so everyday I constantly get asked about whether deals are good or not and also how to get into PC gaming on the cheap and so today I'm going to take you guys through some of the mindset and behind the scenes stuff that would go into my head when I look at pcs and I look at what you can do with them so first part here we'll start off with how to just get into PC gaming with fps a smooth experience stutter free and one that will give you a good experience even for titles in 2019 so basically graphics cards like this you'll want to find a good GPU whether you're gonna buy a PC of someone brand new used the graphics card is the most important part for getting games to run properly this is the gtx 750ti now you can get these for very cheap online a lot of people locally will sell them because they're upgrading their GPUs but it'll still give you a good experience at 1080p low settings or in cases of Apex legends for example you may have to drop it a 720p but in the same case you're still gonna get a smooth experience this graphics card beside it is a very good buy it's my personal favorite at the moment both on the use market and the new market since it comes in at roughly just over $100 u.s. if you buy a brand new used market you can get these things for as low as 70 US dollars so they're very good and price performance is through the roof this will play 1080p games on high settings on practically any title even in 2019 now right behind it is a key ingredient if you want to get into PC gaming on the cheap these are what we call OMS or just basically pcs that have been pre-built they're generally non overclockable but they come loaded with a motherboard a CPU some memory and in this case I got an SSD which just makes the deal that much better so Falls you wanted to do was play games and get into PC gaming the knows you'd have to do is grab this grab this card slot it into this motherboard turn the PC on and you'd be good to go you'd be actually getting a decent experience for very cheap for instance I got this PC here off a deal locally for a hundred and thirty five Australian dollars which be around a hundred USD very cheap this gravis card here I got it in on a trade-in I don't really know how to price it up but it came in on a trade-in that I gave the person a hundred ozzie dollars for and of course that came loaded with other goodies as well so I mean maybe realistically you'd be looking at around 50 Aussie dollars for something like this tops I've seen him go for cheaper but you'd have for under 200 Australian dollars a good PC gaming experience if you just went out of your way to go look for some deals and go find the right parts for you now right there is how you would get into PC gaming for very cheap and a lot of the times these motherboards will come with Windows 10 Pro pre-activated as well so you don't even have to go out and buy a CD key but if you are in the market for a Windows 10 single end user license then today's video sponsor s CD keys have you covered you can get this for as little as 13 US dollars by using the coupon TYC SK as soon as you put this in the card apply the coupon you'll get a 12 percent discount I've been using these CD keys personally and they've all checked out they're all single and user license as well so they're not that om stuff that you hear bad stories about so if you are getting into PC gaming then the links in the description below so now for this first part we're gonna take a look at how to get some of these deals even online which really pales in comparison to picking up some of those local deals but taking a quick look on eBay and this is even on the back of just coming off videos where else linking OEMs in the description so all the real good OEM deals online have been sold out I can't really find any except for this one sort of combination here we've got a Dell small form-factor 7010 series and you could couple that with something like this gtx 960 whack that into the computer and then you should have a gaming pc for like 150 US dollars just looking at what this guy did of course it will look very ugly but it should still play games especially on a budget now if you did need a 6 pin power connector you can buy a side of the 6 pin or side of the 6 + 2 pin for round $1 so this first part where there's a will there's a way if you're looking for those deals you can definitely still come into something even on ebay but something like this it doesn't look that good and around tech es city I do things a little bit different - I guess the normal guy wanting to get into PC gaming I'm looking at this thing and saying okay how much resale value could I get off this and so with that I'm going to be looking at the case how good it looks and also the specs inside there needs to be a balance between the two at different price points since this case just screams to me low budget we're gonna be putting some low budget parts in it and taking out the good stuff which in this case would really only be the SSD if we take that out we can put in say a 250 gigabyte hard drive and then also whack that 750 Ti in and then we can put it up for sale