1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,000
guys we're down in los angeles sponsored by micro center and this is the most fun

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:10,960
i've had doing a video in quite some time on the surface the challenge is

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:18,080
very simple build a super fast gaming rig with Intel's brand new core i9 9900

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,320
ks five gigahertz eight core processor

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:25,840
i could do that in my sleep they have everything here diy systems pre-builds

6
00:00:23,439 --> 00:00:30,080
audio networking stem gaming gear every cable you can imagine

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:34,559
i even found this dummy's guide to office xp

8
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:37,760
but there's a small problem i have to

9
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:40,399
sell the computer that i build today

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:44,320
the store closes in 6 hours and 15 minutes

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,879
and i haven't even started yet we better

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,879
get to it

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:03,280
all right so item one is obviously our 9900 ks processor but because this

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:08,080
technically hasn't launched yet we're going to keep it inside his box as

15
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,600
we continue to shop i was pretty impressed with the last

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:16,560
ASUS case that i checked out let's go with a tough gaming gt501

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,400
boom i'd love to go full custom water cooling

18
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:28,000
but i really don't think we have enough time so we're gonna settle for an h150i pro

19
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,520
RGB settle

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,360
seeing all the options they have here though really does make me want to go

21
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,720
custom i was eavesdropping on someone earlier and i heard one of the sales

22
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,400
reps talking about their own custom loop at home and advising someone like how to

23
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:44,799
build it and i tell you i would have given anything for a single sales rep in

24
00:01:43,119 --> 00:01:49,600
our company that knowledgeable back when i was the water cooling pm at ncix

25
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,320
do we go formula or hero i mean micro center's footing the bill

26
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:57,360
but then we don't really need the integrated custom water cooling stuff

27
00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:57,360
let's go with this one

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,200
time for some RGB

29
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:08,399
we're not going to be able to sell a system without RGB

30
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,040
man the temptation there is to go two terabyte but you know what

31
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:15,440
i think we're gonna go 970 evo plus one terabyte

32
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:19,120
and then we're gonna throw in a hard drive for our steam library

33
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,080
i'm having fun today i'm just not even looking at the price tags

34
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:28,800
technically i do have a price limit on this but i was like well you know if

35
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:32,480
it's like a really great video you know can we push it a bit and they're like i

36
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:39,200
guess i'll take that as a yes let's go with the supernova 850 g3 look at that it's

37
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:44,800
got a nice little spot for it there that's your power supply shelf all right

38
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,160
got a fully featured shopping cart here

39
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,440
there's so many options and yet

40
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,720
only one true choice g skill trident z

41
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,440
royal if you're gonna do a flashy build

42
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:01,519
make it flashy okay so now it's graphics card time but

43
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,840
we're presented with a difficult choice there's two 20 80 ti stricts on the

44
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,760
shelf now if there was only one then obviously i would just get one but let

45
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,760
me just see how's our budget doing here

46
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,319
i think we can fit two we're gonna need a bigger power supply

47
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:29,200
sorry 850 g3 you were probably good enough but

48
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,200
we're stepping up

49
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,480
and an envy link sli bridge

50
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:41,760
all right here we are it's all wrung up ladies and gentlemen

51
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,640
look at this receipt and by the way

52
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:49,360
did we ever nail it after taxes

53
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,959
5062 dollars and 52 cents and that's

54
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:56,480
with nod 32 gamer antivirus and our copy of

55
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:01,360
Windows 10. let's build a machine shall we

56
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:04,159
all right so let's get everything we need loaded up

57
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:10,959
here RAM NVMe SSD

58
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,959
secret sauce

59
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:18,239
i gotta say man they have an awesome tech room here this place is absolutely

60
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,160
incredible i've complained before about how america gets all the cool stuff but

61
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:26,720
they have 25 of these micro center locations and i don't think in the

62
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:34,160
entire country we have a single store that is anything like this here we go

63
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,560
core i9 special edition

64
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:42,160
this is as fast as it gets in Intel's lineup five gigahertz all-core turbo

65
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:46,000
so funny story i have never actually opened one of these because

66
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,280
all my chips are engineering samples and they don't come in a cool package

67
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:59,040
so that explains it the s is for special man i can't believe we're building this

