a lot of the time people ask me for tips and tricks with selling PCs today we're gonna go through three different builds what goes through my head when I'm going to sell some of these pcs and sort of a little bit of a vlog process on especially one of the builds that I picked up recently the 5820k and it does look a little bit sort of like it could use some tech yes loving so that's exactly what we're gonna give to it today a bit of tech yes loving but there's two other builds as well one being a Lenovo build which we're gonna take a look at there because I've never attempted to do a ring piece on a lenovo case and then also we've got the preparation of a Call of Duty PC which probably might even get its own separate video too who knows also for those wondering about the three dollar cooler we're testing it right now on a build and it's running UniGene Heaven super quiet and this has been going for over half an hour so we're testing the side panel off first and temperatures are absolutely fine and here we have a side panel on and nothing blew up we're only running about two degrees hotter on average I'd say than we were before and we've also got a really nice aesthetic there it is guys the three dollar cooler and this is the tests that are I think of way more real-world is how it runs in games and stuff rather than how it's going to actually run in a full out of 64 stress test and even then we've got airflow from these two front fans that it otherwise wouldn't have got on an open air test bench so here's this build here 5820k it's the case is really ugly in my opinion there's it's a jungle sandwich inside and it needs a different graphics card i had a gtx 770 so what we've done already is we pulled 16 gigabytes of ddr4 out because having 32 gigabytes for gamers really doesn't give them any appeal and you're just honestly throwing money down the toilet with the price of ddr4 memory but we've also got the fractal design focus g this is a great case i find especially in australian pick this thing up first sometimes on sales for under $80 to white LED fans white ascetic clear side panel breeze to build with definitely adds about to a build and then we can use this potato case for something else too but without a Silas Poole old pod give it a bit of test yes loving and then see the final product so we just pulled this cooler off and there's a couple of things like this bracket just came off so it was just free bowling on one side god I was probably having heat problems and then we've got these white gooey stuff I've never come into a batch of this stuff that's worked anywhere near decent so looks like toothpaste and it probably performs even worse than toothpaste toothpaste actually does a decent job in terms of thermal transfer but anyway hopefully all the bads out of the way we can get on with the good and there's our build all ready to go the SSD that came with it already had Windows 10 prints stalls we don't have to do any fiddling around this thing is all good to go there is the repurposed rig there and now quickly after finishing this build I check some deals and an i7 870 whole system came up for ninety five dollars I click the Buy It Now button and then I put in the coupon code so I've got this for $90 and it's just up the road pickup so we're gonna go pick up this PC and see what we're getting for ninety ozzie dollars which would be like under 70 US dollars really cheap anyway so we'll go back before it's really late and I realized that we're driving up the highway and with twenty minutes up the highway and I didn't have the guy's address and so I messaged him and he finally got back to me really late tonight and so we're gonna go pick that up tomorrow and yeah just one of those things that happens but I've also been training every day going to the gym so I want to get look the best I can for the upcoming health video for you guys gonna be dropping that in three-part series I'm gonna go crash out now and then we're gonna hit this up in the morning and here we are the next day with the lenovo motherboard i got this in the recent parts hunt for 85 bucks it's got a nice three in it so what we're gonna do is take the i3 out and put in this little chip here the i-5 2400 because I do want to test this in a few titles especially with an Rx for 80 see if we can handle for instance the latest Forza 4 and also this case here is going to be a little bit of a problem and there's a little novo case but it looks like it's from a different generation as we've tried to line up all the sensor connectors and you can see that they use these proprietary connectors so it is a little bit of a problem to get it working from the get-go but hopefully we should be good to go once we get it installed and shouldn't cause too much problems hopefully fingers crossed so here it is here now it's really messy but that's just by default with the case there's really nothing you can do about it because these drives here they have to face forward because there's no options on the back it's just blocked off completely and then we've got a lot of proprietary connectors that are just going all over the place so I figured since it doesn't have a transparent side anyway I've done my best to sort of minimize the jungle over here and yeah it's still a little bit messy but hey if it switches on then it'll be awesome but on the note of switching on I don't even know if it will because some of the priory connectors down here we're actually a little bit