newegg reached out to us with a pretty cool proposition they were like hey
0:05
here's an idea Linus why don't you pick out a bunch of products that you think
0:09
your audience will like and we'll put them on sale for black friday so
0:14
immediately we thought hey why not build an entire new rig where each and every
0:19
component is on sale then we kicked it up a notch and decided to do not one but
0:24
two builds one for the Intel fans and one for all you lovable team red rascals
0:30
so here is our black friday shopping guide for the completely custom black
0:36
and orange friday on newegg.com
0:49
now cpus are most often discounted as part of a bundle but not this time
0:54
newegg is knocking 30 bucks off of everyone's favorite chip for single
0:58
threaded workloads the core i5 7600k and
1:02
40 off the 7700k which will be just 300.
1:07
the reason these deals are so juicy is that kb lake even though it's still
1:12
under a year old is no longer current gen
1:15
for the AMD fans ryzen is on sale but at
1:19
a smaller discount since they're already quite a bit less to begin with you can
1:22
get 10 bucks off of two of our top picks the ryzen 5 1600 and the ryzen 7 1700x
1:30
now the prices in this video are subject to change as we get closer to black
1:35
friday but we've been guaranteed that they won't be any higher than we say
1:39
here so i kind of hope they change but no matter which of those chips you
1:43
choose the Corsair h100i v2 240
1:46
millimeter all-in-one liquid cooler will keep it nice and cool and it's on for
1:50
just 85 bucks this is a great cooler for the price but just bear in mind that the
1:54
am4 socket mounts for ryzen are sold separately from Corsair's website
1:59
speaking of sockets you can pair your kb lake processor with an ASUS prime z270
2:04
plus motherboard for 120 bucks meanwhile
2:08
AMD folks can look forward to spending even less this ASUS b350 board supports
2:14
overclocking and is just 69
2:17
my favorite amount of money now it might seem counter-intuitive but
2:21
we're recommending different RAM kits for ryzen and Intel either kit should
2:26
work in your build if you go the other way just potentially not at their
2:30
advertised speeds the Intel tuned kit is 16 gigs of RGB Corsair vengeance RAM
2:35
available for 189.99 and then representing maybe the best deal of the
2:40
day is the ryzen tuned 16 gig kit of g-skills flare-x for 179.99
2:46
when it comes to graphics you may have heard that an AMD GPU works better with
2:51
an AMD processor but that is actually a big fat myth so from here on out no
2:56
matter what parts you've chosen so far your build will be compatible with the
3:00
rest of the stuff in the guide for the green gamers the ASUS strix gtx 1070 at
3:05
429 and if your blood flows red you can get a Gigabyte rx vega 56 at 409.99 or
3:13
389.99 if you can be asked to do the mail-in
3:16
rebate like RAM nan flash is currently
3:20
going through a global shortage in supply so 10 bucks off a 500 gig samsung
3:25
850 evo internal SSD is about the best
3:28
we can do for you the good news is if you're the type to uh you know take your
3:32
time and savor the moment you can get a slower 4 terabyte hard
3:38
drive from seagate for 25 off
3:41
for your power supply an evga supernova 850 g2 is a great option it's fully
3:47
modular 80 plus gold certified completely overpowered and a pretty
3:51
screaming deal at 99 bucks then for your case the Corsair 400c is a bargain
3:57
anytime but it's you know slightly more
4:00
bargainy on black friday at just 69.99
4:04
at that price you might as well get like two or three so it's cheaper than a
4:07
nightstand from ikea for peripherals we're recommending a
4:11
keyboard and mouse combo from logitech you can get the g403 wired gaming mouse
4:16
and g213 keyboard for 69.99 which is
4:19
basically buy one get one for 10 bucks total score there and then you can get
4:24
similar savings on one of the best value headsets out there the hyperx cloud twos
4:28
now only the red ones are on sale but i mean come on they're not even that red
4:34
so bringing us to the display you can get this 24 inch 144 hertz display from
4:40
MSI for 220 down from 250 and an extra
4:44
20 bucks off with a mail-in rebate it's got free sync so it would be perfect for
4:47
your AMD build but if you've got an NVIDIA card
4:51
freesync won't help you much and if that's tearing
4:55
up your heart you can get a similarly spec'd g-sync monitor from acer for
4:59
about 150 bucks more putting it all together then our Intel
5:03
builds are hovering at just around the 2 000 mark for everything while the AMD
5:08
builds are 1650 and 1750 but these price
5:12
differences aren't so large once we ditch the peripherals and just look at
5:15
the tower overall the ryzen 5 build is the most heavily discounted and looks
5:20
like a killer value and the best part is you can order everything here online in
5:25
your underwear with zero risk of being killered
5:29
by a stampede of crazed shoppers
