Ngl, This was one one the best YouTube collabs ever.
Me watching a youtuber i thought was good… Zach building a pc for 1000$ that crashes*
Can we please have David and Tito on a retro collab video. They both have a lot of enthusiasm for the older gaming consoles with having a strong knowledge on the topic that would make for a great video.
16:02 lmaooooo
Omg it's macho nacho!!!! Yay!!!
It always comes down to CPU or a GPU issue when you're buying refurbished or used. I prefer to always never trust the seller and buy new CPU and new GPU because I can never trust them to not overclock it to the point of breaking it which is probably why Zach's computer kept busting. He had to lower the speeds because wherever you got it from overclock that's so much that it busted it from even running default. And that's one thing that I wish you would disclaim every single time you do these buy used parts builds. Make sure you see it running and can install an after burner or whatever to make sure it's at default clocks and run a benchmark before you buy it. It really doesn't take very long plus you're already at the place. If they don't want to let you test it out like that then come up with maybe a deal or find out a way to do it but if it's a no way no-how, for me to save $50 and not know if it's going to be busted I would rather just pay the extra $50. In fact I would rather just pay and get a new one to be 100% sure but you can still be 100% sure as long as they let you test it
zach is buff!
Nerd on a budget sounds like mandark from dexters lab.
The person who is closest to the budget, should get a "mystery component" upgrade. There is no incentive now to not go over $25-50. The upgrade prize would change that I think.
If I can't play on it handheld…. It's an editing rig 😅
4th place pc has more newer components with best power to performance ratio and futureproofing (due to fsr 4 and ray tracing improvement in amd ). In my case I gave power efficiency a big point bcoz most countries in Asia are topical countries and heat from a computer using 350 or 500 watt in a room in Summer is unbearable if can't afford an ac.
Zach is a GIANT!!!
kudos to my guy Zach
Pretty cool video, but some things were irrational or repulsive:
1. Using all used parts in a 1000$ budget.
2. Joyce's profile pic (absolutely and utterly disgusting).
3. Joyce's intelligence (so cringe, zero skill).
As for aesthetics – ZTT's build is definitely the best. Fantastic looks, great performance.
Where I live, for ~1000$ you can buy a brand new PC wtih: 9600X, 32GB RAM, RX 9060 XT 16GB or RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, 1TB SSD, and a 750W modular PSU (the rest of the parts counted, but not mentioned). The most important think being that they have warranty.
Jesus Christ, this is so cringe, but at least you people are having fun so good for everyone then.
Now gift me a pc bros
zach's build looks actually amazing
Lol Nerd on a budget is there!!
Zach is the best, even better than L.. 😊
27:22 i would for sure
they shouldve gotten THE GREATEST TECHNICIAN THAT HAS EVER LIVED too
The total esthetics dont really matter much as long as its not a super ugly mess. But ZTT's beautifully put together build just hits that perfect primal spot of "hehhehhhehh, shiny rock" that my brain just enjoys.
The PC's are alreay sold on JAWA??? Crazy. All for $1100 😅…Nerd guys PC defo should have been sold for $999!
