How I Hustled BARGAIN PC Parts in Los Angeles (Day 2)

2019-01-04
welcome back to day two of the used PC parts hunting in LA and yesterday if you guys haven't seen it already I'll put the link up here we scored some pretty big deals today we're lining up a few different deals some of them promises from yesterday but already I've scored a gtx 1050 for $80 so i'm gonna go pick that up pretty soon but then after that we're gonna go later into the evening hopefully be picking up that i 560 400 system with ddr4 2 terabyte hard drive motherboard cooler and all that jazz for a hundred and eighty dollars as well as picking up a 1050 TI for a hundred dollars this will pretty much complete everything but i also still need to go hunt for possibly another power splay and a case so we're gonna hit the road right now get that 1050 and then see what's after that so we just picked up a GTX 1050 for 80 bucks while we're on the road and it's pretty good value at that price it's not the best price but it's certainly far from the worst and of course if I'm putting together some cheap pcs something like this will always come in handy especially at the right price and considering we've got those OMS with their built-in power supplies that you'd really want to reuse especially when we're paying 35 bucks for a power supply so that kind of adds value when you get signed you can just quickly fit in and it works and it's good to go and from here on in I'm meeting up with the viewer actually two years ago I first met up with him when I was in the US for the first time his name is Vic and we're gonna go grab a bike quickly and then after that we might go hit up some more deals but it's crazy in the winter here it gets dark so early like five o'clock it starts getting dark so we've got a little bit of an update here we're just about to eat some burgers Troy's Vick recommended that they make really good burgers here so gonna have a feed and we're lining up at GTX 1084 266 dollars it's on an application called offer up and apparently that's really good way to get deal besides that we are picking up the deal on that eye five sixty four hundred later today and that's coming through we're gonna meet the guys seven pm and they've said that they will meet up and take the offer of one hundred eighty dollars so I'm super keen to go get that deal and straight off we're gonna pick out the GTX ten v2 TI but in terms of the GT x 1080 I'm not too sure how that's going to go down because the guy does live at Riverside and that's really far from anywhere in LA itself so regardless we're gonna go pick up that PC right now and see what's inside I'm really curious about it they were quickly gonna smash this down beforehand so we just ended up getting this deal for the i-5 6400 that was the one that I really wanted to pick up and we got that for 180 cash there's also some really good news with that but I got to wait until the guy bought it off gets back to us because if it all goes well and we could get like a super mega deal out of that so keen to hear back from that but at the moment there is a case with some LED fans on it we're gonna pick that up for $35 so that's looking pretty good cause it's right near where we're staying but the GTX 1050 TI the guy hasn't got back to us yet so I'll see if I can pick that up maybe tomorrow cuz it's all like pretty far like la is one big city but we'll go get that case right now that looks like the best option so just go back to the hotel now and this is the $35 case we've picked up it's got a tempered glass on the front tempered glass on the side and three red LED fans honestly it feels like it's a really good case I'm really happy with this for the money I pegs it's pretty much brand new I don't think they've even used it before as it's got the stickers still on it but moving over to the main prize here this is the ace of desktop that we picked up just before and this has got an i-5 6400 in it so it's got a nice 6 gen quad core it's got a single stick of a gigabytes of RAM so we could upgrade this to a 16 gig system but the best thing about this case is since it is an eyesore OEM and you know with some OEMs you can have a lot of trouble if there's proprietary connectors there's actually no real proprietary connectors here they're even using an FSP power supply so we can take this power supply out of this case and use it over there for that build with the half so we've got two different builds kind of getting pieced out here but quickly going over this case stills we've got USB three front and we've got two SATA ports so be able to use the two terabyte hard drive as well as an SSD in this build and we've got front audio out and included Wi-Fi too so really not bad going for the money one thing I'll have to be careful of is to also pull out this sensor when I ditch the case because if you don't pull out the senses sometimes you can get error messages and things don't work properly so pull that out as well but really happy overall with the deals we've got so far if I had to piece this together we're gonna have a absolute beast with