2018-07-01
okay we should be live right about now and welcome back to Joon's episode of hot used matters and deals for PC hunters and joined by a nerd on a budget how you doing hey I'm doing good Brian i thanks for having me on again hey what's up everyone and so basically what this show is about is looking at the deals in the month looking at sort of like what's the best play if you're especially if you're a deal hunter and you want to build a gaming pc for your friends or someone or even if you want to flip that PC what sort of like in fashion sort of thing because one thing that's happened with these deals lately right one thing that's happened with the PC models talking to a few friends the other day we're in a very unique day and age right now because if you went back say 10 years ago and you tried to buy parts that were 5 years so for instance you go back to 2008 and yeah you were trying to buy parts for 2003 that was sort of relevant oh yeah for sure but now we come to 2018 parts from 2013 are still so relevant so what we've got here is it such a unique market where it's really just yeah it gives rise to use PC parts flippin I guess and so we'll take a look at some of the deals we got here today Danny and I both bring in some deals to the table first one being I guess the hybrid gtx 980ti is a really good deal oh yeah do you want to take it take the lead on this one yeah it wasn't a story real quick since all the deals I asked for the stories from the viewers and this was actually a prequel story so that's why I wanted to talk about it but let me scroll through what was the person's name again I had his name is Benjamin V Benjamin B okay alright so we have a 1988 hybrid from Benjamin B he's from Houston actually Houston Texas and I saw it we do have some people from Texas in the chat right now so he's in your neck of the woods but he picked this up for $300 which I mean given the state of graphics cars right now especially with like GT x10 70s still pretty overpriced this is an awesome deal and what happened was he actually meant to buy this for a friend and because it's friend eater graphics card so he bought it for 300 bucks on Craigslist but then his friend ended up finding a better open box deal for 270 micro centers so he ended up keeping this graphics card and what he was able to do was he sold his r9 390 for 315 bucks so he made a profit off of it and he switches 390 to this 98 epi and that card is just beautiful I mean it's gorgeous yeah it's it's actually performs really well to the hybrid cooler really does a good job of cooling this thing down I've tried a 980ti with a water cooler before even the 120 mil solutions they do a great job of giving you better overclock - so that's a pretty good play that's a nice play when you getting a 980 I it's still so relevant even in 2018 even sort of like getting branching into that high-end gaming we have picked up yeah we'll talk about when we get to the nine 70s but we're gonna up here next up is a Camden and this is really weird because I looked at the photos it looks like there's two different shots here he's got a GTX 670 and he's also got what looks like yeah I'm asleep so he actually picked up two graphics cards here one of them was an Asus GTX 670 it's a 2 gigabyte variant he picked up one for his friend and then for one for himself but he got both of them for $40 each on let go which geez let go there over there in Australia I don't know not sure what exactly is metal yes it definitely is it I would say a new meta I've used it before - so it's actually I'm not sure if it's a part of the Facebook app but there's other kind of Craigslist alternatives that are popping up like offer up Macari have you heard of those ones no I mean in Japan my friends telling me about some auction one that was pretty good to get some deals on but it's try it's just do this is Gumtree and yeah basic marketplace as well is pretty hard there - there's our - sort of places you go to online you've also got forums as well there's the OCA you forum I mean I tried signing up a few like I think last year I tried signing up I apparently had to weigh like two months or something to get I couldn't be bothered you think wait I try to do the same thing here in the US - like there's a OCP as well as some other forums and because it's like so tight-knit there they want you to be vested for a while so you have to have that kind of like an active account you have to be posting so yeah I found those are hard but what this let go and these other apps are popping up I think they some of them they can be standalone or they're just part of the Facebook like interface kind of like Facebook market babe place always yes it's just another place for people who don't really trust Craigslist to post their stuff and I've picked up stuff on there well really when you think about it when you when you look at this and you look at a site like let go you look at a site like Gumtree or Facebook for example yeah you've got that whole anyone can access it and people who want to offload stuff instead of chopping and in the rubbish bin or the garbage when they instead sell it for dirt cheap and that's when you're gonna get the real deal that's when you're gonna get that super good deal now a lot of people yeah we just let stuff go I mean I've picked up a heap of different deals over the last couple of months in my used deals hunts some extraordinary goods I think I mean the GTX 980 I picked up for 250 AUD was really good I was happy with that deal now I got a 9 HDI before that first 350 AUD so that'd be like you know 280 and 180 USD respectively it's pretty cheap and so those cards are really high-end you can put them in systems and they perform better than you know for instance a 1066 gigabyte system and a 1070 system in a lot of cases so yes I'm really good I mean they're easy to get apps are definitely where the deals are at and I'm I'm gonna pull up next year I think Caesar Caesar oh my god these are oh okay yeah $250 now for a gtx 750ti and i-5 4670 k so i guess ii i guess he hustled it down $100 from the 350 dollar entry point yeah that's