Building a $570 "Escape From L.A" Gaming PC on the Road (VLOG)

2019-01-08
so today's build is gonna be very different gonna be like a build slash flog journey let's see what we can come up with in the end so we just finished the build here this is the initial phase and I'm actually out of solder ports I need to go get one more and I'm going to hit the road at 7 o'clock at night but I've got a 6700 a viewer messaged me because he said he saw where I was in need and he said he has one that he doesn't know if it works or not so he said I could have it for free so I'm I'm gonna go pick that up I'm gonna see if I can also quickly snipe 8 gigabytes of ddr4 memory while I'm out on the road and that would just complete this bill that would then be complete that's if the 6,700 actually works and even if it did work whether it works with this motherboard is another story altogether so we're kind of taking some Gamble's here and hopefully it all pays off but let's see what magic we can do so just got back to the hotel and I went over and saw it Jess and he just took me in and made me dinner and introduced me to his whole family and it's just so nice likes some of you guys out there just so nice to me it's really really good and it just makes doing this whole YouTube thing just that much better I love just the hospitality and all the love you guys give us and yes so that was just it was so awesome meeting you Jess thank you so much you didn't like he said he didn't know if the eye 7,700 worked or not he tried it on a z 270 motherboard he didn't know if it worked and so he gave us a couple of SATA cables as well also gave us a USB wireless dongle because I told him I said I couldn't get the games installed on the first PC I did he's like I got a spare one we haven't used it for years have it and I was like look dude I'll give you some monies like no I don't want money at all just get this CPU and see if it works but anyway let's go and see if this CPU does indeed work so now we've been trying to troubleshoot this thing just to get it all booting up first and it just won't boot with the graphics card installed so we are booting it just off the motherboard at this point in time but it's getting pretty late so I might just check if the i7 works and then maybe try and go into the BIOS or something and resolve this issue because I do want to get this PC built before I get out of here so we're just testing out the i7 now and it indeed doesn't work it's not working like the i-5 was so it could be this motherboard I don't have another model board to test it with but this isn't looking good for this i7 so it's now in the morning and we finally got the gtx 1070 i to work with this motherboard so you turning off the secure boot and then turning on CSM enables it to work fine the problem was the i7 CT 700 didn't work so from here on in we're gonna leave the hotel soon so we're gonna pack up this schmick looking PC and while we're on the road try and piece together a sixty seven hundred and another eight gigabytes of RAM which I think I've secured via a different deal if I'm able to land this different deal then it's probably gonna make up for a video of its own because it's just such good value anyway time to get moving and hit the road so we just picked up the matters deal and it was insane we're gonna report on it laid off but for now I'm gonna pull a snakeskin and escape from LA so we just got back into Vegas and now I finally got some of the stuff listed for sale and here it is here I've got to get rid of this gaming PC straight away so usually I'd ask a little bit more profit but since kind of in a pinch for time I'm just letting it go for a little bit of a profit and then above that is the other deal that we picked up for $50 a pop I'm actually decided to try and flip them because I wanted to get the 8 gigabytes of RAM out of there so we'll actually profit to make and a gigabyte stick if that makes any sense but finally in Vegas and here's the hotel room is actually pretty big it's something like called the real or somethingö this place for like 50 60 Aussie dollars a night which is like 40 USD and then after that going to Treasure Island so see yes here we come but now another thing too is since I had so much luggage I'm gonna bring the other PC back in here and finish that one off so put another 8 gigabytes of RAM in that PC and then try and source that i7 still because one crazy thing about the i7 6700 was I actually had one lined up for 160 us which isn't too bad and also 32 gigabytes of ddr4 memory for another 160 from the same guy so 320 in total and then I try to butter him down just another $20 and he just completely ignored me so I guess the bargain hunting here is a little bit different and that's why it's so far so good because I've only been seeing good deals and then I've only been asking to people just to shave off a little bit even using that terminology new metaphor you guys caught see for the win but now I'm actually getting a little bit sick so I'm gonna get some more vitamin C pump that through me go get some other medication as well because I can't be sick for CES that's like one thing I don't want to be as is sick for the event that's like the whole reason I came here but sure enough it's like winter here and a lot of people are sick and I caught something I'm coming down with something so gonna get some meds and bring that other PC back in here so here is the PC now it is at least in phase one complete because we can out got sixteen gigabytes of ddr4 memory got the i-5 6400 got the 1070 Ti and this pretty wicked-looking case i'm going to give it some props it even has red LEDs underneath so it definitely does look like it could look good with a photo for the flip but besides that I am trying to line up a 6700 for this because it would just complete this PC in my opinion I do have a I guess an inquiry into a 6700 K for a hundred and fifty dollars if we were to pick that up it would leave this build total now which is about five hundred and seventy bucks plus 150 be like 720 but we could then easily flip the i-5 6400 for 50 bucks and even from that 8 gigabyte take out we still have a motherboard and another i-5 6400 available so this is definitely looking like it's been one epic journey so far but if we can't get the 6700 that I'm definitely just gonna flip it as is and because I just don't have time at the moment time is really crucial for me and I just don't have much time but I guess so far with the 2 pcs we've already built there's definitely proving a point that you can get deals in LA and I want to try out Vegas as well after CES so that's sort of another thing I want to try out so la definitely can build a high-end rig can definitely build a budget rig as well this is looking super schmack I'm gonna call it a night now because I'm really tired I'm still feeling a little bit sick and I get a good night's sleep and then see in the morning if I can get that C 700k if not we'll report back so now the next night we've checked in to Treasure Island for CES and that is gonna start right now so this computer is officially finished I guess at what it is and that's with the i-5 6400 and 1070 TI she's thinking of ddr4 SSD hard drive so I'm gonna just try and flip this after the one before that and then yeah because I've got to start CES now so there's no time at all even to make a dedicated video towards this PC even tonight the Nvidia conference was on there now CRT X 2060 so pretty much got a report on that and also Andy's rising 3000 series the rumors surrounding all that will be put to rest and then I've got out a few booths to cover as well so all that's coming up see it's gonna be busy then after that apparently mr. Christopher Yi wants to challenge me in Vegas so essentially with the hostel I'd rather just put all off the sale take it up on mind and then move on to CS and then after that I do maybe one more use PC parts hustle in Vegas and then we move on to Texas so stay tuned for all that guys hope you've been enjoying the content so far la is definitely good for deals there's a lot of deals there other than there for a couple of days and I put together two really good awesome price-performance rigs as opposed to Vegas I won't have time to check that out until after CES so make sure you stay tuned but I've already met up with a couple of cool people already in Vegas are going to see a few more in the next couple of days so make sure you stay tuned enjoy the coverage and if there's any requests you want to see make sure you drop a comment in the comment section below hope you've been enjoying the vlogs and I'll catch them the next tech video very soon peace out for now but you
