I Built This PC for $1360 in 2010. Here's How It Holds Up. 

New Video: I Bought This PC For $750 in 1999. Here's How It Holds Up In 2017. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dy07b6hlUGg.html thanks for visiting 🙏

A man built a computer in 2010. This is what happened to his heart.

I Built This PC for 1360 in 2010. Here's how I made my money back by uploading this video in 2017

This guy is talking about owning an old pc with I7, and im here in 2019 with a Core 2 Duo.

Yeah cool Now show us the pc you built in 1360 for $2010

Holy fucking shit 7 years have passed since 2010... guys...

This guy inspires me, he's a medical doctor, he is very tech savvy, he is philosophical, a gamer, a youtube content creator and a powerlifter. I see myself as tremendously inadequate when I see Bernard but not in a bad way. In a way that inspires me to achieve more and that I can do so much more with my life.

It's crazy how much longer computers last now. I built a gaming PC in 2012 for $1,000 with an 3770k and 16 GB ram. Other than the video card dying a few years back (where I just purchased a $50 replacement) and upgrading the ram around that same time to 32 gb (for equally cheap), it was fine until recently when I really started seeing mediocre performance in games and upgraded. And honestly, for regular use, it would still be very fast. You just couldn't have that kind of longevity with computers in the 90's and 2000's.

Came for the weight loss, stayed for the good content. Keep it up, Bernard!

thanks everyone for the support on the last video. i really appreciate it. Summertime is here this weekend in USA, so Weekends with Bernie is back! 🌞🌞🌞

a man built a $1360 pc in 2010. This is what happened to his wallet.

I saw his CD drive was made by LG and thought "lol I didnt know LG made that". Then I looked at my 5 year old current pc and it's the exact same drive. facepalm

wtf he is a doctor, bodybuilder, techy, has a successful youtube channel AND speaks spanish??? wtfff

3 ghz in 2002. my laptop from 2015 still running on frickin 1.5 ghz... 1.5 GHZ

Man.... watching this on a pc with a R7 5700X, 32gb of 3600MHZ Ram (unthinkable back in 2010), and a RTX4060TI that could take that 970 to the moon and back 10 times is crazy.... computers really have come such a long way. even more crazy to think that even my computer which is significantly more recent would only be considered on the high side of the mid end spectrum/ on the low side of the high end spectrum.

The problem with overwatch is that you'll be playing overwatch, regardless of the frame rate.

In 2018, I still use my gaming PC bought for $1000 in 2009. The only considerable upgrade was last year, when I ditched my HD 5870 for a GTX 1060, added 2GB of RAM to get an 8GB total, changed the case and some coolers. It runs just about everything with fairly good perfomance at 1080p and will serve me at least more 2 or 3 years. The longevity of RAM, motherboards and CPUs has improved big time in this decade.

Who else is watching this in 2024?

2010 was closer to the year 2000 than it is to 2023

But... CAN IT RUN CRYSIS !??

I hope computer modding won't ever go away..

A good nail clipper can last you a lifetime.

Again when you build a computer you feel like you accomplished something it's a hell of an experience and you keep a computer upgraded and well taken care of it will last you for years

"I married my wife in 2010. Here's how she holds up in 2018". We divorced 8 years ago. She took my house, my money and my virginity. Now I am homeless, without money and living in an internet cafe.

built a good PC, but lost some weight.. this is againts the law of physic..

I Built This PC in 2010. In 2017 I still use the CPU and the box. All the others have been replaced.

7 years later in 2024 i can only wonder how that computer is holding up

Wow. Bodybuilder, doctor, and techy.

'RTX 2780TI , Intel i11-15000k , 2 DDR7 128 GB Ram sticks , 30 TB SSD , 1 Pentabyte HHD' for $1.2k in 2028? since computers are supposingly getting 'cheaper' from 12k to 1-2k

2013 built a pc for 850$ of all components 1step below the most expensive, It still holds up but now I can't upgrade. RAM and GPU are 3x more expensive than back then. Intel 3770K, Asus Radeon 7990 3GB, 8Gb RAM, OCZ vertex 4 128GB SSD.