what a lot of these people are doing when they show me the ads they actually they're kind of I'm not sure we call it low balling but they're offering less and so I mean yeah that's that's not a lowball it's it's getting close to it but a low gapping is like half price and even on dog 250 solid it's a decent offer on 350 especially considering the specs aren't that gorgeous on this thing I mean it's a 70 50 that's the only thing that I saw those holding it back like if they I think if the guy slapped in the stronger graphic scarred to kind of pair better with that I five he could have sold it for maybe 450 or 500 as like a complete gaming PC you know I'm putting for tonight in the title and just kind of sell it to some kiddies yeah but I mean I flipped a PSA early today for 350 it's a full night PC you know just putting together some PC parts you know that that's fortnight's sells gaming pcs at the moment especially for low-end and especially even if you want a couple in for instance like a monitor and a keyboard and mouse combo and a headset you want to go that far you can make a whole gaming package and especially on the low end it really does help you sell your builds but of course it's picking up the monitors that's why I'm not going out of my way when I deal hunt to go get the monitors yeah but if they're there and they're cheap enough i just i stockpile them because they will help sell those lower and builds if you can add okay you pay an extra 60 70 dollars I'll throw in a monitor keyboard mouse bank suddenly that package looks so much more attractive especially for someone who doesn't get into PC gaming they don't know what they're doing if you give a comparable figures for instance if it's got a 78 17 you like hey this performs close to a gtx 1050 people gonna think wow I can get this package for half the price so yeah the PC that you actually just went to sell is that gonna be in a video or is that kind of just like an offline type thing name is doing I don't know if I already featured it I'm not too sure I'm gonna donate a heap of PCs very soon though okay do have a lot of peace like I got a lot of donated parts and it's like for me it's like I'm gonna make a mass video where I'm just really make a heap of different pcs and then don't and for a local cause okay I should be shipping off like you know stranded all of PC it cost like $300 of ship a PC in distress so yeah yeah and so I will be doing giveaway for the viewers that also want to do something for like low income families you know oh yes I'm gonna do something mags I get them donated Heba pause I wanna make make give back and I think what I like about this build before we move on is the power supply is really nice the case is really nice SSD and hard drive he's got a gigabytes of RAM all's it really has to do is update the graphics card and he's got him so he's got a cool master cooler already on this thing and he gives himself a really nice gaming PC I'd slap the GTX 1060 if you could find one or 974 like 200 or less yeah this is like under $500 really capable PC yep that's it next up we're gonna move on now to a clutch kick Rover II I think this one C this is a really cool play because he's got a Z on in here now this is my favorite of the whole bunch yeah I need a on he got me interested and a lot of the viewers too this was actually two deals and the first one it was just a gtx 770 the guy was asking for a hundred bucks but then he said he offered 60 and he took it which i think is a steal of a deal even I believe does it say in there if it's a 2 gigabyte one either way I think 60 bucks USD for a sense 770 because it's gonna give pretty similar performance to a 1050 TI those are still really overpriced over here in the states I mean like their prices came down slightly but now there's like around 150 so this is a great alternative for something I had to drop the image down on the right because there was an address there like oh yes if people are sending I gotta say - if people are sending us your deals and stuff make sure all the sensitive informations out guys please just like saying I was gonna blur it out I didn't get a chance to yeah also this guy has blocked him as well as there a reason he says he's blocked Eli Hernandez ah yeah I'm not sure actually I did not catch that you so ha did he like just run away with the goods and then be like y'all blah I wanted maybe the guy wanted like the things back after how much is worth so that was the GTX 770 right now the system Lizzie on in it was it was a different seller that was selling it so what happened was the guy listed it as a dell XPS with an i7 in it and he he offered him the asking price but then when he showed up the guy pulled out it was actually a precision T 1600 system and it wasn't what he advertised at all so then he said okay that's not what you're advertised so I'll give you 15 for it and then the guy said okay sure but then when he gets home he opens it up he finds out it has a Xeon e3 1270 in it you know 2.4 gigahertz 4 count 8 threads I have a gigabytes of ddr3 RAM and my hard drive and there was no problems with it so he made off with a $15.00 full bill PC that he maybe just needs an upgrade the power supply and the graphics card and you got a solid system there that's a really solid system yeah so if you can utilize those Zeon's that's probably where the best players with the server's live if you're gonna go for those X Server systems those locked Zeon's that are comparable to i7 2670 770's for example they're a really good play especially if people don't know what they're worth and you can basically with that you can then really make a mint because a lot of those pcs will be getting sold out at the moment so you can have those cheap Zeon's and where you go you'll be ballin especially when you get a GTX 770 as well and a seven he's nothing to laugh at it'll still perform exactly like it was at 1050 TI if not a little bit better before get your bikes I think yeah it's about the same it depends on the titles from with the benchmarks that I've seen by up and someone can point out look at that hard I was gonna