I texted the first guys ad and told him science studio reviewed his ad lol He's watching it now he said. Man that was a good deal! Happy he didn't over charge like most people. We need more people like that in this world 😂
My experience has always been if you see "6-core AMD gaming PC" or "8-core AMD gaming PC", it's always a Phenom or FX series chip. Whenever it's a Ryzen build, they usually say Ryzen in the title, and if not, it'll just say "Gaming PC" or something simple. I just skip over the posts with titles like the first two because I know I'll be wasting my time looking!
13:00 the cpu and mobo aren't even compatible. It's an FM2+ CPU and AM3+ Mobo. The fact he wants $500 for those parts is insane, you can build a ryzen 3 1200 + gtx 1050 pc new for around $500.
Fuck Ryzen and a 1050, $500 USD can get you a 4770K and GTX 1060 6GB with 16GB of DDR3-1600 and a 240GB SSD if you buy used and look in the right places.
Honestly the old stock coolers are the worst idk anyone who has a bad stock cooler but mine but would get so loud and overheat to 100😭 sometimes 110 and i would turn the pc off and leave it off for the day because of the cooler but honestly i prefer air coolers but will buy the cooler master aio thats on sale for 45 bucks 😂 for the 240 aio rad if anyone wants to upgrade their pc master race rig
Greg, the second add you featured with the ASUS Z97 MOBO and the i7 4790 (non K) happens to be a bit of a special unicorn and the gentleman isn't wrong saying that he can overclock it. You should check it out TBH.... Get you an Asus Z97 Mobo and any i5 or i7 4th gen CPU (non K) and first let ASUS's 7-Way Fan tune and auto performance utility do its magic by being very aggressive with your statement of what kind of cooling you are using on the CPU when it ask's... State that you are using a full blown AIO or WC setup ( I recommend it ) for doing this hack or you'll most likely run into blue screens.... BUT... let it run and its going to land you on all cores somewhere around the 3.9 - 4.0GHz range... NOW once you've done that the BCLK is fully unlocked as well as the power sliders and if you baby step it up on the BCLK i've got this same NON overclocking CPU Overclocked to 4.355GHz on all cores with this method. Also have gotten the i5 4670? I think it's called with the same trick jamm'n at 4.104GHz stable
Can confirm. I have a ASUS Z97-A with an i7 4790 and with BLCK over clocking I can get 4200mhz at 1.15 volts. It can go higher, around 4300mhz but the voltage is about 1.2.
Loved the VIdeo, I've seen a few of your other craigslist vids, but this one is really nice as you shown a variety of ads and I learned a lot from this video, so if I sell my current PC very helpful tips included in here and to see high quality ads vs low quality was great for learning. Very Helpful and Informative. You can easily see the difference between someone who knows about pc hardware vs someone who does not state specifics/less knowledgeable about pc parts.
I just got an i5 8400, ASUS B360 TUF, VIPER 8GB DDR4 2400 MHz for $150 and an ex-mining EVGA 1060 6GB SC for $90, all off of craigslist. Picked up a EVGA 500w for $19.99 and 240GB SSD for $49.99 on Cyber Monday. Threw it all in the entertainment center in the living room and BAM perfect hidden 1080p rig for just over $300.00 (got my windows key on sale $25 from kinguin). You should keep an eye on Lee County craigslist because I have found a lot of good deals here.
You can oc the locked cpu on z97 using the base multiplayer not as much ofcourse but you can still hit something like 400mh+ not that bad if you ask me
I like these "flea market" types of vids that you critique systems based on your astute opinion. It helps me approach buying parts less pensively and allows me to get my head out of solely looking at retailer's offerings and witnessing different builds for what they're worth from the different perspectives as a seller and potential buyer. Sometimes it can get tedious and fatiguing to only consider retail products at MSRP and all the mental overclocking that comes with only desiring new gear at the cheapest price possible, perhaps wasting time for a better deal that may never come, especially when so many bargains can found in the classifieds. Cheers!
