How to Make Your Computer Faster - The $255 i7 & GTX 1050 Ti Gaming PC

[@SlowDelSol]

My University's surplus store sells these without a HDD for $53 USD. I used to buy them, clean them, change the thermal paste, add a cheap used 250 gb WD blue, install windows, and do the Windows 10 optimizations from your video. Then I would sell them for about $150-200 USD. I flipped like 15 before I got bored of doing it. Most of my buyers were pc gamers who were going to add 1050 Tis. In case anyone was looking to upgrade these HP 8200, 8300 or 800 G1 computers with something like a 1060 6GB the mobo has proprietary psu connections but I used a psu adapter with these three models. The PSU is non standard atx so if you upgrade the psu you'll ether need to drill new holes in the case or do some other modification to get it to stay, or just lay it flat or upside down. Look in the review section, where I detailed the simple modification you will need to do the cable for it to work with these systems. Cable: amzn.to/2hkdl5a

[@zSWiFTz]

Great job, Bryan. Similar to the video you released months ago. Which I still reference till this day! Cheers.

[@philscomputerlab]

The GTX 1050 are great cards, flying under the radar of the crypto miners :D

[@myriadcorp]

They don't mine worth a crap. That's why crypto miners ignore them.

[@Seatux]

Only ok if a local distributor is selling Gigabyte OC cards at GT1030 prices. Was only limited to 5 units and some 1.5 hours of wait, but man GTX1050OC 2GB for GT1030 money is nice. The Radeon RXs are finally coming back down in price, so they are back in contention now?

[@bennybouken]

myriadcorp NVIDIA dont mine well even the HD 7770 have more hashrate than this

In my country 1050ti has increased 60$ due to high demand...

[@biro1280]

yeah then i come in a store and see a mining rig with 10 1050 ti's being sold so much for being under the radar*

[@pas3pas365]

This is exactly what I'm working on currently. I bought an Optiplex 790 with an i7 2600, 4GB ram, 500GB drive and Windows 7 Pro COA off of ebay for $137. I've already got a EVGA 600B psu and an extra 4GB of ram from a previous build to go in it. Now I'm waiting for Cyber Monday to see if I can grab a GTX 1060 6GB for a good deal! After buying the 790 off ebay though I found an Optiplex 9010 with the same specs except it has an i7 3770 for $95 on my local Craigslist. Oh well.

[@pas3pas365]

I understand they're expensive right now, however I'm in no hurry so I'm waiting for a good deal to come around. The other thing I have to consider is the placement of the SATA ports on the Optiplex boards restricts me from getting a longer card like a 970. You got a great deal on those parts! I picked up a MSI 960 4GB card for $125 several months ago, so your 970 deal was pretty sweet.

[@pas3pas365]

I agree on the Optiplex prebuilts! I ran into problems putting in a GTX 660 reference card before. Even tried using a right angle sata connector to no avail. It could be solved by cutting the plastic shroud on the cooler of the 660 but didn't want to go that route. I'll definitely take a look a hardware swap! Thanks for the tip!

[@epichunter115]

Neck what are you talking about the 3gb variant is around 200, thats the normal pricing

[@MTNDEWGANG]

I just got a r9 fury for $260. I'm pretty happy about it.

[@abdulwasay4514]

@Neck I have an i5 2400 and gtx 960 , Im buying a gtx 1050ti 4gb , would u recommend to switch to i7 2600 too or is it gonna be fine cz my optiplex 790 is 2 years old now ? Would sandybridge Q65 go with i7 2600?

[@JosueLopez-un5zt]

I've been playing on basically one of these since 2018 and it's been a work horse ! I bought it off my buddy who upgraded his whole build , it was originally an HP Joshua MB , 1050ti, 8gb Corsair , 4 gb business ram, i5,... I switched out the i5 for an i7 2700k sandy bridge and it's a beast next thing is upgrading the MB ,case and Ram

[@IceBergs]

I have helped so many of my former console buddies do this exact thing. They have always tried to tell me how expensive PC is (I still play consoles daily because I love GAMING) All I need is a Skype/Discord Call and 250-300 bucks and your set. (I actually have friends running these rigs today)

[@TheLTGamer]

That is pretty much my system and thanks for the overclock dude it improved everything more!

