I was so confused on how my brand new “gaming” pc was running csgo and tf2 at sub 60fps right out the box and running worse than my laptop at the time. Me trying to figure out why it was so bad really was the thing to get me into hardware as I had to scrap money and build my own system. Thank you msi gt 730, I still have you to this day

Hey Walker I have a question regarding on your pc. Did you upgrade and replace the GPU and CPU or did you throw it away the pc entirely. Cause I have the same situation on having the same specs as u and I don't know much about building my own PC. If you did upgrade, do you mind sharing what you did to make the pc better. Like specifically what you bought that replaced your old GPU, CPU, RAM, and SSD card. I bought the same PC in the video as my first ever pc and soon to realize that it sucked. I bought it pre-build cause I had no idea how to assemble a pc only for it to be bad and not even run games that I want to play. Hell I could barely play Gta V in low settings and it was mostly pixelated. I have a GeForce GT 730 for the GPU and a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core Processeras the CPU, a ADATA SU650 SSD 240GB which can barely store anything, and 8 GB of ram. I have no idea what is compatible with the PC and I don't want to buy something that can't be run on the Pc I have. Any tips would be very appreciated cause I don't want to throw away this pc because it does function and I don't wanna waste more money to buy a new Pc just for it to be the same situation as I have right now. Unless throwing it and buy a better pc is preferable?

@@DavidVargas-dy3om so the Ryzen 5 3600 is actually pretty solid and good for a upgrade path as AM4 is a very well supported CPU socket type, if it were up to me , I would definitely upgrade the GPU to something like a GTX 1060, 1660, or a 1650 Super if you are looking for something a lil cheaper. Also if it were up to me I would throw in a extra 8GB of ram and like a 1TB HDD if you are having issues w storage. I’m assuming you’re on a budget but you at least have the Ryzen 5 3600 which is a solid CPU and can serve as a solid foundation for a decent 1080P 60FPS build if you’re on a budget Here’s a chart if you need some extra clarity CPU : Ryzen 5 3600 (keep, it’s good) GPU : GT 730 > GTX 1060,1660,1650 RAM : 8GB > 16GB SSD : Just keep, you only need for like the OS and other start up things, you can buy a 1 TB Hard drive for cheap and get it running real easy. These are my recommendations as it’s what I did when I first upgraded. Keep in mind this was like a couple years ago and I have different specs now but assuming you are still in high school like I was it’s a more than sufficient build for 1080P 60FPS gaming, lmk if you need anything else I live for this shit.

FYI, I'm pretty sure that the reason things like that RAM sticker say "warranty void if removed" is simply because that sticker contains the batch/serial information which they need to scan in order to process the warranty claim properly in their systems when it's returned. It's purely a procedural/documentation thing, not a damage/tampering issue.
@foogod42372 жыл бұрын
@@Avendesora Yes, which is why _they didn't put it anywhere that necessitates removal for repairs._ I'm not sure whether you maybe actually didn't watch the video (specifically, 20:35, for reference), but the whole point was that the "warranty void if removed" sticker on the RAM was obviously not serving as a tamper-detection sticker here, so the question was why would the warranty be void if it was removed in that case? I was pointing out that there are other reasons _in addition to_ tamper detection why a manufacturer might conceivably need/want a sticker to remain in place for warranty purposes, too.

11 years ago I bought my first pc from iBuypower with a GT460 in it. Seeing that card in the video gave me flashbacks, although this one seem much more modern. Back then I lived very close to the iBuypower HQ and decided to go pick my pc up in person rather than have it shipped. Two weeks later the cpu water cooler leaked and ruined the gpu. After fighting with them over replacing parts, they agreed to replace the cpu cooler and the gpu damaged by the leak. I went in and one employee came over and swapped out the cooler right in front of me with a Ryobe 12v drill. Dude just straight up went at it. He didn't even replace the thermal compound. I at the time had no idea what I was watching. I literally was still playing games on my xbox 360 at the time and just didn't realize what I was witnessing. Ever since I gained enough experience with pcs to understand how terrible they are as a builder I have made a point to mention this. I have seen the inside of their "Wearhouse" and its more sweatshop than boutique pc builder.

The Kepler GT 710 2GB GDDR5 is actually faster than the trans-generational GT 440 bundled in this POS of computer, mainly due to a far faster core clock, more than double the shaders and far more recent architecture, Fermi GT 710s are obviously crappier than that paperweight GPU that was bundled with this thing. BTW, the 19W TDP of a GT 710 allows for some ridiculous overclocking potential, from it's slow core clock, 950-ish MHz, I got one of those up to 1,530MHz at 1.32V (The maximum the Kepler BIOS can request) upping the power draw to around 45-55W via BIOS modding, and I had to downclock the VRAM to reach such power headroom, with no performance penalty. It's actually not that far from a Kepler GT 730 GDDR5 on anything but power consumption, eating up almost twice as much power and generating around 1.5x times more heat.

