so at least in a few places around the world it looks like
prices of pc parts are returning back to normal, however you're probably
thinking... NEW ddr4 memory? YES please.
New 240 gigabyte ssd? YES please. new ryzen 5 3600 yes please
New 2070 super? YES please, and a used hard drive? No thank you?
Well i'm here to change your mind with a bit of a different type of build that is
we're going to be mixing used and new parts together
so you can get pretty much a brand new build
but you can save around 100 on this build and still get something with a
good power supply good case and of course a
good cpu and gpu to give you excellent gaming performance
but the use components we're using in today's build
we've got here a one terabyte hard drive now i picked this up for 26 aussie
dollars in a deals hunt and that's coming in
under half the price now the good thing about this hard drive is when i
purchased it it had a two year warranty so i'm really only poised to save money
which of course is a good thing and then this power supply here this came in
and i got this on a deal for 20 aussie dollars and power supplies especially
one of this caliber would easily cost around four times the
price here in australia and when i put it through a power supply
tester it checked out absolutely fine showing some really good signals then
the last used component we're using in today's build
is this case right here it's a used silver stone case
with three rgb fans at the front and it's pretty much in like new condition
but i got it for 70 aussie dollars which is
around half the price that it goes for brand new
so those three components combined here in australia i'm saving around 150
aussie dollars just like that and with that aside i'll
give you guys a quick tally of today's build we'll quickly put it
together start tuning it and then we'll compare the 2070 super on
this pc versus say something with a z490 and 10
900k to see how much value you are getting
out of the ryzen 5 3600 build that we're doing here today though of
course you guys want to see the finished product
let's get you the finished product [Music]
yeah that's right you tell me in the comments that their soldering skills
haven't improved since the last time we met
[Music]
no more pain no more worries got no more time for loving you
[Music]
and now we're here with the finished product the tech yes
soldering skills you guys have been uh critiquing me previously
but then skills are getting better and better by the day
i mean if i didn't fall asleep at school when they had soldering classes i
might have not had to learn in my older days but
hey that aside this case right here we had the problem of the person who sold
it to me didn't include the connector going into the led
controller so yeah that's where the soldering came
into place where i had to make my own wire
and then connect it directly from the power supply but that aside everything
now is working absolutely fine we've got this pc
booting up we can change the colors of the build by just clicking the led
button and besides that i mean the build looks like
it's got good airflow it's a huge case bigger than i expected
and all for 70 aussie dollars i think this thing retailed at 200 aussie
dollars so silverstone where have you been my whole
life well actually since 2016 because that's
when this case was released i don't know if it's for sale anymore
but again when you're dealing with used parts that's one of the beauties
of dealing with the used market is you come into some of these things
like this that are really cool and they're
cool because they're not just really good price performance but they're also
just an absolute looker in terms of putting your build
together anyway enough rambling aside we're gonna finally tune this pc
up and then run some games wow
oh
so we now got the games all set up and ready to go but just before
we get into our games we want to go into the bios right here and we do that by
hitting delete and f2 when we start up our
computer but when we're in this bus right here we
just go down to advanced memory settings and on different pcs it might be a
different menu up the top but you just search around until you find
extreme memory profile and we just uh click enter on
our keyboard and then we hit enter on our profile
right here and that'll lock in the x and p profiles
which is super important for ryzen cpus to get that extra
performance well it's kind of it's really important
nowadays on any cpu when you're playing games so after that
we just go save and exit setup and we're now good
to boot those games up and start getting some fps
[Music]
it's a root interruption
so we're just finishing up the final benchmark on this pc right here what i'm
doing is i'm testing the gpu temperatures
with the side panel on versus off that's going to tell us how good the
airflow is on this silverstone second hand case
that we picked up right here but so far the fps is looking incredible i
mean this is why we're playing a game the noise is extremely low and we're
getting over 140 fps it's about 150 in 1080p
warzone at high settings we got that also
similar numbers in tom clancy's division two we're getting 144 fps
at high settings and we also got 118 average fps in shadow of the tomb raider
high so this thing is geared up towards high settings high refresh rate gaming
and i've actually got to quickly move now
to get in the gas zone so i don't lose the round because i want to do a
full round so i can test the gpu temperatures and it's like oh hey
how you doing there i'm untouchable but yeah continuing on uh but what we
can see here is the oh that's a rude interruption
so what we can see here with this case is that it's keeping the temperatures
on the gpu below 70 degrees which when the gpu is at 100
under 100 degrees that is really nice so the case is doing its good job but also
the cooler on this rtx 2070 super is also pretty good as well
i don't get a chance
so what we're seeing here with this case is that it's keeping the temperatures of
the gpu under 70 degrees which also
how you're doing there it's a good thing so the first round is finished with the
tempered glass side panel on it's scored 70 degrees celsius
and we're going to take this side panel off now and basically if the
temperatures are lower on the gpu that means the case could use some
improvements but if the temperatures are a little bit higher or the same
it means silverstone have designed an absolute winner here
