Transcript

I had a lot of comments saying I should just want to go to Costco and got a pre-built. So guess what? We're at Costco. We're gonna go see the computers. So I'm looking at their pre-built. Um, it's very, very ugly, but it is a thousand dollars. $1000. This, this is what y'all came to Costco for. I mean, like it's just so basic. Apparently, this is the pre-built y'all were talking about, not the other one. My bad. Let's compare some specs. Wow. A black case. How original. Anyways, these are the specs that y'all keep asking about. So this has a bigger GPU than mine, but apparently, this iBUYPOWER PC gaming made easy. Apparently that brand's like the T-Mobile of the PC world. So if you want to buy that, power to ya. I'm not. But apparently, this one is really good. So if you want to spend money by this one. They also have this pre-built here. Y'all remember that cool motherboard I was looking at? This is that same brand, the one that's actually a dragon. So apparently this one's really good. So if you want to spend money by this one. You're not buying that. Put it down. We gotta go.