a 1070 TI SSD new power supply Corsair cooler hi-5 6400 and a gig ram 2 terabyte hard drive all for about 520 so far I'm just considering maybe putting in another a gigabytes of ddr4 memory and maybe nice seven and spicing things up to pretty much make it like kind of high-end for a budget so that's one thing I'm still gonna think of this one here is really straightforward this one I'm thinking of calling this the L a bang job or the L a BJ this is got a $20 1/2 case $55 rig and we can reuse the hard drive and then put in today's gtx 1050 and we'll have a whole system here for a hundred and fifty five bucks so this will be a really good budget PC that we'll put together and show you guys very soon so here we are to close with day two and I'm really happy because we got two builds getting pieced out one which is a definite go ahead the other which I'm still a little bit conflicted about day three will may be homed in on an i7 and perhaps an extra a gigabytes of RAM because we still hopefully have the choices I will have to check that BIOS if it can be updated to support the next generations for instance the i7 7700 but so far so good I mean this is a build that is looking like it's going to be high-end thanks to that $35 case even though we didn't pay a whole lot for it it actually looks really high-quality we got a 1070 TI decent power supply SSD hard drive everything's there so if we add another a key about two ddr4 at an i7 6700 then it'll just really complete that build in my opinion make it something special make it something pretty much high-end especially since I know how to overclock that 1070 TI and make it practically a 1080 but if you guys can let us know in the comment section below what do you think you'd like to see me do would you like to see me upgrade it or just keep it as is and go with the i-5 and eight gigabytes of RAM because that's ready to go so we've got two builds that are definitely coming while we're on the road hustling but other than that today we didn't do a whole lot because I did do a bit of sightseeing I did see a friend Vic who was actually on a different application offer up he reckons that's the whole go in LA for getting pretty good deals I was telling them about Facebook marketplace and pretty much that's the only app that I've been on so far getting deals I have looked through Craigslist but they haven't been as good as the Facebook marketplace and so if I'm getting all these deals on Facebook marketplace I don't really need to hop across to offer up or Craigslist just yet but for this 6,700 I may be just doing that seeing what I can get and also that extra gigabytes of ddr4 I just have to keep on the lookout for those two upgrades also did a bit of retro console games hunting some of the games that I grew up on as a kid there's this really cool place called game dude that's where everyone seems to go to get and all that side la has just been an absolute blast right now I've just been driving around having a lot of fun the 1050 Ti it was a little bit late so we'll probably go pick that up tomorrow and while we're up that way we might see another friend just depends on sort of organizing the times and the maps because la is such a huge city I didn't realize how big this place is and still you start driving around all these different places and when you kind of accept a deal here I guess you kind of got to consider which part of LA that person is from because for instance Vic was looking for the GTX 1080 on offer up but when we looked at the distance it was literally over two hours away still within LA it was like pretty much on the way going to Vegas so maybe when we're going to see yes we might stop off and get that deal if it's still available I'm not too sure just yet this is what hitting the road is all about you guys you know you said in the comments before just drop me in a jungle and I'll have a gaming PC ready and I was pretty much what's going on man then just drop me anywhere and I'll figure out what's what the locals are sell on their Starfire peace stuff together mix and match because the synergy we got from the budget PC was that were able now to pull out the FSP power play and use that in the budget rig and that's gonna fit in the half really well so that $155 PC stay tuned for that because it's gonna be some of LA's finest I don't guys hope you enjoyed day 2 of the PC parts hustling if you did then be sure to hit that like button I do have to edit these videos down it does take quite a while as well but day 3 we'll see what's going on if I don't end up picking up any of these pieces then I will just go ahead with the builds and you'll see it build out on the channel not too sure what I'll do yet as I'm mixing and matching everything doing the hustling editing the videos and trying to enjoy myself it's just always full-on but I guess that's what 2018 was like 2019 is gonna be nothing different so stay tuned and I'll catch you in the next one also let us know in the conversation below what your favorite deal was thus far and I'll see you very soon peace out for now bye you
