I'm feeling you on this man. Your channel inspired me to start selling used parts builds when I was unemployed and a first it was great but since New years here in America, I've really been having a hard time selling PCs for more than $100 profit on the parts, even though im getting amazing deals!
it's not ur fault, we are sliding into a depression with deflation. Have u seen the news lately? The working poor have stopped going to McDonalds. Thats all u need to know. Moving forward I think new pc gamers are going to prefer ultra budget options and going back to buying an old prebuilt and simply plugging in a bus powered 3050 6gb themselves. And as far as games people will lean towards free to play games and setting sail on the high seas 😄 Ahoy Mi Matey! Ahoy! ⛵💀
Inspired me too. Sold my first one last month and have two listed. I feel you on the profit margins. $100 isn't a lot of profit for the time I spend but I'm disabled so I don't have a lot of job options. I like building and testing PCs anyway. Unfortunately my local market sucks and would be dangerous to do business in anyway so I am selling online only. That makes it even tougher because they have to pay for shipping and tax. And I have to be competitive with similar spec machines on Amazon that were literally just thrown together which is mildly infuriating, to say the least. I do have a plan for an AliExpress special spec build. E5 1650 V4 and reman RX5500 OEM. Might even try selling 'em on Amazon....But I also think that, outside of people who just want a cheap e sports machine, most people want a new platform because of how hard they've been pushing it on YT and in advertising. I'm also thinking of just buying used 3060s and refurbishing them and otherwise building with all new components. People are expecting AM5 to have the same longevity as AM4. I don't think that will be the case but you have to understand your customer.
Bad in my part of Canada too. Sales were terrible through February and I'm thinking I need to drop my prices if I want to move stock. Though some people on my local marketplace have been getting tons of reviews lately and all they sell are high end PCs (4080s and 4090 builds with i7-14000 at over $2k). Not sure if they are legit reviews or if there's actually a big market for expensive high end PCs in my area.
I don't know if it helps, but I often put in my description for PC's, "Equivalent or better performance to an RTX (fill in the blank with a 30 series card)." Like, if I'm selling a PC with an RTX 2070 Super or RX 5700XT, I list it as, "Better performance than an RTX 3060 12Gb."
The first generation of a new feature (in this case the Ray Tracing) is always passed up on. I was thinking of upgrading to an RTX 2070 from my GTX 1070 but after researching the performance compared to the 3XXX series i am more inclined to jump to that based on a small price increase. At least that's just my opinion.
@@ReaverSenpai Even at that, it still has okay Ray Tracing, that's why it's the only 2000 series card I'd be interested in. And anyone ray tracing on anything less than a 4070 Ti is giving way too much performance, in most games, to be worth it. It's a nice to have feature, hardly essential. The reason the 2080 Ti would be tempting for me is that it has 11 GB of VRAM. Yes, it's strange for it to have 11 instead of an even number like 12, but it's still enough to max out textures in pretty much any game at 1440p. Something the 3070 would struggle with in several games.
I’ve definitely seen the same thing with RTX 2000 series GPUs: they simply don’t sell well. At the moment I’m working only with 3000 series and 4000 series GPUs. It’s always like that I think, more than two-gen-old GPUs are far less desirable to the average user. Great stuff with the broken 3600!!! I had never seen nor thought about doing that. Great content as usual :)
🙂 the other problem are the sellers and invidia cards in general, invidia cards hold their value too well over time, so the older slower cards and priced almost the same as the new stuff, it makes no sense but thats still the market, so its obvious the normies are going to go with whatevers is newer, the same problem is happening in prebuilts, go look for urself, u still got prebuilts from one or two generations old and they want almost the same money. Sellers are dreaming.
Funnily enough for me in UK the best thing that sells rn is more budget builds with 900 n 1000 series cards, 2000 absolutely not moving (had a 6700 + 2060 6gb not move for a month), 3060 12gbs move quick with 10th gens, 12th gens + 3070s moving a bit slower but still selling, 4060/tis going REALLY FAST too
I just listed a PC with a 1080FTW. I might have to drop the price substantially just to move it. But I did just sell a build with a 3rd gen i7 and a 1650 for $350. It was even in an old case. Gotta be able to get at least $450 for a build that supports AVX2 and has a GPU with twice the VRAM and nearly twice the performance in a Q300L with RGB. I started it out at $550 to give my self some room to mark it as a 'closeout price' or some such nonsense in a couple of weeks. I don't have much in it because I already had the CPU and GPU which is one of my old ones. I have a 2600/5600 full ATX build on an Aorus Elite V2 with a RX6600 and it sat there for a month at $650. I've lowered it to $625 but if I go any lower, I could make more parting it out on eBay.

