9:00 "The Greatest Technician That's Ever Lived"
Seriously, good video man, thank you for encouraging people to price things fairly on eBay. It's honest people like you that break the cycles of inflated scalper prices. I'm pressing all the thumbs.

Small eBay tip for checking pricing trends: if you select "Advanced" to the right of the search bar, you can select "Completed Items" and it will show you all the expired/sold listings for a particular item. That way, you can see the selling/pricing history to get a better idea of an item's actual sold worth. The rtx 3060 is selling for around $200-230, depending on the size (believe it or not, the smaller ones tend to be more expensive, because that's what people use to upgrade SFF and other weird proprietary OEM builds), so that 3060 would have definitely sold immediately.
Edit: Also note when selling on eBay, eBay takes about 10% off your selling price, so your actual net sales would've been closer to $265. Still, $130 for double performance is a damn good deal.

I love that someone is showing how it is possible to cobble together a decent gaming computer on a budget, but something you might have overlooked is Ebay's fees. Just because you listed the parts for what you did does not mean you will end up with that in hand at the end. I usually subtract 20% for a ballpark of how much you might end up with.

I think this is a great series because it helps demonstrate the value of older components. It also encourages problem solving and reducing e waste. You donβt need all the newest components to play games or run a PC. Showing the benchmarking is good too, because it demonstrates performance improvements, which validates the choices made.

JayZ, this panel you took out on 10:45 to install 120mm fan has removable square plates, just remove them and you will have a specialized bracket for 120mm fan, because it is what it for.

I think you should absolutely do more of these. I think it's interesting to see these upgrade pathways played out with tangible, tested results and a realistic take on how much it would cost. For most people trying to upgrade their system it's a hot mess of options and variables out there. It's hard to know what a person should even try to upgrade given the janky disparity between hardware generations.

These office/OEM PC builds are one of my favorites. Upgrading old(er) systems into more appropriate gaming machines is so satisfying to watch
