This inappropriately sexy gaming PC, with
its RTX 3080 AIO conversion kit in it and an 11 900K with 32 gigs of RAM running at
3200 megahertz, is my personal gaming PC and for today's video I'm gonna take it, and the entire
associated gaming setup around it, that I use, and throw it in the trash! Well, not really... but
i'm gonna throw it in the trash and replace it with a significantly worse gaming setup,
that at its center has this: an Acer Loser Nitro Suck-Face Edition which I bought from
Best Buy. It has a 1650 in it and everything! But before we get into that though, it's
time for a word from today's video sponsor! **Sings HOOONNNEEYYYY** Today's video is sponsored by the Rootinest
Money Tootniest browser extrudingist(?) um I can't quite remember where I was going with
this, but it's sponsored by Honey! Basically how Honey works, is it's like an internet coupon cowboy
that wrangles you some savings. All you do is get Honey and when you're checking out, you do some
honey and it'll look for the best coupons it can find to maybe save you some money on your cart. Now
if you're a regular viewer of the channel you'll know that I have a little bit of a pre-built
gaming PC buying addiction and Honey works quite well at reducing the financial sting of buying
all of those terrible pre-builts. Especially when you buy them from major companies. If this sounds

Thank you Honey for sponsoring today's video! now before we tear this all down and replace it
with something a bit less shiny, let me quickly talk you through what I'm using here. Starting
with the keyboard, which is a Drop ENTR, if I'm not mistaken. This has the Gateron Yellow switches
and a key-cap set also from Drop. I really like it. It's a very nice keyboard and it does
keyboard things well and then I've got this uh this aftermarket cable that a viewer
actually made for me, so thank you very much! Next up we've got the mouse which is, I think it's
called the Zephyr Pro, it's that mouse with the fan in it which is quite nice. I'm quite a cheesy
gamer so it's pretty cool having a mouse that cools your gross man-hands for you. And then I use
it on this Dawid Does Tech Stuff mouse-pad. Nice! Now, when it comes to my headphones I have this pair of
Beyerdynamic DT 770's which sound really great. They block out background noise really well and with
these aftermarket huge pads, they're very comfy. My main problem with them though is that they've
got this in-line volume switch, which is really terrible. Because every time you accidentally
touch it, it screws up the channel balance between left and right and then it takes
you a while of struggling to fix it again and it's hardwired to the headphones so you can't
just replace it. Which is really annoying. Now in terms of my main display, I have this 27-inch
1440P high refresh rate IPS BenQ display. Which I really like. The image quality is
good and it's very nice for gaming. The only thing is this is the second one. The first,
one the power supply actually caught on fire on stream and I sent that back to BenQ for them to do
some diagnostics on it and they sent this one as a replacement. Now, I haven't heard back from them
about it yet, although I did some research and it doesn't seem to be a common issue with these
displays. So I should actually follow up with BenQ about that. Oh and I also use an amazon basics Vesa
arm so that I can get the monitor into like, eye-height. That was the other issue with this monitor,
is that it comes with a really terrible stand. Next up we have the microphone. It's just a Rode pod
mic on a Rode arm with a, I think it's a 2i2 gen 3. Which is a Focusrite Interface that works
pretty well with this. Uh I just use it to shout at people on the internet. Generally I do
really like my gaming setup and my awesome PC over there as well. So it is, uh it's pretty sad
that I'm gonna have to give it up for a month. Now the whole point of my month-long interstellar
journey with the SS Loser Nitro Suck-Face is to see what it's like living with an OEM
pre-built from a company that has a bit of an Alma possession problem and I think it'll be
interesting to compare it to a more 'Baller' gaming setup. Now first things first, let me quickly
talk you through the 'budget' setup. I'm going to be using for the month, starting with the system
itself which I bought from Best Buy. At its core it has a Ryzen 5 5600G and it was a pretty good
CPU paired with a single 8 gig stick of ram.. Now, considering that there is a 78% chance that this
RAM configuration will give me Leprosy, I am gonna upgrade that with a single 16 gig stick of random
pre-built RAM I found lying around which I'm gonna drop in and the two sticks do actually run in
dual channel and finally the system has some lame GDDR5 OEM version of the GTX 1650 in it, which
should be interesting considering that I mainly play escape from Tarkov. Now, in order to get an
authentic budget gaming experience I'm also going to swap out the rest of my setup. In terms of the
keyboard, I'm using some Razer keyboard that I got from Walmart a while ago... Funnily enough I also
bought the mouse from Walmart, which is one of the higher-end parts of this setup. It is a Logitech
G502 which is a decent mouse. It's pretty good. Now I also got the headset from Walmart, it was all for
the same video. It's called the Razer Kraken X Lite and it's a budget gaming headset. Another part
that I'm the most excited about is the monitor. I found a Samsung G3 24 inch 1080P high refresh
rate monitor on sale for 220 Canadian dollars and this is probably going to be the best part
of this setup, so yeah! Quite excited about that. Okay, well I guess it's time to say
goodbye to all of this... bye buddy! And while unboxing my fancy new G3 I
realized that I may not have needed to remove my Vesa arm from the desk.. "oh, it has a
Vesa mount on it." So I decided to remount it... Go. In. The. Hole... *Struggle intensifies* So just like that I've Acer Nitro 50 to
my gaming setup. Um, so yeah. I guess I'm gonna do some gaming now, and just
