We took a trip to the Houston, TX Micro Center and upgraded my brother's SERIOUSLY OUTDATED gaming PC while we were there! I built this rig over 6 years ago and it sports an old, low-frequency Xeon and R9 Fury X. My poor brother... let's help him out!

The hate on the RTX 4060 Ti is real. And I get it - every tech RU-vidr clobbered it. But Brandon wanted an efficient card with DLSS for some of the games he plays. The 4060 wasn't released as of time of filming. And those screaming "6700 XT!!!" need to understand that not everyone has a preference for AMD - even when perf./$ is clearly on its side. You'll see even more of it when season 2 of Gear Up airs. Personally, in an $800 budget, I'd have gone with a used RTX 3080 or thereabouts for around $400, but it obviously wasn't possible during this in-store challenge. I hope this clears things up a bit. Thanks for watching!

@AxTROUSRxMISSLE Год назад

The 4060ti is as good or better than the 6700XT, around the same price and if you are upgrading from an old PC, there is nothing wrong with it. Same deal with the 7600 from AMD. People need to get over it honestly. If you have a 3060, yeah sure the 4060ti is dogwater for an upgrade.

@edwinwelch1946 Год назад

gah at that 4060ti. You should of put in some extra and got a better card.

@NonLegitNation2 Год назад

yeah I am constantly upgrading stuff. i built my first rig about 4yrs ago I went from a R5 3600, 16GB DDR4 3200, a $65 MATX motherboard and a refurbished GTX 1060 to what i have now a R9 5900X, RTX 3080, 32GB DDR4 3600, and i just upgraded my mobo yesterday to a MSI MEG B550 Unify-X. In that 4yrs I've had 3 different CPUs, 4 different GPUs, and 4 different motherboards. Luckily I've been able to sell all my old major components, for example i bought the RTX 3080 used on ebay a few months ago for $560 and sold my RTX 2070 Super one day after listing it for $225. It's time to upgrade my RAM now to 64GB I think.

@@NonLegitNation2 Most of my past gpus have been used, and upgrading the pc is more fun than actually gaming sometimes lol. Also great that AM4 supported so many generations, and just so simple to drop in a new cpu and breathe even more life into it

@NonLegitNation2 Год назад

@@Bdot888 exactly. That is the reason why I haven't upgraded to AM5 yet, because I don't want to have to buy a new CPU, mobo and RAM. I think I'll stick with my R9 5900X for atleast 2yrs, or until I find a good deal on a 5950X. Hopefully within 2yrs the price overall for AM5 components will drop some.

The motherboard was a mediocre choice. Those DS3 boards almost always have garbage VRM components, and mostly without cooling.

@charginginprogresss Год назад

wow 4060 ti is super overkill for a 5600, you want no bottleneck or at most slight GPU bottleneck, but 5600+ 4060 ti is definitely CPU bottleneck and not even that small. Afaik best match for a 5600 is a 3060 ti, and 4060 ti is basically a 3070 ti, so cpu bottleneck.

The Double Helix in the front of the case is still awesome to look at. It's amazing that the AIO is still functioning considering that it was a much maligned version that many people thought would break because of the glass tube coming off of the block.

I see a lot of people not believing he played for so long on that PC, and I'm not sure why. He had a 1060 starter rig (basically), but with much better RAM. There are a ton of these rigs out there, basically the majority of gamers are using something similar, and they are using them for a reason: They are dirt cheap to build, there are plenty of them floating around on Ebay for even cheaper, and they will literally play anything... just with pretty low settings when you start to move into modern titles.

How the hell did you have such great RAM in that old thing? It must have cost a fortune when you first bought it. It took a long time for RAM that fast to come down in price. Absolutely nailed the build BTW. 4060Ti is perfect for what he needs, and very power efficient. You can’t go wrong.
