Let me know below in comments your system specs.
ugh got a decent pc but the rub is this c drive thats 128 gb i dont know how ill upgrade to 1tb do a video on that you will get hits galore
migrating your stuff to it
its pain when i do installs
othe rthen that im good for a year saving for new system
UPGRADE IS MY OPINION
i5 6 core intel, 1660 super , 16 gb ddr4 128 gb c ssd drive and 1 tb d drive(reg)
used for unreal 4 cinematics and gaming DOES GAMES GREAT , its doable for unreal 4 BUT i need more space on that c drive( sata) thisbox can do one ssd and has 3 sata drives
idea is main for doing and satas for storage like a vault
im saving up for next system for amd ryzen 7 and maybe a newer 7000 series card when they come
@@Forgiveyourenemies are yo gamer or dev
it really is two ways for both
like i do i have main drive ssd for where programs are and sata storage for stull like shaders and vaults
gamers prolly want all ssd and put games on ssds for speed
@@Forgiveyourenemies also devs will want ram and cpu vs worry bought top end grpahics cards where you want vram vs features
for game play
No, there's no need to upgrade. Only upgrade when the PC dies. 1440p and 4k gaming is the limit. Anything over 4k gaming you have no choice but to upscale it because no card can render 8k. Upscaling is only option if you wanna game in 8k. My favorite apps combined. (Integer Scaler to upscale games to 4k) and (Lossless Scaling) to add sharpness on the games. 1440p and 4k is every card limit.
Thanks for sharing your point of view
I'm looking forward to you updating your earlier series on small -medium -big systems using both Intel & AMD processors. It was great and another refreshment would be GREAT .... especially for those of us that have trouble keeping up with all the changes and trying to match components (ie: processors to motherboards) to their respective systems.
God bless you. Love your videos m'man.
I have a i7-3770k, 16GB gaming ram 1600, gtx 660oc, ssd.... It is still working well even in gaming like Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier, COD Black Ops 3... I do photo editing... all I have had to do is replace the ssd a few times, due to Load Shedding, but this pc still kicks ass, and it is not overclocked.
A 3770K is a good cpu.
You are so correct.The push to always buy the latest and greatest is insane. With All the turnover of products it's hard to keep up.
So true!
@@Britec09 i have one pc a pentium 4 still working its hd finnnnnally starting making weird noise i backed it up, great for retro gaming
Thanks for the info. Your videos are worth watching.
Probably take a look at maxing out the RAM(or 16GB minimum), and swap out a hdd for an ssd. Even a low end sata ssd for booting is way better. And sata drives are getting affordable.
Now to the expensive parts
a gpu
the cpu/mobo.
Nothing is cheap right now
Hi, Brian. I think my system will be good for a while. I have an MSI X570 Unify, water-cooled 5900X, water-cooled RX 6800, three 2TB gen 4 PCIe m.2 drives, 32GB of ddr4 4400 RAM, two EK D5 pumps, four 360mm radiators, a total of 13 120mm fans, and an 850watt Seasonic PSU all stuffed into a Thermaltake View 51 case.
Very nice computer
I have a Desktop PC from 2011, it's currently running 8.1 which is near the end of support as I'm typing this. It runs Windows 10 just as fast as a new computer, the pre release of 11 runs great and fast, I haven't tried 11 22H2 yet but I have on a VM and it runs. The motherboard can support a directx 12 card if 11 really needs directx 12. Gaming works but it's always on the lowest setting. I am truly amazed how long this 600 dollar computer has lasted in the family, it was my mom's pc from 2011 to 2018 then I got it in 2019 and have been using it daily since. I do think about upgrading/replacing cause of the lack luster gaming performance but I don't know if it's worth it, it seems like the PC won't die lol.
Like many others Brain, I am all for updating my current desktop if need be but my current Ivy Bridge build operates really well for me as is. I don't game or do any fancy graphics stuff and am running Windows 11 Pro 22H2. My concern would be in buying a replacement machine is again cost but I deal with a company in Melbourne Australia that build basic machines, and they give you options for changing the components to what you want. The trouble is cost and it is eye-watering when I see prices for GPUs for example but again they also allow you to add such older components like my Asus Xonar sound card (which is so hard to find now) and Asus GTX 650 Ti (my current GPU) to the machine without losing the warranty. So that would be the way to go as I don't have the dexterity to build again myself - plus the cost of course. But a good video mate and such great advice which sadly some will not follow. The other concern in building a new machine would also be if Microsoft added more restrictions on the hardware side in running any new and upcoming OS's.
