cool channel Oz!
Love the website, good honest notes and a win-win monetization strategy
There is a local company using your thumbnails with your face to sell computers. Is there a way I can send you their ads?
bro.. why didn't you go for an M.2 ssd.. you can get them for around 15 dollars these day's?!
Almost bought that card last week.. now I found a 1050 2gb in a dumpster. lol
Could you make a video on what parts you'd get in order to upgrade the older pcs you've made like the last $500 pc you made a month ago?
I feel like this "new" 3050 is created to catch clueless buyers. In your build, it makes sense though. Great video again! Greetz from Germany!
Definitely. Your average Joe would just assume the 3050 6GB has less VRAM than the 3050 8GB while otherwise being the same, when that isn't remotely the case upon further investigation.
@@XxGorillaGodxX fax
it is there to cover the no power cable required market
the name us the problem, should be 3040, not 3050, fortunately most call it 3050 6 gbs
Every buyer is clueless unless they research.
the 6gb 3050 was created for the old office pc with sff case and/or the low powered proprietary psu, which those pc won't work/fit for other better value gpu like GTX 1660 series, RX 6000 series, RTX 3060 and even RTX 3050 8GB version
I bought a OptiPlex with 16gb ram and a i7 6700 for $50 then found a gtx 1050 for $20 and boom a decent gaming pc then about 1 month later I found a gtx 1060 6gb for $20 upgraded and now I'm happy with a $80 build that would have costed well over 250 from eBay
Nice
My first rig was exactly that. I eventually upgraded the cooler, psu and a rtx 2070.
After I built my new system, I put the 1060 back in and sold it for $400. The dude was super excited to have a Opti Sleeper
Id add some rgb sell it for 275 and just keep upgrading
I think I have $55 into mines I have a 1050 TI and my CPU is a 9500 until I-5
i7 6700 for $50 u guys r so lucky 😭😭
Getting an intel 8th gen w 16gb of ram prebuilt for 100 bucks is a pretty crazy deal in itself.
I watch Ebay for these machines on occasion. That was a pretty great deal to begin with, but 8th gen is showing up more than it use too!
For real ! When he told its capable of holding a 9th gen cpu, i just looked at my pc and back to this one again.. 😂
The crazy part of it is -- the seller said that the system was unavailable, so I ordered a PC from eBay. The day after, the seller hit me up saying that it fell through! So awesome
You always make the chillest PC build videos...keep up the good work bro!
Thanks!
@@OzTalksHW Were these temps with the side panel on or off? I am planning to copy this build, but have a slight worry about there being no case exhaust fan and no extra fan headers on the motherboard...
It's awesome that Oz showcases the RTX 3050 with respectful and realistic goals. Class act. 🏆👍
Man bro, it been years since I started watching anrld you never dissapoint. 🎉🎉🎉 Keep going strong! Im about to try this myself
Just built my PC but will keep ur guide in mind for my next upgrade, thank you and keep up the good work🙏
Your videos are so stunningly minimalistic. Love them. Begore going to bed if i watch your video its pretty chilling and relaxing seriously. Make em moreee
Gracias :) that's what I'm shooting for!
Bro your videos have great chill music I love that you make videos of how even with a low budget you can get pretty decent performance. YOU just earned a subscriber.
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work, Oz.
Such a pleasantly chill vibe for a build video. Noice. 👍
yayyyyy another video to sleep on your videos are so calming
Oz, love your videos. Very relaxing to watch.
I did similar to this 4 years ago. 2x 20$ dell office machines to which I plugged in 2x 1060gt's for my kids. So far it has provide years of Roblox entertainment. This type of thing in my opinion is the sweet spot of budget gaming.
Perfect use case! They work so well as hand-me-down PCs.
I love how they added 2 fans for the "gaming look" even though 1 would have covered the heatsink much better.
I love watching you content ever since the lock-down days and the unfortunate GPU price hike
thanks awesome presentation like to keep the office hardware a bit more updated the vintage builds are a nice product to tweak
looking to build my first pc soon so im def going to run over to your website. thanks again for the videos.