Man builds pc for 1k bucks in 2010, here's what happened to his brain....it was happy that's all it was happy.

Hi everyone! I posted a new video "I Got this Laptop for Free in 2008. Here's How It Holds Up In 2017" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aRGjYeQe0ao.html thanks for visiting 🙏

I upgraded this PC with an x5650 processor. Here's the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KtjactGqJLg.html thanks for visiting 🙏

I'm still using the Asus tower I bought for $899 in early 2012. Still running Windows 7 too. It came with Intel Core i7 (3rd Gen) 3770 / 3.4 GHz, 2 1TB SATA drives (1HDD & 1 storage drive), 16GB of DDR3 SDRAM, NVIDIA GTX650 Ti with 2GB SDRAM, DVD RW, 16 in 1 card reader, 7.1 channel surround audio. I haven't upgraded it at all except to add a 5TB external drive (have an extensive movie and TV show collection). I've looked at some new desktops lately and I'm not all that impressed, although I am interested in getting a SSD for the speed it offers (or maybe a hybrid drive).

1:46 I was waiting for a ITS WEDNESDAY MY DUDES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really admire how clean you have kept the case, for 7 years there's usually bound to happen a couple scratches and finger prints everywhere, but you have kept it in an amazing condition

when your 980ti looks like a gpu from 2010 :'(

THIS IS WHAT BROUGHT ME INTO YOUR CHANNEL AND THE MEDICAL VIDEOS MAKE ME STAY.

The funny thing is even now, 6 years later, this thing is more than usable. A simple bios update, x5675 or better xeon paired with a 1080 ti or similar graphics card, this computer would still pump out good frames even on newer games.

Still more powerful than a ps4 pro.

You sir, have earned my subscription. Awesome video, the nostalgia was heavy with this one....

Great video! You sum up the differences in the advancement of technology in the 2000s versus the 2010s very well. The 2000s technology definitely had more innovation while the 2010s technology enabled people to do things faster. I also built my own PC In 2008, where it had a Core 2 Quad Q9300, 4GB of RAM, and a 9800 GTX. I later upgraded the RAM and GPU, and that rig lasted me until 2019 when it finally died. Pretty amazing that I was able to get over 11 years of use from that PC, and it still ran fine. If the timeline was shifted the other way, where you have a 1997 PC being used in 2008, that would not be feasible at all. You can even see this with mobile devices as well. In 2000, we had basic candy bar cellphones, but we ended the decade with smartphones in 2010. Ten years later in 2020, the basic fundamental technology of smartphones generally remained the same, but we just now have faster smartphones.

The fact that Chubby still uses the music from 2:55 is great

Wow really timely. I built a computer back in 2011 for about $1400, and I've been thinking about doing some upgrades myself, possibly a whole new built. Good to hear your perspective!

*A doctor makes a video about his 2010 computer's performance. This is what happened with his brain*

This is crazy, I just dusted out and restarted my 2010 high school computer and its basically the same feeling from this video. She still runs and also I poured my heart and soul working summer jobs to save up and buy parts for it. I now use it as my home server and she still rocking all her original hardware. Don't throw her away, don't create e-waste.

Even today, 24gb of ram is still quite a great amount. It's more than what most prebuilt PC's come with out of the factory.

I think, if you are going to build a new PC, you should take us (The viewers and subscribers) with you. Unboxing, building, changes etc. I think quite a few would be interested to see what you'd be doing with the PC. Your choice though of course :)

you content is actually superb, I even like your talk videos on motivation and shit. I dont even know how I found the channel. but what I like about you is you do unspecialised content; never know what youre gonna make. I kinda like that, most RU-vidrs specialise in one type of video and do the same thing over and over, whereas you do whatever you feel like and make a video; and to me thats awesome! keep it up! :)

This PC presented to the emergency room... Old

I built this PC for $1360 in 2010. Here’s how much I had to upgrade to keep it relevant in 2017

1:01 Look who the article’s written by.

