WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840 I love a good comeback story and Intel 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:09.480 is the kind of guy that just keeps getting back up. Not only are we about 00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:16.200 to recommend their graphics card for a $1,000 budget build, we're about to 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:18.120 recommend a Core i5 12600K. 00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:23.280 Am I disappointed? We're going to put a 5-year-old processor in a brand new 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.720 computer? Yes, but unfortunately, that's just 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:34.760 things sometimes. Truly the wildest of times. So wild in 00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:39.760 fact that I'm going to be showing you how to build a PC. 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.680 Hello, old friend. It's been a while. 00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.920 Nearly 7 years since I was at the helm 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:53.200 guiding you, young viewer, on your 1440p 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.080 capable gaming rig journey. And Linus 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:59.240 was there, too, I guess. Now it's time for my comeback story. So take my hand. 00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:06.680 Hold on tight. It looks a little scary out there, but 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:11.360 hey, things are going to be all right. Yeah. 00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:15.760 Sponsor time. Tello, a wireless option that doesn't drive you crazy? Tello me 00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:20.480 about it. Tello Mobile offers flexible and affordable phone plans with prices 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:26.920 up to $25 a month. Check them out using our link down below. We're starting with 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:29.720 our CPU, Team Blue's Core i5 12600K. 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:34.920 True, AMD's more popular these days, but their latest socket AM5 is only 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:38.720 compatible with DDR5 memory, which is out of our reach. 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:44.880 Thanks to how things are. And their previous generation AM4 X3D chips are 00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:49.880 being scalped. Very cool. Luckily for us, our 1440p resolution target means 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:54.520 that our GPU will be doing a bit more of the work than the CPU, which may not be 00:01:52.200 --> 00:02:01.640 the case at lower resolutions. And that means we don't need something as beefy 00:01:57.160 --> 00:02:03.680 as a 9800 X3D. Would it be nice? 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:08.960 Yeah, but this little guy right here with six P cores and four E cores offers 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:13.959 solid bang for the buck right now and a decent upgrade path later. Next. 00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:23.600 Wow, delivery. Motherboard. Upgrading should be easy thanks to our reasonably 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:29.320 beefy motherboard. ASUS's sleekly titled 00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:31.440 B760M A Y W Wi-Fi D4 II. These days, 100 00:02:29.320 --> 00:02:36.200 bucks is about as cheap as decent boards get. It's got competent VRMs. Just maybe 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:41.760 don't try to run a 14900K in this thing. A PCIe Gen 5 expansion slot and 2 and 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:46.080 1/2 gig LAN. Look, I'm going to level with you guys. I would have loved a 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:51.240 USB-C port on the rear IO or an internal header. But $100 is $100. Now, before we 00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:56.040 get to assembly, let's make sure we've got the usual suspects of PC building 00:02:53.520 --> 00:03:00.200 supplies. You will need some kind of screwdriver. I'm partial to this one 00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:04.519 from lttstore.com. And you'll want some extra help in the 00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:09.160 form of a magnetic parts tray, zip ties, side cutters, and sometimes a set of 00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:14.200 needle-nose pliers come in handy, too. Last but not least, wear an ESD wrist or 00:03:11.959 --> 00:03:18.600 ankle strap that's properly grounded. To install our CPU, we're going to start by 00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:23.080 putting our motherboard on top of the box that it came in. This works as a 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:27.680 great little work platform that eases any fears of scraping the back of the 00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:31.640 board by accident. Next is one of the only steps where you can kind of easily 00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:37.320 wreck your motherboard. We're going to unlatch our socket cover like so, take 00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:41.519 our CPU, and line up the golden triangle with the bottom left corner. It's pretty 00:03:39.440 --> 00:03:45.760 small and hard to see, so sometimes I like to just line up the top and bottom 00:03:43.239 --> 00:03:50.920 notches here and here. Once you're ready, gently place the CPU 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:56.600 into the socket. Don't force it. If it's not dropping in nicely, carefully pick 00:03:53.160 --> 00:03:58.080 it up and try again. It's okay. Once it 00:03:56.600 --> 00:04:01.960 looks like it's in properly, give it a little wiggle to make sure it's seated. 