WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.240 In an unprecedented move from Sony, the PS5 family just got the biggest price 00:00:05.520 --> 00:00:14.400 increase that a console has ever seen. Yet another blow against affordable 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:16.400 gaming. But I think we can help. First, 00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.039 by shining a spotlight on the healthy market for secondhand PS5s. There are 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:26.080 tens of millions of these consoles out there now. And because of that, there 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:30.080 are deals to be had. Also, I believe that despite Sony's move, that may 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.079 remain true throughout the rest of this console generation. More on that later, 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:38.640 though, because second, there are hundreds of millions of PCs out there. 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.879 And with a little bit of scrapyard spirit, I think that even in the current 00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:48.640 climate, we can beat the performance of the PS5 at its new price. But there will 00:00:46.239 --> 00:00:53.520 be some obstacles. And the first is, of course, RAM. While I do believe that the 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:58.640 worst may be behind us, memory pricing remains high. thanks to the insatiable 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:03.840 needs of AI data centers. But what a lot of folks might not realize is that not 00:01:00.879 --> 00:01:09.760 all RAM has been affected equally. DDR4 is very much still in play, especially 00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:12.720 less desirable kits, and CPUs as 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:17.119 recently as just one platform ago can still support it. Which is why we're 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:22.640 starting our build with an Intel Core i5 12400F. Just $83 for this little fella. 00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:25.759 And like the rest of the deals that we're going to highlight, getting one 00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:29.360 for this price shouldn't be a major challenge anywhere with a healthy 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.880 marketplace community. This seems to be mainly for two reasons. One is that 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:39.119 Intel has lost a lot of their sex appeal for gamers over the last 5 years, which 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:44.000 has lowered demand on the secondary market for their chips. And the second 00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:49.119 is that in spite of the lower sex appeal, Intel quietly still kind of 00:01:46.720 --> 00:01:53.680 dominates the CPU market by volume. So, there are a lot of these things out 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:59.040 there with suppressed demand. Okay. Yeah, it has two fewer cores than an AMD 00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:03.600 price equivalent, or even the PS5 for that matter, but the 12400F's more 00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:08.560 modern architecture and maximum turbo speed of 4.4 GHz should more than even 00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:14.239 out the score. With that said, nothing in life is free and a little bit of that 00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:18.080 sweet sweet savings gets offset by the generally higher price for Intel 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.640 motherboards is what I would say if we were buying a new motherboard. But we're 00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:26.319 not. And while we're at it, I got another tech tip for you. Over the last 00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:34.480 few generations, budget chipset motherboards have quietly GONE FROM NO 00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:36.480 GOD NO GOD NO ALL THE WAY to oh yeah, 00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:41.200 those are kind of okay compromises. Like on this ASUS Prime H610M MATX 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:47.040 motherboard, it can be found for less than $50. And not only does it support 00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:51.519 our 12th gen CPU, it can even take a 14th gen upgrade down the line. Also, 00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:56.160 while it wasn't the case for a while, Intel's low-end chipsets even support 00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:01.440 XMPP now, so you can get the most out of nonJeck memory kits like this 3200 mega 00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:08.400 transfer per second 16 gig kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX that we got for 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:10.959 about $60. Now, that speed not actually 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.519 ideal for peak performance, but the huge jump in price for 3600 megat transfer 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:21.599 per second made this decision a pretty easy one. Just like it was easy to 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:24.319 finally tell you about our sponsor 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:30.319 tonight. He says his only message is that ODU has every app you need to run 00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:35.120 your business. Critics say shut up and 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:37.599 stop telling people that. Who's right? 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:41.440 I will be when I interview him later in this video. 00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:46.080 Global shipping costs are out of control, but we've got a way to FIGHT 00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:51.680 BACK. THAT'S RIGHT, Shiptorm has returned. From April 24th to May 7th, 00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:59.280 you can get free shipping sitewide on ltdstore.com of orders over $150 in the 00:03:55.040 --> 00:04:01.200 US and Canada or $225 worldwide. No 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:04.720 special code required. Just load up your cart and you're good to go. And if you 00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:08.959 want an even lower threshold for free shipping, you can sign up for our 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:14.319 supporter plus tier at flowplane.com for an even better offer. We'll have that 00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:19.120 linked down below. Aside from RAM, the other tough one right now is SSD prices. 