guys we're down in los angeles sponsored by micro center and this is the most fun
i've had doing a video in quite some time on the surface the challenge is
very simple build a super fast gaming rig with Intel's brand new core i9 9900
ks five gigahertz eight core processor
i could do that in my sleep they have everything here diy systems pre-builds
audio networking stem gaming gear every cable you can imagine
i even found this dummy's guide to office xp
but there's a small problem i have to
sell the computer that i build today
the store closes in 6 hours and 15 minutes
and i haven't even started yet we better
get to it
all right so item one is obviously our 9900 ks processor but because this
technically hasn't launched yet we're going to keep it inside his box as
we continue to shop i was pretty impressed with the last
ASUS case that i checked out let's go with a tough gaming gt501
boom i'd love to go full custom water cooling
but i really don't think we have enough time so we're gonna settle for an h150i pro
RGB settle
seeing all the options they have here though really does make me want to go
custom i was eavesdropping on someone earlier and i heard one of the sales
reps talking about their own custom loop at home and advising someone like how to
build it and i tell you i would have given anything for a single sales rep in
our company that knowledgeable back when i was the water cooling pm at ncix
do we go formula or hero i mean micro center's footing the bill
but then we don't really need the integrated custom water cooling stuff
let's go with this one
time for some RGB
we're not going to be able to sell a system without RGB
man the temptation there is to go two terabyte but you know what
i think we're gonna go 970 evo plus one terabyte
and then we're gonna throw in a hard drive for our steam library
i'm having fun today i'm just not even looking at the price tags
technically i do have a price limit on this but i was like well you know if
it's like a really great video you know can we push it a bit and they're like i
guess i'll take that as a yes let's go with the supernova 850 g3 look at that it's
got a nice little spot for it there that's your power supply shelf all right
got a fully featured shopping cart here
there's so many options and yet
only one true choice g skill trident z
royal if you're gonna do a flashy build
make it flashy okay so now it's graphics card time but
we're presented with a difficult choice there's two 20 80 ti stricts on the
shelf now if there was only one then obviously i would just get one but let
me just see how's our budget doing here
i think we can fit two we're gonna need a bigger power supply
sorry 850 g3 you were probably good enough but
we're stepping up
and an envy link sli bridge
all right here we are it's all wrung up ladies and gentlemen
look at this receipt and by the way
did we ever nail it after taxes
5062 dollars and 52 cents and that's
with nod 32 gamer antivirus and our copy of
Windows 10. let's build a machine shall we
all right so let's get everything we need loaded up
here RAM NVMe SSD
secret sauce
i gotta say man they have an awesome tech room here this place is absolutely
incredible i've complained before about how america gets all the cool stuff but
they have 25 of these micro center locations and i don't think in the
entire country we have a single store that is anything like this here we go
core i9 special edition
this is as fast as it gets in Intel's lineup five gigahertz all-core turbo
so funny story i have never actually opened one of these because
all my chips are engineering samples and they don't come in a cool package
so that explains it the s is for special man i can't believe we're building this
right now this is without any asterisks
the fastest gaming machine you can build out of off-the-shelf parts okay one
asterisk i guess you could put higher speed memory in it or something like that small differences though okay
minor minor things imagine you broke it
i gotta say after the latest reliability data from puget systems there's not much
to tempt me to other SSD manufacturers
it's time for david's favorite RAM my camera guy is not a fan of the tried
and zero but you know what
peel tasmic
all right so that's pretty good we can put that aside grab our case
so down here at the bottom that's where we're gonna put our hard drive we might
as well just get that out of the way right now we went with a six terabyte barracuda
because that was the closest thing to me on the shelf
look i don't make the rules the hard drive's hard drive baby all right now i
suspect they go in this way and
the holes do not line up so let's try the other way and now they
do now it's time for our power supply
all right there it is 140 mil fan modular interface nice short
unit this case is raised nice and high off the table or the floor or wherever
it gets put and it's got a nice little filtered intake down here so i'm gonna
go ahead i'm gonna put my fan down so it's drawing nice fresh air from
the outside and then exhausting it right out the back of the case i gotta say one
thing that kind of sucks about doing a build for an actual customer for a
change is that i can't cheap out and just put in like half of the screws
radiator time ladies and gentlemen we're going for a pull configuration
that way our RGB fans will be visible from inside our window the front of the
case is solid anyway so there was no point having it show there the wiring at
the back is going to be pretty messy regardless i think
this is not really a normal build order for me going from it looking very very
incomplete to nine screws later and the system looks
almost done because i had left the motherboard out for so long so now
we can wire some shiz up here there's our pci express ah
SATA for our hard drive man there is a lot of friggin wiring
there it is in the handful of games that support it
this rig is going to have more graphics horsepower than
any other and
a one and GPU
number two okay
so the time is now 20 after five
which means we've only got three and a half hours to sell this thing but
there's no way that i cannot do at least a little bit of cable management back
here so we're gonna do that up now
we're really up against our time limit here all right
we're calling that good enough
i hear water moving i see RGB
i want to see a post though yeah okay where's my delete
okay there it is everything showing up as expected
now all we need to do is get Windows installed okay so now that the system works one of
the techs here is getting all the drivers loaded and software installed and all that good stuff so we're going
to scout out our best location to plant
the system so one option would be to throw it right in between a couple of micro center zone
power spec lineup of uh gaming machines like maybe like kind of here
