00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:09.360
it's time for episode two a viewers Choice Award computer

00:00:06.359 --> 00:00:12.120
where we tell you about the most common

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:19.480
PC purchases from lonus Tech tips audience members and check out market

00:00:15.559 --> 00:00:23.000
trends and changes since last time now

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:26.000
all of this is according to the

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.000
what

00:00:26.599 --> 00:00:32.520
26,000 Amazon transactions since the

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

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:44.399
hired someone to dig through it all for me this time anyway last year you guys

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:46.520
made some decisions that I found

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:53.069
disappointing but did you do any better this time place your

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:03.640
bets Zotac vrgo backpack features a GT X

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.080
1070 and Intel Core i7 processor

00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:11.560
allowing you to enjoy VR without obstacles learn more at the link

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:16.479
below now in the first episode I lectured you guys for spending an extra

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:24.200
$100 on an i76700k CPU after telling you that the

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.079
i56600k was the best pick for gamers in

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:32.479
a previous video well either more of you

00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:35.079
are content creators than I thought or

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

00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:44.920
Intel's cor i7 won the day with the new

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.799
generation 7700 K handily beating

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:51.960
everything else thanks to its higher clock speeds and

00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:57.439
hyperthreading but will that

00:01:51.960 --> 00:02:01.079
last most of you spent between $250 to

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:03.759
$450 on your CPU a price point that's

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

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:18.000
episode I expect the $329 8 core 3 GHz ryzen 7 1700 to have

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:24.360
chipped away at the 93% market share that Intel currently

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:27.680
enjoys among our viewers neither the

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:31.400
viewer's choice CPU Cooler nor the RAM

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:33.760
changed the hyper 212 Evo is still a

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:39.760
great performer with solid compatibility at the same price around 30 bucks but

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:47.319
the same can't be said for the 3200 MHz Corsair Vengeance dual Channel DDR4 Kit

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:50.239
they actually went up in price about 30%

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:56.000
due to fluctuations in commodity memory pricing but they also seem to have

00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:59.040
gotten a strong boost since being

00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:02.080
spotlighted last time around this

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:04.959
positive feedack back Loop might make it

00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:09.799
difficult for incumbents to be dethroned in future viewers Choice videos we will

00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:15.920
have to keep an eye on that totally different story in the motherboard

00:03:11.959 --> 00:03:19.879
Department the reigning champ the z170a

00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:22.560
from ASUS fell to fourth place with the

00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:28.599
significantly cheaper and lesser featured

00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:31.799
b150m doubling up on it this is really

00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:36.040
bizarre to me given the excellent sales

00:03:31.799 --> 00:03:39.720
of kseries overclockable i5s and

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:42.760
i7s don't you guys want to use this

00:03:39.720 --> 00:03:45.200
feature that you spent extra for I mean

00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:50.480
let me know in the comments why do you think this is happening this is another

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

00:03:53.480 --> 00:04:02.760
compatible boards hits retailer shelves so stay tuned for that on to Graphics

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:06.480
town and and more upset victories the

00:04:02.760 --> 00:04:10.200
cheaper Trend continues with evga's GTX

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:12.680
1070 gaming smashing the sales of the

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

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:22.280
comeback though scoring 25% market share

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:25.880
by unit volume mostly on the strength of

00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:28.759
rx480 sales and as for whether or not

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

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:39.639
first video card to not do so came in

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.199
ninth place I don't think even special

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:49.960
snowflake kids get a ninth place ribbon on sports day speaking of podiums

00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:52.520
Samsung's 850 Evo ssds killed it again

00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:58.520
this time with the lower capacity 250 gig variant leading the charge but a

00:04:55.400 --> 00:05:01.199
challenger approaches in third place

00:04:58.520 --> 00:05:08.919
miserly viewers sacrificed 10 gigs of storage for $30 of savings on sandisk's

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:11.680
SSD plus 240 gig for folks who broke the

00:05:08.919 --> 00:05:18.160
bank with their CPUs and ssds but need a cheap spinning desk to store their steam

00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:20.520
Library the 1 TB WD blue is Far and Away

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:26.319
the most popular skew with this surprises me hardly anyone in our

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.319
audience buying more than 6 tbte drives

00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:36.199
from either WD or Seagate even PGA is still in

00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:39.680
power when it comes to psus but this

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:42.960
time you guys for went the 650 wat fully

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:46.560
modular Supernova G1 which fell to third

