WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.359
we have looked at some very disappointing computers from Walmart but

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:11.080
then again what do you expect from a company that's been controversial for

00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:13.120
decades of course at an $800 billion

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:18.439
valuation someone must like shopping there so maybe maybe the problem is us

00:00:16.279 --> 00:00:23.039
maybe it's time to try again but with a more positive attitude while their

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:27.679
pre-builts never recovered from that disastrous launch you can still buy all

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:34.320
kinds of PC components from the local Walmart the only question is should you

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:40.280
right sorry sorry I've got an open mind and an open Wallet we spent

00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:42.879
$1,000 for a custom gaming PC and let me

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:48.320
tell you I did not expect this kind of experience from Walmart just like you

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:51.199
weren't expecting Boom the segue to our

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:19.200
off right out of the gate our first challenge was battling a walmart.com

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:24.880
website that was clearly not designed with PC configuration in mind filters

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:29.520
don't work parts are sorted in correctly and the same Marketplace in ification

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:36.640
that is taken over the rest of online retail is on Full display here okay

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:40.360
let's manually search AMD limit to sold

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:42.439
by Walmart and then sort my price okay

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

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:53.719
what's this sold by Newegg okay how

00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:56.119
about the 7600 X who is platinum micro

00:01:53.719 --> 00:02:01.880
that's a little weird CPUs are kind of core components and like none of these

00:01:58.759 --> 00:02:05.200
are being sold by big blue themselves so

00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:08.080
if we want a like actually from Walmart

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:14.280
CPU we're basically stuck with this the AMD ryzen 8600 G for

00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:15.800
$190 not a terrible CPU it's currently

00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:22.120
one of the cheapest entry points into the am5 platform with six Zen 4 cores

00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:24.040
that turbo to up to 5 GHz but it's also

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

00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:33.120
least the pricing is about in line with new egg at the time of filming

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

00:02:35.480 --> 00:02:43.120
provide solid performance for many years to come it just sucks that I had to buy

00:02:40.040 --> 00:02:45.239
32 gigs of it I know we are getting to

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:51.280
the point where we might need more than that someday but 16 gigs is still enough

00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:53.560
for most games right now and having zero

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:58.800
16 gig ddr5 kits available when you're on a limited budget that sucks Walmart

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

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:07.000
Worse is a bog standard b650 board it's

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:12.599
got decent expansion and connectivity and most importantly support for our am5

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:19.560
CPU fun fact by the way while Walmart stocks ddr4 memory and am4 CPUs they

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:25.080
don't have any older am4 motherboards and then for current gen this is the

00:03:22.040 --> 00:03:29.560
cheapest one that they sell I guess they

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:29.560
rolled back their product selection

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

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

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:48.080
bucks which honestly doesn't seem that bad for the price especially considering

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:52.439
that MSI has made some pretty decent power supplies in the past and this one

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:56.519
is fully modular it's even a little smaller than a regular ATX power supply

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

00:03:58.040 --> 00:04:05.040
case the thermal take s 200 plus TG

00:04:01.640 --> 00:04:07.200
which Speaking of oh look another part

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:11.159
that looks like we prompted an AI with generic gaming computer there's really

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:16.280
nothing to complain about on first glance it's a midsize Tower with support

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

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

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:30.240
closer scrutiny starting with cable management it's Bare Bones but it does

00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:33.160
exist all the corners for your cables are rounded and there's a nice little

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:37.759
channel here where you can put all the cables for your front panel connectors

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

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:45.600
not speaking of fans a fan of these

00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:51.680
little foam dots that hold up the power supply they immediately got knocked off

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

00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.120
need definitely a little bit of inexpensive case tolerance syndrome but

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

00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:10.000
connectors here it's got a hard drive Mount and two 2 and2 in SSD mounts

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

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

00:05:18.919 --> 00:05:29.479
our 1 T SSD cool we got a Western Digital SN 770

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:31.240
for 85 bucks which man it's not like

00:05:29.479 --> 00:05:37.319
this or any of the selections we've looked at are horrible but we've been

00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:39.160
burning 5 10 $20 every time we throw

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:44.360
something into the cart yeah it's death by 1,000 Cuts all

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:48.080
in all we've wasted about $80 total so far versus building the exact same

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:52.759
computer with the cheapest prices I could find on the web and making matters

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:56.919
worse that ignores the optimizations we could make if we had better parts to

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

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:07.319
I couldn't find for cheaper anywhere else oh awesome wait this is an