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.759 And unfortunately, looking at kind of the timing of the RAM apocalypse and 00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:29.680 potential recovery, this one might take a bit longer to settle down. We had to 00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:32.000 pay about $100 for a one TBTE DRAM 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:36.080 cashless model that in my opinion isn't worth more than about 50. Thankfully, we 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.520 did find some outlier deals for quite a bit less than what we paid. So, if 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:44.240 you're patient, there are still bargains to be had. And worst case scenario, 00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:48.240 guys, storage is one of the easiest things to upgrade or expand down the 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:53.120 road thanks to, again, entry-level motherboards not being total dog 00:04:50.479 --> 00:04:58.160 anymore. Look at that, two M.2 slots. It is worth noting we could have saved a 00:04:54.960 --> 00:05:00.400 buck either by buying a SATA SSD or a 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:04.000 smaller SSD along with a larger hard drive. And if I was configuring the 00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:08.800 system for a friend, I would actually strongly consider that route. But if 00:05:06.479 --> 00:05:13.680 we're comparing to the PlayStation 5, a shortcut like that feels kind of unfair. 00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:19.840 What does feel fair is paying less than $10 for a case. Okay, sure it's a little 00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:25.039 battle worn and sure it's a thermal take with a few missing parts, but when the 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:29.919 comparison is the PS5, honestly, I think the Versus 17 comes out looking pretty 00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:35.199 good. Oh, sorry, Sony. And we pinched our pennies equally hard for our cooler, 00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:40.240 though, you might not have to. The 12400F does technically include one in 00:05:37.840 --> 00:05:44.080 the box. It's just that most of the ones that we saw secondhand didn't have the 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.639 box anymore. The good news though is these can be had for around five bucks. 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.759 And for not many more buckaroos, you can get a 500 W power supply like this 00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:58.240 Thermaltake Smart 500. It's not an amazing power supply, but it should get 00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:02.080 the job done. At least until it's time to build your PS6 killer for GTA 6. 00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:06.840 >> It's coming out this year. >> Yeah, sure. Let's get these installed. 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:29.440 We interrupt this chill montage to bring you one of the potential pitfalls of 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:34.880 buying secondhand hardware. It appears that the housing around the USB3 header 00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:39.360 on our motherboard is uh gone. The good news is the pins are all in there and 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:43.840 they're all straight and we would be able to tell which way this goes on 00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:47.840 without the key because one of these holes is supposed to be blocked. Except 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:53.440 whoever had this before must have plugged it in backwards and they pierced 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:57.680 the one that's supposed to be empty. So, I'm actually not sure. 00:06:54.960 --> 00:07:01.360 >> Here's a tech tip. Don't do that. Thanks, David. That's helpful. With all 00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:06.080 that done, it's time for the cherry on top, the GPU. Now, this was a tough one 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:12.479 to lock in because my initial thought was Intel B580 and we're done. But after 00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:18.160 crunching the numbers and looking at the very sparse availability of used Intel 00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:22.319 GPUs, I realized we could do better. We don't have to do better to match a PS5. 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:28.560 All we need is something in the neighborhood of an AMD 6600 XT. But as 00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:30.639 it turns out, GPUs are one area where 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:36.960 pricing has been on the mend for a little while now. And we can do better. 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.599 NVIDIA's 3000 series now sits in kind of 00:07:36.960 --> 00:07:43.520 a sweet spot. It's new enough to still support most of Team Green's most 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:47.680 appealing features, but old enough that most AI bros just plain aren't that 00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:54.400 interested in them, which is good for us because the RTX 3070 is a whole lot of 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.919 gaming goodness for just $215. 00:07:54.400 --> 00:08:00.160 With that in mind, then what is our total damage, David? $544, 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.599 which actually leaves us enough budget that we could get a Gamester Cyclone 2 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:07.039 that's brand new, which is one of my favorite controllers, or a used Dual 00:08:05.599 --> 00:08:14.000 Sense, which feels a little more appropriate considering we're going against a PS5. Let's game. Let's do uh 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:18.080 I'd never press the power button, but hey, uh that's what I love about 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:21.599 sometimes budget power supplies and motherboards. They just kind of you 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:25.440 provide power to them and they're like, I'm going, you know what? I'm going to 00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:30.400 go big picture, too, for the more consolelike experience. 