I knew after the last video, it wouldn’t be long until we got another flip up challenge video :D been waiting for this moment and was not disappointed ❤️
Was a well appreciated episode, always enjoy hearing how the market is going there for you. I liked the MATX cases you used in this episode, looks like enough space up top for a Rad and fans. I hate doing an air cooled build, then asked if I can toss in an AIO.
Another banger from TECH YES CITYYYYYY! Just want to echo the broken CPU pins, would probably eat the costs of slapping another fully functional one. Knowing it's broken, really makes buyers uneasy. But that's just my 2cents. Keep up the great videos mate!
Probably should've sold my 2080 for $1400 or whatever they were going for in the dark times but oh well. It'll end up in my backup machine whenever I come across a reasonably priced upgrade
If you have no plans for that 1030, perhaps you could experiment and try pairing it with something old like a Core 2 Quad as a basic office PC that could play decade+ old AAA games at 720p?
I’m kind of concerned with selling a PC that has a CPU with broken pins. Even if it works, I would’ve gotten a refund for it since it’s being sold to someone else. Or at least get a CPU with no broken pins to take its place. It wouldn’t be a problem if this was your personal build.
Love the series. I can also see that market in central europe slowed down. Many good PCs are still up on the market sites so its gonna be though for everyone. But I have one concern about your ryzen 5 3600 PC because... if a person who buy that PC would like to upgrade their CPU ... that ryzen 3600 will be unsellable :X
@@techyescity Come on Bryan, it is a 5 minute job with a hot air station, a donor CPU, bit of flux and a touch of leaded solder. Don't sell the duds when they are so easy to repair.
actually had a few of those cases a few years ago during an amazon sale and got them for $20 a pop. was a pretty good deal since all that they needed was about $5 rgb fan to look appealing enough to gamers.
I've had PC with 6700XT with brand new 12/13 gen i5/MB sitting for over a month at really good price vs similar with 4060/Ti ... Yet the moment I put a 3060 PC it sell super quickly with used CPU/MB... I guess Nvidia wont their marketing scheme a bit too much...
🙂 its because only invidia has legacy support, those cards will 'just work' with any old random motherboard or monitor or tv out there, any thrift store pc, and pc u find in the garbage. You can still post an RTX 3080 on pretty much any Core 2 Quad motherboard, u cant do that with Radeon. Thats why prebuilts also stick with invidia cards, it reduces customer returns because it will work with their old monitor or tv
I'm sitting on a 2700x and 2060 pc and have been for about 2 months now. I had it listed as a complete pc with monitor speakers keyboard and mouse and only got offers for just the pc, I changed the listing to just the tower and now everyone wants a complete setup.
Offer both, and that cpu is officially supported on Windows 11, it better have Windows 11 because normies already know by now that 10 is going to expire soon.
Dude I had a 2060 system as well, that thing was sitting for like 3 months before I finall sold. 10/16/30 series I have a lot more success, I also move RX 6000 systems really fast as well.
Would be interesting to see a series where you start off with a gaming pc beast and trade down to a potato. Like a series of examples what you should avoid when pursuing pc filling hobby / business. Buy a custom watercooled system and mark it down due to low demand. Then build non RGB gaming pc, next Dell optiplex, finishing off with an Athlon II potato
I'm re-watching this as I've managed to get ready for a flip - in Sydney, the second hand market is either so-tight (e.g., Ryzen 5 3600 for $100 - when 5 5600 is 139 brand new etc) or they sell it more expensive than brand new (3060 still in the second hand market for $500 "price is firm"). Maybe because of the economic climate, they don't want to "lose money" for when they paid for the premium price.
Your experience with RTX 2000 series is like my experience with RX6000 and RX5000 series. RX 6700xt and RX 6800xt performs like RTX 3070/3080 but no one wants to buy those builds for some reason. But whenever I put up a 3000 series build for sale, lots of interest (prior to February at least, February was a terrible month sales wise).
