@@ayushmangupta5562 its 156 yen to the dollar right now. basically if you want to compare it to the pre covid era everything now here in japan is 30% discounted from the actual price you are seeing with how bad the japanese yen currently.
AKIBA IS THE GOAT FOR EVERYTHING NERDY! I saw many PC stuff when I visited, but bringing home a graphics card wasn't on my bucket list. But given Japan's reputation for having an excellent secondhand market, I will sure to consider this the next time I visit! Edit: Also it helps when they put anime girls on non-anime items lol, makes me wanna buy it even more
God I loved this video. Major scrapyard wars vibes but somehow even better with how the pacing was done. Mr Yee once again proving he is one of the best story tellers on the platform
This video is an absolute delight to watch! The concept of building PCs in different countries is incredibly fascinating. Plus, the dynamic camera movements really enhance the excitement, making me feel like I'm part of the action!
Bro, im glad your videos got recommended again in my feed, watching your vids is so nostalgic. You are one of the tech youtuber i watch back when i was new in pc building!
Kris with the simple Kore and arigato 👏👏 Simple Japanese shows so much respect being over there. I just love how polite they are to show you maps of where to go as well. A wonderful example of how to buy parts in Japan.Great video Kris!
I remember my uncle building one pc and all of it from junk shop and dump sites. Was able to build 3 pc with good specs but that was around 2007. My uncle said that some people throw away the parts,pc or some appliances once a new one has been released. I also remember he mailed us an old tv
Hello Kristoher, can you make a tutorial video about each computer hardware components and how they should be built in order to work efficiently? I am new to the channel and I love your pc building videos so I’d love to learn more about everything in the PC. ❤ Thank you!
Hey, I bought one of your first PCs. Met you at a Starbucks in Vegas. You accidentally miscounted the money and gave me back $20 or $40 because you thought I miscounted. Anyhow, im amazed at how large your subs have grown. Keep up the great vids.
Same prices with parts here in the Philippines, guess being near the manufacturer does that. PC parts here are currently so cheap it's so ez to upgrade your PC, even laptops and phones are so cheap right now, downside is everything else in at an all time high
First time viewer, you kiiinda remind me of Robert California. I hope that's a compliment because I for sure meant it as such. Loved this video, I've been to this exact store last year and you're 100% on it, it was HEAVEN for me. I also loved the tiny electronic part sellers in ally ways; You could fix every component on the motherboard in that area I'm sure of it.
You should make a video where you got to several different countries in the world and build a pc in each of them. You can compare the prices and experience in doing so.
"K, I got this. I know my way around Akihabara. ...This is odd. When I came here before, this was a PC parts shop." "When exactly was this?" "Twenty-five years ago." "That's the distant past. What're you, Frieren?" "Himmel and I used to get graphics cards here." *cue flashback*
So, the parts were: Ryzen 5 3600 ASRock X570 Steel Legend 16 GB RAM GTX 1070 512 GB SK Hynix DRAM-less SSD Thermaltake Smart BX1 Bronze Cheap no-brand case So... A GPU from 2016, and a CPU from 2019 for only $350, much of the parts refurbished / used. Not bad, but let's see what the US market can fix that with new parts...

Watching this made me miss Japan. Was just there 3 weeks ago and already wanna go back. I had no time to visit these stores but I did goto Akihabara. I’m bummed.
this feels like you just read my mind lol , i'm living in Minato and i'm going to build my new pc in this saturday, i collect money from over a year to build my entire setup. One of my japanese friend recommend me to go tsukumo cause they have everything in one place. for some reason i am very happy for this video ha ha. (sorry english is not my native)
i talk to people from Japan daily at the airport. when they tell me how much Yen they have it sounds like a lot but I convert it and it's like pennies lol
This video was extremely entertaining! I hope your relationship with your SO didn’t take a hit because of it, lol I could sense her annoyance when you arrived with the pc parts lol
Ryzen 3600 was pretty much my covid special lol. I built so many machine from around that time using the same chip because it was hard to beat back then for only $150 or sometimes $120 used
My personal computer specs are not far with what you have built in Japan lol. R5 / 16GB (2x8GB) RAM / GTX 1070 Btw your keyboards looks simple but good. But again, maybe I am just old now, so I only use full size keyboards lol
I was kinda shocked, not from this video, but even before, when i saw the PC hardware prices for Japan. Its pretty much same as here in Canada. I thought Japan would get the best deals?
350 really good, last time I was able deal that good was 2 years ago. Bag me some i3 10th gen, 1650 pc 27 inch monitor included. take out the ssd and power supply for myself and sold the rest for pretty much the same price.
still not too bad that you build yourslef that great. Lucky you know about computer is the best thing to do. next time buy good cpu cooler like mirage cpu cooler aio. I miss japan when i travel.
Theres always that guy on reddit who saves lives of millions but we never thank him
This USD to YEN exchange rate is at a historic level. This was actually pretty interesting.

