00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:09,360
it's time for episode two a viewers Choice Award computer

2
00:00:06,359 --> 00:00:12,120
where we tell you about the most common

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:19,480
PC purchases from lonus Tech tips audience members and check out market

4
00:00:15,559 --> 00:00:23,000
trends and changes since last time now

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:26,000
all of this is according to the

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
what

7
00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:32,520
26,000 Amazon transactions since the

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:37,000
start of the year on our affiliate code holy crap it is a good thing that I

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:44,399
hired someone to dig through it all for me this time anyway last year you guys

10
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:46,520
made some decisions that I found

11
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:53,069
disappointing but did you do any better this time place your

12
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:03,640
bets Zotac vrgo backpack features a GT X

13
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:06,080
1070 and Intel Core i7 processor

allowing you to enjoy VR without obstacles learn more at the link

15
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:16,479
below now in the first episode I lectured you guys for spending an extra

16
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:24,200
$100 on an i76700k CPU after telling you that the

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,079
i56600k was the best pick for gamers in

18
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:32,479
a previous video well either more of you

19
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:35,079
are content creators than I thought or

20
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:40,720
maybe no one cares what I think and I'm living a giant lie because once again

21
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:44,920
Intel's cor i7 won the day with the new

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:46,799
generation 7700 K handily beating

23
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:51,960
everything else thanks to its higher clock speeds and

24
00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:57,439
hyperthreading but will that

25
00:01:51,960 --> 00:02:01,079
last most of you spent between $250 to

26
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:03,759
$450 on your CPU a price point that's

27
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:10,480
about to be thoroughly shaken up by AMD's new ryzen 7 lineup so by the next

28
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:18,000
episode I expect the $329 8 core 3 GHz ryzen 7 1700 to have

29
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:24,360
chipped away at the 93% market share that Intel currently

30
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:27,680
enjoys among our viewers neither the

31
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,400
viewer's choice CPU Cooler nor the RAM

32
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,760
changed the hyper 212 Evo is still a

33
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:39,760
great performer with solid compatibility at the same price around 30 bucks but

34
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:47,319
the same can't be said for the 3200 MHz Corsair Vengeance dual Channel DDR4 Kit

35
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:50,239
they actually went up in price about 30%

36
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:56,000
due to fluctuations in commodity memory pricing but they also seem to have

37
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:59,040
gotten a strong boost since being

38
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,080
spotlighted last time around this

39
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,959
positive feedack back Loop might make it

40
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:09,799
difficult for incumbents to be dethroned in future viewers Choice videos we will

41
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:15,920
have to keep an eye on that totally different story in the motherboard

42
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:19,879
Department the reigning champ the z170a

43
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:22,560
from ASUS fell to fourth place with the

44
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:28,599
significantly cheaper and lesser featured

45
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:31,799
b150m doubling up on it this is really

46
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:36,040
bizarre to me given the excellent sales

47
00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:39,720
of kseries overclockable i5s and

48
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:42,760
i7s don't you guys want to use this

49
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,200
feature that you spent extra for I mean

50
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:50,480
let me know in the comments why do you think this is happening this is another

51
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:55,799
category by the way that I expect to be turned inside out as the flood of ryzen

52
00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:02,760
compatible boards hits retailer shelves so stay tuned for that on to Graphics

53
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:06,480
town and and more upset victories the

54
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:10,200
cheaper Trend continues with evga's GTX

55
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,680
1070 gaming smashing the sales of the

56
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:19,000
two cards that were tied for first in our last episode AMD did make a bit of a

57
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,280
comeback though scoring 25% market share

58
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,880
by unit volume mostly on the strength of

59
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:28,759
rx480 sales and as for whether or not

60
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:36,080
putting gaming in the card's name makes a difference let me put it this way the

61
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:39,639
first video card to not do so came in

62
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,199
ninth place I don't think even special

63
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:49,960
snowflake kids get a ninth place ribbon on sports day speaking of podiums

64
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:52,520
Samsung's 850 Evo ssds killed it again

65
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:58,520
this time with the lower capacity 250 gig variant leading the charge but a

66
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:01,199
challenger approaches in third place

67
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:08,919
miserly viewers sacrificed 10 gigs of storage for $30 of savings on sandisk's

68
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,680
SSD plus 240 gig for folks who broke the

69
00:05:08,919 --> 00:05:18,160
bank with their CPUs and ssds but need a cheap spinning desk to store their steam

70
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,520
Library the 1 TB WD blue is Far and Away

71
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:26,319
the most popular skew with this surprises me hardly anyone in our

72
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:28,319
audience buying more than 6 tbte drives

73
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:36,199
from either WD or Seagate even PGA is still in

74
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:39,680
power when it comes to psus but this