00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:34.399 >> Okay, here we go. Dude, this looks freaking awesome. >> Yeah, I mean, both look really, really 00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:39.519 good. Go to where Ragnarok is a really nice looking game. >> Okay, I want to start kind of poking at 00:08:37.839 --> 00:08:42.959 fur. You know what? My fur is better. >> Yep. DLSS, baby. 00:08:40.959 --> 00:08:45.920 >> Ooh, this is some yucky flickering back here. >> Interesting. 00:08:44.560 --> 00:08:50.560 >> And that's probably one of the most distracting visual artifacts to me. 00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:55.519 >> Yep. don't know exactly what it is, but your HDR is a little more HDR. 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.959 >> It's because I get to configure it every time I display I connect to a new 00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:01.920 display. It gives me a little wizard and then I configure it and then I get the 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:07.440 most out of my display. >> Yeah. And to be clear, I can do that, 00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:11.600 but I was not at any stage prompted to do it. So, let's get out of this cut 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.240 scene and then I'm going to configure it and see if I can close that gap a little 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.880 bit. >> Just the way it's reflecting off of the 00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:21.360 metal on his shoulders. Yeah, that looks way more washed out than mine. 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.880 >> Yeah, >> slightly. Oh, you're having some flickering in the background, too. Oh, 00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:29.040 it's gone now. >> I think that's the wind. >> No, there was like a light. 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:33.519 >> Oh, I caught something there. >> Yeah, that. So, there's a weird I think 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:38.959 LOD thing where we're pushing the VRAM so hard. We got 8 gigs of VRAM. We're at 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.360 7.49 that there's a certain distance 00:09:38.959 --> 00:09:44.399 that it has trouble with the textures. Interesting. >> So, we could probably switch uh one of 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.959 our settings. >> Yeah, >> but that's PC gaming for you. You got to do a little bit of tweaking. get the 00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:52.320 most out of it. >> Ultra screen calibration. Let's go. 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:56.480 >> Let's go. >> Enable HDR. Oh, I don't even have it on. 00:09:54.800 --> 00:09:59.279 >> Well, there's the problem. Now I've got HDR on. This should be better. That 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:05.360 still looks way better. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. No question. >> Windows HDR. Man, I figure it out. 00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:10.959 >> HDR display calibration. Here we go. Get I have to download it. Ah, 00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:16.000 it's not as good still. It's quite a bit better. >> Yeah, >> my performance is dropping a little bit 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:20.079 more in these more complex environments. You're still pretty much above 60 other 00:10:18.640 --> 00:10:24.640 than a few drops. >> Yep. >> And with VRR, it's like this would be 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.600 acceptable game performance for me. >> Absolutely. No question. Let's try 00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:32.240 another game. >> We'll do Returnal. >> Yeah, let's let's do Returnal. 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:36.000 >> Does this game support HDR? >> Yep. >> On PC? 00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:39.920 >> Oh, I don't know. I think it does, but I'm We'll have to double check. That's 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:45.279 something to watch out for is even if the HDR experience is perfect on PC, not 00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:49.519 all games that support HDR on a console necessarily support it on PC. 00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:52.519 >> Wow, yours looks so much better. Holy crap. 00:10:52.640 --> 00:10:59.279 >> Wa! Holy sniky. >> Yeah, this is not close, brother. 00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:02.399 >> Not close. Smackdown. Holy crap. >> Are you running at a 60 or a 30 FPS? 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:09.120 >> This is a 60. At 60. >> At 60. Cuz I'm definitely falling well 00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:11.440 below 60. Uh graphics. Okay. So, oh man, 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:15.839 I'm I'm still at quality assess too. Yes, >> I bet you'll still be sharper than this. 00:11:13.839 --> 00:11:17.920 >> I'm getting really big FPS dips, though. Look at that stutter. 00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:24.720 >> Huh. >> Hold on a second here. >> Hold on. >> So, I'm down to medium now. And I 00:11:23.040 --> 00:11:26.720 definitely am still sharper. 00:11:26.160 --> 00:11:32.079 >> Yeah, >> but it doesn't look like super betterer 00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:36.079 anymore in my opinion. But now I'm actually in more complex environments 00:11:33.839 --> 00:11:39.200 and still maintaining like a solid very playable FPS. 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.200 >> Even then it isn't 60 though. >> No, you're dropping down to around 40. 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.839 >> Yeah, my HDR looks really good. >> Yeah, that I I think your HDR actually 00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:50.959 looks better than mine right now. >> With that said, you wouldn't normally be sitting this close. 