Just found out your channel. Your videos are so wholesome and informative. Got yourself a new sub 😊
You have a new fan man,love ur mood🤝
Man I love your videos, they help a lot especially for someone like me who is on a budget
You are the budget build king. Appreciate you my friend. 👍👍
Just wanted to say thank you for making pc building so accessible your videos are always incredibly informative and understandable to even a novice like my self
Thanks so much! I'm glad it helps
@@OzTalksHWno one is talking about that penguin doing a kanye west
The way you frame your shots are so satisfying and really aids your storytelling. Also are you using a mod mic? Your audio sounds hella crisp!
The new 3050 having some 6 pinless models is low key a game changer. Probably should've had a different model number but I love getting the most out of the motherboard alone for these exact type of builds.
HOLY this is my exact build thank you for reppin this underdog
How do you like it??
@OzTalksHW it's been serving me really well, as someone who games at 1080p it runs pretty much everything I throw at it perfectly fine
Loving the website man!!
Thanks!
BRO THAT PENGUIN IS SUSPICIOUSLY NOSTALGIC
It's from a movie called happy feet I think
That's what I did back in the day, it's an awesome way to get into cheap pc gaming
Pretty impressive, good performance per dollar for the entire system.
finally.
an acctual good and useful review of the RTX 3050 in an acctual great situation.
I 100% agree with you on the 3050, it has a place. I feel until the Intel A series start turning up on the surplus market, the 3050 is going to be the best option for more modern office computers to game with. Over the last few years there have been so few low profile cards on the market that it has been tough. 1650s still sell for well over $100 in my area, especially low profile versions. I have bought some great Optiplex type systems recently for very little, a 9th Gen i5, with NVME and 8GB of ram was $80, I got a Lenovo Office minitower for $100 with a 10th Gen i7, 512GB NVME and 16GB of memory. Throwing a 3050 would give you a very powerful gaming PC for less than $300.a used A380 would put it at as little as $180.
That dell inspiron was the pc I've been using these past 3years until I decided it was time to upgrade AND build my own computer. Very nostalgic seeing it again
Not sure if I'm for the builds or for the guy. Always good times spent. Thank you!
great video man
I have that same PC I saved from going to the trash but with an 8th gen i7. Put in 16GB and added a Arc A380 and rear exhaust fan and it's a nice budget machine.
So chill!
Added benefit of the 8th Gen Intel platform is Windows 11 compatibility. I know you can "force" Win 11 installs on unsupported platforms, but for vast majority of people a budget build should be worry free on OS support for the next few years.
That penguin wildin
I have only one computer so I will not be building budget gaming PC's. However, I find the information you provide here and the format you show is really good. In fact, I can recall when the Optiplex computers were considered brand new and is what was installed for Office PC's.
Edit: When you showed Cyberpunk playing in full RTX mode with that funny music, I laughed out loud. Man, to think that 20ish fps back in the release of the original Crysis would have made us content.
Not the same prices in the UK, but damn close. You can get an Optiplex MT with 8th and 9th gen i5s for £140-170 with a 20% off code from certain sellers on ebay, 8 or 16GB of RAM and 240/256GB SSDs. Slap in a £159 RTX 3050 6GB and its a solid build already. I would just recommend more storage.
Last year I refurb'd this same model Dell. Note they DO take NVMe m.2's (it's just below the CPU there). I sorta wish the 3050 6GB was available at the time, as I ended up buying a used RTX A2000 for a bit more money, and it's stuck with the Quadro drivers which aren't quite as gamer-friendly.
I've just got a Dell Precision 3630 with i5 9500, 32GB of RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, 2x2TB HDD and a RTX 3060 12GB for 400 bucks
These prebuilt are really where the deals at
Back in 2019 I've done the same with a Optiplex 7010, i5 3570, 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD & 3TB HDD, and a GTX 1060 6GB, I had to replace the PSU by a CX650M tho, but it turned out pretty well.
