welcome back to tech yes City and today I've got a new meta for you guys a meta is basically most effective tactic available it came from MOBAs when they released updates and they changed heroes and then those new strategies that were more effective so when it comes to used parts hunting we're gonna start using that word and what's the most effective tactic available to pick up them deals so now this all came about because my brother wants to finish off his corsair bulldog and basically the corsair bulldog only comes with a mini ITX motherboard in this case it's a Z 270 from MSI comes with a cooler as well a 120mm cooler and a small form-factor power supply and you also get the case but it doesn't have a hard driver and SSD it doesn't have ddr4 memory doesn't have the CPU and the GPU so I've already sold him a GTX 1080 Ti so now he just needs a CPU some ddr4 memory and an SSD and so I thought to myself with the prices of ddr4 memory being the way they are at the moment why don't we just check out good old gam tree and see if we can find a deal now if you're gonna go out and buy ddr4 memory honestly guys just save yourself some money go outside grab a hose and just hose yourself down because that's exactly what you're gonna get if you go out and buy brand-new ddr4 memory at the moment so with that I thought go look for some deals see what we can find and this came up straight away 1000 Australian dollars and now of course you're not gonna pay the asking price so it had 32 gigabytes of ddr4 memory now this would cost about at least half a grant in Australia at the moment it's ridiculously expensive but also had a 6700 K z170a Corsair 780 T and a 1,000 watt power supply and a 250 gigabyte SSD and a cooler on the actual CPU itself so I thought damn you know my brother he could pull out the 6700 K the memory and also the SSD and that's practically his whole build done and then I could use the rest to do some really cool stuff and I'm thinking EVGA sr2 motherboard Corsair 780 T thousand watt power supply we could do something with the parts left over now he offered to pay 600 Australian for all those parts he needed the memory the CPU and the SSD and that's a bargain and I said okay all the extra I get to keep but I'll get a deal on this so I offered the guy least 750 Australian and he came back like almost straight away with 850 strength so I knew he was keen to sell so I came back with 780 and I held on that and he accepted so now we're gonna go outside and go pick this beast up and see exactly what kind of a deal we're getting so we just got back now from picking up the 780 T that we picked up with all this hardware inside so it's got a cool mask looks like a tx3 cooler we've got a 6700 K 32 gigabytes of memory as well ddr4 memory in Australia alone I think this is like $500 on its own at the moment ddr4 memory is just a ripoff at the moment that's why I went to go out and buy this PC was this memory here so it's actually I just checked it out before it's 1.2 volt 2400 megahertz to so it's really good stuff if you're into overclocking memory manually as you be able to up it to 1.35 volt hopefully will at least get three gigahertz out of it and I've got the graphics card here this is the reason why I believe this whole build was cheap there was a HD 7970 in there and so generally when people go to buy pcs they look at the graphics card first because it's the most important thing for gaming and they probably saw the 79 17 they're like oh this thing ain't gonna play games - well like table G and stuff so they probably moved on yet the whole case itself the 780 T I believe in Australia this thing goes for like 250 AUD it's a very expensive case and the reason I'm just like over the moon about this whole deal at the moment is because I'll be able to I believe put the SR 2 inside this case so I think I've found the case for the Jules Eon build that I was gonna do on the channel so this is the first piece here we've also got down the bottom here a 1000 watt power supply modular as well this is the rmx-1000 what really good power supply awesome I'm glad that that came included with the build and of course we've got a z170 pro gaming I think from as rocks so that's a pretty good board on its own as well hopefully I'll be able to get maybe even an Aliexpress 4 core and drop that in the Q hqg or something like that so also included was a hundred fifty gigabyte SSD from Samsung and Evo and man I I really can't believe the value we're getting out of this so this is just a really good new strategy if you guys are into bargain hunting then seriously don't rule out the x99 systems for these z170 systems because I'm sure a lot of people are gonna be selling these to upgrade their pcs even to pre-built because this may being a prebuilt itself but I kind of doubt that with all these scary cables but upgrading people are looking to upgrade and with that they probably don't realize that ddr4 memory is so expensive they probably just think the new graphics cards and all the latest and greatest stuff is adding to the build of like a 2k plus PC and they're letting bargains like this go for next to nothing so I'm shocked I mean even if you were like a just wanting to build a new PC you can take this grabs card out clean up this whole PC give it a techie air city cleanse and you would have a awesome gaming PC for like maybe 1k USD and you'd have the latest and greatest IPC and they've even thrown in a blu-ray player as well but with that said let's pull this thing apart clean it all up and get things ready so now here's another awesome deal to top things off when I was over there they asked the guy who said do you want to monitor and I was like how much you want for it and then he said a hundred Australian dollars which would be like 75 USD and I came back and just said you know I just sat there and paused and kind of literally like 10 seconds I just sat there and paused and he's like fifty dollars and I'm like okay cuz yeah when you get when you get the sense that someone's desperate to sell that's when you're in a position of power so I was in a position of power here pick this monitor up for 50 Australian dollars it's a 1080p azouz 27-inch monitor so that's a crazy deal for the money so that was just a top everything off on the awesome deal we already got there's all those parts they're looking brand-spanking-new after a proper tech yes city cleanse we use the brake cleaner we used all that degrees i and the degrees is really cheap i went overboard this time because I didn't have much brake cleaner but I had a lot of degrees up so I used that to clean up the majority of the parts and that graphics card that 7970 was just so filthy and dirty so that got a proper cleanse as well that's looking like brand-new that 780 t is going to go really well with the build that I've got planned for it we're gonna drop that SR to motherboard in that case gonna make it fit and we've also got the 1000 watt power supply now to boot with that so we've got two extra pieces that we've picked up on a bargain so all these parts they costed me 230 Australian dollars because my brother he wanted a kid out at 6700 K like I said before and SSD and some ddr4 memory and he got a really good deal so he's paying $600 towards this build to get those pieces and I'm getting the rest sort of like a reward for my hustle and so I got a really good deal 230 a strain which would be like a hundred and seventy something USD for a monitor 1080p monitor 1000 watt power supply corsair 780 t case a cooler a z170 pro gaming motherboard and also a 79 70 and a blu-ray player too so that was just an incredible bunch of deals the motherboard even had the sticker on it so got some cool b-roll where it looks like it's brand new so that's awesome as well hopefully I'll be able to get an Aliexpress 408 threaded skylake CPU for cheap like a qhq gngo sample drop that in and make a really cool build for you guys so stay tuned for that but also one thing that I posted to Instagram as well was a big mistake that I made today when I was cleaning and that was using tire shine I accidentally just mistook it for the brake cleaner because they're both bloob cans and I started using and realized all damn this stuff's a little bit different and I realized it was tire shine so we're gonna check out now and see if the HD 7970 still works after using tire shine so that's such a bummer like the the screens like flickering and stuff now I think I might have broken it yeah I got you didn't I got you now this is the HDMI cable was pulled out halfway so that we have it tire shine even works okay I just seriously wouldn't recommend it at all it's just I made a mistake in the graphics card still works okay but keep in mind I did use the brake cleaner and degreaser after that so that probably cleaned off any conductive or capacitive chemicals and with that said today's parts hunk was just a major success I hope you guys enjoyed it new meta to the game if you guys are in the market for PC parts then be sure to check out some skylake builds or some x99 builds because if you're in the market for new parts too you can piece out a really good PC on a budget and save a lot of money especially with ddr4 prices being as expensive as they are so hope you guys enjoyed today's video if you did then be
