0:20 i had this board and it wasnt a pre-build
I agree for current prices but I'd offer that there was a time during the Bitcoin phase where prebuilts were the only way to get graphics cards and RAM closest to MSRP. I decided to try one during that time (when my PC died) and have been slowly upgrading all the parts. Great video 👌

I mean might as well spend the entire budget on the CPU. Atleast it's a nice box to look at.
But yes realisticly 3800X/9900K for gaming only and 3950X/3960X for content creation + other stuff.
AMD for PCIE 4.0! Me an AMD 3700x on a x570 ASUS board with 2 NVME 1tb drives. PCIE 4.0 allows more storage and is ready for next gen graphics card. I'm using 7 SATA ports in addition to the 2 NVME drives without any add-in card and still have room to grow. The AMD 3800X does not give much of a boost in performance over the 3700X for the increased price unless you can find it on sale. The AMD platform also gives a superior CPU upgrade path over Intel which is constantly changing their socket design. No I'm not am AMD fanboy; in fact this was my first AMD build and I used Intel prior.

Now do the reverse of this. Build a computer with the exact specs of the pre built, but for the cheapest you can.
most of the time pre builts are cheaper but for that price you can do better
You can't. Because you don't know the ram speed.

I feel like I joined an elite club when I built my first PC a few weeks ago. Having a computer this nice is a real dream come true for me, and though I spent a lot on it, I'm so glad I got a good value for it. I went to a website where they listed the components for a pc build and put in Amazon links so I could add it all to my cart and upgrade anything I felt like splurging more on, like the SSD and the ram. It's also nice to know exactly what is in my computer.
I just built my first ever PC yesterday.
Worse experience of my life.
It took me 10-12 hours to figurd that shit out.
All the screws the wires the connectors.
I learned a lot but fuck.
If you felt like you belong to an elite club. I felt like I was conned into thinking how enjoyable and easy it would be lol
@@halcyonramirez6469 Yeah, whoever told you that it would be easy definitely lied. It's extremely complicated. My cables are still kinda ugly in there.
Splurging on the ssd? I hope you splurge on storage capacity instead of going "higher" tier ssd (as even m.2 have various prices).
@@Crustee0 Yes, that's what I meant. I got a similar ssd to the one listed on the website but with 1 tb rather than 500 gb.
@Daniel Vipin You're probably way smarter than I am then. By a lot.
we should require all low end power supply’s to come with a included fire extinguisher
Some of the same low end power supply is basically the same power supply that you are using, with a different reputable sticker. GN Greatwall PSU example.
A fire extinguisher cost around the same as a power supply, sooo
@@AlfaPro1337 well that is why you see reviews mate and don't recommend any PSU that is not 80+ rated
Like Austin evans
I've been using a $50 power supply for 4 years no issues , meanwhile my corsair mx550 shuts off every 2 days and its only 6 months old
I understand that some are intimidated in building their own pc. I consider myself as non-tech savy, but I've already built 2 systems/rigs and it's a really cool experience, its not very hard. You get to choose your own parts, how powerful you want it to be, taking in consideration your budget. I highly recommend it!
Its easier than building legos
To be fair, switching between the power supply manual and the motherboard manual my first time was very overwhelming! But still, it is fun
@@ShinGidora The part that took the longest for me was making sure I got the wirings for the front IO right, the rest of the build was pretty much a breeze. Well, the cable management took some time as well.
Waldran1995 same here!! Liquid cooling and figuring out the intake/exhaust direction of the fans also added to the time 😅 next time should be smoother
I got a pre built back in 2014. With the parts it had, that pre built was cheaper than buying all parts seperately. It was GTX 760 paired with an i5-4570 and 8GB of RAM along with a 1TB drive. Paid 750 euros for it. The card alone was 300 euros back in the day, as for the CPU it was probably 250€ but I don't remember too well. The only thing that concerned me was the cheap power supply from an unknown brand but it ended up lasting 6 years. Since then I have changed all parts individually at one point. I would say for the first time, it's okay to get a pre built as long as you understand the specs and value they offer so you don't get scammed. After that, just buy the hardware you need.
well i have seen awful prebuilts
such as the "10 core" "gaming pc", and very vague specs such as
intel i5, 8 gigabytes ram, 1tb storage, nvidia gpu
Nvidia GPU lmao
Nvidia gpus are cool and all unlesd they aren't gtx 1660 or 1650 or outdated but yeah prebuilds suck
aholes say i5 then gives a gen1 i5.a gen1!
Some SIs sell systems with unspecified DDR3 RAM. That's by far the worst.
@@CSEabdulalimkhan a first generation i5 is still a i5 but my i3 8100 outperforms every non k i5 from before 6th gen since 7th gen i5s actually somewhat outperform the i3 8100

