WEBVTT

00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:10.120
so this is an exciting time I've actually had any number of people

00:00:06.399 --> 00:00:11.679
request a new yes I got a copy of Vegas

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:16.480
I will no longer be using Windows Live Movie Maker cameraman finds that very

00:00:13.559 --> 00:00:24.320
amusing evidently okay I am going to be doing a remake of the good enough gaming

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:30.759
system which uh This original video was released on the ncixcom channel in

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:34.320
standard de got about $100,000 views in

00:00:30.759 --> 00:00:37.680
on August 23rd 2007 the dates to your

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:40.160
left there yeah okay so I have gotten a

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:44.920
ton of requests to redo this with more Modern

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.480
Hardware so I've actually decided not

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

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:57.399
systems so I'm going to do one with my original good enough gaming goal which

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

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

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:09.680
this week so no guarantees you'll find exactly this deal but there are no no

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

00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:20.000
reason okay um so uh now I've completely lost my

00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.079
train of thought right so you usually find deals of this caliber although you

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

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:33.880
2100 processor with a Gigabyte h61 motherboard I I went Super Value lowend

00:01:31.880 --> 00:01:37.200
on the motherboard and for the processor I've gone with a dual core because the

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

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

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.799
can you say no the GTX 461 gig

00:01:47.960 --> 00:01:54.880
especially with an additional 25 bucks off with a mail-in rebate and a free

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.840
copy of hawks 2 and a free NCIX $10 gift

00:01:54.880 --> 00:02:01.079
card that comes with it is a smoking good deal so that works out to just

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:07.560
under 150 bucks for a great gaming graphics card the 300 at 5299 minus a 20

00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:09.599
Mir is a well ventilated gaming chassis

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

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

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:21.160
Western Digital Caviar blue 500 gig I did not go with a green even though

00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:25.599
they're cheap because green drives are not really suitable for OS drive use I

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

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:35.720
wat power supply normally this would not fit in my budget for a $600 machine but

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

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:47.159
is $693 192 I have $80 in MIRS and I have a

00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:49.360
$10 ncx gift card that comes with that

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

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

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:04.360
then you can save yourself a 100 bucks there it becomes A5 $500 gaming machine

00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:07.000
now for comparison I want to take this

00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:11.480
value gaming machine and put it up against what you can build for about

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

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

00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:27.040
SLI ready Crossfire ready and capable of overclocking we've gone from 4 gigs to 8

00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:32.319
gigs of RAM we've gone all the way up to a GTX 570 OC

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.920
we've upgraded the chassis because most people you see spending 1,000 bucks on a

00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:41.319
gaming system are going to be buying a decent chassis the 932 is definitely a

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:46.000
very decent chassis especially for after a $20 Mir around 100 bucks we've gone

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

00:03:48.760 --> 00:03:55.640
power 650 is just a ridiculous deal so uh it's fully capable of supporting that

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

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

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.319
for storage because you can cheap out on the drive because it's just for storage

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

00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:22.240
Windows Home 7 Windows 7 Home Premium for 100 bucks and so my total minus $110

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:25.280
of Mir comes to about 1253 minus 110

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:27.400
minus another 10 bucks so uh just over

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

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:35.240
for you guys and I'm going to compare our good enough gaming machine to what

00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:38.800
