WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840 Costco's electronics department used to be pretty much TVs, some iPods, and a 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:11.440 mobile phone [music] kiosk. But the last time I was here, I couldn't help noticing that they have so much more 00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:14.800 now. They've got gaming PCs, gaming monitors, and even all kinds of gaming 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:18.960 peripherals, which got me wondering, is Costco the new cheat code to get a 00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:24.200 gaming PC at a fair price? Or is it a trap for people to be lured in by the 00:00:21.880 --> 00:00:30.120 convenience of getting their giant slab of meat and a lean, mean gaming PC in 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:34.520 one, admittedly, pretty arduous trip. To find out, David and I are here at the 00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:39.440 local Costco with one simple goal, to walk out with the best deal we can get 00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:41.440 on a gaming PC. And maybe food samples. 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:46.800 I love Costco. I hear that they love you, too, Linus. Just like I love this 00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:49.000 segway to our sponsor, Ahrefs.

Welcome to Costco. 00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:03.120 I love you. 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.160 Hey. 100 bucks off Apple Watch, no deals on 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:19.880 gaming PCs. But we do have some options. That's a 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:26.520 card you want to take. [music] Why buy computers at Costco, Linus? 90-day return policy, free tech support, 2-year 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:30.040 warranty, and okay, this >> Free bloatware, yay. 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:34.200 >> Okay, well, we're buying a computer, so >> So, I'm going to grab one of these. And 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:41.160 then, in terms of our options, we've got AMD with a Radeon GPU and Intel with a 00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:46.920 GeForce GPU. Both are a pretty similar class of machine, which makes the 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:50.240 difference in price a little bit confu- 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:52.880 This one's got 32 gigs of DDR5. That's 00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:58.080 on top of having a higher class CPU, not to mention a GPU with 16 gigs of VRAM. 00:01:56.320 --> 00:02:04.040 Meanwhile, over here, we've only got a single 16 gig stick. 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.761 With actually also a lower tier cooler, 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.560 not to mention a little bit less RGB. [music] One extra side of glass panels, 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.400 though. I mean, yeah, that's true, but I'd 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:17.680 rather have the mesh to be honest with you. You think it's the same power supply in 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.040 both? Hard to say what power supply is in here. >> I mean, the boxes are right here. Does 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:25.560 it say on the box? >> Costco only gives us so many specs. Let's have a look. This is the Oh. 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.640 Wait, what? >> even have any of the AMD ones in stock? 00:02:29.880 --> 00:02:35.400 Sorry, the specs are on the other side, I think. Nope, that's the Intel GeForce one. 00:02:34.581 --> 00:02:37.800 [music] No. 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.160 Intel GeForce. Do you think I could get a deal on a floor model? We can ask. It 00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:49.560 didn't even occur to me to like ask if someone can help me with my purchase. I 00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:53.840 mean, it's Costco. Is that a thing? So, there's two machines there. I couldn't 00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:58.360 find any in stock of the higher end one. Um I believe that's the only one left. 00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:02.880 Is there a deal if it's the floor model or no? No, if it's a deleted item, like 00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:06.800 we're not going to carry it anymore, then they'll mark it down. We're going 00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:10.519 to get more stock of it then. Got it. That makes sense. This doesn't have the 00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:14.800 Death Star assignment yet, so Right. >> that, then it'll be marked down. So, in 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:19.320 a nutshell, I'm going to do my bro a solid over here. Wait, did he say that this means 00:03:17.812 --> 00:03:23.440 [music] that it's an UL A? >> I think he said the Death Star. Oh, this 00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:26.920 could be pretty cool. But, before we try to negotiate a deal on it, I want to see 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.760 how these systems compare to just shopping online. Oh, don't forget that 00:03:28.480 --> 00:03:35.200 that's in Canadian money. Oh, right. Yeah, so this is more like a 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:41.080 G, and then this is more like 1,300 bucks. And there it is, a 14 400F 00:03:38.440 --> 00:03:47.640 with an RTX 5060, 16 gigs of RAM. Wait. 