so October is upon us and coffee lake has been released but it doesn't even matter because today we are going use PC parts honey on gantry and we're gonna try and find some bargains but as I hinted in the thumbnail someone on gumtree has called me out they said Luke Bryan I have a GTX 1060 just for you so we're gonna actually give him a call and see if we can spin such a bogan voice off that he doesn't recognize that it's actually me at first so we're gonna do that and already before I started this month on the PC parts on a bargain came to me I was selling a laptop and when I sold it the person said would you take any of these old PC parts I have here they don't work and I took a look and two of them were just old dinosaurs but one of them was an i7 3770 with the motherboard cooler had a refurbished power supply so I figured straight away that the parts inside probably worked really well and you've probably seen that video already on the channel so we got that for 50 dollars which was absolutely amazing and then also this month two subscribers have given me PC parts already so I've got 2 X 56 70s which got given to me at the EB Expo games conference which I'll talk a little bit later in today's vlog so big thank you to rob and also I met with Madden today and he dropped me off some ddr3 memory actually quite a lot of it and an i5 750 so I'll be sure to put those to the test in the next can yes fix it episode and also a subscriber over in the states is sending me over an EVGA sr2 so there's a lot of used PC parts coming in guys thanks for supporting the channel but with that said let's get on with this used PC parts huh so the first thing we have up here is from a user called Kalani he is calling me out specifically with a GTX 1063 gigabyte he's paid two hundred sixty nine dollars for it and he wants two hundred Australian dollars so I'm gonna give him a ring and see if you'll take one set but the trick here is I'm gonna put on a tough bogan accent it's gonna be so tough that hopefully Kalani won't recognize it so let's give this a call okay so Kalani did not pick up the phone we're gonna try and call again later so the next deal we got up here is a whole desktop PC it's got an i3 in it so it could be at the very worst a gen 1 i3 and in that case we can put a Xeon X 3450 in this thing it's got 8 gigabytes of RAM 1 terabyte hard drive of course you get the case you get a Quadra with it as well so it does look like a pretty good deal for 150 though I'm gonna go in and try and offer $100 and see if they will take it okay that way you mate yeah I saw you had a gum tree for a computer desktop yeah no I three eight gigabytes of RAM it might I'm in Highland Park - I could come pick her up for a hundred bucks if you're all good ya know why I just do if you want to just text us the address and the time you're ready and I can come pick her up no worries mate thanks he's Matt Mike so we just got off the phone with Matt nice seemed pretty keen to take $100 I don't know if he actually heard that properly but he's gonna text us when he gets back didn't actually sound too promising but hopefully we can get this deal for $100 because it looks really good we just slap a GPU in there in a bed of CPU and we've got one really good price performance gaming PC so the next thing we got up here is a GTX 780 for gigabyte I don't believe they ever made a GTX 780 with 4 gigabytes of memory I think was only 3 gigabytes on the 780 so not exactly sure what's going on there at best if they did have one it would have been 6 gigabytes but he's asking $160 so I'm actually gonna ring him up and question him about this 780 and actually find out if it's not a 770 and if it's actually a 780 I'm gonna drop in an offer of one hundred and thirty dollars and see if he'll take it and then we will go pick it up if we're successful okay so Daniel didn't pick up the phone so that's two people who haven't picked up their phones on a Sunday what's going on guys this is like the day to pick up your phone and sort of do bargain hunting two out of three not picked up their phone maybe they know I'm trying to call them and they don't want the bogan hunting the deals so next thing we've got up here is a GTX 970 for $300 we're gonna give them a call and see if they'll take 200 for their lovely g1 GTX 970 you were trying to call does not have an active voice mailbox hi Glen hey y'all mate yeah I saw you add on gumtree for a GTX 970 yeah you got 300 oh no but would you take 200 yeah no I'd made I'm just on the Gold Coast still up in Highland Park over 250 are yeah I made it's just a visitor you go get the I you go get those own what they call them the ten 60s and they're about the same yeah pretty much rubbish though oh really I just wanted me mate said they were about the same as a 917 but you can pick the 9 seventies