I got a CRAZY deal on this USED PC!

okay so today's video is going to be a

bit different from the kind of stuff

that I normally do today we're going to

be talking about use PCS and I'm going

to go on Facebook Marketplace I'm going

to find one I'm going to buy it we're

going to go over it we're going to talk

about things to do with a use system

ways to protect yourself things to

consider and then we're going to see

whether or not I actually got a good

deal spoiler alert I already found one

and I already got it so hopefully I

didn't just poof money Into Thin

Air we interrupt this video to bring you

a special message from iFix it no we

interrupt this Interruption with this

Interruption about new stuff from my fix

it P you in the graphics card but

inventory sucks fix the inventory

problems with I fix it wo don't drop it

can't fix that with I fix it just

kidding yes you can wish you could take

I fix it with you anywhere but your

pockets aren't big enough introducing

the new moare and a new minnow take them

with you

anywhere so get iix it for your loved

one or just get them for

yourself so this is the one I actually

found and got local to me it says it's a

it's an omen 30 L gaming I like how it's

Tech ially 30 30 l or whatever I think

that's what the L stands for but anyway

it's an omen PC which is actually the HP

gaming brand um but one of one of the

things I like about the omen PCS I've

never looked at one in person this will

be my first time looking at one but the

fact that it um it uses like standard

off the-shelf Parts whereas some of the

issues with like Alienware and Dell and

other some other gaming companies that

are from part of like big companies like

d and HP in the past is they would have

like proprietary motherboards or weird

layouts and things that are not standard

so if you ever needed to fix or replace

or upgrade something you couldn't do it

because it was just not offthe shelf

type parts and that's what this

particular Omen is now you'll see here

it says sold they had initially listed

for $850 they put on here 750 spoiler

alert I got it for 400 so I did one of

those like I threw out a low ball they

took it we met up I talked to him

yesterday met up today we now have it

we'll be taking a look at it let's talk

about the specs here so it's an AMD

ryzen 5 5600 G so it's a am4 board which

is is using 5000 series uh ryzen which

is new enough to be perfectly fine for

pretty much any title it's not a super

like low-end CPU like a 5400g or

anything like that the 5600 even though

it has an igpu so has plenty of

performance when it comes to CPU but

we're not using the igpu because it

actually has an RTX 3060 in there here

it is right here you can see the RTX

3060 it might just be kind of a No Name

non-branded bulk sale that companies

like HP and Dell and alien weere buy so

may not even show like an MSI logo or

whatever it may be but it's still an RTX

3060 it's just a no FRS version which is

perfectly fine now I wanted to know

whether or not that was actually going

to be a decent deal because the other

stuff we have in here obviously it's Ram

is a hyperx 16 GB I put XMP but I don't

put the speed but anyway it's 16 GB of

ddr4 in dual Channel they RGB sticks I

can see that we have two channels so

that means we're not dealing with a

single 16 gig stick which in single

channel would have really sucked but

again when it comes to price pring I

wanted to see how we were doing here so

I went to Amazon and I put in a the

cheapest RTX 30 I 3060 I could find

which was

$299 so as you can see we're already can

I build the rest of the system for 100

bucks the answer is no cuz it also has a

1 tab SSD don't know if it's nvme I

don't know if it's SATA doesn't really

matter at this point cuz the drive is

something we're going to talk about on

used computers but obviously we still

have a power supply in here we still

have Ram we still have the case and we

have storage

because once I put in the 5600 G which

is

$137 on Prime on Amazon my cart total is

already at

$437 so as you can see for 400 bucks I

got a hell of a deal here so one of the

ways I got the deal was I actually

started talking to them yesterday well I

messaged them yesterday on Marketplace

messenger didn't get any responses

looked at a few other systems was

actually intending to drive into LA

today to buy a different system which is

a little bit higher spec previous gen it

was like a 20 I think it had RTX 280 in

there which would have been a f faster G

GPU than a 3060 but I had a much slower

CPU at a 9700 9700 nonk so that's a

ninth gen Intel which it now definitely

starts showing its age especially

without it being an overclocking

CPU they got back to me late last night

that's when I offered the five and they

were like okay and then today I did the

