Building a Budget Gaming PC ( started from an office Lenovo PC )
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Hi everyone and In this video I transform an office Lenovo desktop computer into a classic gaming PC. Current specs are Intel i5 13400, ASUS B660M-A D4, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB, M.2 SSD, and MSI RTX 4060. The Game in this video Dead Island 2.
The parts that I took from the Lenovo are: CPU, RAM, and M.2 SSD. The other parts are brought for a pretty low price, all the parts were unpacked and probably displayed somewhere on shelves.
✔️Disclaimer: I Done this project for personal use only, not for sale or any other distribution now or in the future. Also, personally I do Not sell any components, other hardware or software.

Is this a conversion or a entire new pc 😂
The PC of Theseus :D
He harvested the cpu and ram
Yep, it's a new PC, Lenovo made PC that cost 500+ euros with no expansions capabilities or very minimal, and all other parts costs 450 euros, :/ on sale, already unpacked, but still better than getting some all in one pc
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrewWasn't it cheaper to buy the CPU, RAM and SSD separately? What do you do with that huge canibalized thing now?
@@sf95super i think its already explained at the beginning or in the middle of the video
Its rare to see you work on more recent pcs, and also screw lenovo to intentionally limit the upgradability
Did Lenovo really released a PC with no PCie support?!
Holy why :'D
I mean, Officer pc rarely use pci express to anything other than m2 drivers, so it makes sense for them to sell you less for the same price
I'm asking the same question too. Last I checked, motherboards are typically required to have a 16x pcie slot with some exceptions.
@@ArielGonzalez1 i feel like that lenovo pc is suitable if you want just a simple game console for your living room, provided for playing classic games of course as intel igpu is already very capable of playing games now
That’s very frustrating that there is no PCIe slot. It’s the first time I see this in a small SFF. You should then put the cheapest processor compatible, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD and sell it as is.
Sorry, but this isn't turning an office PC into a Gaming PC, it's just using some parts of it on another computer...
Only thing that remained are SSD, RAM and CPU. Not to mention the single-channel memory configuration.
@JosianoNunes84 he changed the title which means he has listened to you
I'm kinda suprised that the lenovo motherboard doesn't even have a pcie slot lmao
We want more pc rebuild like this !
Here we go again with another fantastic content ❤ always waiting for your future videos😊😎
im just smile every you upload new video
Yooo thas crazy 🔥
Nice vid! Thanks
Good job!😊
Молодец, что вернул трек "I'm better off", это твоя фишка 😊. ❤❤
Yes, buying the A-SUS Motherboard will do the trick😁🖒
So basically just building a new PC but reusing the CPU and RAM? How is this even a conversion?
I think this video is about making fun of lenovo bcs the pc wasn't upgradable
I think the same bro :D but I've change the title to be more accurate. Plus these Lenovo aren't cheap and you get no options for hardware expansions :/
Very nice budget PC , case was meh, but that is the point! very sad about the first pc, look really pretty and was super-small, sadly the client needed something else. nice video!
I have the exact same 4060 as you and it's one of the best bang for buck GPU's. I paid £299 for mine and it runs all my games at 1440p medium and 1080p high/ultra. Great video. Thanks.
is this a joke ? you've changed everything!!!
Actually, yes, but about Lenovo, these Lenovo are not cheap and you don't get hardware for the price you paid for. For about 450 euros I got all other parts... And this Lenovo is about 500+ euros. No slot for GPU or other hardware...
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew I think in these cases it would be better to rewrite the script to make it less misleading. Even with the changed title, I don't get the purpose of trying to reuse the Lenovo.
Good job there! Given how proprietary the office PC was, going for a new MB/case/PSU and adding a GPU was definitely the best thing to do there.
You can still use that office PC with weaker components if you find compatible items to install.
Single channel memory will limit performance in games, but 16GB is certainly doable for most games out there.
The owner will be very happy with what they have received, and of course there is upgrade potential too.
This was an interesting idea. Now you should get the old parts from the office pc and see if you can make a server, streaming pc, home pc, etc. You can also try to max it out and see how well it does in gaming.
i thought you were going to modify the board you can use a m.2 pcie converter but this is still nice
me too but makes no sense: lowprofile card are expensive!
also, motherboard had be changed one way or another.
the modding inside the case would had to be mad hard to be able to install a mini-itx mobo.
powersupple compatibility?
nah, Im sure that was the best way to expend correctly the money. Yes, the first pc looks beautifull but, the client needed something else ... so, it is what it is.
FYI, foam can generate static electricity, and possibly fry the motherboard.
Hmmm.... salvaged the CPU, RAM and M.2 SSD from the original PC. The lack of PCIe slot in the original motherboard is awful - Lenovo cutting costs so much as to make some of their hardware near-useless for upgrades.
its so nice to watch your video after i got scammed on cheap PC parts on fb marketplace.
nice build though..
I got scammed as well once. Now when I buy some cheaper stuff I go personally there
Cool RUclipsr builds entirely new Computer, harvesting CPU/Ram from Older computer being put out to the pasture.
Love the new build you made but the old case is very pretty i would love to turn that case into a build do you know any were i could get the case by its self by an chance
that's cool PC case you choose there :D, btw you should add more ram to 16gb, nowdays game are crazy on ram usage
Yep 16GB is too low, but the budget for this PC was about 450 euros. All the parts were taken on sale, already unpacked with dust
exactly building new one brother
He could probably upgrade the stuff he kept for the price of the GPU. He went this far, why not go all the way?
Pov: you have that one Pc in your insurances company.
