1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,359
we have looked at some very disappointing computers from Walmart but

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:11,080
then again what do you expect from a company that's been controversial for

3
00:00:07,639 --> 00:00:13,120
decades of course at an $800 billion

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:18,439
valuation someone must like shopping there so maybe maybe the problem is us

5
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:23,039
maybe it's time to try again but with a more positive attitude while their

6
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,679
pre-builts never recovered from that disastrous launch you can still buy all

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:34,320
kinds of PC components from the local Walmart the only question is should you

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:40,280
right sorry sorry I've got an open mind and an open Wallet we spent

9
00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:42,879
$1,000 for a custom gaming PC and let me

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:48,320
tell you I did not expect this kind of experience from Walmart just like you

11
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:51,199
weren't expecting Boom the segue to our

16
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,200
off right out of the gate our first challenge was battling a walmart.com

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,880
website that was clearly not designed with PC configuration in mind filters

18
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:29,520
don't work parts are sorted in correctly and the same Marketplace in ification

19
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:36,640
that is taken over the rest of online retail is on Full display here okay

20
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,360
let's manually search AMD limit to sold

21
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:42,439
by Walmart and then sort my price okay

22
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:49,600
that's a little less terrible we've got a ryzen 57600 for under $200 but wait

23
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:53,719
what's this sold by Newegg okay how

24
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:56,119
about the 7600 X who is platinum micro

25
00:01:53,719 --> 00:02:01,880
that's a little weird CPUs are kind of core components and like none of these

26
00:01:58,759 --> 00:02:05,200
are being sold by big blue themselves so

27
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:08,080
if we want a like actually from Walmart

28
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:14,280
CPU we're basically stuck with this the AMD ryzen 8600 G for

29
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:15,800
$190 not a terrible CPU it's currently

30
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:22,120
one of the cheapest entry points into the am5 platform with six Zen 4 cores

31
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,040
that turbo to up to 5 GHz but it's also

32
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:28,200
not the one that we would recommend for a number of reasons on the plus side at

33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,120
least the pricing is about in line with new egg at the time of filming

34
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:37,239
can't say the same for the RAM though I mean this Kingston Fury Beast kit should

35
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:43,120
provide solid performance for many years to come it just sucks that I had to buy

36
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,239
32 gigs of it I know we are getting to

37
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:51,280
the point where we might need more than that someday but 16 gigs is still enough

38
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,560
for most games right now and having zero

39
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:58,800
16 gig ddr5 kits available when you're on a limited budget that sucks Walmart

40
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:05,040
what sucks less is our motherboard the MSI Pro B6 650s Wi-Fi For Better or For

41
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:07,000
Worse is a bog standard b650 board it's

42
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:12,599
got decent expansion and connectivity and most importantly support for our am5

43
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:19,560
CPU fun fact by the way while Walmart stocks ddr4 memory and am4 CPUs they

44
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:25,080
don't have any older am4 motherboards and then for current gen this is the

45
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:29,560
cheapest one that they sell I guess they

46
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,560
rolled back their product selection

47
00:03:29,959 --> 00:03:37,239
with that said this is coming together not too bad so far but it won't fire up

48
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:44,000
without a power supply we settled on the MSI Meg a650 GL 80 plus gold for 86

49
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:48,080
bucks which honestly doesn't seem that bad for the price especially considering

50
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:52,439
that MSI has made some pretty decent power supplies in the past and this one

51
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,519
is fully modular it's even a little smaller than a regular ATX power supply

52
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:01,640
which gives us extra room to plug in our cables once we've installed it in our

53
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:05,040
case the thermal take s 200 plus TG

54
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,200
which Speaking of oh look another part

55
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,159
that looks like we prompted an AI with generic gaming computer there's really

56
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:16,280
nothing to complain about on first glance it's a midsize Tower with support

57
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:21,919
for our ATX board and a tempered glass side panel but I usually find a thing or

58
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:25,720
two not to like when I build my PC so let's see if this thing holds up to

59
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,240
closer scrutiny starting with cable management it's Bare Bones but it does

60
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:33,160
exist all the corners for your cables are rounded and there's a nice little

61
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,759
channel here where you can put all the cables for your front panel connectors

62
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:43,120
and you're included four RGB fans that's a nice bonus at this price point I am

63
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:45,600
not speaking of fans a fan of these

64
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:51,680
little foam dots that hold up the power supply they immediately got knocked off

65
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,800
but not a lot of extra room for the motherboard up here but we got all we

66
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:59,120
need definitely a little bit of inexpensive case tolerance syndrome but

67
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:05,120
once it's on there I don't think that's going anywhere wow not a lot of room for these bottom

68
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:10,000
connectors here it's got a hard drive Mount and two 2 and2 in SSD mounts

69
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:14,520
doesn't look amazing from this side but hey from this side not bad how much did

70
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,319
we pay for this guy we paid $83 um okay that's not that cheap nor is

71
00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:29,479
our 1 T SSD cool we got a Western Digital SN 770

72
00:05:25,039 --> 00:05:31,240
for 85 bucks which man it's not like

73
00:05:29,479 --> 00:05:37,319
this or any of the selections we've looked at are horrible but we've been

74
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:39,160
burning 5 10 $20 every time we throw

75
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:44,360
something into the cart yeah it's death by 1,000 Cuts all

76
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:48,080
in all we've wasted about $80 total so far versus building the exact same

77
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,759
computer with the cheapest prices I could find on the web and making matters

78
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:56,919
worse that ignores the optimizations we could make if we had better parts to

79
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:01,080
choose from but I have a surprise for you oh I love surprises I have one part

80
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:07,319
I couldn't find for cheaper anywhere else oh awesome wait this is an

81
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:13,639
a750 that's right the Predator bifrost Intel Arc a750 for

