Just as a fun fact, Acteck is a mexican brand that makes PC Hardware, they make cases, some basic power supplies, monitors and accessories and they have a gaming "brand" named Balam Rush. The main thing of both Acteck and Balam Rush is being affordable (if you buy Acteck cases they come included with the PSU), their stuff is decent and affordable.
The 1660super draws 120 watts, suggested PSU is 300 watts. The board supplies 75 watts and the sata connection 54 watts. It should be able to handle the load and function.
I've seen a video some time ago with similiar problems, and the guy got a bit frustrated and slammed his fist on the table near the PC, as it wasn't turning on after some time. Well, that slamming did wonders as the it made "click" and the PC started ^^ later it was revealed that due to a production error one of the parts was not completely integrated, and the fist-slamming solved that problem ^^ In german we would call it a "Wackelkontakt" ^^
I recognize the name, their eBay store is named after the town they live in, it’s about 20 min away from where I used to live in Texas, it’s a border town.
Pretty similar to what I'm daily driving. Got that 4770, but everything else is upgraded as much as I could. 16 gigs of dual channel ram, a 2 tb ssd, and for a while, a 1050ti. Not much to complain about as long as I didn't want to play anything really modern. Still not anything I'd recommend someone get for the price though.
Bro, those I7s arent ewaste. I mean, for a $150 build, what do you honestly expect? Those CPUs can probably handle up to a 1060 or 1070, and they can run some games fine. The HDD though, and no GPU is just unacceptable lol
the main computer I game on is on a i7-4790 with a rx580 8gb, a SSD and an apevia PSU (all for sub 200) My son games on a i7-3770 with the same gpu, ssd, and psu, for $150. they play any game we try to on them ( obviously, at lower settings)
Dude my i5 4690k (yeah super overclocked but still) and MSI GTX 970 4GB Gaming can still play a lot of modern games just fine at 1080p. I just launched State Of Decay 2 on it earlier at High graphics and was getting 90ish fps
Now I will not bag out HDs but if you are buying storage cheap ssds cost around the same per GB as Hard drives, ssd's are just faster. Unless you just like the noise they make I don't know why you would choose one in normal situations.
A little while ago i bought a 1660ti laptop for 200 euro's. Probably a better route to go for someone how want to get in gaming on the cheap. It can with a 144hz screen
The Dell motherboard has front panel usb pins rearanged so they won't work on a standard case. Any swap of the board into a standard case will not work with UCB2's. I watched and swap where the ins on the board were shorted across and the USB;s front panel worked.
Can’t believe manufacturers think it’s smart to use the CHEAPEST power supply units! Go spend more on an Asus, Corsair, or any other reputable brand that doesn’t lie about the wattage! Also, off-brand PSUs have a high failure rate and are dangerous!
I had to rewire my USB 2.0 header when I case swapped a Dell Optiplex, so it can be done its just they didn't do it and guarantee they didn't include the old header you'd need to do so
That child labor joke got me off guard Also, I can't imagine those pc components cost 100$ in total. Wonder if the seller try to make more than 100% profit
100% profit would be 200 dollars. $150/100 (assuming the accumulated parts do equal that number) would be a 50% profit margin , selling it for $100 would be breaking even, so 0% profit, anything above that would be the percentage.
@@bbelitere I was thinking maybe the total part could come around 90$ then 180$ would be 100% profit Since the listing show 180$ so I am assuming they haggle it down to 150$
Hard drives are fine for mass game storage, obviously you want to boot off an SSD but yeah a drive that old is tragic you'd think at minimum they'd put like a 120gb ssd with the HDD. Personally invested in a silly 16TB enterprise drive for mass storage. Costs more than my GPU lmao
Buy a cheap aptiva power supply 600 watt from ebay. I got one for 35 dollars. It isn't rated. I checked it with my tester before using it and everything was fine internally. I am watching this on it right now, You said you used them before and it's doing the job. It's the cheapest way out, new. Put the SSD in it and sell it as used. Might get some of your money back.
Hard drives are still fine for storage and older titles. Where they really fall down in my opinion is for those games that now generate the shaders before the game begins. Trying to run Hogwarts Legacy or The Last of Us from a hard drive is a pain before they begin.
looks like the same motherboard i was messing around with in a dell OptiPlex 7020 but mine had a I7 4790. I got the computer for free. I put in a 6700 xt and it played Cyberpunk. It wasn't the worst way to play it but the CPU lagged. I put in a new B650 motherboard and 7600x in the case to make it a sleeper. but dells suck for this because they have special connectors and need adaptors.
Unfortunately people buy these pc's thinking it's a decent gaming rig because they see the rgb lights listed as a gaming pc .. personally I would rip that motherboard out and the psu for a door stopper and build a decent low end to med gaming pc ..I believe that is a 4th gen cpu in there with 8 gb of ddr3 .?
You could mould and roll a turd too look like a chocolate truffle.... You could even roll it in a coating of chocolate dust..... But fundamentally, it will still just be a turd, rolled too look like a truffle. So, in short, just because online it looks like a PC and is cheap.... It very may well just be a turd.
i have plenty more older HDD in my archive of Video TV and Movies, that nothing in hours, but it they probably were formatted and Cleared. actually most of my hdd have an ave of 75k to 150k hours..lol i think my lowest is double that one of my 25 hard drives of 75,000 tv shows.
Anybody who thinks a mechanical hard drive in a modern-day computer is a total idiot. You need to use a solid state hard drive. Your computer will run faster and be more reliable.

HDDs still have their use, but not the c drive in a gaming PC. I can’t believe there’s a 15 year old HDD in it.
