**Building a Gaming PC from Walmart**

Today I'm going to be building a gaming PC from Walmart...Until I discovered this.

Uh...Hello.

So they're selling a restored Asus ROG STRIX gaming PC. So if I try to build the same system on PCPartPicker with that Ryzen 7, a relatively cheap board, and a 3060, I'm spending $824.

Whereas on Walmart, I'm getting that same system, or basically the same system, for $679 bucks.

**The Unbelievable Deal**

So this is such a good deal, but actually, I will say, it's not actually sold from Walmart even though I'm buying this from walmart.com. It actually is sold and shipped by VIP OUTLET. Who the hell are VIP OUTLET?

Although, I will say, that name does ring a bell. We ordered a cheap Nintendo Switch on Wish and got essentially a brand new Switch.

**VIP OUTLET - A Legit Vendor?**

I don't think this is a gaming PC video anymore. So I wanted to sit down today and do this video telling you all about how I'm gonna build a gaming PC at Walmart. I don't think there's much point. I feel like I need to know who VIP OUTLET are.

**Who are VIP OUTLET?**

VIP OUTLET. Save up to 70% on top brands. So they actually have their own website here. Free shipping and free returns, great savings on top brands. Apple, Samsung, Sony, Microsoft, Intel... Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

OUTLET?Although, I will say,that name does ring a bell.We ordered a cheap Nintendo Switch on Wishand got a essentially brand new Switch.- Lenovo Legion T7, $1,900.This vendor seems pretty legit.- I don't think thisis a gaming PC video anymore.So I wanted to sit down todayand do this videotelling you all abouthow I'm gonna build agaming PC at Walmart.I don't think there's much point.I feel like I need to knowwho VIP OUTLET are.VIP OUTLET.Save up to 70% on top brands.So they actually havetheir own website here.Free shipping and free returns,great savings on top brands.Apple, Samsung, Sony,Microsoft, Intel-Whoa, whoa, whoa!Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"VIP OUTLET is North America'slargest refurbisher of retail returns."So VIP OUTLETliterally just "refurbished" returns.So I'm sure they buy palletsof old computers or tech or whateverfrom Walmart, or from Amazon,or from whoever.They refurbish them,which who knows how much work that is,and they will turn aroundand they'll sell them back.Even on Walmart's own website.Yo, I'm going down therabbit hole right now.Okay!We got ourselves a discounted PS5!They have a digital PS5 for $360.If I'm trying to buy a digital PS5,I'm almost paying $500.Can we find some cheap Xboxes?Ooh!Dude!The Series S for $204.We cracked the code.It's been years.I've been scammed on Wish,on TEMU, on Amazon,Best Buy, GameStop,Walmart, Target.Have I found the promised land?Is it really VIP OUTLET?Dude, if this is legit,these are ridiculous deals.If you go a little bit deeperand you really pay attentionto some of the specs,there's some legitimatelygood stuff in here, man.I'm gonna order a bunch of stufffrom VIP OUTLET,and one of two things is gonna happen:I am going to, A,get scammed and lose all my moneyand receive absolutely nothing,or B, find some of themost dope deals ever.Or I guess, 1A,I get my itemsand they're in terrible conditionand it wasn't worth it.There's only one way to find out.So we've had a little bit of timeto dig into VIP OUTLET,and it is only one small subsidiaryof a much larger companyknown as goTRG.So unlike most platformsthat will just set a priceand forget itor change it every few days or whatever,goTRG's platform allowsthe price to constantly change.Part of the reason why on VIP OUTLET,I saw some prices changewhile I literally had things in the cart.So fingers crossedthat when we get all of our stuff,it may actually belegitimately great deals.Or we get scammed again.But I'm gonna just say great deals.So we have received our item.It's clearly a laptop,but they've put itin some kind of generic black box,which I will say kudos for themto actually use properpackaging it seems like.Yeah, boy!So this is our Netbook.Oh, my good lord.Yo, it's minty!So the fact that VIP OUTLET,in the year 2023,are selling a Netbook,which is what,15, 16 years old at this point,is wild to me.- I'm old!