honestly these types of content are just really cute. Seeing how a language barrier can be broken buy a guy so eager to get a good deal.

"The rooms aren't very big."
Understatement of the year.
Watching you put together a PC on a bed is like: 🤯

More jank yee !!! I love seeing your budget and scrapyard wars type content
Nice that I found you, I know you from the old Craigslist gaming pc videos. You look healthy
Stationed in Okinawa can’t wait to take a trip to Mainland and while I’m there stop here
Looking at the map took me back to the yakuza games
Definitely checking out these stores this weekend!!
I MISS THIS CLASSIC KRISTOFERYEE COMPUTER BUILDS 😭😭😭
Heh, this is one of the shops I frequent at Akihabara. There are a lot of used shops in that very same street.

Gotta watch a couple Tech Yes City videos. He and Marco are always scoring deals, whether in Japan or Taiwan. Should have asked Bryan for pointers!
Dang this is awesome...i think i can get away with new GPU and M.2 SSD in japan. Thanks for venturing jaoan for us chris
Scenic route…standing sushi bar…same thing 😄
Damnn I haven’t seen this guy in years
The build portion of the vid has the vibes of an addict getting their fix 😂😂😂
Gotta go back to the old building music
This really like buying lego and build it on the bed. Classic childhood
bigshout to my man nar0 saved the entire video
gonna stop by those stores in Japan someday soon. thanks for the vid
good to see you upload again kris ❤
Can you put the specs somewhere, those are some insane benchmarks for the price.
If you do come in the Philippines, would love to see you do the same content here! Much love.
this feels like you just read my mind lol , i'm living in Minato and i'm going to build my new pc in this saturday, i collect money from over a year to build my entire setup. One of my japanese friend recommend me to go tsukumo cause they have everything in one place. for some reason i am very happy for this video ha ha. (sorry english is not my native)
Pog a long form vid
i talk to people from Japan daily at the airport. when they tell me how much Yen they have it sounds like a lot but I convert it and it's like pennies lol
Simplest way to think is that 1 yen is a penny. Technically 2/3 of a penny but yeah
I liked, commented and was already subscribed. I’m such a rebel.
This video was extremely entertaining! I hope your relationship with your SO didn’t take a hit because of it, lol I could sense her annoyance when you arrived with the pc parts lol
Fantastic video, the only disappointing part is that you picked the RGB power supply over the waifu power supply 😢
Yeah the RGB psu is a tier F psu. The waifu one is tier C
Ryzen 3600 was pretty much my covid special lol. I built so many machine from around that time using the same chip because it was hard to beat back then for only $150 or sometimes $120 used
Now i know where to buy computer parts for cheap
Welcome Back! :) Please continue to post.
What have you been doing in Japan to have "just one day off"?
My personal computer specs are not far with what you have built in Japan lol. R5 / 16GB (2x8GB) RAM / GTX 1070

2 minutes in japan after it closes is a big deal. XD It really is, not even joking. Japan's timeframes are literally rocksolid.

Now THIS is why I’m subbed 🔥
So glad you're back!
It’s actually wild spending 350 dollars on computer parts in Japan.
I was kinda shocked, not from this video, but even before, when i saw the PC hardware prices for Japan. Its pretty much same as here in Canada. I thought Japan would get the best deals?
HOLY the prices are inSANE
Exactly what i need for my next year(my budget only 500$)
Dude just arigato'ed his way out like half the video 😂😂
