Just checked the motherboard, of course it is the single cheapest motherboard gigabyte makes on the platform. It has an amazing 3+1 phase vrm without a heatsink. It only supports vga out (this may actually be a blessing as it may prevent people from accidentally plugging the monitor into the igp instead of the gpu) I wonder what it will do under a combined gpu+cpu torture workload. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually catches fire.
They probably had the glue on the usb cable so they know if anyone took it apart. So I would re glue it just encase they try to say you cant return for some BS reason. Also what a pos for the price!
They really need more choices than just "like" for comments. This is fucking CLASSIC!!! I spit my coffee everywhere when I started laughing from reading this.
And an unlock key for the 1070 to get the different chip. Jensen shows up at your house and de-solders the chip and puts in a different chip, vrm and vram..
@@harleyme3163 I mean, ram is ram. You really aren't benefiting from the company. In terms of the build (excluding value) If I saw correctly, this ram is from adata 2400MHz. Pretty standard especially given the motherboard only supports 2133/ 2400MHz. I doubt you'll find difference between a corsair 2400MHz vs adata 2400MHz. Also, given that there's only two ram slots, it's smarter to go with one stick of 16gb. No real need to go two sticks of 8gb.
@@ihatedwang "No real need to go two sticks of 8gb" this is being sold as a gaming pc. you would only go single channel if it was literally just going to be used to browse the internet
@@ronnieclute1318 I don't know what the other config for the 32 gigabyte pc is (motherboard specifically) so my guess is that Walmart bulk bought 16gb sticks? Which could be why only one stick was used (if the dt3 motherboard also only supported 2 ram slots). And not to mention, from a gaming perspective, depending on the game, you may or may not see any sort of performance boost between dual and single.
@@ihatedwang this is a 1400 computer with 700 in parts and 700 in labor. That's outrageous. With those parts and 3 hours of labor and a reasonable markup 1000 is still high but not outrageous

@NiftyNiklz Loss of integrity? I stopped considering them to have any integrity when they were charging 2.5x the MSRP for the New 3dsxl two or three years back around the holiday season.
Well they need to rip people off so they can afford to keep paying their workers so well!*whispering*Oh, what's that? They actually let most of their workers live in poverty or off of food stamps? Never mind then.
Walmarts PC stands head and shoulders over Dells offerings. You'll never get everyone to agree on anything, but however the entire PC world came together and looked down upon Dell and said in unison "wow, what a piece of shit." But at the same time being better than Dell doesn't really say much. Thats like saying "oh yes, ill take harpies instead of genital warts." Both suck, stay away from slutty PC manufacturers.
Not really, Dell puts higher quality components in their computers than this walmart computer. Dell's biggest issue is that they insist on using the same damn case they've been using forever even though space and heat dissipation requirements have gone up a lot. So you end up with things like the Alienware towers that have decent components that get throttled due to heat.
That's assuming they'll actually mark it as open-box. I'm more concerned that someone will pay the full 1400 or even 2100 for this exact systme and not realize.
@@WertzOne calm down wanker, you're calling this guy disturbing and unethical considering Walmart sent him something completely different to what he ordered? Not only that, that Walmart used parts in their computers that are not only cheap and poor quality, but are downright robbing customers of their money by cheaping out in areas that are integral to a quality gaming PC? who is disturbing and unethical here? if anything, it will look even better after gamers nexus has reassembled it and sent it back.
Did you watch the follow up video? Greatwall may not me well known to you but they are actually a maker of quite a few well known branded power supplies and may not be fantastic but they can handle over their rated wattage for a good amount of time.
@@React2Quick that's why 3 Corsair VS650 blew up in my office building. Had to replace the PSU for 47 office PCs in two days thanks to them. They tried to save money on the PSU and two Z390s and their 6700K died because of corporate greed.
@@Stein871 I'm not surprised that the PSU blew. Some of Corsair's older PSUs if I'm not mistaken had problems with them dying. If you're going to buy Corsair then buy their newer series of power supplies.