[@TheLTGamer]

Also i can't up the voltage is that a problem? *EDIT* I fixed it

[@tendenzafashion]

(good pc for good price) I am using a patato pc dual core no gpu

[@KuntalGhosh]

how are you getting anything ojnthe screen with no gpu? you mean you don't have graphics card

[@perinuclearhalo5945]

I love the fact that you do actual budget builds that allow people to get into pc gaming that might otherwise think it is to expensive. I wish I had found this channel before I built my pc. I love it but with your videos I could have spent a lot less than the 3k I did. Keep up the good work!

[@bennybouken]

He just slammed the system on the table :0

[@xyz2theb]

thats what you call tough love.lol

Its a hp elite it could take you throwing it down the stairs

[@ronin_boogz]

waking up the cores and hertz for more fps

Lol I feel asleep during your video lol that banging sound scared the crap out of me

[@claysupreme]

Bryan that intro is on point. Love it man!!!!

[@jhettrix1543]

This is true art...

[@Gearheadlights]

Just built a pc with an i5 2400 and a gtx 750ti (+ 8gigs of ram of course) for 160€ which is around 186usd. Later I sold it to my friend for 315€ or 367usd. We were both happy with the deal lol. Where did I get my bargain hunting skills? From this channel ;)

[@flighted2513]

nice friend you are

[@jakegarrett8109]

In the US, its pretty easy. $80 for an i5 2400 build, and about $150 for a GTX 970 or $190 for a GTX 1060, and a PSU on Newegg for $20-$30. My friend bought a PS4 (not the PS4k, the regular one) for $250 because he said he couldn't afford a gaming PC. That day I checked, and for $250 I could get a new CX-600w PSU, the 970, and the i5 build (only 6gb of ram though). I showed him that and was like, crap.... Yeah, now he has to pay that console subscription garbage, and we all know Steam sales will pay for that computer if you buy a bunch of games.

[@jakegarrett8109]

I felt sorry for him. I was happy to build it for free and tune it, but he already spent the money on the PS4 and couldn't take it back. So always look around and don't assume something is a great deal even if its on a major sale.

[@formyfutureself4]

Can u help me build one please 626 941 7620

[@UltraProbe]

Hey guys .. Is this setup worth 500 dollars? (USD) Zotac 1050ti OC (Then from factory OC I got around 100+ OC for both memory and the other thing) i7-4770 16GB ddr3 1600mHz RAM Windows 10 (64 bit) 2TB HDD from HITACHI

[@GigaSyntax]

How do I delete it Lmao

[@BrettBothamusic]

Brian. This video saved my PC. I have a GTX 1060 6GB, And only realized now after 6 months of use that my benchmarks were lower than your 1050ti in this video, I had the card in the PCIX8 Slot. Card is cruising now. Thanks so much

[@knowntheplaya]

Great video, I work with these type of computers at work all the time who knew you could get so much performance out of them. Also thanks for the info on how to tune pcs , I'm scared to overclock my pc but you make it seem so effortlessly

[@reznik572]

I just put picked up a Dell Precision T3000 workstation with the Xeon W3550 (3.06GHZ), 12GB ram and tossed in a use GTX 1050TI and SSD, couldn't be happier with the performance and well within budget.

[@TechiePocket1]

I just built a PC just like this last week and I am working on making a video about it! (i7-2600, 21GB 1333MHZ, GTX 1050 Ti)

[@BigPaco213]

Hi I just delid-ed my 6600k and now it runs at 55C at 4.8Ghz (under full load) (: just proud of my accomplishment.

[@KRKATANAKID]

Nice! I'm running an old enough hex core Xeon that Intel had not yet started using shit thermal paste on their IHS. With a cheap 10 dollar heat sink I'm hitting 4.3 GHz. Need to find myself a better cooler

[@Jtw0912]

I'm getting a 8600k and I'm not sure if I want to do that or just get a big beefy cooler. It looks simple enough but it seems like the liquid metal is a pain in the ass hand has to be changed pretty often.