point that out as well look at that hard drive tray I mean what happened there did someone just like oh oh the ham oh oh yeah okay so in the story says he had to modify the t 1600 hard drive cage this stuff to 770 in it I'm not sure what oh that's how you do it that's exactly how you do it around tech yes city just a quick dirty bang job and he's gaming now yeah I mean you can get that you can take the drives out you can do the whole to get the Dremel out and start grinding away it's up to you me personally I'd yeah I like the jewels personally man you know you get the just a little bit of Rage out rip the hard drive cage out and you're good to go we got up here next to his Josh B and he's he's looks like you got a dealer sort of it's it's a good it's actually good met I like this one because he's sort of picking up those newish parts yeah and he's getting four really good prices it looks like he got an i7 6600 yeah yeah so 6600 K and also a 1/2 terabyte hard drive how much memory is there there's 8 gigabytes of duty a 16 gigabyte whoa fury HyperX ddr4 20 400 megahertz yeah and x10 70 yep the wind force dual fan overclocking okay that really does make the deal worth I mean a six thing you bytes of ddr4 is expensive nothing to fret at if you are looking to build a PC at the moment ddr4 is probably your biggest enemy I mean there's you grab Scott's coming out from max miners they going down pretty cheap new graphics cards are coming down a lot in prices it's just the ddr4 is probably the biggest enemy at the moment stopping you so what yeah with that in mind if you can get deals like that you essentially just wait out the ddr4 and you can probably sell everything else and just keep the ddr4 and go free 16 gigabytes out of that deal oh yeah sure that's what I like about that so that's definitely a nice and I was talking about that before when I picked up a PC a few others was it last year even possible I forgot when I did it I picked up PC with 32 gigabytes of ddr4 in it and it was like I got it really cheap the whole deal it just had a bad I'm not a bad graphics card I was 7970 and I picked up the whole thing for 800 strain is really a deal that's a good meta to follow if you look at new parts and you see who's letting things go yeah there is a I mean there was a PC flipper on the Gold Coast who picked up a rise in PC for like 500 I think I offered 400 but someone else was really quick and they offered more so obviously the guy who sold it to the girlfriend more but yeah I want to get them deals next up here we got a nick C 83 56 thinking about two ddr3 for a hundred and thirty that's a USD yeah yep yes d okay so that's not a bit I mean the sixteen gigabytes is solid the 8350 if you're not going with to higher in the graphics card if you're going with a 770 or something you're gonna have a good time like you really got a decent solid deal here I mean it's got the cooler included it's nothing super the motherboard looks real mediocre oh yeah definitely lowering motherboard but I just broke it down doing the math that 16 gigabytes of ddr3 RAM is worth roughly like 70 to 80 so that puts the motherboard and CPU combo at around $50 or so which I mean I know it's old and people like to give epic series a lot of crap but you're looking at you know building a system like sub $300 here so I think in that price range you're gonna get enough for 1080p gaming you slap a decent graphics card in there nothing to I end I mean I've used the 8350 it's okay of course nothing great but you still be out of place you'll still be able to play games on this thing that's the bottom line especially if we can get a grab a cheap power supply now grab a cheap gravis card and a cheap case you get himself a really cheap gaming PC so kind of like that I like that play I mean I always just keep a lookout remember deal's a deal doesn't know what it is except if it's a pentium d then you're in trouble that's not exactly a date deal anyway so we got here next up or rich at 2600 K $100.00 combo and oh yeah yeah when you're talking about 2600 K in a hundred bucks you've got one epic combo not just a combo so that looks like a lowball I mean the guy's selling it for 250 in the ad and the $100 I mean that's ballsy man I really he offer 40% of the asking price but that's less than half by a good 10% yeah I mean do you think you're doing fighting do you do that yeah not only ball that much man unless unless the person really invites it and they will in the ad they'll say offer me anything so I'll be alright let's just offer you nothing because you're saying that they're usually most people especially on the Gold Coast especially in my area they'll be like price is slightly negotiable or price is pretty firm you know you're not really dealing so you know straight away they want around that area some people don't even do any offers as well but yeah yeah like low balling as well they you do it when the person gives rise to it in their language okay offer me anything just want it gone so some people very put something off for 200 bucks if they can't get the 200 they need it gone urgently they'd probably invite lowballs yeah I mean I personally that's pretty that's a pretty ballsy lowball at $2,600 12 gigabytes of RAM - nothing to fret at it's got a power supply even got did you even get the LED strip included I don't believe so it's the icing on the cake so the case in the end there so what he did with hee hee because it came with the Coolermaster half case which is kind of getting old by now it's there he's got food crumbs in it or something yes that he likes and then it looked like it was pretty dirty and beat-up maybe that's why he was comfortable offering so low but the last picture with the LEDs is he actually if put into a new case of p300 and it looks like he bought the LEDs himself but I mean I think that I 720 600 came motherboard alone are worth roughly about 100 USD if not a little bit more so he made off with a bunch of extra stuff from this deal because he's ever lowball so much oh yeah I think that gtx 570 is pretty much dated and that needs to go other than that everything else is