00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,680
when you're building a new pc what do you use as your guiding

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:10,559
principle for the build do you just kind of grab parts that have similar looking

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,679
boxes or do you find like

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,920
one part that you like like say for example

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,320
this gtx 1080 ti right here and then

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,320
build everything else around that no

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:32,399
most people start with some kind of a use case or an application like

8
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:34,320
i want to build a workstation pc or a

9
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:38,320
video editing one or i mean this is probably the most common one for our

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:44,640
viewers what kind of computer do i need to play poorly optimized but super

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,800
trendy new game du jour on high settings

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:52,640
that's why nzxt reached out to us to sponsor a showcase of their new

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,760
let's bold configuration tool which we

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,700
used to order this puppy right here so let's

15
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:08,640
see how well that worked out for us

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:16,080
okay so the best way to describe how i built this computer is going to be to

17
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:20,720
actually just show you so i'm gonna go to letsbuild.com

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,560
and begin by hitting the big start button

19
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,560
boop now we're looking at 21 popular pc games

20
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,880
across loads of different genres including FPS

21
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:36,640
open world real time strategy and of course battle royale so the idea here is

22
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:41,280
that you pick either the exact game or games or type of games you want to play

23
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,799
you select your monitor's resolution your approximate budget we entered

24
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,360
fifteen hundred dollars and then you choose AMD or Intel

25
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,640
so check this out we've got a ryzen based pc built around our price point

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,240
and right here an estimation of the number

27
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,040
of FPS that this system should reliably

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,119
get in our selected games and nzxt is actually guaranteeing these

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,479
approximations to within 10 of what you're actually going to see

30
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,360
once you're up and running of course though we wanted to test that

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,840
so we hooked our machine up which with the one page instructions and

32
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:21,520
corresponding stickers on the i o plate means

33
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:26,560
literally anyone can do and downloaded fortnite which like lots of people was

34
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,599
the one and only game that we cared to optimize our 1500 gaming machine for

35
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,640
according to the site we're supposed to get around 98 FPS playing at 1080p with

36
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,319
the game's highest settings epic

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:45,519
and right out of the gate quite frankly it

38
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:52,480
looks like nzxt has pretty much broken their promise because we're seeing as

39
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,879
high as a 130 140 150

40
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:58,480
frames per second that's looking not bad

41
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:03,200
i don't know what's my squad doing haha they're all talking

42
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,720
oh good luck you guys like what kind of

43
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,720
towns are these where like literally every building is

44
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:13,120
full of like guns and stuff my partner is apparently still alive

45
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,800
somehow oh there's more guys i think there's going to be oh they're

46
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:21,760
shooting at me oh i'm going to die okay i did 50 damage and then i died

47
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,560
time to go off the edge goodbye

48
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,560
cool world so my team placed 11th that's pretty

49
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,360
cool after a few rounds by the way we did end up with an average of 106 FPS

50
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,599
once we accounted for all the dips and loading screens and whatever else so

51
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,480
that is within 10 and if this was the end of the video

52
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:44,400
that would still be pretty cool and this would be a neat

53
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,799
tool but it actually gives you way more control than just the three broad build

54
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:54,000
outs you can step up or down through more granular price points and see how

55
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:55,120
the FPS is affected in real time or if

56
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,720
you want to tweak your components yourself like changing your case or

57
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:06,000
getting more RAM then you can do that too so then you have all the information you

58
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,640
need you can just close the nzxt tab and

59
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:13,360
head over to newegg.com and order all the parts right

60
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:17,759
well they don't actually want you doing that

61
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:22,240
and there are a couple of good reasons not to starting with pricing so looking

62
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,520
at the complete price breakdown they give you something that you won't

63
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,479
necessarily get if you buy a regular pre-built machine from best buy for

64
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:35,360
example so you can see that you're getting all of the individual parts at msrp which is

65
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:41,759
not a guarantee across the board especially for gpus like the gtx 1070

66
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:46,560
that's here in our build and second okay yes there's a 99

67
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:51,440
additional cost in there but that's not just like some weird made up fee they

68
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:56,080
actually give you a unified warranty on all of the parts and labor for two years

69
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:01,440
and they haul but to ship your order out within 48 hours best of all they

70
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,639
actually build it for you with by the way some pretty darn nice cable

71
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:09,039
management even in the parts you don't see so then

72
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:14,240
if you're looking for that diy control but you don't actually want to

73
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:18,639
or don't know how to build it yourself nzxt's let's build tool is one of the

74
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:25,120
easiest ways to order a computer out there so thanks to nzxt for sponsoring this

75
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,240
video keep on building cool tools for pc

76
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:34,720
gamers see what i did there that's bold humor

77
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:37,600
and i like my man like i like my font

78
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,759
