I Bought a "NEW" Prebuilt Gaming PC on Amazon For $500.......

- Опубліковано 8 лют 2022
- It’s been 2 years since I built my last PC, what a bummer. Honestly I do not see myself being able to build a new one anytime soon. However the other day i was thinking about how good we had it around 2020. That got me wondering what 500 bucks can get you in 2022 vs 2020. In 2020 a $500.00 budget could get you a respectable entry level gaming PC, in 2022 it can’t. I went to Amazon.com and purchased the first Gaming PC I could find that was under 500 dollars, let’s have a look.

Hello guys,
Please notice that ViprTech uses our pc case and the original box, we have some customers who have some bad experiences with them and there is not any relationship and partnership between us!
After watching your video, we finally know how this happened.....
It will be nice if you could help us clarify the truth.
Montech Team
9:30 "I do like the case." 😄
@@heathconnett6387 Thank you :)
The case looks nice and the tech is junk but the case looks quality tbh if I was doing a custom build I would love to get one of your cases it looks pretty customizable and also seems to have alot of room for like a water cooling setup even but I'm honestly glad that you reached out to clean your name hope all goes well in the future and if it had basic capability it wouldn't be half bad. Tbh with today's tech I think our phones out perform this PC at its best
@@jake-bw7rw Thank you for the kind words you have left, it means a lot for all of us, we hope one day you could have our pc case and enjoy it!
@@Montech_HQ Hey, I actually have the same case shown in the video (except mine is in white), and I love it!
...we won't talk about the fact that it doesn't have anything in it because I only have like $30 but it'll be in use in the coming months! Lol
The big pink one is a parallel port. Commonly used for old printers. I haven't seen a printer with a parallel port in years.
Still see them in warehouse, manufacturers or old style unable to update bureaucracy place. So yeah shady place
I don't know if it's the same, but we use rs232 in our machine shop still. It was a cutting edge shop in the 90's
Parallel ports can be used for anything, not just sending prints to old printers. We used to link up PCs together over the parallel port and play Doom/Duke3D/Quake. IIRC you had to run Hyperlink which was a Windows utility for treating serial/parallel port connections as communications ports with other computers. We had a whole little LAN setup over parallel ports and you could surf the network just as you can on a LAN today, using the Windows Network browser.
@@CharlesVanNoland yeah, at speeds similar to a 56k modem...
My dad had an old ibm Thinkpad which had an infared network connection. I remember when we upgraded to a 10/100 network setup with BNC connectors.... Few years after that, we got our first wifi card, a pcmia type "a" wireless setup.
I ran wireless network bridge from upstairs to downstairs and ran a small network off an old switch we got at a thrift shop. We also got a second land line, so we could occasionally run two separate 56k modems at a time. That was good enough for dial up red alert.
Not too long after that, they ran coax cable through our area, and we went from 6kbps to 1mbps. I remember downloading a video for the first time, and it didn't take 2 weeks for a music video.
I burned a bunch of cd's full of music videos and showed them all to my friends. Half their computers couldn't play them without lowering the resolution and colors so it didn't stutter.
The good music videos were mostly black and white with occasional splashes of color to not overload the processor and cause it to stutter.
Those were the days. Now I have a 950mbps download speed because I can't be bothered to spend the extra for 2.5gbps lan.
Righttt my jaw hit the desk when i saw it
I was pretty disappointed when my eight-year-old main PC died in mid 2020 because I had been intending to wait for the Nvidia 3000 series before upgrading, but given what's happened since, I'm kind of glad it forced me to upgrade sooner. I definitely got a lot better value for my money that way. I'm hoping I can keep this machine running for as long if not longer than that one!
What's your current system running?
i9-9900KF and a 2080 Super with 32GB memory and an absolute boatload of storage for work. If I was to try buy that same system now, the prices would barely have changed even though the parts came out close to four years ago.
@@Jokrono I bought a prebuild for 800 with a rtx 3050. 500gb nvme 10040f. Brand new
exact same thing happened to me, my old 2013 GPU died in 2020, so I bought a 1660 super.
Blessing in disguise
@@ori1721 damn son, my 2012 build still works like brand new ! has a intel 3450 and a gtx 670 ,not a single thing broke , its now my secondary Pc in my gym room for idling at old games and playing music and videos ,maybe PCs break faster in high humid countries , im in UK
I think the seller on amazon is taking a "Montech" case with RGB fans, and putting old components that he is recycling from upgrades \ refresh cycles to make a quick buck.
ya, i agree. that stuff is way too dirty to be new out of the box.
