The hate on the RTX 4060 Ti is real. And I get it - every tech RUclipsr clobbered it. But Brandon wanted an efficient card with DLSS for some of the games he plays. The 4060 wasn't released as of time of filming. And those screaming "6700 XT!!!" need to understand that not everyone has a preference for AMD - even when perf./$ is clearly on its side. You'll see even more of it when season 2 of Gear Up airs. Personally, in an $800 budget, I'd have gone with a used RTX 3080 or thereabouts for around $400, but it obviously wasn't possible during this in-store challenge. I hope this clears things up a bit. Thanks for watching!
The 4060ti is as good or better than the 6700XT, around the same price and if you are upgrading from an old PC, there is nothing wrong with it. Same deal with the 7600 from AMD. People need to get over it honestly. If you have a 3060, yeah sure the 4060ti is dogwater for an upgrade.
@@AxTROUSRxMISSLE I live my life just fine thank you. As a PC gamer myself with a higher end rig I just feel some parts could of been chosen better here
I am impressed that he simply adapted to the unit he had for all those 8 years. Got a lot a usage out of the computer you built, you should be proud of him. Now, if you could teach him how to clean his computer once a year, he will achieve the pinnacle of Gaming Zen Mastery.
yeah I am constantly upgrading stuff. i built my first rig about 4yrs ago I went from a R5 3600, 16GB DDR4 3200, a $65 MATX motherboard and a refurbished GTX 1060 to what i have now a R9 5900X, RTX 3080, 32GB DDR4 3600, and i just upgraded my mobo yesterday to a MSI MEG B550 Unify-X. In that 4yrs I've had 3 different CPUs, 4 different GPUs, and 4 different motherboards. Luckily I've been able to sell all my old major components, for example i bought the RTX 3080 used on ebay a few months ago for $560 and sold my RTX 2070 Super one day after listing it for $225. It's time to upgrade my RAM now to 64GB I think.
@@NonLegitNation2 Most of my past gpus have been used, and upgrading the pc is more fun than actually gaming sometimes lol. Also great that AM4 supported so many generations, and just so simple to drop in a new cpu and breathe even more life into it
@@Bdot888 exactly. That is the reason why I haven't upgraded to AM5 yet, because I don't want to have to buy a new CPU, mobo and RAM. I think I'll stick with my R9 5900X for atleast 2yrs, or until I find a good deal on a 5950X. Hopefully within 2yrs the price overall for AM5 components will drop some.
This is how brothers work, my sons are exactly that way. My oldest cleans his gaming PC weekly, and keeps it spotless. My youngest keeps his on the ground, has cats, and doesn't worry about it until it needs a hair cut.
Parts seen in this video. CPU Ryzen 5 5600 GPU MSI 4060ti Ventus 3X Motherboard Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC Case Lian Li 205 M Mesh SSD Samsung 980 Pro 1TB Looks like he also has a ARGB hub and cable extension kit as well.
wow 4060 ti is super overkill for a 5600, you want no bottleneck or at most slight GPU bottleneck, but 5600+ 4060 ti is definitely CPU bottleneck and not even that small. Afaik best match for a 5600 is a 3060 ti, and 4060 ti is basically a 3070 ti, so cpu bottleneck.
Wow. If someone told me the specs of that PC without telling me the parts were open box, I'd have NEVER thought you could get those specs on an $800 budget. 🌋
Oh man, so good to see Josh! It's been quite some time and I was hoping he was doing alright. Great work on your bro's build Greg! You are totally right, there's just something about the black/red builds for gaming PC's, it just works so well. He also lucked out so well with that RAM. Good pairing. Keep up the excellent work you do!
The Double Helix in the front of the case is still awesome to look at. It's amazing that the AIO is still functioning considering that it was a much maligned version that many people thought would break because of the glass tube coming off of the block.
We used several of those AIOs for years earlier on in the channel's life. Never had issues with the glass tubing. Most people weren't smacking them with hardware hahah.
@@GregSalazar Yep, I remember you recommended them and used them a bunch. Almost built with it myself a few times, but the people the PCs were being built for always chose a different AiO with more RGB.