different so I've just plugged them into in and sort of hoping and praying that they'll work so here's the PC here it actually boots up I was really surprised because this connector as I said before I just plugged it in and sort of on a plunge of faith it's not really connected properly but yeah it was connected to the power button so some of these other connectors they seem to be working fine the USB front actually works too and the good thing is this grabs card here the AMD graphics card the rx series works off of this board and I mean Lenovo have even gone in and put in a red LED fan I'm really happy right now so here it is here here's the final product of this PC it actually looks really nice in my opinion for a non-transparent side paneled case surprise Lenovo could actually pull something this decent-looking off and everything works so that's pretty cool we repurposed the case so someone gave it away it was just junked to them so free case and then the power supplies a budget power supply and then we've used that $85 rig and then $180 our X 480 that we picked up in the parts on so we've got ourselves a PC for around about 350 ozzie dollars here and it just screams price performance and last tip here on the desk is we're gonna do this today but I figured some of these pots are really nice and since a lot of you guys wanted me to talk about this in depth the overclocking on the sixth gen I 5s and since this apparently is a really good bin because it's low power consumption I figured would turn it into a separate video and with Forza 4 just being released I figured this could be a Forza 4 PC I mean look at this case now I think about it's not the prettiest case but it looks like a bit of a race car it's got that race car vibe we'll get a Superman shot of it there we go it was a bit of wd-40 in the shot look at that Forza 4 there's a thumbnail right there so now it's finally time to go pick up that i7 PC and check out what's inside so we just got back now and here's the Dell Vostro and it's looking good I mean 90 ozzie dollars for all this absolute bargains got that i7 87 in it so we're going to be doing a whole separate video with this where I've got some rather dubious plans to use this for something so you have to stay tuned but I know you guys won't forgive me if I didn't at least give it a phase-one check yes love him here it is right here on the table a brand new Dell Vostro never been used before I mean come on if that doesn't bring up the PC really nice then I don't know what does and here we are now with the conclusion of what should you do a different price points in different pcs and what I took you through today was sort of a little bit of a thought process that goes through my mind I always want to make sure that the case the powerplay and all the other stuff matches the certain price point like you won't see me putting a really good water cooler in a $300 PC because that's not going to add value to the PC and on the flip side you won't see me putting in a really cheap cooler in a $2,000 PC because I guess there's certain expectations at certain price points and now the easiest way to think of this is to start exaggerating the situation for instance if you're in the market for a really expensive cards $20,000 or more you are definitely going to be doing your research and you're gonna be searching everything does it have bluetooth does it have heated seats and you're eventually going to settle on something that you want whether it looks good or has the features that you're after and so you're gonna research that more but then we go to say for instance a chocolate bar $1.00 chocolate bar at the supermarket you're not gonna think twice you're gonna be like okay that looks good it's gonna taste good I've tried before $1 bang let's get it and so the thought process involved is very little and so now this same consumer behavior can then apply to flipping pcs on the low end people aren't gonna be doing too much research so they're not gonna really care too much about what you put in it of course the better a PC looks at all price points the better it's gonna sell I guess that's a given and you can get away nowadays with making pcs look good for cheap but now that we're closing out just make sure that your price points are there and match the parts high-end builds get high-end parts or even mediocre parts at best mediocre builds get mediocre parts some maybe low-end parts but make sure they're not too cheap and then low-end builds get low-end parts if you're in a high-end build for example do not put low-end parts in a high-end build because most people will be doing their research at that higher level and will spot that out and then they won't be too keen to buy it but anyway guys what we saw with those two builds today the 5820k build we changed the case around to add some value we added a water cooler and now it's in my opinion a much better higher-end build that will sell quicker the mid-range build the Lenovo build put in a mid-range case matched everything up in my opinion is looking sweet and it's good to go and with all that said I hope you enjoyed this video if you did then be sure to hit that like button let us know in the comment section below do you have any tips and tricks of your own when it comes to sorting out different price brackets and different price ranges love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and I'll catch you in the next Tech video very soon peace out for now play
