I decided to turn the cheapest pre-built "gaming" PC into a gaming beast. It's time for a ghetto sleeper build.

"I wanna try and replace as few components as possible"
Literally replaced everything but case and mobo....
Yeah because that's all that was worth keeping :P
Don't forget that one fan and DVD drive

Congratulations dawid you just build yourself a Tsundere PC
Haha!! Not gonna lie, I had to Google that. 😅
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Kinda wishing I hadn't Googled that ...

We are all gonna die 🤦♂️
LOL
Not gonna lie, I dont know how i feel about a brand new waifu gpu in my old dog
Hahaha!! 😂
I think I saw the opposite kind of thing on SankakuComplex recently.
You really love that waifu card Don’t you?
Gonna be honest, it's a really silly but fun card. I kinda love it unironically too
Phil Atkins i Don’t judge you.
I do really love it. I feel like it's ridiculousness fits the channel really well. 😊
Ngl I think it's pretty cool!
What card is the wayfu?
I love seeing powerful components in old cases.
This was excellent, I really really loved this Tsundere build!
I think we'd all love to see a balanced build in this case, how you'd spend the $400+ dollars you spent on the "gaming" system in the first place.
The editing was good here considering you were pressed for time, and that "marital aid" joke made me snort tea out of my nose
I will do that for sure. 👍 I will include a guide on how to build it.
Sorry about wasting your tea. 😂

Built my first PC this week and your channel helped out a lot. Thanks Dawid!
That's amazing! I hope you enjoy your new PC. 👍
@@DawidDoesTechStuff definitely am so far! Tarkov and battlefield 5 have been running fantastic. Havent tested much else but your channel is a wonderful resource for people who are PC novices. Thank you for the content friend.

I thought I was the only one who got that lol
Next video : loser componment in high end case
Haha!! Sounds like a great idea. 👍
Thats my actual pc
That doesn't sound too crazy
Aka a reverse sleeper
take the best case in the market, install a soundblaster sound card, 833mhz intel pentium 3 processor, and use the fast and spiffy onboard video with a 128mb video card, I played oblivion on this
I absolutely adore the way you roast this PC, both in the other video and this one. I love how you don't take yourself too seriously, it's something that other tech RUclipsrs don't do very often. Keep it up Dawid :3
"The worst looking and feeling power supply I've ever worked with." - _Diablotek would like to know your location_
i bought a pre built from fierce pc and they had there own power supplies so i bought a new replacement kolink psu and wen't to my local shop for a fix. the guy at the shop said it was one of the worst psu units he has ever seen in a gaming system from a big pc builder company. just got my pc back today and was lucky the pc was not fried from that piece of shit psu and least i got my impossible freezes fixed now as windows had like a 1000 errors from an update.
@@thomasreeve3492 People don't think PSUs can impact a computer like that, but they can. A bad power ripple can take down a CPU's efficiency and produce errors, kill RAM, etc. I did a rebuild on a friend's i7 four or so years back. His PSU had croaked, and power-cycled his system like...3 or 4 times before he caught it. Killed the motherboard, his SSD, his physical HD, 3 of 4 8gb RAM modules, and optical drive. All that survived was his AIO and his CPU (and 1 RAM module). All that damage from just 3 or 4 quick, sudden power cycles.
I recognize that music in the beginning from Abroad in Japan's Journey Across Japan series. Cheers, and great taste in music!
List of the components in your description would be helpful. Thanks for helping this noob get started on their first build.
Well, with the heavy sarcasm and the marital aid joke, I subscribed. This is really great content that's hopefully not overlooked. I love sleeper builds.
Nice job on this video. The Sleeper theme has always been interesting topic. Even without trying to make a Sleeper system ; my system as it is now - could probably pass as a sleeper.
I've been watching your videos for the past few days now... the first 10 seconds of this one convinced me to subscribe!
not gonna lie one of the best tech channels out there

Its a Roccat Suora FX. Really nice Keyboard.