Kyle this is a very useful and informative video for 1st timers. I have never bought an off-the-shelf PC. My current PC is a self-build, but my previous 3 were custom builds by a company in the UK called PC Specialist. They work similar to a parts pickers and then they build your PC to your spec, you probably have a myriad of companies in the US who do the same thing. I found this very helpful as, until now, I wasn't very confident in building a PC myself.

It really depends on where you're living and who are you buying that pc from. Here in romania you get a much better value from prebuilt pcs.

Back when I bought my first prebuild, I was about fifteen, they had put in an insufficient PSU without me knowing.
It burned my GPU. We went back, they replaced it. Three months later, burned again.
That day however, my mom's best friend and a PC enthusiast was downstairs chillin'.
I asked him what it could be (crying ofcourse, as I still believed it was my fault) so he went and checked.
The minute he realized the PSU had nowhere near enough power to supply the CPU and GPU during games, he went back to the store with me.
Now if I had to describe my mom's best friend, he looked closest to Butterbean; the big fat bald boxer.
They gave me a GTX 960 off the shelf for free five minutes later, which was a 300 bucks card at the time. My mom's friend ended up paying for a new PSU to support it the same day.
tl'dr : prebuild vendors will fuck you over, get a friend that's over 400lb's.

Well friend I happen to have the very motherboard he showed on the pic, and its cheap as hell (I only use it because my old PC needed a new board with a compatible socket for an i5 6400), it was cheap as hell back in 2014 - 2016 when it was released too, they are the low end boards that ASRock makes to address the budget market. They are not bad mind you, I currently run my VR PC headset with one and it performs very reliably but they are severely limited in features. Only 2 ram slots, no NVMe support, no overclock at all as the power delivery is as barebones as it gets and you only get a single PWM connection for a case fan so airflow on a prebuilt using it sucks unless the system integrator spends money on an extra fan controller.

@my pfp is awesome sauce it's a g4560 what do u expect
I would really love to see him go on like iBuypower or another system integrator website because on those websites you get to pick the parts and I think that would make a comparison like this great because you could use the same parts!
All that your gonna see is every part costs 20-30% more.
@JeremyCuddles If you find a deal like that go for it. I just bought a pc a few days ago and when cross checking (US prices) I found most components to cost more and there was less selection.
I literally just did that. I "customized" a pre-built on ibuypower. They had a great deal a bunch of free stuff and with rayzen 7 3800x and a 2070 super for 2000 and that's with military discount. Went on pcpartpicker and it was the same price not including the mouse and keyboard and other free stuff. Pcpartpicker is the way to go and always build on your own but if ibuypower has great deals going on i don't see why not.
@@TheBUGZNTA I'm willing to pay more for convenience I really dont care lol
2018 bought my first prebuilt since 1995. Bought it so I did not have to read up on the newest parts. Upgraded power supply, dropped in a GTX 1060 3gb card, added 8 more gigs of memory for 16, and it plays everything I need.
A year ago: "build your own pc, its cheaper."
2021: people now buying prebuilds just for graphics cards and lack of other components because everything is inflated and its cheaper to buy a prebuilt than it is to build your own. Madness...
Crazy times to be a pc builder.
IKR!
I was going to build my own, but it was too intimidating, so I recently bought an iBuyPower prebuilt for $1249
-RTX 2060 Super
-Ryzen 7 3700x
-16 gb ddr4 3200
-asus prime b550 plus
-600w psu 80+ gold
-500 gb ssd & a 1tb hdd
i added all the parts into pcpartpicker and got around the same price, so I think it was worth it. Wont know until it ships though.
;/
Bro same, all though I wasn’t intimidated by the build it self, the demand for the RTX 3070 ruined that😂 So, I’m ordering a prebuilt with a 3600x with a 3070
It is actually pretty solid for $1250.
This is making me wanna build my own pc. Im currently saving up for the parts.
Same I'm saving up for Christmas 2021