No, they send the PC's from a warehouse, so someone probably just picked the wrong one. But even if it's a honest mistake, if it happens often someone who doesn't knoe about PC's will probably get screwed or someone will get lucky. (If you can call it lucky as it's still overpriced)
Imagine how many unknowing customers have overpaid for a more expensive machine and didn't know any better. They probably do it on purpose. I bet half their customers would never know.
@@Lonewolfmike Somebody's parents who thought "oh my child said they'd like to start gaming" and they buy it because they have absolutely no idea. You act like it's no big deal, but we're not the people getting scammed. Somebody's grandparents, parents, single parents who saved up to get something they thought would be great for Christmas/birthday, etc. Shit like this will totally put people off of the entire PC gaming industry because they buy a "high end" rig and got fleeced and have no idea, so they assume PC gaming isn't better than consoles.
@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916 You mistook my comment. When you are talking about Walmart you are NOT expecting quality. I am NOT surprised you get shit when you get a "gaming PC" from Walmart. It is Walmart, the home of "Made In China".
Imagine how many clueless parents there are who as a surprise ordered the top model DTW3 for their kid, received the DTW1, and no one ever knew about the mixup. The kid, if he/she is a gamer, probably knows that he/she got a meh-at-best gaming computer, but he/she does not know that his parents paid for the DTW3. And the parents of course have no clue what the difference is.. so no one realizes they got hugely ripped off. Score for Walmart. 700 dollars bonus margin. I would not be surprised if they do it on purpose, fully aware that they're going to get many phone calls like in this video, but it's still worth it for all those customers who never realize they got screwed.
mannybianco oh of course walmart knows and when calling to complain youll never actually talk to the ppl responsible and thats the biggest problem. Outsourced cust. Service are just paid scapegoats
There's nothing malicious about this mix up. This was shipped in a DTW1 box. That's plainly visible in the video as it's presented. Those parents likely will not know the difference between them, but they will know the DTW1 is not the DTW3.

What’s funny about this in 2019 is that my local Walmart has one of these computers on display in store, and the little info card has GTX 1070 on it but someone crossed the 7 out and replaced it with a 6 as the card very clearly shows 1060 on the side. Way to go Walmart.
@@wolfchacer0139 i do agree with your statement but i wouldnt say a joke im somewhat biased but i do have a rtx 2070 and i also had a gtx 1060ti which i also do think is a decent cart
I’m so thankful to my old IT guy at the hospital I worked at. Bought a crappy Alienware in 2013 and returned it. He told me to build my own. Four computers later and I love having the knowledge and skills to do it. Best parts, done right, upgradable, it’s the only way to go.
All the people not realizing this computer was bought strictly for review and not for his own personal use is astonishing. Anyone who wrote something similar to "You bought a computer from Walmart, what did you expect?" and then proceeded to dislike the video, completely missed the point.
First off he didn’t get what he bought. With that said all criticism are fair game, especially when the difference is price is 500$ +.....The margins for Walmart may be small or large either way, they cut corners.This looks so suspect. Wrong product, a stifling mobo, terrible chipset, 1 dimm of ram, sub par psu. I’m glad I built my pc. But hey you sound like someone that bought one of these. Enjoy your Walmart brand POS.
The point was that he found no major issues with the system and other reviewers that actually run tests on the system found it quite good, cable management and a no-brand power supply? Give me a break.
Everyone Can Do DIY projects The major issues he found was that he got a 1070 instead of a 1080ti ($400+ difference) and 1 dim slot of 16gb ram instead the full 32gb that were advertised ($140-$150 difference). Why are you defending Walmart for scamming people?
@@ProfessorDIY i wouldn't call heavily bottlenecked preformance "not a major issue". This thing is 500 dollar more expensive than my own, MUCH better build.
you buy from Alienware...………… for the prices they charge you could build you a full custom pc including fully custom liquid cooling and cables from cablemod
i mean atleast walmart is actually providing gaming PC's now 2 grand is not that bad considering its a 1080 ti and 8700, walmart makes like $200-300 profit
@George Costanza Huh? People constantly sue corporations and companies in the US (and each other) it's kind of one of the things we're known for. Not to mention look how much shit Apple and NVIDIA get non stop from Americans. I don't think you know what you're talking about.
@@coldfusionstormgaming1808 If they correct their mistake you will have a hard time suing. Companies are allowed to make mistakes, as long as they compensate you. What are you expecting to be compensated for more than the correct order or money back? Lost income? Emotional distress? Good luck. If it turns out to be a widespread issue and are negligent or doing it on purpose a class action lawsuit might be possible, but that is very unlikely to happen.