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:50.080 This is DDR4. So, we are saving about 30 00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:53.440 US dollars compared to this Stormforce system, and we're getting [music] more 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:57.440 expansion slots because we've got an ATX motherboard. With that said, we are 00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:03.080 giving up a little bit of capacity on our power supply. And also Ew, is that a 00:04:00.440 --> 00:04:07.440 Raidmax? Here's a slightly better CPU, a little bit more RAM, but still a 5060 00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:10.480 for, you know, couple hundred bucks more. All in all, it looks like we're 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:15.120 well within the range in terms of pricing. Let's try and get a deal. Hi. 00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:19.239 Long time fan. Buying a PC. Do you know if we can get a discount on it? I'll do 00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:22.520 it for you. Oh, okay. Awesome. Thank you. Don't Don't like tell them who we 00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:25.280 are or anything. Just I just want to be a normal customer. I don't want anything 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:29.120 special though. Okay. Okay. 00:04:27.898 --> 00:04:34.960 >> [laughter] >> 10% that's our normal. 10%? All right. 00:04:32.640 --> 00:04:41.880 We got our deal. It's their standard 10% discount compared to the retail price, 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:44.919 which means that we are only paying $275 00:04:41.880 --> 00:04:47.320 for an additional 16 gigs of RAM, an 00:04:44.919 --> 00:04:54.120 additional 8 gigs of VRAM, not to mention a better CPU, and probably 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:59.520 a better power supply. However, the one thing giving me pause 00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:04.760 is DLSS 4.5. If I hadn't tried it, I'd been like 00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:09.600 I'll take the superior raster performance, not to mention AMD's fine 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:15.200 wine driver development. Well, turns out NVIDIA's got some fine wine of their 00:05:11.200 --> 00:05:17.440 own. And DLSS 4.5 is freaking awesome. 00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:20.280 However, I could probably rip a stick of RAM out 00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:26.320 of this thing, sell it, sell that GPU, and get an NVIDIA card if 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.880 I really wanted that. I think this is the one we got to take. 00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:32.960 >> I agree. Which isn't to say that this is a bad deal, but I like this. This is not 00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:35.760 my favorite thing about buying open box items. 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:41.160 Okay. There we go. Let's return [music] our cart. We'll be the one Costco customer 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:46.480 ever who returns their cart. There's dozens of us. 00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:49.760 The specs and price actually looking really solid, but 00:05:48.520 --> 00:05:55.000 we still don't even know what brand of power supply we have. We don't know what brand of SSD we have. I'd like to take a 00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:59.600 closer look. I'll now start by getting a little bit of this dust off the machine. 00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:02.360 That's a small price to pay uh when you consider that versus our comparison 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.600 system, >> Mhm. you're saving about $300. 00:06:06.200 --> 00:06:10.800 >> Really? >> And that's using the same parts or very 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:13.480 similar cheaper parts. >> So, that means even without our 10% 00:06:12.640 --> 00:06:18.360 discount, >> We would say >> got a great deal. Without the discount, 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:21.280 it would still be $140 cheaper. >> And we get the extra year warranty from 00:06:20.320 --> 00:06:25.600 buying through Costco. >> Yeah. Now, the sales rep did actually 00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:29.800 point out to us that depending on our individual components, they may carry 00:06:27.640 --> 00:06:32.800 longer warranties. Just uh don't tell the manufacturer that you pulled it out 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:37.919 of a pre-built system. It is worth noting though that while our Costco system is competitively priced with our 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:41.760 comparison system, these are not necessarily the exact parts that we 00:06:40.200 --> 00:06:44.720 might have chosen if we were starting from scratch. I mean, they're not far 00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:51.160 off though. >> Uh you might want to take a look at this SSD. Have you heard of AGI before? AGI? 00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:54.480 Yeah. Yeah, that's uh what is it? Artificial [music] General 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:58.280 Intelligence? It's an AI SSD. [laughter] 00:06:56.440 --> 00:07:04.760 No, I've never heard of AGI. Are they good? I have no clue. It's a Gen4 drive. 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:08.400 So, that's something. No DRAM cache though. Mhm. Realtek controller. 