"Computers aren't magic" Yes they are, you should see how fast they make my money disappear.
@F B what
@F B no its beacause theyre expensive
Youre talking about 1000 dollars.... if you have 2000 dollars of income, its half your money. In my country if you earn 2000 currency, this pc costs 7000 currency...
I built a gaming PC for about $2,500 CAD. A Vega 56, 64GB RAM and 9900K didn't fit. So I subbed them for a RX 580, 32GB RAM and a 9700K.
Didn't even think of downgrading the mobo to a $250 from $330. Now I am wondering why I got a 9700K and 32GB RAM with a RX 580! Now I'm saving for another 1TB NVMe SSD, a 5700 XT and another 32GB RAM.
@@louiefriesen What do you do out of curiosity to need 64GB of RAM?
$300 for a 2060, what a beautiful time early 2020 was.
swear the time i’m ready to build a pc is when all the prices go up
@@Christian-wp6dg I got lucky a built my first PC JUST before the prices skyrocket.
I hope things normalize and supply catches up soon so you can build yours at a reasonable price.
@@Christian-wp6dg IKR im so mad wanted a pc for multiple years and ass soon as im ready to build in oct the prices are already up
I built mine right as they were starting to go up. I knew nothing about PCs and my friend gave me a parts list based on my budget. If I had known what I know now I would’ve spent the extra money and gotten a better graphics card. I still got a 1660 ti so nothing bad but a 2060 was only 30-40 dollars more at the time.
The fact I’m considering a prebuilt cause no cpu is not 3 times the price is why I just might die
First glance at the case: 'There's no airflow!'

@@burneracc2567 IT will be there believe me , Dell have been building computers long enough to know what they are doing. Go into any bank or office and look at what they run. Almost always Dell.

Computer: Guess i'll die.
*takes out plug and plugs it back in*
Computer: Guess I'll live.
EXPLAIN THAT.
it wasnt plugged in far enough
Suspend mode with a PCIe card that's not playing ball will pull that trick off. Had a system that will suspend, not boot back up, shows power and to boot up you had to unplug it, press reset, replug and then it would boot back up from suspend.
Mad, but happen's.
Still personal fav was IBM PS2 55sx(iirc) that had the MCA slots on a riser card that was so close to case top that if you (like some did back then for desktops) put a CRT monitor on top (yeah the only way back then), could sag slightly the case top and anybody slamming the door was enough to cause the system to crash.

*$129.44 price tag for windows*
Riley let's not pretend your video on "Why LTT uses non activated windows 10" exists lmao
But BestBuy's PC has activated Windows version pre installed, they just didn't pay $129 for it.
And yeah, the only reason Linus doesn't activate his windows is because they constantly reassemble PCs with different components and quickly exhaust activation limits, not because it doesn't make sense.
But overall I can agree that buying windows for $100+ doesn't make much sense.
@@Derael You can get OEM windows licenses off sites like eBay for a few dollars/euros. Or get one with the (likely OEM branded, have mostly seen HP/Dell) install DVD for 20~30. Very much grey market, but I've never heard of anyone having issues with them.
But all that shit inside is proprietary. You ever buy proprietary parts?? At best the system plus it's replacement parts is just under or as much as the custom build. Plus All these big companies buy in bulk; Whatever is cheapest, so the perception of a value is an illusion. You get screwed!!
also having microcenter assemble the lego pieces was a fuckin joke. if you cant follow a youtube tutorial from LTT on assembly then you should buy a console (one of their only pros is they come assembled). in total this build would be $200 cheaper if the person building it was smart.
That would mean there is no significant price advantage for building it yourself.
Who is this dude and why does he sound exactly like Linus
Mike S 0:30 that’s Linus
sounds same because the same person writes the scripts?
Men in black are you new?

If it has a proprietary power connector, it's an instant hard pass.
I don't know if Dell's home/gaming PC line follows the same trend as the business machines,
but Optiplex started using proprietary power connector on the 4th gen. intel CPUs
@@thepezfeo yes it's the same proprietary one as the older optiplex models
@@thepezfeo their precision lineup still use standard connectors at least
Yeah, the moment I saw what degree of proprietary we were dealing with my jaw hit the floor. Once that system is obsolete the only parts worth anything are the CPU and RAM, the rest of it basically goes in the trash due to it's incredibly proprietary design, and it doesn't even have the excuse of being a SFF system!
@@KiraSlith it's not over. There are companies that sells PSU adapters for those prebuilts, and they often cost around 20 bucks or less. For example you can easily get a 8pin to 24 pin adapter for 4th Feb Intel Optiplex on Amazon

3:13 I feel like they did this because people kept plugging their monitors into the motherboard instead of the GPU, complain about the performance (or not booting if the CPU doesn't have integrated graphics), and returning the machine even though it more than likely does work.
No, if not taking into account some other factors, they did it because they are idiots!
If no instruction provided with built pc, then they are idiots by definition.
Why not just add covers to the ports? Like how they did it in the Olden days?
I can see it but It's still nice to have a motherboard hdmi output if you have a issue with the actual graphic card.
Why they use i5 9400 instead of cheaper 9400f if they don't use igpu?
I've seen them send them with a sticker over the motherboard display port