@@DawidDoesTechStuff Thanks very much! Really love your videos... I find myself clicking more & more on your videos rather than Linus or JayzTwoCents. I think it's because your stuff is more "real world" than just "Build this insanely overkill PC and go bankrupt". Definitely subscribing!... Also, Would love to see a sleeper build with the Ryzen 5 2600 (Been thinking of upgrading and would love to know how they perform with the newer GPU's) *cough* Waifu *cough*

Haha, yeah... I lost more than a few brain cells trying to get through that movie
Since so many people get these types of pre-builts as gifts or just as a convenience it would be great if you could do some videos of simple things that would help increase performance for very little money. Like cutting a hole for more air flow, checking bios settings or adding a second stick of memory (nah, that really doesn't help much). Help a brother out of a jam for cheap! Love the channel.
It would be kind of interesting to see if putting a decent intake fan in the side mount position helped with the thermal issues. Upgrading the CPU cooler also seems like a reasonable thing to do in this type of build, if you can fit something in there.
i have a sleeper. I used an In-Win IW-508TX.FD20 beige mATX mini tower. For a case released in 2008, it has some surprising features. The top mounted PSU sits in its own 'attic' with the 5 1/2" bays, the side panels are tool-less using plastic clips, and there are vent slats for the 80mm intake fan in the front panel as well as room for a 100mm exhaust fan and a side panel duct for the CPU fan. It also has pre-molded 'standoffs' so you don't need any of those brass ones. On the downside, there is no cable management space at all save the drive bays...
I first used an I7-11700K/B560 combo, with an RX 5600 XT, 32 gb ram, a 500 gb sata ssd and 2tb 2.5" hdd, a beige dvd drive and with the help of a usb adapter card, a working 3.5" floppy drive alongside a beige card reader. I had to use a low profile air cooler, so I chose the Scythe Big Shuriken 3. This in turn pulled air through the case's plastic side vent tube.
However, the B560 mobo stopped detecting ram suddenly, and I couldn't get it to work with any ram I had. So, I swapped the platform with a Ryzen 3700X/B450 combo and reused all the other parts. That machine is still working today.
Man loved the 80s themed music nice change from the regular stuff most do. And really like the humor keep it up man great job love your videos.. subbed
You crack me up m8!
Keep up the good work
:)
2:01 More RGB! More RGB! "We all know that RGB adds 15% to performance"
He was being sarcastic
i personally own one of those cases, and can personally say i absolutely regret buying it
Lol I have one too but in blue
Update, I have built in it, not terrible for a first build, but not great overall I rate it a 4.5/10
It’s fine the mustard wires are meh and no space for cable management but shit it’s better then nothing and it was 28$ what did u expect
Time and thought seems to have been put into these videos, you deserve more than 84k.
Sleeper builds are dope. Definitely do more sleeper builds
Daem this video just kept cracking me up 😂 you are so ridiculous. I love it!
I love ur videos dude!! You keep it interresting by not talking high tech language! Keep up ❤️
1:19 that montage music made me wanna watch TMNT! The good ones from the 90's!
Hi David. New to the channel. You mentioned " sleeper builds" I recently acquired a retired dell T3500 workstation for $20. I put in a used 1060TI, a used 650w power supply, a new 500G SSD, and a refurbished 4c 4.1 Ghz server style CPU. Surprisingly, it is a beast on high settings all for less than $200. I would love to see a video of you building an old junk PC like this into a machine for minimal cost.
You are such an underrated RUclipsr you deserve more views and subscribers
You made it super powerful...and resentful it even exists. Congrats its a Sephiroth.
The A320M-HDV has a spot for a M.2 NVME SSD. I have a 256G one in mine for a boot drive. Very happy with the boot time.
Im in love with your humour
Dawid Does Tech Stuff : "DOM PLATZ !!!!!!!!!!" :) :) :) :) .... awesome man....it should be your original sign in your videos from now on ;).
Haha!! Yeah, I can just start every video with "DOM PLATZ!!!!!!!"
Love your videos they entertain me every time I see one of your videos sadly not the one that got me into gaming pc’s but I still love your videos
Hey I have 10-core processor too... A8 7500 😂
"F" in the comments lads
Hahaha!! Remember all CPUs are beautiful. 😅
