been controversial for decades of course at an $800 billion valuation someone must like shopping there so maybe maybe the problem is us maybe it's time to try again but with a more positive attitude while their pre-builts never recovered from that disastrous launch you can still buy all kinds of PC components from the local Walmart the only question is should you right sorry sorry I've got an open mind and an open Wallet we spent $1,000 for a custom gaming PC and let me tell you I did not expect this kind of experience from Walmart just like you weren't expecting Boom the segue to our sponsor delete me add another layer to your online privacy toolkit with delete me's data removal plans and help keep your private information safe go to join delet me.com LT 20 and use code lt20 to get 20% off right out of the gate our first challenge was battling a walmart.com website that was clearly not designed with PC configuration in mind filters don't work parts are sorted in correctly and the same Marketplace in ification that is taken over the rest of online retail is on Full display here okay let's manually search AMD limit to sold by Walmart and then sort my price okay that's a little less terrible we've got a ryzen 57600 for under $200 but wait what's this sold by Newegg okay how about the 7600 X who is platinum micro that's a little weird CPUs are kind of core components and like none of these are being sold by big blue themselves so if we want a like actually from Walmart CPU we're basically stuck with this the AMD ryzen 8600 G for $190 not a terrible CPU it's currently one of the cheapest entry points into the am5 platform with six Zen 4 cores that turbo to up to 5 GHz but it's also not the one that we would recommend for a number of reasons on the plus side at least the pricing is about in line with new egg at the time of filming can't say the same for the RAM though I mean this Kingston Fury Beast kit should provide solid performance for many years to come it just sucks that I had to buy 32 gigs of it I know we are getting to the point where we might need more than that someday but 16 gigs is still enough for most games right now and having zero 16 gig ddr5 kits available when you're on a limited budget that sucks Walmart what sucks less is our motherboard the MSI Pro B6 650s Wi-Fi For Better or For Worse is a bog standard b650 board it's got decent expansion and connectivity and most importantly support for our am5 CPU fun fact by the way while Walmart stocks ddr4 memory and am4 CPUs they don't have any older am4 motherboards and then for current gen this is the cheapest one that they sell I guess they rolled back their product selection with that said this is coming together not too bad so far but it won't fire up without a power supply we settled on the MSI Meg a650 GL 80 plus gold for 86 bucks which honestly doesn't seem that bad for the price especially considering that MSI has made some pretty decent power supplies in the past and this one is fully modular it's even a little smaller than a regular ATX power supply which gives us extra room to plug in our cables once we've installed it in our case the thermal take s 200 plus TG which Speaking of oh look another part that looks like we prompted an AI with generic gaming computer there's really nothing to complain about on first glance it's a midsize Tower with support for our ATX board and a tempered glass side panel but I usually find a thing or two not to like when I build my PC so let's see if this thing holds up to closer scrutiny starting with cable management it's Bare Bones but it does exist all the corners for your cables are rounded and there's a nice little channel here where you can put all the cables for your front panel connectors and you're included four RGB fans that's a nice bonus at this price point I am not speaking of fans a fan of these little foam dots that hold up the power supply they immediately got knocked off but not a lot of extra room for the motherboard up here but we got all we need definitely a little bit of inexpensive case tolerance syndrome but once it's on there I don't think that's going anywhere wow not a lot of room for these bottom connectors here it's got a hard drive Mount and two 2 and2 in SSD mounts doesn't look amazing from this side but hey from this side not bad how much did we pay for this guy we paid $83 um okay that's not that cheap nor is our 1 T SSD cool we got a Western Digital SN 770 for 85 bucks which man it's not like this or any of the selections we've looked at are horrible but we've been burning 5 10 $20 every time we throw something into the cart yeah it's death by 1,000 Cuts all in all we've wasted about $80 total so far versus building the exact same computer with the cheapest prices I could find on the web and making matters worse that ignores the optimizations we could make if we had better parts to choose from but I have a surprise for you oh I love surprises I have one part I couldn't find for cheaper anywhere else oh awesome wait this is an a750 that's right the