Hello everyone and welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today we're taking a look at the question I have been asking myself for years now...Can you actually order those cheap PC Parts from China...and Will they actually work. So join me today as we go down the rabbithole of Ali-Express PC parts where we find out 1. Do They Work and 2. Are they any good?...So Enjoy!
Just as a side note I got all of these parts during one of those "Choice" sales which will be your best bet if you want to do something similar. You seem to get a reduced price on parts, and then a discount applied when they are added to your basket. If not this might cost you a couple of £ more per part...But hey its not exactly like these parts are "sought after".

The USB Ports are dead slow...But does the M2 Slot Work? - 15:14
The Benchmarks? - 16:36
How does it hold up? - 21:30
