so currently there's a crisis at the moment if you own a new PC or you built one with ddr4 memory and a new graphics card then currently you're in a good spot but what about those people who want to get into PC gaming they don't know what to do was ddr4 Ram prices are through the roof graphics cards are scanning sold out everywhere and in that case what you have to do is pull up some deals jump in your car and go hustle and that's exactly what we're gonna be doing this month in January PC part son of the month so let's take a look at what we can get welcome back to tech yes it is brand coming to you guys today with that time of the month and it's that good time of the month not that bad time of the month if you're in a relationship so the last couple of months we have accumulated enough graphics cards to write out this current short supply and apparently it's actually hitting the used graphics card market at the moment as well people are looking for cheap seven 80s cheap six 80s even and they're snapping him up I have been eyeing off the deals throughout the month and whenever a graphics card does come up a gun tree on a good price people just snap it up straight away so with that aside we're gonna pull up a heap of different deals this month and see if we can get some of those awesome prices but of course last month what we did was we went to the US and then we went back to Australia and put on a bit of a US accent and you know it was pretty funny because people will laugh and all around the world at that accent but this month we're doing things a little bit different we're bringing the UK to Australia and we're gonna get them deals so now first deal we're pulling up here is a whole computer with a 78 70 and also an i5 750 so we've got a gigabytes of RAM p55 motherboard so we're gonna see if we can drop in an offer of 200 Australian dollars now guys want Australian dollar is weaker than a US dollar so keep that in mind I'll put up the prices so if you're in the US and you get a little bit confused you can just convert these dollars in Australia's to us and you'll get a figure of what we're talking about but I'm gonna offer 200 Australian dollars for this computer see if they'll take it and if they do then we're getting ourselves a pretty good deal you have read you have read all right so we've got no answer there we'll try again later because that is a pretty good deal if we can get it for the sad price but let's move on to the next deal now someone has a 2007 when Wow was cool power gaming PCs so I don't know man I said I was pretty much done with ddr2 and whatnot but if I can pick this up and say $30 then I've got myself a possibly another csgo potato build if that's what you guys would want to see because people were a quest than I do another CSCO potato and if I can pick this up to super cheap then we've got ourselves an awesome video let's try it out hello Levi I saw you got an ad on gumtree humate yeah I just for $45 for a 2007 where was quietly yeah oh sorry you still got I've got literally $30 in while literally wallet mate would that be something you'd take you mate I could do I could do that mate you don't want Texas yo dress do you want Texas your address and I'll come pick her up yeah sounds good mate thanks mate right so we scored ourselves the first deal here for $30 doesn't come with a hard drive we'll find something we'll see what we can do I know I do have like a spare stick of ddr2 memory so I'll probably be able to make like 4 gigabytes of to memory and do something quirky with this PC to hopefully bring it up to speed and make it a modern-day csgo potato and now the next thing we got up here is $400 negotiable on some computer parts so there is some juicy deals to be had here I mean twelve gigabytes of ddr3 it's pretty decent as an SSD and there's also gtx 780 except that $400 is kind of when you add up all the different parts individually it's $330 so I was gonna drop in an offer of like $200 for all these parts and even then that kind of be fair games so I'll see if they take that for those three parts okay so next up now we've got a person selling a desktop components for sale so they've got three different drives in this deal a power supply a GTX 780 Ti and also some other weird stuff like a blu-ray player don't need that so we'll drop in an offer of say $350 as the power supply looks pretty decent and the drives look pretty decent too so hopefully they'll take 350 if we come in with that lovely UK accent okay that was super weird that didn't even ring like I tried ringing the number didn't even ring at all so we'll just manually drop our offer down and see if they accept so and now they're saying the offers too low so we'll actually just leave that be so now next deal we got up here is a gaming PC that apparently doesn't boot up that it does have an i7 4790k GTX 970 and also sixteen gigabytes of RAM good pals bleh everything looks pretty decent on this whole build and they say they don't know what's wrong they