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:06.200 Just a little one. Then push the cover down and close the latch. This does take 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:10.560 a little bit more force than you might expect, but don't worry. You're doing 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.480 fine. Don't be alarmed when the cover pops off. That's supposed to happen. 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:19.560 Throw it into your motherboard box. You will need this if you ever have to RMA 00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:26.440 your board. Now, let's talk memory. This 2 by 8 gig kit of DDR4 from G.Skill cost 00:04:22.760 --> 00:04:28.520 us about 150 bucks. That's bad, but at 00:04:26.440 --> 00:04:32.080 least they're high-speed, low-latency modules. So, unless you need more 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:36.840 capacity, you shouldn't need to upgrade for quite a while. You can save a buck 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.320 here and get this kit from Crucial, but we felt this was a pretty reasonable 00:04:38.200 --> 00:04:44.440 spot to spend an extra 25 bucks for better performance. We are going to use 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:48.720 this very similar kit from Patriot today because we don't want to buy more DDR4 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:52.680 that could go into someone's hands who needs it. This kit has got slightly 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:56.720 tighter timings, but performance should be relatively the same. The nice thing 00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:01.120 about mATX sized motherboards like the one we're going with is they often just 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:06.440 have two DIMM slots, so you won't be confused about in which slot your DIMM 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:11.560 should go. And we've only got two DIMMs. So, we'll just undo the clips at the 00:05:08.440 --> 00:05:13.720 top, line up the key like so, then push 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:18.240 the module into the slot firmly with your thumbs until you hear a click. 00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:22.360 Repeat for module two, and that's RAM installed. Easy. By the way, if you run 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:27.960 into trouble later, I can't stress enough how often unseated RAM is the 00:05:25.440 --> 00:05:33.720 issue. So, remove these and try again for one of your first potential 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:35.960 troubleshooting steps. Next, 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:40.080 cooler. Y'all's need something to take the heat away from the CPU, and it's 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:46.360 hard to go wrong with Thermalright these days. The Peerless Assassin 90 SE should 00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:48.080 be plenty for our CPU today and probably 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:53.040 enough for most chips we might upgrade to tomorrow as long as it's not a Core 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.600 i9. Coolers typically have different mounting instructions depending on the 00:05:54.480 --> 00:06:00.680 brand or model of cooler and the motherboard socket it's being strapped 00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:05.640 to. If you have a different cooler than the one we're using today, then follow 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:11.480 those instructions. Otherwise, follow mine. Start by grabbing the LGA 1700 00:06:09.280 --> 00:06:15.960 hardware. Our back plate already has the sliders installed, so adjust them as 00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:21.120 needed to fit these four holes around the CPU socket. Peel the sticky strips, 00:06:18.760 --> 00:06:25.360 install the back plate right way up, then put down these plastic spacers over 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.520 the mounting posts. Next, take the two straight brackets and 00:06:27.640 --> 00:06:34.800 put them over the spacers with this mounting post facing up, then screw them 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:40.040 down with the included screws. Make sure to apply thermal paste. A little dab'll 00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:44.400 do ya, but you can't ruin performance by overdoing it, so feel free to use 00:06:42.080 --> 00:06:48.760 whatever style you prefer. I'm partial to one big line down the middle. Now, 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:53.760 before installing the cooler, don't forget the peel. It's fun and also 00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:58.000 important. Remove the sticker from the bottom of your cooler, place it down on 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:02.080 the CPU, and screw it down onto the brackets. As for the fan, orient the 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:06.120 cable so it's in the bottom right corner, slide it into the middle, and 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:11.760 then pull the clips back over the heat sink like so. Lastly, plug this into 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:15.600 your CPU fan header up here, and you can feel free to tuck the excess cabling 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:21.320 underneath. Well, where are we going to put all this hardware? Well, there are 00:07:17.880 --> 00:07:23.760 many cases like the Sama SVO2, 00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:27.200 but this one is mine. And for just $60 on sale, it's pretty tough to beat. 00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:32.520 There's plenty of space for big coolers or graphics cards, comes with a few ARGB 00:07:29.640 --> 00:07:38.560 fans, has a Type-C port on the front IO, and it looks a lot like the more upscale 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:43.960 Height x 60. Okay. To To clear, our board doesn't 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:48.640 have a Type-C header, so that top IO port is just for show right now. Uh if 00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:53.080 you want, you can get a Type-C adapter add-in card for pretty cheap, but we 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:55.560 won't be covering that in this video. All right. 