@Max Pain I didn't have to beg them. hahaha They know me over there cause I bring business over. I know that girl personally. She's my friend. I suggested bringing these cards fully expecting to pay the $850 TWD each which is a good enough bargain. She suggested that they could fix it for free cause of the warranty. We were just like, ...sweet! Let's do this. Gigabyte's people are easy to deal with as long as you're nice and personable.
I paid £260 for a 1060 6gb a year or so ago at cex, took it to claim warranty and they give you what you paid back, just my luck the store had a 1070 armor oc (msi) for 230 so I got my self a free upgrade
I paid less than 200 from my 1070 mini on ebay due to bidding. If you guys are into bidding I highly reccomend you guys check it out. I paid 196 total for the gigabyte gtx 1070 mini which came in it's original box and looks like it was barely used and taken care of good. I saw no dust at all or scratches on it.
I recently started looking for deals around my area, and over the months I have found some really good deals. I have an i7 4770, 20gb of DDR3 ram, and GTX 1070 in my system and it is a wonder to play on. I got all of this for 300 dollars, so I'm pretty happy with my rig at the moment. Love your videos, keep up the great work!
The i7 4770 and 4790 are some of my favorite cpus and have become my bread and butter for used builds. They pair wonderfully with gtx 1060s 970s or rx 570, 580s.
I have a i5-4690k at the moment and that pairs brilliantly with a GTX 970. In Assassin's Creed Odyssey's benchmark both the CPU and GPU are being used fairly evenly, showing that neither is bottlenecking the other and they are both reaching their full potential. My go to used CPU for builds at the moment is the i5-4460. These are going for really good prices around me as many people pass them over because they aren't overclockable. I sold a system with the i5-4460 and a GTX 1060 3GB a short while ago and it was a great performer putting out fantastic FPS at competitive settings in esports titles, Fortnite especially is selling PCs for me at the moment. In the above mentioned Odyssey at the medium preset it was averaging around 45fps and likely could have reached a 60fps average if I'd tinkered with the settings.
I've been running a 4790k at 4.8ghz and a gtx970 since 2015 and it's only just starting to show it's age. Looking at building a new system by the end of the year and retiring the old girl.
@@Burn377 That's a killer rig! I can't see any situation where it might "show its age" - unless u're creeping into 4K gaming or some other crazy ass shit!
I don't play competitive games much at all, so I love my ultra-wide. I started with a cheap 25" LG ultrawide then later found a good deal on eBay for a 34" LG ultrawide. I love how I can recline back further from the desk and still have a immersive vision-filling image.
I was rocking my 4590 for years up until recently. Paired with the rx 480 on 2560x1080 it ran everything I threw at it. I can only imagine the 4770 would be terrific frames per dollar.
First thing i would like to say is thank you for all the X58 Xeon build/overclocking videos. Because of you, i replaced the i7 950 i had in one of my rigs with a Xeon x5675 and have it running at 4.5Ghz. It scores about 1021 in Cinebench. I have 2 4GB GTX680 in sli on an ASUS P6X58D-E mobo with 12GB of ram. When the GTX 680 scale at near 100%, they perform only a tad slower than my 6GB GTX 1060. Actually in a lot of cases the GTX 1060 is only faster than the SLI setup because i have overclocked the living crap out of it. Anyway back to reason for writing in the comments. I dont game that much but when i do its on an ASUS 27' monitor. I originally use to game (still do when i get the time) on consoles so i am use to having big ass tv display in front of me. I do have a 32" LED tv that i use when on a game console.
I have a 24inch monitor, and I’m perfectly happy with the size. It’s a great size for gaming. When I upgrade my monitor(to either a 1440p 60hz or a 1080p 144hz) I’m getting another 24inch one.
love this video!! i have a 4770 and and sabertooth motherboard 16gb 2133 over clocked to 2400 with a rx 570 overclocked to 1420 and playes any game at 1080p at atlezst 60 fps no issues. going on 4 years with this cpu
Hey Mr ValueYesKing! Great build. I'd replace the back fan with a green one to match the front fans and light up the I side of the case. Good to see you're back to your old self with that excited boy energy that you have. 😜 Cheers, Mon from Brisbane.
Amazing price to performance! !! My wife plays on a 32" LG650F at 2560x1440p ,I play on a 6" MA6 IPS 450nits Camera monitor,at 1920x1080p.Both hooked up to a eVGA 2080Ti Black.
I also got an awesome deal on a used PC a few days ago :) - Asus Rampage iii Extreme - Intel Core i7 960 - Asus R9 290 - 2x4gb Corsair ddr3 2000mhz - Corsair 120mm Watercooler - 600W BeQuiet PSU - DVD Burner - Coolermaster CMStacker Case and all that for 120€ 😍 probably the best thing of this deal is the mobo because its a real beast for X58 overclocking🤗
3rd gen & 4th gen i7's are one of my favs. I still have my i7 3770 nonK on my wife's gaming computer and it's still cranking great at 1440p paired with GTX 1660.