G'day Paul, Yeah the seller just seems to be buying $50-$100 old Office PCs & migrating them to the Montech Case & for about the $400 Mark up is to lazy to even bother giving any of the parts a clean, that is just disgraceful
No thinking involved!
This is exactly what's happening!!!
I build up pc with old spares just when I'm bored at work.
And I've sold a few to people who've bought these cheap machines and they are blown away that I sold them something better faster for much less than the crud they bought off Amazon or eBay.
The worst part of it is getting GPUs ATM.
@@TheWebstaff just buy prebuilds for a good new GPU ,i did ,got a RTX 3050 build for 800 last week
The board may be new, but it's likely that is recycled out of an old office PC, or out of old industrial equipment. Honestly, I am all for this. As long as there is honesty in the transaction and the seller is not selling you something they claim as new. Means less went to a landfill.
I just bought a whole welder setup for $500. It absolutely crushes the 3090 in watts per dollar.
how many watts is your welder setup? it might get beaten out by the (alarmingly) cheap 30-dollar, 1500 watt space heater i found on amazon
@@curatedmemes9406 i smell Technology Connections 🤣
@@karigori6415 you are absolutely right on the money my good sir
A welder could use a generator or plug into a higher wattage outlet, so it's conceivable that a welder could approach 10kW. Of course 10kW/$500 is still possibly more than your rate if you found a cheap enough heater though.
Hey man I just wanted to say thank you for being one of the most consistent and and entertaining Tech UA-camrs around today! In a world with Linus, Jay, Paul, Gamers Nexus and all the others its challenging to make content that can stand out in the tech space and you are my favorite recent sub!
Long live the fan showdown!
I appreciate that!
@@MajorHardware So, in USD my blackfriday self-built PC would have come to about... $650, and you(anyone building the same pc) are getting a lot more for that. But had I built My PC the year before I would have been able to get a decent graphics card. So the other parts are a year newer, but the lack of gpu is ...a lack of graphics, so it's kinda, just, pu.
i remember when it all started to go through the roof fast with the leaking corsair waterblock and mentions at jayztwocents and GN. after that came the fan showdown and that is the best thing that happenend in a long time in youtube space. genuinely entertaining. came for leaking hydroseries, stayed for watercooled aircooler and enjoyed since. very much so.
That no ordinary hard drive, it's a solid-state hybrid drive! It's got a few gigs worth of SSD to cache just enough of any files used regularly enough to fill in the latency gap between the read request and the drive head seeking to the right position. They were a really good idea for about 15 minutes back when SSDs were still either silly-expensive or pathetically small.
This reminds me of the time in mid 2020 when one of my friends was getting a pc. He had a budget of around £700 so made him a parts list with something like a 2060/1660 Super and a 3600/10400F. I'd asked him if he wanted RGB and he said as long as it didn't affect performance so he only had a little rgb in this build. He asked why he wasn't getting an i7 so I explained that the gpu was the most important component and all that. I even linked a few prebuilts with a similar hardware config in case he didn't want to build his own. Then a couple days later I get a message from him saying he'd ordered a pc with an i7 and loads of RBG for £700. It was a 2600k and a 1050 Ti. It didn't even take the chip shortage to get this bad, it only needed someone who refused to listen and do his own research.
@@mikeycrackson yeah, another one of my friends has just built his pc with a 12600kf and a 3060 Ti, I recommended all the parts and he got a great deal on the gpu
How do you go about getting the parts at cost? Do you simply make a part list and then order them all from different sources?
@@JenkoRun yep, I’d recommend PCPartPicker, you can also filter by any retailers you don’t want to use
ah. the old trick of sticking used parts into a new case.
would have been a better 2020 to 2022 comparison if you built a 2022 pc with new parts available now... not with a cash grab special prebuilt
All that would do would be highlighting the ridiculous price gouging that's been going on since early 2021. How much difference would it show if he had used a 1080(for example) bought for the reasonable price of $250 two years ago vs paying $380 now? Both being technically brand new prices but old hardware. The idea was for a budget friendly or entry level pc back then vs the exact same now. Which the price has gone up higher than camel pussy.
