Socket 1150 is a generation description. The last one with DDR3 memory. Really seems to be left over stock. The 1660Ti is pretty decent though. But don't forget their are several 3040 video cards (also known as the 3050 6Gb) below 200 euro now which is better. A decent case with power supply is under 100 euro and a AM4 5600x with DDR4 memory and simple mainboard about 200 euro. And keyboard and mouse can be bought for 10-15 euro at a sale in a drug store or something.
This exact same pc is sold in Germany under the STG Sivir brand. And to prove your IED PSU theory, the german youtuber "Hardware Dealz" had his one literally blow up on camera.
@@Dictatortot-n3d You can buy moster v4 xeon with 14 cores and 28 threads cores for like 15$ or cheaper only 12 cores version with lower clock speeds for 6$. Only downside is that some games require anticheat that doesn't work on fine chinesium motherboards.
I spent around 800 (albeit euro's) and I have an AM5 system... The key takeaway from this video is "no upgrade path". That really cuts into the value you get back. Also, if you're looking to save, you could grab an Optiplex or something similar from eBay or Amazon’s renewed store and just add a decent GPU. You might find an i5 6500 series with 8GB DDR4 for give or take 100 bucks or less. Then you've still got enough money to grab a good GPU and an extra memory stick. You might even upgrade the CPU to an i7 6th gen or, if you're lucky and the board allows it, a 7th gen CPU. Dropping 500 (either dollars or euros) on a system like the one in the video just doesn't make sense to me.
@@Stikkzz I'd rather get that than to get some crap from Alienware. At least with this one, you could swap out the guts with a cheap AM4 motherboard CPU and DDR4- Along with a 600w - 750w PSU for around 100 bucks. I could live with a GTX1660ti until I could save up for RX 6650xt.
Apart from costing more money than they should, prebuilts like this do have a place and still cost less than a 2nd gen i5 system in cex. They're perfect as a "my first gaming pc" for kids/teens. We got something similar for our daughter to do her homework and play roblox on. She doesnt need all of the io and cool features that us power users like to have, she doesn't even need a cd drive
A crazy $3000+ PC would probably still not have a CD drive. :p Nobody installs internal CD drives anymore. Maybe just a USB one in a drawer for the occasional use.
@@WanderfalkeAT yeah she may well do, thanks 👍. On a Sims side note, someone bought my sister the making magic expansion pack for the Sims years ago, we didn't have the full game, the installer let me point it to it's own disk for the base game installation and installed the full game as well as the making magic expansion lol
I built my 15 year old a similar PC. 4th gen i5, 16GB of DDR3, a 1050Ti, MSI mobo and stuffed it in a cheap case. Total cost under GB£150 and he loves it for Steam/similar stuff, cloud gaming, college work and so on.
I knew we were in for a fun time when I saw the manual voltage selector on the power supply. Auto voltage circuits are cheap as chips now so it had to either be ancient or so cheap that AliExpress would be embarrassed to carry it
I actually have a fairly modern power supply that has the 110/220V selector switch. If they cheap out on that versus the actual components, I'm fine with it.
Thankfully it's a pretty low power PC by modern standards but yeah it doesn't inspire much confidence. Hopefully it just means it's a somewhat "simple" design rather than a bad design.
3:08 If you notice somethings wrong here, I can say you have lots of experiences of PC buildings. Red SATA cable usually means SATA 2 Speed not SATA 3... It means it can't deliver full speed of ssd... :(
That may have meant something in the old days, similar to the colors for Ethernet cables, but you can get SATA 3 cables in all different colors now. You'd have had to run CrystalDiskMark or something similar to tell the difference. The SATA cables we use at work are red and blue, and both types support full SATA III 6Gb/s transfer rates - even on the few second-gen i5s we still have kicking around.
That board only has two DIMM slots and 8GB DDR3 sticks were the largest for regular desktops. Though of course they could have put just a single 8GB stick instead of the 16GB kit
A sound bar should feature independent left and right channels; it's amusing to think someone might consider them mono. If it were mono, it wouldn't be a sound bar but rather a center channel speaker for a 5.1 or more surround system. Love the videos, keep them coming!
My oldest daughter is gaming on an old Dell OptiPlex with 1TB M.2 NVME drive, an i7 7700K, 64GB 3200MT DDR4, and RTX A2000 12GB. She has no problems gamming at 1080p. Considering I got the OptiPlex for free from work and the GPU came from a workstation I purchased at a garage sale for $200, it's the one of cheapest and capable gaming Desktops around.