and i probably got more than i bargained for at 70 aussie
dollars i mean three 140 mil fans at the front and one 140 mil
fan at the back i just wish i knew about this case sooner this is the first time
i've ever seen one i'm going to be low key with you guys
here i kind of want to sell my main rig and make this my main
rig but then i won't have 64 gigabytes of ram anymore
so i won't be able to edit videos anymore
and you just won't see me that'll be the end of tech yes city
as we know it all because of this silverstone prime mirror
case right here i think it's called a primera
you ready let's go [Music]
and after whacking this system on our 10 900k
there was some really good news and that was first off we'll start off with the
best news tom clancy's a division two scored the
same average fps at 144. then we moved over to tomb raider that
was getting an extra 15 fps and then we moved over to warzone and
that was scoring an extra 20 or so odd fps and here's the thing
the ryzen 5 3600 can be had for under 200 comes with a
cooler and then we use this on a budget entry
level b450 motherboard with some budget 3000 megahertz memory
now keep in mind i did use the same memory on the 10900k
and the power consumption was the same at around 330 watts
so what we're ultimately seeing with this build here today
is the power of used and new synergy and so what i'm predicting and this is
probably the start of a trend here at tech yes city
for what i'm going to be doing going forward that is i'm going to be mixing a
lot of used and new parts together because i
feel like the prices of new components especially cpus for example
are coming down to really good price points and with gpus
you may not want to go out and build something like this
where you've got the rtx 3000 series coming up very soon
but that being said if you can pick up a 2070 super 2060 super
at a really good price on sale which in australia these cards
are going on sale with ebay is 20 off so if you can get really good deals on the
new stuff don't be afraid to look around in the used market
where there's just going to be awesome deals to be had because i found
recently there's a lot of used pcs coming up for sale
and of course some people just want to upgrade their cases they want to upgrade
to a thousand watt power supply and you can pick up some really good
deals like we did here with this case now
i actually researched this case out and it appears that it was around 200 aussie
dollars and i got it for 70 aussie dollars
and it's pretty much in like new condition the person took
really good care of it all i had to do was give it a data vac and alcohol wipe
it down and it pretty much looks like brand new
again so i'm getting under half price for a case that has one of
the coolest aesthetics i've seen in a long time and honestly i
am surprised that i have not seen this case
earlier because i was blown away by not just the build quality but also the
paint job that they've done on this they've used
some real high quality paint and it really shows when you're building
it and then of course you probably even see it on the b-roll
but then those 140 mil fans they're super quiet like i'm right next
to this case right now and it's on and it's just whisper quiet and the
temperatures are pretty good too we've got the
tempered glass and whatnot but one thing about this case in particular i think
it's called the primera pm01 is it's a massive case like it's bigger
than i thought it would be when i first saw this listing on good old gametree
i was like okay this is going to be a normal standard atx size case
and what it's worth it's getting closer to a full-sized atx tower
than a mid tower and mid towers are pretty much going to be the majority of
atx cases out there so very big case very good
build quality very good performance i'm just surprised
i haven't really heard or seen this case beforehand and of course the saddest
thing being this thing is not for sale on the new market anymore
but i'm glad i picked this up because again like we said in the intro it's
just really cool to buy used parts and get an experience
that i never thought was possible in the realm of pc building
the ultimate when it comes down to it if you're in the market for a new pc
don't be afraid to go with some used components especially if you just
quickly check on your local listing site whether it's gumtree or craigslist
or something like that and you see a bargain pop up especially
for something like a case where you can go out check it out if it
looks good then you can purchase it with a power supply though i will say do
be pretty careful and definitely get proof of say a hard
drive as well get proof of those parts working before
you purchase them because if anything i don't want you guys out
there in the audience to get hosed and i've been hosed in the
past before actually quite a few times and it's one
of the worst feelings ever and the sad thing is even nowadays you
can get hosed on new parts so you've got to be careful with that
too so i'll put a link to a video up here
about what to be careful of when buying using new parts
and with that aside i hope you guys enjoyed today's video if you did then be
sure to hit that like button for us also if you want some links to some of
the stuff we've used in today's video then i'll put some links in the
description below and with that aside do let us know in
the comment section below what you think of this big silverstone
primaria case right here anyway we've got here the question of the day which
comes from phone toys tv and they asked sir can i install the
raised prism on my ryzen 3200 goc any suggestion
and the answer that is certainly yes if you've got a wraith prism it's an am4
mount the 3200 g is an am4 socket
cpu apu and you can mount that in the socket and put the am4 cooler on so
basically any cpu or apu that fits am4 you can use an
aim for cooler for it so compatibility is definitely there
in terms of overclocking the 3200 g the wraith prism will do an
absolutely fine job it's actually suited for even the likes of a 3900
x 12 core so getting the most out of your 3200g on a wraith prism
should be no problems hope that answers that question and if you guys have
stayed this far and you're enjoying that
content and you want to see the moment it drops
be sure to hit that sub button ring that bell and i'll catch you in another tech
video very soon peace out for now bye