I was also building my budget PC over the last two months. I had i5 2300 just laying around from my old PC, and I decided to put it into use. Also, I had 6GB of RAM, old XFX HD 7770 1GB, and 120GB Kingston SSD just laying around, so I decided to put something together. First thing that I managed to find is Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 motherboard on Aliexpress for around 38$, and just when I found that one, WD 500GB hard drive popped up for about 30$. Then I picked up XFX 600W power supply for about 60$, and I also upgraded my RAM from 6GB to 12GB for just about 20$. In the end, only thing that was bottlenecking me was that GPU, and just two days ago RX 570 4GB popped up for around 150$, including two free games, and I'm still waiting for that one to arrive. And yes, I also want to mention that I had monitor, mouse and keyboard left over from that old PC, so I did not need to pick up that.
You are definitely right about the 22"-24"(25") monitors, people who chooses higher dosn't realize that our eyes have a focus area, so choosing higher than 25" will have your eyes looking left right all the time, and if an enemy pops up when you look the wrong way, you loose valuable time (ms) to counter and get that kill..
For a Monitor, half a year ago i got myself a BenQ XL2411z 144hz for 130 bucks. and its a 24´ and i had a 22 before. I really need to say, 24 is the MAX i would go. its not like i m sitting 2meters away of my screen or something, i think those 24 are almost too big but just rarely fine. But i would never go back to 60hz either. Around here locally you can grap a good used 144hz for around 100-150 depends on what model you want and i would spend those extra bucks on the panel all day. It really is what makes your entire pc shine in the end. All that stuff you render and process with your build... it all makes or breaks with your panel. i ve seen some hillarious setups recently where people tend to ignore their monitors alltogether. got a used gtx 970 recently and the guy i bought it from upgraded to a gtx 2070 to fire a cheap 20bucks 60hz panel with bad colors and overall bad image quality... like that makes no sense on so many levels.
I use 2 LG Monitors with TN Panels, they are older but still doing a good Job. I game on the 22" because my Desk is realy small and i'm realy near to the Monitor. The 2nd is a 24" and i use it to watch Tech YES City while gaming :-) I got the 22" for 20€ and the 24" for 30€ inkl. shipping, both are 1080p 60Hz, thats all i need.
I’ve played on various sized monitors and found my sweet spot was between 24” and 27”, Yes the Ultra-wides are nice but I feel sometimes they are more of a hindrance than straight up enjoyment when gaming. Don’t get me wrong though the ultra-wides are exceptional when image or video editing and do provide a great gaming experience, however the novelty does wear off quickly (in my experience). Great video and keep up the incredible TechYesExperience!
I Iove you for using an electronic air blower than compressed air! The amount of excitement i experienced shook me to my very core. Keep it up good sir!
Yeah still rocking my 24" 1080p 144hz VA panel. With a 1070... Problem with 1440p ultra wide monitors is you have to buy at least a RTX 2080 to drive it.
Recently I've got on eBay one Xeon E3-1225 Sandy Bridge for 11€, a Radeon RX570 Strix 4GB for 75€ (for my personal rig), an Asus P7P55D Socket 1156 for 13€, a little Xeon X3430 for 8€ and 2 Dell MIH61R Mobo Socket 1155 (plus a Fujitsu LGA1150 MB with the dumb 16 pin power connector) for 10€.

What a bloody steal for the cpu, board and ram. Unbelievable Brian, mind you, I got an xbox one for free yesterday, that only needs a new 5 GBP laser, and it's good for resale. On the hustle.
Here's one for ya.. traded a 150$ set of used 15 inch tires for a Dell 7810XL dual E5 2640s v3 96 gigs ram.. M5000 Quadro.. no drives. got it home insides looked like a goat farm.. blew it out.. added SSD..we be jammin!
My best bang for buck build: i5 3470 + 8GB RAM + MSI Motherboard and Win7 Pro Key on Case also a 420W BeQuiet PSU -> Free (was thrown away alongside other stuff from a lawyer who closed his business) RX480 8GB "Dataland" (ex Mining Card) on eBay: 45,03€ inkl shipping. I guess I could also have used a GTX680 4GB, GTX770 2GB or HD 7950 which I all got for 5€ each as broken, but got working flawlessly ... but I always wanted a 8GB RX480 since it was released at it's overly agressive price, having that much Vram is a blessing for HD-Texture mods.