00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.200 Let's pop our motherboard in there. Start by removing the front and side 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:03.960 glass panels. This may take some force, and you might need a plastic prying 00:08:01.880 --> 00:08:09.000 tool, but they just pop off and slide out like so. Put the case on its side 00:08:06.760 --> 00:08:14.360 and confirm the standoffs match the motherboard. Ours started out ready for 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:18.160 ATX, so use the standoff removal tool and move the two bottom posts to here 00:08:16.840 --> 00:08:23.800 and here. We're going to make sure the IO shield is installed on our motherboard, then 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:28.760 pick the board up by the cooler and install it gently onto the standoffs. 00:08:26.840 --> 00:08:33.200 You really don't want to scrape the board against the posts. So, if it's not 00:08:30.880 --> 00:08:36.159 seated right, just lift it up and try again. 00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:39.479 Next, screw it down with these six screws like so. 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:44.680 Hey. Nice. Now, at this point, you're 00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:47.800 probably screaming at me, "RILEY! YOU 00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:49.480 DIDN'T INSTALL AN NVMe SSD yet!" 00:08:47.800 --> 00:08:53.920 And you're right, because guess what? Now SSDs and hard drives are expensive, 00:08:51.960 --> 00:09:00.360 too. So, that means we're opting for a good old-fashioned 1 TB SATA SSD. Sure, 00:08:58.040 --> 00:09:04.280 DirectStorage is slowly happening, and a few games will benefit from a faster 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.000 drive, but for the most part, we're talking about waiting maybe a few extra 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:11.680 seconds in the lengthiest of loading screens. 00:09:09.560 --> 00:09:16.480 >> Welcome to Rust, or as I like to call it, welcome to hell. We wanted 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:20.480 to make sure a 1 TB drive fit in our budget, and adding a faster drive later 00:09:18.920 --> 00:09:24.720 is one of the easiest upgrades you can do. Now, who knows what'll happen, but 00:09:22.160 --> 00:09:29.520 at the time of filming, prices are starting to stabilize a little bit. This 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:33.920 Crucial drive is no longer on sale, but maybe check out this 1 TB Samsung 990 00:09:32.280 --> 00:09:37.360 Evo if you're willing to pay a little bit extra for a more modern drive. And 00:09:35.880 --> 00:09:41.440 your motherboard should include some SATA data cables that we're going to 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:45.480 need. We like to plug into the board first and then route the cable out the 00:09:43.400 --> 00:09:49.600 back. We'll mount our drive to the case on the back where it's labeled SSD by 00:09:47.920 --> 00:09:54.160 taking the mounting tray off, screwing it down with these four screws, and then 00:09:51.520 --> 00:09:58.880 reattaching the tray to the case. Then attach the data cable. It's just that 00:09:56.640 --> 00:10:03.560 easy. This is also a good time to grab the tiny M.2 standoff and screw from 00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:08.640 your motherboard box and install that on the board for a future upgrade. These 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:13.800 are really easy to lose and this will keep it safe. We're so close to being 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:19.840 done, I can't wait. But first, the power supply. We bought this 650 watt 80 plus 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:22.000 bronze unit from MSI for just 60 bucks. 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:27.560 You can find cheaper options, but we've had good test experiences at the lab 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:29.360 with these MSI MAG ABN units and 80 plus 00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:32.840 actually rates this guy as silver efficiency. The only issue we found with 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:36.760 some poor performance with power brownouts. So, if you live somewhere 00:10:34.640 --> 00:10:40.120 with unreliable power, maybe check out the lab's website and pick something 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:44.360 else that we've reviewed positively that fits your budget. The nice thing about 00:10:42.040 --> 00:10:47.839 non-modular power supplies is you can't really install the cables wrong because 00:10:46.400 --> 00:10:52.000 they're already plugged in. With the cables pulled out of the way, stick it 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.920 into the basement, line it up with the screw holes, then screw it down. If your 00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:02.000 case, like ours, has a filter on the bottom, you can feel free to install the 00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:04.080 PSU in either orientation. Even if it's 00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:08.160 intaking air from the bottom, pet hair shouldn't be an issue. The annoying 00:11:05.640 --> 00:11:13.440 thing about non-modular units is we don't need all of these cables, but we 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:18.240 do need most of them. Take your 24-pin ATX power connector and route it up 00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:21.680 through the side and to the board. Make sure it's keyed the right way before 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:28.480 pressing down. Now, this is another moment that requires a little more force, but you can do it. I believe in 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:32.440 you. Next, let's get our CPU power routed up through here and into our 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:35.840 little 8-pin header. If there's not enough space for your hands, feel free 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:39.160 to remove the cooler and just move it to the side. As long as you don't wipe that 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:43.560 paste anywhere, you can just put it back on after no reapplication necessary. 