pretty much set up for a cheap gaming rig 2600 k yeah you laughing I mean that CPU still so relevant so yeah well I really like this deal I'm not too sure I agree with the low I'm personally a pro I would have came in a half price but yeah hundred bucks ngratulations 25 so yeah yeah that's that's pretty ballsy I mean most people in ours will tell you you know what to do if you offer on that and then another thing you're black like they won't want to talk to you again as well that's the riskier on sort of yeah so you know for me usually I come in like thirty twenty twenty thirty percent off just often it just depends on the language anyway next up we've got something I'm sorry yeah oh no I got C well it's because people like you and I because we do this quite a bit we don't want our reputations to get tainted in our local area right but I mean some of these guys I think they're just doing this every once in a while or once every year or two when they upgrade their PCs so they might be more ok with it or you know they're not as worried as we would be yep that's true that's true so next time people got some laptops also get a donation as well cool ah yes Brit the master do you ever feel awkward when you're low ball and the seller get had I see yeah that's I mean I've done in the past I'm not gonna lie I mean I've done that in the past I've low-balled pretty low and the seller hasn't just got mad they were like you know really mad and you know just angry like you just really abusive language and yeah okay yeah so like I learned kind of you just got to learn how their their wording their sort of adds you know it's like and I was like I said it I have low board in the past like not too long ago but the person invited it with the language they're like you can't offer me anything sort of thing all right where we go so yeah and then yeah so next up here we got the HP laptop I don't know how to sort of it's a beats laptop I'm not too sure on here so I left up dismal exactly an older laptop but so this is from stalefish and he actually said he picked it up for 50 bucks on Craigslist he was actually a late night posting and this one came up and then he saw it instantly and because I'm so cheap he grabbed it right away but this isn't a powerful graphics by any means it's by now it's actually kind of dated but it does have an AMD a8 apu in it so it does have some you know form of integrated graphics that is you can kind of I've seen benchmarks with this I actually looked it up before the show you can play games like League of Legends and someone was playing Diablo 3 with this so very light gaming but the thing is is $50 like you can set this in front your TV and it becomes your media PC for your TV or you can just use this especially if you're like a student or something I think it's definitely worth more than what he got it for right now on eBay they're selling for around 200 to 250 so he got it for a severe discount he got a pretty 20% of the price exactly right I mean it looks like he's got a touchscreen as well which I'm really diggin like if you need something just sitting on the couch or something touchscreen can sort of help out a lot yeah especially it's got a webcam included you needed a little Skype just good box exactly not a bad little deal I mean laptops eyes usually don't look at laptops cuz if they've got problems besides a hard driver and SSD it's just too too troublesome and tears but there is a lot of money and we're gonna pull out this next deal because this is really relevant with laptops and flippin laptops books I know there's a lot of guys out there who will flip and MacBooks I'm not into it personally but I'm guessing it's very profitable we go there's $20 a twenty dollar MacBook yeah Trevor B do you want to explain a little bit more about this because this looks like it's an ultimate load oh yeah well no this wasn't a lowball actually so I actually have the whole story right here in front of me so so this is from Travis be from Canada Ontario and what happened was because if you look at the messages you can see that I was originally he'd messaged the guy for an xbox controller for his son but then what happened was they kept talking and then the guy said hey I got some other stuff the are you interested and he said you know I have this broken MacBook Pro and an Apple Mouse and you can have it for $20 too if you want it so what he did was he ended up getting it for 20 bucks which is what you see in the pictures and when he got home he just googled it and how to troubleshoot it and he's ever getting it up and running with the only problem was that the power button didn't work but he would need to replace the keyboard for that but either way that's gonna be a cheap fix and then you get I believe it was a 2012 MacBook Pro which man it's crazy how even a MacBook Pro that old still retains its value that's definitely worth more than 20 bucks yeah I personally like I would've just ignored it like I have no interest in picking this up and trying to like flip it and fix it look like if you came across this would you try to pick it up and try to flip it or like for me the mom just saw time time is a thing that I need more of if yeah if people out there into PC flipping and they're not doing 4k video editing work every single day of their life they might want to look into mac flip macbook flipping because I guarantee you the user base would that would be selling them I mean I'm not trying to stereotype but hey why is well wouldn't be as switched on as someone building enthusiast tech PCs so they would just let them go as soon as a little problem happens it's out of warranty oh this thing is useless sell it and it's probably an easy fix and then you can fix it and reef lip it and make a ton of profit that's what I'm guessing is going on with the MacBook Pros because I do get some people trying to trade in MacBook someone not interested laptops not interested and you know there's just yeah the laptop game isn't something I want to delve into cuz in the screws sometimes you can sit there for days like screwing everything apart and having to go to