    Who here bought one of these prebuilt PCs? Don’t lie 👀
    Edit: Turns out I was right about the gift card thing...sellers can get their accounts terminated because of this ouch.

    Prebuilts get so much unnecessary hate. I recommend prebuilts to people all the time, not everyone wants to build their own as they may not have the time or tools, especially to troubleshoot should something go wrong. Prebuilts can be a gateway to PC gaming, and can be a good foundation for someone to slowly start upgrading and maybe one day build one of their own from the ground up.

    For those investing in a dual slot toaster, make sure that you insert 2 slices of bread for optimum efficiency when toasting. You're simply limiting the performance if you're only inserting once slice of bread at a time. If you really want to splash the cash and be future proof, you could invest in a 4 slot toaster but for most people, this is simply overkill. Also, ensure plenty of airflow around the toaster and never place it directly under a kitchen cupboard during operation. There are well documented heat distribution issues associated with this and it could prove costly in the long run.

I looked up reviews and prices for each individual component and I'm super happy with what I saw (surprisingly, including the power supply). Good air flow and the liquid cooling radiator is top mounted. Cable management isn't bad either. As of now (3 months later) I have no complaints aside from the lightly higher than average price. Which I found worth the peice of mind that comes with micro center support and reputation.

      I feel your pain. I’m new to PC gaming, so my friend who’s built several PC’s volunteered to put the parts together for me. He hadn’t built a PC in eight years though, and after nine hours total, he couldn’t get my PC to power on. I eventually forked over the equivalent of twenty bucks (I live in China) for a repairman who then got it up and running in an hour. Still, after seeing my friend get so frustrated and baffled, I had a lot of sympathy for the prebuild crowd.

    For the price, the 1st prebuilt was actually good. For the airflow though, it wasn't the best. However, it seems that it would be cheaper to buy this prebuilt, and a new case for cheaper then actually making it yourself as the gpu was around $900 which you changed to 450 for some reason. Also it would come with windows and would be cheaper overall with shipping costs. I get that prices of gpu's were cheaper 1 year ago, but not that cheap.

    • @ScaryClown338

      Also the case is $82 which he didn't include. So $82 case, $windows , and even in the ebay searches the cheapest i seen for the 2070 gpu was $500 + tax = the prebuilt is either cheaper or the same price.

    @Sumbuddysumwhere Рік тому +17

    While I agree with most of what you said, pretty much all of it actually... Specifically about the first computer, I do kinda wonder about the intake fans specifically because if we have 3 exhausts then we will have a lot of negative air pressure which should result in fresh air getting sucked in through the front regardless of whether you have intake fans or not. Obviously this case/setup sucks for airflow and if you can its always going to be better to have intake fans but I don't think in this case that its the actual end of the world purely because you have 3 exhaust fans creating a lot of negative air pressure. I would be interested to see actual data based on real tests to see if it would actually thermal throttle or not. IMO this would run slightly hot but nothing worse than running an AMD CPU or a high end video card at its peak.

    I just bought a really expensive Velztorm with ryzen 9 5900x with rtx4090. 128gb Ram etc etc. I work 14-16+ hour days as an exec running global cyber intelligence and criminal investigations for a tech giant. I just don't have the motivation to build anymore and not to sound horrible the price is de minimis for me and my time spent building this would be more than a few mouse clicks and grabbing off front doorstep. I am a bit nervous about it. My primary nerve wracking issue is they don't state a lot of the specs like what motherboard, or a ton of detail on the liquid cooling. IT does have a buttload of fans :) Anyhow, great video thanks for taking the time to put it together.

    After looking into this myself Amazon charge 20% just to be on there. That's why Pre-Builts on Amazon are often overpriced. You're paying an extra 20% just because it's on Amazon. This is why most big prebuilt companies sell direct. Seems like these were actually a good deal for the most part.

This was back in 2020, so at the time, for $1084 after tax shipped, it seemed like a good deal, and was a great 1080 gaming experience for me on Destiny 2 and Doom 2016. No issues ever. Then I learned about the crappy 500w power supply and realized I couldn't upgrade, so now its kinda crappy compared to what I can get. 2020, not bad. Now the list price new is "$1500" and its a complete joke.

      But they said it's possible, for the GPU prises to start normalising at 2023. Which is quite a long time to wait for, and some do need a pc right now. So I would say a pre build/pre costom is ok, if you really need a pc now. And maybe switch some parts out. Because everything is affordable except the GPU.

I have checked the temps while gaming and it doesn't go above recommended operating temps. Also not visible the fan at the front of the case pulling air in. Mouse and keyboard included.

    I have the Archangel... I knew it wasn't going to have the best parts and require some upgrades. I am also glad I didn't sit around for 8 months waiting for a GPU that was never going to come. So in the end I added some new fans, a new cpu cooler, better ram, a NVMe drive, new cabling, and a better power supply. You'll be happy to know that I was able to game and work during the 6-8 months I spent waiting for parts and prices to move.
    Sure the case is not my favorite, and the motherboard needs to go... but I learned a lot from upgrading this system over the months. I am so happy that I didn't stress myself out trying to build a PC during covid. I got the best I could afford from what was available at the time. Now I have the knowledge and skills to really build the PC I want, I will save some money on parts too.

    I feel like some of these prebuilds might be a great jumping off point. Keep in mind this is me defending my purchase, as far as I could tell a 1500 PC with an i7 9700, 16GB of RAM and the 3060Ti was one of the only reasonable ways to get a 3060Ti at the moment. Pricing it out its a pretty reasonable spec list all things considered. I think the way to go in my scenario would probably be to get the PC, and then replace the most important components. From what I can tell from my build, the SSD is ass, 3000hz RAM is a little ridiculous, and that power supply may have to be replaced. Recabling a new PSU may be a bit of a bitch but these are very simple parts to replace and the meat of the computer is still there and functional. A less than optimal build does not mean a ruined computer! thats the beauty of computers, if your cooling isn't cutting it you can just buy new fans :)
