I think "Will it boot?" Is a neat series name, so thats my vote.

I appreciate the shout-out! This is what it’s all about, the PC community.

Hey Edgar. I retested those no boot set of ram sticks, and yeah they were finicky. Oddly posted on an Intel test bench, but then failed under stress test immediately, and no boot on my AMD test bench. Did post on my rig, but one of the sticks would post and show up in bios, but none of the ram was accessible. Im guessing good ole old school Static disharge damage. It is Ram afterall, and its a volatile component. Ended up having Corsair RMA'ing the kit. So the kit was defective, My bad. Happy to have replaced them and your project completed!! Looks Good!! And thanks for the Blessings!! :D

PLEASE do more used market PC builds!! I just love that not only we get to see you interact with some fans, fellow PC builders and tech enthusiasts, but this video kinda inspired me to venture in the used market. It's really a gamble because there can be some great deals, but do you trust it?

“Boot or bust” would be my name suggestion. I think it would be cool to do this in different price budgets, or constrain yourself to hit certain performance numbers. Maybe in the future use specific apps to make your deals to make it more challenging? I.e just offer up, just Mercari, just marketplace etc. could also do full setup challenges including peripherals. This inspired me to search for deals to refresh my PC. 7 years strong but definitely showing it’s age with new games.

Would love to see this as a series. Think a lot of people live in the used parts space. Trouble shooting is a huge part of building too. This is the stuff people need more coverage for. Keep putting love and positivity into the world ✌️

As a pc builder of 18 years, I have only seen ram issues with intel kits on AMD builds. The double or triple reboot on the motherboard was definitely ram training/testing from AMD's bios settings. Some kits do work with AMD and vice-versa, depending on the cpu sku from either side. I did find your vod from my recommended, and was highly impressed with the content you're making. I love it!

Joshua should get a huge shoutout for being the good guy.

As someone who flips PCs , I've dealt with a lot of RAM issues, especially with Ryzen chips. Particularly with the older generations the memory controllers aren't exactly great, and RAM compatibility is always an issue. I won't declare a set of RAM dead until I've at least tried it with an updated BIOS (which I do on all boards anyway), as that often hugely improves RAM compatability with Ryzen. I've also had a lot of issues with Corsair Vengeance LPX. It's cheap RAM. i've experienced exactly your issue - no POST with a Ryzen CPU and Corsair LPX, which then worked fine after a BIOS update. Live and learn. A lot of rookie mistakes were made but you did well anyway (especially that case...). You can learn a TON doing this, BTW. Especially troubleshooting lol... Would make a good series. Few tips: RAM and storage are so cheap right now that it's best to just go new with them. Saves you headaches, and time. If you're flipping, add some $20 cable extensions and a $20 CPU cooler with some RGB and not only will it sell much faster, but you'll get a better price (more than what the cxooler and extensions cost). The markets will vary but you should be able to get $700-800 for that PC at least - *IF* you added those cosmetics and had a good listing. I do similar builds all the time, there's actually a pretty big market for those types of PCs. A lot of people can't afford more.

Edgar is one of the most wholesome people on KZfaq! He saved $5 on a part and decided to give that $5 to someone who needed it and was grateful!

Huge thumbs up to joshua for being honest, most sellers would just block you in these situations even the big names, ❤

Love the concept and hope you a series just like this. Under a grand would really help out parents, family, friends, etc. especially showing a way to make it unique! ❤

This is another thing I don't like buying used parts... People don't include the boxes. I always include the boxes when I sell my used parts. I always keeps the boxes safe and put them in a plastic bag like garbage bags and label them, so that they don't get dusty.

Trash or treasure is a good ish name for that if you do make it a series. Would love to see a series out of this the second hand market doesn’t get as much attention as it should, not all of them are scammers and as this video proves there are bargains to be had!

the seller came in clutch to help you fix the unfortunate situation you had happen to you!! Love to see that in the pc community.

5 Stars for Joshua ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love all of your videos. Seeing you build this pc gives me hope knowing it is possible to build a good pc on a super budget. If you are looking to keep these types of builds going I think the series should be called Trash to Treasure.