youtube looking at some guide on how do you say that dismiss laptop I got a laptop on troubleshooting right here this is my family member but I bought this for them like a year two ago and it's exactly what you were just saying like we there's a problem with it which I don't know what it is right now so I'm you know doing all the things like keying out the RAM reinstalling the OS and stuff but the thing about this compared to all the other things that we do you know with desktops is it's not as easy to change parts out especially if it comes to like problems with the motherboard so that's the only risky part about it because you know it's so proprietary and they use their own connectors and things like that you can't just easily replace that out so yeah I tend to usually ignore laptops as well just like you yeah it's it's just one of those things I'm not passionate about either like when you talk about making content as well you want to be passionate about that content ya know refurb and potatoes oh yeah I'm very passionate about that you know making an old hardware work like new really passionate about that so there's a lot of things you know just laptop cereal isn't my killer fish but I'll pull up some deals that I've got going on here all right first one here we've in the hot used matter inbox we got live to define he sent this in and Leslie picked up you know he picked up a little combo of parts here I think he did do a little bit of a discount this is 243 bucks but I think he dropped in an offer of I was 220 and as an i5 8460 was ddr4 but that wasn't sales or assault so we got the CPU hard drive and the power supply and motherboard so that was a good little combo you know instead of going out oh yeah yeah so can't buy it new for 400 bucks you're just saving a bit of money because someone obviously probably now wants to go maybe rise in 2700 X or they want to wait for a Z 390 whatever the deal is they're losing money and I mean when I see an i5 8400 this is one of my favorite CPUs in the new scene at the moment it is just a baller of a CPU you've got little to no heat getting dumped in your case things like 60 watts of power consumption the included fans okay for the i-5 it's not for the 8700 which is a different topic yeah the price is good it'll work on any motherboard pretty much in the series it's a nice power play for gamers and people who don't want overclock so it's wait so he got he got the motherboard - yeah oh dude that's so sorry because that's 370 even though he might not be overclocking but because that I 5 I think it retails right now for around 180 bucks so that's almost like you know he almost got that for the price he paid and then he got all the extra stuff with it so that's awesome yeah yeah it is a pretty solid deal I may not be definitely jumping on that if I saw that locally so what next deal here is well from Luis Ramos he's like dude he sent us two deals in he's gone hard man he's got so miss like a host full motherboard yeah mr. Ramos has got the he's rockin the x58 he knew I'd feed him on the show as soon as he showed me this and so $30 and there's like bonanza so he's got the Quadro in there as well which isn't really worth looking at it's an old quad quad Rome ancient now but x58 motherboard i7 950 and also a EVGA x58 motherboard the EVGA x58 motherboard obviously been a big yeah H of this deal and having six gigabytes of ddr3 is nothing to fret out if you add another six gigabytes and you've got 12 gigabytes which is totally relevant for today's uh for today's gaming pcs so I'm really diggin that that's a hot deal from Louis is he in the chatter yeah alright Louis what's up man I love you deals I love it we got one more from Louis he's like look Brian I'm not gonna stop there he's got a a prebuilt dell and i think yeah yeah wow so I got this for 140 went in the middle I'm pretty sure you got this in the middle and yeah an i7 6700 like whoa absolute no-brainer at 140 I mean the CPU Alone's worth yeah yeah I just chuck out the grams cumin you got a power supply in there you put a 1050 Ti in that thing you could reflect that so easy for over 500 bucks so you know he's got a solid PC right here there you don't really have to change things around so he's definitely on his game when it comes to getting those deals and sort of finding those elusive deal so you know that's that's a play if you're if you're used PC parts on it you want to be going for those elusive deals that people aren't really looking for like if I go on gumtree at the moment and I guarantee you half the Gold Coast is looking for a GTX 970 or a GTX 980 or a ddr4 in their search terms there's someone going with that is is really good so he saw a c-130 I thought he said 140 an email anyway my bad here would be he says okay nice that's good that's good man that's what we like to hear so we'll pull up some of the next deals I got him in the email box I said duck Truong he got a it's an EVGA GTX 970 for a hundred and five bucks I mean I'm loving some of these photos as well I mean you guys taken these photos like the MacBook Pro photos had some really gorgeous bakit we use and use your DSLR like off your phone like Joey dears like all your phone love to know which thing is it the Huawei like mine because it looks like it's got some real nice well this is from the ad did he send anything else from from what he took this is surprisingly good for an ad picture yeah just he just she just sent us thing so that's all I saw 105 bucks I mean at that you just go pay the asking price I mean I usually don't recommend paying asking but when something comes up so cheap you just literally a year on the doorstep ASAP yeah man I'm paying the cash I recently picked up a mars 760 and I offered the guy a little bit more than he's asking price because I've been chasing that card for so long now so he was asking 180 astray and I said look dude you get a poke he said he's got a post at Sue's I was like well I offered him straightaway 200 200 including postage and he's like yep okay done so when you know it deals really hot and it's super hot you can sometimes just come in and be like