1:28 ftw! lol. As a former Best Buy (specifically Geek Squad) employee....i hated the clueless PC department employees. Though there were some good ones. My store was above average, especially us Geek Squad guys. Some of the best technicians i know (BitcoinLouie and Homebrewedhero were my fellow coworkers as well). Every store varies but man...some stores were baaaaaad.
edit: oooh dat HardwareUnboxed music. Also, congrats on getting that GPU working ;)
Coalition Gaming Now i am scared cuz im gonna buy an asus rog gaming pc from bestbuy...
@@sarkisseraydarian6467 and what's the problem?
Coalition Gaming cuz he is saying best buy is bad
@@sarkisseraydarian6467 Its not bad if the price is right for the computer is ultimately what the message is. Most of the time for prebuilts ANYWHERE, the price isn't right though (or rather, you can build for cheaper). However i think bestbuy had/has a Cyberpower Ryzen system with RX 580s and i think 16gb ram for like $600ish, and that was a good price.
I worked in inventory(and did the worked the front desk with the cameras watching for thieves) for BB a while back, and while setting up a display for ink I noticed a guy trying to get what he needed for a streaming PC for his kid. After realizing that nobody was really helping him I went and talked to him for a bit asking questions about what sorta idea he figured he would need and then explained to him what all the parts do. I ended up selling him some basic equipment(webcam, mouse and keyboard etc) but talked him into trying to buy all the parts for the actual PC online and building it with his son as a father son thing. He came back a month later thanking me. I quit 6 months later after they me and some others realized they lied to us about a bonus we were spose to get for keeping Shrink down in the store.

