These GT 710 "GAMING" Pre-builts Need To Be Stopped...

I Feel Like There's Some Redundant Raiding Going On Here...

But it's got a Ryzen 5 4650G in it, eight gigs of RAM, almost definitely single-channel... uh yeah, that's not too bad; it's better than having a GT 710 near system.

Let's see down here and NZXT Diamond Find Chaos Custom Avenger... what are these names? Enter the Dragon Gaming PC, Antique Attacks, Custom Beast Elite, Return of the King Gaming System... these are like Bob's Burgers' "Burger of the Day" PC names; we've got them all...

But none of them have GT-710s in it specifically. Okay, okay, good on you! Take a lot... never mind. Let's have a look at the UK Amazon.com.uk website. Would probably be the way to go about that.

Okay, so let's see here... now the Amazon's Choice stuff is "Admi"... and then yeah, I mean these don't have GT-710s in them; that's a bit of a letdown. Here's a GT-710 fast gaming PC with an Intel i5. What? It doesn't specify what the i5 model is... it's got DDR3 in it, so that is immediately a red flag.

Ugh, this actually seems like very similar marketing to the GT-710-based systems that Techies City was having a look at...

Finally, let's do like Amazon Japan (why not?). I'm gonna do Amazon.jp.jp. Not lp.jp.jp; JP is the most efficient Amazon in the world... uh, let's do Gaming PC. Let's see here... what options do we have in Japan?

$2,500 (250 yen) that's about 30-70 Ti... okay, okay, what is this thing? Mouse LG G Tune... it's got GDDR6 in it! So, that's the 1650 GDDR6 version in it. Okay, so that's pretty cool...

Yeah, it seems to be mostly OEM-based stuff though.

Let's see if we can do GT-710. Wow! Here you can get a GT710 for $3,300 yen... that's like $33 dollars for a GT710! That's a steal!

That's a great deal! Oh, here's one for about $100, but it's the super-fancy new ASUS one... Uh, yeah; you can't buy GT-710-based pre-built systems here either...

It seems like the GT-710-based pre-built issue is almost primarily a North American problem, that seems mostly to be driven by iBuyPower.

So, I'm just gonna have a look at eBay because this is where you find some sellers who took a leaf out of iBuyPower's playbook and are also selling GT-710-based pre-builds...

Here... uh, I think the ones that Brian from Tech City were looking at was on here... If you haven't seen that video yet, go check it out! He goes into a lot of detail about why it's a bad idea...

Ugh, this marketing is absolutely outrageous... straight to Fortnite kiddos with "Free something in it"... they don't explain what it is... oh, it comes with a free monitor!

Wait, now I want it!

What is the shipping time estimate? Estimated July...

I'm gonna let you know down in the comment section below if you think I should buy this system or one of the iBuyPower ones... because I think I should buy a GT-710-based system and have a look at it for a video.

I think that'll be really interesting. Other than that, if you've found GT-710 based pre-builds on your local e-tailer wherever you live, please do let me know down in the comment section below...