I get the same PC.. but for 380€ ;) I7 4770s : 30€ Noctua : 35€ 16 go ddr3 : 70€ SSD 240 pny : 30€ GTX 1070 GS Phoenix : 175€ Mobo : free PSU 400w : free Q300l masterbox Case : 40€ It's my build to play StarCitizen for Cheap. 45 FPS on Ultra Graphics. Let's Rock!
I love my 24inch monitor. Back when I got into PC gaming I used a 29 inch TV and that was way too large. 24 inch is the best imo great for media and gaming.
Hey thats MY case, just paid $80 US a few months back, decent case but the worse fans I have ever seen.....My gpu too, bought mine for $200 from an ex miner over a year ago and still runs strong at 1440p no matter what game i play, all that matched with an Gigabyte Aorus Ultra X470 and an R1600 ( and the mobo and cpu and 8g of mem from same miner for $200 ), love watching you hustle and show its done to get the best value for money and not always making vids just about HEDT parts like alot of other tubers.....Great video again...
April last year I picked up a Dell XPS 8500. Has a i7 3770 and 8 mb of ram. I picked it up for $50.00 CAD. I asked the person why they where selling it. Was told that they replaced it with a Mac Book, but they really hated Window 10, lol.
I got a 27' 4K monitor few weeks ago, and for a 4K I wouldn't go with a smaller one. That being said, it does feel a bit big, and sometimes I find myself turning my head left-right to properly see what is going on the screen :P For 1080p 22' is a perfect fit imo. Has this perfect ratio of screen estate and pixel density :)
The only things I have ever brought new for my pc is the cpu cooler (hyper 212 black rgb) pc case (phanteks p350x) and some case fans (segotep rgb) but my i5 4690k and asus maximus 7 ranger was $300 nzd, my 16gb g skill ripjaws ddr3 was $150 nzd, asus strix 1080 was $650 nzd, aoc 27" 1440p 60hz was $100 nzd..... I think my cpu is the culprit for bottlenecks in games nowadays but most games still run pretty well at high settings 1440p with a 60fps target but more cores and threads wouldnt go a miss for some games no matter how high the overclock lol :) Great video man, used is always better! :D much love from NZ
Monitors, ive tried them all from FHD to 4K, 22 to 32 inch, from 60 to 144hz and few in between, the 24 inch 1080, 144hz really is the best sweet spot for gaming and general use, even professional gamers / streamers like Shroud said as much, he actually has a video / clip in which he states this, not too long ago.
I'm still really happy with the display quality of my U2312HM monitor. It is a 2012 release but for 1080p gaming and watching 1080p/720p video, to my eyes is still great!
Dell pre-bulits are so in demand that it makes Lenovo Pre-builts dirt cheap (at least in Malaysian) I got a thinkcentre edge 72 with an I5 3470, 500GB hard drive, 4GB RAM and a 19 inch monitor for less than $114.....time to slap in an SSD, new PSU and a decent GPU... My current main workstation is also based on a Lenovo Thinkstation C30 (Dual Xeon, C602) and that set me back less than $200 2 years ago.
I would like to know what happened with your x79. Did you come across the conflict with using a Nvidia GPU? The random black screens. After a year and a half of changing parts only to discover the problem was one of compatibility that needed an update that just wasn't going to come, I pulled my loved Sabertooth X79 and installed a Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming board, 8700K and 16GB of DDR4. Sure it runs great, but is it really better then the x79? I can't really say. The new system benefited from all the old hardware, including a Corsair H115i Pro CPU cooler with 4 corsair fans, and my custom GPU water cooling loop that uses 40 oz. of water, about 6 feet of base tubing and 2 feet in fittings. The loop starts outside the case with a 200ml Res/Pump combo, then a 700ml Res. from there water goes inside the case to a full coverage EK GPU water block. from there water exits the case just under the DVD and goes to a 480 Radiator the uses 8 corsair fans. That's 12 fans plus the case has 4 fans, 16 fans that are silent. The result, Max temp... CPU 48C, GPU 48C. The X79 used the same system plus both the south bridge and Mosfits were watercooled. On that system CPU max temp was 38C.
My 27" IPS 75hz Freesync LG monitor is actually quite good despite only being 1080p. It didn't cost me all that much as has better performance than some pricier models.
i feel tempted to just sell my current PC and start all over with the cheapest new parts available (200GE, A320M etc.) then upgrading them 1 at a time and getting that glorious feeling of an upgraded PC with a huge difference.