whole oh I found a better deal are you

willing to take four and they were like

well will you do that for just the tower

cuz if we look at the listing they also

say here comes with a Logitech LED

keyboard and a Logitech g502 hero Mouse

so the mouse alone has some value the

g502 is a very popular Mouse and it has

32 GB of ddr4 hyperx included which is

basically just two more sticks of the

same Ram I don't want to run four sticks

of ram so I wanted to keep the price

down here are the pictures of those

peripherals that we didn't take right so

there's the Logitech keyboard there's

the mouse so by basically saying I don't

care about getting the peripherals or

the extra Ram uh at 400 bucks gave us an

incredible deal if they would have taken

500 even for the extra Ram they wouldn't

have been worth it cuz I can get 16 GB

of RAM for less than 100 bucks now they

would be mismatched kits but I'd much

rather have two sticks tme 32 GB 2 16

gig sticks rather than having uh four

sticks which I know gives us trouble

when it comes to booting and running XMP

or docp profiles when it comes to four

sticks R anyway I already got it already

picked it up it's over there in the test

area let's go take a look at it so here

it is right here um you can see all the

offthe shelf stuff it's a microatx board

it is an nvme SSD 1 tbyte right there

it's a Cooler Master 500 W power supply

in fact let me take the side off um this

is the case as you can see plenty of

ventilation I guess e we had to do some

cleaning one of the things you have to

deal with on a used system uh I do

happen to know they kept this system

down near the carpet so just based on

the photos it looks like this was an

under desk system that's why that bottom

fan looks so gross so in terms of

cooling it's pulling an air through

these vents on the side side right here

and then I think we have an exhaust fan

on the top and one on the back do we

have one on the top nope none on the top

it's actually fairly clean inside I've

never taken a look at an omen

PC

smoker just thought I'd point that out

real quick we got some cleaning we got

to do we have a proprietary plug of some

sort right here I don't know what this

is for that's there um so here's our Ram

right here so you can see it's our

hyperx fury it's RGB 30 733 that's an

interesting speed I'm not going to take

anything out right now I actually want

to make sure it works before we go

cleaning it the reason why I'm saying

that is because if I go cleaning it

messing around with it and then

something doesn't work I don't know if

I'm oops necessarily the one that caused

the problem sometimes when people are

really willing to be like oh yeah hell

hell yeah I'll take a I'll discount it

nearly 50% over my initial asking price

that can sometimes be because they're

hiding something or they just want to

quickly get rid of it take whatever cash

they can now I asked the guy I said so

why are you upgrading and he didn't

recognize me which was already a great

sign for me it really was cuz I don't

want to have like oh you got a special

deal because of who you are the guy

didn't know who I was uh anyway he said

he upgraded to a custom built makes

sense a lot of people buy an all-in-one

like this they get bitten by the bug and

then they upgrade it's not an uncommon

story so let me just plug everything in

right here and make sure it works I will

not be plugging anything into the

internet then we'll talk about safety

when it comes to used PCS like this cuz

the point here was to see can I find a a

super deal as someone that has

admittedly lost contact with reality a

little bit because of being surrounded

by this stuff all

right turned on the omen lights up

that's

neat as you can see it's also a box

cooler type style for um HP Omen it says

Omen on it but essentially it's the

super basic like wraith cooler oh hey

got an image that's good Windows is

there if their information's on there

take the drive out entirely in my

opinion is just a moment this might be a

first time setup if that is that means

he went in here and reset Windows which

should tell me we're dealing with

someone already that knows a little bit

more than the average person when it

comes to selling a used

computer but I have an important piece

of safety information even if Windows is

installed and it looks like it's a first

time setup

Etc I would personally not use the drive

supplied with it for multiple multiple

reasons one nvmes are cheap enough now

to where you can find yourself yeah they

did do the outof boox experience which

you can use to set up the system my

major reason for saying this you never

know if there's key loggers or something

installed I feel a little bit confident

right now with this system going ahead

and going through the first time

setup I know what to look for when it