And yeah... until the next video... Bye-bye!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entoday we're doing another video of david at his desk considering that the pacific west coast is in the grips of an apocalyptic heat wave uh fan temperature testing couldn't happen so now we're just going to go onto the internet and laugh at gt710 based prebuilts now i did a video more than a year ago at this point having a look at gt710 prebuilts but then recently i saw a techies city video where brian was looking at a bunch of like high-speed gaming systems with gt710s in them and i thought i wonder if the big system integrators are also still doing this so what we're going to do today is see how easy these systems are to find and hopefully warn a couple of people to not buy them wow i am getting wet real fast over here but uh what we're gonna do is we're gonna start off by going on to amazon which is you know always a great consumer experience and i'm just gonna type just gaming gaming pc straight in here and see how long it takes us to get a oh there's already one there's there's just immediately one shows up right here for 630 dollars you can buy an i buy power pro gaming system with a ryzen 5 3600 and a gt710 in it eight gigs of ram and a 240 gig ssd this seems to be a pretty standard i buy power system so it's gonna come either well built or it's gonna have been built in the back of a van which is rolling down the side of a mountain uh you never quite know with ipower it seems uh but this is such a weird hardware configuration the only reason why this would make any sense having like a ryzen 5 3600 with a gt710 in it is if you have just like a purely cpu bound use case and you want a bunch of monitor outs and you don't want to spend too much money but it's a it's it's marketed as a gaming pc so they're clearly trying to rope in the little fortnite kiddos with systems like this and it's actually even got a pretty good customer review rating on amazon now the first one is a gt 710 for gaming so james starkland has clearly put an effort explaining to people that if you want to play games this is not the way to go good job mr james oh okay never mind no maybe natural selection on amazon is going to keep people away from that um let's see if there are any other options around uh so i'm just gonna make it easier here and just search gt 710 gaming pc um yeah so it's that one there's another i buy power one here this is cyber power one with an fx 6300 in it for five hundred and seventy dollars why is this it's even in stock so you could buy one of these if you if you really hated yourself a lot okay so it seems on amazon there's just kind of one that you should really worry about although it is it is one of the first ones that pops up when you type in gaming pc so if you only have a 630 budget you may actually end up falling for that let's check out some other websites though newegg.com and then here we're going to do gaming pc see what shows up here uh the first one here is an abs challenger system with a 10 400 f and a 1660 super in it whoa look at that that's decent i mean i wonder how they get to that price i wonder what kind of power supply well i mean it says it's an 80 plus gold rated power supply motherboard wise oh okay that actually seems like wow these these all seem like reasonable pcs for the price uh but none of them have gt 710s in them so we're not we're not interested uh here's one which and i buy power system with a 1050 ti in it okay well i mean that's yeah oof okay uh it's pretty crazy that you can still buy 1050 ti based systems in in 2021 that's pretty madness or that is madness uh no no okay so it's not showing up in the first page which is good so let's specifically search for gt 710 and then see what we can find here here's one and again they're they're all i buy power systems all of the gt710 based pre-built are i buy power systems uh this one's in stock but it doesn't seem to have any reviews on it hopefully nobody's bought it um if you are looking for a gaming system do not buy an 860 dollar pc with a gt710 in it uh but newegg at least isn't pushing it like on the first page of results so that's really good let's move over to best buy i think people do often buy pcs at best buy um gaming desktops no way that is the second system literally the second system in the list down is a gt710 based i3 1005 f based again and i buy power system 530 dollars is better than 630 but it is on sale so i don't know how long that price is gonna last uh it comes with a 1010 105 f is that is that an actual product number isn't it just the 10 100 f let's see here it is it is actually a cpu it's a hundred dollar okay oh i thought it was just the 10 100. that's interesting uh because it's the f variant it's not going to have an igpu in it which is really stupid because if they just used like the non-f variant of it something like this the 10 100 which is 30 dollars more but remember you're not gonna have to put a gt710 in the system so it's still going to be cheaper for use the system integrator and then you have uhd 630 graphics in it which i've done multiple tests showing that the uhd 630 graphics are about twice as fast as a gt710 so if they went with this variant the pc could potentially have been cheaper and it would have offered better gaming performance the only downside would be that you'd have less video outs but you know this is not a system that you're buying for its cpu power