- We got ourselves ethernet, VGA,a couple of USB 2.0 ports,microphone,as well as headphone jack.On the other sidewe have ourselves a Kensington lock,and we have the actual power barrel,as well as a SD and a MMC card slot.Wow.And then we have removable batteries.Which this is a 25 watt hour battery,which is tiny.Even, again,by those standards of the day.Oh my God,I may have just pooped my pants.Just a little bit.Just a little bit.Now, looking at the specs,you're gonna see some thingsthat are not super strong.So we've got ourselvesan Intel Atom processor,this is one of the old school Atomsdesigned for Windows XP.'Cause even though a lot of Netbookswere successful in a time periodwhere Windows Vista existed,Vista was so hard to runthat Microsoft actuallycontinued to allow manufacturersto use Windows XPfor years after Vista had existed.Okay, so we've got a little charging LED.It's coming alive!- It's alive!- Is everyone okay in the roomif I cry a little bit?- Were you this emotionalwhen your son was born?- No, he's not running Windows XP, so.(everyone laughing)So Netbooks originallywere very cheap for back in their day.I believe this wassupposed to be around $400.But even then, like,you know for 2006, 2007,a $400 computer wasincredibly hard to come byin any kinda regular way.Like, these were meant to be really cheap.But we got thisessentially brand newand perfect for $120.Oh, oh, oh.Is it gonna do the thing?Anticipation.(Windows startup sound)(Austin groaning)- Jesus.That-- Whoo-hoo!You children who are watching this video,the fact that you grew up-You grew up on an iPad, didn't you?I'm sorry that youdidn't have a childhood.- Are you talking to Joanna or the camera?- I'm talking to thecamera and the audience.Joanna I'm sure had a wonderful childhood.I would never talk (beep) about that.Zero cap, I am going to use thisfor at least a while.I will definitely crumble and cavewhen I realize that I can't do anythingonline anymore,but like I'm so happy.I'm gonna straight use this thing.Subscribe and ringling the dingling buttonfor Austin's Windows XPNetbook adventure.VIP OUTLET, though,you could not have possibly given mea better item to startthis sort of unboxing out.I am so damn happy right now.We have actuallya decent amount of padding here.PS Siete.- Cinco.- The PS Cinco!So, I'm gonna stick to my day job.So this is the PS5 digital edition"God of War: Ragnarok"fully functional Grade-B console.Oh, interesting.Okay.So these are the original accessories.They've been repacked, though.I don't believe that the DualSensecomes in this sort of bag.This controller does look minty.It's got a little waft of flatulence.I'm not sure how best to describe it.As our resident flatulence expert comes-- Okay. Okay.- A little off gassy.- No, it's pretty normal.- Oh. Oops.Was that me?(everyone laughing)PS5 "God of War: Ragnarok"and scratch here for the pin.So I'm assumingthat it actually has not been redeemed.So as a refresher,this digital PS5cost just under $370.Although, thanks to themagic of their algorithm,if you actually wanted to go buy thison VIP OUTLET today,it's actually 350 bucks.So this is one of the superiorPS5 1200 models.Check out,we've done a few videos,but especially"The new PS5 is better"is the one I would really recommendbecause that showswhat this new 1200 will do.But I'll say,this is the model thatI would much prefer.The first damage I've seen at allis around the USB port.So someone had some funtrying to plug that in.But this looks pretty minty on the inside.I'm not seeing reallyany dust on the fans,either it was very much refurbishedand cleaned up,or more and likely,it was a return that someonegot angry with the USB A porttrying to plug it in then go,"Mom, I want the disc version.All my friends have 'Fortnite' on disceven though it doesn't even exist!But wah!"That's fairly accurate.I think that's what they sound like.I'm afraid, though,that their algorithm's so smartthat as soon as I start talkingabout this in the videoand people start going to their site,their prices are gonna startalgorithmically spiking.That's the only downside I see right now.So after a quick setup process,our PS5 is operational.My only real question now,it clearly seems to work fine,is whether or notmy "God of War" code actually works.Code for "God of War: Ragnarok."Punch that code in, my friends.Whoever gets it firstgets a free code to "Ragnarok"courtesy of VIP OUTLET.So this, if I remember right,is our Xbox Series S.So this is showing as a Grade-A console,fully functional.I wanna say,was this 230 bucks?We paid $204 for an Xbox Series S.I do not know what to dowith myself right now.Can you seethe look of genuine