00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:48.600 After that's in place, we'll route a pigtail eight-pin PCIe power cable out 00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:52.720 of the side and just leave it dangling here for later. We'll need both the 00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:57.400 eight-pin and the six-pin from that for the GPU. Finally, we need our SATA power 00:11:55.680 --> 00:12:01.600 cable. Now, this can stay in the back since all we need it for is our SSD and 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:05.600 fan hub. Plug it in wherever you want along the chain and tuck the rest of the 00:12:03.680 --> 00:12:09.320 cable into the basement along with everything else we're not using. Now, we 00:12:08.040 --> 00:12:15.120 are at the moment you've all been waiting for, the Intel Arc B580, 00:12:12.280 --> 00:12:18.800 specifically the ASRock Steel Legend version with a little bit of overclock 00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:24.080 right out of the box. For $300, this is about as good as it 00:12:21.880 --> 00:12:28.560 gets with 12 gigs of VRAM and much improved driver support. It took Intel a 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:34.400 little bit of time, okay? But, these little cards are great for 00:12:30.640 --> 00:12:37.000 1080p, good for 1440p, and 00:12:34.400 --> 00:12:41.560 capable of 4K gaming if you're willing to run everything on low and enable 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:46.240 XeSS, okay? Typically, for a gaming PC, we recommend taking half of your budget 00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:50.440 and putting it towards the GPU, but uh you know, things are a little weird 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:55.560 right now with memory and storage at all-time high prices and hard to obtain. 00:12:53.880 --> 00:12:59.640 Sure, graphics cards have gone up in price, but at least you can still buy 00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:04.880 them, making this a part you can easily upgrade in the future. 00:13:02.680 --> 00:13:10.040 Knock on a lot of that. Let's get our PCIe slot covers out of the way first by 00:13:07.280 --> 00:13:14.040 taking off the slot cover cover. You heard me. Once those are removed, 00:13:11.880 --> 00:13:18.920 eyeball the PCIe slot and do your best to line up the gold teeth with the slot. 00:13:16.640 --> 00:13:23.040 Once you're ready, give it a solid push to seat it into place. Screw it down 00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:27.760 where you removed the slot covers, then plug in our eight- and six-pin power 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:31.560 connectors. We are so close, you guys. Okay, just got to wire everything else 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:36.640 up. Plug in HD audio at the bottom left over here. Plug in our USB 3.0 slot near 00:13:34.400 --> 00:13:42.120 the ATX power connector over here. And then, let's get our fan hub plugged into 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:44.120 any of our PWM fan headers. I'm going to 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:48.640 use this one. I like its vibe. We're going to plug in our pre-daisy-chained 00:13:46.520 --> 00:13:53.080 ARGB cable to this header on the board up here. And last but not least, plug in 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:57.960 your front panel header. Conveniently enough, this case has just one solid 00:13:55.400 --> 00:14:01.880 unit instead of a few individual pins. So, as long as it's oriented the right 00:13:59.800 --> 00:14:07.080 way, it just plugs right into your F panel header like so. Now, contrary to 00:14:04.760 --> 00:14:11.040 popular opinion, this next step is technically optional. For cable 00:14:08.680 --> 00:14:15.960 management, pull them all just a little bit taut to get rid of excess slack, and 00:14:13.880 --> 00:14:19.880 then we're going to use those zip ties to attach them to some of these handy 00:14:17.520 --> 00:14:24.960 tie-down points. It doesn't take a lot of time, and it looks much nicer after. 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:29.360 Everything else, like those extra cables on our non-modular PSU, stuff them into 00:14:27.520 --> 00:14:33.960 the basement and never think about them again. 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.960 Heck, yeah. 00:14:36.040 --> 00:14:42.360 All right, we're all done. This build is ready to game. Let's see 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:46.600 how she goes. Ooh. The colors. 00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:51.080 Now, this is a hardware-focused video, so we're not going to get too into 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:57.280 software tuning and all that, but I will just check that we are running at 1440p 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:58.839 on this monitor, 240 hertz. Uh the RAM, 00:14:57.280 --> 00:15:03.200 uh as seen in the task manager, running at 3600 megatransfers per second. That's 00:15:01.400 --> 00:15:08.640 as it's supposed to be. We've got a fairly up-to-date driver on the Arc 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:11.040 B580, and it's helpfully showing us that 00:15:08.640 --> 00:15:15.280 Resizable Bar is enabled. I'm, you know, I'm happy. But, leave a comment if you 00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:18.760 want us to do a video on how to tune your PC after you build it. I feel like 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:22.480 that's a whole video in itself. With that out of the way, let's get into some 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.320 