oh my gosh is that a silicon-backed
monitor bro
uh yes it is um is this still about
available is it still available is this
still an airplane
capable of playing a war zone with high
fps
what's the fps gonna get on the cod this
weekend with the boys
a couple of weeks ago here at tech yes
city we were flipping our way up
with that $100 challenge and within that
video
i did a couple of setups with call of
duty
warzone backgrounds or wallpapers on the
monitors in the shots
and there's a lot of reasons for doing
this but after i did that
i noticed that a lot of people were
sending me messages and some people even
calling me up just saying
that was like some of the funniest stuff
i've seen and they were laughing at it
like the fact that it you know it does
work and it works extremely well
so today we're going to explore the
whole world
of the call of duty warzone wallpaper
and the origins of it
what's the story with it and of course
when you should be pulling off this
tactic
if you want to help sell your gaming pc
let's go in with it
with our little uh silicon
monitor here that we picked up i think
there's about 15 aussie dollars i picked
this up for 22 inch monitor
we've just got a free stand here we've
silicone that to the back of the monitor
let's check out what we've got pop a lot
in here uh hey mate um yeah
i'm actually in the market for a juicy
z490 motherboard if you're after a juicy
z490 motherboard then the asrock z490
phantom gaming itx has you covered with
thunderbolt 3
nahimic audio and addressable rgb on top
of that
juicy vrm that can power even the likes
of a 10 900k
links in description below to find out
more now the art of the wallpaper with a
gaming pc setup when you go on a flip it
dates
at least for me personally and people
locally dates back to around 2017
with the release of pub g now you're
probably thinking well wasn't it
fortnite
and no actually fortnite came after pub
g
in terms of its popularity and selling
gaming pcs it was originally pubg
that made this big splash on the pc that
started to get people over from console
which compared to a pc
can be a lot more simple which is a big
appeal of it however
pubg bringing people over to pc also
brought with it when you're trying to
sell a pc
all these questions and it came with the
can this
play pub g and it was just that was the
main question can it play pubg
or what fps does it get on pub g and
then you're left
with okay what settings what resolution
and
pretty much a lot of the times people
just want to get the cheapest thing
possible
and hope that it can play pubg and so
when we had a wallpaper
with that game on it in with a pc and a
mouse and keyboard since they were
coming over from console
it helped not only sell the whole pc but
it pretty much made a statement of
this pc can play pubg and so i found it
just
saved a lot of time when it came to
answering questions and of course you're
making a few more bucks
when you're flipping these gaming setups
as opposed to a gaming pc
but of course after that came fortnite
and this was
the massive boom where people just
wanted to play on pc in general
and i mean even though the game was
released on console it just had a lot of
people that wanted to play on mouse and
keyboard because i guess
a lot of the pro players were all mouse
and keyboard especially the pro
streamers
and so that brought with it a heap of
people wanting to buy gaming pc
so that was another trend that came
through where
it's starting to i guess fall off i get
well it's fallen off a lot
since when fortnight was in its boom
period but now
it's coming in with a war zone and the
reason it's coming in with warzone
is actually two-fold of course war zones
a lot newer
than both pubg and fortnite but also
warzone requires
quite a more powerful pc than both of
these two previous games before and i
find you're going to at least
want to get something around a gtx 770
and even a first gen i7 to get decent
fps
as opposed to pub g and a fortnight you
could get away with an i5
and in the case of fortnite you could
even get away with an i3 and still get
playable like fps
as well as fx 6300s and stuff like that
i mean the good thing about warzone
however is back on that note of fx
cpus they do play a lot better on this
game so that's one good thing that's
going for war zone is it's
optimized for multi-cores a lot better
however one of the most important things
with this setup
sort of display and having the wallpaper
there is that you've also of course
got a monitor and keyboard and mouse
that can in ways detract away from the
case and
this is i guess one of those things
where if you're on a budget especially
people
always want rgb it doesn't matter what
price point it is in general i know a
few you guys are going to be out there
and say well i don't like rgb at all
i like to keep the lights off but in
general when it comes to selling a pc
rgb and leds they sell pcs and this is
just the thing so
if you come into a situation where
you've got a budget pc you've picked the
whole thing up for 100 bucks you've
slapped a graphics card in there
but it doesn't look that good you can
add a one dollar led strip but
a lot of the times that doesn't satisfy
people enough so if you've got
a keyboard mouse and a monitor suddenly
with a flashy uh
wallpaper of the game they want to play
it suddenly detracts away
from that i guess you'd say not so
desirable
gaming pc tower itself and so this is
another big
reason for having those extra
peripherals
in the photo is that it makes the setup
more i guess ascetically pleasing
in the main photo itself and of course
people want more
generally so there's another
generalization so i'm making quite a few
generalizations
in today's video but generalizations
they're going to save you a lot of time
especially if they're backed
by experience which i guess in ways is
backed by
unverified statistics which you know
upstairs is what you correlate all the
time and so when i give advice a lot of
the times on the channel here
i'm just speaking from experience which
does in ways have those
unverified statistics and i mean you
guys can believe them or not but
over time you start to see that the yes
man starts to always give you guys that
healthy advice
to make sure that you're living a better
life the last point we're going to touch
on
with the setups themselves i'm going to
give you guys an example
is that you're adding value ultimately
when you do this so you see me on part
times i'm picking up these monitors
for maybe 30 40 recently they have gone
up in price for some reason monitors
actually
locally where i am they're being sold
out quite quickly so the prices are
going up
you're adding a lot of value when you
compare that to what people are going to
pay at a
even a budget retailer that sells a lot
of pc
parts regularly like say in australia
we've got umart in america you guys have
amazon and micro center
but when we look at those stores they're
giving some of the best value on new
parts