As you stated, the greatest concern with buying used hardware is the dice roll. That's why I have always been reluctant. However, with regard to Best Buy, for the general PC user that doesn't know how to build, the units are fine. They just need to keep Geek Squad protection. Now when it comes to folks like us that are "Build Veterans;" never - we know the difference.
I found your channel like a month ago and it inspired me to build my own pc and I got it for cheap and it runs games amazingly
This makes me very happy. I’m just building my first pc now, and I bought everything new and it costs about 800, and I had the exact same graphics card and ryzen 3600 and the same amount of ram, so i feel like I did it right. Even though he got the used stuff for less, I’m happy to know I bought the right parts and they’re generally good deals even new.
250gb is not enough for a streaming and gaming pc. You'd have to be braindead or a runescape streamer to think so. Anyone that plays more than 5 games will definitely need minimum 500gb and 1tb is usually the preferred minimum. Im personally getting a 1tb ssd and a 5tb hd.
I have 31TB. Most of it dedicated to movies! Also i9-9900K.
I doubt anyone will see this but if you want an insanely good pc, go on Micro center and you can get a Ryzen 7 2700 and Gigabyte B350 For $240 with a cpu cooler and you can get an RX 580 red dragon for $170 both brand new. Hope this helps for those of you trying to build a budget PC.
And you get 3 games with the 580
Funny story the place where i went to i actually treated me amazing, they knew what they were talking about and i got a great deal
Same a guy told me to wait a few weeks and it will be on sale and it was
While you did bring up a lot of valid points about comparison shopping, overly priced items or undertrained staff, there was a lot of important things you overlooked too.
#1. (A)$500+ vs (B)$1300.
A- used.
B- new
A- have to know how to install all components properly, without shocking/frying something or damaging in any other way.
B- Already installed and theoretically QC checked and tested to be working up to proper conditions.
A- If it doesn't work, well.. you're out of luck, and a lot of money. Parts can't be returned. Especially I accidentally damaged.
B- 1-5 year warranty from the retailers and/or manufacturer.
You can actually return things. You have a brand/seller ppl have heard of and can contact for assistance.
Is diy cheaper? Absolutely.
But you get nothing but the parts.
Buying it pre built though, you get.
Peace of mind, it's made and assembled by ppl that do that for a living. (We don't all know how to diy)
An operating system, if you diy you have to buy that yourself. That can run you a couple hundred. Which puts you at $750+ not counting the variable charges for assembly time and labor with a pre built.
Warranty- $99-$300+.
If something craps out in a day or two and you can't fix it? They will. For free. Instead of paying parts and labor a second time.
But it's included with prebuilt systems.
So that puts you at $850-$1150+
Yes, 1300 is a lot to spend. If you can get the same stuff cheaper.
But you're also getting hundreds of dollars worth of labor, time, warranty coverage, and a place to actually return things to.
So this isn't a really 1:1 comparison of like $1300 bestbuy vs $500 local shop for the same item.
If you added all those factors to your custom built one, that would drive your cost to almost the same exact amount.
So you're only getting the luxury of saying you did it yourself.
It's like cooking at home vs going out. $10 for ingredients you potentially don't know how to use and will ruin and waste your money, then you have to clean up the mess yourself afterwards.
Or $15 for someone to spend their time (instead of yours) to do it properly and serve you. Clean up after you etc.
All those extras, peace of mind and paying someone else for their tech expertise and the headache they have to deal with instead of you? Priceless
As a footnote, 256gb is enough for gaming and streaming? Maybe if you're playing snake or pong?
Look at games like God of war
(I know it's PlayStation but still)
Assassin's Creed origins or Odyssey.
WoW, Smite, SC 2, Diablo 3, Doom etc (the list goes on)
A lot of those games are 45gb-100gb+ alone. You can't game or stream for long with 3-5 games.
Truthfully I really did enjoy the video and it made me consider making my own the next time.
I just do not feel that the $550 vs. $1300 was really a fair comparison considering a lot of the factors you get in that $1300 price tag. Especially for ppl that can't build their own, or afford to start all over if they mess it up somehow or their power supply is shoddy
Windows is free if you don’t mind the water mark, so it wouldn’t cost you several $100. Overall I think it wasn’t a fair comparison because an i7 that can be overclocked is not equivalent to Ryzen 5 2600. But warranty part is correct however, even if something did break you can buy another part or even a new part and still save money.
As a Staples employee who works in tech sales, I want to explain a few things to you from an inside perspective.
First I want to address price, you said that was not a knock on HP, and you blame Best Buy for pricing it. From my time working at Staples, I know that we sell our computers at very nearly the same price manufacturers sell them to us at, this is why we hound you for additional items. A PC purchased by itself is considered a failure, and if you have a sales manager like I do, that means getting yelled at and belittled (I am not playing pity, I really don't care if a 40 year old man who can only hold down a retail job doesn't respect me, the feeling is mutual), and we are expected to sell $250 worth of product to compensate this "loss" in profit. I believe that this is the same story at Best Buy, since their computers are for the most part the same price as ours.