@@Jes9119 and so using a computer stuffed with 2011 parts is a better comparison? It is still definitely possible to build a new PC using more current parts for $500. You may have to get a Ryzen APU and skip out on a GPU. Since the 2020 system he compared it to wasn't a prebuilt, why would you compare to a prebuilt? Prebuilts always cost more
@Zachary Welvaert if you're building a pc for pretty much any capacity except as an office workstation for emails and Microsoft office you can't really skip out on a gpu. So yeah, it is a better comparison. Pre-builts are a waste of money, I will concede that. I came out better for less with the pc I got a few years ago and it was a refurb with a gpu.
@@Jes9119 You underestimate just how outdated the gtx650 is, it was a low-midrange card when it came out 10 years ago. I'd bet even the integrated GPU in a 5600G would beat it somewhat. The 650 doesn't even have driver support to run modern games. This prebuilt is a pure scam. Sure, you won't be getting an amazing GPU, but you could build a similarly priced PC with modern components and get basically a 3x faster CPU, 16GB of ram and a decent SSD to go along with it.
@@tiarkrezar Yes he either missed or glossed over it but its DDR3 ram as well. Hes basically paying nearly the retail price for the components now if not more then what they were in 2012 since the 650 was only $100 msrp roughly and the i5 was $180. So id be inclined to agree since I'm sure you could do better and itd be hard to do a lot worse.
Whatever you are doing continue doing it...you look much better and healthier
Thanks man! Great vid
I'm so glad I got an Alienware pre-built during Dell's last sale in March 2021. 5800x, 6800xt, 1000w power supply, 16GB DDR4 3200mhz, and 1tb Nvme for $1977. Checked out the same specs and it cost over $2500 now.
The harddrive installed were SSHD. Its suppose to be a hybrid between regular HDD and SSD. Speed of SSD (transfer speed still can't beat SATA SSD) with the storage of an HDD. The price were much more expensive than HDD and SSD. might as well get an regular HDD and SATA SSD and call it a day.
They are supposed to be cheaper.
Guess the SSD tech has catch-up in price.
The Barracuda serie from Seagate.
I had one, the ssd part was 4go. Windows booting up was very high, so the ssd was quickly full so the hdd was constantly swapping with the ssd. No big real davantage. Now it's in an external box and works ok-ish
Love the “why does he keep doing that” made my day
This makes me so happy I got the best I could afford the last time I purchased a PC. It's starting to show it's age now, but hopefully it's still got a couple good years left in it at this point.
8:40 parallel port. The original way printers said hello to your PC. I'm old school..so old school, the first expansion slots I dealt with were VESA local bus. And I was so excited when pci ports were introduced. Lol
My monster gaming laptop just died from blue screen. I've had it for almost 8 years now and I knew that time was coming where I had to fork up some money to get a filler in before investing into another behemoth that will last another decade. This looks like it'll hold me for 2-3 years which is plenty. It's probably going to perform waaay better than it just because it's current on everything and because it's a desktop vs laptop.
That pink port is a serial port. Back in the day, that is where you would plug your printer into. Now, in 2020, I bought a Cyberpower PC for about $500, Ryzen 3 2300, 8gb ram 2166 mhz (single stick), and RX470 graphics card. I have upgraded to a Ryzen 5 2600x and 16gb 3200 mhz ram. Still for under $1,000 total.
"Spinning steel", that's a good description
For a little over $600, you could get a refurbished optiplex 9020 with an i7, 16gb ram and 1tb hard drive, then pop in a gtx 1080. Which is wild considering I did something similar to this back in 2020 and got out for a total less than the current cost of a 1080.
This isn't going to run Crysis or whatever is currently pulling more than 6gb of Vram but if you want max settings for stuff like Warframe, Destiny 2, Horizon Zero Dawn(i cant run at max but thats on me for being dumb) or Second Extinction, you could easily achieve this. Most games I've played recently don't require more than 4gb of Vram(which is what i currently have in my optiplex 9010 sff i7 8gb ram and gtx 1050 ti lp) so this was my upgrade plan. Buy a standard case size to fit normal GPUs but here we are.
what a waste of a 1080. Stop spreading misinformation
That'd definitely run crysis, lol
Crysis? My AMD FX-6100 (bulldozer crap) + GTX 650 runs Crysis, what are you talking about.