00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:50.680
place and went for the cheaper 500 watt

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.160
non-modular 80 plus bronze B1 series

00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:57.199
honestly that's probably a good move for most people you get to save a couple

00:05:55.080 --> 00:06:02.080
bucks while still having the option to remove some unnecessary cable clutter an

00:06:00.039 --> 00:06:09.440
important consideration in the tempered glass era and in case you were wondering

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:14.479
the tables have also turned when it comes to chassis selection the enthu

00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:19.199
Evolve tempered glass Edition gets an honorable mention here for being the

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:25.120
most popular tempered glass case but fant's 400 series cases were almost

00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:30.960
completely absent this time around leaving the thermal take Versa H25 as

00:06:28.520 --> 00:06:39.160
the most popular single skew and the NZXT s340 in its various colors to Tower

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

00:06:41.960 --> 00:06:49.560
popular color was white go

00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:52.240
figure anyway if you're not a fan of

00:06:49.560 --> 00:07:00.319
these silly Segways we've been doing too bad it's your punishment for once again

00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:03.360
buying Corsair Aeries af-1 120s instead

00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:06.639
of the more versatile SP 1220s

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:09.479
apparently 64% of you decided that the

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:15.240
$4 of savings was more important than listening to me so at least we know how

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:19.199
much my advice is worth and

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:21.360
finally combo breaker you moved up

00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:27.440
Market in the monitor department since last time when commodity 60 Herz

00:07:23.919 --> 00:07:30.240
monitors Ruled The Roost this time both

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:37.520
the one and two slots were occupied by high refresh rate 1080p gaming monitors

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:40.599
made by AOC and ASUS respectively 144 HZ

00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:44.000
gaming is definitely becoming a thing

00:07:40.599 --> 00:07:47.360
with our viewers deeming it as important

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:51.280
as ultrawide resolution with both of

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:55.039
those coming in significantly ahead of

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:59.759
4K as for mice Logitech still sits on

00:07:55.039 --> 00:08:03.159
top but their g502 Proteus Spectrum lost

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:07.560
narrowly but lost to the more expensive

00:08:03.159 --> 00:08:10.000
g403 Prodigy a wireless gaming mouse

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:15.479
that we covered back here the first that's considered even by the pros to be

00:08:12.520 --> 00:08:20.319
suitable for high-end competitive play who would have thought a wireless mouse

00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:27.759
did a chance against good oldfashioned copper and your g403 will go perfectly

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:33.120
with your wait a minute this thing isn't

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:36.479
made by Logitech the Gan W andq USB

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:39.479
wired gaming keyboard this puppy has

00:08:36.479 --> 00:08:42.080
been selling like knockoff airpods since

00:08:39.479 --> 00:08:47.680
it rocked the competition in our cheap $25 backlit keyboard Roundup even though

00:08:45.560 --> 00:08:51.320
it has gaming in the name I didn't really recommend it as the best

00:08:49.160 --> 00:08:55.760
experience in that category so let us know in the comments how that thing is

00:08:53.160 --> 00:09:01.440
working out for you there leading us finally to the eternal struggle between

00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:04.680
good and evil Co and Pepsi Crocs and

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.680
sandals and audio we had the exact same

00:09:04.680 --> 00:09:11.360
headset Showdown as before senheiser HD

00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:13.399
598s versus the Kingston hyperx Cloud 2s

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

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:22.399
always the ant lion mod mic the more

00:09:20.160 --> 00:09:29.440
versatile but significantly more expensive option of the two so how does

00:09:25.800 --> 00:09:31.680
our PC compare to our last one well I gu

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:38.000
then surprisingly we ended up with a compatible computer right out of the box

00:09:34.839 --> 00:09:40.720
which is pretty neat and it's about $140

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:45.440
cheaper but that's only if you remove headset spending from the equation

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:52.200
otherwise we saved around 35 bucks since episode 1 did this penny pinching then

00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:54.360
result in pooper performance not really

00:09:52.200 --> 00:10:00.560
since most of the savings came from the downgraded motherboard and power supply

00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:03.079
and lower capacity SSD

00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:09.079
as far as overall trends go it was interesting to see Intel and NVIDIA's

00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:11.360
continued dominance among our viewers

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

00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:21.480
from you guys in the comments what do you think those charts might look like

00:10:18.560 --> 00:10:26.440
closer to the end of 2017 so thanks for watching guys dislike
