An R9-290X for $150 AUD!? ($112 USD) - April's USED Parts Hunt Vlog & More

2017-04-30
welcome back guys and today we're going to be used parts hunting where I'm jumping on gumtree putting on that bogan voice and we're going to be seeing what deals we can get also with that said I did do some types of trading this month where I did make a separate video and I'll put the link up here where I did get some really good deals from swapping PC parts which will make off the PC that's going to hit the channel very shortly that use price performance PC but also that will talk about some of the other things going on behind the scenes here so let's get on with it we pulled up a heap of deals here and the first one we've got is an i-9 290 but the problem with this one is it's a bit too far away like I've wasted a lot of money and gas but I'm pretty sure this guy would take a hundred and fifty Australian dollars for this which would be very cheap for an online 290 especially a direct coup - as well a direct Cu depends on how you want to talk about a bit next one here we've got a desktop PC monitor keyboard speakers 35 bucks and really a lot of the hardware in here we've got a photo here a lot of the hardware is pretty old-school I mean this is like a m2 or ddr2 anyway so it's really old but this case is just so damn cool looking I mean that is just so retro so much swag on that case like I've got to put in a $10 off of it I might even just call them up because there is a number there so we'll call that up later and this is the motherboard that was on there so you can see that yes supporting Athlon 64 CVS and they're just really old-school now this next year we got up here is 209 290 axes so we've got $200 negotiable it's not too far of a drive so I'm going to call them up and see if the guy will take a hundred and fifty Australian dollars I think that's a really good compromise I think you should be wanting to get rid of it because don't have those reference coolers but that's not a problem we can whack on an excel or if need be and then the next deal will go up here is for a hundred and sixty dollars we've got a core i5 it's a four core I think the 2400 so we can call up see if we can get this sure there's no number there so we'll drop in a $100 offer on that and see if they take it because it comes with a monitor and stuff that I'm only interested in the desktop PC here so other deals that are really good is this one but it's too far away another 1990 there from the Zeus really good deal pretty good deal here is another 780 if this went too far I would be dropping in low balls and then this one here was like really weird a quarter jewel and a GTX 670 so really weird specs going in this I'm pretty sure it might not even be a Core 2 Duo they've just labeled that wrong and that could actually be a really good PC for a deal so the last few months we've kind of been going with a typical like full-on bogan voice this month I may try a tough bogan high by they gone yeah so yeah Don dumb tree for a $35 desktop p3 for the sorry $35 desktop oh yeah yeah yeah matter would you take 10 big ones for it okay no I don't need the monitor or anything donated speakers on Rihanna's Ravello okay cowboy room and all I was going to do is just break them up and so honest if you majors down I'll just look look nice and all filler but with the miss power pack cinnamon yes the board separately any other topic which i think is a better way to do it until the monitor I go there for one ism yeah are you it yeah all interesting old Edison in the case-mate you just want the case figure yeah yeah I can he be an idle focus mantle at all this afternoon and then just ring back and I've got all business yeah well the case yeah geez mate legend alright I'll talk it in I'll say mate bye alright so they went really well he didn't want to sell the whole PC for ten dollars obviously it's really cheap for all that but I was only interested in the case and he was willing to put up the case for sale for ten bucks so hopefully we can get it for ten bucks so I just I don't know I've never seen a case like that before but let's call up the next deal see what we can get Isaac sir sir so he's not picking up his phone we'll drop in an offer on gumtree for 150 bucks right now the hizzle a new paths that have also been sent in this month sighs a review or build samples and the first one here's the RX 570 from Oris now I'm going to be reviewing this against the RX 470 which is a similar cattle that have changed it from gigabyte to orous and also I'm going to be checking the overclocking Headroom how much extra performance that gives and also things like the power consumption and thermals also behind that we've got the gtx 1060 from msi to the gaming x plus this thing now has 9 gigabits per second of gddr5 memory those go fast the memory on board and we'll see how that pans out in games I want to test this against the RX 580 since I believe they're going to be the two hottest cards around the midsection still even with these refresh is going on now besides that we've got an X 370 there's a gaming Pro carbon very popular motherboard on the X 370 line so I want to put that with an r7 1700 and do a really cool deal for you guys for