I personally wouldn't be comfortable selling those either- not because the PSUs were $10, but because of the quality of the units. The FSP 550w is a solid unit, i think it will be fine but a factory OC 3070 is kind of pushing it there. And the Raidmax 650w might be worse, but it depends on the oem model i suppose. Also the cooler master 700w in the first PC doesn't even have an 80+ rating and is over 10 years old?? Another thing about older power supplies is that they might not support newer sleep states at all. It's always worth testing sleep before you sell, make sure it doesn't randomly wake up on you. At the end of the day, bryan gives good support on his systems so I still think hes a great seller, I just don't agree with some of the spec choices is all
@@jacksonbtb571 Yeah guaranteeing your stuff is where it's at. I had a 4080 System come back with a 850 watt gold power supply (the PSU was new) being faulty, that old stuff man, a lot of it was built so well.
that gt1030 is actually the better gddr5 version and tbh i would keep since it is a nice little gpu to use in either slim ''desktop office'' pc or just as a test gpu also is nice that it is the silent version less to worry about annoying little fans screaming
Totally agree that higher end RTX2000 series builds seem to take far longer to flip.... It's a mental barrier to some buyers I believe regardless of the price to performance benefits.
Struggle is real right now. I have only been able to sell white PCs and they still take a while to sell. My other PCs I had to change parts to be able to lower prices. Hopefully the market gets better for sellers.
normally pc builders only clean install then update all the drivers. Normies are sometimes picky and they want to see nothing extra. Of course if they arrive and ask 'eh broh u got any games?' then u can go ahead and hook him up
🙂 yes thats a good pairing for us but for the normies they would prefer a 3050 8GB for it, similar horse power but it has a number 3 in it, normies prefer 3000 or 4000
hello Bryan! I scored a h310 mbo with i5 9400f ...question is what gpu should i try to uptain to cuple with this combo and flip that with the rest of the configuration in a rgb case? Best regards from Croatia
Trying my own flip up challenge and not doing so well. Surprisingly, it was the PC I thought nobody would want that is the only one I've sold. had a 3770S and 1650. I sold it for $350 USD($315 after fees). I already had most of the parts and only bought storage, RAM and a CPU. I have two builds listed, one with a R5 2600 and RX 6600 and the other is a Haswell i7 with a 1080FTW. I know the market is slow right now but if I wait too long they'll be a generation older. I might have $400 total in both of them. I already had the GPUs and the 2600; some RAM and already got my money's worth out of them. I don't need a second gaming PC because I also have a gaming laptop. I have the 2600 build listed for $625 and the i7 for $550. I'll probably give them a couple more weeks and then drop the price on both of them. I just need to sell them so I can build something with a more recent/desirable GPU. The 6600 is a decent GPU but it isn't anywhere near as appealing as a 3060. A 3060 is, for the time being, a solid 1440p GPU. A 5600X/3060 is the most popular build in the world right now so I'll probably go with a used 3060 and an inexpensive B650 platform. I don't think it is so much the used GPU that puts people off but the old platform. I think having a brand new AM5 or LGA1700 platform would sell a lot easier. It is what most of the TechTubers are pushing and what the customers are hearing.
🙂 normies dont' want radeon cards because when a normie asks around everybody tells them go invidia, plus invidia has legacy support for old hdmi tvs where if u go with radeon u have to have a compatible monitor
Hey Brian, you talk about the rtx 2000 series not selling well or for much less than you expected. What's your experience with AMD cards? Are they impossible to sell or do they bring less money?
stay far far away from radeon, they don't work with older monitors or older tvs, sometimes they work but sometimes they dont, u only do radeon if ur selling them a compatible montor and u make sure u explain to the customer that theres no garanatee ur PC will work with ur older stuff that u got at home.
🙂 its actually a good strategy, even retail stores such as Microcenter do it, when u come back u get a chance to upsell the customer and u also have a much better chance of a repeat customer
damn 3 RTX 3070 for 1050AUD thats like 211€ per card I barely get a 3060 for that amount of money and if I can that would be a hell of a deal around here
maybe you can try get a 5090 by the end of the year, good progress lol. heck i bet people would keep watching if you turn the series into a car then a house lol
Just want to say that in terms of power efficiency (measured in frames per watt), the 20XX cards are just dogs. The 30XX and 16XX cards are so much more efficient, and I'd guess that the 40XX are even more so. I wonder if that's why people are less interested in the 20XX cards. I would never use or recommend them myself.
