Great explanation, markets and value vary greatly between regions. Me living in the middle of nowhere, no MSY nearby, I'm so thankful for eBay and AliExpress deals! The, mostly, free shipping is something easily overlooked.
I do my best to cover the good and bad so you have a good idea of what you're getting, but there is always room for improvement, so that's something for me to work on also. I think we are the cusp of first generation Ryzen becoming really attractive for budget builds, even in other markets.
There are definitely Xeon CPUs with terrific value, but there are also many that are poor value, especially all the unlocked models and most higher clocked versions, they cost too much IMO.
The E5-2689 is really an outliner and has managed to stay at around USD 50, which I find quite amazing. Cheap DDR3 Registered ECC memory is where most of the savings is, but that doesn't show that much if you're going with a 8GB RAM kit. In my last video with the 2630V2 I went with 32GB as it's only ~ USD 60 and you might as well take advantage of that.

😒 i just came from Central America, nothing has improved! 😡 Desktop PC Parts are rare and way overpriced, there is no competition, 500 cordobas for a Core2Duo CPU & $35 for a Core2Quad CPU, there is no competition and few parts so ur gona get ripped off really badly, and if u bring desktop parts in ur luggage Aduana Customs is going to sieze it at the Airport, forcing u to go to Aduana within 21 days to pay Taxes, in my case they charged me $40 Documentation Fee + $20 for each pc part, regardless if the used old pc part costed me 5 dollars or 30 dollars for each part, its a real fkn ripoff. My total import tax was $150 dollars for 3 video cards and 3 power supplies, like WTF! 😡 Tech Yes City Gringo is fkn clueless, he doesnt get it, most of the third world is really fkn messed up with Governments ripping off Airline Passengers flying into their airports, i like to see him try flying into a Central America or South America Airport with luggages filled to the brim with Used PC Desktop Parts, hes gona get a rude awakening when Aduana gives him an Import Duty Tax Bill of a $1000 dollars, what ends up happening is the passenger refusing to pay the tax and Aduana siezing all ur sh_t!!!! 😡

HI! im a big fan from the philippines. its hard here finding parts from used market especially xeons. i am planning to buy from aliexpress. im interested in x3440 and e5 2420 v2 builds that you made. i cant find any video comparing x3440 vs e5 2420 v2 paired with rx570-580 or gtx 1060. Thank you for these very helpful videos. Keep it up.

I have a 1400 and it's rare cpu for Ryzen chips as they never really dropped the price any (under $100) new on them in the states as https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-1400/p/N82E16819113437 as maybe they didn't make many of them so $61 is a steal to me .

Diminishing return is the main issue , as cost goes up your return on invest rent drop ! There is a sweet spot on diminishing return and the grassroots market try to stay in that sweet spot

The hardware elitists are very annoying in how rigid they are about all of this. Steve may be the worst though. Whether its old xeons prebuilts or 75w graphic cards: they basically will never acknowledge there are valid use cases for any of them.

They will always say there's no point in getting x over y because x is really a better value and your stupid to argue otherwise. Well according to that logic you there's no point in getting less than an RX 570, a ryzen 5, 8gb ddr4, a b450 and a 500w 80+ psu. Add a case hdd and windows and your at 500+ us dollars which could more like 700 if you are in a nation with bad pricing or 20+% vat taxes.

For an average us citizen who gets around 2000 take home pay a month that's 25% of a months take-home pay which is not insubstantial. But then look at people employed part time, people making minimum wage people living on disability full time students teenagers etc etc and it's a very substantial amount of money for them. And that's in America not even places where incomes are actually much lower where they may only make 500$ in a month or less.

And on top of that there's actual use case where if you only really play esports like mobas csgo FIFA StarCraft etc your paying for much more than you need to get 1080p 60fps and even less if a you have is a 720p or any other older monitor.

But nope paying 1/2 as much for Xeon platform or throwing 75w card In your old office PC for 150$ / finding an old prebuilt and upgrading these are niches that don't make sense and it's really dishonest to recommend anyone do so! Look I benchmarked with a 2080ti to prove it!

The Android Arena says:

pair the xeon with RX 570 and please it would be really great if you share the video editing experience on this combo! Btw Great explanation!

Youtube Surfer says:

I really like these videos about old tech to see how the performance is today. But would i really recommend this old stuff to a friend? I dont think so. Thats old stuff without warrenty that can go downhill any minute and no upgrade path later if the money is no more a problem. Buy cheap and you buy twice.

Mitch Mckeiver says:

Some people get so anal about advice and treat it like it's a written in stone fact. Xeons and RX570's are right up there with the best price performance parts you could ever buy in Aus.
