CHEAP power supply CHEAP memory, in fact
we're using two different odd sticks
here, we've got a cheap ssd
a cheap ryzen 3 3 100
and a cheap motherboard and unfortunately
kind of expensive graphics card but this
is going to be right here
a build for 2021
used meets new where the really only the
new parts here are the
case that we're going to be using with a
bit of rgb bling
and the ssd other than that
we've got everything else is going to be
used and this is going to be
one of those builds that is definitely
going to hit hard so let's whip this
thing up and see
what kind of price performance we can
get out of this used meets new banger
if you've got this annoying windows
needs activation message and you want to
get rid of it for cheap then today's
video sponsored scd keys has you covered
for as little as 14 bucks after you use

so the build is now complete with the
graphics card literally just fitting in
this build we also
gave that a full clean down and the
temperatures are
really good it's at 72 degrees in a 27
degree ambient environment
after over 20 minutes on combustor and
you're probably thinking well brian
those temperatures are mediocre but it's
doing this
at very quiet volume levels and it's
surprising because this budget case
also is very quiet too and it's drawing
out a lot of hot air out of the case
i'll give you guys a quick listen
so so far i'm actually very impressed
with how this build turned out
and also another trick that we've done
here since we've used two off sticks of
memory
one's only a uh 2400 megahertz stick
that's an old-school hyperx eight
gigabyte stick and then the newer one
having a 3200 megahertz xmp
profile we're able to utilize that
3200mhz profile
off the one stick and then copy it to
the other however
it's not guaranteed to allow this ram
stick to work at 3200 megahertz the 2400
megahertz stick but
what i found is through one reboot of
trial and error
i got it to run at 3 000 megahertz with
a one to one to
one ratio on the memory versus the u
clock versus the f clock
so basically this build should be ready
to game on but before we test out the
games the last
part to talk about is these budget cases
right here
and this is the gamdius e1 that i picked
up
for 59 aussie dollars makes it around 45
usd
very cheap considering it's tempered
glass
it's got the enclosed power supply
shroud you've got the two fans here
one's on exhaust
one's on intake right where the gravis
card is by the way which is pretty good
but testing out this case with the
tempered glass on versus off which is a
very quick and easy way to test if a
case is decent especially
with its included vans this gamdia c1
actually surprised
is doing a very good job the difference
between
the timber glass on and off is only one
degree where it got up to 72 degrees
with the timber glass on versus off
which only got 71 degrees
so there's a one degree difference it
means that the case and its airflow out
of the box
is actually very good and coupled with
that low noise i've got to say straight
away this
case is looking like it's a big win
though it does look like there's some
other manufacturers out here with the
same
chassis i have seen something similar
from antec as well as msi
though i'm guessing if you're looking at
the airflow of the case it does come
down
to the fans that are included and how
quiet and how much air they push
through so this one here i can vouch for
it the antec
and also the msi versions i don't know
how they will perform
but finally let's test out some games
where in the previous video we did where
we looked at a server pc
on a budget i'll put the link up here
where to test out the same games at the
same settings
to see how much more fps this pc
can get
[Music]
so
[Music]
and after all that gaming we came out
with some
interesting results with this pc right
here where
it was in cyber mess 2077 this is what
i'm calling it now because
i played this game for about i think it
was like 10 minutes and there was two
really weird bugs
the player was like doing light speed
walking through the map
and then there was another bug where
like the police officer
thing that just disappeared
like i i didn't even know what happened
there so the game still is like
that's what i was saying in the previous
video the game's still like buggy
it's even more buggier than when i first
played it which is weird
anyhow the fps here was about 50
higher than it was on the server build
and we'll go through the rest of the
results and then we'll talk about the
price performance here where
in fortnight we were getting around 184
average fps now
which was up from around 160 and that
was on the same settings
in pretty much i do benchmark and
fortnite especially at the exact same
spot so
we weren't up that much in percentage
terms even though cyber mess were up by
around 50
we got 45 average there but this was up
maybe like
10 to 20 percent in terms of its fps
it depended on the part of the map but
then we went over to cs go and that was
up around about
50 percent over the previous system so
we're looking at around 10 to 50 percent
more performance in these games
with this build but the price difference
here was this build costs around
450 usd and about in australia about 592
aussie dollars so
this build right here is coming in a lot
more expensive than the server build
but it is in ways a proper gaming pc
right we've got
a lot of different specs going on here
where we've got a better case
it's a lot quieter it's got some better
components in the term if it's got a
bigger power supply
it's also got that ryzen 3 3100 and the
funny thing about the 3100 is
it's a great cpu in that i think like in
some of these games i couldn't quite
figure out what it was but it was almost
like there was a driver bottleneck
that was holding back the gtx 980
because i think the gtx 980 should be a
