Nice to see you Rocking the 8th OEM build Zach, there still a little pricy for us UK flippers at the moment but there coming in the right direction ❤️

[nahuelcarrizo]

Zach, it would be nice if next time you included the tempetures for the GPU and CPU, so we can check how hot it will run

[NemusDark]

It turned out Great! I5 8400 is definitely capable in 2023!

i know why your single stick of 16GB ram didn't work. Dell and HP in particular actually 'bind' their motherboard or rather RAM sticks to the motherboard so a very specific set of ram sticks will work.

[digitaltutorials]

Breaking the RAM slot is so rare. I've never heard of that. Best part of this video. Break stuff more often!

[ghosttheoremproductions]

I think that the beast for this concept right now is the HP Pavilion 570. 6th gen intel but it takes standard power supplies without needing adapters and they are dirt cheap.

[quinncamargo]

You have been rocking the white aesthetic look. Nice build!

[LofiBeats_Chill]

Holy Heck I did not think Zach would be this jacked

[clintgirard]

Any thought of adding another restocked pc to your website?

[reypedrof]

That nvme bend it's hurting my heart

[BillyBobDingledorf]

I followed you ebay link and other than the esthetics there was a machine that was nearly identical to your final build for $285. Intel i5 8400, 16GB ram, and even a GTX 1650. The odd part was the HD. It had a 1TB spinner with a 16GB Optane in the M.2 slot, which I assume Windows uses for a mega cache.
I have no use for such a machine and I'm not a flipper, but I'm tempted... Maybe an HTPC?

I got one of those HP pro desks with an i7 8700 and 16 gigs of ram I got Acacian a GPU and a motherboard and I’m all set and it is running well

[SmithBeatZ]

I've ordered and used quite a bit of them NETAC drives around Black Friday for builds. They're solid budget options. The cheapest 1TB atm are those Intel M.2 NVME and the Muskin 1TB were just on a crazy sale.

[Greguu.]

Nice pc and nice video . Keep up the good videos ! ( im the guy that gave the final boost for level4

[TechVuee]

MP34 M.2 is the "upgraded" option of the MP33 for roughly the same price. The MP34 has DRAM while the MP33 doesn't.

Sick video

[salazarFrfr]

Could you try to make a budget PC but with only new parts😅

[christianmino]

Hey guys just a note SOME models of the 1650 and the 1050ti DO REQUIRE EXTERNAL POWER!
MOST of them do not but some do so i wanted to give my fellow flippers a heads up! I use them all the time and have to be careful. Also the 1650 super ALWAYS requires external power so dont get mixed up! Flip on!

I have been thinking about building a cheap PC with the Ryzen 5 5600g is it any good for a first PC?

[Elvarg]

I have that same tower and gpu combo. I found the tower with i5 8400 12 gb ram 1tb hdd for 20 bucks at goodwill. I upgraded to 16gb, 1tb nvme, and an asus gtx 1650. Plays everything I want it to

[ChiefGudDClan]

Nah Bro the 2 Black Panther Stickers Made Up for the Broken Ram Slot Adding the extra 8 Gb of Ram You Needed 😂
