cryptocurrency mining has caused a massive boom in the industry of gaming grabbers cards to the point where they're now sold out and the prices of currently available GPUs have gone through the roof quick response if you guys want to Jays to census video is that yes he does make a valid point it does suck if you're a person getting into PC gaming and you can't get one of these graphics cards and you just saved up but on the other side of the fence it is a free market and not everyone can win all the time though instead of making a video complaining about the issue I'm just gonna offer you guys some simple solutions and help you guys get through this sort of out of stock apocalypse now we'll say one thing before we get on with the video is that currently stock in the u.s. is where the problem exists in the UK and for in Australia for example GTX 1060 s are still readily available and you can buy them at pretty good prices and what about the higher end GTX 1080p eyes well in Australia for example there's currently a sale on at the moment on eBay we can get a 1080i for around 900 Australian dollars which is actually a really good price for a card with an aftermarket cooler installed so of course what are some of these solutions let's find out welcome back to tech yes it is brian coming to you guys today and first up if you are in america and you want to buy a new graphics card or you want to buy a new gaming pc they currently are two things available in stock when i did a quick search gtx 1084 560 u.s. dollars not too bad of a price also a 1050 currently in stock for around one hundred and forty now of course they are a little bit more expensive than they usually go for but i guess in this current market you just have to take what you can get also if you sign up to auto email lists on you egg for example you can get notified as soon as the graphics cards are back in stock and get one at retail price not only can you do that but you can also check daily on amazon just refresh quickly for one minute check if some graphics cards that you want to get back in stock and then pull the trigger if you want to get one of those at the said good price alternatively though if you want to build a new pc then you may wish to go with a pre-built system that includes a keyboard and mouse for example the CyberPower pcs i know tech deals raves on about how good value for money they are and in this market they're even better value for money with ddr4 ram prices being sky high and also gravis cards being out of stock so that is an option seven hundred and sixty dollars roughly for a PC with an Rx 580 installed and then also for around $1,700 you can get a full 8700 K top-of-the-line rig with the GTX 1080 so yes you will generally pay a premium as opposed to building a new especially if you're used to getting deals when you buy those new parts but as I said before this is not a bad solution in the current market of course if you are into price performance here is another solution I'm going to propose to you especially around this channel tech yes City we love to look into use price performance where there is extremely good value for money and for instance if I pull up Gumtree right near by me there is a GTX 780 which will be absolutely fine for 1080p gaming and not only that it performs very similar to a GTX 1063 gigabyte model now this is 180 Australian dollars which would be like 150 USD now now I guarantee you that I could put in an offer around 150 Strain dollars which would be like 120 US dollars and I'd probably get the deal done so that kind of performance for that money is really good now if you are in other parts of the world and this is affecting you especially the ddr4 memory pricing another solution is to go over to Aliexpress now I've used I express a lot and I haven't been burned once and that's actually better than eBay so the sellers of course it does take a little while to get things shipped to your door but currently there is a really good combo on a motherboard a CPU a six core 12 threaded Sandy Bridge Xeon which is overclockable 16 gigabytes of ddr3 memory for 330 dollars shipped to your door I've actually ordered one of these because I'm gonna do a video on it and test it but a lot of the viewers out there they tell me this is a really good combo especially for the money so if you want to build a really good PC you can get this a $30 cooler which I've actually already tested and you'll get really good price performance for your money though of course solutions don't just stop there you can get those used OEMs which generally come with a Windows license a 4 core Sandy Bridge CPU egg you lots of ddr3 memory they go from a hundred to two hundred dollars sometimes you can get them even cheaper just chucking the gtx 1050 and you're good to go in terms of 1080p gaming anyway guys when it comes down to it there are solutions you've just got to spend a little bit of extra time and look for the best options available there generally are always options available you've just got a hustle now with the used PC price market especially the gravis cards they're generally anti minor minors generally don't want to get these gravis cards because they use a lot more power than say the latest ten series cards and of course with that they produce more heat which is hard to keep under control if they've got to put in an aircon environment and they've got ten or twenty of these used Graham's cards going I generally want to go for the new Graham's cards where they can purchase 10 plus or twenty thirty grams cards at a time and set them up with these as opposed to use gratis cards they'll have to run around all around a certain suburb and chase up all these deals and of course that being a convenience problem for people who generally want to make money out of crypto currency and I've been accused as well of being part of the problem and actually I would say I would counter-argument that and say that no I used review samples mainly to check out what's going on with crypto currency gain an understanding of it and in that time I went from being relatively a naysayer of crypto currency to supporting blockchain technology and with that over the last year I have built a lot of use price performance pieces on the channel sold them to people who aren't fortunate enough to go out and build a new PC and they're getting extremely good value for money so please if you're in the comments and you're accusing me of that bullshit you need a stop buddy anyway in terms of doing my part for the PC gaming community I always do and I always will I'm always on the side of the gamer it's just in this case I do believe in blockchain technology I do believe in crypto currency and of course the money that I made from cryptocurrency is supporting my channel which I so very much love I know guys hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comment section below if you have any solutions of your own and also on that note I do believe the ddr4 Ram prices to me that's much more of an issue than the graphics cards grabs cards are constantly being put back in stock and they're coming back in at retail prices the ddr4 thing is a big fishy issue to me I think there's a lot of funny buggers going on behind the scenes things like price fixing because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense they run these excuses and we have seen this in the past with RAM numerous times and in the past there's just been some excuses that didn't make sense at all so I think that's a problem and of course I have provided a solution to that in this video all the links for the products that I've talked about will be in the description below so you get yourself back on top or you can tell a friend look these are some solutions to get into PC gaming if you're having trouble at the moment and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now but