Dear Brian! love your content! Really good build on a budget. My only criticism is, that no one runs PUBG on all ultra settings. Just drop some settings (like shadows and post processing to low) and you get more FPS, gets rid of some stutters . And as always cheers from Germany. Peace out for now, Bye! ;)
i think the reason that its still a popular cpu is because intel has made only small improvements since the 4th gen cpu's launched, when 6th generation launched it had barely any improvements other than ddr4 which was more expensive, 7th gen had a big enough improvement that there was a slight reason to upgrade, and the improvements now are mostly just more cores meaning you have almost the same performance, with cheaper ram, on a much more developed platform with all the same tech, excluding xeons its basically the enthusiast cpu of the used market, more pricey than pretty much anything that uses ddr3 but outperforms it all (aside from xeons), its probably the last i7 asside from the 7700k that no one had any problems with, it beat the sh*t out of the fx series and all of their previous stuff, it overclocks well and is overally a very well rounded and well priced product
am just about strating my gaming life on a 32" TV , and also a 8gb ram CPU , i hope its good if i havent dismantled the CPU and placed it in the MB520 case
I use my Technika 40G22B-FHD 40" Slim LED TV Full HD 1080p With Freeview HD works very well its hard to watch a 32 inch TV now. in my room but I can just cope with this size in the other room. I find my other dell 27 all in one inch to small
I'm still rockin a 27inch 75Hz (overclocked) to 90Hz Dell FreeeeeeSync IPS. Yes i overclocked my monitor. Dude B. Can't be rubbin D'ol boxers all over the PC. A Dirty white T will do just fine.lol. I have the z370 Aorus Gaming 7 mother board in a similar case, with the fans it looks pretty good.
totally agree Brian, smaller lower res 1080p monitors are the most competitive, ideally 140hz+ the Benq Zowie that does 240hz probs the best, shroud and all the pros seem to favour it anyhow!
Gonna pair an i5 2400 with an RX 570. New mATX Case, new PSU, new white LED Fan Cooler and the rest all second hand bits! Let's see how an 'old sandy' Acer Veriton X4610G does when turned from an SFF Office Box into a Gaming System...
i´d say that 24" 144hz is sweetspot for gaming, especially csgo, fortnite, apex legends and so on, if ur playing competetivly. When it comes to a good looking setup and sweet exeperiences in all games id say 24" or a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor.
next time you want to bench PUBG, OC servers are up at around 5-6pm aussie time till about 12-1am aussie time :) or for New Zealand 7pm-3am roughly, always varies
Yes, you most likely were connecting to a Singaporean server for PUBG and with pubg the client is somehow tied to the server latency performance especially when it comes to stutters - ie use a VPN or a better routing ISP
Great video! I've been thinking myself about switching from my three monitor setup of a 32" curved Samsung front and center and two 27" Sceptre monitors on either side to just my Samsung as primary and my old 28" Acer 4K that's been collecting dust in my garage as a secondary. I love the 32" Samsung monitor for video and photo editing and gaming, but find myself not really using the third monitor that much, but can't switch to just one monitor or anything smaller than 32" now.
I had that whole issue where the bullet's weren't hitting the target in APEX this past weekend. It's like they were just going right through. I'm using a 4790K but getting well into the 120FPS at 1440P. Yes I have the ultimate noob build 4790K with a RTX 2080. I plan on getting a new board chip and ram soon so I got the GPU out of the way. I guess it should be said that in Battlefield 5 with ray tracing on high and everything set to ultra and at 1440P I'm still getting 95FPS avg. on that old CPU.
The second hand market has a lot of traction lately. Here in Switzerland, one of the richest countries in the world, people are starting to look for second hand systems, this is usually a "buy brand new market" only and there's still a bit of shame, probably a cultural thing, to buy second hand. That's changing, Nvidia's pricing and now AMD pushes people to stick to 1080p Ultra-settings and that's the sweet spot for finding great second hand deals. It's very refreshing to see people adapting and finding alternatives to outrageousely expensive new hardware.
I think the most important reason for i7-4770 to cost a lot is because it's some of the most powerful cpu that an OEM computer can take out of the box, thus making a bargain for ppl already owning such a haswell based oem PC, no matter how much it costs. Same story applies for i7-3770 that I had to spend CAD$110 to get (But that was because the old i5 died so we dont have a choice) Also, my 1080p monitor is even more of a steal than that. I got mine for CAD$20 (with about 1:1 conversion to AUD), as the seller is a farmer that has no idea how much that thing can actually deliver
this is why i love this channel, cuz some of this f*ckin youtubers always teaching people that if you want to build this, play this, you must have atleast $1000, $2000 like WTF ? like all of us can afford that, i love this channel alot
I much prefer smaller monitors for gaming. I have no clue why, but even my 27" monitor feels too big. I have an old 23" that I switch back to sometimes and my aim is noticeably better. But the colors and contrast on my 10 bit 1440p 27" is too nice to give up lol
that case deal reminds me on my latest deal i got for myself. got an almost new sharkoon tg5 case that had 6 new rgb fans + an rgb controller in it for 50 bucks. those 6 fans i would pay 80 just on its own if i would buy them.
The RAM might be it, but I'm guessing it's the amount rather than the speed. I had 8gb of DDR3 with a 1050ti in an old build, and PUBG would stutter so hard it was almost unplayable sometimes. Upon adding just 2 2gb sticks, even though I went out of dual channel, PUBG ran 100x smoother. This was years ago, but I don't think they would've changed that particular thing.

Amazing price to performance! !! My wife plays on a 32" LG650F at 2560x1440p ,I play on a 6" MA6 IPS 450nits Camera monitor,at 1920x1080p.Both hooked up to a eVGA 2080Ti Black.
I also got an awesome deal on a used PC a few days ago :)
- Asus Rampage iii Extreme
- Intel Core i7 960
- Asus R9 290
- 2x4gb Corsair ddr3 2000mhz
- Corsair 120mm Watercooler
- 600W BeQuiet PSU
- DVD Burner
- Coolermaster CMStacker Case
and all that for 120€ 😍
probably the best thing of this deal is the mobo because its a real beast for X58 overclocking🤗
3rd gen & 4th gen i7's are one of my favs. I still have my i7 3770 nonK on my wife's gaming computer and it's still cranking great at 1440p paired with GTX 1660.
I was also building my budget PC over the last two months. I had i5 2300 just laying around from my old PC, and I decided to put it into use. Also, I had 6GB of RAM, old XFX HD 7770 1GB, and 120GB Kingston SSD just laying around, so I decided to put something together. First thing that I managed to find is Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 motherboard on Aliexpress for around 38$, and just when I found that one, WD 500GB hard drive popped up for about 30$. Then I picked up XFX 600W power supply for about 60$, and I also upgraded my RAM from 6GB to 12GB for just about 20$. In the end, only thing that was bottlenecking me was that GPU, and just two days ago RX 570 4GB popped up for around 150$, including two free games, and I'm still waiting for that one to arrive. And yes, I also want to mention that I had monitor, mouse and keyboard left over from that old PC, so I did not need to pick up that.
You are definitely right about the 22"-24"(25") monitors, people who chooses higher dosn't realize that our eyes have a focus area, so choosing higher than 25" will have your eyes looking left right all the time, and if an enemy pops up when you look the wrong way, you loose valuable time (ms) to counter and get that kill..
The love you put in making a build is the same we have watching your videos 💖
For a Monitor, half a year ago i got myself a BenQ XL2411z 144hz for 130 bucks. and its a 24´ and i had a 22 before. I really need to say, 24 is the MAX i would go. its not like i m sitting 2meters away of my screen or something, i think those 24 are almost too big but just rarely fine. But i would never go back to 60hz either. Around here locally you can grap a good used 144hz for around 100-150 depends on what model you want and i would spend those extra bucks on the panel all day. It really is what makes your entire pc shine in the end. All that stuff you render and process with your build... it all makes or breaks with your panel. i ve seen some hillarious setups recently where people tend to ignore their monitors alltogether. got a used gtx 970 recently and the guy i bought it from upgraded to a gtx 2070 to fire a cheap 20bucks 60hz panel with bad colors and overall bad image quality... like that makes no sense on so many levels.
Brian finally brought back the real tech yes lovin
I use 2 LG Monitors with TN Panels, they are older but still doing a good Job. I game on the 22" because my Desk is realy small and i'm realy near to the Monitor. The 2nd is a 24" and i use it to watch Tech YES City while gaming :-) I got the 22" for 20€ and the 24" for 30€ inkl. shipping, both are 1080p 60Hz, thats all i need.
I use a 27" anything bigger is odd. 24 is good but I watch movies and TV on it aswell so 27 works for me
I’ve played on various sized monitors and found my sweet spot was between 24” and 27”, Yes the Ultra-wides are nice but I feel sometimes they are more of a hindrance than straight up enjoyment when gaming. Don’t get me wrong though the ultra-wides are exceptional when image or video editing and do provide a great gaming experience, however the novelty does wear off quickly (in my experience).
Great video and keep up the incredible TechYesExperience!
I Iove you for using an electronic air blower than compressed air! The amount of excitement i experienced shook me to my very core. Keep it up good sir!
I run a 24" monitor. 1440p144 Love it. Great PPI. The only thing I don't like about my monitor is the terrible anti-glare coating on the AG241QX.
Yeah still rocking my 24" 1080p 144hz VA panel. With a 1070... Problem with 1440p ultra wide monitors is you have to buy at least a RTX 2080 to drive it.
Recently I've got on eBay one Xeon E3-1225 Sandy Bridge for 11€, a Radeon RX570 Strix 4GB for 75€ (for my personal rig), an Asus P7P55D Socket 1156 for 13€, a little Xeon X3430 for 8€ and 2 Dell MIH61R Mobo Socket 1155 (plus a Fujitsu LGA1150 MB with the dumb 16 pin power connector) for 10€.