LOL, that's cool, mine is only 6-core Intel Core i7-6800k, however I think my GTX 1080 has allot more cores for graphics.
Been there...done that...I took a pre built from a vendor and turned it recently into a AMD 12 core 24 thread; B550 MSI Tomahawk with 32 gigs of RAM and 5 TB's of space (2 HDD's; 2 SDD's & 1 NVME drive...)...All I am missing are some tricked up RGB fans for the case... :-)
The waifu card looks so pretty dang nice 👌
I know right! Such a crazy card.
It does, but why did they design the backplate to have the image upside down? That just bugs the hell out of me.
Gosh Im in love with Dawid's voice 😂 watching videos b2b
Feel free too do that with a IBM Thinkcentre pc case if you got tools too do metalwork in the case you can add larger feet too the case, add a pair of bottom fans for the gpu which is where the bottom fans help quite nicely & a top fan or two probably as well with some fan filters on top of the case covering the holes for the fans. A small dremel with 2 - 3 cutting discs & wearing some face protection along with a drill too make holes for the screws beforehand for said fans ofc as well.
You should build a super bad-ass PC in one of those white cases that always turned a beige like yellow color over time!. 1991 gaming PC FTW!
Gotta love that montage music, or as I like to call it, "Royalty-Free Living In a Box"...
great video. I can see a few spelling errors but what the heck this video is fantastic. I hope you reach 100k soon
Quality content. Liked the video and subscribed to this amazing channel. Greetings from Algeria ♥️
We have basic Dell computers at work with I5 8500 8th gen in them those are very dodgy, PSU has 2 Molex connectors converted to SATA with 2 inch SATA cords. The 2 thumbscrews for the case are half plastic half metal and the rest of the case is riveted together. The cheap ATX board has 2 ram slots and the case only supports 1 3.5" hard drive, they also have a laptop style DVD drive on the front.
I know that it's time consuming but probably adding a list of things you used and prices would be great. New here watch 2 videos so far but really liking them keep it up man
I would’ve taken out the disc drive and covers. Might help those temps and look better. Even with a hole. lol Maybe throw some black mesh on there even and could look legitimate.
Haha!! I thought about it, but couldn't bare the idea of it looking so unfinished. 😅
Dawid Does Tech Stuff That’s understandable. Good video nonetheless. 👍
SupremeKingZac I would have plugged the DVD drive back in to get dvd 📀 support back
And still the storage device is loose. Great for keeping the original looks!
On top of that when you ask questions about computers even those guys yell at you lol AND ignore u in the forum lmao
Aw man i needed this. Good way to wake up
A fan on the side panel blowing air straight at the GPU will help thermals a lot for minimal extra cost. There is almost no way for air to get from the front panel to the CPU, you might be better off reversing the rear fan to get cool air to the CPU cooler
Cable Management, Cable Management, what is it with cable management. Revel in the magnificence of the technology.
And I speak as someone who jumped with joy when the IBM 5150 PC with 5151 monitor came out at the amazing price if $2,400 (1982 in Australia). I still remember that amazing day ...
It felt like I was at the "Dawn of a New Era".
How right I was.
Love to see an old gateway case with faster gaming or an old IBM case with new inside components.
good video. I built my first rig back in 90? 91? don't matter - a time of boot disks and howling modems *shudder* but I have done too little for a couple decades regarding keeping current with costs and performance. But I found this video helpful. Do I really want to buy new or is my system more than adequate with a few upgrades? Bear in mind we greybeards have some major releases in the next year or so thus it will need to compete with the main herd - and where is that now? how many gigs of ram? what gpu? and do you have a swiss-army knife with marital aids?
Okay now this is sick.
So much about the cable management. How much performance increase can you expect from a tidy run cable? Sounds a bit douchy to go on about it.
Old workstation cases from the early 2000s make great sleeper cases!
Do you have a video of some of these compensates and talk about what works together and what doesn’t. Getting started on my first pc and I don’t want to mess stuff up
Did you just refer to a PSU shroud as a "basement cover" lol I love it
