00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.680
when you're building a new pc what do you use as your guiding

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:10.559
principle for the build do you just kind of grab parts that have similar looking

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:15.679
boxes or do you find like

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:19.920
one part that you like like say for example

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.320
this gtx 1080 ti right here and then

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:26.320
build everything else around that no

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:32.399
most people start with some kind of a use case or an application like

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:34.320
i want to build a workstation pc or a

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:38.320
video editing one or i mean this is probably the most common one for our

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:44.640
viewers what kind of computer do i need to play poorly optimized but super

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:46.800
trendy new game du jour on high settings

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:52.640
that's why nzxt reached out to us to sponsor a showcase of their new

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:53.760
let's bold configuration tool which we

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:59.700
used to order this puppy right here so let's

00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:08.640
see how well that worked out for us

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

00:01:13.119 --> 00:01:20.720
actually just show you so i'm gonna go to letsbuild.com

00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:22.560
and begin by hitting the big start button

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.560
boop now we're looking at 21 popular pc games

00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:30.880
across loads of different genres including FPS

00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:36.640
open world real time strategy and of course battle royale so the idea here is

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

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:44.799
you select your monitor's resolution your approximate budget we entered

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.360
fifteen hundred dollars and then you choose AMD or Intel

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:52.640
so check this out we've got a ryzen based pc built around our price point

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:58.240
and right here an estimation of the number

00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:01.040
of FPS that this system should reliably

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:05.119
get in our selected games and nzxt is actually guaranteeing these

00:02:02.320 --> 00:02:08.479
approximations to within 10 of what you're actually going to see

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:13.360
once you're up and running of course though we wanted to test that

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.840
so we hooked our machine up which with the one page instructions and

00:02:14.959 --> 00:02:21.520
corresponding stickers on the i o plate means

00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:26.560
literally anyone can do and downloaded fortnite which like lots of people was

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:31.599
the one and only game that we cared to optimize our 1500 gaming machine for

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:36.640
according to the site we're supposed to get around 98 FPS playing at 1080p with

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:40.319
the game's highest settings epic

00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:45.519
and right out of the gate quite frankly it

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:52.480
looks like nzxt has pretty much broken their promise because we're seeing as

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.879
high as a 130 140 150

00:02:52.480 --> 00:02:58.480
frames per second that's looking not bad

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:03.200
i don't know what's my squad doing haha they're all talking

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:04.720
oh good luck you guys like what kind of

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:08.720
towns are these where like literally every building is

00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:13.120
full of like guns and stuff my partner is apparently still alive

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:16.800
somehow oh there's more guys i think there's going to be oh they're

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

00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:24.560
time to go off the edge goodbye

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:28.560
cool world so my team placed 11th that's pretty

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

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:37.599
once we accounted for all the dips and loading screens and whatever else so

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:40.480
that is within 10 and if this was the end of the video

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:44.400
that would still be pretty cool and this would be a neat

00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.799
tool but it actually gives you way more control than just the three broad build

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:54.000
outs you can step up or down through more granular price points and see how

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:55.120
the FPS is affected in real time or if

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.720
you want to tweak your components yourself like changing your case or

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

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:07.640
need you can just close the nzxt tab and

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:13.360
head over to newegg.com and order all the parts right

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:17.759
well they don't actually want you doing that

00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:22.240
and there are a couple of good reasons not to starting with pricing so looking

00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:25.520
at the complete price breakdown they give you something that you won't

00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:28.479
necessarily get if you buy a regular pre-built machine from best buy for

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

00:04:33.520 --> 00:04:41.759
not a guarantee across the board especially for gpus like the gtx 1070

00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:46.560
that's here in our build and second okay yes there's a 99

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:51.440
additional cost in there but that's not just like some weird made up fee they

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:56.080
actually give you a unified warranty on all of the parts and labor for two years

00:04:54.080 --> 00:05:01.440
and they haul but to ship your order out within 48 hours best of all they

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:04.639
actually build it for you with by the way some pretty darn nice cable

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:09.039
management even in the parts you don't see so then

00:05:06.880 --> 00:05:14.240
if you're looking for that diy control but you don't actually want to

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

00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:25.120
easiest ways to order a computer out there so thanks to nzxt for sponsoring this

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.240
video keep on building cool tools for pc

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:34.720
gamers see what i did there that's bold humor

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:37.600
and i like my man like i like my font

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.759