comes to whether or not someone's put

something on the system to try and spoof

your information or key log or whatever

um you'd be surprised what people will

do to try and steal identity but I would

never trust a system that boots right

into Windows and is sitting at a desktop

without you going through this user

experience you never know what's present

so that's why if it had a if it had

windows on there that went right to the

desktop without this first time setup I

probably would have like gone the route

of taking the drive out uh or doing a

fresh install of Windows and formatting

that drive from the start just to make

sure that nothing is on there that's

nefarious so you're going to notice some

extra steps on this anyway if it was a

pre-built system from like HP or Dell or

Alienware or whatever they have very

specific Windows versions for them that

allow them to do extra stuff like Ping

to register your device or whatever the

previous page to this one said do I want

to register with HP it was optional I

said no but now I can uncheck this HP

stuff this makes me feel a little bit

more confident about this version of

Windows because of the fact that means

it's probably DRM to this motherboard it

also means if we go around change

changing any hardware we probably will

unregister our Windows which means we'd

have to buy a key now fortunately

there's a lot of key not generators I

that sounds very like scammy there's

lots of websites out there where you can

get like unused keys for like 20 bucks

right they're legit keys and stuff I've

never worked with any of those Brands I

know a lot of people highly believe in

them and all lot of my own commenters

have said dude you can get a Windows key

for like 15 bucks that's totally legit

Etc you can look into those options if

you want to wipe the DRM version of

Windows off of this um anyway we're

doing updates right now it's a

completely different update window to

normally when you see Windows updates

happening on a new install uh it happens

in the background but because this is

designed to be like an outof boox user

experience for an oem like HP in this in

this case it's very inyour face about

what's happening so now we have no

choice but just sort of sit here and

wait while the system updates itself but

one thing I want to talk about real

quick I have a feeling this is not the

original Ram that came with the system I

think he upgraded the ram only because

it seems odd to me that everything in

here is basic like and this in this case

black pcbs but basically green

PCB No Frills type of Hardware that's

supplied to companies like HP and Dell

and stuff but I have a feeling he added

more RAM to this it may have initially

been an 8 GB system or potentially a 16

GB system of just boring RAM and he

wanted lighting or something and so he

put RGB lights in there I find it hard

to believe that HP would put RGB Ram in

there and then just let it RGB like this

now it's very possible that that's

actually the way it went down I don't

know that I haven't searched what the

current HP Omen systems and stuff look

like but that's what's in this one what

I'm happy about this I've already said

it multiple times and I'll say it again

it's a standard microatx layout it's got

the same 369 screw holes I have a

feeling though this one is going to give

us some pretty solid performance for the

money you got to remember yeah it's a

5600 G nothing really to write home

about it's a 3060 easily one of the more

popular gpus that has replaced the 1060

as the popular GPU again nothing super

super worth riding home about but you

can't really buy one for under 300 bucks

new right now so that makes this one

hell of a deal all right enough talking

let's just uh wait and see how long this

is going to take all right so all the

updates are done I've not blown out any

of the dust or anything so far I want to

see how things are identifying

themselves make sure the specs are what

they're supposed to be okay so it is a

ryzen 5600 G as stated GPU is an RTX 360

and then our Ram we have 16 GB running

at 3200 mehz

so I I think it feels like a pretty

solid deal so far everything is what it

said it's supposed to be oh and then the

disc is a 1 TB Western Digital it's an

SN 530 couple of things I would probably

recommend to um prior to buying a used

system try and see proof of it running

they posted pictures of it on like I

said it lit up they didn't show a screen

of it on to be even then that that

picture could be faked it could be

something else plugging like a laptop

plugged into a screen to look like it's

on but saw it powered on that was good

enough for me um I was also personally

willing to take the risk but I always

would promote like hey can you take a

quick video of it on like on your cell

phone or something and like have a piece