Good to see I'm not the only one using a 2010 PC, I have the V10 cooler which is a bit bigger than that one, absolutely overkill haha. Looks like we have the same issue with the old motherboard too regarding SATA3/USB3.

I dont know why youtube recommended me this video….but I thought you did medical videos? This is a refreshing experience

"There are not many upgrades" *RYZEN ENTERS THE CHAT*

I was so high during this video I started freaking out about all the history

Hey everyone! I posted a new video "These Tech Ads From 1999 Are Ridiculous. How Do They Compare to Today's Ads?" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fkSe8CaAJnc.html thanks for visiting 🙏

My father bought a prebuilt pc in 2010 with many components inside it that were sitting in warehouses since late 2008. It had 6 GB Ram Stock, an Intel Pentium E5400 and a 750GB HDD. My family kept using it after my father's passing due to pancreatic cancer until 2016 when they got a imac and I had been using it ever since until a few days ago when I bought a better pc.

8:00 Your predictions came true. I am still using my ryzen 7 1700x with gtx1080 build today in 2024, and I still don't feel the need to upgrade. It wasn't even 2000 to build it.

This video was awesome. Great information!

I'm still using Windows 3.1

Watching this in 1/2024. Strange how this video popped up; but hey I love nostagia. What you can build now for just $500 today is amazing. Time for a new build.

Pleasantly surprised to see Chubbyemu a member of the PCMR.

Good job on your weight loss 😀😀

for some reason this video didn't show in my sub feed but got recommended to me

A content creator built his pc in 2010. This is how his RAM shut down.

Who else just loves the satisfying music at 3:00 ?

Even if it makes the tech world significantly less exciting as a result, I'm actually pleased with the fact that we get to keep our stuff for longer and longer. Apart from the SSD and graphics card, which have been upgraded in 2015 and 2016 respectively, all of the parts in my computer were purchased in 2012. I am only now considering an upgrade of the base platform, not because of the performance which is still fine, but for small things like having more SATA3 ports, NVMe support, and better connectivity in general.

Title of video misleading! The computer isn't exactly from 2010, you mentioned it yourself that you upgraded your SSD, RAM and your GPU from a 460 to a 970. By making those upgrades you have changed 75% of your PC from 2010, so it isn't really the PC you used from 2010 anymore, rather the PC from 2015! We want to see how all the original parts of the PC from 2010 holds up in today's day and age in general use and current titles.

Needs ANOTHER video 7 years later, 14 years after purchase

His pc is from 2010 and have led lighting inside the PC This guy was ahead of its time

Seen the quality of the Vid, subscribed instantly.

This video was really entertaining man, it was cool to see the history of your computer, keep it up!

The raw recording db in the background lookin real scrumptiously cranked

I kept my last 2 computers (one desktop I built, and one laptop amazingly) for 7+ years each. I did do a couple upgrades to the desktop in those times. Laptop never had any upgrades, except going from 8 to 16gb ram right when I got it. I built my current desktop about 2 years ago now (Nov 2021). It's still amazing, and I expect it to last me another 5+ years no problem.

ahhh the days of 32mb ram

Haha, I designed those clamshell backings for the OCZ XTC RAM you have. You sure kept everything in great shape. If you ever called or dealt with OCZ support or marketing from 2002-2009, you probably talked to me. -Sean