68
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,280
right now this is without any asterisks

69
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,880
the fastest gaming machine you can build out of off-the-shelf parts okay one

70
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:11,600
asterisk i guess you could put higher speed memory in it or something like that small differences though okay

71
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:16,400
minor minor things imagine you broke it

72
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:19,440
i gotta say after the latest reliability data from puget systems there's not much

73
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:23,880
to tempt me to other SSD manufacturers

74
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:32,479
it's time for david's favorite RAM my camera guy is not a fan of the tried

75
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:36,000
and zero but you know what

76
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:37,600
peel tasmic

77
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,840
all right so that's pretty good we can put that aside grab our case

78
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,639
so down here at the bottom that's where we're gonna put our hard drive we might

79
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,160
as well just get that out of the way right now we went with a six terabyte barracuda

80
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:54,320
because that was the closest thing to me on the shelf

81
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:59,440
look i don't make the rules the hard drive's hard drive baby all right now i

82
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:03,199
suspect they go in this way and

83
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:07,360
the holes do not line up so let's try the other way and now they

84
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:11,520
do now it's time for our power supply

85
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:16,560
all right there it is 140 mil fan modular interface nice short

86
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,080
unit this case is raised nice and high off the table or the floor or wherever

87
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:23,360
it gets put and it's got a nice little filtered intake down here so i'm gonna

88
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,800
go ahead i'm gonna put my fan down so it's drawing nice fresh air from

89
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,560
the outside and then exhausting it right out the back of the case i gotta say one

90
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,639
thing that kind of sucks about doing a build for an actual customer for a

91
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:38,479
change is that i can't cheap out and just put in like half of the screws

92
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,720
radiator time ladies and gentlemen we're going for a pull configuration

93
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,479
that way our RGB fans will be visible from inside our window the front of the

94
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,160
case is solid anyway so there was no point having it show there the wiring at

95
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:57,039
the back is going to be pretty messy regardless i think

96
00:06:55,039 --> 00:07:01,680
this is not really a normal build order for me going from it looking very very

97
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,199
incomplete to nine screws later and the system looks

98
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,960
almost done because i had left the motherboard out for so long so now

99
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:15,599
we can wire some shiz up here there's our pci express ah

100
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:21,520
SATA for our hard drive man there is a lot of friggin wiring

101
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:25,919
there it is in the handful of games that support it

102
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:31,120
this rig is going to have more graphics horsepower than

103
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,360
any other and

104
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:40,080
a one and GPU

105
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:44,479
number two okay

106
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,479
so the time is now 20 after five

107
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:50,960
which means we've only got three and a half hours to sell this thing but

108
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:53,840
there's no way that i cannot do at least a little bit of cable management back

109
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,919
here so we're gonna do that up now

110
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,720
we're really up against our time limit here all right

111
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:05,360
we're calling that good enough

112
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:13,120
i hear water moving i see RGB

113
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,360
i want to see a post though yeah okay where's my delete

114
00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:21,120
okay there it is everything showing up as expected

115
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:25,360
now all we need to do is get Windows installed okay so now that the system works one of

116
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:31,759
the techs here is getting all the drivers loaded and software installed and all that good stuff so we're going

117
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:32,880
to scout out our best location to plant

118
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:39,120
the system so one option would be to throw it right in between a couple of micro center zone

119
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:42,959
power spec lineup of uh gaming machines like maybe like kind of here

120
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,519
another option would be to set it up right here

121
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:50,240
in the entrance so that anyone who walks in the door

122
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:54,399
it's the first thing they see one cool idea we had was to set it up with the

123
00:08:51,839 --> 00:08:57,680
printers and kind of like ancient technology land

124
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:02,399
before we can put it out on the floor though we need to set a price now

125
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:07,040
our cost on the system before taxes is around 4 600 but

126
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:11,200
we don't have a lot of time to sell this thing so

127
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:16,480
thinking we make ourselves up uh our very own price tag here

128
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,480
we go like uh

129
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,480
you know what we're in a pretty big hurry

130
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:26,800
how about that thing is i don't want the first person

131
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,200
who walks up to this thing to have it stand out to them and for them to go oh

132
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:35,519
there we go i want this to be a reward for the observant shopper

