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" ^^
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$
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.
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.
9:19 i swear it's always these cheap PC cases with multiple USB's but only one of them works for no reason They do work sometimes but it's like whenever it wants to, sometimes you'd only get power onto the plugged device but no data or connection.
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 came with a 144hz screen
My old af rog g752vy with a 980m still runs current cod on balanced mode getting 75fps. I think people still underestimate how much old graphic cards are still supported these days. 1660ti laptop for $200 is a great deal
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.
I have two 1TB hard drives. They hold movies, other media and older games/roms. They've always ran on hard drives and won't be any slower now than they were then. All recent stuff gets put on the NVMEs
To the person uploading the videos, I like the time stamps. Make every video have time stamps in it. Also I don't know what video editor you use but in davinci resolve you can add text to bottom right when making the videos and say what resolution and preset the game is running. I did it with my videos and it made my life so much more easier to do video editing when creating time stamps.
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.
The case doesn't look bad...Makes me wonder if people think i'm doing same scam on Marketplace. I priced a build low, nice case aesthetics but its i5 10400, gtx 1080
Tbf, hard drives definitely are still usable, just not as a boot drive, or a game drive, or for video playback. Can definitely store spreadsheets and text documents though.
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!
Hmm, a £100 HP prebuild with an RX480, 16GB RAM and the same 4770 with a 500GB SSD, or this? Yeah. A fancy looking case does not a gaming PC make... That POST screen issue is an indication that they took the board from some OEM system and didn't jump the board properly

Hard drives in 2024/2025 are okay... for cold storage and backup purposes. Reading application data from a HDD these days given how cheap solid-state devices are is a really damned silly thing to subject oneself to.
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
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.

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.
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.
I’d love to know the person that comment was in reference to. An HDD nowadays is fine, so long as you aren’t expecting to use it for online titles. This whole negligent rhetorical argument argument that this guy LOVES to spout never takes all use cases into consideration but just vehemently pulls the A-Typical baby move on pouncing around in the ground screaming without fear of consequence. In-end, an HDD is something I’d always suggest for offsite/older games, or if you’re someone who likes to have a lot of games installed but intend to fully play that game 24/7. This guy clearly loves to argue semantics and not take clear cut use cases and bring them into the picture.
