[@hustensaftvernichter3785]

Your comment is extremely relatable for me. This might be off-topic on this channel, but I have that great uncle (Brother of my grandma, father's side) in his late 70's, who never really talks much to anybody, and even sits quietly on a chair in the corner of the dining room when he is the one who actually organized the family gathering. He is one of those sharp observers who sucks up knowledge like crazy but never brags about any of it. Sometimes, he would whip out one of his gardening books (He likely has hundreds of them...) and show you something that amazes him -A special, very rare type of flower, a tree, a painting he made of plants, or simply pictures of the cultures he created himself. He doesn't have children of his own, and so he is very fond of his nieces and nephews, who he always keeps a certain distance to. -Just like to everybody else. One day, I stumbled upon a website of a gardening center in Bavaria, where he lives, after googling the town he lives in. He regularly drives around 400 Kilometres to keep in touch with the family. That gardening center sells anemones with some really funny names, such as ''Samuel'', ''Philemon'', ''Amelia'', and other names that occur in my family, including those of my sisters. At first, I thought that's a funny coincidence, but then the website read ''Cultivated by Artur W.'' It was then that I realized that he has been cultivating anemones (Quite sightful ones, on top of that!) and named them after members of the family. I never told anybody about that and neither did he, but since I know that about him, I just admire him even more than before. He definitely is that ''coolest guy'' you're talking about.

@@RoamingnomadRN Aw man, I haven't looked at those in a while. But I know the most expensive part in it was the just released top of the line at the time 780 TI, which I had been saving up for for a year or two. It was an Asus motherboard, nothing special, and if I recall it has an i5 3670k CPU (or something like that). Some RAM (16gb maybe?), a beefy tower with red RGB, a beautiful brown Noctua fan for the CPU (still silent as a whisper), and a better power supply than I'll ever need. Filled it with two 500gb SSDs. One was Samsung and the other... another S-something. Threw a blu-ray reader/writer in a slot and called it a day. May update this eventually if I remember to actually look on my computer for the specs.

USB-3 powered port expander hub solves the port problem

[@wildbikerbill6530]

It's worse than that. If you connect a USB2 device to a USB3 port, frequently the entire hub switches over to USB2 mode, greatly diminishing the throughput for everything connected to that hub. While the backward compatibility is great, it's much better to keep USB3 devices+ports seperate from USB2 devices+ports.

Depends what you do with your computer. I have a 10 year old sandy bridge (32gb ram, 512 gb 3D SSD, 980 GTX) that I use as a thin client, basically web browsing and youtube and 1080p and 4k movies on a large 4k60 screen. It's perfect for what I need, because for work the data science work I do and compiling sometimes is all off in the cloud. However, I switched from gigabit cable to fiber internet and because I'm in a city center my ping time is 0.5ms to 1.5ms for most websites. Once I get roughly under 3ms ping times for web pages, I can start to see my cpu is becoming the bottleneck loading web pages, similar to if you were loading web pages on a LAN, ping and bandwidth stop being a concern. I've been dragging my feet updating. New cpus are not a whole lot faster for this particular task, so I'm thinking of waiting but I'm still on the fence. Usually I wait for next gen consoles to guide the way into what tech is future proofed, and right now it looks like ultra fast SSDs with a super quick bridge to the gpu, faster than pci-e possibly, so I'm wondering if ddr might be replaced in the coming years as well as pci-e.

When I got you new VR was a pipedream. When VR came out I knew I needed a new PC. A few years ago I got VR and you ran it. With overclocking the CPU and much tweaking, new compound and readjusting airflow you ran VR when you were way below minimum specs for what you would end up running. On the last day of use you still took my breath away in wonder. But you were burning out. There were graphical glitches reminiscent of the previous cards. CPU temps were on max limit on a regular basis. 100% CPU usage for hours on end and perfectly stable was admirable but taking a minimum of 15 minutes to load up and sometimes taking several on off attempts it was clear you were nearing your end. You did well. Others hated the 8120 chipset. Had heating problems with it, but yours... Air cooled, never more than 70c and stable. The harder I pushed you the more you revelled in the challenge.

All he had to do to get the ram to run faster was turn up the tRFC in the memory timings menu on the bios. On any p67, z68 or z77 motherboard. You should be able to run 2133-2400 MT/s (up to 2133 of a 2x00K series cpu). For some reason older motherboards don’t always adjust the tRFC for faster ram speeds when set to auto and you have to manually turn it up. I can almost guarantee his would have overclocked that ram no problem had the tRFC been increased. Hope this info finds someone encountering this issue. Increasing your ram from 1600 to 2133 or 2400 makes a huge difference. If your mother board doesn’t support high tRFC you can also use four sticks and rank interleaving should get you some improvement even at 1600.

