How NOT to Build a Gaming PC in 2018 #Helpful Post

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
