For pure storage hard drives still have their place. For movies, music, documents, OS backups etc a hard drive is still going to give you better value. For gaming though SSDs are becoming a must. Hogwarts Legacy for example is just a pain to load from a hard drive.
Took mine a step further. My boot drive is a fast M.2 but my second drive is a refurbished spinning drive specifically because it was bulk and cheap. And ALL it is used for is Steam, Epic, XBOX PC, or Rockstar games, all of which can be downloaded again if the drive dies. It's good enough. It was cheap. And it actually tests fine for being refurbished. When I can get a cheap 2TB M.2, I will. My board has a second M.2 slot just waiting.
@@LatitudeSky I just ordered a 4TB HGST HDD (refurb) off of eBay for $29.99 ($32.07 shipped) for the same purpose. As long as it works that’s an unbeatable price.
@@LatitudeSky From C to H. My boot drive is a 1TB NVMe, D is a 3TB hard drive for documents and media, E is a 1 TB hard drive for downloads, F is my optical drive, G is a 500GB NVMe (in a PCI-E adapter) purely for games, H is a 500GB hard drive which to be honest just gets random crap dumped on it. I have SSDs in enclosures for backups of my OS and important files. I still have older backups on hard drives but it'd be a bad day indeed if I had to go that far back.
Jackson is funny in how he wont want to offend people with his feelings on the build as in: *I am not the biggest fan of how they ran this cable* versus **I FREAKIN' HATE HOW THEY RAN THE FAN CABLE** 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, had they done 2 exhaust on the top and 1 on the back, it would have probably looked a little better, and still only used 3 fans lol, that's my 2 cents. Great content guys!
I've been using a maono (maonocaster) audio interface for 2 years. It has a built in battery which sucks but you can take the interface anywhere with a laptop and make music or even game when you need to but idk who's doing that with an interface but then again there's always someone out there looking for this
The temu pc is starting to look very promising when it comes to parts. Maybe use all the temu parts you can find, then do the rest with wish? Would make a fun pc
I love snagging deals on the secondary market. I was able to put together my current Build for just under 700.00 I'm running a Ryzen 9 5950X that I snagged for 160.00, it was sold as defective but it worked perfectly for me after some BIOS adjustments. 180.00 For 128GB of Crosair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 Ram, 30.00 for 6 RGB fan upgrades. 60.00 for and ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240mm, 100.00 for LG Model No. 32UK50T 32" Class 4K UHD Monitor (Found it at a Goodwill) 130.00 for GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6600 EAGLE 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card, 35.00 for a Corsair 4000D AIRFLOW Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case. I used my existing 850W 80+ power supply and my existing MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard. I know that adding the current value of my Power supply and motherboard would put me over 700.00 but I choose not to add them in since I bought them for my old rig back in 2018. Buying on the secondary market can be great with a bit of negotiating skill and a LOT of Luck. Happy hunting!
I recently picked up an I5 8400 complete pc minus gpu and psu for $100 locally I tossed in a Coolermaster 600w modular and a 1080ti hybrid and have been using it as a $250 daily driver since. The i5 8400 is a solid choice for some cheap 1080 gaming
i was actually looking at this case in pink for the misses build, for ironically, an 8th gen i5-8600k build, but with a 12gb 3060, went with a corsair case instead lol
I have 2-2 TB nvme m.2s, 1-2tb hdd and, 1-512gb hdd to store pictures from every old phone, digital camera, and every important text or document for the past 30 years.
How much should I sell this computer for? MSI Z370-A Pro Motherboard i7 8700k ASUS GTX 1060 6GB Turbo 16 GB DDR4 Patriot Viper RAM @ 3000MHz 1 TB NVME M.2 2 TB HHD 119 GB SSD (2) 74.5 GB HHD 600W non rated PSU (white) Corsair H100i 240mm AiO cooler Kediers C-570 open air case with 7 RGB fans
I play halo, and trust me, tapping a fully-shielded enemy three times on the body and once on the head will yield a better result on the BR. I love what you guys are doing and I hope this trick will be of use!
With how cheap SSD’s are, isn’t it much more worth it to get a bigger second drive? 1tb ssd for an additional $40-$50 will go a damn long way. You can’t build a games library on your OS drive if it’s 240gb
there was no difference in dlss because cpu bottleneck this was clear because you dropped gpu usage and cpu usage stayed in 80's which is not 80% usage like most people think if you would showed all cores and threads you would see its not using them all so 80% usage is essentially 100% usage
Im curious, how come when i play warzone, my fps is capped at 60, I literally set my graphic settings to the lowest and the fps is just locked at 60, used msi afterburner and saw that the card was being limited and the usage was only 50%
I've noticed Thermalright has released some cheap ones, a 240mm for under $50. I wonder how it does being about the same price or a bit more than the peerless assassin and phantom spirit
Seriously everyone watching these daily reviews of these cheap pcs.... for $500 I built an i7 12700k, 32g ddr4 with 1 tb rig. I used my old gfx card but will upgrade when I'm ready. There are way way way better ways to spend yours or your parents hard earned money them these cheapo prebuilds.
@entezami777 I'm not at all saying it's bad. Just saying for the same price you can build your own with far better performance and future proofing. These ones they review sub $600 almost always are on dead platforms.
