when you're building a new pc 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 we talking about so thanks for watching guys if you