Holy shit! Josh! Last time I saw him in a video Kyle was still called awesomesauce and Jay was in the desert sitting on a Fractal case. Good to see him doing well
I'm relatively new to the PC space (at least insofar as looking into builds), may I ask who Josh is? Not a familiar face to me. Also Jay on a Fractal case in the desert, what LMAO
All the employees at the Houston MicroCenter are super helpful. Never had a problem with anything I purchased from that store. It's too bad you didn't have enough money for a new power supply and memory so that the old computer could be cleaned up and used for a Linux OS, but he could still do that in the future.
Sweet build you managed to make for your brother. I wish I had had a Micro Center near me. I'm planning to upgrade to a new pc build using a 7800x3d later this year.
I see a lot of people not believing he played for so long on that PC, and I'm not sure why. He had a 1060 starter rig (basically), but with much better RAM. There are a ton of these rigs out there, basically the majority of gamers are using something similar, and they are using them for a reason: They are dirt cheap to build, there are plenty of them floating around on Ebay for even cheaper, and they will literally play anything... just with pretty low settings when you start to move into modern titles.
Oh man! i used to be the little brother that knew nothing and just wanted to game... now the tables have turned and i find myself upgrading and optimizing my brother's old pc.
Watching this video, I was impressed with what he got for his money. Only thing that wasn't mentioned, was what cpu he got. One think I would've changed, was the cpu cooler. For someone that let's his pc get a dirty as he does, looks aren't everything too him. So I would've passed on the cable mods.
That build is sick, the only thing that bothered me was that there was no exhaust fan, just some cheap black fan would have done the trick, or just take a fan from the old build.
How the hell did you have such great RAM in that old thing? It must have cost a fortune when you first bought it. It took a long time for RAM that fast to come down in price. Absolutely nailed the build BTW. 4060Ti is perfect for what he needs, and very power efficient. You can’t go wrong.
9:14 Who is cringing and thinking a 600w PSU isn't enough for the vast majority of gaming PC builds today? xD Not everything is a 7900XTX or 3090. Not everything draws 350 watts under load. Irrational fear. Stop being silly Greg. Also whyyy the 4060 Ti!? The 6700XT would have knocked that thing flat for $100 cheaper. xD
I got so excited seeing the background when you were talking to your brother when you were in a microcenter, I thought there was one I didn't know about here that was local... guess ill have to wait for the Miami one still... Microcenter FL needs you!
Dang Greg, I didn't know you were in my neck of the woods. I live about 10 minutes from that micro center. Killer job man. Got to keep on helping your family out then no matter what, no matter how bad to get on your nerves. Love the content man. Take it easy
This reminds me of my dads 2005 PC. I cut the motherboard tray out, and made a DIY open frame out of wood. Add a sata ssd and now I can watch Formula 1 in peace. Awesome video Greg!
Man that was so fun!!!!! I build PC for my sister and my brother but they are not as invilved as your brother !!! That was really fresh piece of content! ^^
Greetings from Houston Greg! Glad to know you were in town! Love that MicroCenter, picked up my favorite Ifixit tools there! Love your channel and keep it up!
That rig was old. Wish I lived closer to you or micro center. My gigabyte mobo is am3+ with ide and sata hhd supported. The build was in 2011. Your a nice brother.
I was def gonna say used 3080 would have been by far the best but def understand wanting to do it the way that yous did, glad to see yous spending time.
I love that he went for a M-ATX form factor, we are a dying species. AMD GPU would go great but I understand your pinned comment. This new rig will hopefully last him 5 years.
I just read your pinned comment and I have an better understanding of motives now. I live 10 mins from a MicroCenter and it pained me to see some of his choices. I would love to do a $800-$1000 challenge in my local micro.
My case is so good with preventing dust that I barely need to clean it but I still do every few months. It amazes me how many people just don't clean lol. It's like your house, it needs cleaning! Some people just don't seem bothered by it lol. I finally got my friend to keep her PC off the flloor when I built her a new one!
For all the Microcenter money spent on RUclips, not letting us buy from online or putting stores in places like Seattle is HUGE waste. I have some working MB with CPUs and coolers that I have no idea what is in them either. I love videos like this because they relate to so many people wanting to catch up on a budget!. One of the benefits of the RTX 4XXX cards is newer features with much lower power need, something many sites pretend doesn't matter. Brandon It's OK to put it on the floor, if you don't have good space on the desk. I have Photo printers and robot chess boards so PC is under desk.