@@GregSalazar The architecture is way different, all the cores are actually full cores, no module crap like Bulldozer/Piledriver. That said though, it is even more outdated and does have its own issues like lack of SSE4 and a pretty low clock speed ceiling. I just think it's important to make the distinction.
I think the $1 PC idea is based on the fact that it shows up first, when people order the search listings with price from high to low. I usually ignore these listings. Also, just a note on the white build at 8:30 (and nice looking builds in general): I think a lot of people will pay a little extra for a sexy looking build, which is fair enough. Some people just don't know how to build a PC, others won't be bothered, or have the time to do it, and some people are just suckers for a sexy looking PC and they want it NOW! And there can be other factors, such as research, shipping costs, and delivery time for components if you decide to build your own. And I think some people will pay a little extra if the Craigslister lives close by. I think people who build PC's automatically assume that it's easy (which it is!) but for people who don't know how to do it, it seems like rocket science. When I tell my friends that I built my own PC they seem to imagine me soldering transistors together, and sparks flying everywhere, like I'm building an Iron man suit or something...
I have LG 60" fullhd 3d smart plasma tv from 2014 and it has about little under half inch bezels. Still rocking strong, nice image and black levels and input lag.
Just to clarify: You can overclock a 4th gen locked SKU on a Z97 motherboard by 200 MHz or so to make the Turbo frequency match the base frequency, essentially making it what the MCE does.
04:10 Yes you can overclock Haswell and Devils Canyon CPUs with a locked multiplier, especially with a good mainboard. First of all you can raise the boost clock for all cores to max frequency and then you can raise the base clock. Mind you that on a multi of x40 even a 5 MHz increase on the baseclock is going to increase the actual cpu frequency by 200 MHz on all cores... I thought you knew that Greg, if my memory serves me correct your channel started in the Haswell era and I think I actually learned about overclocking non-k Intel cpus from one of your videos.
That Ryzen 1700 PC is good deal, my friend bought his PC last month and he paid 917$ for i7 8700k, GTX 1070 Ti, ASRock Z370 PRO 4 and 8Gb of ram at 3000mhz, not to boost this guys price but you can get worse deals than that.
#GregSalazar I'm not sure what you were thinking at the time but the Phenom II Series CPU's are NOT The same architecture as the Piledriver or Bulldozer FX CPU's and Unlike the FX Series in which an 8 core is really more like a 4 core the Phenom II Series CPU's had FULL Real Cores, The Phenom II Series "WAS" Yes past tense one of the Best CPU's AMD ever Made until the Ryzen Series came out. Aside from that one thing this was yet another great video, I always enjoy watching you tear apart the rip off artists and this video was equally enjoyable since you showed some decent deals as well, Keep up the good work.
My dad still uses a Vizio 42" Plasma from 2009 and it's still running after all these years, 1080p/all u need for watching cable tv and renting movies from Redbox now and then, I think he paid like 7 or 8 hundred for it back then. Its a furnace though lol, great when winter hits.
I think the first rig would've been worth its price if its was completely new. But it was used..so it should've been more like $1300-1400. I'm adding up the parts and I'm only getting about $1400 total for them - and I priced it new.
In my experience of buying prebuilts in the past, you have to consider the "labor cost". It varies on person. I've seen labor charge from $50 to a few hundred dollars. they do seem overpriced on any listing but for profit sake thats how they roll. Love these vids man
Regarding that i7-4790 and overclocking. There were instances that they could overclock it provided the motherboard can support it. During Skylake was the time that Intel locked the access to the multplier of non-K CPU regardless of motherboard used. The last 'commercially available' non-K SKU CPU that could be overclocked in Intel side was the 4th Gen.
i think the $1 tactic is simular to bidding, people will text him and some might say would $2000 be enough for that build, when he had $1500 in mind, and then he would try to push it to $2100 or something and in the end agree for $1900 which he profits in the end lol
The $220 AMD 6 core pc is using GA-790XTA-UD4 motherboard and Phenom II X6 1055T wich i'm using exactly except mine is overclocked to 3.8GHz, has been stable 4,0GHz
He's kinda already doing that... It's called Ghetto Studio. When he announced the series, he said he's had lots of requests to critique people's builds but he feels that that idea is already well covered by others on RUclips... So he created his own spin on it.