It's sad that the 20X series doesn't hit with the typical market, but it makes sense. All people see is the "30" number and think it's better, even if it's a 3050 or 3060 or whatever, versus a 2070Super or 2080ti. Because ppl just don't know. My 2070Super will genuinely run whatever I throw at it with good fps 50-60+ on the hardest titles at near max settings... 2080ti is even better
I wonder if it's the 2000 series that's the problem or more the xx80 level, especially with a "Super" or "Ti"? For instance, if there's a 2080 Super, aren't you more likely to want a 3070? If it's a 3080TI, wouldn't you be more interested in a 4070? On the other hand, I would guess that a 2070 Super would be a sweetspot - they can be picked up quite cheaply, but do have appeal in the final system. However your experience is vastly more than mine. It's a theory ...
this is barely a sustainable biz model but rgb saves the day - techs need to flip but also service and build custom machines where the performance is better and with zen5 - possibly more value - of course prices for new blackwell gpu may sink these lofty goals - nvidia has a flaming moat and can keep prices high until there is serious competition and we just haven't seen it yet - it may not happen for 2-4 years
😊 ur not alone, i recently finished looking over 4 of my oem desktops and 2 of my oem laptops, and rite now im finishing the last of my pc rebuilding projects which is EIGHT gaming pcs, Once im done with those 8 I should be set for a couple years, and move onto fixing my motorcycle and suzuki samurai, theres always something to do 😎
Ive got a pc im about to sell with a i5-8500 and a rx 5600xt and I wanna bundle it with a full set up but im struggling to find budget banger accessories i dont wanna put too much money in if im not gonna get a decent return with how the market is in Melbourne at the moment. And not to mention AMD always take longer to sell 😑
Idkw but 20 series gpus have a stink on them. GTX still treating me right though. I still get the most recent Nvidia updates and my 1070 suits my needs for now. Personally I think the market will be flooded soon with 10 20 30 and 40 series cards. Bad Nvidia forecasting and a overproduction of 40 series gpus coming to market out of nowhere will bring prices way down. Manufacturers now know that they need to make their own silicon now to compete. Hold on for good deals imo
Sweet Baby Inc....... Yes or no........... DEI........... ESG....... SDG............ BlackRock Vanguard State Street.......... If so hell no ..... If not it's depends if it's a good product, game or movie.
Hmm.. I had 2 rigs with Ryzen and 2080ti and sold them each within a week. Same performance as rtx3070 with 3gb extra ram and wider memory bus. Aussie gamers are weird bunch haha
i dont think its entire rtx 2000 series that its hard to flip, its only 2080ti in particular and 2080 to some extent, because this card not popular, something like 2060/2060s/2070s still sell easily
🙂 i think u mite be rite, because even at Microcenter retail the refurbished popular cards that sell rite now are 1660 Super and 2060, maybe because not only the lower price but also the power supply requirements are pretty fair at only 500watt power supply
🙂 yes but if ur running Alan Wake 2 theres a massive performance difference between those two cards. The 1080 is missing certain GPU technologies, i forgot what they are but u can always look them up. The Radeon 5700 has the same problem too with AW2. Supposedly the game has some new patches for invidia 10 series cards so I believe the 1080 should be ok now 😊
That does seem a bit sketchy, but if it works I guess? I'd definitely give the case a shake while it's running a benchmark just to make sure that the connection on those pins is solid.
its because 2 is less than 3, thats how a normie would see it, they dont do research and even if they did they dont know what any of it means 😄 so stick with 3050 or newer invidia cards or your going to go Out of Business
I'm honestly just done with computers at this point. I just bought a new gpu, and it not posting. my last gpu dies for no reason and it was like $1000.

@@dragonfafnir4487 🙂 ok, well then lets just wait, im glad that u have a spare video card to hold u over, another dude on here just had his 580 die and he has no spare video card plus his cpu has no integrated graphics, it sucks not having extra parts
i dont get why people would like a 3050 over 2080 ti as the 2080 is about the same price 2rd hand yet 108% better lol, i do get that 2080 ti will be hotter but that not that bad as id take a hotter running card that runs better over the other one. all so had someone ask me why i picked a 980 ti AMP! and not 1060 and when i told them the 980 ti was better they called me a liar lol
🙂 NEW is King, these consumers are going online and checking specs and prices at newegg, microcenter, best buy, costco, and then they come to u and u want to sell them a 2080ti? they will laugh at u, sorry but thats how a normie would see it

Was a well appreciated episode, always enjoy hearing how the market is going there for you. I liked the MATX cases you used in this episode, looks like enough space up top for a Rad and fans. I hate doing an air cooled build, then asked if I can toss in an AIO.
