​@@lucasrembecause what you are saying right now is really easy to say however say if we put a backstory behind you : You like to play light games such as minecraft, fortnite, csgo, hoi4 perhaps and some other games. However you have a very small budget right now, but you want to own a pc to get ahold of the experience and learn from mistakes. Also you can overclock the GPU to get 10 more fps performance, optimizing your OS would also help, and it's overall a great value card I must admit, however I'd much rather a rx 480 than it, but if I'll have no choice then gtx 760 it is

The flip ups, the old tech for cheap, the tech yes loving? The good times are back! We're eating good lads. That red HAF system is a beaut!

The best part is all the video, really love the "zero to hero" vibe of this series. I just wish there wasn't that huge of an inflation in my country i would love to give it a try myself, but here isn't much room for deal hunt's, everyone is already asking very high prices for used hardware. Anyway, i hope to see this to the end and learn a lot more, maybe one day i would do it.

@@techyescity I'm from Argentina, you know 140% anual inflation economy in rescesion. I still think there is a little room for deal hunt but it takes way more time and effort. TTo give an example i see ppl selling an i5 9th or 10th for about 180 USD just the CPU. I think this is happening becouse of speculation in the hardware market, since there was a limit for importations. I hope those issues along with others change with new president starting today is 4 year thing.

I love this series so much and since i like to tinker with computers and sell them this is inspiring to me.

Great to see this channel thriving 👏. Fantastic content as always!

12:19 you are a legend mate. The message you sent 😂 banger !

Hey Brian, just wanted to correct what you said at 8:48 as your friendly electrician/pc enthusiast. Molex is only 12V, which isn't dangerous really... you'd be hard pressed to even feel it. Think about a 9V battery, and how you have to lick it to even feel a teeny buzz of electricity. Granted, there's more current coming from molex, but even still, you'd barely feel it on dry skin, if at all. For reference, wiring in houses is 120-240V, which is more like the range where things start getting very dangerous, and industrial settings are often up to 600v+. Hope this helps, loving the series!

Really like the look of those old HAF cases also bonus that the OG sata cables even matched color scheme.

Love the red. Wish more companies would make red cases and cards.

Love this trade up series, fun to watch. Most of al good to see you having a blast too. Cheers.

Thanks Bryan, these are so fun to watch and it's awesome seeing how much you're enjoying it too! Truly a hustler at heart. Cheers

The new channel art style is as rad as the ol' HAF series. Gaming PC aesthetic peaked at late 00s and early 10s.

Love this series. Your used pc parts vids are my favourite.

Absolutely love this series. Deals, dramas, dirty components and a dose of tech yes lovin!

Great to see you get your groove on :) best part of the video is your happy face, you can tell that you are in een better state of mind the a few month ago!

Glad the confrontation didn't escalate further for you, especially over $20. I'm out in the desert in the US and too far away to spend on gas to travel and do the kind of parts hunting you're able to but I also have a wee bit of a temper when dealing with scammers so I'm content to do my parts hunting on line even though shipping adds to costs that I'm forced to pass on to my would be customers. Anyway, love the content and the very informative things I'm picking up by watching this channel. Please keep up the budget builds man! Thanks!

Good video. I had an exact same CPU+mobo (i7-3770+AsRock) aand used to OC that CPU a bit (up to 4.2 GHz stable). Just a nostalgia kick-in, for me.

Been doing the flipping deals a while now as well. Found out that a thrift shop near my house sells mice and keyboards for just 1 euro a pop. Same goes for cables. Stocked up on them and good thing I did ... because this month they have to close down. Might be back next week as then everything will be free.

This is my favorite series now, all the videos you want to make like this, I will watch and enjoy. 😎

Loving this series.

This is one of my favorite serieses ever on the entirety of youtube, please continue

That left over pc will pair great with a 970. The fact you fan pick em ip for under 100 now is a bit of a gem. Maybe even a 1060. Either will be fine. Should leave you with 200 and you hopefully should he able to make a new pc for 200. Its amazing how quick you work. This is for sure one of my favorite youtube series

I can not wait for episode 3, I am relatively new to the channel and loved the first 2 episodes, kind of inspiring me in my own journey, I’m compiling a list of parts for my own build (looking at new parts) but once I’ve built a PC for myself, I might branch out into making used builds to flip :)

The flip up series and budget banger builds in general are what brought me here. I love seeing what some of the older hardware is still capable of. Probably one of my favorite pcs I built recently is an i7 3770 and an r9 280x with 16gb of ram.

This series is shaping up to be a fun one! Keep up the solid work!

This is really fun to watch!

I actually jumped in joy after seeing this uploaded! Loving the series.

Man I love this series. It gets me so hyped up, that someone finds good deals, makes them decent and sells them so people can still use it for gaming. Can't wait for episode 3.

Corsair power supplies are really good. I've been using a cx450m in my main system for close to 5 years with no problems. Even though it markets itself as a 450w its more of a 550 in total. 448w on the 12v and combined 110w on 3.3v and 5v!

1) Seen ep1, liked it, looking forward to this one (liked it) 2) Spotting random e45 in driveway 3) Seen solution (that hibernate mode issue) that helped me with unrelated issue on work laptop Great stuff :)

I am really enjoying this, seems like a fun challenge! Absolutely agree with asking if a seller has extra stuff. I find that they are sometimes sitting on really good deals.

Thanks for the tip @Tech YES City, I'm robbing the bank in the morning.

A little bit of drama but glad you got things sorted out. I would have tried to replace those fans in the PSU but I know you are crunched for time and needed to keep moving. One fan is better than none though. Nice job and we’ll see you in the next one! 😊

I'm just about to build my first PC in a HAF case that I've had for at least 15 years, so I was so happy when I saw yours. My son has one also that he still uses and I've given him carte blanche to repaint the case any way he wants to. It'll be interesting to see it when I move back to Australia at the end of the year

that red cooler master HAF case is so cool! i managed to get that case just for $20 still in good condition, has all the PCI-E shields, good condition 200mm fans and complete screws. I wanna use this case for my next high-end PC cuz for now i'm still using M-ATX PC xD

Awesome show

I'm now invested on this series. Please keep doing great contents!

Dude, that red HAF is so cool. Blast from the past.

those HAF cases are so cool to me, ive never seen them in anything other than black though. and whenever i see them for sale theyre actually kind of pricey for an older case, i think people like them so they hold some value. and that gpu and case look great together, nice happenstance. also that psu seems kind of cool, 2 separate 12 volt rails is nice.

Keeping the old hardware alive! I love it!