@deanchur It's my best find yet. Basically got a $5,000 workstation for pennies on the dollar. The only real issue was a corrupt Windows install. I honestly thought the GPU was bad when I bought it. I was also surprised it was the 12GB version instead of the 8GB.
I bought an i5-4690K, 16 gig RAM, MSI Z97 Gaming 5, Fractal integra M 750w, R9 390 8GB PC including an admittedly small 128 GB boot ssd with windows 10 for like $650 US in mid-2016. This PC is similar and costs about the same. Of course, mine doesn't have sketchy parts and is still my main PC to this day, with some upgrades. (GTX 1080, lots of storage, total of 24 gigs of RAM)
Im still in shock how many pow profile gpus there are (the newer ones). Theres the gt 1030, rx 6400, gtx 1650, rtx a2000, a lp rtx 3050, an lp 4060, and now the most powerful being the rtx 4000 ada lp. All r absolute beasts for upgrading office pcs
It would be interesting to see some attempts at optimizing the system as it comes. Set ram speed and timings, OC cpu (4770 non K, so maybe FSB boost?), and OC the GPU a smidge. Lets see what's possible for the price point.

Definitely better than the gt750ti I was expecting, you could reasonably game on this. That said a optiplex with 7/8 gen Intel is ~300 and a rx6600 for $200 would be better in every way.
"Path of Exile" has a problem with older CPUs too (even though it came out only 1 year after the 3770k in my example). Before my 3770k kicked it last year I almost couldn't play POE because of the inconsistency with frames. For whatever reason the game doesn't like the older CPUs, it will just stop utilizing the CPU in multithread mode. CPU would start off at 100% and running fine and then dropped to as low as 30% with massive frame time spikes.
I had a i7 3820 for 7 years if you can believe it. The 2011 Socket was giving it a long life. Overclocked to 4.8 and 64GB DDR-3 Quad. Still about 8 times behind the Rig I am using now.
@@WanderfalkeAT Had my 3770k for 11 years. Bought it in 2012 and only replaced it when either it or the mobo kicked it Sept 2023. One benefit of AMD not competing and Intel being lazy and continuing to make only 4 core CPUs for a decade, I guess.🤣

Well CS is a government psyop company for a command and control system. So they planned this outage, it actually had nothing to do with China. This time....
I upgraded my kids pc from the 4790k to a ryzen 5600x. Nothing else. He got almost a 50% performance improvement with no other components changed out (other than the move from ddr3 to ddr4)
Nice. I imagine that's a huge IPC gain as well as going from 4C to 6 cores. I was really CPU limited in the 4 core era, just changing out platforms and upgrading CPU to a newer platform made a huge difference.
@@thrashstronaut Those older machines are still great on Linux for office and perhaps some light gaming/HTPC on the side. Yeah buying one new about 10 years later is a bit interesting. Closest I had to this one was Skylake era pc. Also had a second gen, so I imagine it's somewhere in between.
Its places like Temu that make me SUPER glad I build my own systems, and they're systems that last for more than a few years as well as keeping up with gaming system requirements lol.
I'm not mad at this PC given its price. I'm still running a 4790K, 16 GB DDR3 1600, GTX 1070, and a SATA SSD, and am getting totally playable 1080p experiences out of all the games I personally play.
I felt a lot safer knowing Stgaubron made the PSU …. I was worried it was going to be some sketchy unknown brand 😂😂💀 Edit: I will admit that you can’t get a whole lot better from Best Buy at the specific $500 price point. I mean, I guess you could get some thing like a handheld. But about the cheapest thing you could get it Best Buy had a 12100 and a 1650 even with the better CPU I think that might actually be a worse set up for $500…. Mind you if you spend like 100-200 more you can get a whole lot more with actual modern GPU and components that can be upgraded down the line 😂. For like $700 you’re talking like 1TB ssd, 12400f, 3050, and 16gb of 3600MHz DDR4 which isn’t horrible other than the 3050 … I defiantly think the sweet spot if your buying prebuilt is about $880-1000 usd cuz then you get a 4060 or better and current gen CPUs
you can do -threads 9 in startup options, it would help with thread issue. for example, if you have 12 threads, you do -threads 13 and it utilizes all threads
what scares me is that they actually took the time to put notes on there saying which display outputs to use, they know their market is stupid enough to buy it and then send it back for RMA after plugged it in wrong...
I spent about an hour going over their grab bag of configurations. It's madness, all overpriced, seemingly parametric determined NOS assembly. I can't imagine the chaos for those workers, virtually no two builds down the line the same.
The great thing about buying stuff with CAD is that the Canadian rouble is worth so little it doesn't matter what rubbish you buy, you won't actually lose much real money on it and a lot of the time you'll be pleasantly surprised...