00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:13.040 >> For a gaming system, it's totally acceptable. Now, it is worth noting that 00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:18.080 our comparison system is just following the same broad strokes. That is a 00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:21.880 beefier cooler on both our CPU and GPU, but those are not going to affect our 00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:25.760 performance comparisons. We're not going to be looking at temperatures. Other 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:29.720 than the SSD or the lower-spec, but still adequate coolers, I don't really 00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:32.680 see where iBuyPower cheaped out on this. >> No, that's an MSI motherboard. 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:36.760 >> Not only that, but this is a pretty reasonable spec one. It's missing the 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:40.800 VRM coolers, which you often see on these system integrator boards, but look 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:48.120 at the IO. That's good. >> Yeah. 20K USB-C. we've got 2 and 1/2 gig 00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:51.880 LAN. I believe this is Wi-Fi 6E. Let's 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.800 double check that. PRO B650-VC 00:07:51.880 --> 00:07:56.845 VC >> Cooling overview. 00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:58.865 Chipset >> [laughter] 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:04.640 >> The front fans COULD HAVE A LITTLE bit more access to fresh air flow, but there 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:08.200 is some mesh here and we actually did a video recently exploring just how much 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:12.080 space a fan needs in front of it in order to draw fresh air in and this 00:08:09.945 --> 00:08:16.520 [music] is maybe not optimal for noise, but should be okay for cooling. Show me 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:21.680 the qual. No, you know what? The cable management, 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.919 I'm totally fine with. Commodity system 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:26.480 Yeah. >> It's zip tied. Nothing's going to come 00:08:24.840 --> 00:08:29.360 flying around during shipping. I'm okay with that. But this power supply is not 00:08:28.280 --> 00:08:36.520 inspiring a ton of us. >> box of mystery is >> as it's not Raidmax, I'll be 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.520 I'll be okay. 00:08:36.560 --> 00:08:43.680 Oh, you know what? I have a cutter in my tech sack. When's the LTT cutter coming? 00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:46.626 I mean, we should probably do one. Uh it's just figuring out, you know, how 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:51.360 you differentiate on a thing that [music] cuts things. I don't think we necessarily have to like innovate on it 00:08:50.040 --> 00:08:55.360 a ton. I think as long as it's just a good one at a fair price. 00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:00.839 What the high power I [music] mean, I'm going on 00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:04.680 the 80 plus site right now and I'm going to see [music] if this is actually 80 00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:07.760 plus gold certified. What's the over/under on that? 00:09:06.040 --> 00:09:15.240 >> There's no chance that this is actually gold certified. No way. >> Hold on. Hold on. 00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:15.240 HP1 J600GD-F12SC 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:23.440 80 plus gold certified >> Yeah. >> No way! 00:09:20.680 --> 00:09:26.960 Back in 2019? Okay, so it's an older design, but 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:30.880 technically an efficient one. Being efficient doesn't necessarily mean that 00:09:28.839 --> 00:09:34.040 it's the world's most amazing power supply, but it does mean that it is 00:09:33.280 --> 00:09:38.320 efficient. >> This is the strongest fan retention clip 00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:42.120 I think I've ever encountered on a tower cooler. Oh, there's some nice dust 00:09:39.880 --> 00:09:45.080 there. Which is a good thing actually for systems that are going to be 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:50.680 shipped. Okay, very nice. Full coverage, not a 00:09:48.640 --> 00:09:54.360 ton of extra to seep out and gunk up my CPU. Good job. Enough poking and 00:09:52.640 --> 00:09:58.680 prodding at it though, let's play some games. Say what you will about the 00:09:55.880 --> 00:10:03.320 quality of included peripherals. This is just add monitor. Keyboard, 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:07.000 mouse, tower all included. And it's significantly better than a lot of OEM 00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:10.720 peripherals that I've seen. Hey! >> Hey, there we go. 