happiness and delighton my face?So some of these thingshave clearly been repacked,but something like thislooks like it probably wasn't touched and-Does it have batteries?No batteries inside here,so you know what?That's one thing I'm not seeingwhich is very minorin the grand scheme of things.Okay, let me just take a lookto make sure it's not all scuffed to hell.Nah, dude.Nah, it's a wrap, dude.This is so good!Now this one is Grade-Afully functional.Boom.That is a fullSeries 2 Elite controller.So this was $95,but as a refresher,we purchased thisnot from VIP OUTLET direct,but from eBay.So we already have ourpaddles on the back.We've got what is almostcertainly brand new.Like there's no waythat someone's used this.'Cause the thing is with this,it's got that sort of really likekind of tacky sort of rubber grips.Use this thing for like a few hours,and it definitely is no longer new.Smells new.Oh, dude, this is mint.Excuse me while we interruptthis regular scheduled programming.Right as I saying all these nice thingsabout this controller,we had a little discovery.So while the controllerdoes fully function,the right stick will sometimes get stuck.So I think I seewhy someone returned this,and why I will soon be testingthe VIP OUTLET return policy'cause my super coolgreat deal of a controllerdoesn't work that great.So with my Elite Series 2plugged into my Series S,let's fire it up.Just works.(Austin applauding)Can we get a spotlight, please?There's been a lot of sleepless nights,a lot of tears,a lot of sniffing itemsthat shouldn't have been sniffed,and aural blissthat just wasn't bliss enough.Finally all paid off.Thank you, VIP OUTLET.Thank you.We're supposed to be in the middleof shooting this video.Everyone's so impressed with the deals.What are you looking at right now?- This 512 gig,4th gen iPad Pro 11 inches M2is $800.- Joanne,instead of running the camera,what are you doing right now?- I'm ordering a PS5.- From?- VIP OUTLET.(Austin laughing)- We're not kidding!We finally did something good!It's taken so long!We finally did something good!We're gonna finish this video strongwith the item that kickedthe entire premiseof us doing VIP OUTLET off.So this, my friends,is our Asus gaming PC,which to remind you,is Grade-A fully functional.So we purchased this,again, it came from VIP OUTLET,but technicallywe purchased it off of walmart.com.And this is outfittedwith an RTX 3060,which, mind you,we ordered this before the 4060 came outwhich is probablyslightly pushing some 3060 values down,but not by that much.But this was a little bit less than $680.- Yeah, actually,currently it is $642on the website right now.- This is not a great way to ship a PC.This is the first timewhere I'm actually notmassively excited about VIP OUTLET.The fact that the PC can-I mean, you can see here,even with this closed,has a little too much rattle.Especially 'cause we do havea full dedicated graphics card.I think it's okay,but this is not great.All right,so what do we have here?Uh-oh. Yep.This has gotten scratched.You see there's actuallysome fairly deep gougesabove the ROG logo right there.Oh yeah.And look, there's a little scuff here.There's like some sticker goo.So the original listingactually saidthat this had a side panel,but insteadit's just got a metal side panel.None of thisis anywhere close to a deal breakerconsidering how much we saved,but compared to every other itemthat we've seen here,which was damn near flawless,this has a little bit to be desired.It's a smaller low-profile card,which is totally fine.So it actually has like a bracketwhich is actually connectedto the motherboardand thereforeto the back panel and everything, right?So this bracket heremeans that there's no flex in that card.So we've got a 550 watt80 plus bronze power supply.You can see manufacturedate is July of 2021.So this is a littlebit of an older system.You know, it's basicallybeen sitting aroundfor I mean essentially two years nowat this point.Ooh, okay.- There's RGB in it?- There is RGB,which is weird,'cause, again, there's no windowbut you've got a little strip there.Oh yeah, okay.It works.Well, that was anti-climactic.Clearly not every single thingyou get from VIP OUTLETis going to be mintyand amazingly priced,but this is still amazingly priced.I would consider swapping out the case,especially because thisone is slightly scuffed.But other than that,this thing gets a big thumbs up.And I gotta say,VIP OUTLET, man.