Can't judge here. I just retired (in January) a 4th Gen HP small form factor system (Core i7-4790K) I had been using for about 7 years as my daily driver. I upgraded to a 9th Gen 9900KF with a GTX-1080ti on a Z390 and 32 GB of DDR4 3200 RAM and that's what I'm using now. Rise of the Tomb Raider, Horizon Zero Dawn, Diablo IV, all at 1080p high and ultra settings and I barely get below 80 FPS. All the components I'm using are used. There is something to be said for "matched" components that work well together even though they are older.
What a high price. In 2019 I spent $125 on ebay for an old Dell with almost this exact configuration minus the GPU. Same CPU, same RAM, Windows 10 installed on an SSD, an optical drive, etc. I never gamed on it, though. It's my WiFi video server.
If it wasn't for the ancient CPU and Mainboard this could actually be a competent pre build for someone that knows how to apply XMP profiles and so forth.
You know what this thing is perfect for? Building into an arcade cabinet, it's already on a tiny motherboard, it's exactly what I'm planning on doing with my old 4790k rig, I imagine the limit will be switch/ps2 though, I haven't tried rpcs3 or xenia on it because I figure it's a waste of time lol
Nice unboxing. As of today, july 20th, temu has this pc with a black case, and an amd rx 580 6gb video card for $351.35 and free shipping. But the price ended in about 12 hrs. after in saw the ad.

9:02 oooo -> explosion, that was my favorite part😂😂
Hmmm....bought a Temu PC and hooked it up to the internet...we then had the large outage with CS. Coincident? I think not.
Adorable, absolutely ADORABLE
Well CS is a government psyop company for a command and control system. So they planned this outage, it actually had nothing to do with China. This time....
Honestly, it's a well put together little system! The price, however, is a bit much considering the components lol. Great vid, Dawid 👍
I upgraded my kids pc from the 4790k to a ryzen 5600x. Nothing else. He got almost a 50% performance improvement with no other components changed out (other than the move from ddr3 to ddr4)
Nice. I imagine that's a huge IPC gain as well as going from 4C to 6 cores. I was really CPU limited in the 4 core era, just changing out platforms and upgrading CPU to a newer platform made a huge difference.
With what GPU?
I gave my partner my old 4690K system 3 years ago so she can do coursework on it, the idea of buying one "new" from that generation blows my mind.
@@thrashstronaut Those older machines are still great on Linux for office and perhaps some light gaming/HTPC on the side. Yeah buying one new about 10 years later is a bit interesting. Closest I had to this one was Skylake era pc. Also had a second gen, so I imagine it's somewhere in between.
Nothing else, aside from the different motherboard and ram.
A fan that's developed a mdma club habit? Literally just creased up!
That's made my day, Dawid! Great job!!!
Without the IED Temu PSU is it *really* a Temu PC? :p
Its places like Temu that make me SUPER glad I build my own systems, and they're systems that last for more than a few years as well as keeping up with gaming system requirements lol.
hell yes
The reveal after pulling out the packing foam was hilarious.
I'm not mad at this PC given its price. I'm still running a 4790K, 16 GB DDR3 1600, GTX 1070, and a SATA SSD, and am getting totally playable 1080p experiences out of all the games I personally play.
I have the exact same configuration aside from a comparable Xeon cpu and it's great for what I do!
"Given its price" is a very bad take, its a fine pc for light 1080p games but not worth a dollar more than $200
it's an okay pc for what it is but I wouldn't pay 500 for it at this point in time maybe 2-3 years ago
@@Izarious Ok, good luck with that, bud
You may think the intro is a skit, but it's actually how Dawid decides where to buy a computer
bruhh an $500 PC with lga1150 in 2024, Temu makes me sad
Aside from the soundbar almost invoking a segure, the complete lack of palm faced laughter was refreshingly not bad.
I felt a lot safer knowing Stgaubron made the PSU …. I was worried it was going to be some sketchy unknown brand 😂😂💀
Edit: I will admit that you can’t get a whole lot better from Best Buy at the specific $500 price point. I mean, I guess you could get some thing like a handheld. But about the cheapest thing you could get it Best Buy had a 12100 and a 1650 even with the better CPU I think that might actually be a worse set up for $500…. Mind you if you spend like 100-200 more you can get a whole lot more with actual modern GPU and components that can be upgraded down the line 😂. For like $700 you’re talking like 1TB ssd, 12400f, 3050, and 16gb of 3600MHz DDR4 which isn’t horrible other than the 3050 … I defiantly think the sweet spot if your buying prebuilt is about $880-1000 usd cuz then you get a 4060 or better and current gen CPUs
Honestly seems fine for the 14 years old that will be receiving them .
