I actually did buy a PC for my son on Amazon that turned out to have old components that were not compatible with each other. It kept on crashing no matter which game I ran. I returned it for a refund, and bought an HP Victus from Best Buy during a 200 dollar off sale for 500 dollars. Itās been very rock solid. Runs everything very fast. 12th gen Core i5 cpu.

Love that you've called out Amazon for not monitoring these scam sites and letting them continue to do business through Amazon's website. Most people don't really know what to look for in a good gaming PC so they often see these listings and think they're a great deal š.
I'd love to see you guys investigating the Pre-Built and SI companies to see if they're running scams by overcharging their customers or if they're actually doing them a service.

I notice all the time when I am looking at an Amazon listing that it will have a large percentage of one star reviews but when I click to see the one star reviews amazon says there are none to display. pretty suspicious, it's almost like Amazon doesn't care if third party sellers are scamming buyers so long as it makes them money

Three years ago, I bought the cheapest of the cheapest bogus gaming PCs off Amazon on pure purpose to savage all the components and repurpose them. It kinda worked out to this present day. It had a generic black case I use to build cheap test scenarios, kind of a test bench that can be closed ... then I use the mainboard, which is mini-itx with soldered-on AMD FX mobile CPU for a tiny emulator/SteamRemotePlay machine and a 3d printed compact case, adding an AMD RX550 4GB for basic graphics needs. So this was a very tactical recycling move. I am however very sorry for all the people that bought this "gaming PC" as-is and found out not to be able to play anything on it.

There is a use for these types of PC's (not these exact ones, just ones built in a similar vein). I think the Toasty Bros probably build a lot of these lower end, older parts type of rigs, but they also benchmark them, are pretty upfront about what games they can and can't play, and even what settings you need to use to get the best results. Plus, it seems like they probably have much better customer service and you do get some sort of warranty from them.

I like how Austin is extremely passionate about this. You can tell heās holding back about how upset he is. Honestly Iād watch a series about investigating this deeper.