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:13.639
a750 that's right the Predator bifrost Intel Arc a750 for

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:17.360
$245 even if we wanted an Intel card

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:20.199
that's nearly the MSRP of an arc b580 a

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:24.479
way better card sure is once again we were killed by selection at the time of

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:30.199
ordering there were only a dozen or so cards available and of those dozen all

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:37.680
but two of them that fit in our but were over three generations old with that

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:39.960
said I mean the a750 is pretty okay for

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

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

00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:55.120
much was it about $960 oh there she goes nice and she

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.599
games we're at 1080p High settings I

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

00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:09.560
and this is running kind of actually great I mean averages of around 160 180

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

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:19.960
actually pretty high check this out oh yeah like she's running and we could

00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.199
even squeeze our water resistant LTT hat Pro into the budget oh well before you

00:07:22.479 --> 00:07:29.120
get too excited we actually built a system using the same $960 is budget uh

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

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:38.120
9600 X and A 6750 XT I'm a little bit

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:41.039
worried for our little Walmart buddy over there but let's see how it does

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

00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:50.560
always gives comparison is the thief of

00:07:46.440 --> 00:07:55.039
Joy prepare to have no joy uh-oh this is

00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:56.280
already not going well wait oh not good

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

00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:10.560
yeah we're looking at pretty much double all the time same

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:15.000
settings I'm just over 200 FPS he's just

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:16.720
shy of 350 oh he's over 350 yeah I took

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

00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:27.159
bigger cooling is it quieter too

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:31.080
probably I mean mine's reasonable it's

00:08:27.159 --> 00:08:32.880
reasonable good job Walmart

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

00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:40.360
got a cheaper cooler cheaper SSD cheaper case but I got ones that I thought I

00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.880
would actually want for this price bracket yeah and we can't let David min

00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:50.560
max things anymore because you guys get upset because nobody deal hunts like

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:51.760
this man well who knows maybe it's just

00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:56.760
the game move on to something else oh Final

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

00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:07.200
over ambitious about what this computer can do you were definitely over ambitious

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:13.399
about what this computer can do as bad as yours is mine's worse standing here

00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:20.560
doing nothing I'm getting 1% low dips down to 13 dude that is noticeably

00:09:16.640 --> 00:09:23.720
immediately visibly way better like way

00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:26.440
better mine doesn't seem on paper like

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:29.920
it should be that bad but it feels chunky this feels totally fine on my

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:34.360
side side yeah it looks totally fine on your

00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:38.680
side it does not feel fine on my side even though my FPS counter is reading

00:09:36.839 --> 00:09:43.040
the same as yours right now for this amount of money the game should run like

00:09:40.880 --> 00:09:48.640
that for this amount of money I have it running like this which you can clearly

00:09:45.640 --> 00:09:52.240
see is trashed

00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:54.360
tier Walmart Walmart Walmart and we

00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:57.800
really did do the best we could do with the selection that we had at Walmart

00:09:55.920 --> 00:10:03.160
this isn't like we've done in the past sometimes with like AliExpress or tenu

00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:06.720
where we've intentionally ordered meme stuff this it's pretty functional

00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:11.680
computer other than just the part selection the pricing being garbage

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

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

00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:25.920
screen you're running at Double the FPS that I am you load it faster though

00:10:29.959 --> 00:10:38.440
oh no oh no cyberp punk yeah we don't I we

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

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

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

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:57.200
pretty damn close bottom line then should you buy a gaming PC at Walmart

00:10:55.240 --> 00:11:02.320
well as wild as this is going to sound after everything you guys just saw yeah

00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:06.800
but only if you're going to buy a pre-built PC and if you carefully

00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:10.800
analyze the specs some of their discounted gaming systems are

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:15.279
legitimately a great value and come from trusted Brands but when it comes to

00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:19.320
buying parts and assembling your own system it's clear that when we limit our

00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:23.760
choices to stuff that's sold by Walmart it is a terrible experience I mean

00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:27.600
Walmart in many cases doesn't have the best prices on walmart.com and then even

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:32.480
once we open up the thirdparty marketplace floodgates it's still pretty

00:11:30.160 --> 00:11:36.560
underwhelming and noticeably worse than buying from Walmart's competitors not

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:41.320
only is the website itself a mess to navigate and find parts on but from the

00:11:38.920 --> 00:11:45.760
time that we got the items approved to when we ordered which was just a few

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

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:53.720
send back our GPU due to water damage to the

00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:57.040