@@Poluact damn a 8800GT runs crysis from 2008 and that was a 150 card
^above replies are evidence of the type of people who care more about how a game looks than actual gameplay. Also evidence of the type of people who are elitist dickheads that can't understand the use of hyperbole in using the original Crysis system requirements as a go to meme for a hardware benchmark. But apparently people don't seem to want to pull the stick out of their ass and see that I honestly couldn't be bothered to mention a recent title that does pull more than a single 1080s amount of power. Not even taking into consideration that three of the games I did mention can easily achieve max settings on less than 6gb of Vram since my whole point was to point out that you can still get an affordable-ish GPU that won't need to be upgraded for at least another few years, this combined with the fact that I even said I can achieve max settings on my 1050 Ti that has 4gb of Vram for those same games. The only reason I didn't mention the 1050 Ti in the first paragraph was because even I'm going to need to upgrade this within the next year or two. SO WHY THE HELL WOULD I EVEN RECOMMEND IT? WHEN MY POINT WAS TO GET SOMETHING THAT WON'T NEED TO BE UPGRADED FOR A FEW YEARS LONGER AND THE ENTIRE POINT OF COMMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS TO SHOW YOU DON'T NEED A 10YR OLD PRE-BUILT THAT COSTS AS MUCH AS WHAT I RECOMMENDED.
Sweet jesus pc snobs really are the worst types of people.
the CASE is Montech, Steve tested a couple recently and gave that one decent marks for the price point for the bare box
I bought by first pc last weekend. Went all out with a 3080 and a 5950x! Been watching your videos and thinking about building one of my own and I finally made it happen!
Seems you went by the slogan "just stop being poor".
@@adoksym no. *now* I’m poor
I found literally ever exact part for this system and all with shipping can be bought other than windows 10 for $285 USD, I sold a system recently for $400 with an i7 3770k 16gb of ram and a gtx 970.
“We’re lucky we got a box at all” 2022
At least they were honest.
But we all know a used $100 business computer, with a $100 GTX 1050 will do better.
But you wont get a 1050 for 100$
At least here they go for 400€😅😅
I just revisited the water cooled air cooler videos and I was wondering if you could try a water cooled water cooler?
SK Hynix is usually an OEM brand. They have been making memory modules about as long as people have been building PCs. Their modules are found in other companies' RAM.
That's a mobo pulled straight out of a Dell Optiplex, so it's an OEM part, hence the green. That case is a Montech brand case, I just built into a Montech case last week.
"Oh No Our Free Valued Part" haahah had me laughing dude.
The computer I built Beat LTT 2019 holiday built for around 900 bucks with a 5700/5700XT 32 gigs of ram on a X570MB. That same build will cost over 2000 dollars. I've SAVED money by not buying into Ngreedia 3000 series.
2 years later, with that savings I upgraded from a Ryzen 5600 to a Ryzen 5900OEM, 64GB of PC 4000 DDR 4 Ram, PLUS a WD SN850 1TB HD that is on a MSI X570 A-Pro MB.
You got your 3000 series boat anchor of expense that also becomes a space heater. I got a complete video editing work station/can play games AT UNDER 310 WATTS running those programs/games.
And the remaining parts went into my back up system.
Darkflash is actually a semi-decent fan manufacturer. I have a set of fans iv had for like 3-4 years that's RGB from darkflash and they work no issue.
I built my latest pc in May of 2020 and so thankful I did. Got a 2060S for 450, now they're all 800ish
Im glad I built my threadripper system in 2019. It will hold me over a long time.
I do this for friends, they will have an old Dell or HP, but they don't want to pay for all of the new parts, so I upgrade the ram, HDD, gpu, and sometimes the case. Boot times go from 30 minutes to 30 seconds, they can surf the web, and play videos, they are happy, and it usually costs less than $250 for 3X-10X performance.
So young.
It's only in recent (10 or so) years that almost all PSUs have a switch.
Back in the day only high end PSUs had an external switch.
The connection which you didn't recognize is a prallel ATA connection.
I spent around $3k when building my threadripper II setup a few years ago. I'd hate to see what that same PC would run me now.
do you have any hope for the new intel cards? curious to hear your input on that
I was crazy lucky getting my prebuilt when I did (early 2020). $800 got me a 1660 super, 3600, 16GB 3000MHz, 500GB SSD. Making deals and trades over the past two years I am now rocking a x570 with 5800x, 3060ti, 64GB 3600MHz, and like 12TB of storage lol. I do content creation for work.
