I absolutely love the fact that you give it to Dell! I am so sick of there proprietary low build quality and all the underhanded stuff with bloatware and hidden charges. I actually had a system from them that I had to repair and I had to RMA three times not to mention contact with the tech just to wind up with a test board because they had no other replacements which didn't even last the year started having controller issues ram blue screen and then eventually killing the CPU all because of their board. But I've also had a similar issue with a emachines computer but that one was partly my fault because I tried to change it to a new thermally more advantage case and switching from their proprietary power solution to a dare I say it stock cheapo supply which ultimately through diagnosis didn't ground properly and killed that board in CPU. But back to Dell zero help high cost low build quality and ultimately waste because nothing can be imported or improved!

i got my cybpower pc in april things I have done since then.
CPU from ryzen 3 2300x to a ryzen 5 2600
8g tforce to 16gb gskill
added extra fan and moved one from back on top
replaced psu
xfx rx 570 4gb to rtx 3060ti 8gb gigabyte master
I should've replaced the motherboard that i cant overclock on
I actually purchased the next up rebuild from them and the RGB didnt work so i knew i wasnt gong to get much frames so i took it back and got whats listed above
prebuilt i took back was a ryzen 5 3600 and a rx 580 8gb probably had a b450 motherboard at the time it was a significant downgrade but i didn't know any better if they would have the fans working properly i wouldn't have taken it back

Now now.. it would not be that bad if you made super-small changes:
1. Flip two case fans for intake.
2. Force Cooler Master to make better cooler (at least flatten the contact surface + add better fan like 2k rpm or smthin).
3. Switch 1x8GB to 2x 4GB RAM.
DONE! you're like +15% perf in games for almost 0 , maybe 10 at most lol! Even bill 1060 for this PC but do this change. The tower cooler+Z-series mobo for 1100 would make it so much better lol.

Steve's math is wrong?
Steve says something like even if you got gouged... CPU and GPU cost 700.. computer is 1050... sure there's other parts but they don't cost that much ... so Steve is suggesting the other parts don't total anywhere near 350 ( 1050-700)??... really? My MSRP estimates are (CPU doesn't come with a fan):
30 (CPU fan) + 80 (case) + 40 (SSD) + 60 (PSU) + 100 (motherboard) + 50 (8GB stick of memory) = 360

On a whim, I attached my 240 aio cold plate to the heat sink that came with my 3600, stuck together with hair ties and tg kryonaut(applies to cold plate/heat sink and then cpu/heat sink) and this jank ass config on a 5600x works better than the stuff these professionals come up with. Door closed on my case mining at 4.7ghz 44 degrees and the best they can do is 100 degrees??!!

Built my first PC a few weeks back (nerve-wracking experience, that) and somehow I feel immensely gratified that the motherboard I used (got the mATX version) was shouted out as a sponsor in today's video since I believe you wouldn't do that for a POS.
Power of GN's implicitly ok-ing things cannot be undersold.

The Molex Centipede ....
This is exactly how to do it! I always had such a chain, but only for fans and useless stuff like the front IO of my Soundblaster. I care ofc about everything else so this daisychaining isnt used ofc for needed stuff, but for fans such constellations are pretty ok.

It'd be a fairly decent build if they downgraded the CPU to a non-K part, and used the money saved to upgrade the cooler to something that actually worked and add a second DIMM. Then they could offer an upgrade to a 10600k CPU, Z490 motherboard, and a pair of fast DIMM's.

crazy thing, the margin they could make up by getting a 10400f/11400f which would perform basicly the same would easily pay for a better cooler, another stick of ram and a suitable mobo... so they could sell it at similar margin with better performance for their customers