our overclock that we put in a decent graphics card and then here we got some kami gammy robots I've been meaning to review these for quite a while I just really haven't completely forgot about them so sorry to come again me robots but I will be checking these out and seeing if they're any fun so here we've got some Seagate hard drives they send these in because they'll really impress that I went out and bought some Barracuda drives and they were like look that's only our entry level for our new lineup so they've got a completely new lineup of hard drives they've got things like sshd nass drives and so I'm going to be checking the doubt checking the performance out and seeing how well they perform and then laptop I went to an event with Steve from hardware on box we went down to Sydney and he went up from Melbourne and we were at this event where AMD we're talking about the new rising CPUs so I managed to get the r5 1600 and also the 1400 because I'm really interested in the budget options so I'm going to be putting those in a build for you guys or in two different bills - stay tuned for them on the channel and a little data we're going to get through that ask them 1700 versus the 7 700 K and multiplayer Benjamin stay tuned for that too and we're moving on to this month bill which is going to have the Coolermaster silent oh you know some people like to call it the silent EO but I like to call the silent o and then we've got a 500 gigabyte hard drive that I brought back from Japan this was like a 10 dollar one and then also with a lot of these parts I did do a lot of swaps this month so I actually confused on how to price up a lot of this gear because as you guys may know I did a swap where the laptop was the main point of the swap and then I just got all this stuff like these are this Ram this CPU the 4690k and other components this SSD for example that was all icing on the cake with the deal so I don't really know how to price that up I'm a little bit confused there though we do have a GTX 770 in the background but the guy has gotten back to me and he said he would accept 450 dollars for a 290x so since this CPU is going to be very powerful I'm going to overclock it we're going to match that up with a 290x just because we can we've also got a cooler master 212 to fans on us so that's going to be really good for this CPU and we've also got a $10 power supply which I brought back from Japan as well so we've got some really good deals this month it's going to make for a kick-ass build ok so I got a reply from the guy with the 290 X's actually two of them but I'm going to go pick up one of them for a hundred and fifty AUD which would be like 110 USD or something like that so I'm gonna go pick that up now and see how good it is so I just got back from picking up this sapphire 290x we got this for 150 Australian dollars a really good deal it actually looks like it's in really good condition too so the guy said it works perfectly fine he actually had another one for sale as well so someone's on the Gold Coast and they're looking for a really good deal on a graphics card I'd be hitting that other one up for 150 AUD men SuperDuper price and it's going to actually replace this 770 which is going to get put in another build since this CPU is going to be pretty high power especially after I deal with it and overclock it all I think there's going to be one hell of a build also an update on my Huawei phone here we've got this new screen on I managed to pick this up for $30 off eBay 30 u.s. and it works perfectly fine so it's really cool I got this screen fitted on the crack screen as note as in the bin and yeah there it is all fixed up it didn't what did take a while actually but there's this really good guide on YouTube that I used to not only take it apart but to put it back together again so there it is my phones working again so now so that we have a guys today's use pot hunting was really good that 290x just made it all worth it that was one really good deal now I know a lot of you guys like Luke Bryan I want to see a top five GPUs on the youth price performance for 2017 and with that deal that I just got and with seeing a lot of r9 290 s come up that's probably going to be number one on that pick because that is just one really good deal providing they weren't being used for Bitcoin mining and left on 24/7 but other than that guys we've got the used computer coming that's going to be absolutely kick off with a 290x and a 4690k in there I still don't know how to price that up so I have made a thread over at the forum so check that out because I love your guys feedback on how I should price this build up because I'm obviously it's not going to be free because I swap parts for it but on the same time I don't want to make it too unrealistic so looking forward to your comments as always and with that I've also got the new parts backlog it still builds up but I promised you guys I'm going to make be used and the new parts sort of come out in balance so hope you guys enjoy what's been coming out of the channel lately and I'll catch you guys in another tech video very soon tease out for now bye oh maybe I should put an accelerant to 9tx I'm thinking that's a good idea mom's Road
