    "I’m not going to take an hour to build this computer" video length 1:14:01

    Try building that now in the middle of this shitstorm. The cheapest gaming rig I could build that will run Tarkov on low settings is $850 usd plus tax. Doesn’t include GPU. And yes APU. Penny pinching using a $199 motherboard, $39 psu, $70 nvme ssd, $$75 ddr4 ram, $80 case with built in fans, APU is a secret. Constantly going back and forth swapping out parts trying to make this as cheap as possible and its still pushing $1k without a graphics card. This GPU crisis is literally cancer especially when trying to build a pc.



  3. Zy Bunga on August 19, 2021 at 10:04 pm

    Not gonna take an hour, video 1 hour 14 minutes me thinking HMMMMM. Lets see



  4. Nathans on August 19, 2021 at 10:04 pm

  5. PoL Fuji on August 19, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    It’s funny how the GPU in this build cost as much as the entire build in 2021😭



  6. Mikol Hones on August 19, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    Did u mean 500$ plus the addition cost of a ryzen 1 or 2 to flash the motherboard?



  7. Cloud Walker on August 19, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    This pc could be sold above 800 now lmao. Especially in india.



  8. Flur-E Fury on August 19, 2021 at 10:08 pm

    Red like the roses

    White like the doves

    I double tap right

    When he says "Speaking of"



  9. Mr Noodles on August 19, 2021 at 10:10 pm

    My first build was in like 2015 and it was a $450 all amd build. My god was it shit but it got the job done well for what it was used that baby to play ARK for years



  10. Jonas Jiyong Rhee on August 19, 2021 at 10:11 pm

  11. C 25 Piyush Sawant on August 19, 2021 at 10:12 pm

  12. Kim Tuyen123 Tran on August 19, 2021 at 10:13 pm

    They hacked into my machine.



  13. Norea on August 19, 2021 at 10:14 pm

    If only we knew that these were the good days.



  14. hotdog man on August 19, 2021 at 10:16 pm

    Yo you sure this isn’t going to take an hour.



  15. ORA ORA MAN on August 19, 2021 at 10:18 pm

    I miss the days where a 1650 Super was cheap



  16. Michael Velichko on August 19, 2021 at 10:20 pm

    Nick- Free shipping! Lunis- *Pain*



  17. Burrito Man on August 19, 2021 at 10:20 pm

    The time when the gpu didn’t cost as much as the pc



  18. Caleb Ketterer on August 19, 2021 at 10:22 pm

    My stupid ass didn’t see the white box in the bottom hdd case and was wondering for about a half hour where the hell the screws for the motherboard came from lmao



  19. Hunter Eger on August 19, 2021 at 10:26 pm

    Fast forward a year and the gpu is $500 alone



  20. freshyt on August 19, 2021 at 10:30 pm

  24. Ghxstly.R6 on August 19, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    Can this pc run warzone



  25. Pierce Schofield Oldham on August 19, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    He says he’s not going to take an hour building it. Then I look at the video length.



  26. LiftedStarfish on August 19, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    A lot of hardware keys (Yubikey, Solokey) are USB Type-C



  27. NoManHasIt on August 19, 2021 at 10:34 pm

    well this video aged like milk



  28. Landon Fulcher on August 19, 2021 at 10:35 pm

    this was legitimately real for a second there. we just got a look into Linus life.



  29. Slapzy on August 19, 2021 at 10:36 pm

    this pc now is $1004.76USD



  30. OhYeahSimulator on August 19, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    "Not that I’m speaking from experience."

    I get the feeling he’s speaking from experience. That’s what I did when I wanted something. I’d save my allowance for airsoft gear when I was younger.



  31. Nofaceposeidon on August 19, 2021 at 10:38 pm

    Damn I just picked one up from zotac the same card but single fan and oc the cheapest one rn or like 100 less than the build alone 🙁 I miss it when the 3060 launched I could’ve gotten it but not enough



  32. Ray Kodiak on August 19, 2021 at 10:41 pm

    We are building a $500 pc, but it actually cost us $580 lol / you rounded in the wrong direction / We built a $600 PC



  33. Dwighto Spratto on August 19, 2021 at 10:42 pm

    You lied to us on jun 4 2020 you said you were not going to take a hour to build the AMD gaming PC but you took 1:14:00



  34. Matthew Flythe on August 19, 2021 at 10:43 pm

    Now folks are trying to sell 1650 Supers themselves for 500 freaking dollars



  35. Van Rithipongs on August 19, 2021 at 10:44 pm

    i got amd athlon gold and amd radeon graphic



  36. David Hamburger on August 19, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    Is that an AMD stock cooler in your pocket or are you happy to see us?



  37. Cameron Simms on August 19, 2021 at 10:45 pm

    "amd gaming pc"

  38. Kanna Kamui on August 19, 2021 at 10:45 pm

  39. Benjamín Prado Ahumada on August 19, 2021 at 10:45 pm

  40. michael trundley on August 19, 2021 at 10:47 pm

  41. AJ - on August 19, 2021 at 10:48 pm

  42. The Square on August 19, 2021 at 10:48 pm

    Would an Xpg sx8200 work just as well?



  43. Jay Perkinson on August 19, 2021 at 10:48 pm

    The GPU alone is $400.



  44. Noobs on August 19, 2021 at 10:51 pm

    Hearing him talk about the pc being destroyed scared me



  45. Brigham Adamson on August 19, 2021 at 10:52 pm

  46. Dwighto Spratto on August 19, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    Sorry that was the 24 jun 2020



  47. Easter Island Statue on August 19, 2021 at 10:53 pm

    This video did not age well



  48. locked01 on August 19, 2021 at 10:55 pm

    Hardware manufacturers (NVIDIA and AMD) just got greedy. IMHO prices are gonna stay high at least until the first 2 quarters of 2022… IF they ever lower again.
    Also I don’t really understand how APUs and a machine like the Steam Deck will keep up with the next generation games, meaning that I don’t see it as a solution unless you want to play older games, which is totally legit!



  49. Badd C33P BMW on August 19, 2021 at 10:57 pm

    Yeah those were the good days the graphics card is $500 alone 😭😭😭