Passing on the Seattle area seems to be a poor choice. The Fry's that was in Renton was one of Fry's top 5 stores.... and it showed since good PC parts were always out of stock at the Renton Fry's location. However, I assume the strong presence of Amazon, High property taxes in King County, poor logistics, and political uncertainty is the reason they passed on Seattle/King County/Washington state.
Heck...the nearest Fry's in Las Vegas was a 20-30 minute drive...based on how bad the traffic on the Strip was... I wished MicroCenter would have put one there...
Most of the microcenters are cool like that, they know you had to travel out there in order to buy parts. So they rather know everything is working before you leave, less hassle. The one time I shopped there I asked if I could test the open box motherboard before i left and they gave me some desk room and a power supply.
That setup seems really power efficient! I have never been to a Microcenter yet, but the Houston location is about 4 hours away from me. I could take a trip there and spend a whole day in Microcenter lol
5:30 lots of Asus boards on that old shelf there. If I had a MC nearby, I would see if I could get a deal on an Asus Z790 board or maybe an X670e board and update the BIOS.
Amd cards are usually cheaper than Nvidia cards. If you were maximizing the budget you should've maybe went that route. But it's a choice. And with the extra money you saved you could've gotten more nvme storage
While I'd generally agree, this generation Nvidia cards are more power efficient and they are hobbled by that 600W PSU. Personally I would have kept the existing GPU for now as it's a really bad time to buy but a computer parts store can't exactly say that 😛
4060 Ti is definitely fine but in 8 years when u rebuild the PC for him again you will ask the question, why did I get him this 4060 Ti, what was I thinking. 😂
It's perfectly fine for folks starting from scratch who want an efficient, DLSS-capable card. Much different if you're upgrading from something that's already pretty solid in 2023...
Gonna be the first to admit my rig is on the floor. I hate having it on the floor, but I have a full size case and used to have it on my desk until I bought my bigger monitor and there is just no room anymore. The room I am in has very limited space, especially considering I have a 58" TV right next to my set up as well. If I can ever restructure my room, hopefully I can get it back up off the floor but sadly sometimes we have no choice. All my PCs have always been on my desk including my current one, but this is the biggest tower I have had and my monitor upgrade was pretty important to me.
That's one cool gaming machine you guys got there; That's the kind of technology store we Puertoricans need quite desperately; And those are some of the upgrades -Cooling, GPU, RAM, SSD, MOBO, etc.- that I'm planning for my current rig. (If my severely crippled budget allows it, that is.)
How many more of your family members have old PC's like this one!? Don't wait as long as you did for your brother to build them a new one 😂😂😂. Your brother will be very happy, great video!

Hey everyone, I'm curious after watching an upgrade vid like this: what to do w old stuff that just is at the end of its useful life?
Parts seen in this video.
CPU Ryzen 5 5600
GPU MSI 4060ti Ventus 3X
Motherboard Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC
Case Lian Li 205 M Mesh
SSD Samsung 980 Pro 1TB
Looks like he also has a ARGB hub and cable extension kit as well.
1TB, but yeah.
I know it was a typo but... 1GB for the SSD made me lol.
Win 2.0 would be jealous of that much space.
Yeah a 1 GB 980 Pro wouldn’t get very far.
The motherboard was a mediocre choice. Those DS3 boards almost always have garbage VRM components, and mostly without cooling.

Unfortunately, it's CL 17, so it'll fall back to CL 18 on Ryzen, which isn't that great... but still fine and usable.
I mean even the other components are Xeon and Fury X. It's basically TOTL when it was build
Damn man that’s my micro center!!!…..now I need to troll it all the time now!!! Never know who’ll will walk in there.
I'm glad to see he went with AM4 so that the RAM could be reused.

i put mine on the floor (nowhere else really, tbh) and just clean it out every so often
i also wish they had these in the uk lol
Cant beat building PC and making people happy.. good times. Thanks Greg.
So many sweet deals! Also the ram kit is a beast for an older build. It's like he perfectly chose what to go along with the ram
The red fans from the old case would have looked good as 3 exhaust fans
You should definitely cover the new Miami location when it opens up next year!

