after a recent video buying out a small Tech Shop many of you asked us what
exactly was the plan I haven't actually seen everything in one place yeah oh my
God the truth is we don't know is it the
two tables oh yeah there's so much more
than I thought kind of seemed like a good idea at the time and hey if it gave
a small business owner a fresh start so much the better but as good as all of
that felt we're still stuck with this giant pile V crap and I'll be Dam if I'm
not going to get some more videos out of it so it's time to improvise here's the
plan you me and a 2hour time limit who
can build the best complete gaming setup
to play crisis okay but there's a catch we can
only pick one component at a time no full barebone systems which means if you
want to go for the best CPU you might be giving up the best GPU ready go flexi
spot there's C7 premium ergonomic chair supports your lower back whether you're
leaning forward back or all the way back
you guys know what I'm talking about stay around till the end of this video to learn more adding to the challenge
Jordan and I have to decide ahead of time what order we're going to choose
our components in and I got to say these are some tough choices first pick audio
audio I want those speakers did you pay for these speakers
on us that's not the point
the point is I am going to have 5.1 THX
surround definitely the best way to enjoy crisis I really hope we actually
did get all the speakers I don't see one of them you bastard no I saw
that my precious well I don't know about
Jordan's but my setup it's all coming together I've got
an i57400 at uh 3 GHz
ready so
practical I need me a sick gaming tower
I actually think leaving the case until later is a big tactical error my way I
can build as I go oh that's smart I'm
tempted to get the one in know works but there's got to be something better than Acer built-in piece of crap 5 minutes
gone oh are you serious right now is this case part of it I just got the
thumbs up this is my case oh yes oh that
was a big score be quiet! tower case
tempered glass side panel I've got two RGB fans already five RGB fans already
sick motherboard's kind of a pain in the ass um good the better to get ahead of
you with my dear yep I'm getting a little worried about core components
here yeah but that's a problem for another time for me monitor flare one
let's go I might have missed some cases
these are brand new
o now that's a monitor with Flare does a
mining rig count as flare I think we got to go with Buzz
here oh you piece of crap I want
Buzz G for earlier flare snooze you lose
buddy go PSU in case it's going to be a boring
round yeah why did I even take power supplies so early there's so many good
power supplies there's an rm850 here from Corsair there's an 850 GT from EVGA
that seems to be new in box should have taken power supply last about that one
oh that's a 750 o it's a 750f but it has
RGB I'm going to take this 850 GT I don't want to fall behind in my pcks
here oh nice
choice I was hoping he wouldn't notice those all right well good luck lonus
cpun cooler power supply and I just went through and showed him all the good
Power Supplies thanks thanks for that whose team am I on I mean it matches my
case oh we needed this like weeks ago for that wood
PC I mean he did keep telling us people need this stuff people need this stuff
all the time mining will have a bad CPU right oh yeah that mining rig is going
to have whatever the lowest end CPU that fits in that socket is I'm probably
better off with this ancient Dell whatever it is maybe just maybe this
mining rig wasn't configured correctly and the CPU in here is
decent i56500
wa that's way better than I thought would be I will take it I expected a
Pentium dual core or something what a relief I'm not going to be just
completely left in the dust for performance here well I mean if you're
done that pick we we can do the next pick flare one flare two he's got double
as much flare as me we know how to hack him MacBook password
uh I mean that sounds pretty flare to me if you can pull it off all right flare
the G4 Cube I consider this flare if I'm
not going to do anything with it it's flare right I took a Macbook yeah this
matches the aesthetic there
flare I'm starting to really question my life choices here am I going to find an
RGB controller what does RGB even mean can I just take as much RGB as I can
find like well RGB LED strip kit $49.99
and a couple of VGA extension cables I'm happy my turn for RAM go the GPU wait
did you take this RAM over here wait am I even going to find any RAM I found
three pieces of ddr4 that I'm using you get three pieces my border will take
four I was being generous what the crap
uh-oh oh no no no no this is
ddr4 Jordan I swear to God if you took all the
ddr4 I literally just had my hand hands on some over here somewhere so you
