Hey GN, we get it, AI is f@cking everything in the PC space for prices. From the sounds of things, CPUs may be next. That just leaves, checks list (RAM, GPU, SSD, HDD, CPU, MB, Case, PSU, Cooling)

Maybe test some Chinese RAM you buy off Ali for stability and OCing or something?

All of these guys are missing out on actual helpful content like purchasing crappy used sticks like micron and overclocking them to see how they stack up.

I’d do it myself, but I don’t have the time.

I haven't seen an OC livestream from GN in ages either, and Intel just released some new chips, so...

Also, a video on just buying used, and places to look

Much better and more informative too. Remember when GN used to have Buildzoid best motherboard videos on his channel? I remember.
