Why would you trow something like this away, eventho its a bit old, you could still sell it

[@TheRealNeoFrancois]

Dont belive that this was thrown away lol too good of everything

[@TheRealNeoFrancois]

@Augusto Pinochet I forget what this was even so I had to go back and wach it,but still it's pretty good tbh to me anyways, someone had put alot of money and time into this PC and it's still kinda hard in believing that this was thrown away anyways

[@TheRealNeoFrancois]

@Augusto Pinochet Let me geuss,you have some form of ryzen cpu dont you,because the *only* people who i know in the tech community that say that are the people who upgrade every few years,and beauty is in the eye of the beholder so yeah it can only play high end games at medium settings or low at 60 fps but its perfectly fine for video usage or inde games,or any form of game that isnt aaa release.

@@allroundgamer3541 where was it

[@candidosilva7755]

And not only so it was only top of the line components. My only find this year 2022 was a pentium g4650 8gb of ram ddr 4and a gtx 750ti 2gb and a kioxia ssd 256gb with a kolink 500w power suply. The case was prety busted but i had a sweet nzxt phantom from 2006 at my home it only cost changing the case once done that i dicided to keep it now i have 3 pcs.

Junkyards are great

lel his cpu liquid cooler fans were not turning on the radiator LOL

[@davidl4895]

would you ever do a giveaway? im sorry for asking i just cant afford one and ive been trying to work for one but this quarantine is so hard.

[@2528drevas]

If the pump was grinding I wouldn't run it too long.

[@MegaHayes]

It's honestly sad that people actually throw away systems like this rather than sell them, yeah the spec maybe aged a bit but it will still hold up to modern games reasonably well, some people would probably still love to have a PC like that (gotta think some people still use Core2Duo and Quads). Also, a proper 80+ 1000W PSU is generally expensive, even secondhand. If you'd have not saved it all those good working parts would be under a crusher somewhere.

[@karlplummer9386]

My best trash finds are old p4 computers this would trash any of my current computers but old is still gold in some cases.

[@thedungeondelver]

Honestly an i5 3rd gen just needs a solid air cooler.. I use a deepcool Gammax 400 with a second puller fan on the back, keeps my CPU at 40c under load.

[@daverees8644]

Your cpu fan controller header is shot, the fan ain't working, had same problem with mine.

[@lietus4192]

Pop an i7 and a gtx 950 and your set for 2021!

[@noOO000o]

Dang man your lucky as fuck did you have to pay for it or was it free?

[@sanchez4437]

How much is this?

[@ferret3284]

Depends on where you are located... Where I am (central australia) as parts the psu would fetch around $150AUD, the gpu $90-$120AUD (due to it being a high end varient), motherboard with the cpu/cooler/ram as a bundle, would guess roughly $280-$350AUD. As a complete system with HDD/SSD and in a case with proper panels on it they could try sell it for around $800/$1,200AUD. Prices for tech here is inflated due to there not being a lot of it here... Americans I speak to on discord are kinda gobsmacked about the prices here but part scarcity and people being greedy assholes leads to this shit. You can get some good scores as parts/punt on unknown systems but they are far and few between. Prices vary from country to country.

​@@ferret3284watch tech yes city. He's Australian and picks up some sweet deals. Even as an American I sometimes was a little surprised on the prices

[@ferret3284]

@@Dictatortot-n3d seen his videos before, prices are stable again. more so do computer stuff not much these days, just busy with work

[@travioli5118]

A gtx 680 is not high end it would be better just to put a newer gpu in it

[@sinshou1985]

the gtx 680 is pretty powerful.. it runs pretty much everything ofc not on ultra settings but still very good.. its even better than a 1050 ti .. think about it

i call bs... No way you found that at the junkyard

[@Dictatortot-n3d]

You'd be surprised dude. I haven't found anything that good but I've found my fair share of throwaway PCs. Nowhere near these specs. I did buy a mini PC for $65 and sold it for $500 once however