yo pay an asking price you might want to bump it up if you know there's like 20 other hustles that are gonna come in on that deal your deals gonna stand out if you're offering five bucks more even even than the odds so yes my way postage so he actually had to send it to you he was that far away yeah okay no okay so that's one thing that I guess we should definitely talk about because of all these local deals we gonna pick up its new cash so there's nothing to worry about right but how do you how do you deal with you know gum tree and then for us would be Craigslist all the other ones if someone was far enough away and you have to go through I'm guessing PayPal or venmo or something wrong hey pal usually yes oh yeah usually I you got a saucer someone out with the language like this guy I called him up I got his phone number called him up straight away so I'm like interrogating him a little bit that's you kind of got to do things straight away if you know someone's dodgy man they're gonna try and shy away they're gonna avoid you and that's just how it is I mean there was a guy selling a GTX 1070 locally here about 30 minute drive away and he wanted to meet someone like oh my I got my friend to put the offer in he wanted to meet him in a shopping center and with no mobile number or anything Wow at a random time like that's a hose warning right there yeah there's sort of these ways you sift through the batter I mean I've learnt I speak hose now it's a language and so if you speak hosing you can get through it and sort of find out who's not genuine who's genuine and yet most people in the scene people who are watching these videos will not hose people I know my viewers it's not this is the dirty practice man it's like it's really not part of the game you know yeah anyway okay that's that sort of like that you know I called him up he was a really nice guy like okay if you if I got hosed I'd be shocked put it that way okay I guess I was just surprised because for him to go up because he had to package it up and mail it out that was extra effort for him right well I told him I told him just to chuck it in the stock box and just open it up and post it in the stock box oh yeah just save an effort man yeah like I don't expect him like I just I'm really interested in the card and a video with it too so just a different content but we'll go through some of these deals and then we can join joint chat and see what's cracking and chat I think we got one more deal here now it's a free pieces Wow free free yes so he was telling me his neighbor was Matt Matt's neighbor I think though Matt was the guy giving it away you know I think the guy just gave me his email address didn't say anything just said he ran across the road saw this PC on the road and picked it up again and then took it and it's good I mean you look at you got a specs at 80 plus power supply and two echos while it's 500 watt you've got a thermal right cool who's like a h 55 motherboard as apparently had an eye five six six one in it and a gigabytes of RAM I mean okay who wouldn't want that I mean that's absolutely score I mean all you got to do is go on now Aliexpress if you're going with a sort of low range gravis card maybe like a GT if you're going with maybe seventy eight fifty or something or what you have to do is grab it x thirty four thirty four seven bucks and you're good to go now you've got yourself a gaming PC for like next to nothing that will play for tonight that will play some of it like dota 2 and csgo and stuff and absolute phenomenal price performance so free you can't beat that in terms of price performance yeah even with all three and catch-up cables did you see what the rating was for that power supply would that be transferable or you think it's kind of like a low-end like 300 watt or something and antica one of the makers who legitimately state their wattage ratings so that would be good solid they can be 400 watts on the 12 volt I'm guessing which is a solid power supply so they make solid power supplies and tech they always have Delta you know FSP these are some of my go-to is when you look at those power supplies obviously there's so many dodgy brands that you've never heard of before you check the 5ug easiest way guys easiest way to tell a dodgy power supplies to look at the 5 volt rail and then look at the 12 volt rail on the specs if the 5 volt rail has more amperage available you then just don't even bother using that in a build it's dodgy or are you still coming in under your hamper agenda foul I see it all the time when I'm you dealing with these potatoes man I think he's frozen to your webcam Oh am i can you see me or can you hear me I can hear you but you just like a frozen I know let me undo the thing and bring you back up you just cut it there yeah yeah yeah I just but you just became a man before so I mean yeah and so basically I mean I had a brain fart what was it just we're talking about 12 volt and by boat really yes okay great so yeah if you see the five volt rail for instance like 22 amps 22 a and then you look at the 12 volt rail is like 12 a it's all about that low yahoos I've seen it I see it yes some of these potatoes I'm pulling apart and that power supply just chuck it in the garbage is it's rubbish so anyway that's so that's what we're looking at now so we're gonna move over to chat now I can see chat live as well okay this time I'm more organized we've got a new template as well for hot used metal let me know in the great yes we got nerd on budget he's uh Danny's just yeah he's really loving the deals hunts sort of like and that's why I was talking with a few friends some people like to do volume flipping you know they'll go out and buy like ten pre-built and then they'll put in brand-new gravis cards and make a hundred bucks I've never really been keen on that I've always been keen on just getting the deals as cheap as possible yeah making something that's really good price performance that's sort of like when my passion lies about how about you yourself uh same here I don't go out and buy tons of stuff at a time I actually haven't be doing a lot of