what do you use as your guiding principle for the build do you just kind of grab parts that have similar looking boxes or do you find like one part that you like like say for example this gtx 1080 ti right here and then build everything else around that no most people start with some kind of a use case or an application like i want to build a workstation pc or a video editing one or i mean this is probably the most common one for our viewers what kind of computer do i need to play poorly optimized but super trendy new game du jour on high settings that's why nzxt reached out to us to sponsor a showcase of their new let's bold configuration tool which we used to order this puppy right here so let's see how well that worked out for us okay so the best way to describe how i built this computer is going to be to actually just show you so i'm gonna go to letsbuild.com and begin by hitting the big start button boop now we're looking at 21 popular pc games across loads of different genres including FPS open world real time strategy and of course battle royale so the idea here is that you pick either the exact game or games or type of games you want to play you select your monitor's resolution your approximate budget we entered fifteen hundred dollars and then you choose AMD or Intel so check this out we've got a ryzen based pc built around our price point and right here an estimation of the number of FPS that this system should reliably get in our selected games and nzxt is actually guaranteeing these approximations to within 10 of what you're actually going to see once you're up and running of course though we wanted to test that so we hooked our machine up which with the one page instructions and corresponding stickers on the i o plate means literally anyone can do and downloaded fortnite which like lots of people was the one and only game that we cared to optimize our 1500 gaming machine for according to the site we're supposed to get around 98 FPS playing at 1080p with the game's highest settings epic and right out of the gate quite frankly it looks like nzxt has pretty much broken their promise because we're seeing as high as a 130 140 150 frames per second that's looking not bad i don't know what's my squad doing haha they're all talking oh good luck you guys like what kind of towns are these where like literally every building is full of like guns and stuff my partner is apparently still alive somehow oh there's more guys i think there's going to be oh they're shooting at me oh i'm going to die okay i did 50 damage and then i died time to go off the edge goodbye cool world so my team placed 11th that's pretty cool after a few rounds by the way we did end up with an average of 106 FPS once we accounted for all the dips and loading screens and whatever else so that is within 10 and if this was the end of the video that would still be pretty cool and this would be a neat tool but it actually gives you way more control than just the three broad build outs you can step up or down through more granular price points and see how the FPS is affected in real time or if you want to tweak your components yourself like changing your case or getting more RAM then you can do that too so then you have all the information you need you can just close the nzxt tab and head over to newegg.com and order all the parts right well they don't actually want you doing that and there are a couple of good reasons not to starting with pricing so looking at the complete price breakdown they give you something that you won't necessarily get if you buy a regular pre-built machine from best buy for example so you can see that you're getting all of the individual parts at msrp which is not a guarantee across the board especially for gpus like the gtx 1070 that's here in our build and second okay yes there's a 99 additional cost in there but that's not just like some weird made up fee they actually give you a unified warranty on all of the parts and labor for two years and they haul but to ship your order out within 48 hours best of all they actually build it for you with by the way some pretty darn nice cable management even in the parts you don't see so then if you're looking for that diy control but you don't actually want to or don't know how to build it yourself nzxt's let's build tool is one of the easiest ways to order a computer out there so thanks to nzxt for sponsoring this video keep on building cool tools for pc gamers see what i did there that's bold humor and i like my man like i like my font bold wait what are