That color shift around 1:04 made me think I was tripping/losing my mind,
all day today I've been trying to get my color saturation where I like it on my TV lol.
The second I saw that white PCI slot on the motherboard, I knew you got screwed. Thats a $50 surplused work PC from 2012 transplanted into a new case.
this reminds me of the pc that i built in 2007. i thought i was the king shit back then. i fricken payed far it too, that shit was cutting edge 15 years ago.
we have the same keyboard, btw. what a beast, it just wont die. mines like 14 years old and i've completely worn the black coating off from the wasd keys, crtl, shift, q, and e are looking pretty thin as well.
Thanks for reminding me how old my system is… I7-3770K with a GTX780 and 16gb DDR3 1600mhz. I’m planning on upgrading when the RTX 4000 series cards are available for pre-order. Want to add a racing sim setup to the gaming corner so hence the wait on a new gen GPU as I’m hoping pre-order prices to be a little more reasonable…
I don't game, stream, or do anything remotely burdensome on my computers, but my Lenovo laptop from 2018 wasn't cutting it anymore (let's just say a "simple" Excel spreadsheet was lagging). So I ended dropping $1000 on a tower and two 27" monitors from Dell and I am rather pleased with what I got. I work in payroll & accounting and sometimes work from home. So, the most taxing thing I do is log in to web meetings. It works beautifully for what I need. This piece of junk you got was hilarious to watch. It looked as laggy as MS Flight Simulator 2000
"* knock knock * Excuse me sir, have you heard of our savior, the Tesla M40" lol
Always great to see a new video. That PC is terrifying. "whats going to catch on fire first". Kill it with fire before it does the same to you.
Love to see you do more builds involving 3d printing when supply and prices allow.
The punk connector is a parallel connector. I believe that's what printers used to use. Also, I love that you put KSP on it!
also joysticks before serial was a thing. And the 'old school keyboard and mouse ' connectors are ps2
I have PC from 2013 and it still works rather well and runs all games I want to run on it after I bought a graphics card upgrade about halfway through. Though the fact that I'm not picky about games, graphics quality or FPS plays role too. But honestly, there's no chance expecting anything good for amount equivalent to $500 in my country, my PC was medium tier office (not even gaming) PC back in 2013 and cost more than twice that.
Hey, the tempered glass side panel was intact. You can't complain about the shipping at least
Ok, that's worse than my own built pc from 2015 with a 750ti which was also roughly 500 bucks back then. I wanted to upgrade around the time the 3000 series came out but damn, it became distant dream for my retirement. How the hell did we end up getting such a bad value for our money, I know the reasons with the shortage and all but this is ridiculous.
Did the PC include a power cable? Any accessories?
Vipertech is the system intergrator and Montech is the case maker.
If it wasn't for you to be in the thumbnail, I would've thought it was a JayzTwoCents video😂
It took me seven minutes to realize there's a parallel port (the long pink connector you didn't know) on the board... that was... a very long time ago.
4:47
Ooooh "printer port" this gonna be good xd.
That hard drive is actually pretty cool it's an SSHD and it said 8G so it's a spinning hard drive with an 8GB SSD as cache. Very slightly faster overall than a regular old drive with 64MB cache. I wonder if it was chosen for the speed boost (an odd choice) or just grabbed off a stack of used parts like the rest of this PC seems to be. It's neat transition-era tech though, everyone just kind of forgot about them when SSDs got cheap.
Those hybrid disks were crap. The SSD "cache" was too small to be useful, and they were paired with 5400 rpm drives. A normal 7200 drive would do laps around it.
source: I had a laptop from that time period with such a drive
I really appreciate a video like this from your prospective. Every working graphics card on the market is more useful making money not gaming lol! Says alot!
My first pc was a hp omen obelisk with a i7 8700 and a gtx 1050. It corrupted its own bios during update. Now I have rebuilt it with the same i7 8700 and a gtx 1070ti. It’s been used for so long now that the Corsair fans are failing.
Oh. And I’m still using the hp power supply that was in the omen obelisk. Still works great.
This makes me so happy I got the best I could afford the last time I purchased a PC.