What would be a fair price for an : i7 4770 non K ( stock cooler) , asrock z87 pro3 , 8gb ddr3 corsair vengeance 1600 mhz cl9 , gigabyte gtx 780 windforce 3x ? Curious because i was barely able to sell the processor mobo and ram for 200 usd.
That $220 system is actually a great deal for budget hunters. That thing will still play some games at 1080p with some tweaks. I've got a 7970 in one of my spare machines and that thing still cranks out playable frames with GTA V!
I have That LG Plasma. But, mines a 50in. Yep THICCCC bezel, and weighs a friggen Ton.... LOL I'd hate to think what that 60in. weighs.... :O Been rocking mine since Christmas 2009, and still going strong. I even PC game on mine...
The 500 Dollar AMD 860k build probably was a youtube budget build from like 2016 for the same price. When I sell used stuff I typically half the price & check with the market.
Why so low on the 1080? You know right here in Vegas you're lucky to find one below $600 on CL. Yeah I know there are two right now for less than $500 but they just hit CL.
I need to sell a lot of things that so far doesn't fit my needs and I have, like a EVGA X99 Classified Motherboard at $175, a CPU Intel 8086K at $375 and some headsets... So taking notes of how to post
well 7:45 you can run the Phenom x6 1055t 4.1 to 4.5 with good cooling and right board oh I had no problem 2x5770 and 390x but this is old and is just to have as a temp pc for short time
NVMe vs Sata SSDs aren't just slightly slower. It's basically the same for the stuff us normal people do. It's only faster for workstation type applications.
2nd "The Cringer", Motherboard is ASUS ROG (Formula I believe? MkI is the one with thermal Armor) Z97. Still running around $500 (new old stock, $140 used) for, what looks like, pretty good condition. The Non-K Skew, still over $200. If you're thinking eBay pricing. No matter how you slice it, still seems like a GREAT Buy (even with the Cringy OEM Cooler, ICK!). FYI
I've been wanting to start off building and refurbishing fairly low end computers, but I'm not old enough to sign up for an ebay account just yet. Is there even a market for those kinds of PC's on Craiglist?
Im using athlon x4 840, 8gb ram and rx580 8gb. Just use what ever i can get right now and i dont have tower case. Hope can complete the build and doing upgrade for next months
You can overclock a "k" cpu... PLL is the magic term to search. Anyways, love the videos, you do a lot for the community and help to teach the noobs, thanks for that!
What were you talking about with the RAM speed and the CC X's on the Ryzen platform? I couldn't follow you there, but am building a Ryzen system and curious about what you were talking about?
The interconnect between AMD Ryzen CCX, Or core complexes, is called the 'Infinity Fabric'. That interconnect is locked to RAM speeds and because of that, Ryzen CPUs do much better in pretty much every task with faster RAM speeds. I got some GSkill 3200mhz for my new Ryzen build. Waiting on Fedex to deliver it as we speak. Personally after seeing benchmarks, I wouldn't go with anything less than 3000mhz with a Ryzen platform.
@@IndigoVikingTV Glad I could help. Good luck with the build and reply if you have any troubles. I've been building about as long as Greg has been alive. Haha.
I recenly bought a pc on craigslist and got burned. I've seen it boot twice, once the day i brought it home, and once after i got it back from the pc repair guy the first time. When i go to pick it up the second time he tells me it cant be fixed, even after trying a new board and cpu. Which i can't believe. Would you be interested in taking it in for a video?
9900k cpu is amazing. If you are running it stock temps are fine, and gaming performance is amazing. Not to mention the price drop that it has had. I bought mine for 390$
I actually don't even deal with people who put 1 dollar. I have my price range close to what I'm willing to spend. an example would be if I'm looking to spend 1000 ill put 750-1250 or so
Speaking of garbage deals, i keep finding people that try selling a pc saying there are a bunch of games included. And if i ask if they have the discs of the games they say no its steam downloads then im like...so i can have your steam account? Still overpriced stuff
Hey mate love your content I Have 2400mhz single chanell ram in my Ryzen build which I Overclocked to 2733mhz in the bios with cl16 cas latency timings. performance in games is satisfactory for now. My question is 2733 mhz considered decent for ryzen? Running 1500x @ 4.1 ghz, will get a second stick of ram in the future, budget allowed only for one stick for now.
