and welcome back to Broke Vs. Pro Gaming.

You guys really seemed to enjoy the last episode,

so this time we're taking it to the gaming PC realm.

- [Ken] I got you.

- What? - [Ken] Here, hold the camera.

- What? - Let's go, let's go.

- What are you doing, Ken?

- Let's go.

- Okay, so we are here at Micro Center

to build the Pro Vs. Broke gaming PCs.

What is the budget this time?

- So this is a better time than ever to point out

that this video is brought to you by Micro Center.

Specifically my part of the video

where I get to buy all the stuff

with an unlimited budget

Thanks to our sponsor of today's video--

- [Austin] Are you serious-- - Micro Center!

- [Austin] right now?

You're a sellout now.

I'm fine, but you're the sellout.

- Look I'm not a sellout,

I'm just here to let you know

that this is one of Micro Center's 25 locations

- [Austin] Oh my God.

- We're here in Tustin, California,

and if you want a link to any of the items

that I bought today, - Of course.

- They'll be in the description

or feel free to visit your local Micro Center.

- You know, it's exactly like Ken

to get a secret sponsor and not tell me

and of course that sponsor benefits him and not me.

I mean, I shouldn't be surprised.

I feel like he has a lot of sponsors

in Mystery Tech I'm just not aware of.

What are you-- - This video is brought to you

by Micro Center.

Go to Micro Center for all of your PC needs.

Okay so all good PC builds,

especially ones that have unlimited budget,

start with the PC case, of course.

Because this is the thing that everyone sees

and it's the thing that signifies that you are pro.

- [Austin] Because you care about aesthetics,

- I do. - [Austin] not performance.

Oh wait, this is a standing desk with a PC in it.

- [Austin] We're not trying to fit this in the office.

No.

No.

No.

No!

- Oh my God, what is this?

- [Austin] What is that?

- Oh my God, like it has the water cooling in the front.

- [Austin] Are you really just gonna

buy a pre-built right now?

- I mean, it's not against the rules, right?

I'm gonna go see if there's someone

that can help us here... - [Austin] Really, how many

water-cooled computers can Micro Center have?

- Wait... (laughs)

- [Austin] Oh no.

- (laughs) Oh.

- [Austin] Dude, are you serious right now?

- I've always wanted a crazy RGB water-cooled PC.

And that, that's pretty crazy RGB.

- [Austin] That's a Maingear?

- That is a Maingear PC, actually.

Cool.

- [Austin] Oh no.

Oh, there's a remote for it?

- So it has Core i9-9900K,

16 gigs of RAM, one terabyte SSD,

and 2080 TI, with--

- [Austin] 2080 TI?

- Yeah, 11 gigs of VRAM. (laughs)

And this PC is running the best operating system

for gaming, Windows 10, which is available

in the link in the description below at MicroCenter.com.

- This thing looks awesome.

I have to do literally no work.

I'm also paying for labor.

But that's okay, I don't have to pay for it myself.

Because the gracious sponsor of today's video, Micro Center,

is doing it for me.

I will be taking this one,

because it doesn't look like it is here.

- [Austin] Are you just gonna take

the display model right now?

- I will take the display model.

- [Austin] You're-- - It's cheaper. It's cheaper.

I know you like that.

I know you like that.

- [Micro Center Rep] I can actually tell you

how expensive it'll be.

- Ooh.

- [Austin] Are you getting a discount

literally as we speak right now?

- Thank you Micro Center.

- [Micro Center Rep] He also looks cooler.

Did you see his shirt?

- [Austin] Did you just say he looks cooler?

- (laughs) I love Micro Center even more now.

Their employees know what's up.

- [Micro Center Rep] By the way Austin, the Apple section

is over there.

(all laughing)

- We couldn't make that up, even if we wanted to.

- So while Ken might decide

to go and buy some pre-built, water-cooled computer,

I am going to do it the old-fashioned way

and build it myself.

I mean, I'm working with

less than 10% of what Ken has, right?

I mean, he has more money in his water-cooling

than I have for my entire setup.

So one of my thoughts is,

"I can go with, like, integrated graphics, go super cheap,

"Or, I could cut all the corners and try

to squeeze the cheapest graphics card I can."

Hey, dude.

- Just wanna say hi.

- Aw, thanks man, I appreciate it. (laughs)

Yeah, we're just shooting a video right now.

As you can probably see. - Yeah.

- (laughs)

Awesome. Hey, have a good one.

- All righty, Austin. - Oh.

Because you said budget, I went ahead and grabbed--

- Why would you do-- (laughs)

what are you doing to me, man?