of paper with your name on it or

something the name of whoever the sales

post is so you can see it's real and on

and running most of the posts I found

did include videos on their postings of

the system on this one did not however

um but it seemed uh it almost seem too

good to be true at the original 750

actually they originally wanted $850 and

then 750 it would not have been a good

deal I could have built the system with

brand new parts probably for cheaper

than that but now as you saw what I got

it for that would have been absolutely

impossible our updates are done um now

I'm just going to go through and make

sure like my drivers are correct and all

of that um I'm going to blow out some of

this dust take the front glass off which

just has a screw right here on the

bottom blow out this dust and get as

much of it off as I can then we'll take

a look at how the temperatures are and

stuff like that I guess at that point

we'll just play a game or two on on here

and see how it does all right so I'm

taking off the GPU Mount here real quick

has the world's biggest GPU mount for a

world's smallest GPU but as you can see

it does have this mount it screws into

one of the motherboard you see right

there one of the motherboard slots and

then one of the mother uh case slot

holes and then two locator pins and then

the GPU can just slide along that based

on it being a bigger or smaller GPU

that's nice to see um otherwise you get

this wobble which might have a problem

with surviving Transit but I want to

take the GPU out right now cuz I want to

see what it looks like look at that just

a little basic little basic 3060 you can

definitely tell was a smoker's house

though cuz all the fans are coated in

brown so dirt tends to fly off tar smoke

tends to get sticky which is why the

dust is stick to it so looking on eBay

there's one of these cards for 185 but

here's one for 400 here's one for

$888 new open box wait that that's

contradictory 3 $39

$370

$400 what you could put literally any

3060 in

here so like basically I paid for just

this then I got all that for free if we

take that into into consideration we

should not that that pricing is

absolutely ridiculous you can buy use

3060 and put it in here you put it you

could upgrade to a 4060 and put it in

here if you want you have to use a

adapter and 500 W power supply would be

plenty but you'd have to use the adapter

still um anyway here's the other m.2

cover right here which that cover that

GPU support sort of covers we can put

another 50 5502 Drive in here if we

wanted which is just the full length

right there this is also built in

Wireless and then they have the ant

which is a mini SATA slot and then it

has the antennas run up here to the

corners of the case uh right here you

can actually see it here they are one

there and one there they got the little

directors on there kind of neat actually

all right let me we put this back

together let's start doing some gaming

and some benchmarking on it I don't know

I just wanted to activate the docp or

the 3733 for this save changes cancel

there we go so here's our main menu it

looks so weird where does it show our

memory speed

at

configuration language

virtualization it's very basic for

obvious reasons we may not even be able

to no we don't have any access to

anything yeah it's possible he upgraded

the ram like I thought because I would

really kind of find it hard that HP Omen

would put 3733 MHz Ram in this and then

not have a way to enable it so one of

the things I'm doing too because it's a

pre-built uh especially from a big

company like HP is uninstalling maffy

cuz maafi is reinstalled in here so I'm

using Revo uninstaller to make sure that

we get all traces of maffy out of here I

did a whole video about that um in

typical fashion after I did the video

there were so many downloads that took

away the free version It's back up now

so if you waited you can go back and get

it now um it's I'm not going to put a

link I always forget but I think the

title was something like everyone needs

this free piece of software and I

uploaded it like eight videos ago or

something like that so just look at my

history and you'll see it you can use

this it definitely uh makes life easy

when it comes to getting rid of bloat

Weare okay systems updated drivers are

updated bloatware is removed Defender is

turned off uh we can now give our get

ourselves a pretty good idea of uh where

this computer CPU is landing so what

we're looking for according to Tech

PowerUp um I don't know what kind of

cooler they were using on this but

anyway a 5600 G should be landing around

10,800 so let's see what we've got what

we've got right here anyway I'm looking

for temps right here on the package

what's it going to shoot up to initially

65 67 68 69 70 72

73 74 not