Following the Tech Yes Methods 😎
I loved video editing for this video.
Kudos
nice vid. the 4770 still hold it's well and the 3770 or the 3770k is only 10% slower as well from 2012..
`
The 2500k and the 2600k still hold up well from 2011.
What a bloody steal for the cpu, board and ram. Unbelievable Brian, mind you, I got an xbox one for free yesterday, that only needs a new 5 GBP laser, and it's good for resale. On the hustle.
Here's one for ya.. traded a 150$ set of used 15 inch tires for a Dell 7810XL dual E5 2640s v3 96 gigs ram.. M5000 Quadro.. no drives. got it home insides looked like a goat farm.. blew it out.. added SSD..we be jammin!
My best bang for buck build:
i5 3470 + 8GB RAM + MSI Motherboard and Win7 Pro Key on Case also a 420W BeQuiet PSU -> Free (was thrown away alongside other stuff from a lawyer who closed his business)
RX480 8GB "Dataland" (ex Mining Card) on eBay: 45,03€ inkl shipping.
I guess I could also have used a GTX680 4GB, GTX770 2GB or HD 7950 which I all got for 5€ each as broken, but got working flawlessly ... but I always wanted a 8GB RX480 since it was released at it's overly agressive price, having that much Vram is a blessing for HD-Texture mods.
7:00
I hope that's not how you normally sit in front of your PC haha :D
I get the same PC.. but for 380€ ;)
I7 4770s : 30€
Noctua : 35€
16 go ddr3 : 70€
SSD 240 pny : 30€
GTX 1070 GS Phoenix : 175€
Mobo : free
PSU 400w : free
Q300l masterbox Case : 40€
It's my build to play StarCitizen for Cheap.
45 FPS on Ultra Graphics. Let's Rock!
I swapped a 32" 720p tv for a 27" lg monitor and I couldn't be happier
I love my 24inch monitor. Back when I got into PC gaming I used a 29 inch TV and that was way too large. 24 inch is the best imo great for media and gaming.
Hey thats MY case, just paid $80 US a few months back, decent case but the worse fans I have ever seen.....My gpu too, bought mine for $200 from an ex miner over a year ago and still runs strong at 1440p no matter what game i play, all that matched with an Gigabyte Aorus Ultra X470 and an R1600 ( and the mobo and cpu and 8g of mem from same miner for $200 ), love watching you hustle and show its done to get the best value for money and not always making vids just about HEDT parts like alot of other tubers.....Great video again...
3:07 Oh com'on man, what is that I see on the boxers? You musta been REAL excited HAHA.
Amazing deals! Love your videos and all the used parts hunts!
Can definitely respect the hustle on this one. Did something similar myself and can relate the to patience required
April last year I picked up a Dell XPS 8500. Has a i7 3770 and 8 mb of ram. I picked it up for $50.00 CAD. I asked the person why they where selling it. Was told that they replaced it with a Mac Book, but they really hated Window 10, lol.
I got a 27' 4K monitor few weeks ago, and for a 4K I wouldn't go with a smaller one. That being said, it does feel a bit big, and sometimes I find myself turning my head left-right to properly see what is going on the screen :P
For 1080p 22' is a perfect fit imo. Has this perfect ratio of screen estate and pixel density :)
That's crazy value, that's what you get for the hard work, hope you get some good coin for it... at least for the Jelly Bean hustle!!!
The only things I have ever brought new for my pc is the cpu cooler (hyper 212 black rgb) pc case (phanteks p350x) and some case fans (segotep rgb) but my i5 4690k and asus maximus 7 ranger was $300 nzd, my 16gb g skill ripjaws ddr3 was $150 nzd, asus strix 1080 was $650 nzd, aoc 27" 1440p 60hz was $100 nzd..... I think my cpu is the culprit for bottlenecks in games nowadays but most games still run pretty well at high settings 1440p with a 60fps target but more cores and threads wouldnt go a miss for some games no matter how high the overclock lol :)
Great video man, used is always better! :D much love from NZ
Monitors, ive tried them all from FHD to 4K, 22 to 32 inch, from 60 to 144hz and few in between, the 24 inch 1080, 144hz really is the best sweet spot for gaming and general use, even professional gamers / streamers like Shroud said as much, he actually has a video / clip in which he states this, not too long ago.
More price presentation please. Recycling and affordable are very ingenious thinking.
22- 24 is normaly good.
I'm still really happy with the display quality of my U2312HM monitor. It is a 2012 release but for 1080p gaming and watching 1080p/720p video, to my eyes is still great!
24 Inch HP 1080p 60 Hz, perfect! HP Elite 8200, core i&7930, 8 gig DDR3 AND GT 1030 2 gig DDR5 with passive cooling LP. Not terrible.
I agree with the 32" being too big, i used to have a 1440p75hz 32" aoc monitor, ended up going down to a 27" 1440p , muuch nicer!
Dell pre-bulits are so in demand that it makes Lenovo Pre-builts dirt cheap (at least in Malaysian) I got a thinkcentre edge 72 with an I5 3470, 500GB hard drive, 4GB RAM and a 19 inch monitor for less than $114.....time to slap in an SSD, new PSU and a decent GPU...
My current main workstation is also based on a Lenovo Thinkstation C30 (Dual Xeon, C602) and that set me back less than $200 2 years ago.
I would like to know what happened with your x79. Did you come across the conflict with using a Nvidia GPU? The random black screens. After a year and a half of changing parts only to discover the problem was one of compatibility that needed an update that just wasn't going to come, I pulled my loved Sabertooth X79 and installed a Asus ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming board, 8700K and 16GB of DDR4. Sure it runs great, but is it really better then the x79? I can't really say. The new system benefited from all the old hardware, including a Corsair H115i Pro CPU cooler with 4 corsair fans, and my custom GPU water cooling loop that uses 40 oz. of water, about 6 feet of base tubing and 2 feet in fittings. The loop starts outside the case with a 200ml Res/Pump combo, then a 700ml Res. from there water goes inside the case to a full coverage EK GPU water block. from there water exits the case just under the DVD and goes to a 480 Radiator the uses 8 corsair fans. That's 12 fans plus the case has 4 fans, 16 fans that are silent. The result, Max temp... CPU 48C, GPU 48C. The X79 used the same system plus both the south bridge and Mosfits were watercooled. On that system CPU max temp was 38C.
My 27" IPS 75hz Freesync LG monitor is actually quite good despite only being 1080p. It didn't cost me all that much as has better performance than some pricier models.
i love my stormy days... you had me at that! another HQ video from the Yes man!
i feel tempted to just sell my current PC and start all over with the cheapest new parts available (200GE, A320M etc.) then upgrading them 1 at a time and getting that glorious feeling of an upgraded PC with a huge difference.
For those wanting to know what the song is @4:01 It is Infected Ground Instrumental Version Particle House (Epidemic Sound). You're welcome :)
Do you know what the song that starts at 6:37 is?
That windowsill B-Roll is crispy AF
13:46 - Am I seeing a dead pixel next to mouse cursor?
Great build for the price.
I just bought an ASUS GTX 1060 6GB Turbo for $200 AUD! Wish I got your deals though, but I didn't go overseas but just to Brisbane 😉😅
kinda shit deal ngl
Dear Brian! love your content! Really good build on a budget. My only criticism is, that no one runs PUBG on all ultra settings. Just drop some settings (like shadows and post processing to low) and you get more FPS, gets rid of some stutters . And as always cheers from Germany. Peace out for now, Bye! ;)
Amen to that, right place right time
Bought a ho prodesk with a 4670 for $40
Isaac Nelson where ebay? Lucky
I'm digging the new song. Keep it up!
i think the reason that its still a popular cpu is because intel has made only small improvements since the 4th gen cpu's launched, when 6th generation launched it had barely any improvements other than ddr4 which was more expensive, 7th gen had a big enough improvement that there was a slight reason to upgrade, and the improvements now are mostly just more cores meaning you have almost the same performance, with cheaper ram, on a much more developed platform with all the same tech, excluding xeons its basically the enthusiast cpu of the used market, more pricey than pretty much anything that uses ddr3 but outperforms it all (aside from xeons), its probably the last i7 asside from the 7700k that no one had any problems with, it beat the sh*t out of the fx series and all of their previous stuff, it overclocks well and is overally a very well rounded and well priced product
am just about strating my gaming life on a 32" TV , and also a 8gb ram CPU , i hope its good if i havent dismantled the CPU and placed it in the MB520 case
I use my Technika 40G22B-FHD 40" Slim LED TV Full HD 1080p With Freeview HD works very well its hard to watch a 32 inch TV now. in my room but I can just cope with this size in the other room. I find my other dell 27 all in one inch to small
Thank you, always enjoy your stuff.
I'm still rockin a 27inch 75Hz (overclocked) to 90Hz Dell FreeeeeeSync IPS. Yes i overclocked my monitor.
Dude B. Can't be rubbin D'ol boxers all over the PC. A Dirty white T will do just fine.lol.
I have the z370 Aorus Gaming 7 mother board in a similar case, with the fans it looks pretty good.
totally agree Brian, smaller lower res 1080p monitors are the most competitive, ideally 140hz+ the Benq Zowie that does 240hz probs the best, shroud and all the pros seem to favour it anyhow!