I'm getting a redux PC, they're really good prebuilts and they on look y havea $75 build fee. You can see the exact parts in the PC btw, and you can customize it.
Pre-built is kinda good today(If you look hard enough and carefully check each part) because of the GPU's sky high prices.

i have seen this in the past 8700k 8gb ram 1050ti vr ready
James Wiley 😂 when are people gonna realize the 1050ti is straight shit
James Wiley man a 1050ti isn’t even rated for vr haha edit: I guess for the minimum for the lowest res headsets it can be but we all know it won’t run
Prebuilts normally go to the lowest recommended power supply never lower. Also never seen a pre built that gives 8gb ram a i3 with a 20 series card you are full of shit lol. Anyone who actually shops around for pre builts will see that most of them are very respectable price for parts. Have seen a rtx 2060 super i7 9700 16gb ram 550w power supply very solid case a cheap but still after market and better cpu cooler for 1k. Even in DIY you would struggle to beat that when the cpu and gpu alone cost 700.
I feel like pre builts get a bad rep from morons like you because you shop in the most idiotic places ever. You are probably on walmart or ebay trying to look up a good prebuilt lol. There is never a bad deal when buying a pre built because it is you who decides what you buy. If you don't put in some time and effort to shop around and find a good machine then of course you would settle for bullshit like you said and judge all pre builts off that. People are just so lazy that they refuse to put in any time to research actual good deals.
So random
Just built my first PC after watching a few of your videos. There were some discrepancies, but I'd wager they could easily be chalked up to us using different equipment. Thanks for the information and PC education.
I actually got a pretty good prebuilt. I knew it was a bad idea from the start, but I had people yelling at me saying I'm not good enough to build a PC myself, so I got one from Best Buy. It's actually great so far and I'm happy with it.
No you didn't
18:20 the ram stick isn’t even in the second slot, it’s in the forth slot

I wished he had a PC Part's list set up for this so I can copy and paste it. And change a couple of parts.
This is exactly why I'm building my own for Christmas
same :)
I'm working and getting the parts for my birthday and Christmas for a $1100 build.
18:09 they used that cooler because when they order the CPUs in bulk, they don’t get the wraith coolers.
It's crazy that in 2021, it's more advisable to go prebuilt now haha you can't build a budget pc even if you tried nowadays
Plua, prebuilts aren't some proprietary anomaly like consoles. You can upgrade them just the same as a home build. Find a prebuilt that's core base gives you room to upgrade the cheaper bits and bobs.
1:58 Why do I feel like Lyle is about to take over?
"This chip is the bees knees"...... hmm that sounded like lyle, something fishy is going on here.......
Third party parts?
When in doubt gigabyte it out.
That cyberpower one that was throughout the intro was almost the exact same one that I bought before learning how to build PCs.
I'd rather by a pre-built than do a DIY if I was Stefan Entienne.
The Hollanesian verge guy right?
@@tanishqbhaiji103 Yes.
I found a prebuilt for $900 on sale for $618 and it says all of brands and names of the parts and it adds up to the same price if you were to buy the same parts on Amazon.
Some are alright for the money you pay if you can get them on offer. Again though, make sure they haven't cheaped out on components, especially the power supply. Across the board, prebuilts are often not as good value for money, or cut corners compared to if you choose components yourself.
You can get deals on their older builds sometimes, for sure.
I just priced one out on cyberpower compared to partpicker, and it worked out with exactly the same around a 150 dollar difference, which imo is fair for labor costs.