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.920 >> No, if I was all the way back there, I think this would none of this would be 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.480 an issue. But that's the point of pixel peeping is to get in here and really 00:11:55.680 --> 00:11:59.760 judge it. >> Okay, let's do our next one. >> Let's do it. Let's start the game at the 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:04.640 same time. >> Yeah. Uh, Death Stranding. >> Death. >> 3 2 1. 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.600 >> Oh crap. >> That's okay. I'm like a fraction of a 00:12:07.040 --> 00:12:12.600 second behind. >> You're going to end up probably 30 seconds behind me. 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:19.920 Oh, don't continue. 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:24.000 >> I mean, >> it wasn't that way. That was really 00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:27.519 close. >> My performance is not 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:33.600 >> Let's uh dial you in a little bit. >> Can you uh pan a bit? I mean, that's not 00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:36.800 60 FPS either. I'm going to go medium. I'm going to turn off motion blur. 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:40.480 >> I cannot turn off motion blur because this is a console game and that's just 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:44.959 not a thing. Are we going full speed pan? 00:12:42.880 --> 00:12:51.440 >> I think I'm above you now. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You've got motion blur to kind of 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:52.560 mask it, but I at medium am now above 60 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:58.720 FPS even in my image. >> Once again, noticeably sharper on the PS5. >> You know what though? Hold on a second. 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.279 I think I like the way the PS5 is handling level of detail better. 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:08.720 >> Oh, >> look at this. >> Oh, yeah. Huh. 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:10.000 >> So, very near. I think I'm on par. 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:15.120 >> Yep. >> In the distance. I think I've had to I 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:17.760 think I've had to cut too much. >> Let me have a look. Maybe that's 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:22.000 something I can tune though. >> Okay, here. Can we just go to the top of here? Right where you are. I want to see 00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:25.600 the terrain quality again. Can you turn back this way? Yeah. >> Okay, we're close now. 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:30.720 >> We're close. I think I'm basically on par now. Okay. What about our main character? Oh, mine's better. 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:36.000 >> Oh, substantially. Look at that hair. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Would you say that we've killed 00:13:32.880 --> 00:13:38.079 the PS5? 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:42.959 >> At the new price, I think there's an argument to be made that we did. 00:13:39.839 --> 00:13:46.079 >> We got equal or in some cases even more 00:13:42.959 --> 00:13:48.560 performance for less. But Mark Cerny 00:13:46.079 --> 00:13:53.600 would surely point out again that secondhand hardware is a pretty big 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:59.519 advantage. And as we pointed out earlier, secondhand PS5s and even brand 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.920 new PS5s are not selling at that new 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:04.720 retail price, which kind of raises an interesting question. Is this a real 00:14:03.760 --> 00:14:09.519 price increase? >> I think it's hard to know until we've done a full year cycle, but I could 00:14:08.079 --> 00:14:13.600 imagine that they're raising the price so that they can do big discounts and 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:17.839 get people to rush out and buy PS5s for games when they want them to. But it 00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:21.839 might also be something else. My theory too is that they could be testing the 00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:25.440 market, doing what you're talking about, going, "Okay, here's our MSRP, but 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:28.800 here's our discount for the holiday," >> and then using that to take the 00:14:26.959 --> 00:14:35.600 temperature of the market to maybe establish what will be the non-disounted 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:37.600 new MSRP of the PS6. That way, no one 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:41.760 will be talking about it during the launch that the price went up, and then 00:14:39.760 --> 00:14:45.040 they can continue to sell PS5s at a normal price. Are they playing 4D chess? 00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:50.399 Uh, >> it's hard to know. I think part of the challenge is they don't really know 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:55.920 either because they've probably booked the fab time for the PS5 or PS6's SoC. 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:59.279 So, they need to get it out at a certain time, but they don't want to get it out 00:14:57.760 --> 00:15:03.279 at that time anymore because the RAM is so expensive. The SSDs are so expensive. 