Building a PC... using only Wish.com

Buy Gaming PCs on Amazon: https://geni.us/S006

 

Since you guys loved our Amazon basics and Monoprice builds, we decided to get just a little more sketchy and attempt to build a PC using only parts we purchased from Wish.com. Strap in folks, because I can pretty much guarantee that everything WON’T go to plan.

I learned not to trust Wish when I tried to buy a Jack Daniels zippo, only to get a mini-blowtorch instead. English is NOT China's first language. Neither is visual cues, as in: This don't look like this; send it anyway

 

End result? Account closed, and now I laugh at those that get those cheap 'deals', only to find out they got sooo ripped off.

Petty? Whatever. I choose with my wallet, and a little bit of trust, and when the trust is gone, so goes my wallet.

 

I thought it was funny how Linus was like"how much did WE pay for this?", and the next item was"how much did I pay for this?"

Oh, to have a boss that gave me his credit card with instructions to go nuts lol

My brother bought a graphics card that looked a lot like that, it claimed to be a GTX 1060, and after some digging we found it to be something close to a GTS 450.

What is actually supposed to go here? Some people put their specs, others put random comments or remarks about themselves or others, and there are a few who put cryptic statements.

As soon as I saw that card, I went "Great! Another GTX5 (or 4 series, usually they are 550 tis, 460s or something of that sort) series GPU branded as a 10 series with a VBIOS flash....." (If any other large YouTubers want some, I have 2 that I would be more than happy to sell them.)

In search of the future, new tech, and exploring the universe! All under the cover of anonymity!

I am from China

 

Check this

  1. Case     ￥99
  2. Mother Board   ￥168
  3. CPU      ￥118
  4. Cooler   ￥40
  5. Graphics Card (750ti 1G) ￥150
  6. RAM  (DDR3-1600 4Gx2)￥105*2=210
  7. SSD   (860EVO 250G)￥339
  8. Power Supply (Almost same)￥70
  9. Keyboard ￥38
  10. Mouse      ￥22
  11. Mouse Pad ￥9.9

Total ￥1264 = $177.2791     Rate: 1 USD=7.13 CNY

In china, these are all free shipping.

Keyboard and mouse are normally ￥19.8(2.8USD) together(of course free shipping)

 

Power Supply is not working maybe because it only support 220-240V.

After all it's cheaper than the supply 110-240V.

 

Actually, Linus should find someone who really know China second-hand market.

Some guys only spend only about 100CNY to build a PC which can play LOL at 50fps.

Yeah. There is good Chinese stuff... then there is the stuff with the "is it in the box" checklist, with 9 items out of 10 ticked off, and the actual needed item for the product to work when assembled? A big "cross" in it, then signed by the packager/staff and shipped out anyhow. ?‍♂️

The RGB speakers, were they Wish as well?

They looked pretty interesting, where did he get them from?

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

@James Can the LTT team please open up that so-called "GTX 1060" and check out what's actually engraved into the die to finally find out if it's a GTX 450 ("GF106" would be GTS 450), or to find out if they even somehow removed/covered the engraving to cover up the actual GPU, and post photos of it in this thread, or even make a short tech-tips video with Linus or another LTT-person (Anthony?) about opening that graphicscard and checking out the die markings/size? :) Would be amazing to figure out how that wish.com GPU-seller actually proceeded!