suspect it's the motherboard of the CPU and I would be inclined to think that it's the motherboard in this case because CPUs rarely die especially if you haven't been overclocking in looks like this PC hasn't really been overclocked I mean if they knew how to overclock they'd probably know how to diagnose the problem as well that's just my guess but we're gonna throw in an offer of around 450 Aussie dollars on this because it's currently asking 700 but of course it's 700 I think they are not selling it so let's give them a call okay josh is not answering his phone either and we're doing this on a Sunday as well so hmm lately that's been a trend that's happening people just aren't picking up their phones on the weekend so I might have to change it to like a Monday night or something these parts hunts if this continues if this trend continues so now lots of the deals we've got up here is a 24 inch 1080p monitor name probably thinking why do I need this I actually want it to in that previous vlog that I did where I completed this whole studio I was gonna use this 32 inch monitor on the stream desk but it was too big so now I need or I think I need another 24 inch monitor so I found picked this up for 50 bucks that's a pretty good deal on 1080p 24 inch monitor so we're gonna give them a call and they're just around the corner as well so that would be really cool as well so let's try it this six one four three nine six one so we've been waiting for a couple of hours now the lady from Brisbane got back to us and said she would only take 220 so it's a little bit above my wanting price because I'd have to drive all the way up to Brisbane and that's a lot of time and gas as well so I was kind of firm on 200 though it looks like we've only really landed the potato PC at the moment cuz the guy with the three different sets of parts he um he yeah he's like he wants two hundred dollars just for a seven eighty so yeah it's one of those months I think where we just got a bit of a fail going on but on other good news eBay did have this 20% off sale on Ozzy sellers and I managed to pick up an ASA GTX 1050 TR laptop with one single 16 gigabyte ram stick so that'll allow me to put in 32 gigabytes of RAM and I'll now have a travel laptop so I'm constantly changing my travel PCs around and this looks like everyone's been telling me to just change to a laptop rather than a mini ITX so I'm gonna give the laptop a try if it's good then I'll probably sell the travel PC recoup a heap of the costs and see the differences because this little laptop the $1,300 is a really good deal its Australian dollars and it comes with all the bells and whistles I need as well because it comes with USB type-c and I can use that for a DisplayPort for the stream setup as well so I've got some options here and they're looking pretty good but that aside let's go pick up that potato and also from a couple of months ago Mitch he sent me a message he was a guy who had the x58 that needed tuning and he gave me some memory for that do you still have both ads available he needs a DisplayPort cable so I'm gonna head around and he said he'd just got some spare parts lying around so I'm just gonna go for a bit of a drive on the Gold Coast and hopefully yeah we can pick up that potato by the time we go see Mitch so now just go back and it's pretty late and I ended up picking up that piece see the guy messaged me very late and I was actually just hanging out with Mitch we'll drinking some beer and watching the tennis man that Federer finale was just amazing tennis is really popular here in Australia especially for watching it I love watching it it's just on fire and let's go take a look at this PC see what we've got here 275 so I think they set a GTX 260 in the auction not too sure so that's actually a bonus this will go really well for a csgo potato and we've got here two sticks of memory now said three gigabytes I think in the ad but upon checking this out it's actually four gigabytes so to two gigabyte sticks that is pretty awesome - the only thing I'm not really liking at the moment is the power supply which it looks like it's pretty bad I mean 16 amps on the 12 volt line with the GTX 275 is not gonna give me much room to breathe and in fact it might not even work properly if I change the power supply around and put a quad core in this thing I think it could really get up and boogie and be better than the last csgo potato we made of course that question is probably running on your mind does this PC even boot well let's do it like the old fashioned tech s city days and see if it boots and we booted up and there's a signal coming out so that's really good news I'll be able to work some magic with this PC hopefully give it a proper cleanse and introduce you guys to the next csgo potato now it is pretty late at night and I'm gonna run this PC parts hunt over two days because the person who I offered two hundred dollars to initially they've come back tonight and they've said sure I'll take the