I wrote a comment on the ad explaining how this is a scam and of course the seller blocked that comment from being shown. This stuff should be punishable by law, as it really is a scam.

Hell of it is. They could have still slapped old GPUs in and got significantly better results. The graphics card I'm using currently is from 2014, still runs most games I throw at it around 60FPS. It's limiting factor is memory size, a mere 2GB which just isn't enough to fit all the render targets for a modern game ramped up on settings but if the game offers scaling the back buffer you only really have to drop to 90% to ramp everything except shadow resolution. That's around the time when cards jumped from tens of execution units to hundreds and sometimes thousands in the low/mid range category. I have ran into some games that just wont run smoothly but out of all the random games I've played trying out the myriad of choices to find the handful I like, only two games have been so bad that I couldn't simply dial back to graphics settings that are nice but not a huge loss to drop. Mostly DXVK and better drivers have made those cards shine like they could have if we weren't burning through series so rapidly.

Shockingly it isn't actually a GT630 but rather a GT430, the number shown on the supposed "730"'s chip was GF108-300-A1 which is the same as a GT430, the GT630 actually has the number GF108-400-A1 so it's worse than you thought

Even though you told us the conclusion near the beginning, it's like seeing a car wreck: You know it's bad before you get there, but you still have the urge to slow down to see just how bad. Looking at the details and especially the timestamp at 12:10 , yes it was originally built by ibuypower, but sold by Oceanus Deals, who put incorrect information. If you read through the full product description at the top of the Amazon page, they do specify only 8GB of RAM and a 240 GB hard drive. However, it does gets scammy when incorrect information gets entered into the fields used for the product details and comparisons to make the computer appear better than it is, but that's more on the vendor/Amazon than ibuypower. And I bet a regular consumer trying to return the computer for not having the specs listed in the product details will get stuck in a loop: The vendor will claim they did put the real specs in the full description and it's Amazon's fault for the incorrect information, and Amazon will claim it's the vendor's fault for putting the wrong info in those fields. Yeah, we like to see you shit on a computer that's obviously bad, but you can also turn this video into a PSA about buyer beware purchasing anything on Amazon from a vendor other than the official brand store. In short, whenever buying on Amazon, read the ENTIRE page and don't just glance at product comparisons or product detail summaries. Look for any discrepancies between what the full description and the summary says. If they don't match up or some info looks weird, go somewhere else. Also, make sure when you're buying a specific brand of pre-built to do it from their official Amazon store instead of from a third-party vendor.

@@Jtzkb But it can be rather dishonest to imply all the errors and the pricing on the page are from ibuypower when it's the 3rd party vendor doing it. Again, I agree it's a shit system, but they could be clearer on exactly where it came from and who posted the info and specs.

@AurickLeru2 жыл бұрын
@@neilosadchy6265 Read what I said, and tell me where I'm defending the computer, the brand, or the reseller. I already said a couple times here and in other comments that the build is shit, and the brand already has a poor reputation. But if you're going to criticize a brand, make sure it's for something the brand actually did. GN calls it a scam and points out all the errors with the specs, but never explicitly states they bought it from a RESELLER. So shit on ibuypower for the useless build, but also shit on the reseller for the false and inconsistent information on the page and the pricing for what you get. If GN actually went a little further and actually talked about the scammy crap the RESELLER pulled, then it would be a good cautionary tale to read everything on the page, and if things are inconsistent, buy somewhere else. If you want a specific brand through Amazon, make sure you get it through their official store.

Unless you've already bought a pre built one then dont. I built my first PC 4yrs ago. At the time I knew absolutely nothing about them but I wanted a PC for gaming & was going to go pre build until I saw a KZbin clip about building your own & quickly realised the benefits far outweighed my perceived (but wrong) thoughts about the hassle involved. I found all the info I needed online. KZbin channels such as this where a god send. I'm not technically minded at all but it really wasnt that difficult. I spent 4 months saving cash & researching & when all the parts arrived I had it built in an afternoon. I was totally amazed that the first time I pressed the button it actually switched on & worked 😂😂 I'm just about to start building my second one, the final part I needed arrived the other day (The GPU, an RTX 3070ti). Its not only (imo) cheaper & all the individual parts are what you wanted but its a great sense of satisfaction, everytime you switch it on you can think 'I actually built that' (The novelty has worn off a bit for me now though 🤣) So just go for it mate. Try not to get too into it though as it can get VERY expensive. I've recently fallen down the custom mechanical keyboard building rabbit hole. I didn't even know it was 'a thing' but I built my first one a couple of months ago & im already planning my next one, once you start you'll never be able to afford to eat well again 🤣🤣 Good luck.

Just take some time to learn about which components to get. It's not that hard once you have the right components. I've built my first PC at 14 - if a 14 y/o can do it, most people can. Just free up some afternoon to build it and don't rush it. One thing is for sure: getting a good pre-built PC is way harder than building a good PC yourself, since there are just too many bad choices.