[@jakegarrett8109]

Well you can either buy my $1800 sub zero cooler, or you can delid it. The choice is yours, choose wisely...

[@KRKATANAKID]

That was a pretty extreme exaggeration....

[@jakegarrett8109]

I guess. I get a 60 to 75c improvement with phase (-35c loaded block temp to -55c no load), but deliding and getting a 20c improvement is a LOT cheaper! If you add in the "big beefy cooler", that may well give you another 30c difference, so we are comparing now 50c improvement with delid and big cooler, or 60-75c with a $1800 cooler. Is it that big of a difference? I'm thinking that's kind of close...

[@MrCMDRShep]

this is a really cool idea for a SUPER budget PC for people who may not have the standard 500 - 600 for a entry to mid level computer, personally i think you should test it with an overclockable Motherboard and that 1060 and show side by sides of how they differ when you use slightly better parts, more the memory speed but even if you could get your hands on a 2600K too! i love these kinds of builds. its fun to see what you can do with old parts mixed with new. everyone thinks you need to spend $1000 to get good preformance on a PC and end up sticking to Console. never have they been SO wrong :)

[@samawol4161]

You made me overclock my MSI Gaming X 1050ti to 9ghz on the memory and it was good for a bit then my whole screen artifacted haha, it's all good now though and this video helped me tune my 1050ti a bit better

[@quicogil4565]

I just got an i7 920, 12GB RAM, 1.5 TB HDD, GTX 1060 3GB system for 300 euros for my friend's birthday. Really satisfied with it

[@carlwells9504]

Loick! Saved as I'm gonna have to setup an old computer shortly

[@CmdrEmbryo]

Great vid Bryan. I am running a FX6300 OC'd to 4.1GHz (yes, I know...), but am still amazed how well it performs with modern titles. I managed to find a 980ti locally earlier this year on "Gamtree" for £200 and it certainly helps to prop my baked potato up somewhat, especially compared to the R9280 it replaced.

[@issaciams]

Love your shirt! Also very nice and informative video again.

[@ClashWithSwap]

Can you make a video explaining the best custom game settings you use for high FPS in the budget builds?

[@totallyjerd1751]

I have found that a mixture of medium-high settings gives the best visual quality, without sacrificing much fps.

[@ClashWithSwap]

TotallyJerd Yeah, I want to know the details like what shadows which ambient occlusion anti aliasing etc. provide the best FPS without sacrificing much visual quality.

[@issaciams]

Clash With Swap just use fraps or another osd that shows fps and mess with the settings and see what works best for what you want. Start with medium preset or something like that and work from there. Any anti aliasing will decrease performance a good deal. Good luck.

[@biro1280]

the best thing to do is to play around with the system yourself try different settings just play around a bit thats what i do remember the higher the graphics settings the more stress you put on the GPU the more you lower the settings the more stress you put on the CPU so u try to mix it up a bit depends what gpu and cpu u also have

[@jasonandrews7355]

That would be great

[@honestrunescaper]

[@aidinmclaurin9867]

I got a Dell T3500 workstation (Xeon W3565, 24GB RAM, 525W PSU, Quadro 4000) for 140$, sold the Quadro 4000 it had for 140$, and bought a 190$ EVGA SC 1060 3GB. For 80$ on AliExpress I got an X5690 6-core much better Xeon which is coming in the mail and will make this desktop 280$. I picked up a Dell P2212H monitor for 40$ as well. Living near Seattle has its perks.

[@olbrzym11]

Mothers be aware! On this PC sata power connectors comes straight form the motherboard and are not suitable for very high current draw. So there is possibility of damage to motherboard when using sata to PCI-e adapters with some power hungry gpu’s.

[@jonstechchannel]

I got my i7 2600 at a garage sale for $25 with 16gb of ram and an older Quadro GPU. I put the motherboard in a Cooler Master case and put a HD 6770 GPU in it. I actually have a video of the haul and case transfer on my channel.

[@GundamTech]

Thanks Bryan for awesome tips!

