hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with my next computer build video so it's been a couple months since I did my last one in the meantime I've got a ladder quest to do a really high end awesome gaming PC so it's what I'm going to be doing today with a PC that comes in at the $1,500 price point start our build off with we'll be using an Intel Core i5 2500 KC bu now I know you guys are afraid all on your keyboards right now saying Core i5 why not use the core i7 the main difference between the i-5 and the i7 is that the i7 has hyper-threading which allows Windows to see it as a cores as opposed to 4 and while that's great if you do a lot of heavily threaded tasks such as video editing and that kind of stuff for games most of the time they struggle to use up for course so that 8 virtual quarters really is going to give you a lot of performance benefit beyond that it's very similar to the i7 you're still going to be able to overclock it into the stratosphere in most cases well over 4 gigahertz and it's still gonna be an absolutely rock-solid CPU for now like gaming for just day they used to have absolutely tons and tons of power for about 230 bucks this is a great way to start or build next we're going to be using a cooler master hyper 212 + CPU cooler now the i5 is going to have a cooler just like this and while this is fine it's gonna be singing a base clock speeds all day if you want to do some major overclocking the hyper 212 plus is a great way to go this makes way more heat it allows you to get some really high overclock without catching your CPU on fire so this one's gonna run about 25 bucks or so and in my opinion it's gonna be well worth it next step will be using the gigabyte gaz 68 ud3 motherboard this is the same one that I've been using in my computer for almost a year now and I gotta say it's a great motherboard now that doesn't look awesome it's got a black PCB which I love those things beats the blue and all the kind of ridiculous colors that really don't belong in a gaming case but on top of that it's got all the major features that you need since it's a z68 board that means you can be able to overclock your cpu as high as you want and on top of that it's got all the major features that you want so it's got SATA 3 it's got USB 3 and it's built really well so it's got a nice thick boards not like gonna be really be flexing when you get big GPUs in there so overall it's a great board for about 155 bucks now comes the fun part for GPU we're going to be using the Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 now as many of you guys know this is a brand new card from AMD and it is one of the most powerful single GPU cars that you can buy the 7950 is a great card and on top of that you can actually overclock it so in some cases you can actually get up to the same level of the 7970 with three gigabytes of gddr5 memory this thing is absolutely going to demolish any game you throw at it including pedal field 3 on ultra that's pretty much gonna be your reaction no it does expensive it's gonna run you about $480 so it's by far the most expensive thing into this entire build however if you want the absolute best performance you can get without having to go with crossfire or a dual GPU card this is gonna be the way to go for memory we're going to be going with 16 gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance ddr3 RAM now this stuff's clocked at 1600 megahertz and probably the first admit 16 gigabytes of RAM is overkill in a gaming machine you never know when that extra might come in handy this is the same Ram I have in my computer however the difference is this has a low-profile heatsink so while mine looks great it's got a very tall heatsink and it makes it impossible to add a second fan to my hyper 212 Plus for better CPU cooling so it's better idea if my opinion to go with this low profile stop it should perform just the same and for about a hundred bucks or so it's gonna be a great way to go since this is a high-end gaming machine you gotta use an SSD in this case we're going to be using 128 gigabyte Samsung 830 Drive now this is one of my favorites for a couple of reasons for one it's reliable sure you can spend a lot more and get an Intel Drive which may be slightly more reliable however it's gonna be very close and beat a lot of the other SSDs on the market and on the flip side you're going to get great performance again maybe not quite as good as some of the same force drives on the market but it's going to be very close with over 500 megabytes per second read speeds so you put that together you get a really good reliability you get really good price and of course you get that great performance this is gonna be a great way to go great huh that was bad but anyway it does come with a copy of Batman Arkham City as well as Norton ghosts so get a little couple freebies in there for hand 80 bucks it's a great way to go enjoy a gigabytes really isn't going to be enough though so willing to add a two terabyte Western Digital caviar grain drive this is a very simple Drive I have a pair of them in my computer they work really well they may not leave me the fastest thing in the world but of course the things that you really got to get at your OS your major programs that kind of stuff will go on the SSD and for the main hard drive you can put you know music movies pictures maybe a couple steam games that kind of stuff that you're not gonna need the super fast access to it's gonna be great got plain storage it's gonna be a good Drive about 130 bucks for power we have the corsair TX 750 watt modular power supply nowadays you have some choices here so the one I've chosen which is the 750 watt supply with modular capability is great however if you don't really care about having a modular supply you just want to have all the normal cables and try to wrap them around the case you can't save a few bucks in fact the non modular supply is what I use in my array right now over on top of that you can also go down low bit so Senate fifty watts there's a bit overkill for this machine you should be able to get by with 650 so if you want to go ahead and bump the the wise down a little bit you should be okay however having seven I have fifty Watts having that a little bit of extra envelope for power and whatnot is good for upgrades as well as if you ever decide to rebuild your computer overall though that's gonna run you about 115 bucks and of course less if you decide to gain on modular supply or go down to a 650 watt supply moving on to the case in this case we're going to be using a hand tech 302 so the 302 is a fantastic case which allows you to have lots of room for all your kinds of hard drives graphics cards that kind of thing but also gives you some really nice air flows to keep everything nice and cool now if the original antique 300 was a really really well-loved case it had lots of room and all that kind of stuff and the 302 is the newer version with USB 3 and some new improvements as far as air flow all that kind of good stuff however this is definitely your choice so a case is the thing that you're going to be looking at you know of course all your parts are in there but as far as the aesthetics go the case is by far the most important step so if you want a different case with perhaps a window LEDs that kind of stuff absolutely feel free to go for it go for if you're looking something a little more understand they're still gonna get the job done in all other categories the antique 302 is great for about 70 bucks lastly we have an Isuzu DVD burner now this was optional I know a lot of you guys really don't use optical drives anymore however it definitely can come in handy especially if you're installing Windows or programs and all that kind of stuff if you want you can skip this one or you can upgrade to a blu-ray drive depending on how you use it but overall if you're looking for something really basic for 20 bucks this is a great addition to your build so what's the damage well as of filming this video the entire price of the build is going to come to one thousand four hundred and ninety six dollars and ninety cents so we're definitely keep in mind that prices are constantly fluctuating so by the time you watch this video it may have gone up down all that kind of stuff so make sure that you know exactly what it is I've links to all the parts in the description of this video anyway guys if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up really helps me out and interested more videos like this be sure