I pick up used components all the time and can tell you how often I ran into stuff like this at first. Any loose components, almost always require cleaning with some IPA, people are messy and stuff like this just gets left sitting out most of the time. Also, always pull the CMOS battery on any loose motherboard ahead of time on a fresh build, you have no idea what profile the previous owner used. Once I started cleaning everything, I think I only got screwed over maybe once in the past year on a MB, but luckily I know how to solder and was able to fix that as well.

Yeah, Please make this a series i enjoy watching these videos and learning tips and tricks to improve my own setup for very little money! I think you should name it Used Builds

Definitely make a series dude. 100% Entertainment 👌

I hope you decide to make this into a series! I recently built a PC from used and new parts and found the used market to be full of value right now. I bought an ROG X470 mobo with a R5 2600x for $90!

I flipped 3-4 similar specd PC's for around $450-550. Just hard to find cheap am4 boards these days, everything else is around the price you bought them for. Rx 5700xt is the sweet spot for budget builds right now

W Tech man, You're so kind to your people and I love it.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Litt the format itches somewhere in my head - Please make this a series hahaha

I love this this new idea for a series, i know it might take more work than some other videos but i was glued to this through out! Plus as someone who also likes buying, building and reselling pc's as a hobby i can very much relate to everything in this video. My last build was actualy very similar to this one in both components and price (r5 3600 with a NZXT kraken x53 240, gigabyte rx 5700 xt gaming oc, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz, a 120gb ssd (corsair force) and a 1tb wd green hhd, corsair cs850m and the fractal design define c tempered glass for about 320 bucks), it works great and i decided to use it as my second pc and not sell it. (btw i live in sweden and finding used parts can be very hard here)

Loved it. Please continue this series. I'm guessing a name like "Used Builds" should be good enough to explain it to new viewers looking at the second hand market.

"Built Cheap" is a good name for new series

Man, I wish I could get that lucky with the "timing" of sales... Finding good sellers who are always on time is always the hardest part.. great video Sir!

As a on and off pc flipper what i usually do is price the parts new on pc part picker, and list for 75-90% of the total cost(depending on condition of parts) and typically get it sold after negotiating at 65-75% of the total cost of parts

That's a really good idea for a series! I think you should show the process of every part like you did with the CPU(say how much you want to spend on the part,searching,say what are the options and the negotiations)

I subscribed after seeing you giving that man money. Good heart man, don't let it get broken!

Love this man! Keep them coming, really really good watch!

I love how every time Ed runs into a fan the interaction is so wholesome ❤☺️

Ed, 45 mins of great content and I reckon a once a month series, as it gives a little more time to hussle those parts.

just started watching your content thank you for being straight too the point and really good at being entertaining its nice too see some different mixtures

I like these series as a dad who knows nothing about what is a decent setup and what not, i see these parts for sale all the time but have no clue what is good or not. So thank you :)

I’ve built a lot of computers using used parts, including some of parts for the one first pc I built with the help of a Techsource how to video. Always had good luck. Knock on wood. 😂

This was a SUPER cool journey. Loved the editing and pacing too. If you're still looking for a name for the series - how about "Recycled Rigs" - has a nice ring to it lol

Awesome deal for that machine! I've recently built a system with mostly used parts and costed me around 500 bucks (3700x, 2070 Super, 32GB ram, 1TB NVME). However the used power supply got fried while stress testing the pc, fortunately did not damage anything and only the power supply got toasted. You can definitely save money buying used and over time I've learned a lot too.

This video was great! Please make this a series

"POST OR TOAST" that's got a good ring to it wouldn't you say !!

I've been watching your content for a while and love set up wars. This was a great video to see what it is like to game on a budget and marketplace is great for doing this exact thing. Would love to see more content like this and see what computers you can build from used parts. There is definitely plenty of tech out there on the used market to build something epic.

I just bought a i7-13700 , rtx 4060 ti, 32gb ram, 1tb nvme, 850W PSU and a 240 AIO...$300...I almost felt bad. Until the guy told me he built it himself, which means he knew the cost. Thank you, my son appreciates the new PC for the cost of the CPU alone.