should be okay you claim there's loose ddr4 I saw some a minute ago he saw some
a minute wait I get one stick we can make a deal
later mobo I guess I already have a motherboard how'd you get a motherboard
yeah I just forgot to take the CPU off it you had already picked yours anyway
all right fair enough okay so then next pick flare two mous rear speaker
surround stand woo these can just sit on
here that's nothing a little bit of zip tie magic won't fix how far behind are
you Jordan next pick I got two to got pick yet GPU monitor yeah okay so let's
just Speed Run I need flare a mouse and a monitor think you might have locked
out L us uh you knew that there was 380
TI I don't think there are 380 TI he sell you 380 TI I think he thought he
was selling me a 380 TI I don't think there's a 380 TI in
here there might be a 2080 or a 2080 TI
though in which case that's probably
fine you know there's another 3080 heck
yeah let's go now because I have a flare
pick earlier than him can I take that as flare no oh here's a really great monitor that
if you chose it would clear space for these gpus I'm good I don't even I don't
even get a sideways glance for that do we have trust problems in our
relationship Jordan believe me that can be your audio too Jordan Dual Purpose
baby you got the boom box dang it and
got an imice t98 okay well whatever I
got a 3080 so I'll take a TV oh I didn't
even see that oh shoot my eyes are getting old keyboard flare you're going
you're going to get all the good flare d right I picked keyboard before him so I
get a better keyboard assuming I can find a decent keyboard in this pile of
garbage hey mechanical keyboard grinning
I'm grinning I can't tell if that's what that says but this kind of matches my
aesthetic too though tablet keyboard for Android 3
plus oh balls oh you got a mouse pad wait and
you didn't pick the big RGB one yeah that one's filthy that's
fair I'm taking the mechanical keyboard holy crap we only have an hour 15
printer wait printer this is going to be a boring round I'm going to get the best
printer I don't know if I wrote down printer best one I'll take all the
cables I think that's going to be extremely
challenging go with the compact laser multifunction Center
ooh or the Pixma MX452 this one can facts and everything
it's tested and working why did I even think it was a good idea to pick the
printer this early color laser there I'm
going to take that Lex Mark enjoy your crappy cables I have this printer yeah
yeah you walk away God this is heavy
what the hell Twan lip it weighs 50 lbs
did you buy HDMI cables by any chance sir I bought all the HDMI cables if you
can't find them that's on you well zero could still be all wait I don't uh I
don't actually see the cables is this part of my Mac G4 flare I think so I
think so Jordan this is part of my G4 flare right yeah okay
storageboard neither of us has managed to pick the same thing at the same time
even once I'll take this mx500 SATA
m.2 there's an m.2 in here got him okay
next pick oh God damn it flare
audio good luck with your audio I got the best
a next no cuz you haven't keyboard yet
yeah get out of here this guy what is this oh god oh
cool you took all the good flare and we
go for the memes I think I might have to go with the inbox Starbuck oh actually
wait no there's other good options how about the completely worthless bunny
stuffy I heard that if you can find a big enough idiot they'll pay $300 for
one of these but where you going to find somebody like
that you know what I'm taking it all right I'm calling
it I'm going with the garbage love it let's do a pick Mouse audio you already
did audio wait I did audio router that's
an odd Choice okay I don't know I couldn't tell you what I was
thinking I don't know if anyone's actually dug
through this yet I saw some EVGA mice I
want one of those hey here you go buddy found you an eup it's quality wireless
router here you're welcome I mean it's a nice box yeah what
you find nothing I want that EVGA
Mouse I don't remember where they were
though I call pick perfect timing EVGA
X17 FPS gaming mouse let's go what do
you like about that one I used to have the same thing so I know how it works
cables I'm going straight for that HDMI cable he didn't
find wait you moved it you got
it dang it no way did I actually find
what I need startech hard to find
storage either you must have added things after no DP to mini DP that's
what I need for my stupid monitor oh I'm so happy right now I
wouldn't have been happy to spend $40 on it but I'm happy I spent way more than
$40 on this external drive flare five I
mean what's the difference
okay um oh man You' think it wouldn't be that
hard to find one the flare pickings are getting pretty slim little bit have you
seen any hard drives hard drives hard drives are SSD yeah in some of the
systems oh yeah
enjoy I'll take this then feel your docking PK there docking thing in that