Best buy employee: The hard part is finding an employee that really knows their stuff. Training is limited, and they don't go out of their way to hire GEEKS specifically, that is normally reserved for Geek Squad. You need zero computer experience to start selling computers in best buy. However, due to the environment, a lot of us really do know our stuff because we like it on our own time. Your mileage very well may very though.
It's always funny to listen to what employees in places like BestBuy say to customers. Most don't tell lies but just make it up as they go along.
I had a good experience buying my laptop at best buy. But I already did all my research and knew what I wanted. The sales rep just helped me find everything.

@@minibrum9369 Optiplexes are computers made for light, domestic or office use, not made for gaming or any heavy tasks.
Marco Antonio oh okay, but could you upgrade them into gaming PCs?
@@minibrum9369 you can throw a entry level graphics card on them, sometimes
They don't tend to have high-wattage PSUs to support a beefy GPU and use their own proprietary standards for PSU and motherboard form-factors and connectors, making it hard for you to upgrade anything else other than add some RAM and maybe upgrade the CPU for another one that uses the same socket.

@mattroski007 Not everyone can comprehend how computers work, even with easy access to resources on learning... Lots of people just don't care. And there isn't much that can be done about it. It's why companies like Apple do so well... Treat a PC like an all-in-one console or appliance and they sell like hotcakes. I've encountered plenty of people on Discord that don't have much clue of how their computers work. It's kind of unbelievable, but they are out there.
To be completely fair, look at a budget motherboard's rear I/O. Its basically the same, just with video ports (HDMI, VGA or DVI), and MAYBE a PS/2 port.
Dell simply removed what was deemed unnecessary for that PC. It has a discrete GPU, so integrated graphics make no sense. USB peripherals are the norm, so PS/2 makes no sense.
And as for the classic parallel and serial ports....come on, they should have been removed ages ago.
In short, its rear I/O is more or less the standard basic budget mobo I/O.
Cant say the same for SATA and other internal connectors however. That Dell motherboard cant really do much in terms of expandability.
I guess we should be glad it even has a couple of extra PCIe, in case someone wants to add a Sata controller or something.
what, its just missing PS/2, VGA and HDMI ports

Contrary to popular belief gaming DOES NOT BENEFIT FROM MULTI-CHANNEL. There is extensive reporting on this, suggest google search. Now, multi channel RAM is a huge boost to almost every other category, but NOT GAMING. On the other hand more RAM is always better gaming experience.
This is why gaming rigs - especially from Dell - almoist always come with single stick. That and to leave space for user upgrades.
Of course is 8GB enough is entirely different topic and here we may... converge more than the above. Mine has 32GB RAM and fortunately still is enough, but kinda dreading that upgrade already. My budget is very fixed.
@Adam S. I upgraded my PC a while ago, and was very disappointed with my performance in games, it turned out one of my memory sticks was not seated properly and when i fixed that i got around 30 - 40 more fps. Dual channel do matter.

$150 for microcentre to build it? I checked their website and it's actually $250 to include GPU and OS installation. Either way, that's a rip off. At Centrecom in Victoria, it costs $110 AUD or under $70 USD for computer assembly. No tiers of payment based on hardware.
It was $100 USD for a standard build (inc. GPU and OS) in the USA, when bought my PowerSpec there a year ago or so. A shame as that was a decent price at $100 USD, IMO.
Damn Victoria living life in luxury with $70 full PC builds. As i always suggest though, get your tech buddy to do it for a 6 pack. Far cheaper, you can get drunk afterwards, and if they stuff it up, they feel bad and replace it ;)
the shop I usually buy from asks for 25-30$. if you buy the parts there or the majority. but they're also the store that has the best costumer support and prices in the country.

If you guys want a good prebuilt, I recommend the micro center builds. Not ones they sell but their own brand. I was able to get a Ryzen 5600x and a 3060 for a relatively low price and the rest is pretty normal. Plus, they do a good job at making things customizable in the future. All of that said, building you’re own is definitely the best option if you can get the parts for a reasonable price.

Well, the giant Dell logo in the corner was kind of a big giveaway...

