For those in the UK looking for a GPU (inc. founders editions, or other gaming items like PS5), I am running a FREE stock alerter to give back to the gaming community 🙂

Feel free to join and hopefully I can help you get the gear you’re looking for !
the gt1030 costs as much as an APU like the 3200g, it’s more cost-effective to get an APU and then a GPU later or just wait until prices drop even more to be able to get one for a good price.
In my country there are people who are selling their used 1060 3gb and many other lower end gpus in the initial MSRP when it was released and saying that this is because of silicon shortage…wtf 😠
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you, subscribed 👍
Warzone won’t run in gt 1030
can u do 1100 dollar pc build?
Can u tell me the name of the case on the thumbnail with green rgb
But why ignore the 1060 (6gb)
I got a Ryzen 5 5600x on Amazon for £260

I built my pc in Jan of 202. I bought a RTX3060ti, It was 4.4k Hong Kong dollar. Last month my friend also wanted to build a pc, so we went to the place where i bought my parts from. The same 3060ti was selling for 8k HKD……..i almost had a heart attack seeing that XDDD. But somehow 3070 was 1k HKD lower than the 3060ti, so ofc she decided to get 3070.

It is possible if you don’t have that disease where you have to have more than you really need. You can still get a CPU, MB, RAM for cheap if you are willing to go with older hardware. You are looking at probably $200, not including the GPU or peripherals on eBay for a 4th gen i5 or i7. It would seem that 1050ti and R9 380 cards are trending at around $200 on eBay. So for $400, you could have a 1080p 60fps console killer that performs about like an Xbox Series S. In most cases, DDR3 will score just as high as DDR4 at 2933 MHz. Your drives will be just as fast and NVMe is supported. There will be no appreciable reduction in performance on most GPUs. 4th gen supports USB 3.0. I have tried a 1650 with a wide variety of setups and it will run just as well on 4th gen intel i5 as with a Ryzen 3 3200G.
I have a budget 1650 rig on eBay right now and it isn’t selling. So I don’t think there is any problem with availability of gaming PCs. People aren’t buying them even if they want them because everyone on YouTube has spent the past year telling people not to buy "overpriced" hardware. This will do nothing to correct market conditions. What people need to do is stop wanting the latest and greatest all the time because that too is driving the market conditions. The shortage was precipitated by overuse of resources to produce too many new products too often.
People need to wise up to the fact that $150 Ryzen 5 CPUs are never coming back. $170 1650s are never coming back. They can’t. It is unsustainable. Be grateful the price of other components hasn’t skyrocketed.
i just hit my nine month mark of trying to get a gpu, im genuinely getting depressed from this, and its been abt three years since i first found out abt building ur own pc, and i still dont have one
Boodget
Can u do 1500$ setup
Imagine sitting on a rx590 and a 2700x trying to upgrade for next year
Happy that i bought my r5 3600 for 160 instead of 210
Do a 800 budget build in your next video?
Sure its possible. You just need to add 400% to your budget. Easy stuff. Find some cash.. what, you can’t find cash laying around? Whaaaaa?!

A ryzen 3 3600 is £180 on curry’s pc world
My uncle used to build a few pcs and he has a few old parts like a gt 1050 and a ryzen 5 1600 and he’s gonna build me a pc I can’t wait
I found a 100 dollar 2080 ti yesterday lol. I’m not looking to build a pc, but i still find this interesting.
yo i just bought this specs pc for $150 : i5 7500 , 1060 3gb , 12gb ddr4, 250gb ssd , is it any good? (it was used almost for a year)
Yoo I would buy it from you bro I want to start my gaming career but it’s a lot of money I’m dead serious say for $500 please mate
Chill, chill. Not in Spain bro.
Do you think it can run gta? Please help I want to know before
Got a 2nd hand 1070 ti. Paired with my brand new i5-11400f. So far I’m satisfied. Paid $369 for the 1070ti. But a gpu is a gpu. From gt 730 to 1070 ti. I liked it. I could’ve save up for an rtx but I don’t see myself playing games with dlss or even rtx on. I mean I saw online an rtx 2060 selling for $473 and rtx 2060s for $517. It was tempting but I decided to let go anyways.
Theres no such thing as a budget pc anymore, its either a 3060 for $800 or a prebuilt with a 3060 that cost $1200.
Depending on the situation with the gpus I might or not build a gaming pc by November (birthday) if nothing change then I will buy a gaming laptop.
Hi i am just wondering what is the best pc for 600 pound
I had a lot of old consoles lying around from years ago and sold them for a decent amount to help afford a better gpu
perfect
Is there any way we can get in contact with you on social media
I got a a 9900k build vith everything included (yes 165hz monitor) but no gpu for 450. Crazy ass deal
Building a PC next week, I love watching your videos! Super informative and i’ve been watching them in anticipation lol.
I managed to build a system for 800 sgd before the gpu price hike it was a ryzen 3100 and gtx 1650 and it can run alot of games
i found an evga ftw 1080 for 300 usd
I have a question on some of your pc build vids some parts I can’t get from the store if I get a different brand will it have the same power
I managed to get a used 1660 super for 85$
Dude even gt 1030 is over 150$ now this is madness
If you’re planning on building a $500 PC then just buy a console 🤦🏻♂️
I do not care if the box is sealed in an iron case I will not buy a second hand/ resale part I won’t build a pc till it’s back at micro center
In India it’s easy to save money Building PC than buying Pre-Built PC
I didn’t have a problem with finding my cpu I have the ryzen 5 3600X and actually bought it for 200$
Yoo I wanted this video
I recently got a 3600 for 140 (used) and it works perfectly and I’m soon to get a rx 480 4gb for 200 dollars. Its gonna be a hell of a bottle neck but definitely better than my gt 710 lmao. Great video btw