Hi sir ! I found out about your channel because someone promoted you in a comment section on a ps5 review video from a non professonial reviewer. Anyway, im amazed by how you are professional and explain and show everything we need to know about pc's and pc's parts ! Thank you for what you do. 10/10 quality and professionalism. Im sorry if my grammar is bad english is not my mother tongue.
I had an opposite issue once where i ordered a computer that said i was getting a 200 gb hdd and what i Got was a 320 gb hdd... no customer service was called on that i can assure you.
Back when the 10 series launched I bought a 1070 for a very good price and received a *GTX 1080 instead*. I paid just under £400 and received an MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X, which was around £750 RRP at the time. Best part is the seller didn’t even mind and I’ve still got the card to this day.
Best part of building your own PC is having 3-5, sometimes longer, warranties for every piece. Imagine overpaying and still getting a 1 yr limited warranty.
I actually think Wal-Mart getting into cheap generic no-name Alibaba gaming hardware is awesome. Because more competition only means that real gaming hardware is going to have to get a little cheaper or step up the game.
Its really not that hard tho, anyone can do it with a bit of common sence and googling. Most people just don't care to learn so that's where Walmart "pre-builds" come in.
Yea but it’s great for someone who doesn’t understand this stuff. A little kid getting into PC gaming and his parents see Walmart has it. He’ll prolly get this lol. GeatVid!
Now it depends what you mean by that a gaming pc made by walmart yes thats a bad idea but a gaming pc made by some other company that uses walmart as a place to sell their products isnt that bad
You gotta give Walmart some credit because they are like a really small company that is struggling to make their margins so clearly they had to do something like this.
@@КонстантинМаев-э1д Three years ago my custom build of 1070ti was fucking 3k I did have some sweet ass monitors but those mutherfookin bitcoin douches BENT ME OVER
It's almost kind of sad how they're cheaping out on everything, even with that huge markup. I really hope shipping the wrong PC was a mistake because it would make sense as a scam, considering 99% of customers who buy a Walmart PC probably don't know a lot about it, maybe it's their first gaming PC or even PC in general. I think it's most likely a mistake though. That scam would be a really scummy and absolutely disgusting move.
Everything about that thing reeks of cheapness. Walmart is gonna take advantage of a bunch of grandparents who think they are getting something nice for their grandkids. 🖕🏼Walmart
Yeah that is heartbreaking to think about. Only people who will buy this are the uninformed, or someone who wants to leave it in "trusted" hands. They will spend their hard earned money and the recipient will not feel the joy that was intended.
There is a 1/4 inch space between the glass front and the fans and the edge all around are open. So yes, dust will get in there just fine, actually quicker, since the 3 fans will draw air from those small cracks and acts like a vacuum cleaner.
Back in the day 1995 era most prebuilts shipped used silicone to secure all serial ribbon cables IDE, floppy because of horrible connectors they wanted PC to work for end user.
This isnt uncommon, Walmart online has HORRIBLE shipping management. They have sent wrong products, damaged products, etc and its happened to me time and time again to the point where I refuse to use them. *_STAY AWAY FROM WALMART ONLINE_*
Had a buddy who worked in Walmart Distribution warehouse. Long story short Quality Control does not exist. Everything is literally thrown into piles into trucks and sent out.
EDDSWORLDMEGAFAN I worked at a wal mart and any product online or not is sent to a store via distribution center and unloaded by testosterone and cigarette fueled young men that throw and stack your products as violently and quickly as possible as to make it to their cigarette break on time

