Trying to game on the CHEAPEST NEW PC you can buy in 2021...

today's video idea comes per viewer request and by viewer request i mean multiple extended badgering sessions i'm just messing with you today we're going to build the cheapest brand new pc that you can buy in the united states today and then we're gonna try and play some games on the little abomination which kind of went as badly as you'd expect honestly if i had to describe this build in one word it would be industrial chemical accident and weirdly this is like the only system that all of these parts are actually in stock at the moment so if you want to buy a pc right now this may kind of be your only bet but yeah all in all the system costs less than 200 to build but before that we have a sponsor for today's video to help pay for the little potato today's video is sponsored by skillshare which is an online learning community with thousands of inspiring classes you can learn about building confidence or doing watercolors in the woods art journaling for self-care is something that anna's been getting into lately and you can also learn about plants at home to uplift your spirit in space which is pretty cool this is a class by christopher griffin and it's for people who want the positive power of plants that look all nice inside it's a it's a good way to decorate your house without knowing anything about decoration if if if that's something that you're into as hardware canucks has showed all of us i probably can't talk about them in an ad spot but that's okay skillshare is also affordable at less than 10 a month with an annual subscription so it means that no matter what terrible things 2021 brings you you will still be able to learn new skills the first thousand people to use the link in my description below will get a free trial of skillshare premium membership you know just to dip your toes in there and see how you feel about it before taking the plunge so with that thank you very much skillshare for sponsoring this video [Music] and here we have the pile of disappointment starting out with this little box which is not only the cpu but also the graphics card for today's build and the cooler so this is like 75 of the build uh now it's a celeron g5900 and as we all know intel reserves its celeron branding for only the best of the best it's a dual core cpu with no hyper threading i'm not entirely sure why intel still sells two threaded cpus in 2021 i guess it's for the glory of cthulhu or whatever other reason until it makes all their dumbass decisions as far as the integrated graphics goes it's got intel uhd 610 graphics in it which is like the uhd 620 graphics and all of their normal people cpus that's just been stabbed in the throat a couple times but not only that we're pairing the celeron with a single 4 gig stick of ram so the performance on this system is going to be a real kick in the balls the part that i'm by far the most worried about is the power supply and it's a 500 watt single rail unit by a brand called coolmax which i've never heard of before and this thing looks real sketchy it makes me more uncomfortable than making eye contact at a urinal next up we have some case by rosewill i don't actually know what it's called but luckily rosewill is well known in the industry for their excellent craftsmanship so i think we're in good hands here i mean just look at how tiny this box is i'm really excited to build in this case the motherboard i've actually used in a video before and it's an msi h410 m80x board and well actually i was pleasantly surprised by how well it handled the 10 core 20 thread intel cpu so yeah it's more than up to the task of that little little celeron cpu and then finally we have the ssd which is only 60 gigs that means that the windows installation is going to take up like half of the ssd but it's an ssd in the cheapest build ever so i'm not really complaining this is not looking very promising here um but let's get it open and have a closer look this packaging is real poo poo garbage but at least the case is really nice and light so it's not like the packaging has to stand up to too much abuse what a beauty look at all of that airflow and as they always say nothing says high-end like a huge amount of cheap gloss black plastic we've got some ventilated cutouts on the side very nice and that paired with the very low power cpu that we're using for this build i think this system is going to have some crazy good temperatures in the back we've got a fan included in the exhaust position and as you can see it's an m80x case which will be a perfect fit for our m80x motherboard now if you look in through the back you can see there's also an intake fan so again temperatures are going to be real good and on the inside we've got a case that takes most of its design cues from the 1970s cable management may be a bit of a nightmare in this case but we'll see maybe it goes fine ah it's got a nice strong smell of factory not meeting minimum safety criteria next up is this beautiful weaponizable power supply oh hell yeah whoa it's so light speaking of strong chemical smells holy crap what is that smell it just keeps getting stronger um there's not a huge amount of connectors here but that's good that'll help for cable management especially as far as the actual rating of the power supply goes we've got a 34 amp 12 volt rail that does most of the heavy lifting in this beast i feel like i need a radiation suit to interact