Another banger from TECH YES CITYYYYYY!
Just want to echo the broken CPU pins, would probably eat the costs of slapping another fully functional one. Knowing it's broken, really makes buyers uneasy.
But that's just my 2cents. Keep up the great videos mate!
The donor pins were from an old AM2 cpu that is probably only good for a keychain.
This series is so good!
Really good video!
Thanks again. I find these inspirational.
Probably should've sold my 2080 for $1400 or whatever they were going for in the dark times but oh well. It'll end up in my backup machine whenever I come across a reasonably priced upgrade
If you have no plans for that 1030, perhaps you could experiment and try pairing it with something old like a Core 2 Quad as a basic office PC that could play decade+ old AAA games at 720p?
🙂 sure, it can run alot of lite games just fine such as Valorant or Rocket League
Always entertaining :)
Love the Megaman tee!!
man i love these vids
OMG FINNALYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING ANOTHER EPISOTE OF THE SERIES
always good Bryan
Black electrical tape works well to hide the ketchup and mustard PSU wires.
I’m kind of concerned with selling a PC that has a CPU with broken pins. Even if it works, I would’ve gotten a refund for it since it’s being sold to someone else. Or at least get a CPU with no broken pins to take its place. It wouldn’t be a problem if this was your personal build.
We want more videos of this series am new to the channel and i love it
V For Vendetta = Awesome movie.
Love the series. I can also see that market in central europe slowed down. Many good PCs are still up on the market sites so its gonna be though for everyone.
But I have one concern about your ryzen 5 3600 PC because... if a person who buy that PC would like to upgrade their CPU ... that ryzen 3600 will be unsellable :X
Yeah I might just see if I can solder the pins back on before the flip.
@@techyescity Come on Bryan, it is a 5 minute job with a hot air station, a donor CPU, bit of flux and a touch of leaded solder. Don't sell the duds when they are so easy to repair.
New Tech Yes video and here I am again ! 🎉
actually had a few of those cases a few years ago during an amazon sale and got them for $20 a pop. was a pretty good deal since all that they needed was about $5 rgb fan to look appealing enough to gamers.
I've had PC with 6700XT with brand new 12/13 gen i5/MB sitting for over a month at really good price vs similar with 4060/Ti ... Yet the moment I put a 3060 PC it sell super quickly with used CPU/MB... I guess Nvidia wont their marketing scheme a bit too much...
🙂 its because only invidia has legacy support, those cards will 'just work' with any old random motherboard or monitor or tv out there, any thrift store pc, and pc u find in the garbage. You can still post an RTX 3080 on pretty much any Core 2 Quad motherboard, u cant do that with Radeon. Thats why prebuilts also stick with invidia cards, it reduces customer returns because it will work with their old monitor or tv
Its i furiating for sellers. But honestly I aint complaining. B350, ryzen 1600, 6700xt for less than $250, its beautiful for buyers like me though.
I'm sitting on a 2700x and 2060 pc and have been for about 2 months now. I had it listed as a complete pc with monitor speakers keyboard and mouse and only got offers for just the pc, I changed the listing to just the tower and now everyone wants a complete setup.
Offer both, and that cpu is officially supported on Windows 11, it better have Windows 11 because normies already know by now that 10 is going to expire soon.
Dude I had a 2060 system as well, that thing was sitting for like 3 months before I finall sold. 10/16/30 series I have a lot more success, I also move RX 6000 systems really fast as well.
Cannot believe someone bought the 3050 rig for $850...
welcome back
The world needs tech yes lovin! 💕
Objectively, the Deepcool case is much nicer than the AZZA case, simply because of that PSU shroud. Much cleaner when put up for sale
RTX 2000 vs RTX 3000 = most people will only look at the "2" and at the "3".
