I Bought a £150 ($200) Gaming PC From Facebook - But What's Inside?

- I've had mixed experiences with the Marketplace on Facebook. I've found some great deals but have also been ripped off too so when I saw this PC up for sale I was a little apprehensive.
The ad said that it featured an i5 and an aging but once powerful Nvidia GTX graphics card, so I threw all caution aside to see if what we were picking up was really as advertised. Safe to say I was pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for watching :) - Věda a technologie

That part with the seagulls was so random and I loved it.

seagull walked away when it got caught
They were after the pc too.
I like how you took all the parts out & cleaned it up really nice. I do the same thing in my local area & re-sell the PC for just a few extra bucks after I make sure it's all working correctly. I became disabled due to a work accident 2 years ago & can't work a 'regular' job any more... That's a *_VERY_* nice PC for only $200.00, and I love the case (chassis)! My older PC (I built a newer one recently) has an OC'ed i5-4690K & a Gigabyte GTX 970 (4 GB) G1 Windforce GPU. It *_still_* plays most AAA games well as long as you tweak the settings a bit, as you mentioned in your video. Honestly the 4GB Vram on the GPU REALLY helps a lot. A used GTX 970 would work great in this PC & you could still sell the GTX 770 for a few bucks to recoup some $$$. You got a super deal; thank you for sharing your experiences. Subscribed.
This is almost exactly what my computer is. I call him Wilson. I built him myself, he was my first born.
Grundogs me too but god it’s sucks to hear the price of that entire system when I think how long I had to save to build mine all those years ago, mind you I still use it (admittedly I don’t really play modern games anyone) so it was definitely money well spent.
Is Wilson doing good.
My main pc rig I have now I bought pre built because researching the parts at the time it wasn't much difference in price. I won't be buying pre built again, not because there's anything wrong with my rig just I forgot how much I love building my own. Just upgraded an old htpc and remembered what it is like building my own.
@@henryfielding6961 I bought quite an expensive rig a few months ago, briefly played warzone and one or two other quite new games. Got sick of them now I play Slay The Spire, Dead Cells and a few other games on xbox game pass my 10 year old previous pc could probably handle. Considering how much some pc components are now I dont regret buying it though.

that 2gb vram is really hurting performance
But if u overclock that 770 it will get very close performance to an GTX 1050-GTX 1050 TI in modern games...

@@makaylaserniotti1474 overclock its free...
@@rodrigofilho1996 it really won't. That lack of VRAM is really hurting and holding it back more than than an overclock. Yeah, it will get around the 2gb 1050 performance with an OC, but not the 4GB 1050 ti
VRAM usage has taken a jump these last few years
and technically overclocking is not free....per say. Your gpu uses more power, thus more electricity, thus a higher bill. Even if it's marginal.....not technically free per say.
but your point stands, he should OC
@@rodrigofilho1996 1. The hassle of overclocking a 770 with 2gb of vram is annoying.
2. A new graphics card will not only solve the issue but also increase the longevity of the system.

Why is there never any good deals near me, but around the country there are bargains.
I'm always watching deals. I just snagged a 1080 for $300. Same situation. I called first and so did like 50 other people. First come first serve, and paid asking price so I got a phenomenal deal.

One of the first videos I found on your channel Steve you inspired me to get into pc gaming thanks man 🙏
it's always interesting to see these videos of old pcs and how well they perform, but I always wonder how much better they can do when their main bottleneck is upgraded, I think that would be even more interesting to see
Wow, great deal, the CPU alone is worth close to the full price.
Yea, pay for the name Intel
naisu keep up and thats one good build for 150 pounds
ill be glad just to take the cpu and mobo for this price :D
This is such wholesome content. absolutely stoked i got recommended your channel under "topic, pc" keep up the great work, already watched several videos.
🤗
Never mind the pc "how do you get your hedges so straight lol... thank you for the upload!!
This made me want to check facebook marketplace. There are 3 pc's. One of them has this exact same case with similar specs but is listed at $600... It is also the closest thing to a "deal" on there. Quite sad now.
Most people on FB think their gear is worth way more than it is, either that or they are just being assholes. You gotta just keep digging and checking. Parts deals are usually pretty good in my area, but full systems are way overpriced. Doesn't bother me though, because it means my well priced builds flip faster, lol.
Theres a ton of PCs near me. there's a "gaming PC" that you can tell from the photo has no graphics card in it for £110, some ancient HP and Dell stuff that looks like PC world specials from the early 2000s, a "Quad core with 2GB graphics (and no further details) for £200, a tpn of refurb office PCs that people have shoved half height GTX1050s in to try to flip them for a profit and a pretty nice looking i5-8400/gtx1050ti that actually looks pretty tasty apart from the fact it's £540 and I coult get the same thing brand new for that much. So I don;t see myself finding bargains any time soon on my local market despite it being pretty busy
Love how in battlefield 5 you did like a triple kill by killing your team mates 😂😂😂😂 love your videos tho
xD to be fair though, the AI did walk right in front of him. lol

I pick 3770ks up whenever I find cheap ones. Always make a good base for a cheap system. Still a brilliant cpu
I like that case a lot.

Also I wanna clean my pc but I'm nervous what do you recommend just outside clean surface and some compressed air and maybe a brush it's the cables that make me nervous maybe I could send you my pc and you could look at and do a video lol
That is a great deal for that PC. I am still using a 4670k with a 970 and it works great. That BitFenix case is still worth some good money too. Good pick up
7:13 that hurts....
This was an absolute bargain imo. A GPU upgrade and this would get you a nice boost in performance.
Mate, love the hoover in the back! Haha
dang nice find! was thinking it was gonna be a i5 1st gen
4:32 - Dave develops schizophrenia
Great deal, I would sell the GPU to bring the cost down then buy a very cheap rx 470

What an absolute bargain. They come very rarely but you were lucky to get in so quick.

Just recently upgraded from a 4690K. A huge difference in performance going to an 8600K. The 4670K/4690K are still great processors for gaming. I had mine paired with an Asus Strix 1080 and was pretty consistently above my 75hz refresh rate.
A happy user of i5 4670K here! Using it for 5+ years already, and still waiting for something decent to jump on, as this i5 w/o OC (need to change cooler as my Contac 29 fins got a bit bent, and the cooler seems to not have the same performance as some years ago) handles my GTX 1080 without having bigger problems. It's really rare to see my CPU usage 90+% without the GPU having a similar value.
To sum up - if you have an option to purchase this CPU with a decent mobo for a low price - go for it!
Hey, Steve. Love your stuff. Are you going to try overclocking that 4670K on the motherboard it came with? If you use the right bios version, it should be totally doable. I hope you have a decent after market cooler that doesn't cost too much, though. I don't think you will get very far on the Intel cooler you got with this computer.

Maybe it's because you have the 4GB version of the 770.
@@mathze no there is almost no difference in performance between 2gb vs 4gb version
It could be due to this rig running an ITX mobo, the ones brought out around the Haswell era weren’t great. That and the fact Intel were sandbagging like crazy and Haswell wasn’t much of a step up from your Ivy Bridge chip. Are you using an ATX mobo? I’m guessing you are.