with this thing what the hell but i mean there are two peas in a pod [Music] oh would you look at that both the power supply and the inside of this case are six month old cadaver gray it kind of makes you feel like they were made in the same factory i wonder we've got a factory fresh celeron here we have the stock intel cooler which as far as reputation goes is essentially the enron of cpu coolers there's a joke you youngans won't get [Music] and that's it this is like the majority of the pc and as we all know nothing says high performance like a combination of poo brown and fungal infection green come on get just get in there oh there we go now i'm being a real badass today because i'm building this whole system without having checked that any of these components work so yeah i'm hopeful hopefully it doesn't backfire on me no it's ssd time uh it's got a plastic body which is quite unusual for an ssd also got a reasonably strong chemical smell which seems to be a bit of a trend with these with these really budget components there doesn't seem to be any dedicated ssd mounting so i guess we're gonna have to just it's just that's that's kind of gonna have to do [Music] okay it's the moment of truth let's see if this human rights violation works uh turn it on like that oh someone's in a fan oh oh no no okay that may or may not have been the uh fan cable being stuck in the in in the stock intel cooler but problem solved let's see now if it works uh modernity overclock failed what you talking about you're you're a loser motherboard you can't overclock anyway let's install windows and see how this thing runs okay there we go we're sitting at a solid well i mean i wouldn't say solid but we're sitting around at around what just under 20 frames per second here it's looking fresh um but i mean it's running you know we're at 720p here again i don't know how well this is going to show up in the video because there's a lot of upscaling going on you know in like premiere pro and stuff but it looks genuinely awful but what's interesting is that the cpu is actually stuck at a hundred percent utilization so i i don't i i actually think that the cpu is bottlenecking the igpu don't think that's something i've ever seen before yo that's so crazy that the depending on the situation it's not the igbo that's the bottom cs go at 720p is actually not too bad uh we're still getting the cpu bottlenecking the igpu which is hilarious um but yeah i mean it's i okay i wouldn't call it playable like i wouldn't want to competitively play csgo with with this frame rate but you know it's it's not the worst there's not much going on here though because you know with cs go you can't use overlays and play online for example so yeah i'm just walking around an empty map here so the frame rate may be worse with stuff like actually i should go buy a smoke grenade but i mean still it's not it's not terrible you know it's kind of playable it's not looking great for shadow of the tomb raider i mean that's not something i'd call playable this is only the built-in benchmark because it's late and i don't feel like starting a new game um but yeah i mean we're getting nine frame frames per second you know what they say nine equals great time this is at 720p with the lowest settings available so this is actually the first game where the cpu doesn't bottleneck the igpu so i mean it's it's close hey far cry loaded in it failed the first time but the second attempt is i don't know if i'd call this working but it's it's it's launched in yeah this is this is pretty much not running and i actually think the reason that it's not is because of ram i i think because far cry is an open world game it it can't run on four gigs of ram half-life 2 is always like my go-to test for like loser hardware um and it seems to be holding up pretty well i mean i've had much worse half-life 2 gaming experiences than this hey wow okay so half-life 2 isn't using that much ram it's it's running pretty well i mean this is very playable and we're at 1080p settings are pretty much cranked one of the reasons that i really like using half-life 2 as an example uh with all of this you know like really lame ass hardware it's because even with something like this which really struggles to play anything you can still play games and have a good time with it and with that it's obviously a complete potato i mean was anybody expecting anything differently for just like the bottom of the barrel components none of this is designed to be gamed on at all you know and it's not just performance wise that you're gonna have issues with it reliability may be a problem as well with that chemical hazard of a power supply in there this whole room still smells like a fracking site honestly it's ridiculous however if you don't live in the united states and you don't have the option to buy like a secondhand optiplex and throw like a low profile graphics card in there to get much better gaming performance for the same money it's not the worst thing ever like it's not like you can't game with it at all yes you can't play modern aaa titles but you know most of them suck anyway right so like you can still have a good time with this system and if it's your only option it's not the worst thing ever except for that power supply i would not want to have that running in my house for any extended period of time lest it summons be alzebab or whatever but with that thank you very much for watching if you