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:14.360 >> That RGB strip doesn't look so bad. >> Yeah, I mean, it's easy to hate on 00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:17.120 pre-builts. You know, you should build your own. And there are times when you 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:21.200 should definitely build your own. I mean, we're both huge advocates for 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:25.440 scouring the internet for second-hand deals to get the absolute best bang for 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:29.000 your buck. But if you want new stuff, I'm feeling pretty good about this. 00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:33.360 What? Go ahead and roll. Who is Who is Darren DeYoung? Did 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:36.960 someone just like take it home and use it for a bit or is this I'm guessing 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:40.440 that's just one of the employees did it and it's easier to just use his personal 00:10:38.280 --> 00:10:44.720 account and not worry about it. I would think iBUYPOWER would be 00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:48.680 way too experienced for that though. Do you think someone bought this one and 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:52.960 returned it? I don't think so. >> I'm looking up Darren DeYoung. Darren 00:10:50.839 --> 00:10:59.200 DeYoung Windows 11. Woah! Is this a thing? 00:10:55.360 --> 00:11:01.600 >> It must be a thing. Is this a thing? Who 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:04.760 is he and how can I bypass this demo stuff? 00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:09.400 Woof, that should have been wiped before buying it. Was it an open box computer? 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:13.839 Darren DeYoung retail mode. So, this is a thing. It's retail mode. Apparently, 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:18.040 to get rid of Darren, we just have to click five times on Windows 11 home 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:21.960 here. Oh. Look at that. 00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:25.792 Wait. Where did I get the idea that the 960 XT had 16 gigs of VRAM? 00:11:24.400 --> 00:11:33.040 >> There is a 16 gig version. >> [snorts] >> This is exactly what I'm talking about. 00:11:30.839 --> 00:11:36.600 Cuz I even did a take where I was like, "8 gigs of VRAM." And then I looked it 00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:39.720 up and I corrected myself cuz I was like, "Oh no, the 960 XT has 16 gigs of 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:46.280 VRAM." >> Okay, that makes it a little less good of a value. Let's make that calculation. 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:48.680 This is why I keep talking about this 00:11:46.280 --> 00:11:52.160 kind of deceptive product naming where you don't put all of the specs right in 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:57.560 the [ __ ] specs. Yeah. It's especially deceptive in pre-builds because it's 00:11:55.640 --> 00:12:01.480 really hard to look at this and be like, "Is that the 8 gig? Is that the 16 gig? 00:11:59.280 --> 00:12:04.880 I don't know." Oh. You can't like easily read the part number through the window? 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:11.400 >> Nope. Here on AMD's site, they literally denote 960 XT and 960 XT 8 gig. That 00:12:08.880 --> 00:12:14.160 wasn't on the product card, which might not have happened if we were shopping 00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:18.920 somewhere that focuses more on technology rather than, you know, at 00:12:16.400 --> 00:12:23.320 Costco. I'm pretty annoyed right now. That's not cool. How does that affect 00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:29.080 our value calculations? We lose about $80 on our comparison system when it 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:35.880 goes down to the 8 gig model. So, we're still up like 250, 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:40.000 60 dollars. Okay. So, it's still a good value and we're still out ahead, but 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:45.640 we're not as ahead as I hoped we were. And it always feels like a better deal 00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:49.440 when I was fully informed rather than getting a rude surprise after the fact. 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:55.600 I looked up the model on iBuyPower's website and it does have the full specs 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:59.000 including their 8 gig card. Okay. So, it's at least partially on us. 00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:05.560 Definitely wasn't on there. It managed to fool three of us. Yeah. Which is 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:06.640 exactly what it is designed to do. 00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:10.240 Just occurred to me, we're running our game library off of an external drive 00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:15.960 and I realized that I don't know if the cable that it's attached to is any good, 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:17.600 but conveniently, we have a bin of LTT 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:21.480 cables here and it's super easy to tell what the 00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:25.080 capabilities are cuz they're printed right on the ends. 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:30.480 lttstore.com Okay, let's start with Expedition 33. 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:32.480 Oh, okay, well, this is great. 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:36.000 Whoop, little hitch there. Your 1% lows are not so good. 00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:40.040 >> Yeah, they're really not. Maybe it's just shader compilation stutter? This is 00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:43.320 a pretty darn smooth experience. >> I bet you could optimize it a little bit 00:13:41.400 --> 00:13:48.160 and hit 60 more consistently, but with VRR, this 1% low of 50 plus, super 00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:52.440 playable. >> Oh, yeah, totally. It's not a light 00:13:50.680 --> 00:13:56.040 game, especially when you turn it up. Yeah, UE5 is heavy as F. 00:13:54.880 --> 00:14:01.920 >> Yeah, I'm going to be honest with you, this is this is so very, very usable. 