The other issue you had was with the information, or lack there of that the employee had to provide you with the computer, there are a few reasons I see for this. First of all, the employee likely wasn't very interested in tech, and just applied for whatever job he could get. I know that is no excuse, but it is very likely the case. More importantly, the store, again, this is from my Staples experience, not Best Buy, but at Staples, I am NOT trained on the products I'm expected to sell. I heard through the grape vine external resources I can use to learn, and I do research several things on my own out of enthusiasm, but that research is in spectres and omens, not the pavilians we sell. Pretty much everything I learn at work is from that slip of paper, and if I ask my boss what I need to know, he says "either look at the info tag or pull out your phone and google it" which is extremely professional behavior at work I'm sure you can imagine, pull out your phone and google it lol. I do have one advantage over Best Buy however, that info tag lists the specific processor model. It does not however tell you anything about the motherboard, anything more than the amount of ram, anything about the model of hard drive, but it's probably a WD blue. We know the generation and specific model of processor and that's about it.
You also didn't say anything about it, but it seemed suspect that the employee just listed a name brand that's popular without any real thought. This could be either because, again, poor training, or it could be that he's pressured to pus that specific product.
So in short, blame the store for poorly training the employee, but don't blame the store for pricing the computer.
Thanks for saying everything I thought. This video kind of pissed me off a bit
I watched some other videos by this dude and he seems very pretentious and arrogant in every one
Yeah, it would've been much more helpful if best buy had given more info about the entire specs from PSU to GPU (or in any order). And have the info cards on the PC display get more info as well being simple enough for the customers to understand the difference between gens and bins of the CPU and GPUs. And other specs as well. Then have enough knowledge to explain the difference and the performance between the said gens and bins.
That way, you can let the info cards do the talking (most of the time).
Correct, big ticket items are sold to little to no mark-up. Money is made by suggesting the customer to get TTS (total tech support) and accessories for their purchase. And not entirely sure why some are saying that the ram speeds or chipset aren't specified. One look at core blue and it tells us all that, except for the type of mobo or psu brand type of thing. This could of been a far better video I believe if he did a little bit or research, just going to the Best buy subreddit and asking would of given him so much information from past and current employees about the points he made with using one personal experience as reference
@@beepbeeprichie2545 Then he wouldn't be able to sound like a pompous asshat for his content!
Beep Beep Richie printers are sold the same way. The actual printer is sold at a loss knowing full well you will come back and spend more money on the heavily marked up ink cartridges.
I actually got an amazing pre built Black Friday deal at Best Buy, rtx 2070 i7 8700 1tb ssd 2 tb hard drive all for 1 grand
When you buy on sale like on a Black Friday deal, it can be worth it.
Wigglythegreat2 yea and when he says they use all cheap graphic cards and stuff that not really true, although I don’t suggest prebuilt ones but their new ibuypower ones are well worth it.
AliMations RO Black Friday is the best time to get deals from Best Buy.
TeddyCola what was the pc called!
Not 8700k? xD
“IO Shield, better known as the brace” lmao
AT the start I thought he want to say "This Video is sponsored by Bestbuy" lol
I've been on your channel since 12k subscribers, nice to see you channel growing 😀
Bestbuy can sometimes have decent deals. Microcenter always has decent deals tho:)
My microcenter has last year model sales around this time of year, and knocks a lot off the price.
There are no microcenters near me
I just realized all his fans are intake. He should flip around the ones on top and in the back.
Yea it might be extremely beneficial for extra performance. Idk the temps as of writing this comment but thermal throttling might happen to the gpu with a cooler gpu you can overclock for added performance
Good amount of misinformation in this video. Best Buy doesn't just jack up their prices on computers, often times it is based off the manufacturers MSRP, sometimes even cheaper. In the case that another website is cheaper, Best Buy also price matches. Comparing the Omens on Best Buy's website to their exact model on HP's website actually shows that Best Buy had a lower price, and that took less than 5 minutes of looking at their products pages to find that out. So to say it's Best Buy's fault for selling the computer for over $1000 when the same computer is being sold on competing websites for around the same price is is honestly just an uneducated statement. Especially when for the same price, Best Buy carries some pretty decent prebuilt machines from other brands, so really the HP Omen is just a shite computer in general, and not in the fault of one retailer who didn't even make the thing. I understand that the guy working at Best Buy might not have been the most helpful, but there are plenty of other employees who could have helped, so you shouldn't let one bad experience with one person let you flat out say to never buy a machine from Best Buy.
That being said though, the PC you built is pretty nice, so good job there. 👍
That rx580 is going for $800 usd on Amazon right now. Crazy to see this much later
Really? I have two of them maybe its time to sell.

