so at that time of the month for you guys the heavily requested used parts hunting and this month again we're going on good old gam tree and I've been requested to go full bogan this month so I'm just gonna do exactly that however leading up to this video I did go hunt for some hard drives and I did find a deal or thought so I thought it was and that was five one terabyte hard drives for a hundred Australian bucks around about seventy-five US dollars and then when I went to go look at him I found out that they were really old like 2008-2009 and they'd been pulled out of a servo and I'm like look this really isn't even worth $100 and they said but firm on the price so I just walked away from the deal because hard drives guys I don't know if you know but these are the most failed parts that I have on hand they're the first part that I find goes faulty on me followed by DDR memory but that aside though I really don't mind buying new hard drives and putting them into systems that I sell because the main reason is you're gonna have a happy client but also you're gonna have peace of mind not knowing that things are gonna go wrong in that PC and also with the power supplies I am running dry and power supplies and cases though the Cougar deal that I pulled up in a previous video that's really decent 469 Australian dollars you get a case and a very good power supply actually tested at 1080 TI with a fork or recently on this power splay it did extremely well there was no dips this thing was running fine no cutouts though let's get on with the hunt so as I said in the intro guys this month we're gonna be hunting for those use gravis cards it's the main component that I need as I already have those x58 motherboards already got a heap of ddr3 memory that was donated and also we can get those x58 CPUs those zealand's Holley Express for a really good price so the first deal we got up here is a GTX 780 now we tried getting this last month and they denied the offer I put in 130 a strand dolls which is really fair I think they came back at 140 but now they've got urgent up on here so we're gonna give it a call see if we can get this for 130 Australian hey Daniel how are you mate yeah I said I saw your ad on gumtree GTX 780 would you take 130 Australian for it mate okay do you want to text us your address and I'll come and pick her up okay so I had to cut some of that conversation off because Daniel actually gave out his address on the phone but we're gonna go pick that up in two hours and that's success that's the first deal first call first deal done so the next deal will got up here is Rhys enormo I believe this is the guy who has been trying to sell his GTX 970 and was telling me that a gents 60 was crap in the previous episodes we did but a GTX 1060 is like one of the best cards in terms of price performance not only from Nvidia but actually out there at the moment so it's a three gigabyte model we're gonna try and offer a maybe a hundred and ninety dollars and see if he'll take that it is the Galaxy OC Edition it's not too bad so let's give this a call hey race here you go mate yeah I saw you out on gumtree for a GTX 1060 yep yeah you got 250 would you go any lower mate 190 I can't cash and I can come pick her up how much do you want for it a 50 um I'll feel a little less but yeah one dollies I just rather keep an eye put up the system I was gonna attend Emily so yeah I no worries mate yeah I just I got cash and you know if you I could do 200 if you clean on that okay no worries mate thanks mate right okay so we possibly got a deal on a ten sixty from Rhys I don't think that was the same races last time I just I don't think it was from memory the voice sounded different but anyway we'll see if that comes back after we hunt for some more deals so next people get up here now is the gtx 770 and of course at 150 AUD it's not a deal at all so we're gonna try and go extremely low ball on this often ninety strand dollars and see if we can get it right so I think that this one we're good to go yeah you selling a GTX 770 yeah yeah would you take 90 bucks for it they're fairly old car that's all so I mean I can put it to good use but yeah because it's just so old they're out of warranty there I mean yeah it's kind of like we can I mean I'm just doing the rounds today like I'm calling up yeah if you want 90 bucks now come and pick it up no problem so it's just I'm pretty strict on classes Oh Joseph thanks Mary okay bye and did you see there guys that's a classical example of May sticking firm with a price it's he wants a hundred bucks I don't think a 770 is worth a hundred dollars not even Australian it's worth about yeah be about 75 USD I'm just prepared to pay ninety and that's for me that's my threshold not going over it so that's what deal hunt is about guys don't give in to those emotions this card there'll be a deal that'll come up I've picked up one in the past 490 I think even cheaper so deals come around just be firm on your prices so next deal we've got up here is a GTX 780 Ti still a very powerful card even to this date I think they perform a little bit better than a 970 so with that you want to be coming in at around 170 Australian possibly 160 but because they've got 250 will come in at 170 and see if they'll take that as it's still quite a decent deal at 170 bucks actually now we're gonna go 160 and just go even more bogan than we've previously gone in the past so now the next deal will get up here's another gtx 780 and we just picked up