up used save a bit of money you know yeah well the G ones especially they're the best of them 9 70s and they'll smash the pen sixties ah so you want about 250 and you won't go any lower for 70 bit up nine months ago so you know again they know I was looking I lower than 250 yeah I'll just give me made a call and I'll get back to you and see if that's a good deal made no worries Glen thanks for that mate buddy so Glen wanted $250 for his g1 GTX 970 now the g1 is actually a really good 970 I will give him that they were bend over the typical 970 S or at least a lot of people were getting really high over clocks on the 1970s but calling the 1060 trash or rubbish is really not that valid of a comment I mean the 1060 even the 3 gigabyte is roughly the same as a 970 performance the B Rams roughly the same too so yeah I'm pretty strong on that 200 Australian dollar price point I won't go for 250 it's not worth it especially when you can go and get a 1060 brand new with warranty for year round 270 Australian dollars so to hundreds loss I'll go and 9 months ago I believe that 10 60s were out before then so paying for 70 for a 979 months ago was really a bad deal on Glen's behalf but anyway let's go for the last deal we've got up here and then see if those other people will call back as well so lots of the deals that were gonna call for is the r9 280 he's asking 150th Street which is a little bit too much for an online 280 I believe they perform somewhere similar to like a HD 7950 so we're gonna come in at around $90 as it is the vapor-x model it is really nice if it is working and $90 I think he might take it if I try and convince him enough oh Jesus so no one is picking up their phone today it's frustrating because it is a Sunday and I want to hunt some deals so we're just gonna drop in offers on all these parts that people didn't pick up the phones for and hopefully that guy with the i3 desktop PC comes back and he's actually keen to follow through with that deal because I've got to get some deal this month there has to be something I can pick up otherwise we're gonna have to postpone this because I can't do a use parts hunt without hunting anything so he's actually an interesting deal here that they haven't put a number for but they're asking for $75 and they are negotiable so that's an online 270x which is similar to a 78 70 I think an offer a $60 would be pretty fair because this looks like a decent card for 60 Australian dollars so I can definitely use this in a budget build so while we're not so busy waiting for the people to get back to us whether they want to take the offers or if they just want to call us back for the deals I thought I'd talk about what happened yesterday here on the Gold Coast which is my hometown and that is the EB Games Expo now EB Games is a company in Australia a retailer of games I believe they're owned by Game Stop in the US and now they held this big event at the Convention Center on the Gold Coast and it was just awesome except for the horrendously long queue times if I had to complain about one thing it would be those queue times they were actually pretty bad but besides that I got to try out the new Wolfenstein 2 and that was just really good it comes out in the next couple of weeks I'm definitely gonna be buying it it reminds me of the new order just that story is just there it just really sucks you in from the get-go it's awesome I can't recommend it enough I'm definitely gonna be playing it very soon and also my brother bought me a tickets so you're probably wondering like why would I be going to like a console games event my brother bought me a ticket he absolutely loved console games he was like begging me to go and I was like sure I'll tag along and while I was there I met a subscriber from coffs harbor as I said in the intro Rob he brought us some Zeon's some X 56 70s he brought us two of them was just really I wouldn't call it weird it was just awesome it was just really unexpected gave us a couple of Zeon's and man you guys know me I'd love my Zeon's and in this case it was kind of like giving an addict a fix and of course it doesn't matter if I'm an event or if I'm used PC parts hunting I don't really care I'm always on the hunt for a deal and when I was at the EB Games Expo they had this mega store which was really cool and inside that store they had t-shirts gone for four dollars a pop a strand also my clothes shopping is done for 2017 I filled my whole wardrobe with new threads 26 Australian dollars in total actually wearing one of these t-shirts right now and actually another funny thing happened I bought a t-shirt for my brother and this is what happened when I went to give it to him and why did you take the t-shirt so when all the event was a lot of fun though it was really busy and also thanks to all the people who