Gonna pair an i5 2400 with an RX 570. New mATX Case, new PSU, new white LED Fan Cooler and the rest all second hand bits! Let's see how an 'old sandy' Acer Veriton X4610G does when turned from an SFF Office Box into a Gaming System...
i´d say that 24" 144hz is sweetspot for gaming, especially csgo, fortnite, apex legends and so on, if ur playing competetivly. When it comes to a good looking setup and sweet exeperiences in all games id say 24" or a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor.
*APUX WEJENDS* love your titles.
ValueYESKING is at it again!!!!
Jeez the video quality is insane keep it up 🔥🔥
abmnq I’ve been watching 144p for the start and then went to 240p because of my connection INSANE QUALITY
144hz 1080 24" is always the sweet spot brother
I find it to be just alittle too small. I have to sit about 40-50 cm from the screen for it to feel sufficient.
@@frostbiten9611 ppl like you should be 27" minimum😂
I have an E3-1245 V3 which is almost identical to the 4770 for half the used price!
next time you want to bench PUBG, OC servers are up at around 5-6pm aussie time till about 12-1am aussie time :) or for New Zealand 7pm-3am roughly, always varies
Yes, you most likely were connecting to a Singaporean server for PUBG and with pubg the client is somehow tied to the server latency performance especially when it comes to stutters - ie use a VPN or a better routing ISP
dunno why mate but i'm loving your intro
Great video! I've been thinking myself about switching from my three monitor setup of a 32" curved Samsung front and center and two 27" Sceptre monitors on either side to just my Samsung as primary and my old 28" Acer 4K that's been collecting dust in my garage as a secondary. I love the 32" Samsung monitor for video and photo editing and gaming, but find myself not really using the third monitor that much, but can't switch to just one monitor or anything smaller than 32" now.
I use a 32" curved high refresh rate monitor. I had a 32" flat before. Seems like the curve causes less strain on my eyes.
class amazing value on that rig Brian, looks Schmick aswell! :D
I had that whole issue where the bullet's weren't hitting the target in APEX this past weekend. It's like they were just going right through. I'm using a 4790K but getting well into the 120FPS at 1440P. Yes I have the ultimate noob build 4790K with a RTX 2080. I plan on getting a new board chip and ram soon so I got the GPU out of the way. I guess it should be said that in Battlefield 5 with ray tracing on high and everything set to ultra and at 1440P I'm still getting 95FPS avg. on that old CPU.
From Tech Yes City to Tech Yes LEGEND
The second hand market has a lot of traction lately. Here in Switzerland, one of the richest countries in the world, people are starting to look for second hand systems, this is usually a "buy brand new market" only and there's still a bit of shame, probably a cultural thing, to buy second hand. That's changing, Nvidia's pricing and now AMD pushes people to stick to 1080p Ultra-settings and that's the sweet spot for finding great second hand deals. It's very refreshing to see people adapting and finding alternatives to outrageousely expensive new hardware.
Haswell / 4th Gen is still great for gamers. I haven’t needed to update yet anything but RAM and GPU yet, and DDR3 has been cheap.
I think the most important reason for i7-4770 to cost a lot is because it's some of the most powerful cpu that an OEM computer can take out of the box, thus making a bargain for ppl already owning such a haswell based oem PC, no matter how much it costs. Same story applies for i7-3770 that I had to spend CAD$110 to get (But that was because the old i5 died so we dont have a choice)
Also, my 1080p monitor is even more of a steal than that. I got mine for CAD$20 (with about 1:1 conversion to AUD), as the seller is a farmer that has no idea how much that thing can actually deliver
this is why i love this channel, cuz some of this f*ckin youtubers always teaching people that if you want to build this, play this, you must have atleast $1000, $2000 like WTF ? like all of us can afford that, i love this channel alot
When I saw the title, I clicked on that like button even before the intro. Keep it up!
Looks good! 😎 Maybe add a RGB CPU cooler for maximum bling.
I've enjoyed a 22" IPS monitor as my all around go to.
I much prefer smaller monitors for gaming. I have no clue why, but even my 27" monitor feels too big. I have an old 23" that I switch back to sometimes and my aim is noticeably better. But the colors and contrast on my 10 bit 1440p 27" is too nice to give up lol
Try playing PUBG with the hyperthreading disable and see if the stuttering goes away. It works well on my core i7 2600.
that case deal reminds me on my latest deal i got for myself. got an almost new sharkoon tg5 case that had 6 new rgb fans + an rgb controller in it for 50 bucks. those 6 fans i would pay 80 just on its own if i would buy them.
The RAM might be it, but I'm guessing it's the amount rather than the speed. I had 8gb of DDR3 with a 1050ti in an old build, and PUBG would stutter so hard it was almost unplayable sometimes. Upon adding just 2 2gb sticks, even though I went out of dual channel, PUBG ran 100x smoother.
This was years ago, but I don't think they would've changed that particular thing.