8:25 Wow, you just made me feel REALLY old.... It's called LPT (line printing terminal) and back in the day it was used to connect printers. The old timey keyboard and mouse connector is called PS/2 (from IBMs personal system 2).
Hello would you recommend this for P.C just for streaming? I’m trying to find a cheap one?
8:25 I'm "only" 25 years old and those connectors don't look out of place for me, the big one is a parallel port and the KB/M one is a PS/2... am I really that old?
Also, Montech is the case maker, ViprTech the group of friends that put toghether that home burner.
Nah, you’re not (I’m 13yrs older than you). It’s just nobody uses those ports anymore, so I don’t blame him for not knowing. I can’t say I’ve used one of those massive parallel ports since probably the 90’s in the DOS and Win9x days (not that PCs didn’t come with those ports for some time afterward).
the pink connector is a serial out, it was used for printers and joysticks a looooong time ago
I build my GF a $500 gaming pc in a mini case mini itx with a r5 5600g and it absolutely blows that pc out of the water performance wise. You basically paid someone $500 to recycle their 11year old ewaste. Entertaining and hopefully it helps educate some people looking for a $500 pc now what not to doo
The large connector on the motherboard is an old school printer (parallel) port.
I think i got mine just before things got really bad. Ryzen 3600, RTX 2060 super, B450 Mortar, 16GB 3200, Samsung 980 1TB and Case for 900$ in Jan 2021. Now the GPU alone sells for 900$
Ive had my pc for years atleast, so it makes sense my system is old. though we bought it for 500 bucks before covid. A sabertooth z77 mobo, nzxt (old school silent case), i7 2700k, rx 580 and 1000watt psu. while the psu and rx580 happend after buying it, i still feel i got a better deal back then :D
That looks like a DB-25 connector aka parallel port. We used to use that connector for devices such as printers before USB was a thing (and after if you still had your cool old LaserJet 4L laser printer that lived forever on one toner cartridge.)
Hynix is a top tier of memory IC's. SK Hynix is one of the largest memory manufactures, second only to samsung, and the third largest semiconductor manufactures. That does not mean that is who assembled the DIMM's, but Hynix chips are perfectly good and used in performance ram as well.
Im just happy that I bought a decent laptop in 2018, core i5 with gtx 1060. Purchased for less than $900, Doubled the ram for $60 and threw in a secondary hdd I had lying around.
Beginning of 2020 i bought a r3400g, b450 max board, 2x8 3200 ram, 256gb nvme and 1tb hdd. Decent fsp case and 600w power supply. Now the similar PC would cost me around $800. A price increase of $200, here in Serbia
Well you could start a retrocomputing series with this PC! Makes me feel better about my ageing laptop I use for Minecraft. At least that has 8GB and a GTX1050 :D
Imagine the best thing your new gaming pc has going for it is that it can play a phone game at 60fps lol
Last year I ended buying a Evoo Gaming Laptop 15.6" listed at 530$ with i5 10300H GTX 1650 8Ram SSD 256gb cause building a pc myself with the same spects was WAY more expensive
3:51 Maybe the re-taped box is because it was an RMA case?
I didn't expect you to not know what a parallel port is.
This is a good, well made video, expertly done. And yet, I suddenly feel the urge to get a prescription for antidepressants.
I remember in 2017-2018 sometime, $500 got me an i5, GTX 1060, and 1tb storage.
Now I have a Ryzen 5800, rtx 3060, and 1tb storage and it only cost me $1,400
the big pink one should be an old ass printer connector. Parallel port I believe.

Mate I have a whole box of dvi cables do you want some ?!😂 you can just get dvi->hdmi to use on dvi-i and dvi-d ports, if your monitors don’t have dvi but have hdmi, or if it’s dvi-i or dvi-a you could do dvi->vga, if you really had to! Yes I worked in an electronics shop and dealt with this shit all day every day 😊
60 FPS when processing a still image in polybridge. Nice!
Love how my PC was cheaper and would smash that thing in all categories. Ryzen 5 2600, 16gb ram, nvme ssd and rx 590 combined with AOC G2460V monitor. I run all games flawless in 1080p at monitors fps cap of 75hz. :)
And a budget upgrade for this. Like under 1k or maybe test what high dollar part would be the best upgrade
A newer system entirely this weas already a ripoff and putting more into it would just be a waste of money
Probably better off getting used HP/Dell business PC and adding a 75W GPU (GTX 1650) for example. Like a Dell Optiplex XE3 or something....it even has USB-Type C. Would absolutely cream this PC. No comparison haha.