- It's an open box.

- It's an open box for what-- It's $700.

- You're right, you're right.

So let's scale it down a little bit.

- (groans) This guy, this guy right here.

One of the legit advantages of going

to a store like Micro Center

is that it's not as straightforward

as, "Oh, I'm just gonna order this brand new part," right?

I'm trying to take advantage of open box.

I'm trying to take advantage of bundle deals.

I'm trying to take advantage of the dusty thing they've got

in the back that they totally forgot about.

Like, whatever I can do to save a few dollars

and make my system remotely game-able...

(stutters) game-ified, game-alicious...

game...

...atastrophe.

I need to game

on a very small budget.

- [Ken] This is a very explosive value, might one say.

Right, Austin?

- Look, usually it's a good idea

to get a very nice power supply

that will work for years and years to come,

and give you excellent reliability.

And sometimes, I'm trying to beat Ken

and I need a 400-watt power supply.

Look, sometimes in life, you do as I say,

not as I do.

That's it my friend.

Thank you so much, I would shake your hand but--

- That's all right, I'll give you an elbow bump.

- I'm gonna do it very carefully.

Okay. We're gonna do this.

Thank you for the help. - Of course.

- I am going to go and be victorious in my gaming exploits.

(clears throat)

All right, so it is time to build my Micro Center PC.

Now I see that you're already set up here.

- [Ken] I am.

- Like, how much work that took you.

- [Ken] It was very laborious.

- Oh, yeah. It was so hard to plug in the power cable,

press the RGB button.

- [Ken] Dude, this thing is not light at all.

- Oh, boo-hoo. You had to pick up your $3,000 PC.

- [Ken] No, Matt had to, but that's fine.

- (laughs) You didn't even do it yourself.

- So a bunch of y'all complained last time

that I didn't have a mousepad.

And the sponsor of today's video, Micro Center,

just so happened to pay for everything,

and they also let me get

a HyperX

FURY S...

- [Austin] Did that come out of my budget?

- Probably.

- [Austin] It's on my receipt.

- Yeah.

We're done.

- [Austin] (scoffs) That's... yep. Pro gamer right here,

ladies and gentlemen.

- [Ken] What are you doing?

- Building my GPU Mining case.

There's a lot of components in here.

- [Ken] Wow.

That looks like a lot of work.

- [Austin] So, my graphics card

should go something like here,

- [Ken] Yes.

- However, my motherboard... down here.

Because I believe as a mining card,

this is meant to be used with risers.

Something that I did not think ahead about.

- [Ken] Hmm... Team poverty not looking great today.

So, I'm just gonna take this,

I'm just gonna put it-- no, I...

- Mine. No.

- [Ken] Okay, well--

- [Austin] I need a power supply, Ken.

If you're not gonna put it next to the fire extinguisher,

then I'm gonna take the fire extinguisher to you.

- Look, it's fine.

Don't worry about it.

- Look, I'm just trying to be a good friend.

It's happened once before, I'm out for him.

Like, I know it's kind of a competition,

but I've gotta keep it friendly,

and I care about his business.

And I need to make sure that fires don't happen

on my watch. (laughs)

Look, I wasn't hired back then, so, I mean. (laughs)

- [Austin] Ken, with all the fun you've been making

of my PC, you missed the best part:

my power cable.

There we go, see?

Power cable. That's my power button right there,

- Or as I like to call it, a detonator.

- No, my power cable-- All right, you know what?

So I think my broke setup is about done.

As you can see, we have our processor, our memory,

motherboard, graphics card, SSD, power supply,

as well as our case.

All set up, nicely cable managed, and ready

for some gaming action.

Hey, it works!

I don't know what--

- [Ken] (groans) Here, all right, take this, take this,

take this, take this.

- My graphics card is spinning, my CPU is spinning.

- [Ken] Oh, Jesus. (laughs)

- It's all right.

Look. Once that this works, I will actually try

to clean some cables.

My power supply is power supplying,

and have I POSTed?

Nope, I want DVI, I want DVI, give me DVI.

(groans) Okay. I'm gonna need to do some testing.

But hey, this is a good sign.

There's signs of life, my fans are spinning,

my USB peripherals are USB-ing,

I'm sure I can figure this out.

By tomorrow when we do the actual test-off.

(playful music)

- [Ken] We've been here for, like, an hour and a half.

- No, we're doing it tomorrow, it's fine.

- [Ken] Okay.

- So, after some minor alterations to my computer,

it is fully functional, with some wonderful LTT store--