I kept that machine for about 2 years
I found this same prebuilt for 15 dollars at a yard sale witha 1 tb hardrive, I upraded to an ssd and gave it to my dad, great specs for 15 dollars
Video Idea: PC build using as many used parts from friends, only unused stuff for free, as you can. The stuff they pulled out of their rig and have set on a shelf in the closet, or accumulated randomly, or oem bits like coolers when they used aftermarket. --- If someone needs a functional case, some slower or older ram, misc fans, oem coolers, etc ... Well, I have enough of that stuff sitting in boxes and bins that I'd happily give it to a friend just to clear out some space. If they saved $100 or more they might not have as fancy looking of a system but they could spend that money elsewhere for more performance. A buddy just contacted me asking when I wanted to grab the ram I let him borrow for troubleshooting. I didn't even remember he had it, haha.
I have that thinkcentre.
I upgraded the i5 to i7 and the RX6400 was the best option for the space available
5:33 that factual sentence hurt my bones, thank you xD
If you want smoother FPS, you can cap the frames to your desired monitor refresh rate.
Thank you for showing prices.
the gpu is not needed for many people - then this pc makes a lot more sense but you are right about the proprietary parts and such - can be somewhat trying to deal with but for 100 bucks with nvme - pretty great machine to do almost everything other than gaming - if you game just build an am4 box and you will have an upgrade path
In my opinion, the CPU fan should blow cold and fresh air into the radiator. Add an additional fan to the back of the case and there will be better draft inside and your temperatures will drop.
I know that gpu gets a lot of shit but I still think it’s a great card for what it is… just not for the price. If it launched at $140-$150 I think people would feel a little different about. Great video as always.
U can get really good deals in USA,in Spain is harder.
What was the name of that slightly Bossa Nova song during the testing? I really liked it
As a fellow Georgian, summer is coming!
Oh, i was just thinkin about low profile RTX might be my next choise, simply cant afford the big ones.
I have 3050 now 2 fan basic version, but eventually it will boom, used now 2/3 years warranty.
Gotta be looking for replacements all the time.
Hey Ozi, thank you for another great video on older tech. I still have my old 3rd platform, I did upgrade the i5 3470 to an i7 3770. The motherboard is an Intel DH61WW, I believe it was from some office computer, but the layout is pretty standard compared to these proprietary motherboards.
Ram is limited to 16gb at 1600mhz and has some slots for expansion. I am running a Gigabyte GTX 950 single fan card on it, but would like to upgrade that at some point if possible, and eventually into a smaller case to make it a little more compact.
I would love to see a video where you dive into even older hardware, just to show they are still capable machines, but I'm aware not for modern titles, but maybe for older games or even retro games like a emulation machine.
That being said, and know what mobo, ram, and CPU my old system runs, what GPU would you say would be perfect for it without bottlenecking anything to high heavens?
I love taking old office computers and turning them into low end gaming PC's
Had the same problem with choppiness in Fortnite. I found that setting my gpu's minimum state to the base speed while playing fixed it.
OMG how did i not see this video i almost went to sleep before i saw it now i can fall asleep to your voice talking about pc's lol
Goat is back?
Missed you dude :)
Hope gradschool is treating you well (you started it, right?)
Yep! It's a grind, but working through it. Thanks :)
@@OzTalksHW All I would say - gradschool is not meant to be a pleasant experience ... :)
You are incredible!
checkout the HP Z4 G4 or smaller Z2 models, and for cpu step up to i7 8700 6core 12 thread, stick to the cpus that have hyperthreading
Swapping out the psu for spmething a bit beefier might help. 400, 500 watt maybe
The RTX 3050 has a particular use case. There is a half height low profile version of this card. You can stick it into a SFF eliteplexcentre. The length is perfect for those builds. the rx 6400 and the a380 are no match on this card in the SFF form factor.
Personally Rocking a Lenovo M720s with an i3-8100 and 44Gb of ram, managed to get an RTX A2000 in it, and runs like a dream, except the cpu could use a slight upgrade
This card would've made a lot more sense if it priced a lot cheaper. Make it as a GTX 1650/1660 replacement and sell it for $149. Card will be discounted to $99 at some time and it will make more sense for prebuilt PC owners.