I had i3-2gen pc back in the days with 16gb of ram and 750ti, when i first time opened the case i was shocked about lightweight 400w junk powersupply. Swapped out immediately to better corsair psu.
Love the Ship of Theseus PC
I wanna see what you could build inside an old Mac Plus 1mb!!! If you paid for shipping I'd send you one to test with!
i actually own this case and if you rip of the cases front off, the fan is just being covered with foam an if you get rid of the foam and replace the fan it makes the air flow a bit better
This is the reason i love am4. Can't wait to get that 16core 3950x for my 1700x pc in the future.... hehe
Eh, may not be the best idea due to the power draw
Waifu card always elevates the build. Waifu is highest level of PC gaming.
Why would anyone worry about precise cable management when you do not have a windowed case??? It's like having a bunch of flowers in a cardboard box!!!
Great video, its making me want to put my i9 9900k 2070 into my spare 2013 cooler master case
the memes this man does are insane
Can you review this Swiss Army knife you teased...interested in the marital aidness
600k well done Dawid !
Wow that EVEN BETTER THAN THIS old LAPTOP
build a sleeper using a inspiron 530 or 531 case, they were really popular and are still used today
Wow, leading edge RGB-waifu there! Lol.
Gotta love that journey across Japan music
really cool man
Wowsers you made that Pee-See look & perform HEAPS better, good work!
A note on the thermals, in particular that front panel:
As Tech Jesus teaches, not all mesh means airflow.
That perforated front panel is more panel than perforation.
Yes. Do a sleeper build with something like an ancient dos tower or something from first towers from the 90s.
That is the same mobo I've got in my system. Got that and a 2200g together used for $100.
My friends case that he bought.You get 2 versions acrylic and non acrylic.Unfortunately he got the acrylic version.It has a blu ray player that i installed.Main thing that gives it away that it's a beast are the fact that it has acrylic you can see the cooler.It is the Biggest cooler i ever installed.It's a semi sleeper.
You had me at wyfu millennium falcon lmao....
yo i do be liking the gpu and the hole pc its a masterpiece
As soon as the montage music started all I could think about was "journey across japan" lmao
Yes Ryzen 1700x, i have non x version, does all i need. love total 16 logical cores.
Hey nice video. My 3rd in a row. I have a question, could you list links for the parts you use or discuss in the videos. Rewinding and writing down sucks.
"waifu themed insides" i like your style thats a sub from me also im just shocked there a anime gpu wtf that's weeb stuff i want loll keep up the good work
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the channel. 😊
I know right! It's crazy the stuff that you van find on the internet.
Caleb Evans oh I did spell it wrong ma bad
i love the rgb teamforce ssd. teamforce makes good schhtuffff
have you tried the sabrent rocket nvme? go on amazon, find the 1tb, select the white label for a big discount. 1tb is 109$ no difference in the performance or model. just diff color label lol. unlike white label hard drives. its actually just the color. not many want white so its cheaper. it does 3200mbps and its super super reliable and fast!
Let's see the ultimate sleeper build!
Badass and waifu do not belong in the same sentence 0:55
That thumbnail ist cute af ngl 😳
What a thumbnail 😂
Hello Samuel Hayden
@@berserkoflust7999 please stop smashing my monitors
Not the worst 16x16 case you can get but it definitely has flaws. I have used it a few times. Cable management does suck. If your power supply is too big you have to route your power cables through the drive bay. Do not even attempt to remove the front, if you want to add a 2nd front fan just use 2 screws and 2 zipties. Would not even bother with any optical drives. The ribbon cable for the front panel is garbage that I only use the 2 wires for the power button from it. On the plus side the drive bay is not to tall keeping you from installing 2 graphics cards.
I would like to see a build like that
Perhaps you should have flipped the psi and had the fan upwards drawing the hot air out?
What about cpu cooling upgrade...? Maybe you can get decent enough coolink u8-92/noctua tower coolers+noctua am4 mounting/snowman am4 cooler for bargain. Okay, i know that the goal was to change the least, but that would worth a try :)
I actually bought that pc 4 years ago but for $100 more, I sold it 6 months ago for $100 and am saving up to build something worth my while
What is that b roll music? Love it!