but we do have another one of these cases lying around now this has a nicer zeus motherboard inside it's also got an i5 3470 just like the last one but instead we're gonna be putting an i3 inside this thing so taking out the motherboard and then putting in a different motherboard as well as like a GT 740 then we'll have another budget PC up for sale in relation to this case and the power supplies in these although they're not anywhere near decent they still play games with low powered graphics cards absolutely fine I'd estimate that they'd have about 200 watts available reliable 200 watts on the 12 volt line and so if you're buying a power supply if you see the 5 volt beside it and that's got a higher rating that's generally an indication of a budget power play that won't power anything that requires even an 8 pin connect on the GPU for example but guys let's clean these things up and get this show on the road so there's one computer done right there and we're gonna be doing a little bit of multitasking or if you're a lady multitask yet so there's two PC's ready to go for a budget gamer obviously this is aimed at someone who isn't watching this video and doesn't want to do what I've done here and so hence that's where the premium comes on top that nothing stopping any one of you guys out there in the audience unless of course as I've said before in the past you're in a terrible location for getting deals but besides that there's nothing stopping you from just going out getting something like this budget graphics card putting together something really really budget but also still looks decent and has some good price performance so here's a bit of a different combo on the desk here this is the step up from what we just did we've got the RX 570 we've got a better motherboard we've got the same i-5 we're gonna put a gigabytes of RAM in because that's really all you need to get it into 1080p gaming of course you could put an i7 in this thing 16 gigabytes of RAM it wouldn't set you back a whole lot extra and then we've got the one terabyte hard drive coupled with the 120 gigabyte SSD very popular combo for that sort of mid-range setup where you've got enough space for your games we've also got that fastboot Drive and if your favorite game you play a lot you can put that on the SSD too now we've got a little bit of a bit power supply here it's still nothing super fancy but I speak to the guys at the local retailers they tell me the failure rates and how many of these power supplies come back this one here is not a bad option it's the little thermal tech it comes in at about 40 something Aussie dollars they don't come with any box so they're just masts bundled OEMs and you've got about 370 watts available down the 12 volt line which is perfectly fine for this combination here but right now there's this liquidation sale on the Gold Coast a computer shop is just selling out a lot of their old stuff I'm gonna go down there and check it out and see what bargains they have and also take you guys along with us so let's get on a tea so just got back from meeting up at that liquidation sale and that was Dan and he was a really nice guy and of course most most Aussies are really awesome people so if you guys are overseas if you ever come down under you have a great time but this is the z87 x0c force and this was like a really nice board we got this these three sort of mediocre boards here as well as a g1 sniper and we got two cases CMP 500s they had like 600 watt power supplies in them and also another 300 case for 370 Aussie dollars total so that's like 260 USD so that was a pretty good deal they had a lot of other like z97 and also like h1 70's and stuff like that I'm not pretty interested in that stuff at the moment because ddr4 memory and of course some of those new rise and boards they're so cheap couple with the fact that horizon 5 2600 is the price that it's at I just don't see myself buying those boards and extracting much value out of them especially for flipping or putting any other use price performance but this here of course you can always make something out of these individually I'll quickly put up a list of the prices I paid for all the parts individually at that sale but with that said let's put that off the desk and get back to whipping up this PC right here so for this next part this is where you have a lot more choice because your budget is a lot bigger than in the first scenario and so for instance for a case we could spend around $45 get a fractal design focus G this is definitely one of my favorite budget cases that still carries a very clean aesthetic for the motherboard if you can't find any of those OAM deals you can go on Aliexpress get a motherboard for around $40 a I 7 Zeon equivalent 2nd gen for around $60 and then some ddr3 and you'll still have a bare-bones kit for around about 130 dollars this should still game absolutely fine and this is readily available too so this next part is sort of mixing and matching and this CPU combo that I've listed here will definitely tee up with an rx 570 and if you're on a budget will give you great performance so I'll put