@3:40 where he points that Dell has switched away from using the standard industry 24 pin ATX connector to a proprietary 6 pin connector.
I used to recommend Dell systems to my customers, now would have to reconsider and recommend other systems. I will be researching if HP is doing this shit as well, if not then HP will be getting my recommendations along with some other reputable manufacturers such as ASUS, SONY, etc provided that they too are not moving into the "apple" direction of making repairs a lot more difficult with abandoning industry standards.
Dell is Gateway-ing their new PCs. I don't know if you guys remember gateway, but everything was proprietary. Total BS IMHO.
Dell's being doing this and similar practices for pretty much ever. Definitely recommend more hardware focused prebuilts, or just send em towards companies purely around pre-built PC's. Especially if they're after gaming performance. If they just want a machine, any laptop will do regular or even pretty full-on users perfectly fine. Desktops should only really be for professionals / semi-professionals, and gaming hobbyists nowadays. Laptops are quicker, easier, and often the same price now.
@@VallianceRS laptops typically consume less power as well. Let's understand though that if you're buying a Dell or other OEM you're probably not going to upgrade it yourself.
I think HP did something familiar, with CPU on their prebuilt getting less power.
I just saw Gamer's Nexus about the upcoming push to 12v only PSUs for prebuilt PCs, and the PSU in this video seems to show Dell simply complying with the standards set by California to increase PSU efficiency. Once ATX12V0 is standardized, all the OEMs (not just Dell) are going to shift to the PSU style we see in this Dell G5. It's going to be even more of a pain in the ass to upgrade these prebuilds in the future, but I see two upsides. 1) it's not likely to affect DYI retail parts because ATX12V0 puts pressure off PSU makers and onto motherboard makers, and there is no space on retail motherboard for power regulation shenanigans, and 2) we're going to have a slimmer PSU standard that can be used for custom PC builds.

Microcenter ends up being CHEAPER in terms of hardware then amazon. You get $20 off when you buy a mobo with CPU, you commonly run into windows sales, and commonly run into ram sales, and commonly CPU sales, and case sales. Sales are VERY common at microcenter while amazon very few things are ever on sale in comparison. I was able to build 3pc's recently each one ran about $150-200 cheaper then normal because of sales per pc. Also if you are going to buy windows from microcenter who runs it cheaper then amazon, and want office GET IT THERE AND THEN usually insane 50% off.

The fat guys at my Best Buy are pretty knowledgeable and really helped me out. When I mentioned a pre built they told me I should just build one because it’s cheaper.
I actually own one of these and through the Alienware program you can see the temperatures of your CPU, and everything starts overheating whenever I open even a low-straining program. I got the 699$ version with a upgrade to 16gb ram and it costed about 600$ with coupon codes and sales. With the monitor+keyboard+mouse that i got, everything was around 950$, and I get solid FPS on almost every game. In all honesty, I highly recommend it.

I would never recommend an OEM pc for gaming, for the one reason that they are harder to upgrade. A Cyberpower PC with a Ryzen 5 3600 and RX580 would have been cheaper for a mid level gaming rig.
If someone simply wouldn't do that for themself and doesn't have a tech buddy to ask, it's good to know of an OEM that wouldn't leave them stuffed.

Just think. . . 25 years ago, it was much easier to upgrade a pre-built. #1 reason - you didn't have to worry about BIOS updates being pulled permanently from the manufacturer's site.
I have also have a G5 5090 from Dell but with raised specs including an AMD Radeon RX 5600 with 6GB, an Intel i7 9700K, and 32Gb of DDR4 2666MHz Dual Channel Ram. Though I got the PC at a great discount and I was too lazy to order all the parts and put a custom PC together. It runs pretty well for a pre-built PC and for what I paid. I don't use it for overly intense gaming thought and mainly use it for CPU and memory heavy music production.

Adds Windows 10 to the build.
WindowsLogic Productions finally someone who knows
Windows 7? You guys mean Linux right?
@WindowsLogic Productions Maybe if it was a few years ago but windows 10 has gotten alot better. Plus windows 7 has lost official support from Microsoft and only supports direct x 12 for a few games. So for a gaming PC it's not a ideal OS anymore these days.
@@jasontevepaugh Windows 7 losing official support means nothing unless you're just talking about DirectX 12 implementation and continued support.
@@jasontevepaugh Or you could your finger at game developers for using DirectX12 when they could be using Vulkan. Vulkan runs on not just Windows 7, but also Linux (and Vulkan is one of the rare times Android is included in that), Switch, and I think but am not sure about the Play Station 4. But then again I see games ported from PS4 to PC ending up using DirectX11 so I could be wrong about that. Apple refused to put Vulkan on their platforms, but thankfully the developers behind Vulkan made a MoltenVK wrapper to work around that. DirectX12 on the other hand, only works on Windows 10 and Xbox, and even then it took until 2020 for Microsoft to make the APIs on PC and Xbox the same DirectX12.
This is also exactly why I don't listen to people that say that Linux sucks for gaming; we should be mad at the game developers for not porting their games instead of spreading misinformation about free operating systems.
Thats exactly my pc but with a rtx 2060 planning to upgrade to i7 9700k and 16gb ram soon!
Not a bad choice, thats 25-50% less performance. That is the definition of bad
buying a prebuilt is always going to cost more if your capable of doing your own research and building your own pc. For a prebuilt, it's not bad.
They took 3 looks at doing the same performance for price and you only get 25% when yiu dont have to buy windows, peripherals or the exact same hardware
I regret buying a pc from them it costed 1000$ for a i5 1650
