I Took a BIG Risk on a $120 Gaming PC...Here's What Happened (Best Buddies Build)

Описание: I bought an 8-year-old gaming PC from a friend for $120 and gave it a full modern upgrade — cleaning, rebuilding, installing new hardware, improving airflow, and finally benchmarking it to see what it can still do in 2025. After that, I listed it and sold it for a profit.

This system was originally built years ago and still ran fine, but it definitely needed some love. In this video I take it apart, deep clean the components, apply fresh thermal paste, improve cable management, install upgraded parts, and test gaming performance.