bad we're boosting up to 4.1 GHz on all

course that's about right for the 5,000

series we're so used to seeing 5,000

mahz on everything these days that 4,000

seems wrong but that's correct it's

about 4.1 GHz for the CPU and if it

lands anywhere near 10,800 anywhere in

the 10,000 range I'll be happy be honest

with is it a b cooler I don't know maybe

this is where that $17 cooler might come

in handy it's unfortunately this case

doesn't allow you access on the backside

to be able to get to the backs side of

the motherboard for a bracket so to

install that cooler I'd have to take

everything out which is a downside of

that that's why I'm not doing it

otherwise I might have thrown it on here

already and been like I got such a deal

on the tower I might as well put a

better cooler on here just for longevity

and whatnot but I think it's such a low

watt part it's like 80 something Watts

that this cooler should be just fine

10,093 okay so it's about 800 points are

so shy from where like probably with a

better motherboard and a better cooler

and everything on it where it should

land I think that's actually not so bad

I I think that is within enough margin

of error to say okay it's performing

where it should probably could use some

better thermal paste more than likely

than what it might be using whatever is

pre-applied on those cooler blocks which

are like the screen printed uh thermal

paste better Pace might help but this

tells me it's running and boosting

frequency wise to where it should I'm

going to install hell divers I know hell

divers is not an incredibly demanding

game this is a perfect example of

someone that maybe doesn't have a

console but they've heard all of the

hype about hell divers they want to get

a PC they want to play it this thing was

such a deal if can play it at all at a

reasonable frame rate frame rate and

maintain 60 FPS plus I will be 100%

happy so let's see what we got so you

can see right there 63 on the GPU at 98%

usage 62 on the CPU at 31% usage so

that's why we're going to see that 4.3

GHz fluctuate all over the place oh it's

already at

1440 I would go to 1080 for this

honestly there we go 98 FPS in 1080P

Graphics texture quality everything's on

high look at that except for medium on

object detail so right now while it's

loading in the drop the FPS is all over

the place cuz the CPU right now look at

the CPU temp 84 92

95 the CPU right now it's like a it's

like it's literally doing that trying to

load the world there we go see look now

we're

fine CPU is

like look at this 78 FPS 77 79 remember

we're still on high settings with a

couple of things at

medium this PC is very capable of

spreading democracy we are staying

pretty

well on our uh FPS here look at this 70s

and 80s I'll freaking take

it anyway I'm going to get on out of

here guys I think we've uh I think we've

already established right now that this

computer was one hell of a buy at 400

bucks and the moral of this video is

that the deals are out there you just

have to look for them um it I was a

little discouraged cuz I spent days

actually most of this week looking for

for deals and I wasn't finding anything

cuz initially this was a terrible deal

the first price they wanted was 50 bucks

and at some point they had lowered the

price to 750 and even at 750 with those

peripherals that would not have been a

good deal for this system at all I could

have bought it built it new and had some

money left over but as soon as they were

willing to to even at 500 bucks this

would have still been an amazing deal

because I was at $437 in my Amazon cart

with just the GPU and the CPU no

motherboard no memory no power supply no

storage in no case there's no way I

could have come anywhere near building

this system for 500 bucks and it's in

pretty damn good shape now that doesn't

mean everyone's going to find this kind

of a deal uh but it does mean that they

do exist out there and because I live in

the greater LA area there's lotss of

opportunity here in terms of lots of

people selling stuff couple of things

that we could do like without even

having to upgrade our power supply we

could go from a 3060 to a 3070 or 3070

TI sell this thing probably for 200

bucks no problem just like that based on

how much 360s are still going for and be

able to pick up a 3070 for 400 bucks so

a $200 upgrade puts us at $600 all in

didn't have to change anything would

have a 3070 in here so it's it's pretty

actually I think you can get a 3070 Ed

in the $350 range so and and that's

before you even had to touch the power

supply we could still put a better uh

CPU in here if we needed to this

motherboard would support up to like a

5800 x no problem we would just we might

have to upgrade the power supply at that

point cuz it has a four pin plugged into

the 8 Pin EPS I don't know if this power
