it's been 3 months since the launch of AMD's ryzen 7 CPUs and the results are
in it's time for us to pull back the curtain on just what our audience
members bought this last quarter so come
away with me as we use
46,000 lines of Amazon affiliate
transactions to spot consumer Trends spy
on your sex toy purchases and yes build
up a hypothetical PC using the most
popular parts off to Big Data
land the Phoenix otor is a full-sized
minimalistically designed keyboard complete with genuine Cherry MX switches
and a new white backlit variant check it out at the link below
so did AMD Dethrone the champ no not
even close so the core i7 7700k is the bestselling chip for the
third time in a row but all of that
crying I did in the last video available here seems to have actually had an
effect the better value gaming chip the
cor i57600k has edged its way to the number
two slot I mean it's a distant second but I still feel better about myself but
what about ryen well let me put it this way out of the top 10 bestselling CPUs
from our list four of them are ryzen
with the 1700 and 1700x Performing just
about equally in fourth and fifth place
respectively this brings AMD from just
7% market share in episode 2 all the way
to 29% among our viewers so I think it's fair
to say then that competition has
returned to the PC space the question
now then is how much should we expect that slice of the pie to grow as AMD
launches more products like the value oriented ryzen 3 and as developers start
to optimize their games to get better performance out of this new competing
architecture place your bets in the comments below cooler Masters three-time
champ the hyper 212 Evo blew away the
competition yet again with triple the
sales of the runner up the other two spots on the podium are occupied by The
Usual Suspects as well in third is the hyper T2 which is basically a budget
version of the 212 Evo and climbing to second is the Corsair Hydro series h100i
all-in-one liquid Cooler why this change well I'm attributing it to some bank
account recovery since the Christmas drain and ryzen X processors that need
beefy Cooling and don't come with coolers Corsair continues to dominate
RAM sales of the 149 different SKS that were sold
23% of all sales come from the top three
bestselling ones with 3200 MHz dims in
either black or white taking the cake
build it and they will come AMD ryzen
compatible am4 motherboards are here and
they're even closer to the top of the list than the chips that fit in them
somehow in second place is the ASUS
Prime x370 Pro for AMD's platform with support for both overclocking and dual
GPU gaming configurations and in first place well last episode's winning board
Reigns Supreme once more this affordable
ASUS B150 the LGA 1151 board isn't
capable of overclocking all of those 7700 K you people are buying but at
least it's cheap and it's got an m.2 slot so go for it I guess there was a
huge upset in the graphics department where the best selling card by just one
point was the ASUS GTX 1080 stricks this
was actually the bestselling 1080 last
time around too but that was only good enough for fourth place overall
this big jump in 1080 sales seems to be
due to the $100 price drop that they got after the
release of the 1080 TI in March so we're
expecting even more changes in this segment once the gt1030 no I'm just
kidding it's the upcoming AMD vega cards
that we're expecting to shuffle the deck somewhat one more thing have you guys
noticed how many graphics cards have VR
in the name these days well we have it's
20% with MSI ASUS and Zotac being the
I'm going to say it worst offenders here let's see if this trend like putting
gaming in the name of everything picks up in future episodes in the last
episode the 250 gig Samsung 850 Evo
overtook the 500 gig variant of the same drive as our bestselling SSD well guess
what the 500 gig Evo is back we just
can't quite figure out why if you think it's because of a price drop you'd be
wrong on average people actually paid $7
more for it this time around there's
just so much gosh darn mystery in the world isn't there something that makes a
bit more sense though is sales of m.2
ssds these are on the rise with the most popular m.2 Drive arriving in fourth
place with a $75 price premium over the
$ 850 Evo of the same capacity on the
hard drive front the 1 TB Western
Digital blue is still King but we're
going to be keeping our eyes peeled for higher capacity hard drives becoming
more popular now that Intel optane module sales have started to hit the
books because those things can accelerate a hard drive in a big way for
operating systems Windows 10 home USB drives have officially and decisively
claimed the number one spot we don't even have to count the one person who
bought the Spanish version and later returned it the USB cost the same amount
as downloadable Windows but has the more flexible license terms of the retail
copy EVGA continues to supply the most
popular power supplies but just because the 500 W bronze won again doesn't mean
that the technology isn't moving forward overall while the price of this PSU has
stayed near the Rock Bottom $42 the price of the EVGA 650 watt fully modular
80 plus gold has actually dropped around 30 bucks since episode 2 making it a
more attractive option for cases the best-selling single skew was the Corsair
Crystal series 570x RGB that we featured
in our wow PC upgrade video and in our
editing Den upgrade but that's not quite
the whole story if you count all the color variations then the bestselling
case was actually the fantex and through evolve tempered glass Edition naturally
more budget conscious Shoppers went for the NZXT s340 while those interested in
smaller form factor cases chose silverstone's M8 this time around Noctua
iced the competition with the nf12 coming in on top even though they cost
twice as much as Corsair's popular air
series fans and they only come in one
distinct let's just put it that way color scheme so we'd like to ask the
audience do you think it would be better for Noctua in the long term to maintain
their strong brand Identity or to offer
more modern flavors maybe even RGB
blasphemy sorry I got carried
away okay moving on now we've been monitoring the situation and high
refresh rate 1080p displays one once
more this time it's a 24 incher from
ASUS and the March towards the mainstream doesn't look like it's
slowing down with high refresh rate gaining way more market share than any
other key feature over the last quarter
now really okay well you're not going to
believe this one but take last episode's
bestselling Mouse and multiply its sales
by five that's how many of these damn things you
guys bought it's the red dragon centr
for us Mouse from our cheap gaming mouse Roundup and guess what second and third
place are from that video too but wait it gets even better you guys also bought
the keyboard to go with it the red dragon k503 har b s color backlit gaming
keyboard I guess you guys really love these cheap crap roundups Hey cuz it
gives you so much more money to spend on the ever popular hyperx Cloud 2 gaming
headset they must sell so freaking many
of those things so then putting it all together we once again for the third
time running have a compatible computer
it's got five of the same Parts as last time but while similar but cheaper was
the trend in the last episode of viewers Choice viewers Choice PC number three is
$175 more expensive than even the first