@@yen6461 Not even!!!! You could get this for almost half the price prebuilt from ANY reputable dealer. This is not a 'build it first' issue. This is a scam.
@@RobinTheBot Relax brother, this video came out 2018 and given how much prebuilts suck today I can’t imagine a universe where 3 years back it was better. Back then what GN paid for was what was considered the highest of high-end gaming. I can’t see a single prebuilt today, even with a 3070, that costs substantially less than 2000$.
As a person who has worked at a warehouse, not a wallmart but still... I can guarantee its just some poor worker having a stressful day trying to work fast and managing to take out the wrong product with a simular name... Done the same thing many times, but i work with food and not 2000 dollar pcs...
Yeah those poor wally world workers hardly working for a sixpence aren't having a great life and they especially don't empathize with people being mad about a product they couldn't afford themselves.
@@calebjason4454 Doubt it. Im guessing theese are built by a external company, shipped to a walmart warehouse and then picked out onto a truck by a warehouse worker. And i bet i made more money then most people working at a warehouse a few years ago. Not saying they are "poor" in the money kind of way but more in the its a exausting job kinda way.
You know, sometimes tech channels do this, buy a prebuilt computer from a large retailer and surprisingly end up eating their words or going back on their expectations and admitting that the retailer gave them surprisingly good value considering the price...not this time. Oh god, no, not this time!
Walmart is serving as the storefront for these Chinese PCs. That's it. They certainly aren't building them and they aren't even shipping them. They are coming straight from China and the drop shipper will have whatever stock they have. So Walmart shouldn't be in bed with these people but I'm also sure they will correct it. They need to find a better partner, which will be tough. Why Walmart has not devoted an aisle in their electronics section to PC components is beyond me. And if they then wanted to hire a dozen people to work in back putting these things together to sell in-store then that would be far better than this. They have a massive leg-up on the competiton by having the storefront presence they have. While the few remaining computer stores like Microcenter offer the same, being able to walk into a Walmart and buy a good gaming PC off the shelf that you can see with your own two eyes, and not having to wait, would be attractive to some people.

I love how youtube just recommends this video for me from out of nowhere (already seen it), and states that it's 1 year old. It's exactly 1 year and 11 months old. Thanks youtube.
I've had those plastic USB 3.0 retainers pull right off of lower-end boards before. My guess is they probably realized it was a problem, and rather than source a better board, they just decided to hot glue it in place.
Filmier Fitzpatrick Hot glue on a strategically placed cable also acts as an unofficial "warranty void" sticker, allowing first line techs to instantly know if they should accuse that customer of damaging the insides themselves (because they can't use actual warranty void stickers under some interpretations of US law).
@@johnfrancisdoe1563 Oh, replied before reading your post. Exactly my thoughts. Maybe similar tactic for the CPU power connector, although to be honest, "connecting" all 8 pins might be a cleaner solution, if there's no danger of anything making contact.

It's bad when you set your expectations on the floor and the product still managed to fall short. Happy black Friday to everyone, I hope you aren't here because you bought one of these.
Why pay people in your country when they can hire a Filipina for $1/hr, right. They used to hire Indians, but people could tell too easily that they're foreign.
@HNTR KLLR The systems all use the same case, fans, motherboard, and CPU. The only thing that differs that I can tell is the storage, RAM and GPU. So yeah, nothing in these systems warrant the expense they're charging
50% of the comment section : people who haven't watched the video telling him he "didn't read the label, DUH. It's the wrong box!!" I think we've found Walmart's target audience.
The negative comments may be because about 8 minutes in, he went on and on about how most people wouldn't know they had gotten the wrong components. That's just bullshit. Even if they never cracked the case, they would read the box, they would see they had only 16GB of RAM every time they booted up, they would see the CPU and RAM on the Windows system info page, etc.
@@brock2k1 You do realize 10 year old kids and 40 year old parents aren't going to pay attention to that stuff right? It's not going to register to them that the box says 16gb of RAM, they're not going to pay attention to all the numbers and acronyms flying past on startup, they're not going to go to the Windows System page unless they're already PC enthusiasts and can tell that it's not right
Office PC motherboard, cheap no-heatsink-ram crap PSU and cooling and no dust filters? It doesn't matter. It has L-E-mofokin-Ds. That's what makes a computer good. A lot of LEDs.
You forgot to mention that dual channel memory are not being utilized. One 2400mhz memory stick running in single channel will seriously hurt performance.
@@aos32 I think he said it only supports a single stick per channel anyway with its two slot configuration - the motherboard is just that cheap and nasty