Meh. You SHOULD BUY a computer from Best Buy if you KNOW what you're doing. Because I promise you, FROM TIME TO TIME they will have Computers ON SALE that are cheaper than what you can build yourself using off-the-shelf parts. They KEY Is know your stuffs, then GOOD DEALs can be had. During the GPU mining craze when a gtx 1070 went for $500 and OOS often, and the i7-8700 was recently released I got from Best Buy an Alienware Aurora R7 with i7-8700, 16gb ddr4 (RAM prices was crazy high, like $90 for 8gb), and a GTX 1070, Z370 mobo, 1tB hdd, optane, a tooless case, DVD drive, an adequate PSU all for $1000 (plus tax) Which was much cheaper than you can build your own (the GPU, CPU and RAM alone was equal the whole cost of the system, let alone other components). So it was worth it.
The issue wouldn't be the people who know what they are doing, it's the ones who don't.
badtz maru so the ones who don’t just spent money on used parts. That could go out at any point in time or be dead the moment you buy it. Even if they bought new now they’re limited to specific parts only 3 retailers sell and can’t really get a good deal.
@@antoniodeleon6552 Not sure what you are trying to say, the same things hold true for a knowing buyer in both cases, the difference would be a knowing buyer is much more likely to catch a good deal either used or retail. My point was just that brick and mortar retail are typically terrible for a less knowledgeable buyer partially because chances are the person selling you the computer is likely to know as little about what you want/need as you are.
badtz maru actually no, a first timer or one not knowledgeable shouldn’t. I’ve had many people buy parts even from a “competitive pc” company like Newegg or microcenter, and they end up returning it because they fucked up and it’s all too intimidating cause no one told them how it works. Sure don’t buy at Best Buy all the time but I can guarantee you many employees have gave tips on where to get the best deals or how to go about getting a cheap gaming computer( whether it be building or from another store) Hell there’s even times when I remember someone I worked with actually sold their own previous gaming computer to a customer! Lol
@@antoniodeleon6552 I don't think I understand what you were trying to say previously. Nothing I said wasn't true as far as buying new or used. If the buyer doesn't know how to install new or used hardware properly that has nothing to do with where they bought it from.
Lol I sell computers at Best buy and we know our shit.
Not every best buy is going to be the same this goes both ways there will be good and bad stores
Not every Best Buy has identical employees and managers, I wish I had your best buy in my area lol
Yes exactly BB employees know shit. You said it right there