Really enjoyed this episode😁❤ keep going man👌

Awesome episode! This has given me so many ideas as far as selling my own used parts. Someone out there could benefit from it. We have to make this a series for sure, and perhaps a spin-off where you challenge the community in making their own budget build. I would call this series "Secondhand Setups".

This series should totally be called "Ooba Dooba PC Cummies" ❤❤

We need more episodes of this!

Ngl this is my first time watching your channel... As a PC flipper myself I loved the energy and effort you put into the build as well as the care you showed to the customers and just the people around you. I'm subscribed, you'll get my views! :D

Love this series! I rock a 3080 and a 5600 my whole pc is built from parts bought from FB marketplace so videos like these makes it feel more personal towards me I’m sure others may feel the same

I take the current market value of each used part (CEX or Ebay depending on location) and add a build fee to it. Make sure to count everything, fans, RGB all of that. On the flip side, after so many wins like this its good to find people who normally cant afford something high end and give them a killer deal. Like a younger kid or student that can use it for way more than just gaming. Those are my thoughts and that is how I roll. As far as the build fee price. That is going to differ from person to person. How much time did you invest in sourcing and building the system, travel expenses and all that needs to be taken into consideration if you plan on doing this over the long term. I sold around 70 some last year and I work alone and do it just cuz.

Never heard of you until this video. This is my jam. Subscribed. Will stay subscribed if you keep doing this type of content.

Great Vidoes to be honest learning so much and you truly made me understand that i dont really got to go for a Huge budget as a start for gaming when i can afford pc's at such Low prices loved this video and love the "best gaming pc at '600$' etc" series truly great work Ed. Side note:Quite sure Sheila and Olivia are going to be raised with great Knowledge on the IT World hahahah they're adorable kids good job in parenting aswell Ed

Why is bro just doxxing himself💀💀💀

Bro a few of these parts you got were pretty bad deals. $40 for 3200mhz 16gb ram is almost the exact price for new. Also a new 5500 is $100, you should have been able to get one used for $70-$80. The graphics card was a decent deal tho. **edit** right after I typed that Edgar acknowledged that it was a bad deal so at least he realized it lol

dude! amazing video! MOREEEE PLEASEEEE I LOVE THIS

its an interesting series to start i really enjoyed watching it alot!!

This video was fire, loved that he went and actually recorded all the deals. Hope this becomes a series

Would be cool to see an all Ebay auction video where you can only use parts you win from auction, no buy it nows. would be neat to see what comes out of it!

so glad you have so much fun with this as well, part of why i watch

PLEASEEE MAKE THIS A SERIES

I recommend naming this series Used for You, Flea Builds, or Cheap Towers

I got the best deal ever on offer up :) i7 8700k, gtx 1080 650w, psu x370 a-pro idk motherboard, 16gb ram 3000hz, be quite pure rock rgb cooler, weird 16gb optane ssd+256gb ssd+2tb hhd. It felt like straight robbery for $120. Doesn't end there tho its a whole setup - final mouse cape town sells used for 100, 1440p 165hz Dell v24gapu something numbers, Razer keyboard I forgot the name, Razer rgb mousepad, and a 5tb portable hard drive which added a +$10 so total was $130

Hey bud advice from a used pc builder and flipper here, WE normally purchase everything used ASIDE from the storage and RAM. It's just better for longevity and normally you save $5 on each. not worth it unless your doing a super budget DDR3 build. - Much love! Note - Also try for a new PSU that's slightly lower in wattage. Just a safer idea.

new section will be amazing i love your series!

Ed, when buying on the used market if there is a rating system for the seller, I would also check that before buying anything. I got screwed over a few times and one time I had to involve the police because I payed a large sum of money, thankfully I got my money back.

Bro gets a ton of PCs when I don’t have one 😂😂😂

I'm glad prices are coming back down, and availability is going back up. I thought I did pretty good finding a system for $700 last year with a 5800X, Aorus Elite Wifi, 16 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB, 1TB WD Black, and RX 5700 XT Red Devil. I'm running 1440p pretty well. I did end up spending a bit more to upgrade the AIO, case (Fractal Design North) and PSU, but I used the old parts to put together another old 1080p capable PC to sell. I also figured out that the GPU was running hot because someone installed pads that were too thick, so I repasted with PTM 7950 and appropriate pads. The system runs well, now. Nice video!