I'll be doing the same to my Dell Optiplex 3040
🎉 you finally put windows 11
Rebuild PC❌
Make a whole new PC✅
In case anyone's wondering, the model of the Lenovo is the IdeaCentre 5.
I already tried looking for 2nd hand deals but didn't find anything worthwhile.
Are you kidding you built a new computer .
Once you discover that there is no PCIE port
You have to cancel the idea and look for another computer that biomes the PCIE port
For the graphics card, I would have gone with the less expensive ASRock Phantom Gaming 16GB Arc A770. It has a 256-bit memory bus vs 128-bit on the RTX 4060.
i think you should put a decent cpu in the lenovo pc for it to be a nice pc so that it doesn't go to e waste. also some nice ram and ssd for it
also, did a similar thing but its with an xps 8910 to give it better cooling and more airflow. i plan on throwing in an i5 and give it to someone. the cpu it had though, was an i7-6700k.
No dual-channel uf
❤❤❤
Everything is new except cpu, ram and m2.
What you are saying and doing is totally different 🤷🏽♂️
The legendary music is still alive bro!❤🔥 Can you pinn me?😂
Ship of Theseus
❤❤❤❤
What monitor do you use?
What about saldering 1 pci slot on the motherboard? maybe it just work.
Another funny method could be using a nvme to pci adaptor and put the graphic card vertically
nah, that is" overcomplicating things"
@@YuProduccionesit's content
Please do not put the ram in the near slot. Manuals will tell you which slot is the correct one, but the usual location is the ram slot which is further most away from the CPU socket.
Even the PCs are getting blacked now 💀
New PC assembly
Can you try to make gaming PC from old case?
No bro, this Lenovo is already in function, but with a weaker CPU, standard 2.5" SSD and 4GB RAM, enough for office use
so what parts are from the original pc?
cpu ram and m.2 ssd thats it u cant really do anything with the stock mobo because it doesnt have pci express slot for the GPU
wake up babe, new andrew video just dropped
wouldv'e been better if you had added another stick of RAM and installed in on A2 rather than A1
I kinda liked the OEM case,pretty unique for an oem case, a single stick of ram is a NO NO,is the 6700xt more expensive in ur area?this is a gaming PC build,right?,n that motherboard,u should have stress tested it,the VRM on ASUS mobos nowadays are a tad finicky the brand seems to be running on its brand name nowadays while producing sub-per products
This is lie! Watch me harvest parts from this lame jaun for my new gamer rig. Love it, im dyin!
I tried the same but i used an hp motherboard but i don’t know what did i do but the motherboard simply died on me and a capacitor go boom for what ever reason
Good choice not peeling off the film
It was a strange content
HELLOOOOO
why don't you just use an NVMe to PCIE riser for the graphics and a SATA ssd for storage?
overcomplicated this is wayy better
why does that lenovo even exist in desktop form?
is this the other way for lenovo to "up-selling" legion pre-built PC? i mean, no PCIE Slot what the f.
This isn't in any way a conversion, whipping 2 high end parts out of one build to stick in a completely new build.
I don know why in now days office pc have i7 CPU and 16 GB of ram
bro you just put a whole new system this isn't conversion.
You'd be better off finding an office PC like this one but with a PCIE port
This looks too much like a new Pc all together
A Indian Fan of your videos.
🎉 (1st comment)
You can just add low profile RTX 4060 like ETA Prime and get same performance , I don't like this video because its loser money in same performance and thank you.
Is another pc men😂😂😂
GTA 5 N/A
last
'Promo SM' 👉
Gaming PC with single channel memory...
he had to do it cheapest as possible.. it will be alr
@@dendys04 with expensive case (: Cheaper case -> more RAM🤔
Bro I really don't understand why that person brought a new office PC and requested you to transform it into a gaming PC. Why didn't he/she buy PC parts in the first place? =)))
Hi bro, the office pc was given as gift, but not good enough to play games or do some work more
It would be better for that person to just sell the office PC cuz it is a new PC, and use the money from selling it to buy more parts.
Love your other videos, but this video has a deceptive title.
You didn't save any money vs just buying the cpu/ram and ssd. Plus you have created e-waste of the Lenovo case, mob, and power supply. 🤷♂
This Lenovo is gotten for a free as gift, other parts I got it for pretty cheap. E-waste isn't crated because In that Lenovo now is a weaker Intel CPU, standard SSD and 4GB RAM just enough for office use.
Does not make sense. Ram and ssd are cheap. Buying all these parts, might as well buy the rest and build the pc from new parts and sell office pc for more.
I gotta be honest, Andrew. This video was very misleading. I had the impression that you were gonna convert this Lenovo office PC into somewhat of a gaming PC but all you essentially did was harvest its CPU, SSD and RAM stick and then put them into an entirely new PC with and a new power supply, fans, a whole new case and even a new motherboard. Very disappointed with this one.
WTF🤣
😔 terrible choice for the gpu. That 8gb 4060 is one of the worst gpus you can buy at its msrp. It is better to buy a second hand 6800xt or 6900xt, since not even RTX is worth on thay piece of trash.
Actually I don't like most of the newer hardware, mostly the hardware is made very poorly I think kinderegg use better plastic. But for this build the budget was max 450 euros. So the choice was tight as well :D
Lame....
andrew I don't like this video, title is misleading, you just harvesh part
You didn't turn an old pc into gaming pc you just build an a brend new pc. this is the first time you scam your viewers im very disappointed
he saved the cpu ram and m.2 ssd
First dislike
Why?
@@vaseamdbecause he can't afford shit
Third dislike
WTF is this? a video moving 3 parts? Oh God.
ok so you just built a different PC and used the CPU from the old one
Budget pc?