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:07.240 >> It looks really good. >> Okay, I did get a stutter there, right as I was doing the quick time event. 00:14:05.280 --> 00:14:11.880 That was a little annoying. Yep, so it's dipping down to like 45 when there's a 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:16.480 bunch of effects on screen. So, I would want to tune it a little bit more, but 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.080 still I'm at like 1440p in terms of the 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:23.080 native resolution that it's rendering at before upscaling. FSR upscaling 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:25.040 actually pretty decent these days. >> Yeah. That looks pretty darn sharp. 00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:29.440 >> Pretty good. >> And I'm still at medium details. So, that I have a lot of room to continue to 00:14:28.040 --> 00:14:34.160 tune this if I really needed to. >> Should we compare it to our comparison system? Is there that much to compare? 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.720 >> No, you're right, cuz it's the exact same system. >> Yeah, I was I was been kind of thinking 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:42.000 about that. Like, what was the point of the comparison system? Yeah, it was going to be it was going to be if we 00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:46.880 could build something better for the same price. >> David. >> Well, you know what though, we wouldn't 00:14:44.880 --> 00:14:49.839 have been able to do much better or better at all. We can't. 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:53.000 >> So, that's probably why your brain flubbed. Mhm. >> is no better. 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:58.560 >> No. So, yeah, purely illustrative. 00:14:55.480 --> 00:15:00.360 >> And time intensive for this gentleman 00:14:58.560 --> 00:15:04.480 over here. Uh what else what what do we want to look at? What else we got? >> Cyberpunk. I don't know. You got the 00:15:02.880 --> 00:15:09.560 whole library there now, so >> the whole library on this computer. I 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:12.920 got the whole library on this computer. I got the whole library on this 00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:17.600 computer. Okay. Thank you for indulging me. Right out of 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:22.080 the gate, default settings in Cyberpunk, we're getting 50 FPS average. 00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:25.400 Unfortunately, we're getting lows down to like 25, and if you feel it It's not 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:30.110 great. >> She's not She's not responsive. I think we can do better than this. 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:33.560 >> Yeah. We don't need to go quite to Steam [music] Deck, but I'm thinking 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:36.000 >> you go mid high. Medium. You think we can go high? 00:15:34.280 --> 00:15:40.600 >> Yeah, just no ray tracing. With fidelity effects? Okay. All right, sure. Our 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:42.480 averages are the same. Dips not quite as low, but still pretty low. 00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:50.280 >> Yeah. I mean, that's what 8 gigs of VRAM is going to do you. Are we at 4K quality? 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:54.360 So, it's doing native 1440p? Yep. Let's go down to 1080p. Oh, yeah, there she 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:58.520 goes. Now [music] we're smooth and realistically 00:15:55.960 --> 00:16:02.440 Okay, there there's some odd behavior, but it's not bad. 00:15:59.760 --> 00:16:05.760 >> No. Especially considering this is an 8 gig card. The stutter that we're seeing, 00:16:04.160 --> 00:16:10.520 especially at higher resolutions, is probably down to having 8 gigs of VRAM, 00:16:08.160 --> 00:16:14.240 but for the price this is still going to be a way better 00:16:12.160 --> 00:16:17.360 experience than the Steam Machine. Oh, yeah. And when you look at what the 00:16:15.280 --> 00:16:22.040 estimated pricing is for that We have a better CPU. We have 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:27.000 upgradeability. They have RGB. A ton of upgradeability and a better GPU. Yeah. 00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:32.240 Yeah, this thing is pretty darn sweet. >> nice little platform, actually. I didn't 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:35.240 stop to think, right? Brett Ham 5. Yeah. 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:37.320 This is a nice little starter machine 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:43.520 for someone who's on a bit of a tighter budget today >> Yep. but might want to upgrade CPU, GPU. 00:16:41.760 --> 00:16:47.200 They should upgrade their power supply if they put a better [music] GPU in 00:16:44.839 --> 00:16:50.120 here. This is a This is so playable. It's so playable. So usable. You could 00:16:48.880 --> 00:16:53.680 tweak it a little bit depending on your sensitivities to visual artifacting, but 00:16:52.400 --> 00:16:56.560 it's This is good. >> I could easily play this game like this. 00:16:55.400 --> 00:17:01.280 Yeah, and I could easily segue to our sponsor.