I think most Chinese shops will actually send consumers what they paid for, so long as you didn't pay for anything too good to be true. It's when they're fulfilling orders for other companies that you can expect them to rob you. But then, Walmart can afford to keep a close eye on them, so they're good to go. Cheap Chinese parts, American markup.
@@tuyiren781 Sometimes when I buy a part directly from China and I see that it's slightly different, I don't even get mad. I mean, I paid $40 for something that cost $150 normally. The only difference is that this one was missing a bit of paint that I easily colored in with a paint pen. Can't really complain about that. Not to mention, I don't want to wait 10 weeks for an RMA from China that I would probably never get. Although, I would avoid buying expensive things from China. Potential for getting scammed goes up as the value goes up.
The only thing that was ridiculous was that had he looked at EITHER box before inking the computer out and ripping it open, he would have discovered it wasn't fraud, just a shipping mistake. 🤦🏼♂️
Believe or not, this PSU is actually not that awful for a $40 product and Great Wall even make CSM series PSU for Corsair. But honestly for a $1500 pc they should use better parts.
You should just return it for a refund instead of an exchange. And you should charge them for the return too since I bet you'll put it back together better than they gave it to you.

Walmarts PC stands head and shoulders over Dells offerings. You'll never get everyone to agree on anything, but however the entire PC world came together and looked down upon Dell and said in unison "wow, what a piece of shit."
But at the same time being better than Dell doesn't really say much. Thats like saying "oh yes, ill take harpies instead of genital warts." Both suck, stay away from slutty PC manufacturers.
Not really, Dell puts higher quality components in their computers than this walmart computer. Dell's biggest issue is that they insist on using the same damn case they've been using forever even though space and heat dissipation requirements have gone up a lot. So you end up with things like the Alienware towers that have decent components that get throttled due to heat.
the funniest part is that whomever receives this as an open-box item is going to receive the best thermal paste application in the entire fleet.
That's assuming they'll actually mark it as open-box. I'm more concerned that someone will pay the full 1400 or even 2100 for this exact systme and not realize.

20:09 wish more ppl thought of it that way. Thank you for going through this PC because I was considering getting one. Mad props to you sir, subbed.
I love hot glue
Back in the day 1995 era most prebuilts shipped used silicone to secure all serial ribbon cables IDE, floppy because of horrible connectors they wanted PC to work for end user.

