hey guys this is Austin welcome to the baryon this is a $1,500 gaming PC and it hits an interesting spot if you spend a lot more than this you're really going to hit the law of diminishing returns sure you can spend two three four thousand dollars on a gaming PC how it's really not going to perform that much better than something like this kicking things off we have the Intel Core i5 6600 K now it comes to a gaming CPU it's hard to beat a core i5 not only is this a quad-core chip based on Intel's latest gallic process but it's also fully overclockable so out of the box you're getting a clock speed of 3.5 gigahertz however throw a little bit of extra juice at it and you're going to get well above 4 gigahertz no problem you can upgrade to a core i7 however there is very little difference in performance when it comes to games the main reason to spend an extra hundred dollars on the i7 is if you want to do more intense tasks such as video editing to keep things cool we have a hyper 612 from Coolermaster this is a fairly beefy heatsink it has six copper heat pipes and it not only runs quiet but it also gives you lots of room for overclocking the real star of the show is that EVGA geforce gtx 1070 graphics card this thing is no joke not only is it based on in videos new Pascal architecture which means that it's fast and it clocks really high but it's also the EVGA superclocked variety which means that it's clocked even faster than the stock version it's outfitted with 8 gigabytes of gddr5 memory which is more than pretty much any game is using at this point now on top of that this thing is seriously fast as you'll see a little bit later on it pushes some crazy pixels the Braylon can also handle VR so I'm using the oculus rift right now however it also is totally compatible with the HTC 5 and only does it run it completely smooth but it's actually quite a bit above the known spec which means this should be able to handle VR for quite a while to come yeah you can also kill stuff too as that's part for the motherboard we have the Isuzu 178 now I've got to say this is probably my favorite motherboard out right now not only is it fairly cheap but it has all the features you might want and then some you've got plenty of USB ports including a dedicated 3.1 and a USB type-c you have an m2 slot for a super-fast SSD which we're using for this build and it's in a su sport which means that it's built well and it's going to get plenty of BIOS updates it's a really solid all-around package for memory we're using 16 gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance lpx memory now 16 gigabytes is actually kind of overkill for gaming rig it's really more for being able to do extra stuff like video editing or you know using Google Chrome for the SSD we have something a little different this is a 256 gigabyte Samsung 950 pro now as an nvme drive this is way faster than any other normal SATA SSD you're gonna get write speeds of around one gigabyte per second and read speeds well over 1.5 gigabytes per second this is one seriously quick Drive backing it up we have the one terabyte WD black hard drive now this is going to give you some much-needed extra space in addition to the SSD it might not be as fast but it's a perfect place to store extra steam games and other random files that you don't need to keep on the SSD powering everything is the 750 watt EVGA supernova power supply this is going to be more than enough for the build as is as well as if you want to do some upgrades it's 80 plus gold rated and it's a modular supply which means that you can have some nice neat cable management or not it's up to you housing the baryon is the fractal design define s I really like this case it only is a large chassis with plenty of room for upgrades it also has some really nice cable management options pair with that nice big window you can show off your build in all its glory this can handle some pretty intense 4k gaming so in GTA 5 we're able to play on very high settings at 4k at around 54 frames per second moving on to shadow of Mordor the 4k train keeps on rolling so here we're able to play on Ultra settings and we're still getting around 52 frames per second jump into the witcher 3 and we do have to turn the settings down to high at 4k however the game still looks fantastic and we're getting about 40 frames per second moving to a DirectX 12 game we have ashes of the singularity which really does put a lot of stress on the system here though on extreme settings at 4k we're getting 42 frames per second at $1500 the baryon really does hit the sort of high-end sweet spot as always I will have all the links you guys need in the description of this video and if you enjoy make sure to subscribe for more PC balls like this
