saying that I should actually do it and make a video about it so here we are but I threw a bit of a challenge at the Linus Tech tips Community Forum I asked them to configure the best allaround system for under $1,700 let's see who won why and how it performs mop is featuring the minivan custom keyboard which comes in a 40% form factor with various customization options check it out and other drops in the video description down below through browsing all the submissions I noticed Trends components that seem to Define this price category or even certain specs that I would just gravitate towards personally I left the contest fairly open-ended and let the community show me what they could do then after skimming all of the submissions I made a list of things that I found to be requirements and started judging in my opinion the best most well-rounded can doit all computer was configured by someone with one of the greatest names I have ever read Herman mcus but there is more to this man than just his name and we'll start with the processor that they shows the 6700k I liked the inclusion of an i7 for tasks like streaming or video editing or anything else that can take advantage of the additional threads this was largely a 6600k versus 6700k showdown in terms of processor and being able to squeeze in the i7 was great I appreciated the inclusion of a 240 mm all-in-one water cooler but this wasn't a requirement I found that anyone with the like hyper 212 Evo level cooler and up received a pass in this category the motherboard wasn't anything to necessarily phone home about but the features are solid with an overclocking ready chipset USB type-c connector on the back and all the other basic necessities someone is likely to desire nothing too special but not overly lacking either much like the 16 GB of gskill rip jaw V series memory the capacity of which I saw as a baseline for this build as it's easy to fit in the budget and gives you expansion room by only using two of your expected four RAM slots moving on to storage is where some of the more aggressive requirements started to show up people with ssds that were under about 240 GB or a hard drive that was under about 2 terabytes were knocked off almost immediately at this price point you shouldn't be making major compromises in any category luckily for Herman mcis he met both of these requirements right on the line for graphics card it was a battle of the GTX 1070 versus 1080 this this price point was a little high for an rx480 and the GTX 1060 but I did find that people who pushed for the 1080 fell short in some other category and as the 1070 is an extremely powerful card he got a pass the case is solid enough and Carries through the white and black theme that has been maintained thus far the power supply has more than enough wattage to power everything an 80 plus gold efficiency rating and should be built well enough in order to not light everything on fire higher so that's a plus the monitor he chose is 1440p which is a great resolution pairing for the GTX 1070 it has a beautiful IPS panel and a 4 millisecond delay meaning it's not exactly going to be the fastest gaming monitor out there but can do the job as long as you're not trying to go MLG pro or some crap like that the course a Vengeance K65 compact 10 keyless keyboard is a solid Choice especially at that price point and the Logitech g302 paired with that gives you a great great combined hands-on experience for your PC so how does it perform it destroys gaming benchmarks at 1440p nothing below 60 FPS average and all of the games were heavy hitting titles including the newer Tomb Raider Crisis 3 and Hitman and all of them were maxed freaking settings 1440p very high Ultra all that fun stuff no compromises here