00:15:01.199 --> 00:15:07.760 So, I don't think they are sure what they're going to do. >> All right, changing gears. Do you think 00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:11.040 we could have gone DDR5? >> If we kept mostly the same system, but 00:15:09.760 --> 00:15:15.920 just changed the motherboard to one that does DDR5 and the RAM to DDR5, it adds 00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:19.680 about 150 bucks. That's too much. >> It breaks the budget. You could 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:23.360 downgrade your CPU, but then it's just a different system. It's not as good. I 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:31.440 think this is the better option right now. >> At least 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:34.160 DDR5 has maybe started to start to come 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:37.120 down. So maybe in another 6 months, 12 months, we'll be having a totally 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:40.160 different conversation, but for now, this is pretty good. What about some of 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:44.720 the other aspects of PC versus PlayStation 5? I know that this is sort 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:49.519 of a passionate conversation topic for you, but people often talk about how 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:52.880 game pricing is so much better on PC thanks to Steam summer sales, but you 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.560 often bring up, okay, well, when was the last time that you paid full MSRP for a 00:15:55.040 --> 00:16:01.199 game on the PlayStation store? >> Yeah, there's pretty similar sales for 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:04.399 pretty similar games on PlayStation. I think there's kind of a threshold that 00:16:02.800 --> 00:16:09.120 we've kind of figured out to go for the sales to get those games that are 3 to 00:16:06.560 --> 00:16:12.880 four years old sold. I do worry right now about the Sony ecosystem because 00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:15.120 they had on their investor call. They know that they're going to have trouble 00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:21.040 getting more audience. So, they're going to try and extract more out of their current audience. So, what does that 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:25.279 mean? Higher game prices, new hardware. I don't know. But I don't like that. 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:28.959 >> Locking exclusives back down again. That's a big thing, too, is it was a 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.240 really nice couple of years that it was almost a sure bet that Sony games were 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:35.920 going to come on PC, but they've said that they don't want to do that because 00:16:33.839 --> 00:16:41.360 they know that that's how they sell more PS5 hardware is they make exclusives 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:46.320 >> or they make great value hardware even at the new price. I hate to say this, 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:50.079 it's still really competitive. >> And if you're willing to buy used or 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:55.839 open box, you can get really good deals. I literally bought a PS5, the 30th 00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:58.000 anniversary one for uh $380 00:16:55.839 --> 00:17:02.959 US. So, it's a special edition, open box, and it's still out there. You just 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:04.240 got to look. Or not. I mean, there's a 00:17:02.959 --> 00:17:09.039 lot of good news here today. And I'm glad to report that building a sweet 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:13.199 budget PC rig is still possible if you channel a little bit of your inner 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:17.679 scrapyard warrior. Even if that means you won't have the latest and greatest 00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:21.360 and flashiest features, this system is a great reminder that there are tens of 00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:26.559 thousands of games out there that we can enjoy without buying into the latest 00:17:23.520 --> 00:17:28.400 hype and a good reminder that games were 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:32.400 good before generationally locked optimization and they will be after as 00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:34.400 well. Personally, I'm really looking forward to Alabaster John from Radical 00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:38.960 Fish >> and I'm really excited about the new Castlevania game. Yeah, I don't think 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.799 we're going to need anything more than this PC or a secondhand PlayStation 5 in 00:17:41.919 --> 00:17:48.000 order to enjoy those. >> Exactly. Right. >> You know what else I'm looking forward to? >> Telling these fine folks about our 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:51.360 >> Yeah. So, that's my guy. He starts every one of my videos with a tech tip. 00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:54.240 >> Fascinating. Just a little tip. >> Just a little tip. It warms people up 00:17:53.120 --> 00:17:58.799 for my message. >> Right. Which is >> that ODO's got every app you need to run 00:17:57.360 --> 00:18:04.080 your business in one userfriendly and customizable platform. >> And that's good news for everyone. 00:18:01.520 --> 00:18:10.240 >> Mhm. Mhm. But not everyone. >> Mhm. Mhm. Well, the uh business app 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.919 council would disagree. No. Who? The 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:16.640 group that wants you to pay for a bunch of different app subscriptions instead. 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:22.160 They often chase after and try to stop you. I believe they did actually catch 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.840 you at one point. Oh, those guys. Oh, 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.960 yeah. No, that's just like a fun game we play. I think they are trying to hurt 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:32.760 you. >> Nah, we're buddies. There he is. >> I think they want to play right now. 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:40.160 do is the allin-one solution for your 00:18:37.679 --> 00:18:44.640 business issues cuz it's got all the apps you'll need. Now we're talking 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:49.200 invoicing, inventory, CRM, and every other thing. And this link is for free 00:18:46.320 --> 00:18:52.679 15 trial. It's so much fun playing with my friends. 00:18:54.720 --> 00:19:02.880 If you guys enjoyed this video, you might like other videos where we build PCs for a fixed budget. Why not check 00:18:59.520 --> 00:19:04.640 out our recent $1,000 build? Sadly, it's 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:10.559 not as much performance as we should be getting. Thank you, Sam Alman. But it's 00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:10.559 still not a bad little rig.