133
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:41,200
fortunately our boy cody who's been helping us out with the video today has

134
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,560
got us covered check this out super

135
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:47,519
professional got all our specs in here that says k

136
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:51,279
long story it doesn't exist in their system yet don't worry about it oh what

137
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:55,040
the apparently it includes a picture with me

138
00:09:53,040 --> 00:10:00,000
but anyway we still do have a small problem in here that

139
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:03,360
is not very convincing like if i do well i don't know we can try but the

140
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:07,360
spacing's kind of funny fortunately we have an idea if we take some duplicate

141
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:12,160
price tags and cut out the letters and repaste them maybe we can get it looking

142
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:16,880
a plus professional here need some scissors it's time for arts and crafts

143
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,800
now unfortunately for my arts and crafts endeavor here they didn't have any glue

144
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:26,240
sticks on hand so we're going to

145
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:32,720
just kind of use some clear tape to cover up that nine

146
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,519
then we're gonna move our nine right there

147
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:38,000
i am having too much fun this has been a blast

148
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:45,560
1999. that looks pretty good it does look pretty good there it is

149
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:53,920
yeah that seems like a good price we run into a snag remember how i said

150
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:58,480
their system couldn't process our imaginary sku well they have no way to

151
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:05,320
sell it but that's okay because we are going to make

152
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,320
our very own store

153
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:30,240
okay so we gave the system to cody and he's heading back to the pre-built

154
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:34,079
systems area to set it up but there have been a handful of people coming into the

155
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:38,959
micro center who have like recognized me and wondered what we're doing here so

156
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:49,669
i'm like trying to lose them you know trying to get them off my tail

157
00:12:04,959 --> 00:12:10,079
okay we made it all the way to the dead memes

158
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:15,680
aisle and i don't think we've been followed

159
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:22,000
okay so cody just put the price tag on

160
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,600
and now we play the waiting game

161
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,440
i'm gonna be trying to keep an eye on it from afar

162
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:32,720
all without catching any customers on my camera here unfortunately we're here on

163
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:33,600
a monday evening which is not exactly

164
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,360
their busiest time

165
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,880

like there's these two girls they did a flyby and i saw them look at it i saw

187
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,480
them look at it and then they just left and then i

188
00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:21,440
thought you guys came around this way and then i thought you were going to loop back around and do the double take

189
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:26,320
but then i was like no i'm so disappointed they left and i said

190
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:29,360

191

wrong and i don't feel like asking someone about it don't feel like asking a stupid

192
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,320
question

193
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:42,959
so what's your brother gonna use the computer for uh just gaming as far as i

194
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:48,639
know oh shoot that's really awkward because this is not for gaming at all

195
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:50,320
don't worry i'm totally

196
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:55,440
i can't do that it looks like i gotta go home

197
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:59,120
so sorry no no this is this is hands down the fastest gaming machine money

198
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:04,160
can buy right now oh my god period

199
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:06,560
can't believe my brother's gonna love me

200
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:10,240
so micro center actually sponsored this video today is there a reason that you

201
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,839
chose to walk into micro center this morning out of all the computer stores

202
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:18,079
you could go to we just honestly like looked it up and i was like this place

203
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:21,360
looks cool and then we went there and it turned out to be like the best

204
00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:24,560
decision ever does your brother know how to build his

205
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,639
own computer or was he expecting like a pre-built one no i honestly i don't

206
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:33,600
really know he is like very familiar with computers though he's like working on building his

207
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,680
own i think cool he won't have to anymore so do you want to sound like a

208
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:42,480
super knowledgeable older sister that's like laying down okay so i'll i'll show you a

209
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,639
couple of things you can show them about so come on come on over here so you got

210
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:51,839
to tell them that this is a triple fan liquid cooling system

211
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:57,199
tell them you made sure you got a k series unlocked processor okay series

212
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:04,399
here i'm just going to dictate to it i wasn't sure whether to get a single

213
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:06,959
graphics card or two running in sli

214
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:11,839
because i know that not all games scale great with multiple gpus

215
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:16,079
totally yeah yeah totally of course i know ventilation is extremely important

216
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:20,959
for gaming systems so i chose an ASUS tough series case

217
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:25,120
and it's got carrying handles as an extra bonus all right so there you go

218