bit more capable in some of these titles
where the gpu wasn't being maxed at 100
nor were the cpu
cores being maxed at 100 either and we
did have the memory tuned to a pretty
good level here so i don't think
the memory was the problem in this
particular build
and so i think if you're going with an
older card like a gtx 900
series maybe a 700 series it is
important to note that some of these
older cards now they're just
not being optimized for even games that
they were optimized for
previously in that there's new updates
coming out to fortnite cs go
and cyber mess and then those updates
aren't really related to the driver
updates where nvidia's dropped the
support for the gtx 980 i think this is
what i believe
because i'm just not seeing more fps as
opposed to what i should be seeing so
it's a little bit weird in that regard i
expected a little bit more performance
especially compared to a 1050 ti where i
know a gtx 980
should be getting quite a bit more fps
than the 1050 ti especially
but we just weren't really seeing that
extra gain and
especially on the cpu side we've got a
ryzen 3 30 100
which runs a lot better than a 1220v
5z on which is essentially an i5 6400 so
with this build
ultimately it's one of those cases where
it's a really solid build
and i like everything going on here but
in terms of price performance it's
mediocre
in that i've done some better builds in
the past that will give you a lot better
price performance
especially if that's what you're looking
for you're looking to get the most fps
during this pandemic season here in the
world
then one something like this will be
will be solid but there are some better
options that you can look at if you want
to really
maximize your dollar though i will say
this the last thing i really like about
this build
is that we've got the option to not only
upgrade the cpu in the future say for
instance
a 5600x actually comes in the stock and
around msrp
we've also got the ability to change the
gpu to a 3060 ti or something when
that actually comes into stock as well
so we do have that ace
in the deck if we want to utilize it in
the future but as it stands in the
meantime
you're going to get a really good gaming
experience in piecing together something
like this
from the used market and even mismatched
memory
can be a really good thing don't let
people deter you if the price is right
for 16 gigabytes of ddr4
and it's just two mismatched sticks
where you can pick up one eight gigabyte
stick here one eight gigabyte stick
there
then you can really do a lot with that
and save even more money
and the power supply that we used here
today it's made from a brand called
delta and delta pretty much one of those
brands that make
a lot of power supplies for the server
industry so they're built very well
but their name isn't as popular in the
retail scene
as say corsair and c sonic and so
if you find a delta power supply never
overlook that
because in this case the power supply
was one of the best deals
that we put inside this build here today
and with all that aside do let us know
in the comment section below what you
think of today's
gtx 980 ryzen 3 3100
gaming pc love reading those thoughts
and opinions as always
but i will say one thing before i get on
out of here and that is the build itself
it costs around
592 aussie i don't think i'll be making
much money at all on this flip
and that's because the market with the
prices being expensive for the parts
but the demand being quite low at the
moment for gaming pcs around this price
point
and that's because last year there was a
lot of gaming pcs brought up around this
price point
and now they're coming back onto the
market where people want to upgrade to
higher end pcs so there's a real tough
spot
if you're looking to flip pcs around
this price point at least where i am
locally so that's one thing i'm finding
it's a little bit difficult
in terms of flipping these things so
that's a little bit of a heads up for
you guys
if you're looking to build a pc around
this price point to
flip it on the used market anyhow do let
us know if you have
any questions in the comment section
below and i'll answer it
just like this question of the day here
from bjorn solem
and they asked can you recommend a 240
hertz screen
that is the absolute best for
battlefield 4 and 5.
no bigger than a 27 inch which is almost
as good as the pg-259 qnr that's the
azus one that we actually
have at the studio here i want the very
best screen for fps or is the pg25 q r
the best choice
i have the azus rogue strix 2080 ti
graphics card
so that's a good question uh we've
checked out both the
i'll put the link to that review up here
and that monitors 360hz it's pretty much
one of a kind in its class and i really
only suggest this monitor with its
really high price tag
for people who are really on have a lot
of money on the line in programming
tournaments
so if that's you then this is going to
be the best modded but in terms of
one monitor that comes very close and in
certain scenarios
is better than the pg-25 q and r that's
the aorus 25 inch
and i'll put the link to that review up
here where i personally
feel like this monitor at 240 hertz is
one of the
best monitors you can get as well for
high fps fps games it's got the low
input lag but it's also a tn panel
so you can put on the overdrive to max
settings and you can literally get
under one millisecond response times and
at 240hz this is a massive advantage
for you guys who are competitive gamers
wanting to get the best out of the fps
titles
and especially if you're playing for
money too so hopefully that answers that
question if you guys have stayed this
far
and you're enjoying that tech yes
content
then you know what to do hit that sub
button ring that bell
and i'll catch you guys in another tag
video very soon
peace out for now bye
