How NOT to Build a Gaming PC in 2018

2018-08-19
hey guys Austin and today we're doing something just a little bit different so last week I took a day off I left everyone the office with one simple mission to get a back to school PC so I'm curious what did you guys actually do Austin wants us to build a back-to-school PC for around $750 which he gave us way more of a budget than Halloween what do students want in a computer in general I mean obviously productivity so it needs to run Google Docs right also it has to run for at night okay yeah so it has to it has the game do you want a game on it yeah oh yeah you have to yeah ideally you have this all-in-one thing where it has the power of a desktop but in the portability of a laptop so we're here Micra Center let's go find some PC parts with a world of potential components ahead of us things were looking up that is until we were met with our first set back of the video okay so we just came back from Micro Center we couldn't film in the store but that doesn't matter because we're here now look at this smorgasbord of computer parts we got a core i3 the one of the kitchen ones yeah we have a really cheap MSI motherboard but most importantly the power supply we made sure that we got one that was much better buy much better I mean much cheaper at not $14.99 this is this is not the real price we actually paid $13.99 look if you're a student you're not really in a position to be picky right $14 power supply that's what you get we got other computer parts obviously to make this but we decided we wanted to make this a portable setup so instead we got this really awesome Mickey Mouse backpack yeah so I'd use it the blessing disguise about us using a bag is not only saving money on a case we won't have to deal with things like you know lining up io or you know screwing in the power supply or or the motherboard to the standoff you just ready to go so also as I found out you have never built a PC ring before I have not well if you're working here you better learn how to make one so go for of zero on the PC simulator and so began Matt's initiation process and I gotta hand it to him he did a pretty good job so for an SSD we went with the professional the young professional assisting solid state a whopping $24.99 for 120 gig storage really can't beat it if you're a student next step was to see how the motherboard would even fit into our backpack so much room for activity with that out of the way the next step was to see if our build would even turn on but we may have had a slight oversight in our plan our LED hard drive power switch there is one big benefit to a case is it has a power button the funny thing is we don't that wrench in our plan didn't stop Wes and his actual wrench from jumping the board to boot now that our pc powered on it was time to assemble the rest of the kit including some of the on-the-fly modifications to our soft shell yeah so we can actually screw it right in - at least there oh and down there - yeah no that'll work with a bit more cardboard zip ties and velcro to hold the remaining bits in place it was finally done we're in the set don't worry it's fine it's fine I don't think we're good we're good okay Oh can why is there power supply sting outs at the side of a backpack not only is it a power supply but it is in fact an 80 plus no it's not that is a lie that looks like a $12 Diablo tech power supply yeah it's actually detect yes okay that's cardboard um I think you mean our chassis what's with all the cables and stuff so you're meant to like it so this is an all-in-one kit if you want the power of a desktop you have it is this more powerful than a laptop what's inside here so it looks like an MIT X in my case ITEX board it is powered by a Gen core I I promise you this is this is better than you probably would ever imagined it's the word batter is not coming them up okay okay look we bought this way through it's literally an all-in-one PC setup so this piece of velcro right here is to hold our okay that's clever that's what yeah wait what's this that is our power button so fun fact about this something that a backpack doesn't have that a case does is appalling it's a power button so you wait this actually wired to the motherboard it is you is this looks like something you shouldn't take to school right like if a teacher saw this you're getting like straight to detention or expelled this looks very suspicious I think that you can you look at the cabling you look at that this is the cooling solution yeah it's hose it velcroed it's velcroed in yeah so so it the bag drops up and together with the velcro leaning a little bit so it's leaning a little bit it's it might not be the most stable thing so my next question yeah this is a gaming PC yes so you know how laptops these days have Thunderbolt ports there's no thunder bolt on this yeah no I know that we may or may not have gotten yes wait hold on so what do you how are you plugging in though you just you plug the graphics card it it is in fact a gtx 1050 TI and it is bus powered with a cable that you can plug into you know I mean look can I ask how much this whole setup costs we are under budget okay how much was that seven hundred and fifty dollars and so how much under budget are you seven hundred and forty dollars oh look at that so you should put like a $10 bill in here know you've got a core i3 yes its 8th gen so you're just gonna have a reasonable amount of power you've got a 1050 GI which is not a bad graphics card wait where's the drive you have an SSD oh it's it's it's very unburied in there don't worry it's it may or may not be store-brand but it's fine you know you could have gone to four gigs of ram and got a better power supply right no no no no the best part about this - right you can actually just put it on the bag ah yes so you always can game on the go there you go you guys did some really cool stuff here like for real like this is actually pretty impressive I mean no one should ever do this but it's cool things you could say about like half of our videos don't do this but it's cool right right oh Italy oh hey we're spinning yeah look it's led to its red hey so much louder that's gonna be so far everything is actually working pretty well yeah but the real test is gonna be you can't play for tonight I just realized I have to play on this this you know shoulder buttons and and it's I've got two shoulder buttons then wait wait wait this isn't even this it has wh I'm not doing this why not look at how tiny these keyboard is one finger covers up half of it I just hear whining and whoa look at that world I'm going to buy an epic settings at 1080p alright computer has more faith alright well it's running as the graphics card is not on fire yet wait hang on yep no it's fine it's fine make sure it's fine the game is totally playable if we actually had like a mouse and keyboard or even a controller this is not actually included in the budget we did add this hyper column next boxing dance actually I really really I got all excited first it's like oh sweet I'd have to use a stupid little keypad but now I'm like it's also the cheapest ice walk to throw we can find which i think is like a requirement for a fortnight right and we're getting a salad sixty frames per second for the most part I go it dips a little bit here and there but this is a very playable PC you get to know the settings and get it consistency Oh what was that why what's going on it's okay it's it's a it's a quirk I think this guy's just dying look at that look like that did not look like a graphics issue it'll look like a screen catch is good I'd make me feel a little bit better just just keep an eye on this okay no pcs fault your PC U is on that's pathetic that's really well anyway hopefully you guys enjoyed this wonderful Ken bolito production thanks to everyone who contributed to this video for all the work that you guys did on this amazing fortnight setup don't ever do this actually do