like that my month-long interstellar journey with the SS Loser Nitro Suck-Face has begun... Dawid's log day 53 of our journey on the SS Loser
Nitro. We have encountered a couple of technical difficulties that has led to a waning crew morale. The first problem is a weird blurring motion artifact on the Samsung G3 monitor that the crew
has not been able to diagnose despite changing every monitor parameter and this combined
with a very low fluctuating frame rate while exploring the Escape from Tarkov space,
especially in any territory other than 'Factory' has led to a disorienting gaming experience, which
has resulted in higher than usual crew casualties. Now we have tried to address this
issue by replacing the Samsung G3 with an LG display, which cost about the
same amount of money. This display does not have that motion blurring artifact but the
problem of the low powered engines, leading to a low variable frame rate in the Tarkov space
still remains and then the second problem is that Razer Kraken X Lite gaming headset. The
crew specifically hate that bastard because of its very poor directional audio capabilities
it further increases the danger of navigating the hostile Tarkov space. I am hoping that this
setup's acceptable Dota gaming performance will be enough to carry the crew morale through this
month-long journey. With that Dawid signing out. Dawid's log day 86 and there's been a there's
been a mutiny attempt. The crew are banging at my door as we speak because they've had enough. The
crew are threatening to blow me out the airlock or worse yet, force me to watch the entire 1st
Season of How I Met Your Father featuring Hillary Duff! No worse fate lies in the future of any
man and in a last ditch attempt I have contacted HQ asking them for an upgrade to the engines because
maybe maybe that'll quell the rage of the crew. I don't know. Hopefully it's enough.
Hopefully, hopefully it gets here in time. But, no! I think they've made it. I think
they've made it through the doors!! Dawid's log day 107, crew morale has improved
significantly since we've upgraded from the GTX 1650 engine module to the GTX 1660
Super engine module. We can now, while using low settings, traverse even the more hostile
areas of Tarkov space, including 'Lighthouse'. The instruments do still struggle in
these areas but it's just so much improved. Generally the vibe on the ship is way better
than it was before. We are getting very close to the end of our travels with the SS
Loser Nitro Suck Face. The crew is tired and they are ready for the end of this
journey. And with that, Dawid's log signing out. Now before we get into the most important question
of this whole video, which was the Nitro Alma prevalence over my month with this this pre-built
system. I do want to quickly mention the couple of parts of the setup that I missed the most from
the high-end gaming setup. Number one is very easy, it is the headphones. I really dislike that
Razer headset because it's very uncomfortable and it doesn't breathe well so you get really sweaty
with it very quickly, and the sound quality is not great at all, and it doesn't block sound very
well. Despite being closed-backs. So yeah, I miss my DT770's a lot. Next up from that would probably
be the monitor. To be honest, the 24-inch 1080P monitor was great, but having lived with a 1440P
high refresh rate monitor - being driven well at 27 inch - it's really hard to go back. I'm not
gonna lie. And what did I miss the least from the high-end gaming setup, uh definitely
the keyboard * with an asterisk though. I think that if I got a budget 10 key-less keyboard,
I would have been perfectly happy with it, because a full-sized keyboard is just not that
ergonomic to game with because you just you sit like this, the whole time
and I don't like that at all. But now we get to the most important part of this
video. Basically the entire reason why I spent my month with this Loser Nitro Suck Face setup and
that is: "How prevalent and difficult to deal with was the Alma possession?" Now to test the full
extent of the Alma possession of the system, I didn't reinstall windows on it so it had the stock
windows 11 install on it, and for most of the time I didn't even uninstall Norton the Antivirus
on it. Which, I really wanted to give Alma a chance to just show up in the system and after a
month of using this PC, I had a grand total of not a single software issue with it.. I couldn't
believe it but it was it ran perfectly fine. The biggest issue I had with it was that the 1650
couldn't handle the game that I wanted to play. That was the main problem I had the whole time. Yeah there was the occasional like ad popping up in windows, which annoyed me a bit and like
Norton would show up every now and then, but then I just deleted it and it was fine. Um yeah, I was
like it's actually kind of embarrassing because I went into this going like, "oh this is gonna be
the worst thing ever. It's gonna crash the whole time and I'm gonna just, I'm gonna hate it so much!"...
but, um, it was... it was perfectly fine honestly. Once I upgraded to the 1650, I would just get home and
play video games on it. Like, it was a gaming setup! However, I will say, if all I played was Dota,
I would have been happy with the 1650 in that system. And all of the peripherals in the setup
and everything, even the G3 would have been okay. Granted, that's not saying much because Dota will
run well on an Epilator. But yeah! That.. that was perfectly fine! Don't get me wrong, the higher end
setup - I'm very excited to get back to it, but it's fine! It's just a PC. It worked perfectly
fine. There was just no problems with it, so because of that I actually think that this Acer
Nitro 50 has regained some - just a little bit - of honor. Which means I will now, no longer refer to it
as the 'Acer Loser Nitro Suck-Face Edition' anymore. Just 'the Suck-Face'.. uh.. because it was, it
was still kinda terrible.. and on that just mind-blowing note, I think it's time to end this
video. So if you enjoyed the video, please do like and subscribe to the channel for more videos
