welcome to Episode six of upgrade my PC please on last week's episode we had five AMD APU based systems in need of various upgrades and you the viewers voted Vince's potato some are the most worthy of receiving the proposed upgrades coming Vince's weight is a brand new horizon 3 1200 CPU the asrock be 350 motherboard 8 gigabytes of ddr4 memory a geforce gtx 1060 graphics card and the EVGA 500 b1 power supply so basically in your computer the good news for our 4 runners-up they will be receiving a Rainbow six siege game coach from Ubisoft big thanks to Ubisoft for supporting the series in providing our contestants with free games once Vince gets the new hardware it has it all installed into his rig we'll get some updated photos and we'll show them to you guys as a special feature at the start of next season also don't forget to comment and vote each week as that will place you in the running to win some cool prizes and those will be global giveaways last week Iago Paris from Brazil won a Verizon v 1600 processor this week we have another cool prize and I'll announce that later in the video for now we have 5 pcs all Anita various upgrades so let's go check them out alright diving until we have Andrews PC which is dubbed jus retirement makes sense the 11 year old q 6600 has seen better days that GeForce GTX 1060 is probably not really pulling its weight either anyway the system in its current form or there abouts well it's built five years ago from secondhand parts with the exception of the graphics card the lovely and very retro coolermaster wave master has seen three builds now it's started life with an Athlon 3500 then an Athlon 64 x2 4200 plus then an Athlon 64 x2 5400 before going blue with the Q 6600 Andrew now uses the system for image and video editing but of course enjoys the odd games such as R factor to Borderlands and rollercoaster tycoon I'm sure it also like to enjoy some new or more demanding games as well could he actually play them the only requirement here being that we do keep the wave master case and honestly I wouldn't dare a place such an old beauty what I will do though is replaced that crusty old LGA 775 platform we have at most 380 pounds to play with so we will be stretching the budget to the max on this one the best option right now for Andrews needs would be the risin 5 1600 on the Isuzu Prime be 350 plus with a gigabytes of ddr4 I'd love to upgrade the graphics card as well but rather than opt for a lower end verizon CP I feel like going all-in on the r5 1600 will pay off for that image and particularly video editing should andrew win you can always upgrade to something like a GTX 1060 in the future and that'll set him up nicely for gaming it's my boy blue actually it's Blue Lightning opportunity mist there anyway owner Mitchell is a fellow Aussie and despite rocking an old Core 2 quad rig it's actually quite new to him I think of it or not this gaming rig was built this year of course it was done so using second-hand components probably very second-hand and they were purchased on eBay and a gum tree this is Mitchell's first ever PC build so a big congratulations to him I just hope he didn't spend too much of the components anyway right now he is playing rust rage and minecraft what he's looking for in an upgrade is higher frame rates and faster boot times aren't we all he would they like to stick with a black and blue theme for the build I like that he's quite particular about the small details as this is purely a gaming system I propose we go about things a little differently for this one I suggest we opt for the Intel Core i5 8400 it's an absolute beast of a gaming CPU and with 6 cores that will look after Mitchell for a long time here in Australia there's seuss prime Z 370 P is a cost-effective option and it meets our color scheme requirements quite nicely on that we'll also throw 8 gigabytes of ddr4 memory the rest ends on Mitchell should he be able to save up for something like a GTX 1060 and maybe an SSD this would be an absolutely rockin gaming system the platform could even see a number of GP upgrades in the future as well so there's plenty of room to grow and expand with this platform upgrade David built his Core 2 quad system back in 2009 to play trackmania unite and call of duty back then it sported a GeForce 8800 GTS which was replaced by a GTX 260 and then a GTX 560 and now it has a gtx 770 while still an avid gamer david has shifted his focus towards content creation and video editing so he spends a lot of time in premiere in Photoshop apparently though photoshop crashes quite regularly it's making getting any real work done very difficult then when David's done trying to get some actual work done he does like to play fallout 4 Skyrim and oxygen not included the cable management on this one is a complete disaster and David blames the antec 900 case there's simply nowhere to put all the cables he says the priority though for the $500 u.s. budget will be to improve the Photoshop and premiere performance rather than his cable management so here we have another uk-based contestant in need of horizon 5 1600 build and again I'll go with you if Sue's Prime be 350 plus with 8 gigabytes of memory the GTX 770 will now perform much better certain itself will really boost the gaming experience while the r5 16 her will breeze through productivity workloads with ease the next system was built by Bruce back in 2008 for the sole purpose of streaming YouTube videos and of course playing games after a horrible experience with an insanely expensive pre-built from alien where Bruce decided to build his own unfortunately after spending big on his custom-built rig the one that you see here Bruce did fall on tough times and has been struggling ever since originally the system came with a visiontek radeon HD 3870 x2 but that card ended up failing and oddly I had the exact same maker model and mine died as well anyway a good friend came to the rescue when he upgraded he entered Bruce his r9 390 so that was a seriously good score arma 3 plays extremely well on the new Intel Core i5 8400 so this is what I propose we go for along with the MSI z3 70 a pro with a gigabytes of ddr4 memory then to really get his pc up to speed let's drop in crucial MX 300 275 gigabyte SSD should burst be lucky enough to win he'll think he's just received some kind of technology francis was gifted this computer seven years ago by his girlfriend's father at the time it couldn't have been more than three years old and with a $1000 qx60 850 out of the hood that's a seriously nice pickup since then he has replaced the original GTX 650 to eye with the GTX 1050 Ti and he's also purchased on the site a Corsair case and cooler master cooler as he plans to slowly upgrade every part in the system this is though against the approval of his girlfriend I'm told so that's a bit awkward maybe she's hoping dad will come through with a core i5 59 60 X rig or something like that anyway the new corsair and Coolermaster bits have been purchased so hopefully Francis isn't currently single that'd be a shame if he missed out on that future upgrade path right now he's only using the system for gaming he does play d3 which I have to assume is Diablo 3 and given that the other game is World of Warcraft I'd say I'm probably right however the hope is with the upgrade to get the system up to speed so he can play games such as overwatch and pub G apparently load times are a major issue for the games he's currently playing in those WD green drives aren't the snappiest choice for a boot drive so for this one let's go with the arisin v 1400 on msi is really nice be 350 tomahawk with a gigabytes of ddr4 memory then I propose we demote the WD green hard drive to secondary storage status by dropping in the crucial MX 300 275 gigabyte SSD and that will see us use every last dollar in our budget with this upgrade though pub G and overwatch won't be an issue all right guys there's five Intel relics all in need of various upgrades it's now your job to let us know which one you think is the most deserving of receiving our proposed upgrade package to cast
