hey guys this is Austin and today music video going over a PC built for $1000 so a lots changed in the last couple of months since I did my last PC build video so the Intel Ivy Bridge processors are now out so not only are they a little bit faster but they also take a bus power so when when they're and on top of that AMD and NVIDIA both released all kinds of new graphics cards so let's go and take the best of the best and create a thousand dollar gaming machine to kick our build off I'm going to be using the Intel Core i5 35 70 K CPU now for the past year and a half or so the i5 2500 K is one of my favorite CPUs for gaming computers and this is the successor overall this is gonna be very similar to the previous generation i5 so it's still gonna have four cores without hyper-threading support itself it's still going to be close to 3.4 gigahertz however the major difference is since this is one of the new Ivy Bridge processors is now based on the new Intel 22 nanometer process now this means a couple of things for starters it's gonna be a little bit faster for the most part so don't expect any kind of major major differences however it's still gonna be very very fast and still gonna work really really well for pretty much anything you throw at it on top of that it's also gonna take up a little bit less power so instead of being a 95 watt part it's not going to be a 77 watt part so it's gonna be a little bit easier on your power supply your motherboard all that kind of good stuff this is a case series CPU you should be able to overclock it well in excess of 4 gigahertz which makes it an awesome start for a build for $250 we're also going to be using a cooler master hyper 212 plus CPU cooler and by default you're gonna get a CPU cool or a lot like this well this is alright for base clock speeds and some kind of moderate overclocking if you want to do some major stuff and you wanna get the best performance out of your CPU a hyper 212 Plus will be fantastic it comes with one fan and if you'd like you can add a secondary fan for push-pull airflow about twenty-five dollars this is gonna be a great addition to our build for a motherboard we're going to be going with a gigabyte gaz 77 d3h now I use a gigabyte board in my build and this one's got all the features that you need this is one of the new z77 boards which means it features full support for all the cool new features in Ivy Bridge so that means they will fully support processor overclocking it also now supports PCI Express 3.0 it also has USB 3.0 built into the chipset it fully supports the intel HD 4000 graphics built into your cpu so if you ever need is there it also has a dual UEFI bios so if you have any problems overclocking your updating your bios you can always revert to the backup and you're gonna be good to go and of course it does have USB 3 port as well three six gigabit per second which gives it pretty much all the major features you need for about $120 for a graphics card we're going to be using the asustor Radeon 7850 this is gonna give us plenty of power to run pretty much any of today's games totally maxed out with two gigabytes of gddr5 vram this is gonna have plenty memory to handle pretty much anything you throw at it on top of that it's also based on the new twenty eight nanometer process so just like with Ivybridge what this means is more performance with less power draw it also fully supports PCI Express 3.0 it also has a Seuss's direct Cu cooling technology basically what that means is that it's gonna have dual fans so it's gonna be really good if you want to overclock that what you devil it can do and it's gonna give you some really awesome performance for about $250 per memory we're going to be using eight gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance ddr3 RAM those are the same stuff that I use in my computer although this is with the lower profile heat sinks now basically the major difference is is that with the low profile heatsink you can have more room to mount a secondary fan on your hyper 212 plus seat you cooler now again not a huge deal if you want to get the different version with the bigger heat sinks by all means go ahead but overall some really solid stuff for about fifty five dollars for storage we're going to be using a pair of drives starting with an SSD no no sometimes I get some flack from you guys about including an SSD in my game build if you want to continue using the caviar black by all means go ahead however in my opinion an SSD is totally a hundred and ten percent worth it le doesn't make your system way faster I mean come on it's a gaming PC you don't want to have a slow pokey old hard drive in there but on top of that there are actually not all that expensive especially considering that SSD prices are going down and hard drive prices are still high so yeah we're gonna go ahead and use an SSD in this one and ozz agility 360 gigabyte SSD ought to do the trick now be the first to admit sixteen gigabytes is not a lot of storage cover all you need to do is just install your operating system your major programs and games you know just this kind of stuff that you need super fast access to everything else can go on your secondary hard drive now beyond that it may not be the fastest or the best SSD in the world for about sixty dollars it's absolutely gonna smoke any kind of physical hard drive out there for our main storage drive we're going to be using a Seagate Barracuda 2 terabyte 7200 rpm Drive now this is going to be plenty of speed to put on all your kinds of music pictures media you can also install extra a couple of games on there if you want and on top of that since you've got two terabytes that's gonna have plenty of space for pretty much all your stuff for about $110 it's gonna be a great addition to our build for power supply we're going to be going with an OSI ZMOT Extreme Pro 6nr what much they're supplying with 600 watts of capacity it's gonna have plenty of power to run our build as well as if you do any upgrades as far as hard drives fans that kind of stuff on top of that since it's a modular supply that means that you don't have a massive pile of cables in your case simply plug in what you need right at all you're gonna be good to go for about $50 for a case we're going to be using the antique 300 to do I like this for quite a few reasons for starters it's a nice big case so you get plenty of room for all your kind of awesome high-end hardware that you're about to pack in there on top of that you also have a really nice airflow so since we're gonna be overclocking and you want of course got a lot of nice cool air flow to make sure everything doesn't explode because exploding is bad so you have nice air flow and you also have quite a few extra fan mounts if you want to kind of improve the airflow and change it up all for about $70 is an absolutely awesome case to start with for an optical drive we're going to be going with the missus DVD burner now this is kind of optional I know a lot of people don't even use optical drives anymore however I've definitely pundit it can be helpful of course you want installed windows you want to install any kind of programs that's on a disk it definitely can't come in handy of course if you let skip this you get like an or if you want to upgrade to a blu-ray definitely feel free but otherwise it's gonna run you about twenty two dollars and the other option is going to be Windows 7 now I used to include this in all my build whoever got a lot of feedback from you guys saying hey I don't need Windows 7 I've got an older version of Windows or I'm gonna be using Linux or I've got Windows 8 so if you want to go ahead and skip this feel free but otherwise it is gonna be a hundred dollars so what's the damage overall the build is gonna cost you one thousand thirteen dollars in 91 cents yeah yeah I know I lied I said it's a thousand dollar bill but if you gotta go flip your couch over fine head extra $14 to go for it now definitely keep in mind that prices are constantly fluctuating so I have links to everything in the description of this video so keep in mind that by the time you watch this it could be much higher much lower or whatever but again all links will be in the description if you enjoyed this video definitely sure to leave it a thumbs up really