Crazy that nowadays you can live every day with 10+ years old computer parts. It's really similar to what I did in the last 13 years. I Bought a setup in 2010 with the same gigabyte gtx 460 1gb, with a phenom ii 925, 4x1gb ram and a 770 board. I used it for almost 7 years. Then, the PSU died. Just for good measure I bought a new 600w cooler master PSU, 970 chip board, a new case and a new ssd, although I would only needed a new PSU, nothing else. Again it lasted for about another 5 years when I "upgraded" with an FX-8370 and 4x4 gigs of 2400Mhz RAM, and an RX580. Then the 970 MoBo's VRM died because it couldn't really handle the 125w cpu. Once again I upgraded with a new 650w 80+gold modular PSU, a 10 years old but new condition 990FX mobo, a huge cpu cooler, an NVME, a cm mb520 case, and a 6700XT Red Devil. A 10 years old ddr3 build, with a pathetic fx processor and an overkill bottlenecked GPU, but you know what? I really like CP2077. As soon as DDR5 becomes a bit cheaper I will directly upgrade from DDR3 to DDR5 after almost 15 years and I only need a board a cpu and some ram. And instead of buying all new stuff, I also took all the old 770/Phenom parts with the RX580, slapped 4x4gbs of ram and some RGB in it and now my gf happily plays on it every day.

Mine's was around $1000 in 2009, still plays GTAV medium settings at 75fps, csgo all maxed out at 100+ fps

story of my life "lol cable management"

I'm so mad I didn't know about this channel till now. Got yourself another sub.

i’m on mobile and the whole title didn’t show before i clicked on it. i was expecting a title like “i built a pc for $1360, this is what happened to my kidneys.”

You can still over clock that thing, upgrade the GPU and still have a pretty decent experience

Why the unusual amounts of RAM? 6gb, 24gb? Why not 8, 16 or 32?

I have almost the same setup as you do here, i am running a Gigabyte X58A with a i7 930 & 12gb of ram, i have had this PC live for 7 years now with only ever upgrading my graphics card from a gtx 460 to a 960 and soon one of the 1000s series, my computer has lasted longer then 80% of my friends and all of them are always telling me to upgrade from such old parts. This setup has been the most reliable setup i have ever had, also surviving - Win 7 - Win 8 - Win 8.1 and now Win 10. If you are in the market for building a computer, building one with these old parts would only cost you about $700 and the graphics card would be the highest price tag. Nice video keep up the grate work :)

Good old train video from 1987. I watched that video like a year or 2 ago. Nice throwback, I appreciate it, although I was born in 2003 and didn't start remembering before 2008.

I rocked a 970 strix up until a month ago, that card refuses to die, it's in a mini gaming rig as of right now that's going to be my friends first PC

First off, the i7-930 is a FIRST Gen Core i series. Sandy Bridge (2x00) were the second gen. Also, depending on what program you use for video encoding a fast NVidia GPU would speed rendering up a lot more than a faster/newer cpu would.

Hey Bernard! I just wanted to say that I was initially attracted to you because of your weight loss videos, but I am definitely loving your other content. It is all very high-quality, and I just really love your personality. You're just a funny, quirky, down-to-earth dude, and I really like it. I literally died when you mocked someone who was making fun of your "soft, estrogenic asian body." I will never forget that. It was hilarious. Don't worry so much about maintaining an audience based on niche content. You'll always have a loyal group of people who like you simply for you!

Coming from 2024, when driver support for the GTX cards has been ended and AMD is working on an APU more powerful than a brand new PC from 2017. Nvidia is still developing the RTX 5090 and Intel has burst into the GPU scene and has a very competitive upscaler that beats FSR. How time flies...

i built my PC at the end of 2010 also. paid 1300 bucks for it minus the OS and a monitor. basically the same computer that you have. i have only upgraded to a 1TB SSd and a GTX 980 2 years ago and thats it. i just got a 4k monitor and a occulus rift and it can still play games but it struggles. i finally upgraded to an I9 and a new motherboard/ddr4 but i kept everything else the same from 2010. the case and the power supply cords. youre completly right about the whole upgrading for something new. i would still have been able to use my old computer if i stayed in 1080p instead of upgrading to 4k. once i got something new i had to upgrade to keep up with it. this beast will last another 8 years unless they find out how to surpass the 7 ghz processors for a reasonable price. and the video cards.. lord i want a 2080 but they are so freaking $$$

I literally said "lol cable management" at 0:15

hey man, great vid. eBay Xeon w3680 or w3690 CPUs, they aren't that expensive and are 6 core/12 thread and should work in your board. Also they are unlocked so you can OC them easily, and this should help your streaming massively (besides using a capture card and streaming with a second PC). Your PC is still a monster, ride it till the wheels fall off! maybe continue to utilize the PCI and PCI-E expansions to add more usb 3.0 and sata III ports too. Used 980tis are going for $250 or less as well! Rock on, man!

