Hi, ex geek squad employee here. Best buy sells these! Something you should know about cyberpower and ibuypower. THEY ARE A LOTTERY. The parts will almost ALWAYS vary from system to system. To these companies, a 4070 is a 4070, regardless of brand, or version. You could get a gigabyte 3 fan card, or an msi 2 fan card. Motherboard manufacturer and level will vary. PSU may vary. Even the memory can vary. This is not to say that they are bad systems, far from it. You can get a crazy deal. BUT if, lets say, you buy from a place with a good return policy, and dont like the parts you got, and they have more... you can see what I'm getting at here.
Got lucky and got this for 970. I really could not find anything remotely close to his spec and pricing. People here complaining about small issues but for pricing you cannot beat this deal...
I just spent $900 on a 9700x, a Strix 670E, water cooler and 32G ddr5. It looks decently put together and for once Walmart did not completely cheap out. At that price, It's hard to not recommend. Edit: plus I'm still on a 3070FTW. =(
I'm an ex Best Buy salesman and I got my Cyberpower a few years ago and it's a beast. Been through 30 power surges and I'm not even exaggerating. It rocks a Ryzen 5 with a RTX 3060 which can pretty much handle most games. I don't play JRPGS or anything too power hungry because they really heat up the CPU (mostly Final Fantasy 14, Dragon Age Inquisition, things like that), but other than that, it's taken just about everything I can throw at it. Pro tip: NEVER buy those cheap office PCs if you can keep from it. They're a decent start if you don't play heavy load games, but they almost always come with proprietary parts. On the flip side, they're generally fairly easy to upgrade piece by piece. Cyberpower/Ibuypower might be more expensive in the short term, but you get a way better upgrade path.
Wow, finally Ibuy power actually nailed a build. That's a sentence, I thought I would never say. Asus GPU, WD SSD, Hyte Case, reasonable C tier power supply, Teamgroup RAM (wish was dual channel), MSI motherboard. I wouldn't complain at this build. Throw in an identical stick of Ram and go play! Sadly the deal is already dead. However, great find!!
I recommended this for my aunt to gift her husband for MSFS. Nothing you build can top this. Yes their parts are somewhat mediocre but it's perfectly fine for those who just game. I'd say buy another stick of ram on top and you are good to go.
A couple of things I'd point out or check if I were a PC reviewer: 1. There were two 8pin EPS sockets on the motherboard, yet only one was plugged in. The 750W PSU no doubt should have plugs for both. This is a minor thing which wouldn't impact the performance of a relatively low power CPU like 7700. But they could've done better. 2. What's the RAM running at? Is it set to proper XMP/EXPO profile that matches its advertized speed? 3. 599 for a 4070 non super and 285 for a 7700 are terrible deals.
The extra power socket isn't needed unless you have a much higher power demand than this system would be able to use. Most pre-built pcs don't use it unless it is something much higher on the power draw scale.
ie number 3...where are you looking? honestly that seems about right for prices ive seen. I personally wouldn't buy either at that price, but if you wanted them right now that's about what they would cost (you could find them maybe $50 bucks cheaper at microcenter-but its close enough for the point he was making). With all that said, I kind of agree with the rest of your points. this dude has no clue what he's doing
@@colestowing8695 599 IIRC is exactly the MSRP of a non super 4070. It was terrible at its launch and is even more terrible now that we are approaching the end of the 40 series life cycle. I've seen 4070 supers on amazon and newegg for this price. Though I haven't seen lower price for the 7700 than the one he listed, the 7700x is cheaper than the 7700 (though not by much) on amazon and newegg. So why not go with the better 7700x?
@@colestowing8695 My point is if you only compare the prebuilt to the sum of retail prices of each component it might seem like a huge bargain. But it really isn't that much considering it's that time of the year and system integraters need to get rid of stock.
Wow, I am waiting for mine, which is the exact one, ordered it two days ago. Completely agree on what a great deal it is. The funny thing is also bought the 49" Samsung oled monitor (overkill) and waiting for it as well. I don't do much of a gaming but planning for occasional gaming pc, and the monitor choice was based on my work laptop. I will be pairing it as picture to picture with this gaming pc, so that I can easily keep track of work and game when possible.. thanks for the video. one call out, not for you, but walmart is on the walmart website the picture showed 3 fans set up for gpu, but from your video, it looks like it's going to be 2 fans...
You’re right. I saw a picture on their website that showed three fans, but in the video, there are only two. I wonder if they used a generic image of a GPU because the fan doesn’t have the ASUS logo. Good catch!
@@ahlincoln Ummmm 🤔. It’s an ok starter gaming PC, but not a “great deal” by any means. The PSU is adequate for its current hardware, but nothing more. The graphics card is an 8gb 4060 which is pretty lame. One single 16gb stick of no-name ram running in single channel and a motherboard brand that is probably from China. If anything, it’s overpriced considering the hardware components. Hopefully it will last a few years. I hope it does. $800.00 isn’t chump change for most.
@techluvin7691 TGroup RAM is a high-end brand, and one the best budget brands out there for various memory and storage options. I would use them myself without asking any questions compared to other and more expensive options, for the exact same product. I'd say this is a pretty darn good deal. System integrators would have a hard time competing with this at current prices
If this computer is consistent with past Walmart machines, it will have built in software and firmware update restrictions, and not be upgradable for future Microsoft Windows editions. Walmart machines tend to be highly proprietary in that regard.
I've got a Lenovo with that exact issue. It can't take windows 11 because the bios was never updated to take new chips and the 1700x isn't on the accepted list. If I could find a 2700 it would work but at this point it's not worth "upgrading" to 6 year old chip. Throw it away.
Couldn't you just replace the motherboard then? It's an extra expense, but if you consider how cheap the machine already is, and sell the old mobo to offset the cost, it's still a steal.
Upgrade your PSU if you plan to upgrade the build, 850 bare minimum, I would go modular and nothing less than 1000 gold plus. Nice build for the price, but it leaves me skeptical of motherboard and other components.
Hmmmm 🤔 A single 8 pin 4070……..one stick of ram……..240mm rad…….highpower trash psu……..800 bucks seems right for all low end components. Not even a heatsink on the Vrm’s.
@@rickgeller6043 I just did too, where you find a single stick of tforce? while the price is high, it is a lot for this build and doesn't make it a good buy.
highpower makes great power supplies and acts as an oem for a lot of the bigger brands, the 4070 and 240mm rad are plenty, the only thing I would agree on is 1 stick of ram, everything else is more than fine for this price
Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

You could probably mine on that and have it pay for itself. My 3070s paid for themselves. Everyones tired of the crypto talk i get it, but if i was a kid, i wish my parents would have helped me financially. That would have involved teaching me how to mine to then use that currency to buy other assets. The .ore you look at the world like assets and liabilities the easier it gets.
Bought this for my son. He will be opening it in a few hours for his Xmas gift.
Thats an awesome setup for the money, would love to hear how your son reacted.
@eeymanjones Your a great Dad For his birthday next yr ig you should get him a monitor You are incredible for getting him a computer
just upgrade the ram, and this is solid. just buy one more of the same memory thats in there and put them in slots #2 and 4
It's a good deal for what your paying no doubt.
how is it?
Now its $1429.00
lol