The fact that it's running in single channel is hurting you more than 2733mhz. You're losing about 20-40% of your possible memory bandwidth by having only one stick. (Based on testing done by GamersNexus, others and personal experience) 3000mhz would be better, as would 3200mhz. However the single channel is hurting you more. Get another stick, get it into dual channel and don't worry about it unless you have extra cash or do another upgrade in the future.
I also know youre doing this on the spot but i wouldnt pay anything for a 4765T(3Ghz turbo/8 thread) when you could buy an r5 2600(3.9/12 thread) for 150 all day :PP

What I have learned from the I read playlist,
Greg is pretty funny.
People on Craiglist can be pretty outrageous.
I don't hate everything about life.
16:12 Anyone else notice that the ad lists a Zotac 1050Ti but the picture shows an MSI card
Just built a pc for gam8ng/editing with a 9700k, should i have gotten a 8700k instead? I figured 2 extra cores would be beter that 4 extra cores?
Why so low on the 1080? You know right here in Vegas you're lucky to find one below $600 on CL. Yeah I know there are two right now for less than $500 but they just hit CL.
Dude I love this series that you do!
16:05 is a razer electra v2 usb. New price is 60-70$
your for getting 1 thing the ryzen was $150 for black friday its gone back up now so no more $150 1700 till may be next year`s black friday.
I'm not forgetting it. The 1700 has been around $160 quite a few times outside of Black Friday.
6:09 that case is custom too. i have that exact one and it did not come in those colors
That 860K is a FM2 CPU and the 970 is AM3+.
13:00 cpu stuck to the heatsink lmao
the antec 900 is old but a great case. Costs over $100 today
I need to sell a lot of things that so far doesn't fit my needs and I have, like a EVGA X99 Classified Motherboard at $175, a CPU Intel 8086K at $375 and some headsets... So taking notes of how to post
well 7:45 you can run the Phenom x6 1055t 4.1 to 4.5 with good cooling and right board oh I had no problem 2x5770 and 390x but this is old and is just to have as a temp pc for short time
I'm so glad tvs and monitors ditched the bezels. Thats advertised as a 60inch but it's really a 50inch or so when you remove those thicc ass bezels.
No that's not how it works, it's measured diagonally from corner to corner on the screen not the bezel.
@Cerus98 I understand where your coming from. Ive just always seen bezels to be pointless.
NVMe vs Sata SSDs aren't just slightly slower. It's basically the same for the stuff us normal people do. It's only faster for workstation type applications.
2nd "The Cringer", Motherboard is ASUS ROG (Formula I believe? MkI is the one with thermal Armor) Z97. Still running around $500 (new old stock, $140 used) for, what looks like, pretty good condition. The Non-K Skew, still over $200. If you're thinking eBay pricing. No matter how you slice it, still seems like a GREAT Buy (even with the Cringy OEM Cooler, ICK!). FYI
yes! make more of these!!!
I've been wanting to start off building and refurbishing fairly low end computers, but I'm not old enough to sign up for an ebay account just yet. Is there even a market for those kinds of PC's on Craiglist?
TheJooomes depending on where you live
Im using athlon x4 840, 8gb ram and rx580 8gb.
Just use what ever i can get right now and i dont have tower case.
Hope can complete the build and doing upgrade for next months
You can overclock a "k" cpu...
PLL is the magic term to search.
Anyways, love the videos, you do a lot for the community and help to teach the noobs, thanks for that!
What were you talking about with the RAM speed and the CC X's on the Ryzen platform? I couldn't follow you there, but am building a Ryzen system and curious about what you were talking about?