another option would be to set it up right here
in the entrance so that anyone who walks in the door
it's the first thing they see one cool idea we had was to set it up with the
printers and kind of like ancient technology land
before we can put it out on the floor though we need to set a price now
our cost on the system before taxes is around 4 600 but
we don't have a lot of time to sell this thing so
thinking we make ourselves up uh our very own price tag here
we go like uh
you know what we're in a pretty big hurry
how about that thing is i don't want the first person
who walks up to this thing to have it stand out to them and for them to go oh
there we go i want this to be a reward for the observant shopper
fortunately our boy cody who's been helping us out with the video today has
got us covered check this out super
professional got all our specs in here that says k
long story it doesn't exist in their system yet don't worry about it oh what
the apparently it includes a picture with me
but anyway we still do have a small problem in here that
is not very convincing like if i do well i don't know we can try but the
spacing's kind of funny fortunately we have an idea if we take some duplicate
price tags and cut out the letters and repaste them maybe we can get it looking
a plus professional here need some scissors it's time for arts and crafts
now unfortunately for my arts and crafts endeavor here they didn't have any glue
sticks on hand so we're going to
just kind of use some clear tape to cover up that nine
then we're gonna move our nine right there
i am having too much fun this has been a blast
1999. that looks pretty good it does look pretty good there it is
yeah that seems like a good price we run into a snag remember how i said
their system couldn't process our imaginary sku well they have no way to
sell it but that's okay because we are going to make
our very own store
okay so we gave the system to cody and he's heading back to the pre-built
systems area to set it up but there have been a handful of people coming into the
micro center who have like recognized me and wondered what we're doing here so
i'm like trying to lose them you know trying to get them off my tail
okay we made it all the way to the dead memes
aisle and i don't think we've been followed
okay so cody just put the price tag on
and now we play the waiting game
i'm gonna be trying to keep an eye on it from afar
all without catching any customers on my camera here unfortunately we're here on
a monday evening which is not exactly
their busiest time
you've got to be kidding me there's two girls down there that walked
past it looked right at it and then it looked like they were going
to do another lap fly by again didn't go for it
wait a minute they are oh we're just supposed to
i think she's figured it out but you should probably go in there
it's a pretty weird deal that it's 20. yeah i thought i was reading that wrong
what do you think i think it's pretty weird would you guys like me to fill you in on
what's going on not sure my name's Linus hi nice to meet you i'm sydney i'm a
youtuber and i built this system earlier today it
is worth about five thousand us dollars
retail are you selling it for 20
i'm just trying to buy a present for my birthday and my brother's birthday
your brother is getting just about the
fallenest computer that money can buy
okay cool can i hug you
sure thank you what the heck
you know how long we were standing there waiting for someone to just
wander by and look just a little bit closely at this thing
well because i was like oh that can't be right and then i was looking i was like
oh everything else is like three thousand dollars i was rooting for you
guys because because i was i was over there i was
like there's these two girls they did a flyby and i saw them look at it i saw
them look at it and then they just left and then i
thought you guys came around this way and then i thought you were going to loop back around and do the double take
but then i was like no i'm so disappointed they left and i said
wait they're coming back oh my god so it's like oh well like that's obviously
wrong and i don't feel like asking someone about it don't feel like asking a stupid
question
so what's your brother gonna use the computer for uh just gaming as far as i
know oh shoot that's really awkward because this is not for gaming at all
don't worry i'm totally
i can't do that it looks like i gotta go home
so sorry no no this is this is hands down the fastest gaming machine money
can buy right now oh my god period
can't believe my brother's gonna love me
so micro center actually sponsored this video today is there a reason that you
chose to walk into micro center this morning out of all the computer stores
you could go to we just honestly like looked it up and i was like this place
looks cool and then we went there and it turned out to be like the best
decision ever does your brother know how to build his
own computer or was he expecting like a pre-built one no i honestly i don't
really know he is like very familiar with computers though he's like working on building his
own i think cool he won't have to anymore so do you want to sound like a
super knowledgeable older sister that's like laying down okay so i'll i'll show you a
couple of things you can show them about so come on come on over here so you got
to tell them that this is a triple fan liquid cooling system
tell them you made sure you got a k series unlocked processor okay series
here i'm just going to dictate to it i wasn't sure whether to get a single
graphics card or two running in sli
because i know that not all games scale great with multiple gpus
totally yeah yeah totally of course i know ventilation is extremely important
for gaming systems so i chose an ASUS tough series case
and it's got carrying handles as an extra bonus all right so there you go
you will sound like you absolutely know what's up with this thing um are you
guys ready with all the boxes and stuff we can go ahead and okay i'm gonna get this uh
i got my very own till today hi
so that'll be uh 20 ladies yeah it checks out
do you guys accept cars oh lordy i mean i knew this was gonna happen
wait let's see i might no i don't think i do how close can you get
five ten
seems seems real i don't know that's all it all looks the same to me
14 15. we got
15. just for you guys i can do a five dollar discount okay oh my god the deals
just keep on coming all right congratulations so much oh my god this
is incredible yeah all right so congratulations sydney
um massive thank you to micro center for uh
sponsoring this video uh you are taking home an unbelievable gaming machine for
your brother and hopefully a little bit of cash to spend on yourself now for
doing being such a great older sister and i
am gonna go treat myself to some carl's jr