I didn't see this video pop up in my recommended list until I bought a computer from Best Buy, it ran good for the 1st 5 days.
But~! Then the ethernet & the wifi 6 came up to a point where they both stopped working in general. The customer service is terrible, no one answers every time I call during business hours, not even the Geek Squad workers answer when I attempt to make an appointment for them to "Take a look" at the PC I bought from Best Buy. I also must add, if I were to get them to troubleshoot what is wrong with my PC, I'd have to pay a $250 fee. If I don't pay for the fee that is mentioned, that they will legally be able to keep my PC to reimplement in to their store if I can't afford to get my PC back from them.

I can't believe presence or lack of RGB is seriously given as a buying point.
That's like taking a computer off the list because "It's LED is too bright." when you can almost instantly either use a Sharpie or piece of paper to dim it (while retaining aesthetics)...or just "install" thick or opaque-ish tape over it, and put a pinhole in the opaque tape if you now need to restore light. Gah!

Did you build your own car?
Neither did I. Most people have neither the time, skill, nor desire to "build their own" computer or car.
So do you have any useful advice for the 99.99% of consumers aren't uber geeks who are going to "build their own?"
Lol best comment I've seen so far👏😂
LOL at comparing building a PC to building a car. A car has thousands of parts, weighs tons, and doesn't come with an assembly manual. A PC weighs a few kilos, has manuals for installing all the parts, and has like 5 parts in total that you just plug/slot into obvious sockets. There are videos out there of literal 5 year olds putting together a PC, and if you think they qualify as "uber geeks" for basically putting together a 5-piece LEGO set, all power to you.
As for advice... sure, I have some - buy the pre-assembled ones at Best Buy and pay 2-3 times the price of the separate components to save yourself 30 minutes of work and the "uber-geek" complexity of assembling LEGOs. I'm sure that's great value for money.
i got a prebuild pc fr 1000 wit a corei7 9700f 16gb of ram(dual channel) and a 1660 SUPER nvidia card it works PERFECTLY
Good video. Maybe you can do a series of videos explaining the different components and the role they play on the PC plus a series of videos on how to build a PC step by step. Thanks
I work in geek squad and although my store's employees are way more knowledgeable than the person you dealt with, I would definitely recommend against buying any of the prebuilt pc's we sell lmao. They all use the cheapest possible parts and are wayyy marked up.
Man you are the best reference for building pc for me. Keep it up man with interesting content. Kudos
A few years ago, I once was looking at laptops at Best Buy just so I could physically go hands on with a few laptops I was interested in purchasing online (Surface Book 2- both sizes, HP Spectre x360- both sizes, LG Gram, Blade Stealth, etc.) and with a Best Buy employee following behind every footstep I took, I was kinda ignoring him and just talking to myself out loud and said 'oh, I think this is the 15'' model of the Surface Book 2'. He took out one of those mini tape measures and measured the screen from left to right including the bezels and was like 'oh no, this one is 13.5''''. From left to right the 15'' just so happened to measure about 13.5'' as well. I was like....feets don't fail me now!
How to you work in the computer department all day and not know screen size is measured diagonally. At first I thought maybe he was just filling in that day for that department due to employee shortage for that area, but have seen him there a few times since. That's his legitimate department. Years later I understood when a friend of mine got a job at Best Buy and was assigned to the car stereo department at Best Buy and he admittedly didn't know the first thing about car stereos other then once he had one installed in his car by a professional company that was definitely not Best Buy. He said he was sometimes transferred to the home appliances department when they had shortages. He was young, lived with his parents, didn't know the first thing about refrigerator and dishwashers other then one made food cold and the other cleaned dishes. In other words, do your research and read reviews before going to the store because the chances are the salesperson has no clue about the items your are looking to purchase.
Why are u talking so much about RGB? It’s useless and not necessary in a computer.

The video card needed a little bit of troubleshooting...... Do you really think someone with no experience would know what to do? That's why people buy from best buy... If it doesn't work take it back and get a brand new one. Problem solved.
I have a 1,200 build without rgb you do not need rgb because rgb does not = better performance.
I like how he picks the one computer with very proprietary parts and that’s why it’s shit but Best Buy Sells so many better deals than that. As an employee at Bestbuy I’m offended. He just got stuck with a shitty employee who didn’t know his stuff

Looking at the title knowing damn well I’m buying a pc on Best Buy
.
Why though he literally just shit on Best Buy 😂
lol just know what your buying and you're good, exactly what he says. they overprice stuff that isnt as good as its worth. If you can get sales, then you're pretty much fine
So true
It's not that the stuff isn't good. It's just that you can often get better value for your money sourcing the parts. And it doesn't have to be from craigslist where you meet people like in this video. Just shop around online: Amazon, Ebay, Newegg etc. You also gain very helpful hardware knowledge. TH-cam is also an excellent source for tips, how-tos and reviews.
I didnt know that there was such a big underground market for computer parts
I might stop selling weed and amphetamines and get in on this.
I can’t tell if you are joking
who cares if this is a joke? hes telling the truth otherwise... but m8 dont forget that when you are sellin you smokin for free, that will change once you change your side hustle😂😂😂
Bought a computer from Best Buy then saw this video LMAOOOOO
Layla OneShot if you bought a ibuypower pc then you are good
My sons Asus G11CD has lasted him 2 years so far (which I bought from best buy), Going for a ryzen 3rd gen build next year for him, and the G11CD will be his little brothers.
anime scythe just build you’ll either save or for the same price get way better price.
Now you gotta take it back 😂😂😂
@@RyanVier ever consider buying the parts and having a relative or friend put it together for you if you dont want to go through the trouble of figuring it out yourself? Will save you a lot of money or you could potentially get better parts for the same price as the prebuilt, I've installed parts myself before but when it comes to more advanced things like liquid cooling , I end up phoning a friend to help me and then I can watch them and Its fun to watch them because than you learn something new too. Try it out and I'm sure you wont regret it.
omg i was at best buy and i witnessed a grandma getting her grandson a gaming pc and the employee kept smacking the computer and kept saying top of the line and good graphics i was dead i felt bad though
wait wgat state and what did the grandma look like
I got scammed off a monitor they told me it was a 144hz but it was 60hz
What the computer good though? Or was it a obvious bad deal?