Here's something you might know, the power supply rails are dependent on the internal transformer It's either a single output winding running all the rails , or it's independent windings running each rails with it;s own capacitor regulation The latter one is the one you one because their is isolation between the rails and better regulation/ripple This is something a lot of those high computer channels will not tell you,
depends what u use the computer for....i have a 7 yr old laptop and a 12 yr old desktop both with 4GB of RAM running windows 10..they work fine for web browsing YT and streaming movies which is all i want so until one of them goes bang i will stick with them...i just replaced the HDD in the desktop at the exorbitant price of 15 quid but when i walk into a computer shop and they want 700 quid for a new laptop i think i made a good decision
You should be good for a while with your requirements
I just did a little upgrade that cost me under $30 after selling off the "old" stuff; it included a CPU and RAM upgrade. Changed from Xeon E5-2678v3 to E5-2696v3. The later's price dropped to $51 and I went for it (18C/36T, 3.8Ghz max turbo, DDR3 or DDR4 compatible). Same for the RAM...went from 4x8GB DDR3 1833 to 4x8GB DDR4 3000. Performance improved noticeably, especially on heavy workloads. This CPU was released in SEPT 2014. Nevertheless, I see absolutely no need to upgrade anytime soon.
Thanks Brian for all the good info.
Cheers GEO
True Story: This week, I built a pc out of old parts that I had lying around for an older couple that I know, for free. I took payment in coffee and conversation. I was originally going to fix their pc, it turned out that pc was a low-end P4. An old and SLOW pc. (I didn't charge them anything because their dog just had some big vet bills).
I was surprised what 10+yr old parts could do for someone who doesn't play games, the pc specs were an i5-2500s cpu that I put in an IBM pc shell, it originally had a Pentium cpu.
For a video card, I put in a perfectly working gtx 1050ti, it's missing a front bracket & was previously modified for size, and I put in a 256gb ssd for the boot drive. I need to upgrade the ram, it's only got 2x2gb, I told them to only use 2 Chrome tabs at the same time until I upgrade the ram, lol! (I'll do that this week). These items were just gathering dust on one of my storage shelves.
The i5 pc is able to surf the internet and they can watch youtube, check e-mail & social media. For them, the old i5 pc that I have NO use for for IS AMAZING, it's MUCH faster and doesn't crash like their old p4 did.
As with many things, it's perspective. It gave me some, maybe I can keep using my 5600x and 3090 for a while longer even thought those parts aren't the fastest anymore. I don't have to spend a pile of money on the latest and greatest. (I still might though! 😉)
Depends on what your doing with the computer, little underpowered for my needs, but if it works for you, that's great. Thanks for sharing
It means a lot help thank you for all your tutorials and other similar video tubes also. I have fixed all the problems the startup boot and it"s total processing speed is improved I only need sfc and Dism command b/c I found corrupt system file. GBU!
Glad I could help
Any upgradable pc from 2010 is okay for regular day work
All comes down to what you are trying to do with the computer
Great video Britect! I found this to be very useful. I've always dreamed of having a custom PC, but I still cannot afford one, so I'm managing with my current PC, which is a 2011 HP Z210 Workstation. It's had minor issues here and there, but I will be upgrading the RAM, PSU and graphics card in future. Any recommendations as to what the best power supply for one of those workstations is? I'm looking at ones with about 750 watts.
Fantastic conversation. Thats just the real opinion I was looking for. I managed to grab a 7 year old HP tower with an i5 cpu, 16gb ram, 256ssd and 1TB hdd. Everyone keeps telling me its not even worth it for free. Total junk. It seems to work just fine for me. I dont game or do graphics design, programming, etc.
11/2022 and I am running a 4k/60Hz screen: still running a Devil's Canyon and it does all I need. Yeah, the push to buy new stuff is huge. Just ignore it until you see problems in what you are actually doing. I have had 12th gen Intel and nice Ryzens go in and out of my shop and I cannot be bothered. And yes, I can afford them but why do it ? Boot time?
My specs?
i7-4790K @ 4.6, 32 gigs (overkill) of 1600 9-9-9-24 ddr3 on a lovely Hero 7, strix 1080ti , and a bottlenecked nvme samsung. And yes, this 2014 rig pegs my favourite game (World of Tanks) at max settings 4k/60Hz all day every day.
Great video Brian
Cheers
Mere pc me ram ke rgb chal nhi rhi plz help
I have an HP laptop that's almost a decade old now, and it's so dreadfully slow by comparison to what I'm used to on my new gaming rig... can't really afford to buy a new laptop, so I'm thinking about upgrading the RAM and switching to an SSD. Also, since it runs on Windows 8 (not 8.1, just 8) and has major OS breakage, I'm just gonna switch over to ZorinOS, as I've been told that it can revitalize old PCs to a certain extent.
