 PC Building Simulator. Have you guys seen this? Have you heard about this? I've never actually played one of these simulator games, but I was intrigued when I saw this. Would having actual PC building experience translate to the game and vice versa? Can you actually learn to build a PC with PC Building Simulator? To find out, we've got me, an experienced PC builder, and we've got a control group. Dennis, who will win? We're not sure because there aren't really any rules in this challenge. Thanks to VideoBlocks for sponsoring today's video. They're an awesome subscription-based resource for downloading stock footage, video, and more. Stay tuned for an awesome offer from them later on. What's up, guys? Do you know how this works? No, it looks real. What? I didn't think it was a real game. I think the PC looks real. What? No, it doesn't. It doesn't? So there's a number of problems. One, it clearly looks like a 3D graphic. Right. Two, the power supply isn't plugged into almost anything. Oh. Okay, I think this is gonna be a cakewalk. Welcome to PC Building Simulator. To begin, go to your PC and open the email program on your desktop. Go to a PC. You've got mail. Wow, that. Wait, you're too bad. That is an old reference. Oh, that's a long email. Don't write long emails. This is so cheesy already. The letter that reminding you to put thermal paste in is signed by Uncle Tim. Objectives, PC can boot to OS, remove viruses. Oh, cable. Oh, okay, plug in the cable. Every stupid screw. How do I plug in the cable? Okay, so you click and hold cables to plug them in. Wait, I couldn't even plug in the cable. That's great. Okay, I'm installing my virus. This is gonna be so easy. Dennis, you're terrible. I couldn't even plug in the cable. Okay, click and hold it. Click and hold it. No, no, just click, click and hold. Oh, no. No, stop, don't drag. What are you? I say click and hold. Click on there and hold. Click and hold. Wow, I wish real virus scanners ran that fast. To be honest, I don't even know how to remove a virus. Email, get paid. Okay, select. I made a hundred bucks for removing those viruses. How? Dang. Why is my minus $15? How do I remove the virus? I have already fixed that computer and I have left the office for the day. Not surprised. How do I remove the virus? Can you give me some hints? Well, you don't remove viruses by working on the tower. Go look at the screen. No, why do you pick up the computer? Plug it back in. Oh, God, I have to do that again? What are you even doing? Oh, I can't plug in the cables. He wants a 970, Sheen. Sheen, gamer, Sheen. I'm getting the cheaper one. I'm gonna make more money on this job, yo. There's no virus, remove program. There's no remove viruses. You didn't put in your USB. Oh, I need to have a USB? Yeah, how are you gonna install your antivirus program? Oh, okay. USB drive sale. I am not making any progress, Linus. I'm trying to remove the virus. Get a new PC. Who's this guy? Go to that thing, yeah, sure. I want to cry. Did you buy a USB? Oh, what did you get? No, you already have it. Where? In your thing. Well, you gotta put the computer on the table. What are you doing? Did you pick up your work computer? Oh, that's a work computer? Yeah, it's off now. Now you gotta like crawl under the desk and plug it back in, I bet, with how this game goes. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Dad! Stop. So Dennis, I don't want to put any pressure on you, but I have already finished my second job and I have the parts I need ordered for my third one. I have minus $15. Oh, right there. Yeah, no, no, no, don't sell it. Why would you sell it? Well, no, you're not, okay. Click, right, left click to work on the computer. Right click. No, left click. No, you just said left click. Oh, I have to do that again. Oh, this is the third time I had to do this. I think this is harder than building a real computer. Start scanning. I really need another workbench. Okay, my second day is done. I just got a graphics card. Oh, okay, I got this one. End day, go to work. I need a break. What? I just got paid 525 bucks, baby. Yeah. I'm still broke. How much money have you made so far? $100. I need some more space to back up my files. Could you install a 500 gigabyte HDD? Custom will take a day to arrive. So the current day by going to... Wow, this Audrey1945 at Toast Mail, this is like a great job. All I gotta do is put literally, they even said I can pick the cheapest air cooler. All of my stuff, all the parts I need is in transit. What I do now, Slack. Dennis, you are getting your ass kicked so hard right now. I am blowing out this dust like a boss. 250. I have $515, Dennis. I have $5. Gonna collect that Audrey1945 money right now. I'll have to remove virus again, okay. Boom, 785 bucks. 