Awesome video, would really love to see this becoming a serie!

I’d be interested in including the price of peripherals with these builds too- I never anticipated spending as much as I did on it all outside of the pc alone

Or call it "Recycle bin"

You should totally make a series out of this. You live in California and have a great used market for pc parts, there is huge value in used builds and giving them a second life. I would watch it even though I still watch all of your content.

You have to make this into a series bro

you honestly dont need the antennas if your somewhat close to the router. i used a motherboard with no antennas for months and never noticed a difference with speeds or lag.

You may of gotten scammed but if your on a budget it always worth getting a used pc or even used parts.

If you do go ahead with the series you should build a test setup you can bring with you to test the parts before buying. It will save a lot of frustration and headaches trying to meet up with the seller to swap or return if they answer back.

To test on location it is possible to make a mobile test bench. So obviously it would have to be open board, and you'd have to cart around a battery backup and acdc power inverter, also some at least 1080p mobile monitor. It'd be a pain in the kiester but eh it can be done. Cool video, honestly ive had ram that won't work in one mobo but can work in another mobo. It's happened with DDR3 and 4, so one thing that happened was the xmp profile memory wasn't compatible with one amd mobo i had, I put the ram in a different amd mobo as well as an Intel based mobo and the ram did work in both other mobos. If I recall correctly, I got a GSkill sniper 2x4 1866 pair that would not work in an ASRock 970FXExtreme3 but it worked in a 990Extreme 4 and the oem i7 4790 build just fine. I ended up using a pair of Corsair in the 970Extreme 3 an the Corsair set detected at 1600 CL 9 with auto overclock on the mobo it bumped to 1800's but not quite 1866. The motherboard might not have been able to run the sniper ram, which ended up overclocking to over 2k on frequency on the 990Extreme4. Newer mobo, more current and complete support for ram etc. Anyway I find more problems with ram and motherboard's than anything else. A bump from 380 to 500 would be more reasonable and likely to sell faster. IMO

nice job on the pc pretty suprised by the specs and fps but way to go

Series name - “used to new “ you go around collecting old parts from others and turn their old recycled parts into a system that’s “ new “ to you :)

Awesome vid! Used parts series suggestions: Repurposed Builds or Second Life

Edgar pls continue this series I love it. Another good video and you were the reason I built my very first pc and helped me troubleshoot my pc so yeah thanks

You could also do a level-up series. Sell this for a profit, then that becomes your new budget for the next build. See how fancy a built you can achieve over time?

small things.. like taking a picture with a fan means a lot. thanks Techsource

The PC came really nice!

as pc guy who usually buys used pc parts from offerup this video was so relatable and entertaining. we def need a series of this no doubt bro. i also stay in l.a area and hopefully will come accross u someday.

I did this "ONCE" and totally got burned. So I commend you on your courage and faith that the items will work. This is a fun and educational video.

Loved the video idea, every time I build a pc I always go used so I can get a far better bang for my buck!

That guy selling the case seemed like a nice guy! Definitely going to check his channel out!

I've been building and repairing PCs since 1996, and I've had more good luck than bad when using used parts for cheap builds. The 36 core / 72 thread dual Xeon rig I recently built has used CPUs and used RAM, and it's runs like a champ.

Awesome Video!!. definitely gave me a lot of ideas. A good name for the series could be: "Rags to Riches" or maybe "Second Hand Hound"

i like how he gets straight to the point in his vids

Yo I haven’t watched this dude in years. It’s crazy how they grow and then support is expected. No thanks or anything to all the people he met that said they watch you.

i would love to see this as a series

love the concept

"Street Builds" would be a dope name for the series!!

yes I would like to see this as a series. Really enjoyed this episode

your kids are just too adorable and cute Keep up the good work!

You should have only reseated one of those 3200mhz sticks to see if even one of them booted. It could have been a fluke motherboard issue with that particular die. This is rare but it does happen. Good video. I like your content and I wish you more success and happiness in your life.

Love it, great job

the way he gave the homelss dude money we need more people like you

I'd love to see this become a series! Used Builds?