[@qwerty-fc9ix]

it is possible for you not to see a single thread pegged to 99% and still be cpu bottlenecked.The cpu usage includes time waiting for data from ram(its not just cpu occupancy).This is just the windows scheduler shifting the thread to other cores and afterburner not updating fast enough.If you want to see usage properly you need a software profiler like Vtune amplifier. Enjoyed the video!

[@Gripen90]

Low CPU usage in msi afterburner doesn't mean a game is unoptimized. Actaully you want a fairly low cpu usage in games because it means more cpu overhead ressources. If you get close to 90~100% cpu usage that means your cpu is maxing out and really hasn't much spare horsepower. AdoredTV latest video about core i5 makes good explaining of this. As for GPU usage that you want to be be near max because, the gpu doesn't handle the operating system and background ressources like a cpu does. The gpu should only concentrate of graphical displaying.

[@VSQL]

Really good pc. A SSD big enough for some specific games can be a huge plus though. It speeds up loading times and improves performances in open world games.

[@thebosniangaming4425]

It’s almost winter for me so better overclocks

[@Honneylemz]

Hey the PUBG thing was actually because of a really weird optimization from the devs where when you put AA, Textures and View distance on very low, it puts more load on the CPU more than the GPU. Everything except for those 3 are fine to set to very low to get the most performance.

[@techyescity]

Oh thanks for this, I will give a it go and see.

[@Honneylemz]

The game is just un optimized overall so I'm pretty excited for the optimization that the xbox team found for this that they said is backwards compatible with the pc on

[@JuanGonzalez-hv6vs]

Finally, Brian has an OEM pc with both panels on testing the 1050 GPU to see if it actually can play games. Thank you for putting both panels on and test this OEM pc with the 1050 ti to show low-income people like myself that we can get into gaming pc without breaking our wallet. Yes, there are going to be a lot of people with cash in this channel who will bash people like me, hey more power to them for having the cash to spend, but not everyone is rich.

[@TechnoBabble]

Actually, if you set AIDA64 to ONLY stress the FPU and nothing else you'll get some pretty high unrealistic temps. Basically the highest from any stress test right now, near the level of early AVX stressing in Prime95

[@maxdaniels4326]

Amazing video as usual! I wondered TECH YES if you could help me. I'm only 15 and have been saving up to build my gaming PC for a while. I only had £300 so I couldn't build anything amazing, and didn't wanna go used as I'd never build a PC before. The specs I used are - Pentium G4400 @3.3GHz MSI GTX 1050 OC Asus h110m-D 4gb ddr4 1tb HDD 500w EVGA 80+ PSU Now this runs a lot of games very well, but I only have 4gb ram. I'm waiting till Black Friday to try pick up an extra 4gb stick since Rams so expensive as you know. What I wanted to ask was what would you upgrade in this build? ( apart from ram ofc ). Pentium is only a dual core with 2 threads and I know that's bottleneck, but what CPU should I upgrade to on this mobo? I believe I can flash the bios or something to support Kaby lake as well. I'll be upgrading within 8-9 months CPU, the pentiums just to get me bye. Thanks!

[@RedDyeGaming]

Anonymous maybe an i3 if you have money.

[@RollinsFN]

Anonymous I'm not Tech yes obviously but i thinl you should have gone with a G4560 instead of the G4400. I'm 15 too btw, i actually did what tech yes did and bought a Prebuilt and sticked a 1050 ti in it (i did it b4 this video came out obviously)

[@rafanders]

G4560 = i3 in games, 2 cores, 4 threads. Wait for Black Friday, it's a good option. You could get a PC offer with G4560 + GTX 1050 TI + B250 + ...

[@maxdaniels4326]

[@RedDyeGaming]

Anonymous maybe 7100, or wait for the 4 core i3s to support cheaper mobos

Depending on what games you play and how they perform, upload Linux (I mostly emulate, so it works perfectly for me).

[@gkato]

I always get really excited to see this videos then I remember I don't live in the US xD The cheapest similar i7 2600 I found here is $400 without any GPU. That being said, still a nice deal since other prices are high too. However, if you already have a case, storage or graphics card maybe will be better to go straight up to a new Pentium with a nice upgrade path for the same price.

