    The reason why all the prices are elevated, is that there will be 10% sales tax from October. Many shops - even from Amazon - have increased their prices to get in on customers panic spending pre-tax increase.

The 920 will be getting swapped out for an x5670 as soon as it gets here from eBay. Keep up the hard work and get them deals

    Went on a bit of a used parts hunt myself and managed to snag a 1070 Ti (no warranty though) for 200€. Most 1070 non Tis go for 180-220€, from test I have done with OC its better than a stock 1080. I see that as an absolute win. Paired it with a 4790K (4.9ghz) and 2400 cl10 ddr3 ram that I had and gave it to my brother.
    Does +200 (2100mhz) on core and +600mhz on memory.

    Something to consider while traveling is possibly purchasing the PC and then mailing it to your residence. Obviously I don't travel internationally so I don't know about VAT or anything along those things but it might be a viable solution to purchase at a really really good price and then mailing it home.

    Dang, Brian. I just got a 1 TB 2.5" SSD for $98 in USA. Regarding smell, my mother used to smoke 2 packs of smokes/day AT HOME (not including the 2 at work) and after a couple of years this literally left a nasty yellow film on EVERYTHING which, I would imagine, might leave an insulating film on everything. Considering the temperament of electronics, this might be problematic and it's CLEARLY easy to tell if the piece has been around a lot of smoke by the nasty scent.

    I've just swapped the x5670 in my media PC for a i5-4460 and to be honest I'm amazed at how much better the performance of the system is now. It's even breathed new life into the GTX 780 Ti in games, where with the Xeon I was barely getting 30fps in Assassin's Creed Odyssey at low settings, now I'm getting 60fps with a few of the settings raised to medium.
    The problem of course was the x58 motherboard I was using which had no overclocking support on it, even my RAM was locked at 1333 on it. x58 Xeons are a dying breed sadly simply because getting a good motherboard for them is increasingly difficult at a good price and if you can't overclock then they really aren't worth it.

    Awesome vid. Funny, you won't show up in my feed for a month (and I watch 75%+ tech spots, with you, RGT, LGR, Adored, Coreteks, and Singularity Prosperity being my most viewed at least videos to watch ratio), then I'll get an alert and get to binge watch for 3 hours! Better than Netflix!
    About that fellow selling the 4790 PC. He's got to have 16GB RAM (it's ddr3, chances are 2x4 GB sticks so another $25 bucks for 2 more if he doesn't have them lying around) and a simple 120GB boot drive would be more than enough imo (really any size boot drive).
    I highly doubt he needs _bling,_ but it usually doesn't hurt. Besides that, it **HAS** to be absurdly clean, with numerous pictures which reflect that. Cable management, an alcohol swabbing followed by a thorough polish and shiny fans/heatsinks; that's all free, so it needs to get done.
    List every part and the specs. His FPS benchmarks on popular games he has, both old and new. Free games even if he doesn't play them are great too. If the rig gets 130fps in Fortnite @high settings, even if he doesnt play or like the game, use it as a selling point bc others do. Take Witcher 3 (or wtv game can provide astonishing views and are well known for their fidelity) screens with custom settings so it still looks great while putting up a high avg FPS.
    He really shouldn't have trouble selling that setup as is, but the RAM is a killer, the SSD is (to me) a minor issue if the RAM is doubled. Yeah, the only other thing I can see is presentation (and whether or not he is selling it with a Windows License; a ton of ppl don't want to deal with that. Again, like the boot SSD, no biggie to me or most of the ppl here as we'd throw a $10 license on a $10 ssd, but to an average consumer, that can be a make or break.
    You know what irks me about this? I bet if it had an Nvidia 1050ti or 970 it would have already sold.

    That Ryzen 1700 for 12,778 looked like a pretty decent deal. 8 cores/16 threads going for well below the price on Amazon and Newegg (it converts to around $119 USD) and would certainly work for your son's gaming rig. I checked prices and to buy that chip new it costs a lot more than that (anywhere from $170~$320 USD) but of course I don't know what things look like in Australia or the used market.
    *Edit:* I just saw that 1700X for 16,480 which converts to $153.21 USD. That doesn't seem too bad either.
    And nevermind, you found a 1700 for an even better price, nice :)
