Upgrade My PC Please! Episode 2: The Potato Race

[Diabolik707]

All those potatoes deserve some lovin', but I had to choose, and choose I did. Good luck everyone!

 

[James Clubb IV]

Wish all these guys could get a proper upgrade. Good luck to them all!

 

[Fudgsicle]

Good luck to this weeks contestant!



Kinda hope my pc gets into a future episode, and hey maybe even if I can get that 4tb hdd, which I very much need more storage, I'll be quite happy(if I win the hdd does that not allow me then to be a possible contestant?)

 

[kdel405675]

Brayden definitely needs an upgrade. Should be able to get the PC to run with better productivity when upgrading from that measly 2GB ddr2 RAM and new cpu

 

[marc3ll]

Mcold needs a revamp, cuz that will never run crysis xD , 2GB of DDR2 RAM is such a inhumane way to be tortured ...Make it sthap ... ---> Brayden will know haha

 

[chickenAvo]

You couldn't make it at least a little bit easier to choose a winner could you?

 

[Ownster]

It was a pretty easy choice especially when Brayden has the worst specs in the bunch.

 

[John Kramps]

Clean out Oldy McOld's CPU heatsink an double it's framerate from 5fps to 10fps.

 

[NicholasNolan]

Goodluck brayden! You really deserve an upgrade

 

[jeff witt]

Well I fell for the guy with the 8350, as I as well suffer from that, but I say reggie needs the most love

 

[XenosTech]

May these potatoes become super powers yams

 

[Pedro Alejandro]

I think reggie should win this upgrade, but best luck to all of them!!

 

[kingjeff]

I'm starting to think my pc is overqualified for this. Lmao

 

[Edison1]

Good Luck to everyone!

Hello all.

Here are my thoughts about the computers shown in this episode:
Ryan ‘Dortmunder’ from the US
This computer is good enough for now. Upgrade would be good but not critical.

Brayden ‘Oldy McOld’ from Australia
The layout of the motherboard in the picture doesn't match any P5K motherboard in the Asus site (unless I missed something), so the entire spec could be wrong.

Daniel ‘Jedi's Gaming PC’ from the US
I think an upgrade to a used 8 cores FX CPU would be good enough for now, as the rest of the spec is OK.

Dom ‘Reggie’ from the UK
This PC is quite week and should be upgraded.

Calvin ‘Gramps’ from Australia
This PC is good enough in my opinion, with maybe the exception of the CPU. I would suggest buying one of those Xeon CPU which where modded from socket 771 to socket 775 and overclock it (a modded BIOS update might be required).

Good luck to everyone.

 

[LinuxFanatic]

Good luck guys!

 

[xShadoWalkeR]

I'm voting for Calvin ‘Gramps’ from Australia seems to me the best for an upgrade would probably need a new case for better cable management

 

[HDtheNatBK]

Oldy McOld for sure. The inside looks so nasty with dust everywhere and the cable management looked horrendous. TBH with you all, Oldy McOld needs a case upgrade for sure too lol. It's so ugly.

 

[Herman Mcpootis]

I'll vote for brayden on this one

 

[rubricae]

Goodluck to everyone!
Voting Reggie for some of that MITX love!

 

[Phalaxis]

Good luck to the entrants this week

 

[dunamisstudio]

Good luck to the other four, it's some tough competition this week!

 

[AdamZero]

Core 2 duo. I know that feel.

 

[Thatisdifficult]

I had a hard time time choosing between Oldy McOld, Reggie, and Gramps. I ended up picking Gramps because I think going from an Q9300 to an R5 1600 would be an incredible feeling! It would be like he just got a new PC!

Hope I'm featured in the next Video!!!