🙂 if course, its just like buying a used card, i dont blame them, it makes sense
Would be interesting to see a series where you start off with a gaming pc beast and trade down to a potato. Like a series of examples what you should avoid when pursuing pc filling hobby / business. Buy a custom watercooled system and mark it down due to low demand. Then build non RGB gaming pc, next Dell optiplex, finishing off with an Athlon II potato
i wouldn't be selling a pc with f'd up pins on the cpu like that. just pure sketch
Runs but Needs Work 😄🚗
WE need a vidéo of a budget build i5 3470 + rtx 2060 super plz
I'm re-watching this as I've managed to get ready for a flip - in Sydney, the second hand market is either so-tight (e.g., Ryzen 5 3600 for $100 - when 5 5600 is 139 brand new etc) or they sell it more expensive than brand new (3060 still in the second hand market for $500 "price is firm"). Maybe because of the economic climate, they don't want to "lose money" for when they paid for the premium price.
Your experience with RTX 2000 series is like my experience with RX6000 and RX5000 series. RX 6700xt and RX 6800xt performs like RTX 3070/3080 but no one wants to buy those builds for some reason. But whenever I put up a 3000 series build for sale, lots of interest (prior to February at least, February was a terrible month sales wise).
First thing...selling a rtx 3070 sistem with 10$ psu is a no go...also the broken pin cpu I wouldn't sell
yeah i wouldn't sell that cpu in that system as well just due to not knowing if it will hold up long term.
I personally wouldn't be comfortable selling those either- not because the PSUs were $10, but because of the quality of the units. The FSP 550w is a solid unit, i think it will be fine but a factory OC 3070 is kind of pushing it there. And the Raidmax 650w might be worse, but it depends on the oem model i suppose. Also the cooler master 700w in the first PC doesn't even have an 80+ rating and is over 10 years old?? Another thing about older power supplies is that they might not support newer sleep states at all. It's always worth testing sleep before you sell, make sure it doesn't randomly wake up on you.
At the end of the day, bryan gives good support on his systems so I still think hes a great seller, I just don't agree with some of the spec choices is all
@@jacksonbtb571 Yeah guaranteeing your stuff is where it's at. I had a 4080 System come back with a 850 watt gold power supply (the PSU was new) being faulty, that old stuff man, a lot of it was built so well.
esti roman? :))
What RGB set is that at the 10:00 mark. I really like the triple color effect.
🙂 in settings its usually called Rainbow Static
the higher end 2000 series gpus have been known to have vram timebombs. theyll just give out eventually.
My 2070S been going since the series came out, overclocked pretty heavily
that gt1030 is actually the better gddr5 version and tbh i would keep since it is a nice little gpu to use in either slim ''desktop office'' pc or just as a test gpu also is nice that it is the silent version less to worry about annoying little fans screaming
We almost there
I wish my market was like on the Gold Coast... hell!! A 3070 for 230 dollars?!?... I think I'd be out close to 400...
yup a 3070 thai is about 400 still 🙂
Totally agree that higher end RTX2000 series builds seem to take far longer to flip.... It's a mental barrier to some buyers I believe regardless of the price to performance benefits.
i picked up a 7900x, rog b650e, 64gb ram, 2x 2tb ssds, rtx 4090, monitor ,kb,mouse for 3k aud, kept a ssd and flipped the pc for 4k
gfx card alone is 3k lol

@@WOGBOY picked up 3 4090 pcs in the last 6 months for 3k aud each. Got lucky i guess
Who u rob lmao
Struggle is real right now. I have only been able to sell white PCs and they still take a while to sell. My other PCs I had to change parts to be able to lower prices. Hopefully the market gets better for sellers.
🙂 sorry broh but the next few years its going to be Struggleville
When you sell these PCs do you reset them or do you leave them set up as is with software installed?
normally pc builders only clean install then update all the drivers. Normies are sometimes picky and they want to see nothing extra. Of course if they arrive and ask 'eh broh u got any games?' then u can go ahead and hook him up
Im a big fan of budget bangers with a 4th gen i7 and 2060. I've had the same experience in the states with 2080s not commanding much value.
🙂 yes thats a good pairing for us but for the normies they would prefer a 3050 8GB for it, similar horse power but it has a number 3 in it, normies prefer 3000 or 4000
I like that case, with the rgb fan, don't care what in it, it the look.
