2016-05-31
hey guys this is austin building your own computer is one thing what if you want an entire set up for $700 not only can you get a solid pc but pretty much all the accessories you need kicking things off is the aoc i 2367 monitor this used to be my main display and for $130 you're actually getting a lot it's rocking a 23 inch 1080p IPS display this force totally respectable color on contrast while it might not be the most high red screen in the world 1080p is still a good sweet spot for gaming viewing angles aren't bad and while it does like speakers i usually don't find much use for monitor speakers anyway it absolutely looks the part too with a thin bezel and dual HDMI inputs which is connected to the boson 3.0 this is one of my PC builds that comes in at $350 and can handle most games on at least medium at 1080p with an SSD along with the decent graphics card I've already done a video on all the parts and a more detailed look at performance as well as a full tutorial on how to put it together if you guys want to check that out but this is absolutely the heart of the set up next up we've got the Tomoko MMC Oh 23 keyboard well there are plenty of cheap membrane keyboards out there moving up to mechanical makes a huge difference it has the same satisfying sound and feel of a mechanical switch with a more compact 87 key design which I usually prefer over options with a number-pad it's solidly built and while you won't find flashy LEDs you do have blue key switches which are fairly similar to the corresponding MX blues you'll find a more expensive keyboards for less than $40 it's an easy choice to go with over a normal membrane option to go along with it we have the Logitech g600 Mouse well usually wired is the way to go for a gaming mouse the G 602 works surprisingly well Wireless it comes with a USB dongle to keep latency to a minimum and importantly it's also comfortable in the hand like most Logitech mice it might not be pretty but it gets the job done with a series of programmable buttons along the left side along with a switch to adjust dpi which goes up to 2500 the tracking is smooth and reliable and Logitech quotes around 250 hours of battery life with the included double-a batteries for $55 the G 602 is a solid choice to go along with the mouse and keyboard we've got a giant gaming pad from the glorious pc gaming race because they know who they're selling to this is the extended version which is easily big enough to fit everything with plenty of room to spare as a desk mat but you can also get a smaller version that's dedicated for just your mouse well you can absolutely get away without a mouse pad with the G 602 this goes a long way toward rounding out the set up for audio we've got one of my absolute favorites right now the status cb1 headphones these have been living in my bag everywhere I go for a few weeks now and they pack some serious sound they reminds me a lot of the audio technica ath in 50s but I actually prefer the CB ones they deliver richer audio with better soundstage I'm by no means an audiophile but there's something special about the sound out of the CB ones it doesn't hurt that they're well built and have nice soft padding to make them comfortable for longer listening periods along with a detachable coil cable that locks into place for $80 I've got to say I'm a big fan to go along with the CB ones we've got a satochi headphone stand on top of being a nice place to keep your headphones they're solidly built out of aluminium and come in a few different colors you can also plug your headphones straight into the stand to get audio over USB Meli does this keep your cables a bit cleaner but it also works as a USB hub you get three USB 3.0 ports on the base of the stand which is handy to plug a few accessories and easily at $35 it might be a bit pricey but it goes a long way toward making the setup pop as always you can mix and match pieces of the setup and I'll have all the links you need in the description but for $700 including the gaming PC I think this is a killer way to get into PC gaming