one for 130 bucks so we're gonna offer them 130 bucks see if they'll take it and also go caught off guard with that phone call so I kind of couldn't just change mid call to a bogan that'd be the weirdest thing ever hello hello how I saw your ad on gumtree for a GTX 780 yeah is that still available oh okay so you've already sold it I was going to offer you some cash for it so you're not you're not selling it anymore how much did you sell it for 110 I can give you more 130 I'll shake a leg Diane no worries mate just if you can't I just send me your address and I'll come and pick it up thanks Ali quite that was really awkward okay because I usually don't start off a phone call saying is it available so I just try to get into the rhythm there Ghazali seem very shy but then someone offered him 110 he took 110 that's the extremely low ball I thought my 130 was pretty good so hopefully he gets back to me and takes 130 apparently someone's already gonna pick up this grab scar but hey usually with deal hunting it's it's usually not final until the cash is in the hand as I found out what those gtx 690 s man i had to hustle for those so next day we got up here is a gtx 960 and there's no number to call unfortunately so we're just gonna drop in an offer of $100.00 and see if they'll accept that because earlier this month there was a 960 up for sale and I was ready to go buy it and go jump on it but someone else sniped me on that deal so there's some other guys on the Gold Coast now and they're hustling those used deals as well except the one guy who picked up one of those six hard drives for $30.00 or how much whoever you got it for I don't think you've got a good deal on that one so next up here we've got an i7 2608 gigs of ram a 500 gigabyte hard drive in HP case now I've already bought off Matt before last month actually bought the PC off him so I'm gonna give him a call but I can't really do the bogan accent because he's gonna know it's me so I'll see if you take $200 for this computer if not then so be it but for 200 bucks I could probably whip something up and do a really good build with this and I am sort of banking on the fact that it doesn't have a good power supply so we would have to change the power supply and possibly add in another hard drive or maybe upgrade the hard drive and then of course add in one of these 7 80s and we've got a pretty good gaming system for a good price hey mate how are ya not much dude I see you got an ad on gumtree here for an i7 2608 yeah yeah man I want as much you you've got the goods I'll buy them on bonds land the depend now there's the thing we're gonna talk about price 200 cash 220 done done I'll come pick it up it's a legend yeah how you been David how about I bring over a six-pack as well and we just done deal I'll see you later all right brother I'll see you soon bye somebody talking us up a deal of course I'm happy with 220 I'll be able to do something work some magic with this PC of course he just lives down the road and it is a Sunday afternoon so after I do all the rounds and pick up all these PC paths then I wouldn't mind having to sitting back and having a drink to be honest so the last deal I'm pulling up here is actually two different ads from the same person actually looked at it in my for reasons video that I recently released on the channel and in total it's 14 gigabytes of ddr3 memory it would be around that 80 Australian he's asking so I'm gonna give him a call and see if he'll take 60 Australian for all this memory is you're always gonna need memory when you're doing a new or a used PC build in this case and with ddr4 prices on the rise I think a lot more people gonna be looking to build a new system because ddr3 prices are much better but what about ddr4 memory and the prices and yes at the moment there is just a stinking shortage it's crazy apparently it's because Apple bought out the whole production line of Samsung for their new iPhones and with that of course rising coffee like being extremely competitive you could probably expect more demand for ddr4 especially around this time of the year so it's just a perfect storm really high prices with that short supply though in time if the prices remain high of course factories will look at making more factories or ramping up production somehow because it's extremely lucrative at the moment to be selling new ddr4 memory that's for sure with that prices of ddr3 memory is still really good and this in turn is going to drive I think demand to these used systems with ddr3 memory though let's call this deal anyway what are we waiting for hey Mitch how are you good yeah I saw you out on gumtree for a ddr3 memory yeah do you still have both ads available you got me good job good job [Laughter] yeah I know was in there so I'm just doing the rounds today man I'm just gonna be picking up paper different parts so I've really scored a few deals what's the lowest you'll go for 14 gigabytes the whole whole lot of it are the eight gigs of the ddr3 mm hi cake so I was gonna offer you 60 for the whole lot and then come pick it up yeah I mean they're not out the pricing is all off in my head now well sound done deal man I'm doing the rounds let me know your head address and I'll pop around brother and all uh yeah no tuned it all up don't worry I'm doing the rounds I'll probably grab a six-pack and if you want to guess oh I'm ready well I'm ready got like guy bought off last month I'm buying another computer off him so yeah I'm gonna have a drink