I take exception to the delivery person comment you made. Our UPS person can destroy Anything and they are up for the challenge! 😅
It was surprisingly better than I'd ever expect save the peripherals.
Omg dude! I nearly chiked myself out on "power supply by isis"!
A PSU that doesn't have autosense for the voltage is... ancient technology man.
I see a new Dawid vid, i click straight away
Same, everytime ;)
you can do -threads 9 in startup options, it would help with thread issue.
for example, if you have 12 threads, you do -threads 13 and it utilizes all threads
yoo I am first
Yoo he is chat!
what scares me is that they actually took the time to put notes on there saying which display outputs to use, they know their market is stupid enough to buy it and then send it back for RMA after plugged it in wrong...
I spent about an hour going over their grab bag of configurations. It's madness, all overpriced, seemingly parametric determined NOS assembly. I can't imagine the chaos for those workers, virtually no two builds down the line the same.
8:26 this is why I subscribed to the channel and will watch every video
1:37 - WOW! An RGB Flat Clicker!
It looks and performs better then some prebuilds back in 2015-2017.
Been getting daily updates from 4ra on match highlights, loving it! 📱🏏
Had a question about a game, and 4ra's support was right there, super quick! 🕒🙌
i just love your channel and your humor
The great thing about buying stuff with CAD is that the Canadian rouble is worth so little it doesn't matter what rubbish you buy, you won't actually lose much real money on it and a lot of the time you'll be pleasantly surprised...
I could have sworn in the first few moments that the case manufacturer called it "staubsauger" (vacuum cleaner in German).
of all the used thrash pcs from amazon and the like this one is the king, this is geniunly usable
Was expecting much worse. It’s not good value but at least it’s well put together and has no bloatware.
You and Linus just going for the same video series I see, very original.
I needed this. Like ASMR...but completely different. 🤩
The "self satisfaction" I am experiencing never felt so (sooo) good.
Can't judge here. I just retired (in January) a 4th Gen HP small form factor system (Core i7-4790K) I had been using for about 7 years as my daily driver. I upgraded to a 9th Gen 9900KF with a GTX-1080ti on a Z390 and 32 GB of DDR4 3200 RAM and that's what I'm using now. Rise of the Tomb Raider, Horizon Zero Dawn, Diablo IV, all at 1080p high and ultra settings and I barely get below 80 FPS. All the components I'm using are used. There is something to be said for "matched" components that work well together even though they are older.
What a high price. In 2019 I spent $125 on ebay for an old Dell with almost this exact configuration minus the GPU. Same CPU, same RAM, Windows 10 installed on an SSD, an optical drive, etc. I never gamed on it, though. It's my WiFi video server.
If it wasn't for the ancient CPU and Mainboard this could actually be a competent pre build for someone that knows how to apply XMP profiles and so forth.
Love the topknot! Looking great bro 😊
you know, I watched those linus secret shopper vids, and a few big name system builder didn't even do the foam pillow inside for shipping.
That speaker is wild. Lmao definitely didn't expect that.
Dawid:
The best CPU that you can use in that board is the Intel Xeon E3 1280.
Base clock:
4ghz
Boost clock:
4.4ghz
You know what this thing is perfect for? Building into an arcade cabinet, it's already on a tiny motherboard, it's exactly what I'm planning on doing with my old 4790k rig, I imagine the limit will be switch/ps2 though, I haven't tried rpcs3 or xenia on it because I figure it's a waste of time lol
I just got my roll to eat and this shows up I watched it thanks dawid for making my meal more enjoyable
I have the same IKEA rug! I hung it up my wall for accoustics, no regrets.
9:03 dat edit, bruh X'D
~a random canadian subscriber dude
Nice unboxing. As of today, july 20th, temu has this pc with a black case, and an amd rx 580 6gb video card for $351.35 and free shipping. But the price ended in about 12 hrs. after in saw the ad.
But will it have those SICK fans?
@@AnnaDoes yes. Same case, but different color.
2:40. Broooooooo can you say that? I'm dying.
"Everyone deserves their own gaming PC" If Stgaubron had one, they should let us know.
been watching for a few weeks and decided to sub to your channel i enjoy the vids keep up the good work
That sound bar f'd up my epileptic cat!!!
Jeff is definitely the average consumer 😂😂😂. I hope he appears in more videos.
FWIW my system has a 4770 in it 😅
"very old" and 2013 in the same sentence make me feel old. Oh fuck I'll be 30 soon