Sup Bryan! I have a question and it might seem dumb but i'm really curious. Does overclocking memory on graphics cards help to boost FPS? I have a GTX 760 running at 1300mhz on the core but memory is stock on 6GHz effective. Keep it up with your work man, you're one of the best tech youtubers out there

[@Levy_Wilson]

Jesus, that GPU runs crazy cool.

[@Retrodan680]

the non overclockable i7 2600 can actually be over clocked. Mine is running at 4.2 GHz on all four cores. you really should look into this or even make a video on it there really isn't a lot out there on this.

[@oldpcmaniabg9125]

I make my gaming PC from same HP 8200 but my CPU is i5 2500...I just add more RAM(16GB, this is MAX for this MOBO) and ASUS GTX 750ti OC Edition, I hope will change my 750ti with one 1050ti soon. The problem on this MOBO(from HP 8200) you can't change PSU...you need use one specific 6pin+4pin, also have no USB 3.0, CPU soket is 1155 but you can't change CPU cooler with biger...the hole on MOBO is also specific.

[@sdr262]

I've got the same system but with a G1 Gaming GTX 1060 6GB instead and 12 GB of ram at 1600 Mhz. I can always get on High settings 75 FPS AAA games on my ultra-wide 2560x1080 with only a few exceptions like Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed type games which are closer to around 60 FPS. The card I picked up second hand but only 3 months old for AUD 250 from some insane drifting guy who likes to burn rubber and money on the gold coast. He likes to play 4K racing games using paddle and wheel so he upgraded and was very disappointed at the improvement of the GTX1080 at 4K over the G1 Gaming GTX 1060 6GB. I originally had 4GB ram and an AMD bulldozer which sucked but managed to pick up a Z type mobo with 8GB ram and an i7 2600k for AUD 180. FYI Computer Alliance at Mt Gravatt is currently selling LG ultra-wides for $299 on an e-mail deal, first time I've bought a monitor in almost 8 years! So happy with it now for $730 I've upgraded to something I love!

Could you do a video on overclocking locked CPU's? You can definitely do something to make them run faster, I just don't know what.

the old and legendary pin mod on cpus...

125% on p limit Pascal is pushing it? Whats the VRM heat getting too ? Over 90c is slow death yep ram oc's are a good boost people overlook i always get the next higher ram speed modules than base. So 1333 get 1600

A Unigine pass doesn't prove stability. You should run it through 3dmark and at least 30 minutes of heavy gaming before deciding that it's stable.

Great video

Awesome rig, I actually love the idea to go for low budget yet powerful systems. Is there any chance you can try VR with these low budget systems at some point too? I actually plan to building another small rig that friends could use when they visit me, also to play VR with another HMD I plan to pick up also.

I finally OC'd my GPU after watching this video :)

[@jakeenders7]

Never had much issue with screen tearing but holy shit that cod was driving me mad

[@dieterbletten2494]

When I hunt for second hand all-in-one builds, I usually look for ones that have quite good cpus. I just need to add a new gpu into it, but most of the time the PSU does not have the connectors and/or is too low in Watt

i love this channel

*Tip for newbies* If you using afterburner for first time dont mess with voltage... If you will put it too high you can do serious damage to your pc.

[@FatheredPuma81]

Kind of crazy some people still don't know how to optimize settings in games...

[@RetroAdventure]

That is a stupid good deal on a 1050!!

[@Golde2Good]

YOOOO that is exactly what I did, except with a 1080ti and a better psu

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

forget about the graphics card and sound card and go with a AMD FM2+ motherboard and a A10-7850k and 256GB of DDR3 RAM and your Hard-Drive and Light-Scribe Blu-Ray rewriter and put it in a LD PC-V10 case with integrated Phase Change Cooling system installing the APU per the instructions that come with the LD PC-V10 and that's it and your APU will be kept as COLD AS ICE.

I think that bottleneck you found in pubg might be same i experienced in one game on my 2500k. If that's the case, faster memory would not fix it, at least fully. I overclocked my 1600mhz ram to 2133 and there was still bottleneck where i had cpu and gpu power still left. But that was on different game, so not sure if it's same on pubg.