Grow the Tech YES Goatee
my flipping went from i5-4670 with GTX 970 to Ryzen 5 3600 with GTX 1080 / 1080 Ti people want a bit more expensive pc's in the Netherlands
hello Bryan! I scored a h310 mbo with i5 9400f ...question is what gpu should i try to uptain to cuple with this combo and flip that with the rest of the configuration in a rgb case? Best regards from Croatia
🙂a 3050 8gb especially if ur someplace like eastern europe
Do you have a link to the ram or SSD im having trouble finding anything a similar price
Trying my own flip up challenge and not doing so well. Surprisingly, it was the PC I thought nobody would want that is the only one I've sold. had a 3770S and 1650. I sold it for $350 USD($315 after fees). I already had most of the parts and only bought storage, RAM and a CPU. I have two builds listed, one with a R5 2600 and RX 6600 and the other is a Haswell i7 with a 1080FTW. I know the market is slow right now but if I wait too long they'll be a generation older. I might have $400 total in both of them. I already had the GPUs and the 2600; some RAM and already got my money's worth out of them. I don't need a second gaming PC because I also have a gaming laptop. I have the 2600 build listed for $625 and the i7 for $550.
I'll probably give them a couple more weeks and then drop the price on both of them. I just need to sell them so I can build something with a more recent/desirable GPU. The 6600 is a decent GPU but it isn't anywhere near as appealing as a 3060. A 3060 is, for the time being, a solid 1440p GPU.
A 5600X/3060 is the most popular build in the world right now so I'll probably go with a used 3060 and an inexpensive B650 platform. I don't think it is so much the used GPU that puts people off but the old platform. I think having a brand new AM5 or LGA1700 platform would sell a lot easier. It is what most of the TechTubers are pushing and what the customers are hearing.
Don't even have to watch these episodes to hit the like button.
I5 2400 3070 was my favourite
Wow. Slipped a couple broken pins into the socket to fool the motherboard. That is "s" tier.
Have you ever tired considering selling the pcs with AMD gpus? Or is the market just generally appealed towards NVIDIA cards?
🙂 normies dont' want radeon cards because when a normie asks around everybody tells them go invidia, plus invidia has legacy support for old hdmi tvs where if u go with radeon u have to have a compatible monitor
I5 12400 3070 was my favourite
Hey Brian, you talk about the rtx 2000 series not selling well or for much less than you expected. What's your experience with AMD cards? Are they impossible to sell or do they bring less money?
stay far far away from radeon, they don't work with older monitors or older tvs, sometimes they work but sometimes they dont, u only do radeon if ur selling them a compatible montor and u make sure u explain to the customer that theres no garanatee ur PC will work with ur older stuff that u got at home.
I would just look for another cpu for peace of mind there is plenty about with people upgrading to Am5
the 15 12400f was a great buy
12 months warranty for a PC with (probably mined) 3070 and old PSU sounds risky. What if 3070 goes bust? Are so many available deals there?
🙂 its actually a good strategy, even retail stores such as Microcenter do it, when u come back u get a chance to upsell the customer and u also have a much better chance of a repeat customer
damn 3 RTX 3070 for 1050AUD thats like 211€ per card I barely get a 3060 for that amount of money and if I can that would be a hell of a deal around here
maybe you can try get a 5090 by the end of the year, good progress lol. heck i bet people would keep watching if you turn the series into a car then a house lol
Just want to say that in terms of power efficiency (measured in frames per watt), the 20XX cards are just dogs. The 30XX and 16XX cards are so much more efficient, and I'd guess that the 40XX are even more so. I wonder if that's why people are less interested in the 20XX cards. I would never use or recommend them myself.
It's sad that the 20X series doesn't hit with the typical market, but it makes sense. All people see is the "30" number and think it's better, even if it's a 3050 or 3060 or whatever, versus a 2070Super or 2080ti. Because ppl just don't know.
My 2070Super will genuinely run whatever I throw at it with good fps 50-60+ on the hardest titles at near max settings... 2080ti is even better
I wonder if it's the 2000 series that's the problem or more the xx80 level, especially with a "Super" or "Ti"? For instance, if there's a 2080 Super, aren't you more likely to want a 3070? If it's a 3080TI, wouldn't you be more interested in a 4070? On the other hand, I would guess that a 2070 Super would be a sweetspot - they can be picked up quite cheaply, but do have appeal in the final system. However your experience is vastly more than mine. It's a theory ...
this is barely a sustainable biz model but rgb saves the day - techs need to flip but also service and build custom machines where the performance is better and with zen5 - possibly more value - of course prices for new blackwell gpu may sink these lofty goals - nvidia has a flaming moat and can keep prices high until there is serious competition and we just haven't seen it yet - it may not happen for 2-4 years
You should do some live sessions, man
I have a problem. I’ve built 4 pcs and working on my 5th. The used market. You’ve gotten my pockets. Pc gods. Help me.