came up and shook my hand and said hello love you guys thanks for watching the content really means a lot to me but also the last deal we got I forgot to talk about was farm simulator 2017 I got this for 19 AUD it's a collector's edition so it comes with some few extras but I was going to do a gaming PC on this particular game but when I looked at the minimum system requirements it runs on a 2 gigahertz dual-core and 2 gigabytes of RAM so basically you could run this thing on mashed potatoes and you'll be absolutely fine so if you guys want to see a PC like that let me know in the comments below I'm thinking something like a minesweeper PC solitaire and farm simulator 2017 on this rig some of the guys I just got back from picking up the i3 system will actually go back a little while ago and met up with Matt he was actually a subscriber of the channel and watches my content so I dropped the bogan act of course when I go pick up all these PC parts I do drop that bogan voice whether it's the tough bog and all the surfy bogan and people aren't surprised I think in Australia no one really cares like as long as you're not attacking someone everyone's pretty easygoing and I was like I really loved the culture especially on the Gold Coast so yeah just I dropped the act no worries about that what we picked up here the i3 system it was really surprising because the motherboard is literally brand new like I'm pretty sure this motherboard is brand new it's a p55 UD 3r from gigabyte and now the UD 3 are on the p55 line and also the x58 line they were just when gigabyte we're getting it right in terms of mid-range motherboards they were hitting the VR em hard the motherboards were made so well the BIOS was awesome I'd like to see gigabyte bring this formula back in there New Age motherboards I think they've sort of like lost focus and focused on things like RGB when they should be focusing on AUD 3 our formula I absolutely loved it so I took this motherboard out I cleaned up this PC and then I looked at the multiple I was like this is like brand new so I took it out I'm gonna be using it in a future comparison so there's a little hint and that's gonna be one what I'm using with a Xeon gonna be comparing it to some New Age CPUs so it can't wait to do that and then we replaced it with a z68 motherboard and this is actually another video idea that's coming so two video ideas came out of just picking up this I three so crazy thoughts are going through my head at the moment and we put in the zip tie cooler on the z68 motherboard with the 4 pin connector 2500 ke Beng job power supply this thing is like 25 amps never heard of the brand before so this is gonna make for a really cool video I think you guys already know where I'm going with this and the other parts what about the people with the other offers the guy who called me out on gumtree he responded and said he was actually at work so he's gonna get back to me but it's already like 8 p.m. at night so I'm still waiting the other offers one guy came back and said he already sold the to 80 and some of the other offices just haven't come back at all so don't know what's going on there but at least they got this deal here the i3 machine was pretty good we got a really good case awesome motherboard like brand-new motherboard got these stock cooler in the i3 which weren't that good but eight gigabytes of RAM one terabyte hard drive that's always a pretty good deal for around about 80 USD but guys I hope you enjoyed today's video and if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know actually don't don't let me know in the conversation below because we only got one deal today so I was gonna ask let me know the favorite deal of the month but yeah there was only one deal so kinda sucks that we didn't get more deals but I was pretty happy that at least we got something and also that deal earlier before this video the i7 3770 that was a really good deal the charger as well the things as months and - really bizarre things happen in the same day and one was like this charger I bought off eBay for these batteries it's like combusted or imploded I've never seen anything like it before and then also the monitor that I was using on my Sony I bought both these things off eBay and it was like a ville trucks and it just switched off and it doesn't work anymore so I've requested a refund on both those things I've only been using I've only had them both for like a week in ten days or whatever so really crazy I mean you gotta be careful with some of that stuff you buy off on eBay especially if it's like a no-name brand that you've never heard before but yeah that sucks I'll get them replaced so I get ready for packs and I'll have the gear ready to give you guys some awesome coverage anyway I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye
