WHAT LUCK I'VE GOT I ALREADY HAVE A Z230 PC AND MY COUSIN IS GONNA GIVE ME HIS OLD 1060 BECAUSE HE'S UPGRADING

How can i see fps like you in the games

What other cheap gpus could i use for it?

👍👍👍

I run 2 of these Z230's as budget games machines, and I'm perfectly happy with them. One has the standard 400w PSU and a 6gb GTX 1060 in it, and the other has a 650w ATX PSU bodged into it and happily runs a GTX 1080.

The only real problems with using a Z230 as a games machine is that HP didn't add BIOS options to do anything interesting, all but the top 16x PCIe 3.0 slot are PCIe 2.0 (so once your GPU's installed, things like PCIe to M.2 adapters or 8 port USB 3.2 cards will be struggling with bandwidth), and there's a few things that don't conform to ATX standards, so certain upgrade paths are tricky. For example, the PSU isn't ATX dimensions, the motherboard plug is an odd 18 pin item rather than the common 24 pin, and the PSU's also pushing out an oddball voltage on one rail for something or other (11vdc IIRC). An ATX PSU CAN fit, but it's not exactly tidy unless you fabricate an adapter plate, and you'll need a special power adapter cable that includes a power regulator in it to get that off voltage.

These PC's only really came with i7 4770/4790's or a handful of different Xeon chips from the E3-12xx v3 range. The i7's seem to give slightly better benchmarks, but the difference is minimal, and as the Xeons tend to be a shade cheaper, it's worth not ignoring them as a potential option. They're all basically the same piece of Haswell silicon with different names etched into the lid, so it's not worth getting too hung up on which flavour you find going cheap.

Some HP/Dell/Lenovo systems can spit out their dummy if you don't use the exact OEM specification of memory that came in it when new, but these don't seem to be particularly fussy. They take up to 32gb of DDR3, and at least here in the UK, DDR3 seems to have hit that point where the secondhand markets flooded with the stuff, but most of the folks who could use it have already loaded up their PC or are saving the money to go towards a CPU/motherboard/DDR4 upgrade, so for now, getting 4x 8gb sticks isn't a budget shatteringly experience.

All said, for the money, they're still an absolutely cracking budget games PC. As the PC's have onboard raid, and I had a handful of 1tb Samsung SSD's kicking about, I chose to set my pair of Z230's up with raid 0 striped arrays for the primary drives. It's not getting anywhere near m.2 speeds, but the setup does give a noticeable drop in how long games take to load.

Bought the fuktwot 1080ti GPU with an Incel Eruptor Lake i69 CPU and an Anus Rog Swift monitor to help lube the deal. All I can say is wow. I've never felt better.

i was in Afghanistan in 2015 lol warrior base, no disney resort on that side of BAF but chowhall was top tier lol.

Stay away from pre-built OEM systems. Even if you get lucky, you'll be stuck. You'll end up paying double in the long run. Instead, buy a used gaming PC with a good foundation (motherboard, CPU, RAM) and upgrade it over time. This way, you can upgrade again and again and sell the parts you don't need."

I just bought a hp z440 with 32gb ram i5 for $70 I think I'm gonna install the same gpu you did cause I'm cheap 😅

Tbh, as someone who plays WoT once every 3 months, and usually only Spintires and Snowrunner; I see no purpose at spending more money than this for a gaming pc

100 dolar sponser 😂

Guys he isn’t going to answer your questions here for free

I just bought the z800 for £30 on marketplace so it’s a good pc for budget build but you can’t overclock the Xeon’s but overall not bad

do you think this is good enough for a beginner programing pc

cheap stuff aint cool and cool stuff aint cheap

hi can you help me find suitable build for my gtx 550ti i could not find good ones

do it run elden ring?

I have built pc systems for free by scavenging from e waste, I have found i7 3770, 4790, I found a gtx 650, I have found some gaming pc ram, it's crazy what they throw away, but it takes dumpster diving in e waste bins, and doing a lot of scavenging, it takes years of scavenging to find an ssd

We need a 13.50$ build next.

Make that 11.50$. I just bought a snack.

Am i able to put a 6gb gtx 1060? Mention me when replying pls

Need someone go help me build my HP desktop i5 processor.

Ima need to work in the fields (my front yard trees and bushes) for my parents give me 120 doallars

test these pcs with beamNG drive

Best CPU and GPU combinations under $70 and $100 respectively? Not minding the CPU generations

I found a crap media centre PC thrown out 3 weeks ago. Chassis is old but high quality and a decent psu. The specs were horrible, FX 5400 4GB ram 1TB rust spinner. I went on AliExpress, €30 for a B85 motherboard, €16 for a E3 1270 V3, €7.98 for 16GB of DDR 3, €5 cooler and I found a low profile 1050 Ti 4GB for €50 second hand (decent price for Spain). All in about €120 and honestly it's a great steam box under the telly in the sitting room. So much so I'm thinking of selling the PS 5 because with a my huge ( since it launched) Steam library it's just much more fun than a console and with a Bluetooth dongle and the Xbox series X controller I already have it's fantastic for single player slightly older games I enjoy.

with the rx 570 that thing will go BOOM
yeah, i mean it

Well man, it’s very interesting because I’ve done the same. Very similar thing to my Hp Z440 build that was how much I spend

HP z440 desktop $104.99

CPU Xeon E5-2667 v3 $13.75

16GB DDR4 ram $29.99

Kingston 480GB A400 SATA 3 2.5 $23.99

I use the same graphics card HP, GTX 1060 3GB for $50 that I bought from a guy on Facebook marketplace then the Rx580 4GB I found it way cheaper from another guy in marketplace outside my city and only cost me this much $35
So in total was
$209.69 it would’ve been 224.69 if I kept the GTX 1060 I mean, I still have it. It’s just I replaced it with that. 😅

Hey i need some help, i am looking for a good 600$ to 700 $ gaming pc

I bought a HP Z240 one for 110 USD, has E3-1240 V6, Quadro P2000, 16 GB 2666 DDR4, and 512 GB NVMe SSD. I gotta say it's pretty good, I only play Euro Truck and Forza, ETS2 is locked at 60 FPS 1080 high, Forza is at around 100 FPS 1080p low.

Anyone watching this, as of july 7th 2024 the rx 480 8gb is like $50-$60 on ebay, if you can find a pc with similar specs to Zach's and chuck a 480 into it instead of the 1060 3gb you may see better performance in some games and you will be able to run games that require more VRAM to start.

Does anybody know what type of motherboard that case uses? I'm thinking of getting this as a starter pc then upgrading/turning it into a sleeper later

That sounds expensiv for a 1060 3 gb..

The price on the workstation is crazy. That deal is no longer available :,(

dude for 31000 pkr or 111 usd i got a dell precision t3610 with xeon(3 gGHz) cpu wich has a 10 mb cache 4 cores 4threads 8gb of 16000 mhz ram a 256 gb ssd and a 500 gb hdd and a r5 430 2gb ddr5 also the mother board has 8 ram slots ans an 885 watt 80+ powersupply
😀😀

That $109 PC is better than my $234 pc 💀

My friend have same specs pc he buy PKR 60,000 ($215)
Pretty decent pc for budget gamers

"7:55 very nice 69 fps"

lol I skipped too far past the sponsor

I have been waiting for this video for so long I have the same z230 workstation and now finally he will tell me the best way to upgrade it I have that weird hobby I don't change my PC until I fully upgraded and now I get my favorite TEC YouTuber with my side so let's start

Cool find!

Making love with my gf for every like 😊