Holy moly, I have that same motherboard! I even have a Maxtor IDE drive that looks exactly like yours. Whether you have Rev1 or 2 of that board, it is outrageously good. You seriously can't find a modern motherboard which features that many SATA connectors. Six is a lot by today's standards, and 10 is just unheard-of. The rarest feature might just be those combination USB2 and eSATA ports (the ones in yellow on the back I/O). I loved the fantastic transfer speed you could get on eSATA, but it was always a hassle finding a way to actually power an external drive for it. That, and it not being hot-swappable makes sense that it didn't stand the test of time. Additionally, having no internal header for USB3 front I/O is a real bummer. The most surprising realization was this board using DDR3 RAM. I misremembered it using DDR2. I completely forgot just how old that standard is by now, despite my main computer also still using DDR3, albeit with a great XMP in comparison. So many RAM slots is also a scarcity today. Only high-end boards seem to feature more than four. Those IDE and floppy connectors are very much appreciated, too. I happen to have small bunch of functional IDE and floppy drives, and it's great to still get some use out of them. Great video, and thank you for a pleasant blast from the past.

Nice video. Myself bought my pc summer 2011. An I7 2600 sandy bridge at 3,4Ghz, 4 cores and 8 threads. Today I have upgraded Gpu go a Vega64 Liq, 16Gig DDR3 1600Hz, 2 ssd for os and my game drives. I also bought a cpu watercooler hx105 and overclocked my sandybridge go 4,45Ghz. This computer run so smooth I have no reson to exchange it. Instead of buying a new pc I invested in an ultrawide 3440x1440p 100hz VA monitor with freesync. The first computer I composed myself and The best, longlasting computer I ever had. Its now 8 years old, stable and fast enough. :)

Wow I'm finding alot of similarities, to a point where it's kinda weird. - Mine was also built in 2010. - Was around the same price. - Also still is my main PC now. And the specs which are quite similar: - i7-950 - 6GB RAM - GTX460 (also Gigabye), replaced as well. - 60GB OCZ Vertex SSD, problematic too. - Cooler Master Haf-X Casing Played SC2 as well. Also is my most stable PC, OCZ SSD aside (they fixed it much later with firmware updates). Only Windows7 installed till now though. My next PC should be an Intel NUC. Thanks for this video!

For editing ,you should check that cuda acceleration is enabled,because my pc is worst than that and it render way faster than yours.

My story is similar. I recently built a new gaming rig, replacing my 11 year old gaming rig from 2012. it had an Intel Core i7 3930k 6 Core, 32GB DDR 3 Ram, an Nvidia GTX 680 - 4 GB GPU, which i replaced with two GTX 970's in an SLI configuration, and then, eventually upgraded to an Radeon RX 6700 XT. 8 TB HDD storage, and a Corsair 80+ Platinum 1050 Watt PSU. As i mentioned before. Even though the upfront cost was expensive back in 2012, I made sure that my system was built to last. Finally it just got to the point were the CPU and Ram were bottlenecking my gaming experience, and the motherboard was also on it's last leg. IMO, the i7 3930k was an absolute monster CPU. Performance was rock solid, and I never had any stability issues during my time with that CPU. Initially it had an AIO water cooler, that ended up dying after a year or so. I just replaced it with an inexpensive air cooler and its been that way ever since. My new computer is my first complete AMD build, and it's been quite the learning experience for me.

I remember when this guy had