Every card makes sense at a lower price....
even a 1080ti is better
@@Ebolachickenyeah of course, prebuilt psu can handle 1080ti
i love how this pc is better than my "gaming" pc
This would make a decent video editing PC for those on a budget.
great video! I managed to pick up 4 of these 8 months ago for $35 a pop. you can get a PSU adapter for 10-15 from Moddiy if you catch a sale. Other than the name value of the 3050 I think its a better option. Can we get a follow up with a 6600xt or similar?
I'ma guess the circumstance. You find an office PC in the hallway at work or on the corner that is free. And has a big enough case and six cores.
Cheeky little exhaust fan would have probably dropped the temps a little!
Interesting... you mentioned the 4th Gen Optiplex, and this looks to use the same power supply. That means the XE2 365 watt power supply might work in this system and it has a 6-pin PCIe power connection. What an interesting little system for a entry level build, with a decent CPU, and some upgrade path and should destroy the 4790. The is pretty awesome! However, I don't agree about the i7 9700 as it can still hold it's own against the R5 5600. Granted, that 5600 can be upgraded to an X 3D part and leave it in the dust.
I put a 4070 in a Dell Optiplex 9010 just for fun. I did not make a video about it, because it did not perform as well as I might have expected.
im curious, why are you using fsr on the rasterized tests when it can use DLSS?
I would recommend new thermal compound on the CPU, just because the machine isn't new. Won't hurt.
to think that the og 3050 is a lot faster than this version and you can get it for less is incredible
Do you have any other benchmarks? I'm thinking of buying an optiplex with i5-8400 and using same GPU
I have a similar PC but I'm running an i5 6400 with an upgrade path to only up to an i7 7700 and it uses ddr3 ram.
i have an hp Elite 8300 SFF and i want to upgrade with a rx 560 but the probleme is the 240w is it enough to?
May i ask why you didn't use dlss in your initial testing?
Does Fsr 2.1 work better when RTX is off or something?
Mixing a CPU with PCI-E Gen3 lanes with a GPU with PCI-E Gen4 lanes will always result in a bottleneck... still can't understand why people keep on doing this and then complain about the low FPS in gaming...
the Optiplex will never die
With the penguin I was half expecting you to do a Linux installation.
so about my pc in performance for $300 seems like a pretty good deal, though i have the i5 8500 and a 1660 super. definitely a more than capable gaming machine :)
We need more of these case sizes in the custom landscape. I'm tired of seeing huge Micro ATX cases that actually require expensive Mini ITX components to work. I know graphic cards have gotten huge, but the reason people opt for smaller form factors is to actually get something compact, not to purchase pricey components. Anyways, rant over 😂
I have both 3050's in ASUS dual fan guise. The 6gb I have paired with a Ryzen 5 1600 and it works very well. However, what I did notice is the sound coming from the card. It's louder than the 8gb, to the point that I've used MSI Afterburner to reduce the fan speed from 68% to 30-40%. Did you notice any loud noise from this card? Maybe mine is defective.
Nice video sir.. Hope you make more and more video..(by the way you look like Draymond Green) Stay safe sir.
I feel like this man took the last pc i saw on ebay
Of course it works
the only time the 3050 actually makes sense.
When will we see another OzBox?
I wonder if a i9 9900k would fit into that slot and motherboard, that would be enough for a rtx 4070 and keep this alive for at least 5 more years
yeah idk why he said the 9700 was the best it could upgrade to lol
psu and vrm will be a no no.
I have a feeling that the cpu would be cooler if the fan was not backwards
You can't even play in RT Overdrive on a 4070, but I like your moxie, lol.
Once a time I bought a Radeon 7970 and the damn Hewlett Packard desktop chassis wouldn't fit... I distroyed the chassis and problem solved.
nostalgic penguin
Really bad lag with pretty much all the games you tested, I'd only use it for other tasks unrelated to gaming tbh