75
00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:42,960
time you guys for went the 650 wat fully

76
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:46,560
modular Supernova G1 which fell to third

77
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:50,680
place and went for the cheaper 500 watt

78
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:53,160
non-modular 80 plus bronze B1 series

79
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:57,199
honestly that's probably a good move for most people you get to save a couple

80
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:02,080
bucks while still having the option to remove some unnecessary cable clutter an

81
00:06:00,039 --> 00:06:09,440
important consideration in the tempered glass era and in case you were wondering

82
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:14,479
the tables have also turned when it comes to chassis selection the enthu

83
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:19,199
Evolve tempered glass Edition gets an honorable mention here for being the

84
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:25,120
most popular tempered glass case but fant's 400 series cases were almost

85
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:30,960
completely absent this time around leaving the thermal take Versa H25 as

86
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:39,160
the most popular single skew and the NZXT s340 in its various colors to Tower

87
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:45,840
Above the Rest am I the only one who's surprised by this I mean the most

88
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:49,560
popular color was white go

89
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:52,240
figure anyway if you're not a fan of

90
00:06:49,560 --> 00:07:00,319
these silly Segways we've been doing too bad it's your punishment for once again

91
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:03,360
buying Corsair Aeries af-1 120s instead

92
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:06,639
of the more versatile SP 1220s

93
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,479
apparently 64% of you decided that the

94
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:15,240
$4 of savings was more important than listening to me so at least we know how

95
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:19,199
much my advice is worth and

96
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:21,360
finally combo breaker you moved up

97
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:27,440
Market in the monitor department since last time when commodity 60 Herz

98
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:30,240
monitors Ruled The Roost this time both

99
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:37,520
the one and two slots were occupied by high refresh rate 1080p gaming monitors

100
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:40,599
made by AOC and ASUS respectively 144 HZ

101
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:44,000
gaming is definitely becoming a thing

102
00:07:40,599 --> 00:07:47,360
with our viewers deeming it as important

103
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,280
as ultrawide resolution with both of

104
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:55,039
those coming in significantly ahead of

105
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:59,759
4K as for mice Logitech still sits on

106
00:07:55,039 --> 00:08:03,159
top but their g502 Proteus Spectrum lost

107
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:07,560
narrowly but lost to the more expensive

108
00:08:03,159 --> 00:08:10,000
g403 Prodigy a wireless gaming mouse

109
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:15,479
that we covered back here the first that's considered even by the pros to be

110
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:20,319
suitable for high-end competitive play who would have thought a wireless mouse

111
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:27,759
did a chance against good oldfashioned copper and your g403 will go perfectly

112
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:33,120
with your wait a minute this thing isn't

113
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:36,479
made by Logitech the Gan W andq USB

114
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:39,479
wired gaming keyboard this puppy has

115
00:08:36,479 --> 00:08:42,080
been selling like knockoff airpods since

116
00:08:39,479 --> 00:08:47,680
it rocked the competition in our cheap $25 backlit keyboard Roundup even though

117
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:51,320
it has gaming in the name I didn't really recommend it as the best

118
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:55,760
experience in that category so let us know in the comments how that thing is

119
00:08:53,160 --> 00:09:01,440
working out for you there leading us finally to the eternal struggle between

120
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:04,680
good and evil Co and Pepsi Crocs and

121
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:07,680
sandals and audio we had the exact same

122
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:11,360
headset Showdown as before senheiser HD

123
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:13,399
598s versus the Kingston hyperx Cloud 2s

124
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:20,160
this time the battle has been won by a mere three points by the sisers with as

125
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,399
always the ant lion mod mic the more

126
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:29,440
versatile but significantly more expensive option of the two so how does

127
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:31,680
our PC compare to our last one well I gu

128
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:38,000
then surprisingly we ended up with a compatible computer right out of the box

129
00:09:34,839 --> 00:09:40,720
which is pretty neat and it's about $140

130
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,440
cheaper but that's only if you remove headset spending from the equation

131
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:52,200
otherwise we saved around 35 bucks since episode 1 did this penny pinching then

132
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:54,360
result in pooper performance not really

133
00:09:52,200 --> 00:10:00,560
since most of the savings came from the downgraded motherboard and power supply

134
00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:03,079
and lower capacity SSD

135
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:09,079
as far as overall trends go it was interesting to see Intel and NVIDIA's

136
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:11,360
continued dominance among our viewers

137
00:10:09,079 --> 00:10:15,959
especially given the kind of year that we are heading into and I'd love to hear

138
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:21,480
from you guys in the comments what do you think those charts might look like

139
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:26,440
closer to the end of 2017 so thanks for watching guys dislike

140

if you disliked like if you liked get subscribed maybe check out where to buy

141