games, okay? What What do we got installed locally here? Marathon, I 00:15:24.280 --> 00:15:30.560 haven't had a chance to play Marathon yet. So, we're going to do it on this 00:15:28.400 --> 00:15:34.680 brand new squeaky clean build. Who's that guy? I want to know. What's the 00:15:32.680 --> 00:15:39.320 lore? I do want to start with Marathon because it is a competitive shooter, but 00:15:37.400 --> 00:15:42.920 it is fairly new and as far as I understand the graphics are 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:45.800 interesting to look at. I don't know if it's very intensive or not, but I'm 00:15:44.800 --> 00:15:50.960 going to give you my subjective experience. Wow. 00:15:48.640 --> 00:15:54.080 Now, that's what I call graphics. That's what you get when you get Riley house to 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:59.160 LTT video. This is my the first time I've loaded in. 00:15:55.800 --> 00:16:01.120 It's beautiful. Look at those rocks. Uh 00:15:59.160 --> 00:16:06.520 We got a lot of weather effects and wind and rain. Okay, I'm at medium preset now 00:16:03.400 --> 00:16:09.920 getting about 100 FPS. Although, I'm not 00:16:06.520 --> 00:16:11.600 in a intensive combat situation. I don't 00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:15.320 like how it they all like load in so slowly like that. Are they like 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:20.760 generating as you go? Survey drone cartridge. My backpack's full. 00:16:18.880 --> 00:16:26.839 Okay. I'm shooting people now. We got effects going. 86 FPS. Bam bam bam. Bam. 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:31.839 Woah. Those are little missiles. Okay, 95 FPS for like some crazy, you 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:35.560 know. BAM BAM BAM. OH. 00:16:34.040 --> 00:16:39.160 SO, THEN I CAN'T DO ANYTHING except give up. I'm going to give up. You won't turn 00:16:37.800 --> 00:16:43.720 me into a different kind of cybernetic Android 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:47.600 thing. Okay, I'm not super happy with how that run went, but overall I'm kind 00:16:46.040 --> 00:16:51.240 of happy with the performance so far. I mean, we were at started in at highest 00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:54.160 settings. And you know, we're getting around 60-ish. That you probably want a 00:16:52.839 --> 00:16:58.080 bit more than that for a competitive shooter. So, we dropped down to medium. 00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:02.400 We're hovering around 100. You know, for a brand new game that's probably got 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:05.439 some optimization yet to do. I'm happy with it and that's what's important. 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:08.680 Marathon, that's a fast-paced competitive shooter, you know, a lot of 00:17:06.959 --> 00:17:11.760 jerky action. Now, we're in Resident Evil which is very calm and as I 00:17:10.560 --> 00:17:17.480 understand I haven't played a single one of the franchise, but as I understand it's a kind of a relaxing game, right? 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:22.240 That's right. Why is it so dark in here though? That's my question. But in this 00:17:20.280 --> 00:17:27.800 dark room with almost nothing going on we got 71 FPS average. 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:33.120 Oh, you can run. If I run am I going to run headfirst into a zombie? 00:17:31.120 --> 00:17:36.880 There's one. Has anyone tried healing them though? But I want action. 00:17:35.560 --> 00:17:44.200 Gosh. Oh, space is Jeez Louise. Why? 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:48.080 Why isn't he dead? I shot him. Jeez. Guys in Resident Evil can just 00:17:46.360 --> 00:17:53.760 kind of take a couple zombie bites and you're fine? >> Yeah, you eat some herbs after. What 00:17:49.760 --> 00:17:56.520 kind of game is this? 71 FPS. Grenade. 00:17:53.760 --> 00:18:00.320 Give me some explosion effects. Whoa, we dropped down to 66. Plouffe fiddled 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:06.720 around with the settings and some are medium, some are high. So it's kind of a mix of how he likes it. But you know, I 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.520 think with a build like this it's not the kind of build where you're 00:18:08.120 --> 00:18:13.960 absolutely just going to be able to drop in at the highest settings. You are going to you know, you will you want to 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:19.600 tune things especially for like more modern titles. But like even in this 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:21.280 this game just came out 70 FPS or so 00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:24.680 it'll do especially for a kind of like a cozy GAME LIKE THIS. 00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:32.920 WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS. WE SPENT A little over a thousand dollars, but 00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:38.200 we're here and we're gaming. And at 1440p no less. Who could have 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:42.360 guessed a few years ago that Intel would be a budget option not only for CPUs, 00:18:40.360 --> 00:18:45.440 but for graphics cards too. If you're interested in any of the parts we used 00:18:44.080 --> 00:18:49.160 in this build, we'll have those linked in the video description. Hey, why don't 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:54.200 you head down there and leave a comment. Let me, Riley, the host of this video, 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:58.640 know if you think we should have fit a beefier GPU in there, you know? What 00:18:56.040 --> 00:19:02.800 would you have sacrificed to make it all work? 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:05.720 I'm pretty happy with it. Almost as happy as I am with this segue to our 00:19:04.280 --> 00:19:09.720 sponsor. Tello. Having an affordable phone plan 00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:13.760 should never come at the cost of call quality and Tello knows this.