crisis deals lately but I've been buying things on my eBay surprisingly if you can snipe up the deals right when they pop up and I only usually build like one or two systems at a time I know you usually have a lot more sitting around right in your but you're doing this full-time so it's a nightmare moment dude that's why I I just got so many pieces and now I'm gonna give a few away and decent different different contents gonna be a lot of cool content coming I've almost finished the backlog and it looks like there's not a whole lot new stuff coming in which is great I've been dying just I've been dying for a break I've been like please can I have a break I want to get the sr2 build done this month the gym video people want to know about the tales like they don't want the health video my guys on a hardware channel but everyone wants the health video so yeah my just turn it into tech health city or something so are you going to bring your camera to the gym and like I just have videos of you working out okay yeah now you just go midnight dude Bonanza oh okay yeah I don't yeah I just I wouldn't want dudes like yeah just feels awkward yeah I do want to show people like some of the workouts they can do to sort of combat sigh yeah and the most important thing is gonna come out of it sort of like it's a bit of everything and you stay you just own the game but yeah I think that would cool to see because I think a lot of I mean I'm not sure any other tech tuber has been focusing on stuff like that and just given the nature of computers and us sitting there and like you said RSI repetitive strain injury right it's just something that a lot of people don't really think about and that just degrades your health over time slowly as opposed to like like you know major damage happening from like twisting something wrong or something so yeah I think that'd be really useful to see and you know we gotta make it so that nerds are fit again and like in good shape and you know swole because though we do have a bad reputation for being kind of like hunchback skinny you know yeah and all there is so many uh was a pre conception whatever about yeah yeah so me Sarah Jobs yeah I mean sometimes they've they've validated and warranted but sometimes of course they're not so I think I honestly think part of our generation as well came up like I mean I'll still know a few of my friends the other day we came up and we were like you know Friday Saturday were party Sunday was like StarCraft brood war and it was like well you mixed you mix the inert in with the whole social thing and you just got social nerd and then I guess now is like the newer generations coming up they're like the rise of the the cool geek like it's actually cool to be a nerd it is yeah yeah which is kind of bizarre yeah anyway but if anyone's got any questions we'll move over to chat a little bit and maybe even me and Danny might stick it I mean if Danny wants to debate on my mom just hit him up on the spot it's too late oh yeah for sure I'm Joe Speer like like 1 hour nap earlier before they go he's good to go he's pumped that's exciting that so I'm really pumped as well actually speaking of the gym I will be going to the gym late tonight as well so maybe I'll get some recordings there oh yeah so if you want super chat you got everything is the donation thing so oops I'm looking out don't you have the donate guys I'm doing pretty well don't worry lately things have been okay and you know like don't like with the whole money thing I talk about money on the channel that's fine I'm transparent about it but you know I never want to be making dirty easy money like I always feel like I want to grind for my money have to work for it and speaking to you know I went to a YouTube thing yesterday and you know people will win yeah just in Brisbane it was like this YouTube convention thing and people just everyone was there like a lot of people just whinging about views and money and I'm like I'm just like man for me it doesn't like doesn't bother me man like I've been grinding all my life I probably will be grinding for the rest of my life it's a zoo cares yeah that's the nature of it man like guys like you and me we sort of that's what we are man we just we just we keep workin man you know you just learn to enjoy that learn to be yeah the dude works hard and earns his stuff you know the thing about you talk about money and I was gonna make a video about yeah I was gonna go through my creators panel you know and you can show people exactly how much I've made so far and just to kind of be real with them with like how hard it is to be a youtuber but we're doing it not because of the money you know this is stuff that we would probably be doing because it's our hobby we would do be doing it regardless it might be step back a little bit if we had well mine's definitely step back compared to you because I have to go work a full-time job and you know take care of all that stuff first but um yeah that's what it's like for me I I'm not sure if I've told anyone this especially publicly yet like I haven't withdrawn a single dollar from YouTube or Google like you know like all the money I've made from Adsense it's still sitting there in the account you know I've been doing this funding it by myself and just you know when I flip a PC make some profit I put it back in the channel and I'm doing that because I don't want to have to depend on the money I know that's different because I have you know I'm working a full-time job but I'm trying to do that for as long as possible just because I don't want money to ever be the reason I'm doing any of this you know it's gotta be like for the fun in their love of it and just you know helping other people out so yeah yeah well I'd love to see that video man that'd be that's the old video you got to do people handed me for the video they're gonna do on that one so oh yeah we got a question from Jamie Williams what's the cheapest GP you've ever bought a decent so oh I bought he bought it he bought a 984 a hundred pound okay I think he's sort of flex in there a little bit that's a really good deal man a