but when we go to the regular retailers
the guys that are just
i guess jacking up the prices more your
value on your setup starts to that
thirty forty dollar monitor you got
starts to add almost a hundred dollars
value on your setup sometimes and then
if you get a keyboard a mouse especially
if you picked up one with rgb in it
you've got it for a really good price
you can then add that into the setup and
suddenly people think
they're getting sometimes two hundred
dollars extra value
so now with that wallpaper you're doing
three things if you're doing it right
that is you're selling a mediocre
looking tower
better you're adding value and you're
saving time with questions
and you're getting straight to the point
so tech your citizens that right there
is the art of the call of duty wallpaper
and right here is our finished
masterpiece we've got the call of duty
warzone
backdrop on the monitor which really
just takes the focus
on this game right here and the fact
that your pc
can play this game so you will be saving
time as well as getting more attention
with your pc because put it this way as
we said before there's commodities
when it comes to selling a gaming pc
you've got it instant it's ready to go
it's all ready to play that game but
when you've got that backdrop there
that's like wow i can be just getting
this pc right now
and playing call of duty warzone with
the boys and that is what
you are selling now admittedly this case
actually surprised me it looked a lot
better than i thought
i think this pc on its own could sell
itself
without the monitor keyboard and mouse
and even if you want to go as far to add
a little bit more led bling
in the photo just hit the num lock the
caps lock key even the scroll lock key
to turn those leds on at the top of the
keyboard just to make it look
a little bit more bling worthy and here
it all is now with the call of duty
warzone wallpaper and i guess
the picture does sometimes speak a
thousand words
so what came to me as a joke i thought
i'd turn it into a video
and just help you guys especially if you
are trying to flip some pcs and getting
into it
and a lot of people have been messaging
me lately especially in the last month
uh just shown appreciation because i
guess they're getting into the whole
world of pc building
and it's a lot of fun when you can build
and try all these different hardware
configurations
and not lose money and that's i guess
why i started out all those years doing
it
because it could fuel that passion i
noticed when i started building a new
computer
i had this urge to build another one and
just try some different hardware out
but the problem was when you bought all
these new parts off the shelf
it was very hard to resell that stuff
without losing money
so fast forward now during 2020 and
i guess it's now become this whole
different league where
we've gone through the used flipping
cycle and now it's just an ever-changing
beast
but in terms of going forward what we
spoke about here is if you can get that
monitor
for twenty thirty 30 and a cheap
keyboard and mouse and throw it in
you can not only add value to the setup
but you can take the shift away
from a cheaper pc case that is a lot of
the times especially if you're on a
budget
it's not worth it both in time and money
to go out and get that case and then
change all the hardware over
because you're going to have to add that
cost to the build to get back the money
you spent on the case
and i mean jokes and giggles aside there
is that massive trend that's been coming
through for a few years now
and that is people are changing from
console to pc and when they do that
they a lot of the times jump off their
tv
and they want to get a monitor and also
a keyboard and mouse so having that
set up there as an option is always a
good thing and as i said earlier
those two setups that i had in the
second episode of the pc flip up
challenge
they sold like almost instantly i was
actually shocked
at how quick those two setups sold
and we made good profit on them as
opposed to the
two pc builds i've done recently i've
sold one of them and i've got another
sale lined up for the next one
but that has taken a lot longer to sell
and i'm guessing that's mainly because a
lot of people selling pcs at the moment
are just selling the pc so you've got a
lot of competition there
in that space as opposed to a setup
there's not a whole lot of people
selling
setups at the moment so i'm going to
probably put a setup up for sale and see
how it goes
anyhow all that aside i hope you guys
enjoyed this one if you did then be sure
to hit that like button for us
also let us know in the comment section
below what's your experience with
the wallpapers are you rocking a
fortnight wallpaper are you rocking a
call of duty wallpaper or are you
rocking a four guys wallpaper
or a valerant raw paper i see they're
probably the four most common i did see
someone
rocking a flight simulator wallpaper
though i mean i'm not
too sure how the flight sim is going to
sort of change the mainstream sure
microsoft flight simulator is selling
really well on the market in terms of
people playing it and adopting it
but i kind of don't see how people are
going to say oh i'm going to play
flight simulator this weekend with the
boys as opposed to
war zone which is a huge thing at the
moment where people want to play with
their mates on the weekend
and they don't have a gaming pc or the
gaming pc they had is just too slow
to play the latest cod anyhow we got the
question of the day here which comes
from sergio ortiz and they ask why does
everyone default to 3080
it's going to be called a 2180 seeing as
21 is all in the marketing so far so
2180 2170 etc
and the 21 thing i mean
that would make sense if nvidia hasn't
stopped
production completely of the 2000 series
because of stock production the 2000
series
i would only see them introducing the
2180 and all that stuff
if they were continuing to sell the 2000
series because
the numbering scheme wouldn't be that
big of a jump
and it would be still allow people to
say okay the numbers aren't too much
different
i can go and get an rtx 2000 card still
and it's still going to be good
so them stopping the rtx 2000 series
basically in my mind
means that they're going to be calling
the rtx 3000 series because it's a big
leap
in the numbering scheme and nvidia are
very smart they want to sell graphics
cards and i feel like rtx 3000
would sell a lot better than 21 in that
particular naming scheme so
at the end of the day i always analyze
things as
they're a business they're a publicly
traded company so they're going to do
best for what makes them money not just
for them as a company but also for the
shareholders so basically answer that
question i think it will definitely be
the 3000 series though i could be wrong
hope that answers that question and if
you guys have stayed this far
then be sure to hit that sub button and
ring that bell and i'll catch you in
another tech video very soon
peace out for now bye
