Something important that relates to both PC build bungling and Phil's gullibility: does anyone remember the time in 2016 when Leanna's PC up and died? Phil bizarrely insisted on spending $500-$600 for some premade on Amazon. He refused to build one himself, and refused to even troubleshoot the damn thing to see whether it was salvageable.

Both these options were ruled out because "it would take too much time" compared to simply finding a premade, and time is important. Since... Leanna's business was based on Etsy. And she needed a working PC RIGHT NOW to be able to print receipts for orders. She insisted, and then he insisted, that The White Grape would go out of business if there was no activity for the 8-10 days a repairman's diagnosis would take, or shipping parts would take. Never mind that
  • they both owned mobile phones and iPads with (I presume) wireless printing
  • Phil himself obviously owns a printer-ready PC
  • the local library is always open
  • who the fuck in a queue for luxury soap can't wait a few days? Which two (max) people would be seriously inconvenienced by this and cancel their orders in the meantime?
It was such a strange event. Beyond Phil being painfully pussywhipped, I have to assume she took him aside and fed his own line back to him: "You know waffle, a day I don't work is a day I don't make money." And he believed that dumb shit, because his own self-perception as a serious adult businessman means that's how he's supposed to see things.

It sounds to me like she memed a new PC out of him the same way he memed $10,000 in "back tax" money out of his viewers.

This guy was never into gaming PC building. They're easy to get a decent rig for - my current build is only 4 years old but it was a bundle package with an NVidia GTX 960 card, plenty of memory, a high-end motherboard, etc. all the works for a powerful rig for gaming (as well as code compiling). Only cost me under a grand - the peripherals are also all high end (Razer mouse and keyboard, Hyper X VOIP headset, HP 25vx monitor) and cost under $300 total as well since I got them all during sales. Granted, I salvaged an old Wi-Fi adapter from years back that somehow had a Win 10 driver, but since Phil has a business level internet he could just shove a hardline cable in.

I bet the real truth of it all is that he's a lazy fuck even if he knew how to throw together a machine (meaning this prick actually is inferior to The Golden Knight considering that motherfucker was A+ certified, even if he couldn't figure out that the most expensive components known to man kind weren't going to make a machine that could fix his shit internet connection), because for a proper gaming battlestation, you need to set space aside. A desk, cables, proximity to outlets, etc. And then you have to install everything like the OS and the drivers. Actual thought and planning put into it, even if you just shove it all into a corner.

His reasoning for this is that the parts have changed since he "built" gaming PCs but anybody that is still familiar with technology knows this is a load.

A motherboard is still a motherboard. You put in a CPU the same way. You put in the memory the same way. You put in the expansion cards the same way. Yes, everything is PCI now but that shouldn't be an issue. A hard drive is still a hard drive be it a HDD or an SSD. Hell, they have some that are even PCI based that look pretty sweet. The only real difference is the connectors but they work in the exact same way. If anything, it's easier today than it was 10 or 20 years ago.

No. Phil is just lying his ass off as usual.

also im pretty sure his computer is "fine" people stream on high quality with worse computers than his and iirc several have even told him how to do it, he just, cannot be bothered.

Which just goes to show I don't think he's ever seen the inside of a computer - it's literally all just plug part A through cable B into part C. It's been nearly two decades since I dropped a 567 gb memory expansion card into a Dell Inspiron 4400 to play City of Heroes, it was absolutely no different when dropping in the four 1GB memory cards into a Gigabyte Z1 Motherboard.

Like, unless he was building computers before he was even born when all you had were Apple IIs, then the way consumer computers are built has not changed. There's even guides and shit online. Truly a lazy, lazy man.

Well... the parts and things have changed quite significantly. Graphics cards in AGP days didn't really require extra power cables or massive PSU considerations.

But I also don't remember cpu-coolers coming with preapplied paste either, so even though things are quite different the level of documentation is much better. If anything its a lot more easy nowadays.

Besides almost any PC store will build you a PC for fuck all money (if you're buying the parts from them) or failing that just ask a friend to build one for you (I've built plenty of PCs for friends for no money at all). But I guess you have to have friends for that to be an option.

Even as recently as three years ago, DSP could actually give a shout out to someone who did something right for him. I certainly haven't seen anything like that lately from Goutlord.

Is DSP getting worse?

I usually get a barebones where they install the board, CPU, memory and video basically for free and it costs about what buying the parts separately would cost. It saves that annoying phase where you find out you have the wrong PSU, the screws on the board don't line up with the ones on the case, and that kind of nonsense.

There are tons of vendors who will do this to your specifications and it's basically guaranteed at least to turn on when you get it.
 
So Lady Gout is officially moving in in a week. Has he even said anything about her other than "she might do some cooking videos for me dood"? Back when he first revealed her existence, he talked about how she's his soulmate and the love of his life. Did that change? Already trouble in paradise?

I still assume she's as real as wrasslin' is until Philly Cheapskate puts up more than a single set of photos of her from the back and zoomed in. He's lied through his fat mouth before on women when he had none.

A GPU is still a GPU even if it requires a power cable. All that really means is you need to make sure your power supply has the necessary leads and if not can you tap another one like turn a couple 4-pin Molex plugs into an 8pin PCI-X? It's possible to do and you don't need a modular PSU to get it done either although I would recommend getting one because honestly why have more cables than you actually need? Restricting airflow is bad unless you want to go for water cooling which of course is a thing.

But I also don't remember cpu-coolers coming with preapplied paste either, so even though things are quite different the level of documentation is much better. If anything its a lot more easy nowadays.

The boxed ones always did where you'd get the CPU and the stock cooler. I remember the 90's and it was all using "arctic silver" for your thermal paste and using shims on AMD chips so that the fan rested over the entire thing and not just the slug so when you overclocked it, it didn't explode on you. Heat pipes were still a couple years away, water cooling was the big thing but all the kits were DIY which led to a lot of leaks, a lot of pissed off nerds and even talks of using freon.

Nowadays even Intel is all about overclocking your CPU and not having a problem with it.
 
This is a man that didn't know what an AC power lead for a nintendo switch was for and didn't know micro SD is a perfectly fine digital storage medium in 2017 - Present.