The GPU would just run off of PCIE power - no PSU upgrades required. It's what I did when I was first looking for a PC during the crazy shortages. Surprisingly capable machine tbh. Available for a good bit under $500 as well.
I got the $589 Walmart one (online). It has an i7 4770 which makes a terrible bottleneck with the rtx 2060 nvidia (probably used for crypto mining). A DDR3 motherboard and RAM as well (we are in 2023). RGB it’s the less important thing here and they focused on it. I returned it, then I spent a little bit more ($800) for an i5 12400 with an rtx3050, DDR4 (Z series msi) motherboard with 16Gb RAM, 1TB sdd and a 750W PSU. If you you just want to save money, you better get a different one. IF YOUR BUDGET is $500 or less they have cheaper ones, it will be a good deal for budget ($300-$400), but don’t spend more than $500 with them, if you don’t have 800 but have 500, just be patient and save some money, won’t regret.
You need about 1200 CAD to start getting good PCs. That's just how it is.
But that case isn't bad. If Montech can remove the giant ugly local and just give a small case badge, it's a pretty solid option.
11:10 -ish "Dont touch me, human!"
I knew it was bad the second i saw the parallel port on the motherboad! lol
That pink thing is the bubblegum port!
I am at 5.30 and we just heard "there's two sticks of RAM". You tell us that the one you extracted, as a visual check, is 4 gig.
ALL I CAN THINK IS - I bet the second baby is a placeholder part, like those they provide for the aesthetically minded.
well its ddr3 so its pretty cheap and gotta try and fill in the all the boxes to polish up the turd as much as possible
I built my PC in 2020 in early september for 480 euro. 1650 super OC; Ryzen 3 3100; 16gb 3000mhz RAM; 500gb kingston SSD; 500 watt PSU 80 plus and an ASrock Mobo. Now the GPU alone would cost that.
2017 I used to sell ex-business PC's as a "hobby" which I turned in to cheapo gaming PC's by adding a GPU, maybe memory and SSD. Some Micro Towers and some we're even SFF size with Lop Profile GPU's. Even the ones with i5-3470+ NEW GTX1050 I sold for less than 500 "dollars" if converted. I mean, that was a while ago and better than the piece of shit in the video. Sold dozens of them, never got one complaint. But I never oversold anything, even told them that the SFF PC's GPU might overheat in the summer and you might need to open the case to play :) ..but yeaaaa, that was 2017. GG 2022.
I was and am pretty happy with the $1000 pre-built I bought at the end of last year. Ryzen 7 5700g, rtx 3060, 16gb of ram and a 256 ssd with a 1tb hdd. Not the greatest in comparison to what that could get you previously, but it plays Forza Horizon 5 at max graphics.
justkeep an eye out for a closeout 5800x3d, run it with 3600 ddr for the 1:1 cpu / infinity fabrick clock, and you'll see quite a jump in gaming, best am4 got, even beats 7850x3d in much of gaming especially high fps.
@conandude76 actually just picked up a new MOBO and 5800x3d thanks to prime days. Just waiting to get a new aio cooler for it before I get it all installed.
Dude, if the Steam Deck outperforms this (I bet it would), that would just be hilarious.
It will forsure murder this it can play Control and Forza lol
that gpu looked very familiar at first, i have a gtx 650 in a NAS that im building
Daaaym. That graphics card is even worse than my old one. I had a GTX 650 Ti in my old PC that ran an i7 920 and triple channel DDR3 ram.
According to review data from techpowerup my over clocked Ti version had twice the performance of the vanilla 650.
That PC originally had a GTS 250, but I "upgraded" it maybe 8 years back. Had it from 2009 til end of 2020.
That people connector is a Serial or Parallel port.
I like how the Fan of GPU is molex powered. 😂
That long port is called a Paraelle Port. I mean... I havn't touch ANYTHING since the 90's that used a paraelle port (I was like 15yr in 2000). I"M NOT THAT OLD YET!
wow
I got the exact same CPU, GPU, amount of RAM in my personal pc
perhaps i bought all of the hardware separately for around 180€ in 2018...
What a change in price lol