553 files infected. Oh, oh cool. Cool, cool. Why are you making those sound effects? Why are you still making them? Oh, I'm still blowing. What is that? Oh, surprise box. Maybe it's... Is it something you ordered? No, that's a box from a fan. Open it. You can reject tomorrow. Oh my God, I hate you. I want to go home. End date. Is this how you handle your work here? Dennis, you're still not opening it. I want to finish this first. You don't know what's in it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that arrived. Oh, graphics cards here. And the hard drive. Oh God, okay, now I can do this. You have to upgrade the RAM. 60 GB. Wait Dennis, how much RAM does it already have? I don't know. Then you should find out. No, Dennis, what if he already has... He doesn't. Eight gigs. What are you talking about? Oh, I can, they add that up? Oh, they do that? 14 minus two is 12. He has two. Two, yeah. So I need another 12 GB. Gigabyte. What does that get you? 14. What are you trying to get? Oh my God, oh my God. I need 14, I need 14. Oh my God. I just got over $1,000. Do you understand the game? Like, are you ready to do a build off? He's doing basic math right now. Can you, you just distracted me again. I'm gonna get him three RAMs and he will have 16 GB in total. I ordered three RAMs, they charged me and he didn't say it's already in transit. It's not a scam, right? All right, do you wanna do a build off? Oh, this is not the game? This is a warmup? Oh yeah, this is the game. Okay. Well yeah, but you lost this game, so we're gonna try another game. How about this client? I quit. You just quit your job just like that? Okay, so Dennis and I are doing our free build challenge now to see who can build the best rig the fastest. Wait, none of the, there's no PC here that works. They're all just computer cases. Oh, here, here, here. On the shelf. No, no, the closet over there. Yep, there you go. Wow, so I can just put in like the best stuff. Whatever I want. Oh God. Oh, Hyperbeast. No, I don't want that. I hate you. Ah, okay, fine, fine, fine. I'm putting a thousand dollar power supply in my system. This? Yeah, go pick it up. Dragon thing? Yeah, we're going, oh, we're going X399. I won. X399, baby. Okay, no, no, no. What do you have to do first? You have to put a- Motherboard. Motherboard. I know, I know. Motherboard, cool. Oh, inaccurate, inaccurate. This motherboard does not have a screw hole here. This hasn't been used since like Intel branded boards. This system is going to break immediately because it'll short out the back of the board because I have an extra standoff in it. Yeah, you only need like four screws. I'm not, I'm not lying. 250X. Boom. Dennis, Dennis, I'm putting on thermal paste already. That's a gigabyte GA- Okay, what processor can you put in there? I don't know. Oh, man, there's so many memory clips. Ryzen. Oh, tedious. They all look the same. Go. I don't even need that. I need a, what's that called, paste. What? No, you need to put the processor in there first. You don't have a processor in there. You need a paste to put a processor, right? Wait, I'm right. I'm not joking. You have to open it and put the paste in, put the CPU. What's wrong with that? Okay, fine, fine, fine. I'll pick one. I'll get Ryzen 5 quad core 1400. I don't know if that's cool, but that sounds cool. Meanwhile, I just put 128 gigs of RAM into my system. I know what you meant. Okay, yeah, yeah, I do. I saw the pastes before the CPU. Okay, that's wrong. Oh my God. That was so stupid. See that? Oh, that's right, baby. Don't drop it. That's enough? That's like a size up of rice. Okay, I want maybe what color should I go? Purple. I don't like purple though. Oh man, this is actually, okay, you have to like take off the back panel. I know, I know, I know. What's next? You do that, you do that. RAM? Oh, I know. Don't tell me, I know. It doesn't fit. That's a wrong hole. RAM is a shorter memory of the PCs. Okay. And you don't need any paste in the memory slot before you put it in. I know. Do you? Do you know? The holes don't fit. I mean, it doesn't let me put it in. Oh God. It doesn't let me put it in. You can actually connect like your fan hub. Oh my God. Wow, so my cabling can actually be neat too. So I can connect my fan hub to the board. And then I can connect all my fans to the hub. Nice. That's so detailed. I actually have to open the clip thing. Next one. Shh, I know. This one's GPU. No, you always say GPU last, right? Wow, maybe he did pick something up in the last three years. Right. I'll do some hard drive. Why hard drive? Because. Not an SSD. Ah yeah, SSD. Don't change my mind. There's no SSD anyways. Oh, this is... Oh my God, I'm pointing at it. Okay, I got it. I got it. Power supply. Power supply. Hmm. Didn't have enough SATA ports on this board for all my drives. Although, funnily enough, if I zoom in on the board, it looks like it does have enough. It just doesn't know that. So I was right. Game was wrong. Just wanna make sure that the record's straight here. I feel that too. You feel that too? What are you even talking about? Okay, I'm gonna get a graphics card. 1080. 1080's cool, maybe. 1080's for hosers. Board boom. Other motherboard. Boom. Um. Done. Look at those art... Oh, look at those light up fans, baby. Dennis, you lost the game, man. Wait, can you look at my setup? Well, you're short of RAM stick, for one thing. Why? I only got three. I have three. Yeah, that's wrong. Why is that wrong? I only need three. For what? What do you mean? I just want three. Okay, I have more? Do I need more? Well, you- There's only three slots. I guarantee you there's another slot. Oh, yeah, it's hiding. I saw it. It's there. So, in a nutshell, you know what? Actually, a lot cooler than I thought it would be. You're not actually gonna learn how to be a PC tech and you're not gonna be able to jump right from PC building simulator into building your own computer. There are some fairly significant oversights as a way to kind of fool around and get comfortable with the idea of digging a little deeper watching maybe one of our videos on how to build a PC.