Hi linus tech tips
While many of the points made in this video were once true, COVID-19 has completely changed the PC building landscape to the point that this video, at least for now during the pandemic, is totally FALSE. You can now buy pre-builts for MUCH cheaper than sourcing the parts and assembling them yourself. This is because there are now massive shortages of PC parts and the prices have SKYROCKETED. Take this prebuilt PC for example from Best Buy (and the SAME brand Kyle critiques in the video): Skytech Gaming - Shadow Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER - 500GB SSD - Black. It costs $999.99 and there is NO WAY you can build a similar PC with the same CPU, GPU, SSD size/speed and RAM size/speed for less than $1,200 EVEN if you skimp out and buy the cheapest parts available, which is EXACTLY the complaint made in the video. Maybe Kyle should do a COVID-19 update to this video cause as of right now during the pandemic, it's HUGELY misleading especially now when PC purchases are on the rise due to kids needing computers at home for distance learning or office workers needing to work from home. Otherwise, great video!
lol yeah not to mention youre not even gonna be able to find most nvidia cards above 2060 since theyve cut production for the launch of the new line.
I had this at Christmas. Found a pre built for 100 pounds less than building it myself. Perfect deal.
Oh so it was a good thing that I bought my pre-build pc then lol, after he mentioned of the pc that I specifically actually bought, it made me think of wanting to just buy a new case and replace the bad parts and upgrade better ones just so I don't feel bad..
I’d reccomend using something such as micro soft builder.
Essentially you choose the parts and pay them like 150$ to pay them
I would build peoples PCs for free
Child of Shrek
I wouldn’t. Imagine if you broke your friends cpu or something. I’d feel so bad. Besides it would take a while, so I’d rather be playing or doing hw
2021:a year where prebuilds are better value for money than diy

1:06 those haphazardly placed caps that aren't even straight, the same height or black make me want to throw up. What is this, 2008?
those are 'audio grade' caps and were manually soldered seeing as they're large through-hole components.
When I saw them bent i cried
@@spdf3657 How they were placed does not diminish the fact that they look absolutely disgusting. The PCB of my 67€ DAC from China looks more orderly and it's hidden in a metal box.
Re: the versa H18 there's plenty of space behind the motherboard and cable management is really easy
Theres some retail suppliers who also build custom PCs. You can pick all the parts down to the cables colours, can also buy softwares from them. they build and test it and install and update everything and comes with 12 months store warranty on everything, so if say your cpu was defective after 6 months, bring back to store and they will diagnose and repair or replace or refund and deal with the manufacturer themselves. Charge is normally $100-150 depending on the build. So you know exactly what you get, professional advice on parts and build, professionally put together install and tested and full parts and labour warranty.
In New Zealand, it's actually cheaper to buy pre-builts, likely due to shipping issues.
Depends where you buy it - when I was looking (before custom building) PB Tech seemed to push the price a little bit
way cheaper here in thailand, the stores can import these at way less tax prices but to get any decent parts i have to pay at least 30% more than in the states
Do you know of any good places to buy prebuilt pc's from in NZ?
deez biscuits I would say either PB Tech, computerlounge, playtech or extremePC. They are what come to mind - but I’d still go with custom built. Better parts for the same price - a lot changes in 2 months.
When I add up everything I put into my PC it comes up over $1,000. My PC is no $1,000 PC though.

i went with an SI this year to replace my aging FX8350, GTX 760 build finally after 8 years of solid performance. The SI I went with however allowed me to basically hand pick every single component in the box down to the wiring and while it was pricier than doing it myself by the tune of 200 or so bucks, I'm pleased with the quality of the box i got. Frankly only reason i went with the SI is...Laziness. I just didnt want to be bothered with piecing everything together myself :D

I wish they would. I absolutely despise those plastic compression fit knobs. They're a pain to secure. I had one fail on me a few months ago because the white plastic that goes through the motherboard had become brittle with age.
They don't do well with a lot of re installations either.
Those little white tabs break off very easily and each installation weakens them more until they finally break off.

I just wanna say kudos for mentioning and acknowledging those with disabilities who may not be in a position to make their own build. I find quite often techtubers often not only overlooking their RUclips privilege (eg hey, money is a thing people need to buy nice things normally lol) but most of the time act like differently abled people don't exist. So kudos Bitwit for mentioning that 👍🏻 I'm physically disabled and for the longest time it was a completely invisible illness, and the struggle is REAL. Keep it up 👍🏻🤓
