to the corsair air 240 but without front mesh and transparent side panel) , the surprise was a GTX 1650 for 75€ and a decent PSU. So transplanting the i5 on this case, adding a stick of 8gb for dual channel ram and gifting it to my brother, and planning to get a cheap xeon e3 1270v3 and add my 750ti for a backup system.
@yurak4003 4 ай бұрын
Download the latest BIOS, modify it, and flash it. Then your motherboard will be able to support Xeons, such as the 1270 v5. It's almost like the 6700 but costs $33-35.

The budget sector has always been huge. Most people aren't buying a 4090 equivalent. Looking at the steam charts, the x60 are the most popular cars, mixed with a couple x50 Ti and x70 entries. As someone looking for an upgrade myself, while being on a budget, I sadly have some specific requirements that aren't the typical gaming setup. My games tend to be rather CPU heavy, and many aren't well multithreaded (so I don't need 16 cores, but the cores have to be fast), and I have lots of peripherals and multiple drives. (so lots of USB and SATA ports are a must) The first system (i7-3770, GT 1030) for example is weaker than what I'm already on, the second one (i7-2700, GT 1030) is an incremental sidegrade at the wrong corner, the third and fourth (i7-3770, GTX 1650 and i7-4770, GTX 1060) are pretty close to what I already have, the fifth (i7-6700, GTX 1080 TI) is the opposite of what I need from an upgrade (strong where I don't need it and weak where I need more performance).

🙂 sure but if its a gaming pc with an older platform the i7 has to stay, alot of normies start out with a little beater video card and then down the line they can upgrade it themselves, changing the video card most normies can do that, but upgrading the cpu I wouldnt advise that.

Now it's time to get my procrastinating azz motivated, got a few MOBOs, CPUs and GPUs to test out and then if all goes well, will be deciding what should go where and which case and why etc.