with him but yeah I have a stop I have one drink and um yeah and turn your sister my brother sure don't ya alright so then you guys have been waiting for it I know people in the comments like I can't wait the day Brian gets caught out Mitch just called us out so that was a first for the channel and he offered to give it for free in exchange for tuning his x58 PC and I love tuning x58 it's probably the favorite out of all time ever not just to overclock but also to use as well so I'm gonna have a great fun time and go pick up eight gigabytes of ddr3 memory for doing so so that's it for the deals the person with any Greece he got back to me with the 1060 and he's offered me a I said $200 is fine so 200 Australian for a DT x10 six he's not too bad so we'll go pick that up it is the Galaxy Note C so it's not too bad we'll go get that and we'll go get all these other deals so let's get on with it so it's now the next day and last night I did have a few beers and drinks and I decided not to film really caught up with both Mitch and Matt that were awesome people who meet in real life Matt already met before but he this time he took me into his home and showed me his whole setup and we just talked for hours and hours about tech and more tech it was really cool Matt's the network administrator so I was really good to get a different side of tech than just the gaming and overclocking and stuff like that and he's really into it too like he showed me this really cool ESD air blower that I'm actually gonna get for when I'm cleaning PC parts because that's how he reckons he got that gigabyte motherboard in the previous month part Hunt to look so clean like I was shocked he reckons was just because of his Blas I'm definitely gonna get one of those and also Mitch when I went over to his house to overclock he's x58 motherboard it was AUD 3r i think was like the first revision of this motherboard where it only had four dimm slots which three were triple-channel and then the other one was like single channel I don't know what was going on there but also the BIOS on this motherboard was so finicky it was so weird it caused a lot of headaches we had this cpu running at 4.4 gigahertz stable and then we went to boot it off because I noticed the temperatures were a little bit different and when you've got that it means maybe the coolers not put on properly or the thermal paste needs to be changed so we turned it off change the thermal paste around put the seed of the grease into the cooler and then we went to boot it up again and it started saying Windows is crashing it needs to be repaired and it can't be repaired and this is really just a problem with the gigabyte BIOS itself back in the x58 days you can have a stable overclock and then it just crashes and the settings go all crazy and the weirdest thing was his previous settings that he saved for a biased profile which has been stable for six months we even tried to boot those up and they just kept crashing so we had to reset the boss completely by taking the CMOS battery out and then we started overclocking again and we did get it completely stable so he had the w 35 90 I think it is the Xeon with a qpi link score of 1 and this will work on pretty much any x58 motherboard but the bizarre thing about this CPU was that it was completely unlocked you could take this CPU multiplier up to whatever so I don't know if that was a bug with the Gigabyte x58 motherboard in just this particular cpu because I've never seen that before you just take this thing to kingdom come and I was really surprised it was like completely unlocked multiplied so never seen that before it was really good to catch up with Mitch but we eventually got there and Mitch also gave us that a gigabyte kit of memories for free so thank you very much and then we got the GTX 780 and that is the azuz model and the weird thing was was that I did I was shown the screenshot with the DX diag with 4 gigabytes of vram so the initial last month's ad wasn't a lie he was just confused but then I looked at the card and it was a legit Zeus GTX 780 in really good condition too so look forward to putting that in a build and of course the PC that Matt sold me the i7 2600 a GTX 1050 Ti now the GTX 1060 the guy did get back to me but then we noticed that we had a history of like messaging each other last year like ages ago so he might have freaked out because he said yeah come get it and then he never text me his address so that deal kind of just fell through he's probably like hey I've got my messages guy in the past and he's like got this bogan accent it's really weird but next month anyway next month with the accents I'm changing it up guys so be prepared for that but now with Matt's computer it's got a 320 watt power supply so I'm figuring with the i7 2600 and everything's good to go except for the graphics card so what we're gonna do is we're going to hunt for a gtx 1050 TI and now here's the crazy thing someone on gumtree 30 minutes ago just listed a 1050 Ti for a gigabyte overclocked model so I gave him a call I just said look I'm happy to pay the 120 Australian I'm gonna come pick it up straightaway and he's agreed to that so he's up in Tweed Heads it's not too far of a drive and that's gonna be awesome that's like around about 90 USD for a 1050 TI for gigabyte model that's insanely good so I'm not even gonna try and bargain with that deal because if someone comes in between the time that now and then I go pick it up if someone comes in with a