82
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:17,360
$245 even if we wanted an Intel card

83
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:20,199
that's nearly the MSRP of an arc b580 a

84
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:24,479
way better card sure is once again we were killed by selection at the time of

85
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:30,199
ordering there were only a dozen or so cards available and of those dozen all

86
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:37,680
but two of them that fit in our but were over three generations old with that

87
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:39,960
said I mean the a750 is pretty okay for

88
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,520
1080p especially now that it's had a few years of driver updates now that we've

89
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,880
got it all installed it's time to look at the total damage for our system how

90
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:55,120
much was it about $960 oh there she goes nice and she

91
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:57,599
games we're at 1080p High settings I

92
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:02,599
mean yeah sure it's only CS2 but it's CS2 it's not CS Source m

93
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:09,560
and this is running kind of actually great I mean averages of around 160 180

94
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:13,960
FPS and we're not seeing 1% lows di below 100 and I've even got the settings

95
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:19,960
actually pretty high check this out oh yeah like she's running and we could

96
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:24,199
even squeeze our water resistant LTT hat Pro into the budget oh well before you

97
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:29,120
get too excited we actually built a system using the same $960 is budget uh

98
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:36,400
but using parts that we could get off new oh boy and so considering this has a

99
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,120
9600 X and A 6750 XT I'm a little bit

100
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,039
worried for our little Walmart buddy over there but let's see how it does

101
00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:46,440
we'll have all the parts linked down below by the way what's that line ploof

102
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:50,560
always gives comparison is the thief of

103
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:55,039
Joy prepare to have no joy uh-oh this is

104
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,280
already not going well wait oh not good

105
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:03,879
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

106
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:10,560
yeah we're looking at pretty much double all the time same

107
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:15,000
settings I'm just over 200 FPS he's just

108
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,720
shy of 350 oh he's over 350 yeah I took

109
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:24,000
one look at that system I'm like it even looks better yeah you have a bigger case

110
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:27,159
bigger cooling is it quieter too

111
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:31,080
probably I mean mine's reasonable it's

112
00:08:27,159 --> 00:08:32,880
reasonable good job Walmart

113
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:37,159
this one's better yeah and I didn't even minmax all the parts like I could have

114
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:40,360
got a cheaper cooler cheaper SSD cheaper case but I got ones that I thought I

115
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,880
would actually want for this price bracket yeah and we can't let David min

116
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:50,560
max things anymore because you guys get upset because nobody deal hunts like

117
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,760
this man well who knows maybe it's just

118
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:56,760
the game move on to something else oh Final

119
00:08:54,839 --> 00:09:00,600
Fantasy 7 rebirth let's do it dude I have no shot okay maybe I I was a little

120
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:07,200
over ambitious about what this computer can do you were definitely over ambitious

121
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:13,399
about what this computer can do as bad as yours is mine's worse standing here

122
00:09:10,839 --> 00:09:20,560
doing nothing I'm getting 1% low dips down to 13 dude that is noticeably

123
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:23,720
immediately visibly way better like way

124
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:26,440
better mine doesn't seem on paper like

125
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,920
it should be that bad but it feels chunky this feels totally fine on my

126
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:34,360
side side yeah it looks totally fine on your

127
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:38,680
side it does not feel fine on my side even though my FPS counter is reading

128
00:09:36,839 --> 00:09:43,040
the same as yours right now for this amount of money the game should run like

129
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:48,640
that for this amount of money I have it running like this which you can clearly

130
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:52,240
see is trashed

131
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:54,360
tier Walmart Walmart Walmart and we

132
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:57,800
really did do the best we could do with the selection that we had at Walmart

133
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:03,160
this isn't like we've done in the past sometimes with like AliExpress or tenu

134
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,720
where we've intentionally ordered meme stuff this it's pretty functional

135
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,680
computer other than just the part selection the pricing being garbage

136
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:16,959
warning me my Graphics driers out of date I was like did you guys not prep these oh right it's

137
00:10:14,839 --> 00:10:21,240
Intel that's just the kind of Errors you get when you run Intel even the loading

138
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:25,920
screen you're running at Double the FPS that I am you load it faster though

139
00:10:29,959 --> 00:10:38,440
oh no oh no cyberp punk yeah we don't I we

140
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:43,240
don't really have to Deep dive just looking at the partel as we knew this was going to happen yeah looking at your

141
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:47,800
frame rates it's still oh look at that do you see that do you see that though

142
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:52,959
that was sub 10 I think it's pretty safe to say about double the performance yeah

143
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:57,200
pretty damn close bottom line then should you buy a gaming PC at Walmart

144
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:02,320
well as wild as this is going to sound after everything you guys just saw yeah

145
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:06,800
but only if you're going to buy a pre-built PC and if you carefully

146
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:10,800
analyze the specs some of their discounted gaming systems are

147
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:15,279
legitimately a great value and come from trusted Brands but when it comes to

148
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:19,320
buying parts and assembling your own system it's clear that when we limit our

149
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:23,760
choices to stuff that's sold by Walmart it is a terrible experience I mean

150
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:27,600
Walmart in many cases doesn't have the best prices on walmart.com and then even

151
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,480
once we open up the thirdparty marketplace floodgates it's still pretty

152
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:36,560
underwhelming and noticeably worse than buying from Walmart's competitors not

153
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:41,320
only is the website itself a mess to navigate and find parts on but from the

154
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:45,760
time that we got the items approved to when we ordered which was just a few

155
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:49,800
hours four of them were out of stock and then when our order arrived we had to

156
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:53,720
send back our GPU due to water damage to the

157
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:57,040
box so let us know what's your favorite

158
00:11:53,720 --> 00:12:00,200
place to buy PC parts is it
