hey guys Boston and welcome to the boson 4.0 so for $400 million are you getting a system that's going to be easy to build especially if this is your first time building a gaming PC we're also getting a lot of power so start with we have the thermal tech versa h 15k this is one during micro ATX which means that we have plenty of room for all of our components plus a little bit of upgrading in the future but more importantly than that it's going to be easy to work in so if I pop it open here you can see that I'm looking at the wrong side but in theory it's easy to work on it by come at it from this way so around back there's a 120 millimeter exhaust band up front there's a USB 2 port as well as USB 3 so this might not be the most fancy case in world it does have some cool features including a removable dust filter for your power supply for when you put this on carpet and it gets all gross and dusty for power we have the full 130 watts EVGA supply now especially when it comes to budget builds you do need to be careful what kind of power supplies are getting so well sure there are cheaper options than this this is kind of the heart of the build you do not want to put a very cheap supply at your build and have it explode maybe I explode but seriously you do want to at least get something decent and with foreigners very lots of capacity this should be more than that for the bill that is so once we get the car supplied slid in here you'll see it actually fits pretty well and while this case doesn't have the best cable management in the world we actually do have some room back here to route some of our cable for the motherboard we have the nside be 250m Pro VD because motherboard names are awesome now what is cool about this is it is with that be 250 chipset supporting not only skylight but also the brand new Intel KB Lake processors so it was a little bit of a basic board we do have some cool features including check out that PCI slot so I've actually never seen ones metal the idea is is that it's going to give some more protection when you're say traveling with a computer and you've got that heavy graphics card that's trying to rip the whole thing out of the slot trust me it happens on top of that we also do have an m2 slot which only supports SSDs but also the new Intel octane powering the boson 4.0 is new Intel Pentium G 4560 now typically pen teams haven't been good for gaming bulbs what's special about this is that it supports hyper threading essentially turning this into a core i3 the cost a whole lot less so even though it might be don't underestimate the Pentium so with a clock speed of 3.5 gigahertz it actually really isn't that far off or even the higher-end ship like the Core i5 depending on the game it's really speaking for a bill like this this is going to be pretty much perfect who's actually going to be like first time trying to G 45 60 now as a guy who's done just a couple of budget build I'm really excited to see what this thing can do but from everything I've seen it is no joke as far as performance goes next up we have memory and here we're using a gigabytes of HyperX fury so the cool things about skylake and KB Lake chips is that they do support ddr4 so it's not really a huge difference compared to ddr3 it is a little bit quicker and hey I always take a couple extra frames and I can get them so this is going to give us a gigabytes of RAM in the boson which is fine for now but if you ever do want to upgrade we do have an additional den slot so if you ever wanna get this guy up to 16 gigabytes it's no problem so things are going along pretty like this so far however next up we have the graphics card which in this case is an EVGA gtx 1050 so the GPA is 1050 is none of these parts that really does make a ton of sense for budget builds so we're about a hundred and ten dollars or so we're getting a lot of horsepower here and especially when you pair it with that Pentium we should be good for some pretty decent 1080p gaming while it packs a punch the tip 50 is a pretty small little card and that's not exactly a bad thing not only does it easily fit in our case with tons of room to spare but it also is completely powered from the motherboard so what we have all of our connectors for more beefy graphics cards this guy pulls all power needs straight from that PCI slot and that is about it however last but not least we have an SSD and yes this is an SSD in a $400 system so it is 2017 and I am a firm believer that you should not be buying or building a computer without an SSD it makes such a huge difference to everyday usability of a computer so much faster so much less frustrating so for this we actually went with the Kingston SSDs now UV 400 now the only real downside with this this is only 120 gigabytes so if you don't like going just a little bit over the $400 budget you can upgrade this to 240 gigabytes or since this is a game PC and we have plenty of room for expansion you can add an additional hard drive here to have extra stuff like games files that kind of thing so you kind of get the best of both worlds and it's as simple as that to build the boson 4.0 so now I'm going to do a little bit of cable management get this guy all up and running and we'll see what it can actually do so this is Grand Theft Auto 5 running on the boson so right now we're playing at 1080p high settings and we're getting anywhere between about 70 to 100 frames depending on what we're doing so this is a 134 Hertz monitor so that extra framerate actually does look nice and smooth but if you're playing on a standard display you can see currently setting it up even more and still get a very smooth output next up we have overwatch and this is one of those games that really does look better on PC versus console merely do the graphics look nice at 1080p on high we're also getting a super smooth a to about 100 frames per second now I think I mean sure it's totally playable on console I mean if you're playing at 60 Hertz it's fine but being able to have the option of actually really cranking back graphics settings up while still getting a nice solid frame rate is really helpful for $400 the boson 4.0 is a pretty solid little gaming PC so as always the links to everything you guys need to actually build this guy will be in the description I'm curious what neat guys think about the latest boson let me know in the comments below and I will catch you on the next one
