hey guys this is austin and stating here with the gaming pc built for $1,500 and this is a high-end pc that's really aimed at giving you maximum performance out of your games as well as of course pretty much anything else you throw at it thanks to the brand-new Intel Haswell CPU as well as the GTX 760 card to give you an idea of the performance here's a demo of the PC running battlefield 3 now here all the settings have turned up to ultra and the resolution is set to 1080p and as you can see here pretty much stays above 60 frames per second at all times moving on we have Far Cry 3 another game that looks fantastic especially as you're able to turn the settings up here we have no problem there being able to turn everything up to ultra as well as running eight times a to aliasing and still the PC handles at no problem the next step we have Crysis 3 which is by far one of the best-looking PC games ever so here we're able to run on very high settings so pretty much everything is cranked up we also do have FXAA enabled and it is absolutely no problem yet again last but not least we have BioShock Infinite which while not quite as graphically intensive this crisis is still a fantastic looking game here we have no problems whatsoever running it on full Ultra settings with everything cranked up at 1080p and even then we're still getting well above 60 frames per second at pretty much all times to kick the build off we're going to be using an Intel Core i5 46 70 K processor now this is only the new Intel Haswell CPUs that just came out a couple days ago an overall it's a nice improvement over the last generation give you about 10 percent more performance now of course this is a quad core CPU clocked to 3.4 gigahertz however since this is a case series part that means that we can overclock and of course the rest of the build is totally designed to work with that as well so I was able to get about four point four gigahertz on this core i5 although every one is different but at least getting four gigahertz is going to be absolutely no problem with this build so overall you're gonna get eight underperformance all for about two hundred and forty dollars for CPU cooler we're going to be using a corsair h80 high now a lot of cooling is great for bells like this have when you get into making an entire custom loop it becomes very complicated very fast when you use a closed-loop system such as the H ATI it's much simpler and you still get all the same benefits from using liquid cooling so of course this is really gonna be aimed at giving you a much better overclock on your core i5 well of course the added benefit of getting rid of a giant ugly heatsink in the middle of your motherboard also definitely appreciated so this is definitely going to be worth it for about 90 bucks for a motherboard we're going to be using a gigabyte gaz 87 xu d3h so this is a great motherboard that supports pretty much all the features that you would expect including obviously the core i5 as well as overclocking it up to 32 gigabytes of ram as well as thanks to the z87 chipset up to 10 USB 3.0 ports and 8 SATA 3 ports which means that you can plug in lots of SSDs hard drives all that kind of stuff so overall this is a fantastic method board all for about $190 for a graphics card we want to be using a 2 gigabyte EVGA GeForce GTX 770 now this is another brand new card and delivers some very very solid performance as you guys saw in the benchmarks earlier but on top of that it's also a very nicely designed card with the new EVGA ACX cooler delivering lots of cooling performance and you can also get a pretty decent overclock on this card if you'd like speaking up overclocks this card is actually very similar to the old gtx 680 when it's clocked higher it's got faster memory and it's going to deliver tons and tons of performance for about four hundred and ten dollars for memory we're going to be using 8 gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance ddr3 RAM now this is all stuff that recommended a lot of my builds in fact I'm using it in the system right behind me here and that's because not only is it reliable but it's also clocked at 1600 megahertz which in my opinion is still a sweet spot even on a has well based system like this now if 8 gigabytes isn't enough for you you can very easily upgrade to 16 gigabytes pretty simply over this system we're just gonna stick with eight gigs of RAM all for about 68 bucks for an SSD we're going to be using 120 gigabyte Samsung 840 series drives now an SSD is probably one of the best upgrades you can do to a computer as it really does make a massive amount of difference in normal day-to-day tasks and even stuff like loading games it just happens so much faster and so much more consistently it makes a huge difference over a normal hard drive so as far as the 840 series drive itself goes it does have one on 20 combines up capacity which well definitely isn't much is definitely plenty for your main games for a couple of things like for example your programs windows that kind of thing and the rest of your stuff can definitely go on the other hard drive and of course on top of that it is a Samsung Drive which means it's going to be very reliable very quick all for about 95 bucks for the hard drive we're going to be a 1 terabyte Western Digital caviar black now like I sang with the SSD while it's an awesome solution and much much faster and pretty much any kind of normal hard drive that you can find the one disadvantage is that you really don't get a whole lot of storage space so that's where pairing it with a standard hard drive for your normal things for example your pictures your media you know the kind of normal stuff that you don't need lightning fast access to definitely make sense with a stand hard drive now if one terabyte of storage you're gonna have plenty of room for parents all your kind of stuff although I will mention that there's also a 2 terabyte version if you want to upgrade that but on top of that since it is a caviar black it is actually pretty fast for a hard drive not quite as fast as the SSD but still you're gonna give very decent performance out of this for about 95 dollars for a case we're going to be using a fractal design define our for now this is a stylist optimized case which means that not only is it well-built but also does have some noise dampening foam inside a door over the front intake as well as to quiet fans connected to a fan controller so that means that you're going to get still plenty of good performance well I actually happen to sacrifice on noise on top of that since it is a full sized ATX enclosure that means you have room for of course the motherboard you have room for additional graphics cards hard drives fans all about kind of fun stuff and in fact I like this case so much that well you can see one right behind me here because that's what I've got my main built in anyway if you want to pick up a define art for it's gonna run you about a hundred and ten dollars for the power supply we want to be using a 750 watt Corsair TX 750 m now with seven and fifty watts of capacity that's gonna be more than that to run your build as is even with some overclocking on top of that you could add an additional gtx 770 to the build it will run no problem on top of that since it is an 80 plus bronze certified power supply it's gonna be fairly efficient and well built and it is a modular power supply as well which means it's gonna be a lot easier to get all the cables out of the way instead of having to deal with tugging a bunch of stuff and you're buying the motherboard and underneath the drive trays and all that kind of stuff you just simply only a plug in the exact things that you need and everything else will just stay out of the way so they're about $115 this is gonna be a great power supply for the build for the optical drive we're going to be using an LG blu-ray drive now this is definitely optional I know for me I hardly ever use the kind of DVD or blu-ray drive however it is definitely something nice to have if you ever need to install a disk for example or you want to watch a movie as of course this is not only going to be working with blu-rays but of course DVDs and CDs as well so it's not all let's say about this you can freely you decide to skip out on it and save yourself a little bit of money but if you do want a blu-ray drive in your computer it's only gonna run you about forty dollars so there you have it an awesome $1500 gaming computer of course prices are always changing so I will have links to everything I mentioned in the description of this video as well as some additional upgrades so for example if you wanted more RAM a bigger hard drive maybe an Wi-Fi adapter whatever I'll have some additional links in the description if you guys want to do some upgrades to the computer if you're interested in more feel free to check out my full tutorial on how to build a gaming PC and if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and subscribe for more PC builds like this anyway guys I will catch you