This isnt uncommon, Walmart online has HORRIBLE shipping management. They have sent wrong products, damaged products, etc and its happened to me time and time again to the point where I refuse to use them.
*_STAY AWAY FROM WALMART ONLINE_*
Had a buddy who worked in Walmart Distribution warehouse. Long story short Quality Control does not exist. Everything is literally thrown into piles into trucks and sent out.
EDDSWORLDMEGAFAN I worked at a wal mart and any product online or not is sent to a store via distribution center and unloaded by testosterone and cigarette fueled young men that throw and stack your products as violently and quickly as possible as to make it to their cigarette break on time
Amazon, forget Walmart
*STAY AWAY FROM WALMART*
Fixed that for you.
How others see walmart: A big thrift store
How I see walmart: A big trash can full of junk
Im not saying the mess up wasn't a one off, but I am saying you'll never get a DTW3 when you order a DTW1.
J S The 1 in 50 customers who actually pick up on that makes that a very lucrative “mistake”
Dan McG they do not. Even 1400 for those specs of the DTW1 could’ve had a better PC by self building
@SilentGhilly Yep it happens. Something similar happened to me. Can't remember the circumstances it was 10+ years ago it was a mistake with a harddrive though for sure~
@@yen6461 Not even!!!! You could get this for almost half the price prebuilt from ANY reputable dealer. This is not a 'build it first' issue. This is a scam.
@@RobinTheBot Relax brother, this video came out 2018 and given how much prebuilts suck today I can’t imagine a universe where 3 years back it was better. Back then what GN paid for was what was considered the highest of high-end gaming. I can’t see a single prebuilt today, even with a 3070, that costs substantially less than 2000$.
Anyone else watching this after the Dell review that came out this week. Walmart isn’t looking as bad as it did two years ago.
Haha he mentions "maybe you can get a better PC at dell" at around 11:27
As a person who has worked at a warehouse, not a wallmart but still... I can guarantee its just some poor worker having a stressful day trying to work fast and managing to take out the wrong product with a simular name... Done the same thing many times, but i work with food and not 2000 dollar pcs...
1070 - 1080Ti Yeah real similar.......16 - 32Gb yeah real similar
@@mcloum Doubt the people picking them out at a warehouse is looking at specs, more like the name witch is really simular.
When everything is in a blank cardboard box, everything kooks the same
Yeah those poor wally world workers hardly working for a sixpence aren't having a great life and they especially don't empathize with people being mad about a product they couldn't afford themselves.
@@calebjason4454 Doubt it. Im guessing theese are built by a external company, shipped to a walmart warehouse and then picked out onto a truck by a warehouse worker. And i bet i made more money then most people working at a warehouse a few years ago. Not saying they are "poor" in the money kind of way but more in the its a exausting job kinda way.
You know, sometimes tech channels do this, buy a prebuilt computer from a large retailer and surprisingly end up eating their words or going back on their expectations and admitting that the retailer gave them surprisingly good value considering the price...not this time. Oh god, no, not this time!
Walmart is serving as the storefront for these Chinese PCs. That's it. They certainly aren't building them and they aren't even shipping them. They are coming straight from China and the drop shipper will have whatever stock they have. So Walmart shouldn't be in bed with these people but I'm also sure they will correct it. They need to find a better partner, which will be tough.
Why Walmart has not devoted an aisle in their electronics section to PC components is beyond me. And if they then wanted to hire a dozen people to work in back putting these things together to sell in-store then that would be far better than this. They have a massive leg-up on the competiton by having the storefront presence they have. While the few remaining computer stores like Microcenter offer the same, being able to walk into a Walmart and buy a good gaming PC off the shelf that you can see with your own two eyes, and not having to wait, would be attractive to some people.
@@RJT80 a dozen people? nah walmart would pay at most 2 to 3 people and have them come in 1-2 times a week and make them build 20 in 6 hours
I mean it was a mistake that they're owning up to and sending the right product, so i don't know why you came to that conclusion
Everyone always goes on and on about the Motherboard... No one ever takes the time to ask how the Fatherboard is doing...
That's because we need to read down the hardware patriarchy ;)

@ Rowlo Eightyeight i hear the motherboards always take half of everything in the divorce. fatherboard probably stepped out for a pack of smokes and started a new family somewhere on the other side of the country and sends a card with a check for $5 on birthdays.

I love how youtube just recommends this video for me from out of nowhere (already seen it), and states that it's 1 year old. It's exactly 1 year and 11 months old. Thanks youtube.

@@kyuro64 Aldi is so underrated.
I've had those plastic USB 3.0 retainers pull right off of lower-end boards before. My guess is they probably realized it was a problem, and rather than source a better board, they just decided to hot glue it in place.
That they are, but hot glue is unacceptable. My old ASRock Z75 board's was loose as can be.
Filmier Fitzpatrick Hot glue on a strategically placed cable also acts as an unofficial "warranty void" sticker, allowing first line techs to instantly know if they should accuse that customer of damaging the insides themselves (because they can't use actual warranty void stickers under some interpretations of US law).
"Waranty Void If Unglued." That's how they keep you from touching the GPU. :D
@@johnfrancisdoe1563 Oh, replied before reading your post. Exactly my thoughts. Maybe similar tactic for the CPU power connector, although to be honest, "connecting" all 8 pins might be a cleaner solution, if there's no danger of anything making contact.
That's fucking unacceptable. If were gonna fork out several grand this shit MUST be well made.
I dont know what it is about these videos- i dont build pcs (i mean have before but not in decades), i don't even know the modern best parts but these pre-built tear down vids are oddly soothing in the background while i work
It's bad when you set your expectations on the floor and the product still managed to fall short. Happy black Friday to everyone, I hope you aren't here because you bought one of these.

