    So this is a $500 Budget Build Video in disguise.
    Now obviously, this computer build will require a little bit of deal hunting on your part. Not everything I show here is something you NEED, but parts like it or even the part itself is easy enough to find secondhand on any of the resources I have below.
    Resources for Deal Hunting:
    /r/buildapcsales
    /r/hardwareswap
    OfferUp
    LetGo
    Craigslist
    However, for those of you that are not so patient, I have a part list here to the parts used in the video:
    Ryzen 5 2600 Processor:
    amzn.to/2Ck9Qqi
    AMD Wraith CPU Cooler:

And it doesn't have to be from craigslist where you meet people like in this video. Just shop around online: Amazon, Ebay, Newegg etc. You also gain very helpful hardware knowledge.

The benchmark scores are 14000 on the i7 and 13500 on the r5. So overall pretty similar. The r5 is also half the price of an i7 and includes an amazing wraith fan which no one can argue is way better than intel stock fan. I would consider it a pretty fair performance comparison but unfair to intel as far as value

    This video makes me think of my friend buying a PC the other week, he didn’t want to build one himself so just sent me a link for a prebuilt. The one he sent me was literally called their “modern warfare warzone” model it cost 400 more than one I found in 2 minutes on their site with literally better or the same parts in every category they literally gave it worse performance and boosted the price up with the name recognition just to trick people that have no idea what they’re looking at. When you actually look into it pre builds just seems so scummy I understand charging like 200 for building as standard more if custom looping etc but having looked around recently this whole thing seems awful

      I've gone to best buy to pick up stuff off their open box rack before, just keyboards, mice, stuff like that, and I browse while I'm there. Best thing is when someone comes in, usually an older person and they are asking an employee about how they need a new desktop computer and the employee tries to sell them on an i7 8700 machine with a GTX 1070ti in it (I think it was an IBP machine even) for $1300. The employee was trying to sell it as a this will do anything you need it to which is why you need it so the customer was asking if they had anything at a cheaper price and before the employee could answer I pointed out some of their HP and Dells with i5's and integrated graphics saying that those should do the job if they don't plan on doing anything too intensive on their computer and the customer usually asks me if those can handle either skyping their grandchildren or checking their email or using microsoft word and I'm just like yeah those would be more than enough all the while the employee is just glaring at me. This has happened multiple times and honestly I'm surprised that an employee hasn't tried to kick me out.

    Kristofer, as a Best Buy employee, I can tell you we don’t make money on our computers. We sell them at cost, and they expect us as sales reps to attach things to make us money. Our employee discount is 5% above cost, but on computers and name brands we get no discount because there is no profit to take from.
    I agree completely with your analysis of the types of parts the manufacturers use, and I tell my customers the same things. I encourage them to purchase components instead, and make sure to pricematch with the cheapest price I can find.
    While I love your videos and I’m happy to support this channel, I think that if you’re going to focus a video or an idea around a specific retailer or business, you should ask someone like me, or find a reliable source from the business itself rather than making assumptions standing on the outside. I don’t mean this as a tear down, simply a suggestion for a better approach in the future.

So they decided to overnight it. But I wouldn’t get it until two weeks later. So we decided to go with that option and overnight it. So later that day I saw a the same pc for cheaper and it would be at my house by the Friday of the same week. And we bought it and canceled the Order from
    Best Buy. And we got the pc and I enjoyed it. But I looked at the box and realized. This is the same box and at the Best Buy. That they said wasn’t mine. Then Best Buy said
    I had the pc and disputed the dispute that my mom put. And we had to fight the charge for a month. That was the last time I ever bought from Best Buy.

    i remember i went to best buy one time (and never again) to see why my ssd wasnt working. turns out my motherboard didnt support sata ssd’s so i bought an nvme and paid the ridiculous installation fee for whatever reason. i got home and idk what the guy did but all of my files were corrupted and i had to do a factory reset. screw best buy

    Keep in mind that if they included a crap antivirus suite, they probably enabled nearly every "oh please protect me!" feature AND the first time you turn it on it's probably past its "last scanned for viruses" checkpoint date. That will likely force it to start scanning every file and every sector on every drive in the system to update its scan log. Depending on the system configuration that could take it a long time and really cramp your system while it is doing so.

    Best buy is not nearly as bad as it you make it seem.
    During the mining crazy I got an I7-7700, GTX 1070, 16 GB RAM 3200, 1 GB HDD, 256 SSD boot drive. It was an Omen and only cost me $1150.
    And, a few months later, the mobo failed, I didn't have a warranty besides the manufacturer one. The workers at best buy were fellow PCMR, and they completely hooked a brotha up. I had no warranty and they gave me a new one for free. I actually ended up getting money back.
    I'm still using the CPU and mobo from it and couldn't be happier.
    Yes, most prebuilts will use OEM and cheaper parts but that's to keep the price low, it's not best buy's fault. If ya buy a prebuilt, you're not going to get a super customized PC.
    I'm a best buy shopper because of their phenomenal support here at my local store.

    I'm 13 and I have a HP Omen Obelisk. My brother had bought it on black friday and used it for a year, that's when I asked him how much for it. He said 500 and I had enough so I bought it. I switched from xbox to pc and well, I'm looking forward to building my own in the future. I mean 500 for a pc that retails for 900 (if you buy all the parts separately) it performs decent.

    Scary. I didn't know when a psu blows up it cant take pc parts with it. I've had like 4 blow up on me and never took anything with it. I did end up buying a 70 dollar one at the end and that one took a surge and still worked :D. I put off building another pc because of the psu but now i know its because I was being cheap.
