hey guys this is Austin and today me who is a gaming PC for $2,500 now this is about as expensive and as high-end as it gets while still being in the realm of sanity so of course you can spend way more on a computer but kind of beyond this point you kind of hit the point of diminishing returns so you want spend another $500 oh it might be 5% faster I spend another thousand dollars I might be 10 percent faster so you're not really gonna be getting those kind of huge performance gains as you do going from something like the thousand dollar bill to this for CPU we're going to be using an Intel Core i7 3770k processor now this is a killer CPU it is a four core design but it does have hyper threading which means that windows will see it as an eight core CPU now the base clock speed is only three point four Giga or rather three point five gigahertz but this is very very overclockable thanks to that case series branding so with the Senate that we have in this build you should easily able to get well over four gigahertz probably closer to four point five strictly for gaming this isn't that much better than the core i5 however it does have some other advantages for example if you ever would like to do some video editing virtual machines 3d rendering that kind of thing then the extra performance of the quiet seven will definitely come in handy all for about three hundred twenty dollars for a CPU cooler we're going to be using a corsair h 100 eye now this is what i use in my own build and i've been very impressed with it so far pretty much my only slight complaint is that the fans can get a little loud but thanks to the built-in corsair link software you can go ahead and adjust the fan speed and the curves straight from the OS so just open up the corsair link software and you're going to be good to go there now as far as the h100 igoe's itself is an all-in-one liquid cooler so that means that everything you need is totally built in you're not to worry about filling it or doing anything else pretty much just mount it onto your cpu put the radiator into the top of the case and you're good to go speaking of that radiator it is a dual 240 millimeter radiator with a pair of 120 millimeter fans aka all the geek talk aside this is going to deliver a lot of really great cooling performance for only buy one hundred and ten dollars for the graphics cards we're going to be using a pair of msi geforce gtx 680 s now these are some of the best GPUs on the market period so when you put two of them together in SLI expect some really really awesome performance now these aren't just any old gtx 680 s these are both the msi overclocked edition with our twin frozen's of cooling and on top of that they both do have 4 gigabytes of RAM built in this is important as a normal gtx 680 only has 2 gigabytes of memory now when you're only playing on a single monitor this really does come into play however when you're playing some really insane resolutions with multiple monitors that for goodbye it's a dedicated memory makes a big difference and allowing you to play all the best games and all the greatest settings now this is going to be very pricey so both of the GPUs together can run you over $1,000 for a motherboard we're going to be using an assay Bertuzzi 77 now this is bar none one of the best motherboards that money can buy so for starters it has a very very unique look with their sous Thermal Armor so you take a look at it it basically has a lot of well Thermal Armor all over the motherboard now this helps protect it as far as heat and all that kind of stuff it also really looks nice inside your case it also has all the features you would expect so of course you can overclock your cry 7 with this board it supports up to 32 gigabytes of memory you have full support for USB 3 SATA 3 as well as PCI 3 and more importantly than all of that it has a very very good build quality and a 5 year warranty so this board is built to last all for about $240 for memory we're going to be using 16 gigabytes of Samsung ddr3 RAM now I'm a huge fan of this stuff I use it in all kinds of my bills and that's because it works so for starters it's fairly cheap which hey even on an expensive bill that's always good to save a little bit of money and on top of that it delivers some absolutely stellar performance so by default it ships with a clock speed at 1600 megahertz which is fine you can leave it that and you have no problem but it is very easy to overclock the stuff to 1866 megahertz or even higher so all this for about $90 for 16 bytes is gonna be a great deal for an SSD we're going to be using a 128 gigabyte Samsung 840 pro series drive now this is in my opinion the best 2.5 inch SSD out there I is one of my own build and I've used Samsung SSDs for a while and never had any problems with them so then not only did deliver some absolutely stellar performance but they also give you good reliability which is you know good combo so of course with the 840 pro you also do have a couple of other options so again with this built I chose to go with a 128 gigabyte version as we have a normal hard drive for other you know files and all that kind of stuff but if you want more storage you can also bump this up to either 256 kilobytes or 512 gigabytes and all the links will be in the description of this video however if you want go ahead and stick with you 1 and 28 gigabyte version of this SSD it's gonna run you about $150 for a hard drive we're going to be using a 2 terabyte Western Digital caviar black now I'm a huge fan of SSDs they do have one problem and that is they get very expensive when you try to get and higher capacities so this story of trying to find a 2 terabyte SSD for us instead we're going to be pairing a hard drive with a normal SSD to get the best of both worlds so with the SSD you put all your major things for example windows you major programs your gains that kind of stuff and for the rest of everything else you go ahead and put it on the hard drive so you still have access to it but it doesn't have to be you know taking up all that space on your SSD so 2 terabytes of storage is gonna give you plenty of room and on top of that the caviar black is one of the fastest hard drives out there all for about $180 for a power supply we're going to be using a corsair ax 850 now when you're doing a major build like this with sli graphics cards overclocked CPU hard drives SSDs all the kind of bells and whistles inside the rig you definitely do not want to skimp on the power supply so of course you need the standard kind of stuff like enough wattage obviously to power at all but you also want to make sure that you get quality and that's what the corsair x-series provides so of course you get plenty of power to handle your graphics cards and all that kind of flat stuff but it also is a modular power supply so helps kind of keep your cable management nice and neat it's all for about $140 for a case we're going to be using the corsair obsidian 650d now a case is very important obviously as this is what your build looks like so if you get a green and purple case well your builds gonna be green and purples so there's a lot of things to keep in mind with a case not only of course with performance and the good size and all that kind of stuff but also the aesthetics now I'm a big fan of the 650d is I think it looks very very nice clean it does have a window so you can see all your cool components inside it also does have a pair of 200 millimeter fans with an integrated fan controller so you're going to get some really nice airflow through this case over by $150 for an optical drive we're going to be using an LG blu-ray burner now an optical drive is something that I consider optional on most of my builds however with something this high-end I think it does make sense to go ahead and include a blu-ray drive so you can watch your movies DVDs CDs all that kind of fun stuff now of course if you're not interested in this feel free to jettison it it's Jennison yeah that's that's the word jettison jettison the DVD Drive just on the blu-ray drive I'm gonna stick with that because it sounds cool anyway if you're not interested in having this you can by foul means jettison it and go ahead and just use a DVD driver in fact not even use an optical drive that's what I'm doing in my rig right now but if you do think that you're ever gonna need to watch blu-rays or install DVDs or whatever this is a good option for about $75 for an operating system you have the choice between Windows 7 Windows 8 so I didn't make this decision for you guys so I left this out of the bill and I will put links to both of these in the description so whichever one you want to go with you can so there are pros and cons with both Windows 7 is tried tested true it's a very excellent operating system I used it for many years however Windows 8 is the newer version of that so it brings some questionable improvements so the new interface is a little huh well it doesn't work too well on a desktop but the good thing is you can pretty much entirely ignore it so I use Windows 8 on my own system and basically I just ignore the Metro UI and use it kind of like a faster or more responsive Windows 7 also one thing to keep in mind is that what Microsoft is starting to face Windows 7 out so by the time you watch this video it actually may not be available for sale so well in that case your kind of mind is made up regardless though if you do want to pick up a copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8 it will run you about $100 so there you guys have it an awesome twenty five hundred dollar gaming PC of course prices are constantly fluctuating so I'll put links to all the best prices in the description of this video if you guys are interested in more I have lots more computer builds that everything from under $400 all the way up to this so no matter what your budget is hopefully I do have a build that you might be interested in so again go ahead check that out if you guys are interested and if you enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up and subscribe to the