necessarily oh yeah the last thing that i wanted to check was the actual reviews because they seem quite positive very good starter pc decent storage runs well all day long i got this for my son's birthday he loves it took him a while to put it together what do you mean uh the sound is smooth and great gift i recommend it okay well i mean these people seem to be very happy with their system but yo look at these reviews so that genuinely means that people are likely to end up buying something like this because oh it's it's right on the front page it's got good reviews if you have about six hundred dollars for a system you're gonna buy this thing right like that's not good editor dave in here another problem is that there aren't really other alternatives in that price range but you should definitely save up and get something more along the lines of this rx 560 based system or this hp pavilion with an rx 550 in it the gt710 is just not gaming capable uh let me see if my local best buy has one because i i'm actually really thinking of buying one of these systems so that we can just have like a hands-on look but for 900 canadian dollars ryzen 3 3100 a terabyte hard drive eight gigs of ram and a gt710 again an i buy power system with very good reviews yeah that seems to be the only one i may go buy i may go buy it or order one of these systems to see well on the note of checking in different countries i wonder if e tailors in all countries push gt 710 base pre-built what about like south africa uh let's try take take a lot let's try take a lot because take a lot is like amazon in in south africa here we've got a 15 000 rand system with a gt 1050 in it that's definitely better than a 710 i mean the 1050 ti is pretty old but it's not too bad wait a minute here we've got the raid max raider wow i feel like there's some redundant raiding going on here uh but it's got a ryzen 5 4650g in it eight gigs of ram almost definitely single channel oh well i mean they're they're showing two sticks here so maybe not but uh yeah yes that's not too bad it's better than having a gt 710 near system let's see down here and nzxt diamond find chaos custom avenger what are these names enter the dragon gaming pc antique attacks custom beast elite return of the king gaming system what is all of this custom beast killer rise again crusher these are like bob's burgers burger of the day pc names we've got here but none of them have gt-710s in it specifically gt710 no none of this stuff okay okay good good on good on you take a lot okay never mind let's have a look at the uk amazon.com.uk would probably be the way to go about that okay so let's see here now the amazon's choice stuff is admi and then yeah i mean these don't have gt-710s in them so that's a bit of a that's a little bit of a letdown here's a gt-710 fast gaming pc with an intel i5 what i5 does it have in it they don't specify but it's got ddr3 in it so that is immediately a red flag um that's scary this actually seems like very similar marketing to the gt 710 based systems that uh techies city was having a look at finally let's do like amazon japan why not so i'm gonna do amazon.jp jp not lp jp jp which is the most efficient amazon in the world uh let's do gaming pc let's see here what options do we have in japan 250 000 yen that's about 2 500 30 70 ti okay okay what is this thing mouse lg g tune it's got gddr6 in it so that's the okay so that's the 60 oh it's got a 1650 gddr6 version in it okay that's pretty cool yeah it seems to be mostly oem based stuff though let's see if we do gt 710 wow here you can get a gt710 for 3 300 yen that's like 33 dollars for a gt710 that is a steal that's a great deal oh here's one for about a hundred dollars but it's the super fancy new asus one um yeah you can't buy gt710 based pre-built here either so it seems like the gt 710 based pre-built issue is almost primarily a north american problem that seems mostly to be driven by i buy power so i buy power if you're watching this shame on you and then finally i'm just gonna have a look at ebay because this is where you find some sellers that took a leaf out of i buy power's playbook and are also selling the gt710 based pre-builds here uh i think the ones that uh brian from tech city were looking at was was on here if you haven't seen that video yet go check it out he goes into a lot of detail about why it's a bad idea uh yeah in fact i think it was this exact system which we found on stream last week uh so he had a look at this system again this marketing is absolutely outrageous straight to the fortnight kiddos with with free something in it they don't explain oh it comes with a free monitor wait now i want it okay no i'm sold now that's that's all i needed to know it comes with a 19 inch mixed brand vga monitor yo i really want to buy this what is the shipping time estimate estimated july okay i'm i'm gonna i let me know down in the comment section below if you think i should buy this system or one of the i buy power ones um because i think i should buy a gt710 based system and have a look at it for a video i think that'll be really interesting other than that if you have found gt 710 based prebuilts on your local e-tailer wherever you live please do let me know down in the comment section below and yeah until the next video thank you for watching bye-bye youtoday we're doing another video of david at his desk considering that the pacific west coast is in the grips of an apocalyptic