MY favorite part is when the service rep compliments you on having a nice name.
Why pay people in your country when they can hire a Filipina for $1/hr, right. They used to hire Indians, but people could tell too easily that they're foreign.
11:30 "You could get a better system from Dell"
That aged like milk
No, no you couldn't.
Well he did say at the end "Alienware is kind of a joke these days. LOL
This is pure scam, I'm amazed
Not negligence. The components don't belong in a PC that expensive. Hell, the *case* doesn't belong.
HNTR KLLR It's still too expensive for what it is.
was to be expected tbh, its walmart after all
@HNTR KLLR The systems all use the same case, fans, motherboard, and CPU. The only thing that differs that I can tell is the storage, RAM and GPU. So yeah, nothing in these systems warrant the expense they're charging
@HNTR KLLR the pc they got still retails for over a thousand dollars
50% of the comment section : people who haven't watched the video telling him he "didn't read the label, DUH. It's the wrong box!!"
I think we've found Walmart's target audience.
The negative comments may be because about 8 minutes in, he went on and on about how most people wouldn't know they had gotten the wrong components. That's just bullshit. Even if they never cracked the case, they would read the box, they would see they had only 16GB of RAM every time they booted up, they would see the CPU and RAM on the Windows system info page, etc.
@@brock2k1 You do realize 10 year old kids and 40 year old parents aren't going to pay attention to that stuff right? It's not going to register to them that the box says 16gb of RAM, they're not going to pay attention to all the numbers and acronyms flying past on startup, they're not going to go to the Windows System page unless they're already PC enthusiasts and can tell that it's not right

"You could go to even someone like Dell... probably... and get a better quality system with better quality parts" Famous last words
Office PC motherboard, cheap no-heatsink-ram crap PSU and cooling and no dust filters? It doesn't matter. It has L-E-mofokin-Ds. That's what makes a computer good. A lot of LEDs.
You forgot to mention that dual channel memory are not being utilized. One 2400mhz memory stick running in single channel will seriously hurt performance.
if you put in red LEDs it goes even faster!!!
@@aos32 I think he said it only supports a single stick per channel anyway with its two slot configuration - the motherboard is just that cheap and nasty

Pretty sure you would get less scammed if it was a PC ordered from china with Chinese parts...
At least when u get chinese scammed it is cheap af
@@tuyiren781 Exactly hahahaha
I think most Chinese shops will actually send consumers what they paid for, so long as you didn't pay for anything too good to be true. It's when they're fulfilling orders for other companies that you can expect them to rob you. But then, Walmart can afford to keep a close eye on them, so they're good to go. Cheap Chinese parts, American markup.
Walmart was already on this ^
@@tuyiren781 Sometimes when I buy a part directly from China and I see that it's slightly different, I don't even get mad. I mean, I paid $40 for something that cost $150 normally. The only difference is that this one was missing a bit of paint that I easily colored in with a paint pen. Can't really complain about that. Not to mention, I don't want to wait 10 weeks for an RMA from China that I would probably never get. Although, I would avoid buying expensive things from China. Potential for getting scammed goes up as the value goes up.

Believe or not, this PSU is actually not that awful for a $40 product and Great Wall even make CSM series PSU for Corsair. But honestly for a $1500 pc they should use better parts.
Great wall is actually not that bad but for two grands Walmart should have offered something like EVGA or Seasonic.

You would be better off buying hardware individually and building a custom setup and end up with a better product for less money $$.
You should just return it for a refund instead of an exchange. And you should charge them for the return too since I bet you'll put it back together better than they gave it to you.
they should pay for the return no matter what as its their fault for messing up