hundred pounds what is that 2 USD I'm really bad with the conversion hundred said 130 USD ok that's that's pretty damn good that's pretty hard I'm trying to try think the best deal I've got I mean I mean I've been given cards right and I'm not gonna flail I go yeah yeah yeah what's the best pick-up good I have to think hey I'd say the 1050 t I feel like I think I got one for a hundred Australian that was really hot ok you know I think one of those ten I've got to 1050 tea eyes for really cheap and one of them was it's so cheap I think it was like a hundred bucks I'm pretty sure off the top of my head it was close out of that or 100 110 that was a really hot deal oh yes super cheap yeah like that was that was really good that was probably one of the best of God I have picked up other deals like I mean ages ago I picked up a 780 that was sort of just had metal thermal paste and I cleaned it a lot pickle that really cheap but now that's that deal back then is not really a good deal now you know back over two years ago picked that off like 110 120 USD or something so there's been some really hot deals I mean I constantly come into grabs cards that are solid prices yeah but the really good prices you know they come they come here and there so yeah that's it everyone everyone loves a good deal and what about you Danny what's your cheapest grams per Pig it's funny because my cheapest one is its cheapest I think buy discount and not actually my dollar amount because it was actually a high-end card which is my personal card which are shown right here it's sitting in my system it's the if you can oh you can't even see that but it's a gtx 1070 it's the let's see which version was oh it's the for the win edition but so this was I picked this up during like the peak of the cryptocurrency you know crisis I guess you can call it that so I mean 10 70s were being sold for 400 many bucks and the guy let it go to me for $200 so I mean I still paid I mean 200 there's a lot but percentage-wise compared to what I was worth at the time there's less than 50% you know and it's is actually the most powerful graphics card that I personally owned I've never had a 1080 or 1080i myself or a 7010 semi key I so yeah I'm really curious with the audience out there the moment was there anyone out there that coughed up the money the over did anyone go out and borrow Christ's 980ti or 90/10 70t ir a-- tensor did anyone just cough it up they're like I've got to have this 1080 I'm gonna play this breaking my game take my 1000 USD for the 10 8 was there anyone who got ripped off no because I feel I told you guys last set everyone just weighed out things will get better and they did it took a long time though because remember the prices started going up last year around like March timeframe and we've only recently started seen them come down the last couple of months right so that was the whole year like I know two people who already have their own systems right they can just sit with what they have and just coast but a lot of people are trying to get into the market and it was that sucks to have to wait another year when you have nothing yeah so I can see why this might have a lot of the gutters like not just held out held out how that exactly that's good maybe this gives rise to a new strat as well because we're talking about hot used matters we'll do this last matter and then we'll probably get on out of here do you think it's a good idea then to have a little stash a little safe box with maybe like a gtx 770 in there or something just just in case you know a tad bit of ddr3 memory and just just in case things go just vom be apocalyptic currency mining it probably all happens at the same time you open the stash box and you're like yeah I can still play some PC games here flip this a PC that was one of the the things that I was telling a lot of my viewers and I think a lot of people were kind of preaching this was basically you know just get something to hold you over I'm assuming they don't have anything on it's like for us it's really easy because we kind of just have hardware on hand so if anything happy we can just grab something like that right but our selling people just you know grab something that hasn't touched by or hasn't been affected which we're kind of the lower end cards older generation cards grab that hold on to it until the prices come down so yeah that's definitely a good strategy yeah geez gets 960s as well I'd say in the u.s. that'd be a good play if you looked for many gtx 960 s oh yeah I've had a couple while you can usually find them for around like seventy to ninety which I think I mean given their performance you know you're gonna be at medium to high 1080p that's that's perfectly fine yeah that's good the audience is switched on as well like that love you guys so much big thanks to Danny for coming out on the show today he's channels in the link in the description below he really just is the deal hunter as well he gets some really good deals he's always sort of in that culture I love it go check his channel out if you haven't already and we're gonna move over now to twitch alright okay so yeah I'm gonna do the patron livestream over there of course that doesn't get featured on the YouTube channel I'm not sure what yeah like I heard there's some new rule with twitch as well that you can't talk about or something like that's one more single video about it you just talked about at the end of an hour stream that we chose oh okay rock on I got you know yeah okay alright guys thanks

parts if you can get them at discounts like 66 hundred K those levels ddr4 bundles with those motherboards and stuff that's definitely a hot play some of those old servers Sandy Bridge servers they look really good as well definitely keep your eye out front because they've got those i7z on equivalents in there and also of course gtx seven series cards are always hot GT x 9c ruiz comes in the high-end series I think 680 yeah yep so that's basically what's coming out of this episode keep your eye out and we'll catch you guys in another tech via various I see everyone and you do peace out
