1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:10,120
so this is an exciting time I've actually had any number of people

2
00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:11,679
request a new yes I got a copy of Vegas

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:16,480
I will no longer be using Windows Live Movie Maker cameraman finds that very

4
00:00:13,559 --> 00:00:24,320
amusing evidently okay I am going to be doing a remake of the good enough gaming

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:30,759
system which uh This original video was released on the ncixcom channel in

6
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:34,320
standard de got about $100,000 views in

7
00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:37,680
on August 23rd 2007 the dates to your

8
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,160
left there yeah okay so I have gotten a

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,920
ton of requests to redo this with more Modern

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,480
Hardware so I've actually decided not

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:52,600
only to do that but also to kick things up a notch and I'm going to be doing two

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:57,399
systems so I'm going to do one with my original good enough gaming goal which

13
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:01,000
was a $600 system so let's walk you through what I'm going to be using for

14
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:05,360
that this is all stuff that I've shopped for on the NC site in our weekly special

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,680
this week so no guarantees you'll find exactly this deal but there are no no

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,439
that's there for a reason what are you what what you doing that's there for a

17
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:20,000
reason okay um so uh now I've completely lost my

18
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,079
train of thought right so you usually find deals of this caliber although you

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:29,000
might not find exactly the same one so the first thing I've got here for my good enough gaming system is a core I3

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,880
2100 processor with a Gigabyte h61 motherboard I I went Super Value lowend

21
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,200
on the motherboard and for the processor I've gone with a dual core because the

22
00:01:35,399 --> 00:01:41,240
reality of it is most of the games out there are still going to run just fine

23
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:47,960
on a dual core I went with 4 gigs of RAM because for $39.99 minus a $5 Mir how

24
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,799
can you say no the GTX 461 gig

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,880
especially with an additional 25 bucks off with a mail-in rebate and a free

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,840
copy of hawks 2 and a free NCIX $10 gift

27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:01,079
card that comes with it is a smoking good deal so that works out to just

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:07,560
under 150 bucks for a great gaming graphics card the 300 at 5299 minus a 20

29
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,599
Mir is a well ventilated gaming chassis

30
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,040
it's pretty you know basic but it is what it is we're trying to hit a price

31
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:17,959
point here I do not have enough budget for an SSD so I've gone with a $40

32
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,160
Western Digital Caviar blue 500 gig I did not go with a green even though

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:25,599
they're cheap because green drives are not really suitable for OS drive use I

34
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:30,519
have a DVD Rider I've gone with Windows 7 Home Premium and a true power new 650

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:35,720
wat power supply normally this would not fit in my budget for a $600 machine but

36
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,239
it has a $30 Mir on it so down here at the bottom I can see that my cart total

37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:47,159
is $693 192 I have $80 in MIRS and I have a

38
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,360
$10 ncx gift card that comes with that

39
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:55,840
uh that MSI graphics card so I basically treat that as cash so I went just over

40
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,040
my $600 Target and if you know someone if you already have a copy of Windows 7

41
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:04,360
then you can save yourself a 100 bucks there it becomes A5 $500 gaming machine

42
00:03:01,239 --> 00:03:07,000
now for comparison I want to take this

43
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:11,480
value gaming machine and put it up against what you can build for about

44
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,879
1,000 bucks so here we've got an i5 2500k so we've gone from a dual core to

45
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:22,319
a quad core processor we've gone from a cheapo h61 board to a p67 board that is

46
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:27,040
SLI ready Crossfire ready and capable of overclocking we've gone from 4 gigs to 8

47
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:32,319
gigs of RAM we've gone all the way up to a GTX 570 OC

48
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,920
we've upgraded the chassis because most people you see spending 1,000 bucks on a

49
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:41,319
gaming system are going to be buying a decent chassis the 932 is definitely a

50
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:46,000
very decent chassis especially for after a $20 Mir around 100 bucks we've gone

51
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:51,680
with the same power supply because it's such a good deal for $39.99 the true

52
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:55,640
power 650 is just a ridiculous deal so uh it's fully capable of supporting that

53
00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:00,799
GTX 570 so that's what I'll be doing I can afford an SSD on this machine so I'm

54
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:04,239
going with an ocz vertex 2 60 gig and then I'm going to go with a Caviar Green

55
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,319
for storage because you can cheap out on the drive because it's just for storage

56
00:04:05,959 --> 00:04:12,079
green is fine for that finally I've got a DVD riter same as the other one in

57
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:22,240
Windows Home 7 Windows 7 Home Premium for 100 bucks and so my total minus $110

58
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:25,280
of Mir comes to about 1253 minus 110

59
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,400
minus another 10 bucks so uh just over

60
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:30,520
$1,100 so what I'm going to do is I'm going to build both of these machines

61
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:35,240
for you guys and I'm going to compare our good enough gaming machine to what
