00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:08.440
so in my review of the 6950x it was observed that with the $1,700 price tag

00:00:05.720 --> 00:00:13.519
you could probably build a pretty wicked computer the whole thing for less than

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:17.800
just the price of a singular processor and have money for great peripherals I

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:22.640
had a few people tweet me saying that I should actually do it and make a video

00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:27.359
about it so here we are but I threw a bit of a challenge at the Linus Tech

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:30.679
tips Community Forum I asked them to configure the best allaround system for

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:39.750
under $1,700 let's see who won why and how it

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:49.079
performs mop is featuring the minivan custom keyboard which comes in a 40%

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:53.280
form factor with various customization options check it out and other drops in

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.879
the video description down below through browsing all the submissions I noticed

00:00:55.239 --> 00:01:01.800
Trends components that seem to Define this price category or even certain

00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:05.880
specs that I would just gravitate towards personally I left the contest

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.880
fairly open-ended and let the community show me what they could do then after

00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:15.520
skimming all of the submissions I made a list of things that I found to be

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:19.400
requirements and started judging in my opinion the best most well-rounded can

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:24.479
doit all computer was configured by someone with one of the greatest names I

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.439
have ever read Herman mcus but there is

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:33.479
more to this man than just his name and we'll start with the processor that they

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:36.320
shows the 6700k I liked the inclusion of

00:01:33.479 --> 00:01:40.880
an i7 for tasks like streaming or video editing or anything else that can take

00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:46.240
advantage of the additional threads this was largely a 6600k versus 6700k

00:01:43.960 --> 00:01:51.600
showdown in terms of processor and being able to squeeze in the i7 was great I

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:56.000
appreciated the inclusion of a 240 mm all-in-one water cooler but this wasn't

00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:01.799
a requirement I found that anyone with the like hyper 212 Evo level cooler and

00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:05.680
up received a pass in this category the motherboard wasn't anything to

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:09.920
necessarily phone home about but the features are solid with an overclocking

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:14.319
ready chipset USB type-c connector on the back and all the other basic

00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:19.560
necessities someone is likely to desire nothing too special but not overly

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:24.480
lacking either much like the 16 GB of gskill rip jaw V series memory the

00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:29.200
capacity of which I saw as a baseline for this build as it's easy to fit in

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:34.760
the budget and gives you expansion room by only using two of your expected four

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:39.200
RAM slots moving on to storage is where some of the more aggressive requirements

00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:44.959
started to show up people with ssds that were under about 240 GB or a hard drive

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:48.800
that was under about 2 terabytes were knocked off almost immediately at this

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:53.680
price point you shouldn't be making major compromises in any category

00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:58.040
luckily for Herman mcis he met both of these requirements right on the line for

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:02.840
graphics card it was a battle of the GTX 1070 versus 1080 this this price point

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:08.879
was a little high for an rx480 and the GTX 1060 but I did find that people who

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:14.560
pushed for the 1080 fell short in some other category and as the 1070 is an

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:16.440
extremely powerful card he got a pass

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:20.519
the case is solid enough and Carries through the white and black theme that

00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:24.720
has been maintained thus far the power supply has more than enough wattage to

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:28.799
power everything an 80 plus gold efficiency rating and should be built

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:34.159
well enough in order to not light everything on fire higher so that's a

00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.840
plus the monitor he chose is 1440p which

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:40.920
is a great resolution pairing for the GTX 1070 it has a beautiful IPS panel

00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.760
and a 4 millisecond delay meaning it's not exactly going to be the fastest

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:49.959
gaming monitor out there but can do the job as long as you're not trying to go

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:54.640
MLG pro or some crap like that the course a Vengeance K65 compact 10

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:59.400
keyless keyboard is a solid Choice especially at that price point and the

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:03.720
Logitech g302 paired with that gives you a great great combined hands-on

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:10.319
experience for your PC so how does it perform it destroys gaming benchmarks at

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:12.680
1440p nothing below 60 FPS average and

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:17.120
all of the games were heavy hitting titles including the newer Tomb Raider

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:22.880
Crisis 3 and Hitman and all of them were maxed freaking settings 1440p very high

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:26.919
Ultra all that fun stuff no compromises here and then for our synthetic CPU test

00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.919
it also smashed in both the multi-threaded Benchmark and the

00:04:28.919 --> 00:04:37.080
single-threaded Ben Benchmark City skylines we included this game because

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:40.479
it is CPU bound and very heavily 58 FPS

00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:42.759
that's damn close to 60 and finally game

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:49.720
streaming while streaming using xsplit at 1080p 30fps we able to get

00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.880
68.5 n frames per second in Tomb Raider

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:58.120
that's insane and that's while still playing Tomb Raider at 1440p Max

00:04:55.039 --> 00:04:59.759
settings sick how's that for a

00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:03.560
conclusion all right thanks for watch watching guys if this video sucked you know what to do but if it was awesome

as well let me know in the comments down below if you want to see more videos like this should I do more like

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:20.800
Community showdowns where we get a bunch of people to try to configure a rig at a

00:05:18.440 --> 00:05:25.199
specific price point like maybe a price point for the new Titan X which is

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:28.759
really expensive or just more logical price points like a budget build or like

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:32.000
a high-end build or something like that let me know comments down below or on

00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:37.400
Twitter at Linus um check out this video where I

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:42.360
wasn't in it cuz it's a Channel Super Fun video that was recent and it wasn't

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.360
the chalk one