some links in the description below for the second part let's keep moving on so now we're finished the mid-range PC and this one's looking pretty good it's got the red LED fan it's a little bit blinged up you've got a better GPU you've got an SSD this time around still using a very similar quad-core CPU I 535 50 so we're kind of mixing new and used parts with this next build and so that's where I'd be like you see my thinking here we've got at the lower end all use parts we're gonna get a phenomenal price performance mid-range if we want a little bit of cedex coupled with still really good price performance we can mix a bit of new in with the build now for this last grand finale we're gonna make all new parts so let's look at a higher end system we're gonna be using an Archie X 20 70 and whatnot but we'll quickly lay all the parts out on the table and then talk about that it's a pretty late at night but it doesn't matter the hustle never stops I mean I went and saw some Captain Marvel movie tonight and it was pretty good definitely an appetizer for the Avengers so I can't wait to see that but let's go all these pots on the table anyway so now the next build we got here is I guess you could say higher end gaming and still keeping the prices reasonable if I had to tell you this whole build up here I'd say it's around maybe 14 to 1500 ozzie dollars which considering this card here the 27 he does trade blows with a 1080 GI that's really not bad going and we've got 6 cores 12 threads of Rison 5 2600 goodness now of course we're gonna use the included cooler it's actually really good and then we've got a 1 terabyte hard drive and a 240 gigabyte SSD this time so we're gonna step things up and 16 gigabytes of ddr4 memory dual channel Rison definitely needs that stuff we will have to tune this to around 29 33 megahertz because that seems to be like the minimum buffer you want to get for this CPU and then get smooth performance out of it obviously a x3 70 motherboards they go for really good prices and you don't really need a high-end motherboard for the six core the eight core if you're gonna start overclocking that pretty hardcore then yes you might want to look for something like a Taichi or something better but then we've got a 500 watt power supply because we're not really gonna be overclocking this thing that hard 500 watt powers by is gonna be absolutely fine for the build and it's a decent one - I've been using a few of these they're 80 plus and they work really well however they do only work in Australia 230 volts so if you're in the u.s. definitely don't try and plug up one of these 230 volts or you'll be having a early birthday surprise but it's not really surprised it'd be like the antonyms of surprise which I don't even know that would be like a mess a shock yeah shock anyway let's build this thing put it together and then wrap it up so there's a lost PC it's finished we're installing Windows 10 on it but right now I'm really tired I'm about as tight as that guy who was counting to 1 million well I'm not that tight but in the morning we'll come back here and summarize for you guys what you can do if you want to get into PC gaming and you're on a budget that depends on what budget you're on you want to get the most for your money and you definitely want to be taking a look at both the used market and the new market but let's talk about that once my brain has recharged and here we are guys we built three different pcs at three different price ranges but my thoughts behind it were if you're on a budget you'd probably want to get the most price performance possible and that's where we looked at an OEM plus a graphics card that we can just slot in there and we'd have happy days the mid-range we can step it up to like an rx 570 be a bit more flexible with our budget to go from maybe a Xeon used and still get some really good price performance and value for money on these parts as well as getting of course that aesthetics upgrade with something like a fractal design Focus G for 45 bucks which is really good value in my opinion in Australia these cases cost like 80 Aussie dollars so that thing shipped to your door for 45 USD is a really good deal now the last part is where we're putting all new parts together and you've got a lot more flexibility and as I just showed before it's really good time to be building new PC parts and in fact I might be making a dedicated video just two new parts and how they're sort of back up on the rise again because a lot of these ddr4 prices have come down the motherboard prices are really good for new motherboards at the moment and of course the CPUs with Rison whether it be the AP use or the CPUs have really brought prices down in general and then not to mention the graphics cards the cryptocurrency boom is finished there's so many different graphics cards out there you may even wish to kind of consider buying all new parts except for the graphics cards because some of them are just going out on really good deals anyway if you liked today's video make sure you hit that like button and let us know in the comments section below what are you