case I need this for it oh this is for my external drive nothing
you're luy there easy I don't need this SSD I just don't want him to have it
flare four I really need a mouse pad I
think I just have to go with a mouse pad for my flare item I call a pick oh I'm
going storage that's a really good idea I hope your motherboard supports NVMe I
hope so too I have my dose my last two
are router and flare five so I'm kind of thinking we just grab the last two and
start building all right yeah I need to get RGB still let's go we have just
under an hour my H homey tenda has got me covered for router and my last piece
of flare was hiding in plain sight yes we fix iPhone iPad iPod
overall I'm feeling pretty good about my picks here I've got a decent core system
I've got this excellent 50 lb chair I think I should get one more
stick of RAM okay not for me though you got three
what do you have let's I said you could take a dual Channel kit is a matching
kit I have one matching kit I think you should they were in a pile that's a kit
I think no no no I think yeah after the crap you pulled with the SSD wow that's
a 16 gig stick thanks for picking that one to give me this a match I'm not
allowed to have n- matching uh thermal compound oh I don't
even need thermal compound watch this I'm going to show you guys a trick yeah
I'm just going to take the thermal goop that seeped out the edges here and I'm
going to put it back in the middle no it'll be fine there we go yeah now it's
more in the middle here I can show you see look that'll spread out in 45
minutes I'm going to be crushing crisis
while I have a lot of RGB components this is a mining motherboard I would be
very surprised if it has an RGB header on it I am not surprised oh
she no it's just a hub
wait no it's just a Fan Hub I thought I
had an RGB controller bummer I stole
this from the mining rig cuz my power supply did not include a four pin what
you what do you mean it doesn't include a four pin well take a look at my cables here find me the four pin here does that
come apart yeah are you sure yeah I'm very sure it does damn it I'm blind and
I helped I want Buzz Lightyear for that that's a bit far is it
inity I like 35 minutes to turn it from
this pile into a completed setup and I can't even find the power cable for my
stupid computer I think it says 25 minutes 25 minutes how is it that little
why do we even set these arbitrary time limits on things anyway Keith said that
buddy bought this machine right at the end of the crash and didn't really get a
chance to mine on them but these look pretty
used and before you say it's probably from gaming all these plugs are still in
place I ain't never seen a card that was game on that has all these plugs in
place what are the odds this just immediately fires
up wait a second is this a monitor or an
iMac oh this is an
iMac okay well wait wait wait wait wait what happened to the Apple display that
we bought then oh there it is okay well
Jordan I'm trading it in's up it was an honest mistake you can be forgiven where
the hell is the power button on this thing man I really
do not know older Apple stuff Studio
display doesn't have any buttons and automatically turns on when you plug it
into power and connect it to your Mac or iPad you'll need to make sure your PC
has Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 then it's a matter of connecting the cables and firing up both your computer and the
studio display so it is only
Thunderbolt can I trade my monitor again dang it I've wasted so much time on this
stupid monitor just for memes a he's posted already dang it I got to play
catchup here you want to use TVs let's use TVs there's no stand don't worry
about it there's no stand see when your
monitor is this boxy you don't need a
stand oh my God no one bumped this desk oh I have some serious regrets about
this Windows we got Windows baby how do
I turn it on it's got power I can see the ja all right where's the ew pile
it's dead dead the dead is kind of dead
it's a dual monitor setup now there now it's uh I was all about productivity the
whole time it works what was that my Sound
Works you paid 600 bucks you got some power I already have Windows hey I
already got Windows installed boom sick that just saved this build did
all my RAM show up yes I have 24 GB of RAM what speed uh
2133 but but but 24 gigs of RAM and the
first 16 of it should theoretically run in dual Channel mode with only the last
8 gigs running in single Channel mode well this sucks my airu LED strip kit is
just strips and a remote there's no
actual RGB controller I think that's all the RGB I'm going to have
folks 1/8 of my desk pad and the mouse
and keyboard hey Jordan how are you getting networking uh the uh Logistics
very gave me networking what I had a whole
plan I took the only 100ft network cable
what's the resolution it's definitely not 1080p that's not amazing hey David