Intel fanboys: "OMG HOW DARE YOU COMPARE RYZEN 5 2600 TO AN I7 REEEEEEEEE"
The dont use k versions of i7. They use 8700 which is 6 cores @ 3.2ghz The 2600 is also 6 cores but clocked at 3400, and easiky oc to 4.2 GHz. Finally it has 4 more mb cache. The benchmark scores are 14000 on the i7 and 13500 on the r5. So overall pretty similar. The r5 is also half the price of an i7 and includes an amazing wraith fan which no one can argue is way better than intel stock fan. I would consider it a pretty fair performance comparison but unfair to intel as far as value
Pierce Callahan I don't think you read the first two words.
Ryzen has more cores
Pierce Callahan r/whoosh
Pierce Callahan tbf I’ve seen 9700k’s for like 10 bucks more then 8700k’s and it’s an extra 2 cores
i work at best buy. there are bad salesmen but there are good ones too. none of the salesmen get commission, so usually when they recommend they recommend something its because they believe in that product. but yeah there are some salesmen that dont know what theyre talking about
It's not bad as he says, kinda exaggerated but yep the bad sales rep can be something that can ruin the mood.
Some of the salesmen might be honest. I can give them that, but if they truly believe in their prebuilt products, then they're incompetent, or in the best case scenario, uninformed.
Greg Jones we don’t necessarily believe in them... but it’s a good way for some younger kids to get an upgradeable or workable PC without the worry of breaking it. That’s only reason I would sell it to anyone.
How are they not paid on commission, I’ve been majorly ripped off 3 times at Best Buy. I’m done with that shitty place

I wouldn't recommend that either tbh lol

@@jayllliiilll6287 wouldn't recommend a prebuild I'd build it myself the companies mostly upcharge a lot of money and if you have no choice I'd recommend BLD by NZXT.
@@christechguy Even then NZXT upcharges like hell. Youd be better off asking friends/finding someone local, some people build it for you free as it's their hobby.
Jays2 Good check Craigslist, and facebook marketplace. There are people that build them for people and only add on like 50 bucks, depending on the rig they build. I make posts to build computers for others all the time
The only thing that should be purchased “pre built” are laptops.

What’s happened to “better”?
Gia Minh we all were
Best buy, shows him a computer with. 1080ti and i9
Kristopher: Not worth over 300
I've gone to best buy to pick up stuff off their open box rack before, just keyboards, mice, stuff like that, and I browse while I'm there. Best thing is when someone comes in, usually an older person and they are asking an employee about how they need a new desktop computer and the employee tries to sell them on an i7 8700 machine with a GTX 1070ti in it (I think it was an IBP machine even) for $1300. The employee was trying to sell it as a this will do anything you need it to which is why you need it so the customer was asking if they had anything at a cheaper price and before the employee could answer I pointed out some of their HP and Dells with i5's and integrated graphics saying that those should do the job if they don't plan on doing anything too intensive on their computer and the customer usually asks me if those can handle either skyping their grandchildren or checking their email or using microsoft word and I'm just like yeah those would be more than enough all the while the employee is just glaring at me. This has happened multiple times and honestly I'm surprised that an employee hasn't tried to kick me out.
Pyr0 it be like that glad you helped someone who had no clue and needed to rely on the employees
@@pyr0399 Employees can't kick people out. A manager could but they wouldn't do that if you're merely helping another customer. We don't up-sell to people at my store unless they're greatly underestimating what they need. We only up-sell when you come in with a Gucci scarf, carrying your Louis bag, after just hopping out of your Ferrari - in that case we will make sure you buy the absolute most expensive thing we have lol
true
Pyr0 r/thathappened
I will say as a best buy employee in the computer department we are way more knowledgeable then how you made it seem in this video. I agree there are some employees that don't know as much about the products here. I might just be lucky and have amazing co workers but almost all of us are pc gamers and have built our own PCs. As far as the computer in the video I couldn't agree more the parts used are very cheep but there are much better options than the HP.
Especially at the same price point, there are stuff 100$ more that are way nicer, and that’s not even that much more of an investment into a pc, the HP computers were hot garbage, they sold out at my store and we didn’t even restock them.
agreed
Same
I was with my parents at best buy and they know I want a PC, so they embarrassingly asked questions about PCs to the employees who seemed like they knew what they were doing. They said the minimum price for a PC would be $1600 and for a good one you would need $2000.
Same. And the stores don’t dictate the price of the PC. Go on HP’s site an you will find them selling that same PC for the same price.
did he install every single fan as an intake fan or am i trippin? 🤔
Noticed that too
That is correct
And the ssd is sitting on top of a hot electromagnet. But its got rgb baby.