offer and so two hundred Australian dollars for that PC is actually a pretty good deal if it does have the 7870 a good power play case motherboard and all that stuff in the ad it actually is a really good deal considering the market at the moment and now speaking of the market at the moment it's actually a pretty rough market at least on the Gold Coast here what I've noticed especially in this January compared to last year's January is that there's a lot more hustlers out there picking up deals and you can tell because of the amount of PCs that are for sale on gumtree itself there's all these gaming PC's pretty much now popping up with very similar specs to what I'll sell on my gaming PC's on gumtree as so a lot more hustlers I think and with that of course it's a lot harder to snap up deals but of course I'm gonna keep hustling for those deals and I'll be trying to look for a new avenue to get those really good deals but Aliexpress definitely looks like a good road to take and I'll be doing a lot more research on Aliexpress in the next couple of months seeing what PC's we can put together like complete systems to get around not in the cryptocurrency boom but also the used PC parts hustler boom it's now the next day and I just got back from Brisbane also earlier in the morning I did the overclockable used CPUs top five for early 2018 so stay tuned for that and this PC 200 astray lien dollars it came with that I five seven fifty but also the motherboard is really good it's a P 55 UD four it's got an antique power supply deep cool tesseract case also the eight gigabytes of ddr3 memory is going to make this thing a legit gaming PC now the only thing that's wrong with it really is the hard drive it comes with a 120 gig like laptop drive so the guy must have taken the old hard drive out and put that one in just as he was selling it wanted to keep his nice hard drive but it doesn't really matter because that drive will be the perfect drive for that new potato that we're gonna be building and we'll have to put in another drive with this but they also threw in a 7870 because it wasn't there initially and then I asked about I said like yo you said 7870 in the ad so it had also a GT 710 or something so I've got two graphics cards with this deal really nice deal honestly but of course it looks like a jungle sandwich it looks filthy gonna have to clean it up but of course let's check if the does boot and of course that 7870 also works as well so here's a computer here it is booting absolutely fine booting into Windows and there it looks like there's no problems at all with any of the hardware so that's two for two we did not get hosed at all with these PC parts this month and really makes a good hunt when you get some good deals like I was thinking coming into this that I was gonna get absolutely no deals at all and I mean quickly before we go on with conversation I mean check out that jungle sandwich I mean that is some next-level like jungle I haven't seen a jungle like that in a while especially with the limited cables and limited hardware so there it is guys this month was yet again another success we got two really good deals on whole pcs the graphics card market looks like it was drying up a bit but thankfully in the last few months I have been stockpiling those really good deals that I was getting on GTX 780 s even 780ti s and that's the thing that's why I really encourage you guys if you see a deal always hit it up even if you've got too much like for instance when I was in Japan I was smashing those x58 motherboards because I knew they were really good value for money I was just hitting them up I think I brought back I think it was I got nine of them but my friend in Japan he wanted three of them so I ended up hooking him up three of those and I brought back six with me as well as getting those power supplies which I've now all used to this date so a lot of those parts I stockpile but I also use them so when you come into a good deal if you're looking to build a PC and you see even another really good deal and snap it up because if you're one of those guys who bought a few gtx 780 s and you could probably turn around and flip them for a bit of profit and that can go towards getting yourself better parts in your current PC so what we've got here - awesome pcs let me know in the comment section below what you'd like to see especially done with this PC here I haven't decided what I'm gonna do with this PC but the other PC is going to be the next csgo potato so January ended up to be a really good month but also some other really good news is I've finally got my mbn confirmed so in 9 days I'll have really good internet being hooked up in the studio that'll just allow me to upload more videos get back to streaming as well so the tech lounge will be returning as well and that's about it for this PC part son of the month for January 2018 if you guys have any suggestions for PC parts that you want me to hunt next month then be sure to hit me up on