better offer he's go fizz he gonna take the better offer so I'm just gonna offer him the full price 120 and he's gonna be like yeah someone's come to pick it up so that's gonna be awesome because that's going to go straight into the i7 built so I'm a little bit devil again didn't get the 1060 the 1050 Ti is gonna make for an awesome build so I just got back now from another hunt I went out and saw that 1050 Ti and on the way I quickly stopped off because I had to put the navigation in my phone and then I called him and just said would you take 110 because it was about 30 kilometers away $10 in gas and he said yes 110 of Stran dollars for a GTX 1050 Ti so that'd be about 80 USD that's pretty damn crazy good deal especially since it's going to be perfect it's like God came in today and said Brian this 2600 i7 rig and this 1050 T I was just meant to be so this is gonna be like the easiest and laziest PC of the month that is going to come together and it's gonna be really good price performance still so that was a really cool deal and then while I was on the road Ali the guy from yesterday called me up well he didn't call me up he sent me a text message and he simply asked me are you still interested in getting the GTX 780 and I kind of thought at that stage well I'm kind of in a position of power now because yesterday I was gonna pick it up for 130 you never go back to me so I just said look will you take 120 cash Australian so that'd be like 90 USD for one of these and he said sure this is the classified - it's a really big card really beefy so that's gonna be awesome as well on the build so today we picked up three I mean today and yesterday we picked up three graphics cards two GTX 780 s a gtx 750ti an i7 complete kitted out rig - the graphics card and a gigabytes extra of ddr3 memory all this for 580 Australian dollars so that's like around about four hundred and something USD so that's crazy good bargains I'm just stoked right now because I thought this month at the start of the video I thought you know making this video I thought it wasn't going to be a good month I just thought the deals weren't really there but as time went on the deals are just there and people are accepting kind of these lowball offers and also to the guy who offered 110 for this card I gotta say man you're a ballsy bargain hunter like you've got yeah some balls but you know I did pick it up over you so you're pretty good though you got some game I'm guessing you're the same guy who picked up that gtx 960 4 gigabyte though I got the 1050 Ti it's game on I know there's someone out there on the Gold Coast who's hunting them deals as well show yourself in the comments so I was actually going to test these two graphs guys out in this case behind me however it's updating to Windows 10 for creators update at the moment and if you turn it off I think you break the update and you have to restart it again and taking so long because my internet is so bad but January 1st I will be getting NBN so that's like much better in it and what I've got now like 10 times the speeds 40 times the speeds on the uploads so I can't wait for that I've already pre booked my internet connection but in the meantime I don't have to test these two grams cards out on my main PC and also this PC here you probably wondering it's just the Banger that I'm putting together I'm gonna sell it and raise some funds for the channel so we just got done testing the GTX 780 classifier that worked perfectly fine and also the GTX 1050 Tia that we bought that was working as expected though the question remains is will the 1050 TI work in the HP i7 2600 reg with no problems we'll be able to use that power supply that's already included so we don't have to change anything out let's find out right now but also on that note I will need to add in a two ciders to one PCIe connector you can get these off eBay for literally I think a dollar I've stocked up on heaps of them because I use them a lot and they've essentially got two-sided to 1/8 pin or 6 min you get the choice so in this case going to need the 6 pin but let's try it out and see if we can get a boot signal whoo we now have a rig that is so easy to put together we just added in a 1050 TI and that is profit right there that's winning so that was like the easiest PC of the month that's gonna hit the channel we're gonna see how this thing performs in games but it's gonna be really good especially for the money so $110 graphics card AUD $220 system that's three hundred and thirty Australian dollars for an i7 2650 Ti I mean that's just crazy they'd be like what 200 and something USD insane value for money this month has just been epic the whole was really good all the parts were really good also big thanks to Mitch and Matt you guys are awesome look forward to having another drink with you guys again and if you like this video then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below what was your favorite deal of today there was some pretty juicy deals and of course I think the combo of that 2600 and that 1050 t I really did make for an epic video today and also on that note I noticed Linus tech tips uploaded his scrap yard walls and I dropped a comment and thank you guys so much for all the positive replies as opposed to challenging Linus and Luke my offers always out there for scrap yard Wars so it's up to them to accept the challenge if they want to sort of make an epic show for you guys anyway I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