I bought my pc at Best Buy and the guy was actually pretty good with pc and tech stuff and i got a real nice one
same
*then you wake up from dream*
The only time I buy a part from best buy, is if I need it that day. I do so knowing im overpaying.
I got the GMA3200BST
XclusivePower I got an i7 6700 and a gtx 1060 with 16gb of ram for like 850 and this was two years ago and unlike the video I actually got a good 1060 dual fans 6gb. I have now replaced just about all of the parts but
The best buy near me has younger workers that actually know what they are doing
[Hot Stuff]Hot Stuff! has made an advancement!
Yeah same I think they are trying to hire younger people in the pc department bc there was a bunch of people complaining online that their “amazing” computer that they bought from a old ass person who doesn’t know what they were doing was running pubg on only 30 fps
Never heard of that. Hope it exsists🤣
@@aurumvenatus9220 basics are easy to learn. watch jays 2 cents, bit wit, linus, and more.
Yeah it depends if you get the guy that actually likes tech stuff vs the guy that just knows the most basic he can to get the job
I bought one from there and the guy was completely honest and he probably knew more than me he told me which pc I should get in my price range and which were bad like Alienware and how you could not customize them as easily
Why do you wear glasses if you never look through them??!!
Cuz he's cool
Weird flex but ok
Hes probably farsighted wich means he can see stuff from far clear but up,close its blurry

Kristofer, as a Best Buy employee, I can tell you we don’t make money on our computers. We sell them at cost, and they expect us as sales reps to attach things to make us money. Our employee discount is 5% above cost, but on computers and name brands we get no discount because there is no profit to take from.
I agree completely with your analysis of the types of parts the manufacturers use, and I tell my customers the same things. I encourage them to purchase components instead, and make sure to pricematch with the cheapest price I can find.
While I love your videos and I’m happy to support this channel, I think that if you’re going to focus a video or an idea around a specific retailer or business, you should ask someone like me, or find a reliable source from the business itself rather than making assumptions standing on the outside. I don’t mean this as a tear down, simply a suggestion for a better approach in the future.
I like this channel and I like this guy's videos, but he really took one guy and made a brusque stereotype out of the experience.
The Best Buy in my town has a few people who I have talked to who know some things about pc gaming but there is only one so far that I have met who absolutely knows his information. I generally do my research at home and then just go and but the parts at Best Buy if the price is good
Luke DeVol So I'm buying PC parts (alot) very soon, and I have no idea how to build a pc, do you reccomend hiring someone to build it for me? Or should I watch some youtube vids and try to teach myself?
@@Atxmic1 I've built, fixed, maintained, upgraded or otherwise cannibalized several desktops and quite a few laptops, and all of my "theoretical" knowledge came from TH-cam tutorials.

Hey, as a Geek Squad employee, would you kindly tell your fellow associates to stop selling PCs with S-mode on them and then telling them we can remote into them? That would be great.