Predator bifrost Intel Arc a750 for $245 even if we wanted an Intel card that's nearly the MSRP of an arc b580 a way better card sure is once again we were killed by selection at the time of ordering there were only a dozen or so cards available and of those dozen all but two of them that fit in our but were over three generations old with that said I mean the a750 is pretty okay for 1080p especially now that it's had a few years of driver updates now that we've got it all installed it's time to look at the total damage for our system how much was it about $960 oh there she goes nice and she games we're at 1080p High settings I mean yeah sure it's only CS2 but it's CS2 it's not CS Source m and this is running kind of actually great I mean averages of around 160 180 FPS and we're not seeing 1% lows di below 100 and I've even got the settings actually pretty high check this out oh yeah like she's running and we could even squeeze our water resistant LTT hat Pro into the budget oh well before you get too excited we actually built a system using the same $960 is budget uh but using parts that we could get off new oh boy and so considering this has a 9600 X and A 6750 XT I'm a little bit worried for our little Walmart buddy over there but let's see how it does we'll have all the parts linked down below by the way what's that line ploof always gives comparison is the thief of Joy prepare to have no joy uh-oh this is already not going well wait oh not good okay I'm heading over there I'm heading over there let's go to the double doors my 1% lows are wacky uh uh dude double yeah we're looking at pretty much double all the time same settings I'm just over 200 FPS he's just shy of 350 oh he's over 350 yeah I took one look at that system I'm like it even looks better yeah you have a bigger case bigger cooling is it quieter too probably I mean mine's reasonable it's reasonable good job Walmart this one's better yeah and I didn't even minmax all the parts like I could have got a cheaper cooler cheaper SSD cheaper case but I got ones that I thought I would actually want for this price bracket yeah and we can't let David min max things anymore because you guys get upset because nobody deal hunts like this man well who knows maybe it's just the game move on to something else oh Final Fantasy 7 rebirth let's do it dude I have no shot okay maybe I I was a little over ambitious about what this computer can do you were definitely over ambitious about what this computer can do as bad as yours is mine's worse standing here doing nothing I'm getting 1% low dips down to 13 dude that is noticeably immediately visibly way better like way better mine doesn't seem on paper like it should be that bad but it feels chunky this feels totally fine on my side side yeah it looks totally fine on your side it does not feel fine on my side even though my FPS counter is reading the same as yours right now for this amount of money the game should run like that for this amount of money I have it running like this which you can clearly see is trashed tier Walmart Walmart Walmart and we really did do the best we could do with the selection that we had at Walmart this isn't like we've done in the past sometimes with like AliExpress or tenu where we've intentionally ordered meme stuff this it's pretty functional computer other than just the part selection the pricing being garbage warning me my Graphics driers out of date I was like did you guys not prep these oh right it's Intel that's just the kind of Errors you get when you run Intel even the loading screen you're running at Double the FPS that I am you load it faster though oh no oh no cyberp punk yeah we don't I we don't really have to Deep dive just looking at the partel as we knew this was going to happen yeah looking at your frame rates it's still oh look at that do you see that do you see that though that was sub 10 I think it's pretty safe to say about double the performance yeah pretty damn close bottom line then should you buy a gaming PC at Walmart well as wild as this is going to sound after everything you guys just saw yeah but only if you're going to buy a pre-built PC and if you carefully analyze the specs some of their discounted gaming systems are legitimately a great value and come from trusted Brands but when it comes to buying parts and assembling your own system it's clear that when we limit our choices to stuff that's sold by Walmart it is a terrible experience I mean Walmart in many cases doesn't have the best prices on walmart.com and then even once we open up the thirdparty marketplace floodgates it's still pretty underwhelming and noticeably worse than buying from Walmart's competitors not only is the website itself a mess to navigate and find parts on but from the time that we got the items approved to when we ordered which was just a few hours four of them were out of stock and then when our order arrived we had to send back our GPU due to water damage to the box so let us know what's your favorite place to buy PC parts is it Walmart you know