Building a new PC is always good if you can afford it and I'll be building a new one here pretty soon but I took a lot of this advice to heart as well before then. I messed up a couple of years ago and didn't do any research before buying my current system. As a result I got stuck with a SFF PC with an I3-2100 processor, 16bg of ram (that part was actually good), my only storage being a 2TB HDD, and no GPU. Thankfully I didn't pay much for it but that was a hard lesson I had to learn, don't buy something just because you can afford it. But thanks to this video I decided to simply make some upgrades while I wait out being able to put together a new system. My current system now has an I7-2600 processor, a 500GB SSD along with the HDD, and a GTX 1050 ti along with the aforementioned 16 gb of ram. It's now a much better system and can at least perform competently compared to PCs from maybe 4-5 years ago. My new system is going to be much MUCH better than this of course but I now understand the value that small upgrades overtime can bring.

Way way overspending on the PC overhaul LTT, here's how to do it right: 1.Add one 8gb stick of the same brand to get 16gb dual channel or just keep the 8gb. 1600mhz is the DDR3 Jedec standard, 1866 is useless unless OC'ing the FSB also. 2. Not an RTX 2060, why are we pioneering ray-tracing? a 1650 super, 1660 super, RX 570 or RX 580. 3. Not 2gb 860 EVO. Just a 500gb anything or the 1tb 860 QVO is huge and cheap, both with DRAM cache. Re-install windows with the new SSD and use the 256gb as secondary storage. 4. Gigabit is plenty fast. Many offices still use Cat 5/100 meg hubs even today. 5. Wireless is an optional extra. 6. Yes add that USB3 hub, otherwise, 2.0 easily handles the mouse, keyboard, USB flash drive. 7. Check PSU capabiiltiy before selecting upgrades, it wasn't done in this video..

[@chrish6373]

This 100%! Faster spec doesn't mean better. The only reason I can see getting 1800 over 1600 is if it's cheaper (maybe?) to get a matched pair of DC. Here is my setup if anyone has any suggestions. I've tapped all bottlenecks without a new computer(except maybe more RAM): * i7 3770 (non-K) * 2X 4GB 1600mhz DC RAM * AsRock RX580 8G OC * OCZ Vertex 3 SSD with r/w's in the 500+ range * EVGA 650 Supernova so power isn't an issue

[@TanteEmmaaa]

This would be a much better video. You deserve more upvotes.

[@joeprestera2239]

They also didn't mention that the k version is overclockable. Mine is up to 5ghz and stable at the same temp as stock.

[@caphunterx2322]

I completely agree, but.... 2060 isn't a bad choiche. You don't need it for ray tracing but for DLSS2 which is enormously good and gives you alot of future proofing Edit: but if you can't afford it a 1660 supper is a cheap 1080p crusher

I'm still running an i7 4770 as I really didn't see the need to upgrade the CPU. Or rather I was until my motherboard (and front panel connectors) died. I'm still so convinced of it that I decided to order a used but tested MB and plan to put it all back together in a new case again.

[@shadowsayer1516]

CPUs have held up well. One of my rigs is a 3770k (OC'ed to 4.2GHz) paired with solid GPU (2070 Super). I game at 60-75 FPS at 1440p on medium/high settings on even the newest games. I also have a ancient (but legendary!) PT6 Deluxe board (2009) with a Xeon 5680 (6 cores @ 4.0 GHz) which is paired with an RX580 and does 1080p gaming very well.

[@eriktenhag2022]

Hey, I too have an OCed 3770K rig. I am always looking at new Ryzen launches and thinking "this is the one, I'll probably get it for a couple bucks less after 2-3 months". That "2-3 months" has been going on for years now.

[@lukoka6371]

Anthony: tells me not to spend my money also Anthony: recommends a GPU that cost more than my current PC me: *visible confusion*

[@paranoidrodent]

I followed the same logic with a similar rig only I tossed in a used RX570 (under 100 CAD - OC'ed up to RX580 numbers) and a basic wi-fi ac card (to give it network connectivity in my son's room). Happy 9 year old running every game he's into at 1080p at playable framerates.

[@XxHovercraftxX]

paranoidrodent i don’t understand why they always recommend the RTX Cards when they talk about value. RX 580‘s hold up perfectly fine on 1080p (i even play 1440p)

[@arnekristofferbhler3905]

@@XxHovercraftxX Maybe they're aiming for the 1080p 144hz range?

[@bradleysmith855]

Silas H sure they hold up, but for how much longer? The 580 is close to the end of its life, especially at 1440p. So something like a 1660 super or a 2060 (or 2060S) is better in the long run

I'm still running an Core I7-2600K @ 4.0 GHz, along with a RTX 2070, and it still has been able to run virtually every new game release to hit the shelves at 1080P_60, with high to ultra settings, depending on the game. I'm planning an upgrade when the AM5 Ryzen are released, but my current system still performs fairly well, considering it's 11 years old now.