yeah neither is mine these are
1440p what something occurs to me I got
surround sound speakers do I have surround sound have I got a solution for
you lus wait what do you have what is this Encore electronic 7.1 Channel us
USB audio box oh it's not in there oh it
is oh it's in there somehow in our haste we left behind the speaker wire for the
left and Center channels so I may have to improvise a
little I mean the right speaker wire
doesn't need to be this long right some speed stripping right
here okay I may have a very stupid and
unexpected problem I don't have any 3 and 1 12 mm cables for direct surround
out either out of the back of the motherboard or this what do you got
you're partway there oh that's one extension thank you Jordan you're
welcome lus I need mail to mail now I know what you're thinking right now this
is a pretty sick looking setup but get this I haven't even put up my flare
yet oh yeah do these add or detract uh
they add cuz there's a face now on it's a face nice
now lonus I can't help but notice that one of our computers is running crisis
right now walking it I'll show him running
crisis keyboard find the files
yeah it's time to find out if this audio box works uh this is is there oh oh
hello okay let's just put this here uh
whoa what are the odds there's a driver for this
hey how you doing over there Jordan I got killed sorry I can't hear you oh you
want to play that
game I remember this game being
prettier but it's been a while it's running okay it's running fine yeah
system's almost ready for Showtime just going to give it a little wipe down with
the world's most expensive cleaning cloth yeah hold your your
guitar you should have gone for the speakers first it's got to be the
vibrations being passed through the case it it's not designed for that it needs
the shoulder science exactly that's how science
works this is not better that's at one
overall I like your flare I wish I could have it you see I have my buzzlightyear
MacBook stand yeah I don't think this counts as computer RGB but see RGB is a tool of
the devil so this is my concession to having to include some I see also the
board doesn't support RGB yeah mine either forgot to take the peel off your
window I'm going to have to dock marks for that I know you enjoy doing that so I left it for you no that's not what
happened on the inside you didn't notice I noticed I didn't care all right
let's see the gaming realistically you guys are going
to be the judge of who did it better does this run at 60 HZ
oh yeah oh yes oh yeah definitely and what resolution is this exactly just
about 1080p just about 1080p I had to shrink it down to fit the monitor there
no over scam
support yeah we're not going to get much of a stereo effect like
this also this display looks like crap a
little bit it clickers on oh
really how's that walking sound
is the contrast supposed to be at 100 is that the default position for this TV so
that would be the default you know what I bet it's not I bet that this is the
default let's see if let's see if that did not get better I also don't
know how to get out of the menu I'm I'm noticing this um how do I I unplugged it
and plugged it back in to get out of the menu you should have bought the remotes
what were you thinking didn't know I didn't buy them seriously
this just never closes I have no idea
right there this part of the game is still
super pretty unfortunately your setup does not do it
justice at all I think that's going to cost you with the judges well all I can
say is mine worked first he's right I
went significantly over time I just like the judges to notice how much
better my flare is it's not better that
versus but how is that betters Buzz
versus Buzz Lightyear with RGB standing on a MacBook
Pro this song is sick oh my goodness oh
man I was team buzz but I don't know
dude this one cost $600 that cost $ 300
oh you got robbed buddy in addition to my better flare
remember I have this guy who kind of
looks like a little mouth with big bug eyes okay he's right there he's watching
you game he's cute and my sound setup
Ling Shan Island we you can feel in your guts it's
slightly more intelligible also we fix iPhone iPad
iPod so that's good if you have any of those things that are broken and need
fixing you'll be really happy you came to Linus's gaming setup yeah I got worse frame rates but
I'm running at 1440p with 8X anti-aliasing this looks
sharp AF smaller screen though yeah but
you know yeah yeah yeah yeah okay little
guy one thing I will have to admit is that my six gen Core i5 is definitely
bottlenecking this 3080 a little and look at that a whopping 51 frames per
second let us know in the comments who do you think built the better system
Jordan with his Buzz Lightyear more like buzz loser year or me with my rocking
rabbit ah now now wait the cherry on
top I think this setup rocks just like our sponsor flexi spot