The interconnect between AMD Ryzen CCX, Or core complexes, is called the 'Infinity Fabric'. That interconnect is locked to RAM speeds and because of that, Ryzen CPUs do much better in pretty much every task with faster RAM speeds.
I got some GSkill 3200mhz for my new Ryzen build. Waiting on Fedex to deliver it as we speak. Personally after seeing benchmarks, I wouldn't go with anything less than 3000mhz with a Ryzen platform.
@@SaintInix Thank you! That's super helpful. I would have ended up with 2666Mhz RAM, so I appreciate your reply.
@@IndigoVikingTV Glad I could help. Good luck with the build and reply if you have any troubles. I've been building about as long as Greg has been alive. Haha.
3:19 the motherboard looks like a really high end one
Is ryzen 5 2600, gtx 1070 gigabyte windforce, 8gb 2400 ram, 400w, for $900 new good?
I genuinely love the vape commercial
evga 1080ti ftw, one of the best cards out there at breaking. Fixed that for you
I recenly bought a pc on craigslist and got burned. I've seen it boot twice, once the day i brought it home, and once after i got it back from the pc repair guy the first time. When i go to pick it up the second time he tells me it cant be fixed, even after trying a new board and cpu. Which i can't believe. Would you be interested in taking it in for a video?
14:54 It looks like an ASRock AB350 Pro4 to me
what about the Intel Core i7-9700K 8-Core 3.6 GHz for gaming and why not 9900k?
9900k cpu is amazing. If you are running it stock temps are fine, and gaming performance is amazing. Not to mention the price drop that it has had. I bought mine for 390$
Congrats on your masters by the way!!!
that razer headset new is like 50-60 dollars, it's the razer electra it looks like.
I actually don't even deal with people who put 1 dollar.
I have my price range close to what I'm willing to spend.
an example would be if I'm looking to spend 1000 ill put 750-1250 or so
@4:20 you can overclock older intel non K chips with BCLK while not totally recommended you can still get away with it
4765T running at 2.2GHz lul, my 4790k runs at 4.7GHz and not even pushing it
I clicked on the vid because I was secretly hoping Greg would highlight my Dell XPS for sale with an Intel Xeon in it.
Loved the "THICC".
The $500 parts deal is weird; that CPU isn't compatible with that motherboard
- member the first time Greg did Craiglist video?
- oh, i memeber
Speaking of garbage deals, i keep finding people that try selling a pc saying there are a bunch of games included. And if i ask if they have the discs of the games they say no its steam downloads then im like...so i can have your steam account? Still overpriced stuff
Hey man I got a Vega 980 ti hybrid I want to sell but don't know how much to price it. I was thinking $300? Still works great an stays cool.
'Craigslist to Gregslist' should the name of good Craigslist ads.
Hey mate love your content I Have 2400mhz single chanell ram in my Ryzen build which I Overclocked to 2733mhz in the bios with cl16 cas latency timings. performance in games is satisfactory for now. My question is 2733 mhz considered decent for ryzen? Running 1500x @ 4.1 ghz, will get a second stick of ram in the future, budget allowed only for one stick for now.
The fact that it's running in single channel is hurting you more than 2733mhz. You're losing about 20-40% of your possible memory bandwidth by having only one stick. (Based on testing done by GamersNexus, others and personal experience)
3000mhz would be better, as would 3200mhz. However the single channel is hurting you more. Get another stick, get it into dual channel and don't worry about it unless you have extra cash or do another upgrade in the future.
haha you said " I'm more of a hard tubing guy"
What are the monitors on the thumbnail?
I also know youre doing this on the spot but i wouldnt pay anything for a 4765T(3Ghz turbo/8 thread) when you could buy an r5 2600(3.9/12 thread) for 150 all day :PP
got a Dell Precision T3500 with a RX570 for 220... 10/10
Greg is a THICC BEZEL BOI.
Is EveRyDay BLacK Friday when your buying comPuter tech...?
Mehhhh
what do you think of the Intel Core i9-8950HK 6-Core processor 2.90GHz (4.80GHz Turbo Boost and overclockable CPU)??
