The video is a two-year anniversary episode of the show "Broke Versus Pro," where the hosts, Ken and Austin, challenge each other to build gaming PCs within a budget. Austin aims to build the cheapest PC possible, while Ken opts for a more expensive setup. The challenge is to determine who can build the best PC in terms of price-to-performance ratio and creativity.
Austin starts by purchasing a used computer from Craigslist, which he plans to modify and paint. He also buys a high-quality keyboard and a clean mouse. Austin's PC includes a Ryzen 7 5800x, a B550 Aorus Pro motherboard, and an RTX 3070 graphics card. He also buys a 2199 SSD and Ll-120s RAM.
Ken, on the other hand, starts by purchasing a new computer from Micro Center. He buys a Ryzen 7 5800x, a B550 Aorus Pro motherboard, and an RTX 3070 graphics card. He also buys a 2199 SSD and Ll-120s RAM.
Both PCs are then tested using the 3D Mark Time Spy benchmark, which measures graphics performance, gaming performance, and CPU performance. The benchmark score is divided by the cost of the system to determine the price-to-performance score.
In the end, Austin's PC wins the price-to-performance category, but Ken's PC wins the aesthetic category. Austin is declared the winner of the "Broke Versus Pro" challenge.
