Upgrade My PC Please! Episode 2: The Potato Race

[Violet Violence]

I think Reggie deserves it, that pc gets so much love and care put into it and bad luck seems to keep it bogged down so it'd be great to see Reggie rocking again!

 

[Wakaranai]

Man, make me feel like my pc doesn't suck nearly as bad as I thought 20 minutes ago. And it's missing the lock on its pci-e 3.0 and one of the fans on my gpu doesn't spin haha!

Gl guys, if you don't win I'm not sure how many of you will actually be able to run the rainbow 6 siege copy if they give it out again..

I think that Brayden should win this upgrade pack. Oldy McOld is SHAWly on its final days and out of all of the proposed potatoes, Brayden's PC is the most lacking in terms of hardware. The G4560 should be able to breathe new life into Oldy McOld and the fact that Brayden will end up with a Z270 motherboard will provide him with the motivation needed to further upgrade this PC down the line. The GTX1050 will do wonders for gaming and hopefully broaden the scope of games that Brayden can play! Lastly the A400 SSD will ensure that Oldy McBeast remains snappy throughout all the abuse thrown towards it. Getting the new hardware will surely encourage Brayden to tidy up his setup and maintain it well, I'd urge him to save up for an aftermarket cooler ASAP. All the best, Brayden!

I would have to go with reggie he needs that sweet ryzen for his work.That been said good luck to others may the best potato win.

Oldy McOld please the man is still using DDR2 RAM.
Out with the old and in with Newdy McNew, I'll show myself out

 

[Jamal Tariq]

They were all proper gaming PCs in their time.

 

[Hellraiser78]

Good luck to you and Good luck to me :^)

 

[moonmarauder]

It wasn't an easy choice. It's hard to vote for just one, but I feel like Ryan deserves to win

 

[GoraNZ]

The answer to everyone of these old PC's seems to be .. get a new Ryzen CPU, MB and DDR4 RAM .. might have to enter my potato next week

 

[BraydenanAussie]

Voted for Oldy McOld because it's the PC with the highest need of an upgrade and one where the owner doesn't seem to have the funds for one. I can't even imagine what using that PC is like, let alone gaming on it, and with the new components that system's going to be like going from the darkest night to the brightest day, in usage.

If Brayden does win, I just hope he learns to clean it every once in awhile haha. Good luck mate!

Yes, I just hadn't bothered since those air can sprayer things are getting so expensive but I will probably go out and get one soon.

 

[PromethBastard]

I wonder what's grown inside that dust..

Go look at Bryan from "Tech Yes City" on youtube and his how I clean my PC parts video .. its pretty cool and once you coat everything in CRC the dust stops sticking to the parts.

Dude you don't need a fancy can of air, you can even use a vacuum cleaner! Just do it carefully and without fan connected/spinning. Air compressor, garden blower, vacuum cleaner, anything like that can do the job.

 

[Wizzaxx]

Good luck people

 

[Navid V]

Good luck to these contestants. I entered my pc but now I feel like mine is way more overkill than the rest of these.

[Medlyn]

Harder to choose this week Good luck guys !

 

[Kirkjohnson]

Voted for gramps, as I feel it would be a nice all around pc with that ryzen 1600. That said, all of those poor systems are in need of an update, so no matter who wins you are doing good, Steve!

 

[Simba]

[Kumarjit]

Good Luck to all those who entered in the 2nd episode. My vote is with Ryan's Dortmunder PC

 

[NG Gamer]

Gramps and Reggie desperately need to be upgraded.

 

[HimymCZe]

[Igor Rebenko]