😊 ur not alone, i recently finished looking over 4 of my oem desktops and 2 of my oem laptops, and rite now im finishing the last of my pc rebuilding projects which is EIGHT gaming pcs, Once im done with those 8 I should be set for a couple years, and move onto fixing my motorcycle and suzuki samurai, theres always something to do 😎
Dam if I was close to you id have you send me the cpu so I could repair it and send it back to you!
Ive got a pc im about to sell with a i5-8500 and a rx 5600xt and I wanna bundle it with a full set up but im struggling to find budget banger accessories i dont wanna put too much money in if im not gonna get a decent return with how the market is in Melbourne at the moment. And not to mention AMD always take longer to sell 😑
Idkw but 20 series gpus have a stink on them. GTX still treating me right though. I still get the most recent Nvidia updates and my 1070 suits my needs for now. Personally I think the market will be flooded soon with 10 20 30 and 40 series cards. Bad Nvidia forecasting and a overproduction of 40 series gpus coming to market out of nowhere will bring prices way down. Manufacturers now know that they need to make their own silicon now to compete. Hold on for good deals imo

Hmm.. I had 2 rigs with Ryzen and 2080ti and sold them each within a week. Same performance as rtx3070 with 3gb extra ram and wider memory bus.
Aussie gamers are weird bunch haha
5700X3D✌
i dont think its entire rtx 2000 series that its hard to flip, its only 2080ti in particular and 2080 to some extent, because this card not popular, something like 2060/2060s/2070s still sell easily
🙂 i think u mite be rite, because even at Microcenter retail the refurbished popular cards that sell rite now are 1660 Super and 2060, maybe because not only the lower price but also the power supply requirements are pretty fair at only 500watt power supply
Yeah 2000 series was garbage.....I had a 1080ti and going to a 2080ti was a marginal performance gain!!
🙂 yes but if ur running Alan Wake 2 theres a massive performance difference between those two cards. The 1080 is missing certain GPU technologies, i forgot what they are but u can always look them up. The Radeon 5700 has the same problem too with AW2. Supposedly the game has some new patches for invidia 10 series cards so I believe the 1080 should be ok now 😊
the 16 series would sell easier too compared to 20 series cards
don't know you can sell a pc like that with 2 pins just stuck in the socket
That does seem a bit sketchy, but if it works I guess? I'd definitely give the case a shake while it's running a benchmark just to make sure that the connection on those pins is solid.
I would tell the buyer about the issue. If he is still interested then it's ok.
just be honest and negotiate a lower price as compensation, kinda like what u would do selling a used beatup car "Runs but Needs Work" LOL 😄
People don’t want to go with the 2000 series because of future gen support I suppose
its because 2 is less than 3, thats how a normie would see it, they dont do research and even if they did they dont know what any of it means 😄 so stick with 3050 or newer invidia cards or your going to go Out of Business

I know this comment is random but I've just had the worst luck with computer shit. I thought I knew what I was doing but none of this shit makes sense.

@MrSamadolfo it was a msi 4070ti. I got the bios thing working again. But I just returned the gpu and they offer no replacement service, so I'm just not going to have working computer.

@@dragonfafnir4487 🙂 ok, well then lets just wait, im glad that u have a spare video card to hold u over, another dude on here just had his 580 die and he has no spare video card plus his cpu has no integrated graphics, it sucks not having extra parts
i dont get why people would like a 3050 over 2080 ti as the 2080 is about the same price 2rd hand yet 108% better lol, i do get that 2080 ti will be hotter but that not that bad as id take a hotter running card that runs better over the other one. all so had someone ask me why i picked a 980 ti AMP! and not 1060 and when i told them the 980 ti was better they called me a liar lol
RGB puke cases are for dodgy i5 2400 builds, not for 1000 bucks plus systems 🤷🏻♂️🤣