Wouldn’t it just be easier and cheaper to just get an iPad or something like that instead of a laptop.
Thinking about playing MSF 2020 . I"m all about graphics. Right now I"m using a i5 9600k with a 3070ti tuf @1440p 60hz , 16gb ram @3200hz. Thinking about upgrading to an i5 12600k on a z690ud (gigabyte) +16gb more of ram. Wil lprobably have to swap out my 500gb nvme drive for a 1TB drive.
Still a nice system you have
I added a new laptop that processes 1 hour of camera video in 1 hour (instead of 3 hours +). I will replace the older two laptops with batteries no longer charging if I cannot find replacements for those batteries.
I have a 10 year old i7 I built it runs win 10 ok on a sata ssd I ran linux mint for a few years looking at either a mini pc or building a new one if I can save up. I am unable to work I have schizophrenia worried about win 10 running out of support. Gas and electric bills a nightmare. Thanks for your videos.
You're welcome mate
Cool!
Thanks
When you have a list of several games you can t run on current system.
This way, i am still using my 3rd gen i5 in 2024 and my mega rx580.
In the last 5 years i spent about 200$ on pc parts. I take most of the stuff from the garbage 🥰
Hi can you help I have a minisforum pc stick s41 I updated the intel graphics and now its pretty much just stopped working cant access advanced option I get error codes when booting up the 0000098 one it also says your pc needs to be fixed only thing it will do is start in safe mode but then cant really do much when I am in safe mode its driving me mad its happened a few times now and I have always been able to access the recovery options or use cmd to format the drive and reinstall windows but this time nothing only the error codes and safe mode thats it can you help thanks in advance
Get it going Brian. New PC for everyone.
lol Yes sir
@@Britec09is it better to replace a desktop computer when you can’t connect to Wi Fi anymore?
There does come a point when the CPU becomes the bottleneck for improving game frame rates. The highest tier of video cards will spend a lot of time waiting for instructions, if they're being fed by a low-tier CPU. My next system upgrade will be a full re-build, starting with the motherboard.
I totally agree
Is there a special technique for replacing the CMOS battery? I popped mine out with a screwdriver but the new one (CR2032) just wouldn't stay in position within the plastic holder - maybe a piece of plastic broke? Anyway, I ended up using superglue so it won't be falling out anytime soon!
No, just push it in the correct way
@@Britec09 I tried all ways but it kept falling out. I can only assume something broke within the holder so I had to use glue.
I have I7 Gigabyte Z490 pro 10th gen 250gb mvme 1tb ssd ,500gb hard drive 16gb ram 3060 gpu i gaming and other stuff no need to upgrade runing W11
I agree, nice little system still
When after I max out the old PC and have the budget that's when I get a new one.
Good for you

This is my gaming laptop spec. I'm using since since July 2021. Hi Brian, Can this laptop be used in the next 3-4 years? 😸😹😾
FYI. This is not my 1st machine. It took me many cycles of yeatrs to get my dream machine. And my dream machine is constantly changing. Nowadays, laptops and desktops only last around 3-4 yeats. What a shame!
👍👍
geforce auto tuning not turning on
I have a problem where I can't enable automatic tuning. I click it so it goes green, I click agree and continue, but the slider keeps going back to off. So what can I do to fix this as I can't seem to keep it turned on, I tried turning it on when in the game I also tried turning it on when on desktop, but I just can't get it actually turn on and stay on any help would be greatly appreciated.

For me, you said it in the first sentence... when you can afford it. I cant, and have to live with it.
Not everyone can afford it, especially in these tough times
My old win7 upgraded to win10 is still pretty darn fast. However the video card can't handle HD for video editing. It's to old to handle any newer video card. I drone and have to video in 2.7K or else my video at HD will lag. Money is not the issue. To be honest. I just hate starting all over again. I know soon I will have to bite the bullet. Thanks for the info.
Glad its all working out for you
Need a Little Help with putting that Processor in Mate ? ........................*)
Don't think so, think I am OK
I give you advice:
You should upgrade your PC when u have $$$
Thanks makes sense
Hello sir
Some youtubers are just shameless entertainers looking for attention and validation while having viewers pay for this computers they are building
Just upgrade to Linux and you will need no new hardware or upgrade to a new Mac and you will need no PC anymore!😂
Well I wish that was true
@@Britec09 It is true, at least partially!☺
noice
Thanks
