Bang for the buck simply means good for the price So a bang for the buck pc would be something like this 2700x 32GB 3200Mhz Ram 1070 Ect A non bang for the buck would include a 2080ti as that crap is an overpriced gimmick at the moment Another example would be £300 for 32GB of ram as that is £100 more expensive than a comparable kit

[@megamixa]

@@azumag4432 You don't seem to understand what "bang for the buck" means. It doesn't mean cheap. It means the most value for the money spent. 1000 cans of corn for $5 is a great bang for your buck. 1 can of corn for 1 lobster for $5 is a bang for your buck. The 1000 cans of corn are worth more than the 1 lobster, but they're both a bang for your buck since you're maximizing your dollar to get what you want.

Hey Linus. Great video. I am rocking an Ebay build myself. It is OLD and i am already doing upgrade research/pricing. (Ebay Build Basics- i7 3770k, Asus P8Z77-V-LK, 32 GB 1866 Corsair Vengeance, GeForce Windforce 3GB 1060, DIYPC 3 RGB fan side glass case...plus more) ,While it can be a chance buying anything ONLINE let alone Ebay, I can say it is usually pretty straight forward sales. I even got factory warranty on a gforce 9 series once. Yea, my build is at end life cyce for upgrades, But still runs all modern games at meduim to high with 60 or more FPS. This beast of a build may be old, but ALIVE running strong, and still kicking. I too sell on ebay. I have for may years now with a seller rating of 98.7 % which is awesome considering how many sales I have logged (i will share the reasons for under 100% in my tips below-(section 2b).....Allow me to share some key....KEY shopping tips. 1. Set search results to show at 200 per page. Makes looking around ALOT easier. 2. ALWAYS CHECK - Price Low to High, Buy it Now, Free Shipping, US SELLER only ( YES, may pay more but A LOT faster shipping and EASIER returns if ever needed.) You should have parts within 2 to 5 days if done correctly. 2a. BEFORE YOU BUY look at estimated delivery date, if it shows 2 or more weeks from anywhere on U.S. soil....it is a scam from overseas that has grown 100 fold over the last few years now. An overseas seller will set a listing as U.S. seller, then toss on boat to cross ocean next day. 2b. BEFORE YOU BUY, look at sellers reputation. They can NOT DELETE bad reviews, only THE PERSON who wrote it can (even Ebay will not do it for a seller)...On Ebay the reviews never lie...BUT....if you see 20 great reviews, and one or 2 bad it is OK! Prolly bad hardware, box drops in shipping, or buyer that did not know exactly what to do before trying to build a PC. 3. If you see weird spelling in an item's description be wary of an overseas seller. 4. IF EVER IN DOUBT, UTILIZE THE MESSAGE SYSTEM!!!! Solid sellers will respond and answer ANY question(s) you have. I hope this helps someone out there. Good luck on the next Ebay build my fellow gamers. I hope to see you in a launch lobby soon.

Pro-tip: You can get better deals with barebone or motherboard, cpu, ram combos on ebay. >_> I spilled the beans.

[@Mavis847]

What do you mean by barebone?

[@kurtblack8]

@@Mavis847 Generally speaking, a barebones kit is a case and a few components (eg., motherboard, cpu, and power supply) but won't come with an hard drive or maybe memory. Its meant to get you a base so you can pick the components you would want to spend more on to upgrade anyway

[@rjsmith2007]

@@Mavis847 Barebone is a term that refers to a preselected mix of parts. Typically with some key parts not included (like a gpu). Barebones PC's typically include a case, motherboard and power supply - sometimes ram, sometimes a cpu.

EBay has a lot of storefronts for brick and mortar stores and the big tech websites too. I recently bought a motherboard and some case fans from ebay from retailers that had them priced higher on their own websites, even on black friday. I managed to save hundreds of dollars by shopping around, as opposed to my initial budget according to RRP. Ebay can be a great tool when you shop smart.

The 980ti has kept a high value because it's the last graphics card (excluding the Titan X Maxwell) to have a Analog out via DVI. A lot of retro enthusiasts who still use high end CRT monitors are still buying them.

[@C4CH3S]

The 1660ti has dvi outputs though. Mid end cards will probably still come with them.

[@samysnes]

@@C4CH3S yes but it's a digital dvi outup only aka dvi-d. Look up dvi-i vs dvi-d. The 4 extra pins on dvi-i carry the analog signal.

[@AlexTheStampede]

samysnes meh. Around here you buy the latest generation of graphics card because they fucking never drop ;_; I tried to put togheter a similar setup and the 1070 ti is (the cheapest one!) 400 euro. Now, the 1660 ti is only 290, and that's great value because... it's the same price as the 1060. I hate shopping for video cards.

Minus case cost (coolermaster cosmos that I was given back in high school), my 4tb worth of ssd storage (left over mixed lots in raid), and 1000w gold evga (left over) Current living room pc (not personal): I paid $110x2 for my Sapphire Fury oc+ (just sold today actually for $230 on marketplace after over a year of use lol), $165 for my Asus Maximus VII hero and 4790-non-k (oc'd to 4.2ghz stable bclk) board combo, $62 for my Patriot 16gb 1600mhz ram (oc'd to 2400mhz copying the 2400mhz Patriot ram specs), and my h100i $40. So $487 for a build that Iv been using for 4k 60hz and still able to resell the parts for more now than I paid for them used before lol. Ebay/marketplace/craigslist arent all bad. Better than a loss of $500+ per part after initial resale. The ram was the only thing I purchased new on amazon due to the fact it was a steal compared to competitors, and its actually not bad oc'd, honestly though beyond 1600mhz I notice no difference even between ddr4. First build: raidmax agusta, custom loop coolermaster aquagate liquid kit with a drive bay reservoir lol!, evga 1000w, r9-270x, qx9650 intel, asus pb5? deluxe mobo if memory serves, 1200mhz 16gb ddr2 (always had problems with it and WAY over priced at the time), and a 3tb 7200rpm HDD XD with a 64gb SSD XD (oh ya built for speed lmao) First rig was bought mostly new fresh out of high school, a few parts later upgraded to the initial build i listed^ and resale on it I made maybe 1/3rd at most of cost back (sold for $500 in 2015, cost was well over $1500 building) Ill always choose used since 2015 because if you take care of your hardware, buy from people who take care of their hardware, and dont buy junk (used drives with over 20K operating hours lol) you will be a happy enough camper to game reasonably priced and make most of your profit back in resale.