The Fry's that was in Renton was one of Fry's top 5 stores.... and it showed since good PC parts were always out of stock at the Renton Fry's location. However, I assume the strong presence of Amazon, High property taxes in King County, poor logistics, and political uncertainty is the reason they passed on Seattle/King County/Washington state.
They really need to expand I would trade all the best buys in my state for two micro centers
Heck...the nearest Fry's in Las Vegas was a 20-30 minute drive...based on how bad the traffic on the Strip was... I wished MicroCenter would have put one there...
@m8x425 I would open in Snohomish County north of Seattle for sure. Taxes and crime rates in Seattle south not good. There would be lines.
Well done! Love a good field build at Micro Center
You pick parts for your brother like he is adopted.
I'm surprised Microcenter allow people to build at their store. Cool of them!
Most of the microcenters are cool like that, they know you had to travel out there in order to buy parts. So they rather know everything is working before you leave, less hassle. The one time I shopped there I asked if I could test the open box motherboard before i left and they gave me some desk room and a power supply.
Mine is 10;minutes away from home 🙂
he is a pretty famous yt'er so it makes sense why Microcenter would let him lmao
That setup seems really power efficient! I have never been to a Microcenter yet, but the Houston location is about 4 hours away from me. I could take a trip there and spend a whole day in Microcenter lol

5:30 lots of Asus boards on that old shelf there. If I had a MC nearby, I would see if I could get a deal on an Asus Z790 board or maybe an X670e board and update the BIOS.
Amd cards are usually cheaper than Nvidia cards. If you were maximizing the budget you should've maybe went that route. But it's a choice. And with the extra money you saved you could've gotten more nvme storage
While I'd generally agree, this generation Nvidia cards are more power efficient and they are hobbled by that 600W PSU.
Personally I would have kept the existing GPU for now as it's a really bad time to buy but a computer parts store can't exactly say that 😛
FRACTAL JOSH IT'S BEEN A MINUTE< GOOD TO SEE YOU SINCE JAY, AUSTIN, BITWIT THOSE LAST 2 BUILDING A A PC IN BACK OF A SPEEDBOAT!
I met him there! i was super happy to see him
Power supply prices have gone up greatly in the last two years!😲😲
Got to take care of your brother!! ❤
I love that I live 10 minutes away from that Micro Center.
I really need to go to the one and only micro center in my state, that looks so cool and fun, PC doods dream
4060 Ti is definitely fine but in 8 years when u rebuild the PC for him again you will ask the question, why did I get him this 4060 Ti, what was I thinking. 😂
It's perfectly fine for folks starting from scratch who want an efficient, DLSS-capable card. Much different if you're upgrading from something that's already pretty solid in 2023...
@@GregSalazarshould have gone for a 6800xt or a 6700xt instead of a 4060ti tbh
He didn't want those. So no.
love my Air 100 case for my work pc, 10400 & 3060 combo. Mostly for CAD drafting and day trading
Gonna be the first to admit my rig is on the floor. I hate having it on the floor, but I have a full size case and used to have it on my desk until I bought my bigger monitor and there is just no room anymore. The room I am in has very limited space, especially considering I have a 58" TV right next to my set up as well.
If I can ever restructure my room, hopefully I can get it back up off the floor but sadly sometimes we have no choice. All my PCs have always been on my desk including my current one, but this is the biggest tower I have had and my monitor upgrade was pretty important to me.
That's one cool gaming machine you guys got there; That's the kind of technology store we Puertoricans need quite desperately; And those are some of the upgrades -Cooling, GPU, RAM, SSD, MOBO, etc.- that I'm planning for my current rig. (If my severely crippled budget allows it, that is.)
Great video. Awesome upgrades. Be sure to let us know how the new system works.
How many more of your family members have old PC's like this one!? Don't wait as long as you did for your brother to build them a new one 😂😂😂. Your brother will be very happy, great video!
My Microcenter has those RFID boxes so you can hold on to them in your cart until you check out. I like it.
He could have used some of that remaining budget for a matching rear exhaust fan, seems incomplete without one, and help hide the chrome from I/O.
I disagree. Prefer the cleaner look of no rear exhaust. Airflow will be fine 👍
205 and 205m are great, i bought the white model 205 c mesh,im gonna build it tomorrow the cpu arrives, after 5 years of suffering
